PURCHASE AND SALE

2.1 Purchase and Sale. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (i) Parent agrees to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer 2 at the Closing, the QSSI Shares, free and clear of any Liens, (ii) Parent agrees to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer 1 at the Closing, the Wavemaker Shares, free and clear of any Liens, and (iii) GmbH agrees to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer 1 at the Closing the QSSC Shares, free and clear of any Liens. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, (a) Buyer 2 agrees to purchase from Parent at the Closing, the QSSI Shares, free and clear of any Liens, (b) Buyer 1 agrees to purchase from Parent at the Closing, the Wavemaker Shares, free and clear of any Liens, and (c) Buyer 1 agrees to purchase from GmbH at the Closing, the QSSC Shares, free and clear of any Liens.

2.2 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Shares payable by the Buyers to the Sellers for the Shares shall be equal to $200,000,000 (two hundred million United States Dollars) subject to the adjustment provided for in Section 2.4 (the “Purchase Price”) and shall be allocated among the Sellers in the percentages set forth in Schedule 2.2 of the Disclosure Letter. Any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be allocated to the Seller selling the Shares of the Company to which such adjustment relates.

2.3 Payment at the Closing. At the Closing, the Buyers shall pay to the Sellers the Purchase Price by wire transfer in accordance with Schedule 2.2 of the Disclosure Letter. No amount shall be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 116 of the Tax Act from the Purchase Price or any other amounts payable by Buyers under this Agreement.

2.4 Payment of Adjustment Amount.

(a) As soon as practicable following the Closing Date, and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the Closing Date, the Buyers shall cause to be prepared and deliver to the Sellers the Closing Date Financial Statements with a

- 17 -

calculation of the Adjustment Amount, which Closing Date Financial Statements shall be accompanied by working papers and other supporting documentation, to be supplemented as necessary by such additional documentation as the Sellers may reasonably request following delivery of the Closing Date Financial Statements. The Sellers shall have fifteen (15) Business Days (the “Review Period”) following receipt of the Closing Date Financial Statements in which to review the Closing Date Financial Statements, and the Buyers shall provide Parent and its independent accountants reasonable access during normal business hours to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Business and the QNX Entities for such purpose. The Buyers agree that, following the Closing Time through the date that the Closing Date Working Capital Amount and the Adjustment Amount become final and binding, they will not take any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Closing Date Financial Statements or the Estimated Working Capital Amount are based that would impact the determination of the Closing Date Working Capital Amount or the Adjustment Amount or the preparation of calculations included in the WC Objection Notice. If at any time during the Review Period, the Sellers determine that they have any objection to the Closing Date Financial Statements or any aspect of the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital Amount, the Sellers may send a written notice (the “WC Objection Notice”) explaining in reasonable detail such objection(s); provided, that the WC Objection Notice shall be delivered to the Buyers no later than five (5) Business Days following the last day of the Review Period. The Buyers and the Sellers shall endeavour, in good faith, to resolve the matters described in the WC Objection Notice. If the Buyers and the Sellers are unable to resolve any of the matters described in the WC Objection Notice and agree in writing to that resolution within twenty (20) days after the Sellers’ receipt thereof, the Buyers and the Sellers shall promptly submit those items then remaining unresolved to PricewaterhouseCoopers, or if they refuse or are unable to act, a nationally recognized United States accounting firm which shall be independent of the Buyers and the Sellers and their respective Affiliates (“Independent”) and reasonably acceptable to the Sellers and the Buyers. If the Buyers and the Sellers cannot agree to the selection of such an accounting firm within a further period of five (5) days, an accounting firm that is Independent shall be selected by two nationally recognized United States accounting firms, one of which shall be nominated by the Buyers and the other of which shall be nominated by the Sellers. The accounting firm so determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Independent Auditor”. The Independent Auditor shall determine the Closing Date Working Capital Amount and the Adjustment Amount. With respect to each disputed line item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Buyers or the Sellers, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower, of the amounts advocated by the Sellers in the WC Objection Notice or by the Buyers in the Closing Date Financial Statements with respect to such disputed line item. During the review by the Independent Auditor, the Buyers and the Sellers and their accountants will each make available to the Independent Auditor interviews with such individuals, and such information,

- 18 -

books and records and work papers, as may be reasonably required by the Independent Auditor to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.4; provided, however, that the accountants of the Sellers or the Buyers shall not be obliged to make any work papers available to the Independent Auditor except in accordance with such accountants’ normal disclosure procedures and then only after such firm has signed a customary agreement relating to such access to work papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountant. The Sellers on the one hand, and the Buyers on the other hand, shall each bear one-half of the fees, costs and expenses of the Independent Auditor; provided, however, that if the Independent Auditor determines that one party to the dispute is the prevailing party, then the non-prevailing party shall alone be responsible for the fees, costs and expenses of dispute resolution incurred by all parties.

