(i) If the Adjustment Amount is a positive number, then (A) Parent and Buyer shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount and (B) Parent and Seller shall promptly issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to pay the Working Capital Adjustment Escrow Amount, and any proceeds, income and reinvestments thereon (collectively, net of any amounts released from the Escrow Account established to hold

the Working Capital Adjustment Escrow Amount, the “Working Capital Adjustment Escrow Funds”) to an account designated by Seller.

(ii) If the Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then Parent and Seller shall promptly issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to pay from the Working Capital Adjustment Escrow Funds to an account designated by Parent an amount equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount. If the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount is greater than the Working Capital Adjustment Escrow Funds (the amount of such excess, the “Excess Working Capital Adjustment Amount”), then Parent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to (A) require, pursuant to a written notice delivered to the Escrow Agent and Seller, that the Excess Working Capital Adjustment Amount be released and paid, subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement, by the Escrow Agent from the Indemnification Escrow Amount and any proceeds, income and reinvestments thereon (collectively, net of any amounts released from the Escrow Account established to hold the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the “Indemnification Escrow Funds”) (in which case any payment so made shall reduce the Indemnification Escrow Funds by a corresponding amount) or (B) require, pursuant to written notice delivered to Seller, that Seller promptly pay to an account designated by Parent the Excess Working Capital Adjustment Amount. If the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount is less than the Working Capital Adjustment Escrow Funds, then Parent and Seller shall promptly issue joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to cause the Escrow Agent to pay the remainder of the Working Capital Adjustment Escrow Funds to an account designated by Seller.

(c) Disputed Adjustment Amount. Seller shall have fifteen (15) days from the date that Parent delivers the Final Closing Statement (the “Closing Dispute Period”) to notify Parent, in writing, as to whether Seller disagrees with the calculations set forth in the Final Closing Statement (such notice, a “Closing Dispute Notice”); provided, however, that a Closing Dispute Notice may only include objections based on (i) the failure of the Final Closing Statement to comply with Exhibit C hereto and/or (ii) mathematical errors in the computations in the Final Closing Statement. During the Closing Dispute Period, Seller and its accountants shall be permitted to review (during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice) the working papers of Parent and Buyer and (where applicable and subject to Seller and its accountants entering into any undertakings required by Parent or Buyer’s accountants) Parent’s and Buyer’s accountants relating to the matters set forth in the Final Closing Statement. If Seller fails to deliver a Closing Dispute Notice in accordance with this Agreement during the applicable Closing Dispute Period, then (A) the Closing Date Balance Sheet as delivered by Parent shall be deemed to have been correctly prepared, and (B) Parent’s calculation of the items set forth in the Final Closing Statement shall be deemed to be final and correct and shall be binding upon all of the parties hereto. Any matter not specifically referenced in the Closing Dispute Notice shall be conclusively deemed to have been agreed upon by the parties.

(d) Resolution of Disputed Adjustment Amount.

(i) Parent and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after Seller’s delivery of a Closing Dispute Notice (or such longer period as Parent and Seller shall mutually agree upon) to resolve any

disagreements raised by Seller in such Closing Dispute Notice. If, at the end of such period, Parent and Seller are unable to resolve such disagreements, the parties shall jointly select RSM Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (Toronto office) or, if it is unable or unwilling to serve, another independent accounting firm of recognized international standing (the “Arbitrator”) for review and resolution of all matters (but only such matters) which remain in dispute and which were properly included in the Closing Dispute Notice. The parties shall instruct the Arbitrator to, and the Arbitrator shall, make a final determination of the items included in the Closing Dispute Notice (to the extent such amounts are in dispute) in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The parties shall instruct the Arbitrator to not, and the Arbitrator shall not, assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Parent, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Parent, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand. Parent and Seller shall also instruct the Arbitrator to, and the Arbitrator shall, make its determination based solely on presentations by Parent and Seller which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The determination by the Arbitrator shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties. Parent and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Arbitrator to make its determination within thirty (30) calendar days of accepting its selection. Within five (5) Business Days after the date of determination of the Arbitrator, Parent and Seller shall cause the Adjustment Amount to be paid in accordance with Section 2.5(b)(i) or Section 2.5(b)(ii), as applicable.

(ii) The dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Section 2.5(d) are the sole and exclusive means and remedy for determining and calculating the Final Closing Statement and the components thereof for the purposes of this Section 2.5, other than in the event of Fraud, in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to such other rights and remedies as are permitted by applicable Law.

(e) Method of Payments. All payments made by or on behalf of Parent, Buyer or Seller pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the payee in writing.