(b) If the Closing Date Working Capital Amount is greater than the Estimated Working Capital Amount, the Buyers shall promptly pay the Sellers the Adjustment Amount by wire transfer to the account of the Sellers as the Sellers shall notify the Buyers in writing, together with interest at the Prime Rate from the Closing Date until the date of payment.

(c) If the Closing Date Working Capital Amount is less than the Estimated Working Capital Amount, the Sellers shall promptly pay to the Buyers the Adjustment Amount by wire transfer to the account of the Buyers as the Buyers shall notify the Sellers in writing, together with interest at the Prime Rate from the Closing Date until the date of payment.

(d) The Buyers and the Sellers will execute, if requested by the Independent Auditor, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities. The Independent Auditor shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the provisions of this Section 2.4 and the representations by the Buyers and the Sellers, only on those issues still in dispute and only as to whether such amounts were arrived at in conformity with this Agreement. The Independent Auditor’s determination shall be made within thirty (30) days of its selection, or such other period as mutually agreed to by the Buyers and the Sellers, and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Buyers and the Sellers. The information and the occurrence of the proceedings under this Section 2.4 shall be treated as confidential information. The Independent Auditor shall be bound by a mutually agreeable confidentiality agreement. The procedures of this Section 2.4 are exclusive and, except as set forth below, the determination of the Independent Auditor shall be final and binding on the parties hereto absent an error in calculation, which the parties shall draw to the attention of the Independent Auditor for correction. The decision rendered pursuant to this Section 2.4 may be filed as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either the Buyers or the Sellers may seek specific enforcement or take other necessary legal action to enforce any decision under this Section 2.4. The other party’s only defense to such a request for specific enforcement or other legal action shall be fraud by or on the part of the Independent Auditor. Absent such fraud, such other party shall reimburse the party seeking enforcement for its expenses related to such enforcement.

- 19 -

(e) The determination and adjustment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the provisions of this Article II shall not limit or affect any other rights or causes of action the Buyers or Sellers may have with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in their favor contained in this Agreement.

2.5 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing (the “Closing”) of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time), on the second Business Day after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions to be satisfied or waived by action taken at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), at the offices of the Buyers’ counsel in Toronto, Ontario or at such other time or place as the Buyers and the Sellers may agree in writing. At the Closing:

(a) Parent shall deliver to Buyer 2 all certificates representing the QSSI Shares duly endorsed for transfer to Buyer 2;

(b) Parent shall deliver to Buyer 1 all certificates representing the Wavemaker Shares duly endorsed for transfer to Buyer 1;

(c) GmbH shall deliver to Buyer 1 all certificates representing the QSSC Shares duly endorsed for transfer to Buyer 1;

(d) each of the Buyers and the Sellers shall deliver the Transaction Documents to which such Buyer or Seller is a party and all other documents required to be delivered by such Buyer or Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(e) the Buyers shall pay the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2.2; and

(f) each of the Sellers, the Buyers and QNX Entities shall execute and deliver any other instruments, documents and certificates that are required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.13 shall by itself be construed as requiring the Buyers and their Affiliates to continue any specific Benefit Arrangement or as preventing the Buyer and its Affiliates from terminating (or modifying the terms of) the employment of any specific Employee. Nothing contained in this Section 5.13 shall constitute an amendment to any Benefit Arrangement or other employee benefit plan, create any third party beneficiary rights or be enforceable by any employee of Sellers or Buyers or their respective Affiliates.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.15(a), after the Closing Date but subject to the terms and conditions of such policies, and to the extent such coverage is available, Parent will continue to provide the QNX Entities with access to occurrence-based policies of Parent that provide or include coverage for the QNX Entities with respect to acts or events that occurred prior to the Closing Date and shall reasonably cooperate with the QNX Entities and take commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary to assist the QNX Entities in submitting claims with respect to acts or events that occurred prior to the Closing Date to which such policies are responsive; provided that the QNX Entities shall be responsible for (and shall indemnify Parent for any Loss it or its Affiliates incurs in respect of) any deductibles, co-payments, self-insured retentions, catastrophic coverage charges, administrative costs, taxes, surcharges, state assessments and other costs relating to such claims and Parent shall not be required to maintain such policies beyond their current terms.