Section 2.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, Parent shall retain (at its sole cost and expense) Valuation Research Corporation or such other independent accounting or valuation firm selected by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to Seller (the “Valuation Firm”), to determine an allocation in accordance with applicable standards (the “Allocation”) of the Cash Purchase Price, together with the Assumed Liabilities treated as purchase price for Tax purposes (collectively, the “Allocated Purchase Price”), among the Purchased Assets (including all of the Equity Interests of Interfast USA Holdings and Interfast Europe) and the Non-Compete Agreements in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any comparable provisions of state, local and any non-U.S. Tax Law). Parent and Seller shall each have an opportunity to provide comments, in good faith, to the Valuation Firm as to an appropriate Allocation, provided that the determination of the Allocation by the Valuation Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The Parent shall instruct the Valuation Firm to prepare and deliver a draft of the Allocation to Parent and Seller for comment as soon as practicable after the date hereof and to prepare and deliver to Parent and

Seller the final Allocation within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (or such shorter period otherwise required by applicable Law). Seller, Parent and Buyer shall prepare and file their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation, as adjusted by Parent, acting reasonably, and delivered to Seller for any adjustments to the Allocated Purchase Price under this Agreement (the “Revised Allocation”). Seller, Parent and Buyer agree that they will not take, or cause or permit to be taken, any position on any Tax Return that would be inconsistent with, prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the Revised Allocation, without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent any party or its Affiliates from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Revised Allocation, and no party hereto or its Affiliates shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority challenging such Revised Allocation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing.

Section 2.7 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent and Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the cash otherwise deliverable under this Agreement, and from any other consideration otherwise paid or delivered to any Person in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including in respect of amounts, if any, allocable to the Non-Compete Agreements, to any Person such amounts that Parent or Buyer is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries and payments under the Code or any provision of federal, state, provincial, local, or non-U.S. Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent or Buyer, Parent or Buyer shall disburse such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority and such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.8 Acquisition by Buyer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties acknowledge that Parent and Buyer intend that (a) Parent or Buyer, as applicable, will acquire the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities directly or (b) Parent and/or Buyer may assign its rights hereunder prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 9.8 to one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Parent or Buyer, whether existing on the date hereof or formed prior to the Closing, and to cause such Subsidiaries to acquire, alone or together with Parent and/or Buyer, the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities; provided, that in the event of any assignment under this clause (b), Parent agrees that it shall be responsible for the performance of Buyer’s obligations, and shall not be released from any of its obligations, under this Agreement following such assignment.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries to: (i) agree to or to effect any divestiture or hold-separate order, or enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, or agree to restrict its ownership or operation of, any business or Assets of any Interfast Entity or of Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries; (ii) enter into, amend, or agree to enter into or amend, any Contracts of any Interfast Entity or of Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries; (iii) otherwise waive, abandon or alter any material rights or obligations of any Interfast Entity or of Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries; (iv) file or defend any lawsuit, appeal any judgment or contest any temporary, preliminary or permanent order or

Section 6.2 No Solicitation. From the date hereof through the earlier to occur of (a) the Closing or (b) the termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not, and shall cause its shareholders, Representatives and Affiliates, not to, directly or indirectly, enter into, solicit, initiate or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any other way with, any Person, other than Parent, Buyer and their respective Affiliates and Representatives, concerning any sale of all or a portion of the Purchased Assets (or the Assets of any Interfast Entity) or the Business, or of any shares in the capital or other Equity Interests of any Interfast Entity, or any merger, consolidation, amalgamation, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving any Interfast Entity (each such transaction being referred to herein as a “Proposed Acquisition Transaction”). Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, through any shareholder, Representative or Affiliate or otherwise, solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person or entity relating to any Proposed Acquisition Transaction or participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information with respect to any Interfast Entity for the purposes of, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to seek or effect a Proposed Acquisition Transaction.

Seller shall notify Parent promptly (orally and in writing) if any such written offer, or any inquiry or contact with any Person with respect thereto, is made and shall provide Parent with a copy of such offer. Seller agrees not to release, or permit to be released, any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which any Interfast Entity is a party.

Section 6.3 Notification of Certain Matters. From the date hereof through the Closing, Seller shall give prompt notice to Parent of (a) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure would be likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any exhibit or schedule hereto to be untrue or inaccurate in any respect and (b) any failure of Seller or any of its shareholders, Representatives or Affiliates to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement or any exhibit or schedule hereto; provided, however, that such disclosure shall not be deemed to cure any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or to satisfy any condition. Seller shall promptly notify Parent of any Default, the threat or commencement of any Action, or any development that occurs before the Closing that could in any way materially affect any Interfast Entity, the Purchased Assets (or the Assets of any Interfast Entity) or the Business.

Section 6.4 Conduct of Business. From the date hereof through the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, except as contemplated by this Agreement (including actions contemplated to be taken pursuant to Section 6.5 and Section 8.2(m)) or as consented to by Parent in writing, operate the Business in the ordinary course of

business consistent with past practice and will not take any action inconsistent with this Agreement or with the consummation of the Closing.

Section 6.5 Discussions with AVIC Zhuhai. During the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to meet and discuss with AVIC Zhuhai (to the extent it makes its representatives reasonably available) and evaluate a potential business relationship between Parent or its Affiliates and AVIC Zhuhai that would be intended to replace the current business relationship between Interfast Asia and AVIC Zhuhai. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.5 shall be deemed to be a binding obligation of Parent or any of its Affiliates to enter into a business relationship with AVIC Zhuhai and any business arrangement between them shall be on terms and subject to a definitive agreement mutually acceptable to Parent and AVIC Zhuhai in their sole discretion. Following the Closing, the commitment set forth in this Section 6.5 shall have no effect on any of the parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement (including Article 8).

Section 6.6 Tax Matters.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties, from and against any and all Losses, whether or not involving any third party claims, arising out of or in connection with any: (i) Taxes payable by or with respect to any Acquired Entity with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) any Excluded Taxes; (iii) breach of any representation or warranty in Section 4.21; (iv) breach of any covenant contained in Section 6.4(t) or this Section 6.6; and (v) any Transfer Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 6.6(e); provided, that the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification for Taxes to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Taxes are set forth as a current Liability (other than a current Liability for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) on the Final Closing Balance Sheet and have been taken into account in the calculation of the Final Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) references to “Losses” in this Section 6.6(a) shall be deemed to include amounts that would have constituted “Losses” but for the set-off or other utilization of any loss, deduction or credit realized in or attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period and (y) Seller’s indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 6.6(a) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2(e).

(b) Tax Returns. Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Acquired Entities, the Business and the Purchased Assets for all taxable periods that end on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practices of the Acquired Entities and the Business. If any Pre-Closing Tax Return (i) relates to income (or similar) Taxes of any Acquired Entity or (ii) could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on or increase the Tax Liability of Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates (including the Acquired Entities) in a Post-Closing Tax Period, Seller shall cause each such Pre-Closing Tax Return to be delivered to Parent for its review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions of time to file). Seller shall make such revisions to such Tax Returns as may be reasonably requested by Parent. Parent shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns required to be filed

by or with respect to the Acquired Entities, the Business and the Purchased Assets for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Straddle Period Tax Returns”). Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, such Straddle Period Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practices of the Acquired Entities and the Business. Parent shall cause each Straddle Period Tax Return that relates to income (or similar) Taxes of any Acquired Entity to be delivered to Seller for their review and comment at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for such Tax Return (taking into account any applicable extensions of time to file). Parent shall make such revisions to such Straddle Period Tax Returns as may be reasonably requested by Seller to the extent such revisions relate to Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined pursuant to Section 6.6(c)). No later than five (5) days prior to the due date for filing any Straddle Period Tax Return, Seller shall pay to Parent the amount of Taxes payable with respect to such Straddle Period Tax Return for which Seller has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 6.6(a). Seller shall be entitled to all Tax refunds received by the Acquired Entities (net of any costs associated therewith) with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, except to the extent such refund arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other tax benefit from a period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date.

(c) Calculation of Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Taxes allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall, (i) in the case of any property or ad valorem Taxes applicable to the Purchased Assets or the Assets of the Acquired Entities as of the Closing Date, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (ii) in the case of any other Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date.

(d) Cooperation. The parties hereto shall cooperate fully, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and the conduct of any Tax audits, examinations, assessments, or other administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Acquired Entities, the Business, the Purchased Assets or the Revised Allocation. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, providing applicable powers of attorney for Taxes, retaining and (upon the other party’s request) providing records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other parties with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy the same.

(e) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, land transfer, documentary, registration charges, recording, gross receipt, sales, provincial sales, use, consumption, goods and services, harmonized sales, Quebec sales, value-added, turnover, excise, stamp, customs duties, countervail, anti-dumping and special import measures, import and export Taxes, and other similar Taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement and imposed on Parent or Buyer under applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any direct or indirect capital gain Taxes and withholding Taxes, in each case, imposed on Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) shall be borne by Parent and Buyer. All other Transfer Taxes, if any, shall be borne by Seller. The parties shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and each party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation in accordance with applicable Law.

(f) Tax Contests. Parent shall promptly notify Seller in writing upon receipt by Parent, Buyer or any of their Affiliates of a written notice of any pending or threatened audit, examination, assessment, or other administrative or judicial proceedings relating to Taxes for which Seller may have Liability pursuant to this Agreement (“Tax Contest”); provided, however, no failure or delay by Parent to provide notice of a Tax Contest shall reduce or otherwise affect Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Agreement except to the extent Seller is actually prejudiced thereby. With respect to any Tax Contest that relates solely to a taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Contest if Seller provides Parent with written notice of their election to control such Tax Contest within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice thereof (or such earlier date, if the failure to assume the defense on such earlier date would materially impair the ability of Parent to defend such Tax Contest); provided, that (i) Seller shall keep Parent fully informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of any such Tax Contest and shall promptly respond to any reasonable inquiry by Parent with respect thereto, (ii) Parent shall be entitled to participate (at its own expense) in any such Tax Contest and (iii) Seller shall not compromise or settle any such Tax Contest without obtaining Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Seller does not elect to control a Tax Contest that relates solely to a taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to control such Tax Contest at Seller’s expense. With respect to any Tax Contest that does not relate solely to a taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date, Parent shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Contest; provided, that (i) Parent shall keep Seller’s fully informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of such Tax Contest and shall promptly respond to any reasonable inquiry by Seller with respect thereto, (ii) Seller shall be entitled (at Seller’s expense) to participate in such Tax Contest and (iii) Parent shall not compromise or settle any issues in such Tax Contest that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of any conflict between this Section 6.6(f) and Section 8.2(d), this Section 6.6(f) shall control.

(g) Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All amounts paid with respect to indemnity claims under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties hereto for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Cash Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law.

(h) Tax Elections.