(c) As may be necessary to enable the QNX Entities to exercise their rights under Section 5.15(b), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the QNX Entities: (i) applicable rights in respect of Parent’s occurrence-based policies as permitted under Applicable Law, (ii) information in its possession regarding any such claim under any applicable insurance policy or reasonably requested by the applicable insurer, and (iii) further assistance in connection with prosecution of claims reasonably requested by the QNX Entities. The QNX Entities shall provide Parent and its Affiliates prompt written notice of any claims that the QNX Entities desire to submit pursuant to Section 5.15(b) and shall provide to Parent and its subsidiaries all information as may be required by the applicable insurance policy or reasonably required by the applicable insurer in connection with such claim. Parent shall retain exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any liabilities or claims the QNX Entities have made or could make in the future; provided that in the event that Parent takes any such action it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such

- 60 -

action does not adversely impact in a material respect the rights of the QNX Entities under this Section 5.15. The QNX Entities shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of Parent’s or its Affiliates’ insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. The QNX Entities shall cooperate with Parent and share such information as is reasonably necessary to permit Parent to manage and conduct its insurance matters.

Such run-off/tail coverage shall provide coverage for claims made or reported for a period of six years after the Closing Date.

(e) For the period between the date hereof and the Closing, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in place and shall cause the QNX Entities to use their commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in place, in each case, in all material respects, all insurance coverage in place as at the date hereof the QNX Entities, their properties and assets.

5.16 Guaranty.

(a) The Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the “Guaranty”) in favour of the Sellers (the “Guaranteed Parties”) the full and punctual performance by the Buyers of each and every covenant and agreement of each of the Buyers pursuant to this Agreement and pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents to which such Buyer is a party, including the payment of the Purchase Price and other amounts under Article II and any payments for indemnification under Article IX (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Upon the failure of any Buyer to pay any amounts due by it under Article II or Article IX when and as the same shall become due, Guarantor hereby promises to pay, and shall upon receipt of written demand by Sellers forthwith pay, to Sellers such amounts in lawful money of the United States. Sellers shall only deliver such written demand to the Guarantor, and any such written demand shall only be effective, upon failure or refusal by any Buyer punctually to pay or perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Guaranty is a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.

- 61 -

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Parties. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of the incurrence of any Guaranteed Obligations and all other notices of any kind (except for notices to be provided to the Buyers and the Guarantor in accordance with Section 10.1), all defenses which may be available by virtue of any stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of the Buyers or any other person interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

TAX MATTERS

6.1 Election under Section 56.4 of the Tax Act. The Sellers and Buyer 1 agree to elect in prescribed form, or to the extent no such form has been prescribed, in any form required by the applicable Tax Authority, to apply proposed paragraphs 56.4(3)(c) and 56.4(7)(h) of the Tax Act (and any corresponding provincial elections that may be applicable) in respect of this Agreement. Each of the Sellers and Buyer 1 shall make such election in a timely manner consistent with this Agreement. Buyer 1 and the Sellers agree, including for purposes of the elections referred to herein, that no portion of the Purchase Price for the QSSC Shares and the Wavemaker Shares is allocated to the covenants of the Sellers in the Mutual Non-Solicitation Agreement referred to herein.

6.2 Liability for Taxes.

(a) Parent shall be responsible for, pay or cause to be paid, indemnify the Buyers and each of their subsidiaries and Affiliates (including the QNX Entities after the Closing Date) (each a “Buyer Tax Indemnitee”), and hold each Buyer Tax Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all Taxes (i) of, or imposed on, the QNX Entities in respect of any Pre-Closing Period; (ii) imposed upon QSSI for any taxable period that ends on or before or includes the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the United States Treasury Regulations or any similar provision of state or local law; (iii) of another person imposed on any of the QNX Entities under any Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement in respect of