(i) At the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall jointly execute elections under section 167(1) of the ETA and section 75 of the QSTA, in the forms prescribed for such purposes, such that the sale of the Purchased Assets hereunder will take place

without payment of any goods and services tax, harmonized sales tax and Quebec sales tax. The Buyer will file the elections with the appropriate Governmental Authorities within the time permitted under the ETA and QSTA. Notwithstanding Section 4.14(c), Parent and Buyer jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for Taxes, penalties, interest and costs assessed or reassessed by a Governmental Authority on the basis that the election or elections were invalid; provided that any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.6(h)(i) shall be subject to Section 8.2(d).

(ii) Seller and Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to minimize (or eliminate) any other Transfer Taxes payable in respect of the Closing by, among other things, making such other elections and taking such other steps as may reasonably be requested by Parent in connection with the Closing.

(iii) Seller and Buyer agree to elect jointly in the prescribed form under Section 22 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and to make the required notification under Section 184 of the Taxation Act (Quebec) and any equivalent provision under applicable provincial tax legislation as to the sale of the Accounts Receivable and to designate in such election an amount equal to the portion of the Allocated Purchase Price allocated to accounts receivable pursuant to Section 2.7.

(iv) To the extent that such an election is available, Seller and Buyer agree to jointly elect under subsection 20(24) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) in the manner required by subsection 20(25) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and under any equivalent provision of any applicable provincial tax legislation, in respect of amounts allocated, if any, for future obligations of Seller that are assumed by Buyer hereunder.

(v) Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of the elections referred to in this Subsection promptly following the filing of such elections with the appropriate Governmental Authorities.

Section 6.7 Employee and Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Parent or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall extend: (i) offers of employment to all employees of Seller (other than to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx who will become engaged as a consultant to Parent or one of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Consulting Agreement), including the part-time employees of Seller (collectively, the “Active Employees”), which offers of employment shall provide for terms and conditions of employment that are no less favorable in the aggregate than such employees’ terms and conditions of employment as in effect as of the Closing Date; and (ii) offers of engagement as a consultant to all consultants of Seller listed on Section 6.7(a) of the Disclosure Schedule. Those Active Employees who accept such offer of employment are referred to herein as the “Transferred Employees”. The employment of the Transferred Employees with Parent or such Subsidiary shall become effective at 12:01 am local time on the day after the Closing Date; provided, that, for any Transferred Employees whose employment would otherwise automatically transfer by operation of law to Buyer as of the Closing, such employment shall become effective immediately as of the Closing; and, provided further, that unless Parent or such Subsidiary determines otherwise, Seller shall take all action necessary to provide that those employees who are not actively at work with Seller

as of the close of business on the Closing Date shall not become Transferred Employees and shall remain employees of Seller until the applicable employee is ready to return to active employment, as reasonably determined by Parent or such Subsidiary. The parties acknowledge that Parent’s offers of employment to Active Employees shall not be required to provide for a benefit similar to the Phantom Stock Plan (as defined below), or any other equity-based compensation plan, so long as such offers of employment provide for compensation and benefits having economic value that is substantially comparable to the economic value of the compensation and benefits provided to the Active Employees as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (including any value attributable to awards under the Phantom Stock Plan), as reasonably acceptable to Parent and Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, an employee is not “actively at work” if the employee is (i) receiving short-term or long-term disability benefits under any plan or program established or maintained by any Interfast Entity or (ii) on any type of leave other than vacation, leave for jury duty, leave for national service/military duty, or any other statutorily protected leave as may be required by Law. Seller shall cooperate with and use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent and its Subsidiaries in their respective efforts to secure satisfactory employment arrangements with Active Employees. Except as provided in Section 6.7(b), neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall assume any obligation or Liability, and Seller shall remain responsible for, all claims or Liability relating to all Personnel of Seller who are not Transferred Employees or Continuing Employees. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a guarantee of employment for any Active Employee, or to restrict the rights of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate any Transferred Employee. Following the date hereof and prior to Closing, Seller (i) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Parent, Buyer and their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, such payroll transition services as may be requested by Parent or Buyer and shall (and shall cause its employees to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist Parent, Buyer and their respective Subsidiaries to transition employee payroll processes to Parent, Buyer or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, for Transferred Employees in connection with the Closing, and (ii) shall (and shall cause its employees to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist Parent, Buyer and their respective Subsidiaries to establish employee benefit plans and programs that are consistent with the requirements of this Section 6.7(a), including the establishment of “mirror” benefit plans to provide employee benefits to Transferred Employees following the Closing Date. Such cooperation and assistance shall include assistance in negotiating with third party service providers and the provision of such information and documents as Parent or Buyer may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

(b) As of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Acquired Entities to continue, subject to the Continuing Employees’ right to resign, to employ the Continuing Employees on such terms and conditions as may be required by applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a guarantee of employment for any Continuing Employee, or to restrict the rights of Parent, its Subsidiaries or the Acquired Entities to terminate any Continuing Employee after the Closing Date, provided that Seller shall have no Liability or other obligation in either case for notice, severance or accrued vacation payments in connection therewith.

(c) Seller shall be responsible for the employment or termination thereof of all Personnel of Seller who do not become Transferred Employees effective as of the Closing Date and Seller shall be responsible for all Liabilities or obligations related thereto under the Law.

Without limiting the foregoing, Seller agrees that it shall, no later than immediately prior to the Closing, terminate the employment of any Active Employee who has not accepted Parent or one of its Subsidiaries’ offer of employment described in Section 6.7(a) and whose employment would otherwise transfer to Buyer or one of its Subsidiaries by operation of Law. At the Closing, Seller shall provide to Parent a true and complete list of all employees of the Interfast Entities, other than the Transferred Employees and Continuing Employees, who are terminated by any Interfast Entity in connection with the Closing and all employees of the Interfast Entities who were terminated by any Interfast Entity for any reason within the six (6) month period prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Seller shall be solely responsible for the Seller Employment Liabilities, including the Employee Plans and all Liabilities thereunder (other than Liabilities with respect to Acquired Plans that relate solely to post-Closing periods). Seller agrees to promptly pay and satisfy in accordance with past practices or reimburse Parent, its Subsidiaries or the Acquired Entities, as applicable, for all Seller Employment Liabilities, including, without limitation, all vacation pay accrued as of the Closing Date and any other termination-related Liabilities to the Transferred Employees relating to their termination of employment with Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall assume any Liability for any performance or other bonuses for Personnel of Seller or the Acquired Entities for any period on or prior to the Closing Date, and Seller agrees to pay out all such bonuses accrued through the Closing Date in accordance with past practices as if the Closing Date constituted the end of the applicable performance period for such bonuses; provided, that Seller shall pay such bonuses on or prior to the later to occur of (i) September 30, 2012 and (ii) the date that is 60 days following the Closing Date. Without limiting Seller’s obligations hereunder, Seller shall be responsible for all Liabilities for claims incurred under the Employee Plans by Transferred Employees or the Continuing Employees on or prior to the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, the date on which a benefit claim is incurred will be: (i) in the case of a death claim, the date of death; (ii) in the case of a short term disability claim, long term disability claim or a life insurance premium waiver claim, the date of the first incidence of disability, illness, injury or disease that first qualifies an individual for benefits or to commence a qualifying period for benefits; (iii) in the case of extended health care benefits, including, without limitation, dental and medical treatments, the date of treatment or the date of purchase of eligible medical or dental supplies; and (iv) in the case of a claim for drug or vision benefits, the date the prescription was filled.

(e) Seller shall be responsible for all worker’s compensation claims (i) asserted or filed by any employees of Seller and the Acquired Entities on or before the Closing, (ii) asserted or filed by former employees or retired employees of Seller and the Acquired Entities, and (iii) asserted or filed by any employees of Seller and the Acquired Entities after the Closing if the claim arises from pre-Closing events or circumstances regardless of whether the events or circumstances are known or unknown as of the Closing.

(f) Prior to the Closing, if requested by Parent, Interfast USA shall adopt a resolution terminating the Interfast USA 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) effective as of or immediately prior to the Closing Date. In the event that termination of the 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees, then Seller shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges

or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date.

(g) Subject to Section 6.7(a), from and after the Closing, Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall be responsible for the employment or termination thereof of all Personnel of Seller who become Transferred Employees, without any Liability to Seller (other than with respect to Excluded Liabilities), and shall give each Transferred Employee full credit for his or her prior years of service with Seller and with any predecessor employer thereof for the purposes of calculating all amounts due on the termination of the employment of the Transferred Employees and determining the Transferred Employee’s entitlements under any employee benefit plan of Parent or its Subsidiaries in which the Transferred Employees may participate (including vacation accrual rates), in each case to the same extent recognized by Seller or the Acquired Entities, as applicable, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Parent or any of its Subsidiaries have any Liability of any kind under, relating to or in connection with the Interfast Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Long Term Incentive Plan for Designated Employees and Non-Employee Directors or any predecessor plan (the “Phantom Stock Plan”). Such Liabilities shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. Seller shall take all action necessary or advisable to terminate the Phantom Stock Plan, effective as of the Closing Date and to pay out all amounts due thereunder to participants in the Phantom Stock Plan within a reasonable period of time following the Closing Date. Such termination and liquidation of the Phantom Stock Plan shall be conducted in a manner that complies with Treas. Reg. 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B). In addition, Seller shall take all actions necessary or advisable to cause the Phantom Stock Plan to comply in form and operation with the requirements of Code Section 409A prior to the Closing Date. Following the date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Parent an opportunity to review and comment on any corporate resolutions, regulatory filings or written notices that may be adopted, filed or provided to any Governmental Authority or any participant in the Phantom Stock Plan in connection with the foregoing and shall consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by Parent. To the extent paid after the Closing Date, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect to the procedures for paying out amounts due to participants in connection with the termination of the Phantom Stock Plan.

(i) Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall submit to its shareholders, as applicable, for approval (in a manner satisfactory to Parent), by such number of shareholders as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, any payments and/or benefits that may, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, separately or in the aggregate, constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder), such that such payments and benefits shall not be deemed “parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code, and prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent that (i) a shareholder vote was held in conformance with Section 280G and the regulations promulgated thereunder and the requisite shareholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the shareholder vote (the “280G Approval”) or (ii) that the 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided, pursuant to waivers of those payments and/or benefits which were executed by the affected

fashion of all claims made under such insurance policies. Seller and its Subsidiaries shall provide Parent and Buyer with access to such insurance policies to the extent necessary to facilitate Parent’s, Buyer’s and their respective Affiliates’ compliance with their obligations under such insurance policies and to determine coverage for claims that Parent, Buyer and their respective Affiliates might tender to the applicable insurers under such insurance policies.

Section 8.2 Indemnification.