- 63 -

any Pre-Closing Period, (iv) imposed on or assessed against Buyer 1 pursuant to subsection 116(5) of the Tax Act (together with any interest and penalties related thereto), in respect of the acquisition by Buyer 1 of the QSSC Shares and the Wavemaker Shares pursuant to this Agreement, or (v) attributable to any breach by Parent or any of its Affiliates of any covenant contained in this Agreement, in each case to the extent any such Taxes are due or payable to any Tax Authority by the Buyer Tax Indemnitees under Applicable Law (collectively, “Parent Taxes”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be responsible for, and Parent Taxes shall not include, any Taxes to the extent that such Taxes are specifically included as a Current Liability on the Closing Date Balance Sheet or the Closing Date Working Capital Statement (or the applicable worksheets thereto) (“WC Taxes”) or result from (x) any breach by the Buyers or any of their Affiliates of any covenant contained in this Agreement; (y) any actions taken by any QNX Entity outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date after the Closing Time; or (z) any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization (collectively, such Taxes referred to in clauses (x), (y) and (z), and any WC Taxes, “Buyer Taxes”, in each case whether or not such Buyer Taxes would have been Parent Taxes but for the proviso contained in this Section 6.2(a)). For the avoidance of doubt, Taxes which Parent shall be responsible for pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall include all Taxes for any Pre-Closing Period of or attributable to any QNX Entity in respect of income reported on or required to be shown in any Combined Tax Return that Parent is responsible for filing pursuant to Section 6.3(a) of this Agreement, other than any Buyer Taxes. Any indemnity payment required to be made by Parent pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) (other than any indemnity payment for Taxes shown on a Specified Section 6.3(b) Return, which shall be dealt with in Section 6.3(b)) shall be made within thirty (30) days of written notice from the Buyers, which notice shall not be delivered to Parent prior to a final determination with respect to the issue to which such indemnity relates.

(b) The Buyers shall be responsible for, pay or cause to be paid, indemnify Parent and its subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than the QNX Entities) (each a “Seller Tax Indemnitee”), and hold each Seller Tax Indemnitee harmless from and against, (i) any Buyer Taxes and (ii) all Taxes of, or imposed on, the QNX Entities (and any Taxes of another person in respect of any Post-Closing Period imposed on any of the QNX Entities under any Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreement) in respect of any Post-Closing Period, except to the extent that such Taxes are the responsibility of Parent under Section 6.2(a), in each case to the extent any such Taxes are due or payable to any Tax Authority by the Seller Tax Indemnitees under Applicable Law. In the case of Taxes shown on a Tax Return, any indemnity payment required to be made by Buyers pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) shall be made no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Tax Return Due Date, provided, however, that with respect to any such indemnity payment for Taxes shown on a Tax Return for which Parent has the filing responsibility under Section 6.3(a), Parent shall deliver to Buyers no later than twenty (20) days prior to the Tax Return Due Date a notice setting forth the amount of such indemnity payment and a description of the basis for such indemnity payment pursuant to

- 64 -

the relevant provisions of this Agreement. In any other case, any indemnity payment requirement to be made by Buyers pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) shall be made within thirty (30) days of written notice from Parent, which notice shall not be delivered to Buyers prior to a final determination with respect to the issue to which such tax indemnity relates.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, in determining the Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Period included in any Straddle Period, (i) Property Taxes shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period and (ii) Taxes (other than Property Taxes) shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the end of the day on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or pass-through entity (including any of the Subsidiaries) in which any of the QNX Entities hold a beneficial interest will be treated as if such taxable period terminated at such time).

6.3 Filing Responsibility.

(a) Parent shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, when due: (i) all Tax Returns for any affiliated group of which Parent is the common parent, (ii) any Tax Return which includes Parent or any other member of the Seller Group, (iii) all Combined Tax Returns, which shall include the QNX Entities to the extent required under Applicable Law or consistent with past practice, and (iv) any other Tax Return of any of the QNX Entities required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date. Parent shall pay all Taxes due in respect of the Tax Returns described in this Section 6.3(a), subject to Parent’s right of indemnification or reimbursement for any such Taxes pursuant to Section 6.3(b).

(b) The Buyers shall, except to the extent that filing such Tax Returns is the responsibility of Parent under Section 6.3(a), prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns with respect to each of the QNX Entities, provided, however, that with respect to any Straddle Period Tax Returns and any other Tax Returns of any of the QNX Entities that includes the Pre-Closing Period and for which Buyers have a filing responsibility pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) (a “Specified Section 6.3(b) Return”): (i) Buyers shall furnish such Tax Returns to Parent for Parent’s review and comment at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return, including extensions (the “Tax Return Due Date”), (ii) Buyer shall not file such Tax Returns without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iii) such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice for the entity to which each such Tax Return relates, unless Buyers deliver to Parent, or Parent delivers to Buyers, as the case may be, no later than the Opinion Due Date an Impermissible Past Practice Opinion, as defined below, provided, however, that, in the case of an Impermissible Past Practice, as defined below, if there is more than one alternative practice permitted

- 65 -

under Applicable Law, Parent shall determine which such alternative practice shall apply to the preparation and filing of such Tax Return. With respect to each Specified Section 6.3(b) Return, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Tax Return Due Date, Parent shall provide to Buyers comments on such Tax Return and Buyers shall incorporate all reasonable comments of Parent (provided that to the extent a past practice exists with respect to the aspect of the preparation and filing of such Tax Return that is subject to Parent’s comments, such comments are consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by an intervening change in Applicable Laws, or unless Parent delivers to Buyers no later than the Opinion Due Date, an Impermissible Past Practice Opinion). With respect to any Specified Section 6.3(b) Return, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Buyers or its Affiliates (including the QNX Entities), as applicable, the amount for which Parent is responsible under Section 6.2(a) no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Tax Return Due Date, provided that Buyers have complied with their obligations under this Section 6.3(b). For purposes of this Section 6.3(b), an Impermissible Past Practice Opinion shall mean an opinion, reasonably acceptable to the party receiving such opinion from the Delivering Party, of a nationally recognized accounting firm at no less than a “should” level standard to the effect that the past practice from which the party delivering such opinion (the “Delivering Party”) seeks to diverge (an “Impermissible Past Practice”) is not permitted under the requirements of Applicable Law. The Opinion Due Date shall mean, if a Buyer is the Delivering Party, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Tax Return Due Date, and if Parent is the Delivering Party, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Tax Return Due Date.

6.4 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. From and after the Closing Date, each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide the other party hereto with such cooperation, documentation and information as either of them reasonably may request in connection with (a) filing any Tax Return or claim for refund, (b) determining a liability for Taxes, an indemnity or payment obligation under this Article VI or a right to a refund of Taxes, (c) conducting any Tax Proceeding (which shall include granting any powers of attorney reasonably requested by the party entitled to control a Tax Proceeding pursuant to Section 6.3(b)) or (d) determining an allocation of Taxes between a Pre-Closing Period and a Post-Closing Period. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with all relevant accompanying schedules and work papers (or portions thereof) and other supporting documentation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall require Parent or any of its Affiliates to provide access to any Tax Returns, information, records or other material of Parent or any of its Affiliates relating to any Combined Tax Returns.

6.5 Contests.

(a) If any Taxing Authority asserts a Tax Claim in respect of any QNX Entity, then the party hereto first receiving notice of such Tax Claim promptly shall provide written notice thereof to the other party or parties hereto. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Taxing Authority.

- 66 -

(b) In the case of a Tax Proceeding involving a QNX Entity in respect of any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date Parent shall have the right to control, at its own expense, such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that with respect to any Tax Proceeding in respect solely of a QNX Entity, which Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Buyers or any of their Affiliates (including the relevant QNX Entity) (i) Parent shall consult with Buyers before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (ii) the Buyers shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding at Buyer’s expense (along with counsel and other advisors of their choice) and (iii) Parent shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of the Buyers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to the extent such settlement or compromise would reasonably be expected to result in an adverse effect on the Buyers that is material, provided that if such consent is withheld by Buyers, control of such Tax Proceeding shall be assumed by Buyers at their own expense and Parent’s liability for any Taxes (including Parent Taxes) resulting from such Tax Proceeding shall not exceed the amount that would have been due under such settlement or compromise (Parent’s liability for Taxes in excess of the amount that would so have been due, “Excess Taxes”) (and, notwithstanding any other provision, Buyer shall indemnify Parent against any such Excess Taxes, to the extent any such Taxes are due or payable to any Tax Authority by Parent or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than any QNX Entity)).