(a) By Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, from and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless Parent, Buyer, their respective Affiliates (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Entities), and their respective shareholders, members, partners, officers, directors, employees and other Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses, whether or not involving any third party claims, arising out of, resulting from, relating to, incurred in connection with or incident to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in Article 4 hereof, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained herein, including under Section 2.5, (iii) any Liability imposed upon Parent or Buyer

by reason of the parties’ non-compliance with, or breach of, any Bulk Sales Laws and the Retail Sales Tax Act (Ontario) in respect of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated under this Agreement, (iv) any violation or (with respect to amounts paid in investigation, defense, settlement, penalties or fines only) alleged violation of any Anti-corruption Laws applicable to any Interfast Entity or any breach or (with respect to amounts paid in investigation, defense, settlement, penalties or fines only) alleged breach of Section 4.31 (disregarding any qualifications as to Knowledge of Seller), directly or indirectly, by, on behalf of or with the knowledge of Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, (v) any Excluded Liabilities and (vi) any Liabilities or express obligations of Seller arising under arrangements made by the parties with respect to Non-Assignable Rights or otherwise pursuant to Section 2.1(b) so long as Parent and Buyer are not in breach of their obligations thereunder. Any claim made by any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall, to the extent funds are available therefor, be paid first from the Escrow Account and thereafter by Seller.

(b) By Parent and Buyer. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, from and after the Closing, Parent and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, shareholders, members, partners, officers, directors, employees and other Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all Losses, whether or not involving any third-party claims, arising out of, resulting from, relating to, incurred in connection with or incident to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Parent and Buyer contained in Article 5 hereof, (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Parent or Buyer contained herein, including under Section 2.5 and/or Section 6.7 hereof, (iii) any Assumed Liabilities, and (iv) any Liabilities or express obligations of Parent or Buyer arising under arrangements made by the parties with respect to Non-Assignable Rights or otherwise pursuant to Section 2.1(b) so long as Seller is not in breach of its obligations thereunder.

(c) Claims Procedure. If a claim for Losses (a “Claim”) is to be made by either a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.2 or Section 6.6(h) (the “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party or parties (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”), promptly after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 8.2 or Section 6.6(h). The Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and including (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto upon which such claim is based (to the extent then known); provided, that a Third Party Notice in respect of any third-party Claim as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after such Indemnified Party has been notified that an Action or investigation has commenced (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the service of the citation or summons); provided, however, that any failure or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(d) Third-Party Claims.

(i) If a claim by a third party is made against an Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Section 8.2 or Section 6.6(h), such Indemnified Party shall promptly send a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party, describing the nature and amount of the third-party claim (if then known) in reasonable detail. The Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8.2(d)(i), be entitled at any time after the Indemnified Party delivers a Claim Notice with respect to a specific third-party claim, (A) to agree to indemnify the Indemnified Party for the costs of defense or (B) so long as (v) the claim involves primarily monetary damages, (w) as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the claim made, if proven, would reasonably cause the Indemnifying Party to satisfy and discharge more than fifty percent (50%) of the claim, (x) it is reasonable to believe that the Indemnifying Party can satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder and (y) the claim does not relate to the Taxes of the Indemnified Party (other than any Claims for which a Seller Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.6(h)), to undertake, conduct and control the settlement or defense of the third-party claim at the Indemnifying Party’s own expense and through counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choosing that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to pursue such course of action, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it and paid for at its own expense; provided, further, that any cooperation by the Indemnified Party shall not require it to incur any material out-of-pocket expenses unless the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such expenses. So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such third-party claim in good faith, or has agreed to pay and is paying the reasonable expenses associated with the defense of such third-party claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if the Indemnifying Party does not (i) notify the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Indemnified Party delivers a Claim Notice with respect to a specific third-party claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to undertake the defense thereof or pay the expenses associated with the defense of such third party claim as provided above, or (ii) notify the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) Business Days after the Indemnified Party delivers a Claim Notice with respect to a specific third-party claim that the Indemnifying Party agrees that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of the claim, but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefore pursuant to this Agreement. The assumption by the Indemnified Party of the defense of a third-party claim pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall not preclude the Indemnifying Party from participating in (but not directing) the defense of the third-party claim with counsel of its own choice and at its own expense. In addition, if the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense of a third-party claim as provided herein, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of the claim from the Indemnified Party at any time prior to settlement, provided that the Indemnifying Party agrees that it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such claim and otherwise satisfies the requirements of the second sentence of Section 8.2(d)(i). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of a claim as permitted in Section 8.2(d), the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim shall terminate if the

Indemnified Party settles such claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel for the Indemnified Party (not to exceed one law firm plus, if applicable, local counsel for any Action or related Actions) if representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, constitute a conflict of interest on a material issue between Indemnifying Party’s position and the Indemnified Party’s position.

(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not enter into any settlement of any third-party claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except for a settlement that includes as an unconditional term thereof that the Person(s) asserting the third-party claim give to all Indemnified Parties an unconditional release from all damages and Liabilities with respect to such claim and provided that such settlement does not result in an Encumbrance on the Assets of any Indemnified Party or result in any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect any Indemnified Party or the conduct of the Business (other than the execution and delivery by the Indemnified Party of a customary release that does not acknowledge Liability or fault).