(c) In the case of a Tax Proceeding for a Straddle Period of a QNX Entity, the Buyers shall have the right to control, at their own expense, such Tax Proceeding; provided, however, that (i) the Buyers shall consult with Parent before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Parent shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding (along with counsel and other advisors of its choice), (iii) Buyers shall take all actions in connection with such Tax Proceeding that relate to a Pre-Closing Period no differently than any action in connection with such Tax Proceeding that relates to a Post-Closing Period, and in all cases shall treat any such Tax Proceeding as if any and all liability for Taxes resulting therefrom were the responsibility of Buyers and (iv) the Buyers shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the extent that such settlement or compromise would result in an indemnification payment by Parent for any Parent Taxes or otherwise reasonably be expected to result in an adverse effect on Parent, provided that if such consent is withheld by Parent and Buyers have complied with all their covenants hereunder in relation to such Tax Proceeding, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent’s liability for Taxes pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall include and Parent shall indemnify the Buyers and each of their subsidiaries and Affiliates (including the QNX Entities) and hold them harmless from and against the amount of Taxes resulting from such Tax Proceeding that are in excess of the amount that would have been due under such settlement or compromise.

- 67 -

(d) In the case of a Tax Proceeding involving a QNX Entity (other than any Tax Proceeding described in Sections 6.5(b) or 6.5(c)) Buyers shall have the right to control, at their own expense, such Tax Proceeding, Parent shall not have any right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding and Section 6.5(a) shall not apply to such a Tax Claim; provided, however, that if such Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Parent or any of its Affiliates, and only at such time when it becomes readily apparent that such Tax Proceedings would be expected to have such an effect (the “Contest Relevant Time”), (i) the Buyer shall consult with Parent before taking any significant action in connection with such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Parent shall be entitled to participate in such Tax Proceeding (along with counsel and other advisors of its choice), and (iii) from and after the Contest Relevant Time, the Buyers shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without obtaining the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent that such settlement or compromise would result in an indemnification payment by Parent for any Parent Taxes or otherwise reasonably be expected to result in an adverse effect on Parent that is material.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision, Parent shall have the exclusive right to control in all respects, including as to settlement, any Tax Proceeding relating to any Combined Tax Return, the Buyers shall not have any right to participate in any such Tax Proceeding and Section 6.5(a) shall not apply to such a Tax Claim.

6.6 Tax Sharing Agreements. All liabilities and obligations between Parent or any member of the Seller Group, on the one hand, and the QNX Entities, on the other hand, under any Tax allocation or Tax sharing agreement in effect prior to the Closing Date (other than this Agreement) shall cease and terminate as of the Closing Date.

6.7 Tax Benefits.

(a) If, as a result of any final determination with respect to any Tax Item for a Pre-Closing Period, there is an increase (i) in Taxes of any QNX Entity in respect of which Parent has indemnified a Buyer Tax Indemnitee pursuant to Section 6.2(a), or (ii) in Taxes for which Parent (or with respect to any Taxes paid on or prior to the Closing Date, any QNX Entity) is or was otherwise liable (and, in the case of such Taxes in this clause (ii), which Parent (or any QNX Entity) has paid on or prior to the Closing Date and which are not Buyer Taxes), and, solely as a result of such final determination, any QNX Entity (or Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) actually realizes a Tax Benefit for any Post-Closing Period (it being understood that Buyer agrees to file or cause to be filed (or shall cause the relevant QNX Entity to file or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns (including amended Tax Returns) or other documents, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, claiming (x) any such Tax Benefit, (y) any refund to which Parent is entitled under Section 6.7(b) below or (z) any Tax Benefit to which

- 68 -

Parent is entitled under Section 6.15 (whether as a payment to Parent or as a reduction of an indemnification payment required to be made by Parent)), then Buyers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the amount of such Tax Benefit, provided, however, that any such amount shall not exceed the amount which Parent has paid to the Buyer Tax Indemnitees in respect of such final determination (a “Tax Timing Payment”). Any such Tax Timing Payment shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days of the filing of any Tax Return in which such Tax Benefit is actually realized. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyers shall not be required to make any Tax Timing Payment under this Section 6.7(a) in respect of any Tax Benefit that is realized with respect to any taxable period following the seventh taxable period after the Closing Date.

(b) Parent shall be entitled to any Tax refund (whether paid in cash or by credit of or against Taxes) of, or attributable to, the QNX Entities in respect of any Pre-Closing Period (to the extent that such Tax refund was not specifically included as a Current Asset on the Closing Date Balance Sheet or the Closing Date Working Capital Statement (or the applicable worksheets thereto)), and Buyers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent any such Tax refund, net of any Taxes on the receipt thereof, within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt or entitlement thereto.