(e) Limitations on Seller Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 6.6(a), (i) no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) for any Losses unless and until the amount of all Losses for which all Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) exceeds $925,000 (the “Seller Threshold Amount”), at which time Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for such Losses sustained by such Buyer Indemnified Parties that exceed the Seller Threshold Amount; (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses sustained by the Buyer Indemnified Parties be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) exceed $20,000,000 (the “Seller Indemnification Cap”); and (iii) Seller shall not be liable under this Article 8 for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential (in each case, to the extent not reasonably foreseeable), punitive or aggravated damages or damages for lost profits on the investment represented by the transactions contemplated hereby or lost prospective business opportunities. Notwithstanding this Section 8.2(e), the Seller Threshold Amount and the Seller Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any Losses arising out of, resulting from, relating to, incurred in connection with or incident to any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 (Organization and Qualification), 4.2 (Authorization), 4.3(a) and 4.3(b) (No Conflict), 4.14(a) (Title to Purchased Assets), 4.15 (Questionable Payments), 4.21 (Tax Matters), 4.27 (Brokers), 4.31 (Anti-Corruption Matters) or any claim involving Fraud.

(f) Limitations on Buyer Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) for any Losses unless and until the amount of all Losses for which all Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) exceeds $925,000 (the “Buyer Threshold Amount”), at which time the Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for such Losses sustained by such Seller Indemnified Parties that exceed the Buyer Threshold Amount, (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which the

Seller Indemnified Parties be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) exceed $20,000,000 (the “Buyer Indemnification Cap”); and (iii) neither Parent nor Buyer shall be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential (in each case, to the extent not reasonably foreseeable), punitive or aggravated damages, including damages for lost profits (except as may result in a diminution of value) and lost business opportunities. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Buyer Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any Losses arising out of, resulting from, relating to, incurred in connection with or incident to any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1 (Incorporation and Authority), 5.2 (No Conflict), 5.5 (Brokers) or any claim involving Fraud.

(g) Materiality Disregarded. For purposes of calculating Losses under this Article 8, the representations and warranties in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to materiality and, accordingly, all references in this Agreement to “material,” “in all material respects,” “Material Adverse Effect” and similar qualifications as to materiality shall be deemed to be deleted therefrom (except where any such provision requires disclosure of lists of items of a material nature or above a specified threshold).

(h) Effect of Investigation. An Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification or other remedies based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Indemnifying Party will not be affected by any investigation or knowledge of the Indemnified Party or any waiver by the Indemnified Party of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or compliance with any covenant or agreement. Such representations and warranties and covenants and agreements shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party knew or should have known that any representation or warranty might be inaccurate or that the Indemnifying Party failed to comply with any agreement or covenant. Any investigation by an Indemnified Party shall be for its own protection only and shall not affect or impair any right or remedy hereunder.

(i) Reductions; Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any and all Losses under this Agreement shall be determined net of (A) any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party by way of reduction in the amount of Taxes payable by such Indemnified Party with respect to the taxable year in which such Losses are sustained, which reduction is directly attributable to sustaining such Losses and (B) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under or pursuant to any: (i) insurance coverage; (ii) manufacturer warranty; or (iii) any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, in each case, net of any costs, expenses (including Taxes) or premiums incurred in connection therewith. If the amount of any Claim incurred by a party at any time subsequent to the making of an indemnity payment is reduced by any such Tax benefits, insurance proceeds, manufacturer warranty or other such amounts, the amount of such reduction, shall promptly be repaid by that party to the other party. Upon making a full indemnity payment, a party shall, to the extent of such indemnity payment, be subrogated to all rights of the other party against any third party in respect of the Claim to which the indemnity payment relates.

(j) Exclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the remedies set forth in this Section 8.2, in the absence of Fraud, wilful misconduct or intentional breach, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims asserted

following Closing relating, directly or indirectly, to the subject matter of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the parties waive, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, remedies and claims that one party may have against the other, whether at law, under any statute or in equity (including but not limited to claims for contribution or other rights of recovery arising under any Laws, claims for breach of contract, breach of representation and warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all claims for breach of duty), or otherwise, directly or indirectly, relating to the provisions of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than as expressly provided for in this Article 8 and other than those arising with respect to any Fraud, wilful misconduct or intentional breach.

(k) One Recovery. A party shall not be entitled to double recovery for any claims even though they may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants made by the other party in this Agreement.

(l) Duty to Mitigate. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at law of a party to mitigate any loss which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by the other party of any representation, warranty or covenant of that other party under this Agreement. If any claim can be reduced by any recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, manufacturer warranty, or any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, a party shall take all appropriate steps to enforce such recovery, settlement or payment. If the Indemnified Party fails to make all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any loss then the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for the loss that could have been avoided if the Indemnified Party had made such efforts.

(m) Wind-Up of the JV Entity. The parties acknowledge that the Excluded JV Assets are excluded from the purchase and sale transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties further acknowledge that: (a) Seller and Interfast Asia intend, following the execution of this Agreement, to take all necessary action, in their sole and absolute discretion, to terminate the JV Agreement and to dissolve and wind-up Interfast Asia; and (b) Seller’s decision to terminate the JV Agreement and to dissolve and wind-up Interfast Asia has been made by Seller without any influence, inducement, incentive or encouragement from or by Parent, Buyers or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives. Parent and Buyer acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including the indemnification rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Articles 6 and 8, none of Seller, the Excluded Entities or their direct or indirect shareholders or their respective directors, officers, employees or other Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Group”) shall be liable or responsible in any way, including under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, at law or in equity, to Parent, Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party for any loss of profits, prospects or reputation (collectively, “Business Losses”) arising directly or indirectly from: (i) the inability of Interfast Asia and Seller to perform their respective obligations under the JV Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement to the extent resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) the termination of the JV Agreement; (iii) the dissolution and wind-up of Interfast Asia; and/or (iv) any actions taken in good faith by the Seller Group in furtherance any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect any of the Liabilities, responsibilities or obligations of any member of the Seller Group under this Agreement,

including the indemnification rights of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Article 6 or this Article 8, with respect to any Liabilities (as contrasted with Business Losses), other than Permitted Losses. For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Losses” shall mean Losses, not to exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate, of the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of, resulting from, relating to, or incurred in connection with or incident to investigating, defending, responding to or settling, any Action brought against any Buyer Indemnified Parties by AVIC Zhuhai or any of its Affiliates as a result of any actions taken by any member of the Seller Group or its Affiliates as described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 8.2(m), other than Actions alleging interference with contractual relations, inducement of breach of contract, aiding and abetting, unlawful interference, interference with prospective advantage or opportunity, infringement upon creditor’s rights or property interests, or any claim of a type similar to any of the foregoing, whether or not based on a legal theory cognizable under the Laws of the Province of Ontario.

On and after the date of the execution of this Agreement, (a) Parent and Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller (and any of Seller’s Affiliates), on the other hand, shall, to the extent practicable, consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include communications between Parent, Buyer and any of their respective Affiliates and Representatives) and (b) no party nor any Affiliate of any party hereto shall, without obtaining prior written approval of Parent (in the case of Seller and its Affiliates) and Seller (in the case of Parent, Buyer and their Affiliates), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) issue any press release or make any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) make any announcement or other disclosure of any kind at any time, whether before or after the Closing, with respect to the financial terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent disclosure may be required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, Parent, Buyer and their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall be permitted (other than with respect to the initial press release regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) to publicly disclose, including through press releases, public filings and other means as any such Person deems appropriate, information about this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby for purposes of compliance with Law, stock exchange compliance and investor relation purposes.

Section 9.5 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the essential economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements, the Disclosure Schedule and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

Section 9.8 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by contract, operation of Law or otherwise without the consent of Parent and Seller; provided, however, that without the consent of Seller, Parent or Buyer (or any permitted assignee of Parent or Buyer) may, by providing written notice to Seller, assign this Agreement and Parent’s or Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to (a) one or more Affiliates of Parent or Buyer (provided that (x) in the case of an assignment of the right to purchase (i) all or substantially all of the Purchased Assets, in each case, excluding the Purchased Shares, to one such Affiliate of Parent or Buyer, such Affiliate shall be registered for the purposes of the Taxes imposed under the ETA and under Division I of Chapter VIII of Title I of QSTA prior to the Closing to permit the elections under Section 6.6(h)(i) to be made, and with respect to the balance of the Purchased Assets purchased by Buyer, Parent or another Affiliate in such case, if any, such Buyer, Parent or Affiliate will pay the Taxes imposed under the ETA and under Division I of Chapter VIII of Title I of QSTA to Seller who shall timely report and remit such Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or (ii) less than substantially all of the Purchased Assets, excluding the Purchased Shares, to one or more Affiliates, such Affiliates, Parent or Buyer, purchasing less than substantially all of the Purchased Assets, will pay the Taxes imposed under the ETA and under Division I of Chapter VIII of Title I of QSTA to Seller who shall timely report and remit such Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (y) if there is an assignment of the right to purchase less than all of the Purchased Assets, excluding the Purchased Shares, the Seller shall in its reasonable judgment determine if such Purchased Assets constitute substantially all of the Purchased Assets, excluding the Purchased Shares, for purposes of the elections under Section 6.6(h)(i)), (b) any lender providing financing to Parent or Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby under Parent’s or Buyer’s credit facilities (and any refinancings, extensions or renewals thereof) as collateral security therefore, and (c) any Person who acquires all or substantially all of the Assets of Parent and Buyer following the Closing (whether by merger, recapitalization, sale of stock or otherwise).

Section 9.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein (including the rights of Buyer Indemnified Parties and Seller Indemnified Parties under Article 8), this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified, and the terms and conditions hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power or privilege hereunder, nor any single or partial exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

Section 9.11 Specific Performance. Seller agrees that Parent and Buyer would be irreparably and immediately injured and could not be made whole by monetary damages if this Agreement is not specifically enforced after Default. Therefore, Parent and Buyer shall have the right to specifically enforce Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and Seller agrees to waive defense in any such suit that Parent or Buyer has an adequate remedy at law and to interpose no opposition, legal or otherwise, as to the propriety of specific performance as a remedy, and that Parent and Buyer shall have the right to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement without being required to prove actual damages, post bond or furnish other security. In addition, Parent and Buyer shall be entitled to obtain from Seller court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Parent and Buyer in enforcing their rights hereunder. As a condition to seeking specific performance, neither Parent nor Buyer shall be required to have tendered the Cash Purchase Price.

Section 9.12 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