6.8 Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Buyers, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall be responsible for and shall pay 50% of all documentary, registration, value added, transfer, stamp and similar Taxes, fees and costs (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) imposed on the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and each shall be entitled to 50% of any refund or reduction in Transfer Taxes relating thereto.

6.9 Taxes Governed by Article VI. Claims for indemnification with respect to Taxes shall be governed by this Article VI but not by any other provision of Article IX.

6.14 Tax Treatment. Buyers agree to treat, and cause their Affiliates to treat, for United States Federal income and applicable state and local Tax purposes, the sale of all of the outstanding shares of QSSC as a sale and purchase of all the assets of QSSC and its Subsidiaries.

The amount of any indemnification payment required to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be (i) reduced by an amount equal to any resulting actual Tax Benefit realized or to be realized by the indemnified party with respect to the taxable year in which the indemnification amount is received (or a prior taxable year), and (ii) increased by any Taxes attributable to the receipt of such payment. If, as a result of the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss or Tax by an indemnified party, the indemnified party actually realizes a Tax Benefit with respect to a taxable year after the taxable year in which the indemnification amount is received, then the indemnified party shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the indemnifying party the amount of such Tax Benefit, provided, however, that any such payment of the amount of a Tax Benefit shall be paid no later than thirty (30) days of the filing of any Tax Return in which such Tax Benefit is actually realized and that any such amount to be paid by the indemnified party shall not exceed the amount which the indemnifying party paid to the indemnified party and provided further, however, that the indemnified party shall not be required to make any payment of the amount of a Tax Benefit in respect of any Tax Benefit that is realized with respect to any taxable period following the seventh taxable period after the Closing Date.

For purposes of determining when such a reduction of (or refund of or credit against) Taxes has actually been realized, such item shall only be considered to have been applied after all other items of loss, deduction or credit and any other items which decrease Taxes paid or payable otherwise available to the person claiming such item, in each case arising in the year with respect to which such reduction of (or refund of or credit against) Taxes would have been realized before taking into account this last sentence of Section 6.16(c) (or any prior year), have been taken into account.

(d) by the Buyers, upon written notice to the Sellers, in the event that (i) any of Sellers’ representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true and correct or (ii) the Sellers shall have breached any of their covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 would not be satisfied and, in each such case of clauses (i) and (ii) such failure or breach shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of (x) thirty (30) Business Days following notice of such failure or breach to the Buyers and (y) the End Date; provided, that no Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if any Buyer is then in material breach of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 by Buyers, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall be terminated and become void and have no effect, except that Sections 5.4 (first sentence only), 10.2, 10.4, 10.9, 10.11, 10.12, and 10.13 and this Section 8.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall relieve any party to this Agreement of liability for willful breach of this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement survive termination of this Agreement for any reason.

- 74 -

At any time prior to the Closing Time, either the Sellers or the Buyers may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of the Sellers, the Buyers and the Guarantor in this Agreement and claims related thereto shall survive the consummation of the transactions and continue as follows:

(a) all representations and warranties in Article III and Article IV shall survive for eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date except as provided in this Section 9.1;

(b) the Tax Representations shall not survive the Closing Date;

(c) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.103 through 3.107, inclusive, shall survive until sixty (60) days after expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations;

(d) the representations and warranties in Sections 3.1, 3.2 (first sentence only), 3.4, 3.5, 3.10 (last sentence only), 3.11 (last sentence only), 3.31, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.7 (first three sentences only) and 4.9 shall not expire; and

(e) all claims for fraud or willful misconduct shall not expire,

(in each case, the “Indemnity Deadline”); provided that if any claims for indemnification have been asserted after the Closing Date prior to the Indemnity Deadline, the representations and warranties or covenants that are the basis for such claim shall continue in effect until final resolution of all such claims.

All covenants to be performed by the Sellers, the Buyers and the Guarantor after the Closing Date shall continue for the period stated therein, or, if no such period is stated, indefinitely; provided, however, that all Claims pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.3 for any breach of covenant to be performed between the date hereof and Closing shall be brought within twelve (12) months of the Closing.

9.2 Indemnification by Sellers. From and after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall, jointly and severally, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyers, the QNX Entities and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors and employees (each party seeking indemnification, a “Buyer Indemnified Person”) from and against:

(a) any Loss of any Buyer Indemnified Person resulting from, or arising out of, any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty on the part of the Sellers contained in this Agreement (without giving effect (other than in the case of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2 (fifth sentence only), 3.16, 3.17(d), 3.22(a), 3.35 through 3.73 (other than Sections 3.38(c), 3.43, 3.47, 3.52, 3.53(a) and 3.64), 3.87, 3.88, 3.107 and 3.111) to any “Material Adverse Effect” or “materiality” qualifications contained in such representations and warranties);

- 75 -

(b) any Loss of any Buyer Indemnified Person resulting from, or arising out of, any breach of any covenant on the part of the Sellers contained in this Agreement; and

(c) any Loss of any Buyer Indemnified Person resulting from or arising out of any derogation of, or limitation, restriction or detrimental impact on, the QNX Entities’ ownership of all rights, title and interest in and to the copyright in the QNX Proprietary Software and in and to all rights to confidential information therein from claims by third Persons (other than the Buyers and their Affiliates), including any Losses from claims by third Persons for (i) copyright infringement or misappropriation of trade secrets by any QNX Entity in relation to, or in connection with or arising out of the QNX Proprietary Software, (ii) misappropriation of confidential information embodied in the QNX Proprietary Software or (iii) any royalty, license or other fee for the QNX Entities’ continued exploitation or use of the QNX Proprietary Software.

For the absence of doubt, the above provisions of this Section 9.2 shall not apply to the Tax Representations or other Tax matters, indemnification by Sellers with respect to Taxes being governed by Article VI.

9.3 Indemnification by Buyers. From and after the Closing Date, the Buyers and the Guarantor shall, jointly and severally, protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless each of the Sellers and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors and employees (each party seeking indemnification, a “Seller Indemnified Person”) from and against:

(a) any Loss of any Seller Indemnified Person resulting from, or arising out of, any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty on the part of the Buyers or the Guarantor contained in this Agreement (without giving effect to any “Material Adverse Effect” or “materiality” qualifications contained in such representations and warranties); and

(b) any Loss of any Seller Indemnified Person resulting from, or arising out of, any breach of any covenant on the part of the Buyers or the Guarantor contained in this Agreement.

9.4 Notice of Claim. A Person that may be entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX (the “Indemnified Person”), shall promptly notify the party or parties liable for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Person”), in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Buyers or Sellers, as applicable, have determined give rise or would reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this

- 76 -

Article IX; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure, it being understood that notices of any Claims must be delivered prior to the expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 9.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. Notice of any Claim shall specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):

(a) whether the Claim is a Direct Claim or a Third Party Claim;

(b) the factual basis for the Claim, and any provisions of this Agreement, or of any Applicable Laws, relied upon; and

(c) the amount of the Claim or, if an amount is not then determinable, an approximate and reasonable estimate of the potential amount of the Claim or a statement that such Indemnified Person is unable in good faith at such time to quantify such amount.

9.5 Procedure for Indemnification; Direct Claims. Following receipt of notice of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have thirty (30) days to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as the Indemnifying Person considers necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Person shall make available to the Indemnifying Person and its representatives the information relied upon by the Indemnified Person to substantiate the Direct Claim. If the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person agree at or prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period (or any extension thereof agreed upon by the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person) as to the validity and amount of the Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Person the full agreed upon amount of the Direct Claim. If the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person do not agree within such period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person agree that the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to commence an arbitration proceeding in accordance with the procedures under Section 10.13 to recover the full amount of the Loss with respect to the Direct Claim and any costs incidental to the proceeding.

9.6 Procedure for Indemnification; Third Party Claims.

(a) With respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is sought pursuant to (i) Section 9.3(a) or 9.3(b), the Indemnifying Person shall assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, but shall allow the Indemnified Person a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense and (ii) Section 9.2(a), 9.2(b) or 9.2(c), the Buyers shall assume the defense and control of such Third Party Claim (with outside legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnifying Party), but shall allow the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense (provided that any such expenses shall be counted as Losses for purposes of calculating the cap on indemnification set forth in Section 9.8(b)(ii)).

- 77 -

(b) In the event that any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is sought pursuant to Section 9.2(a), 9.2(b), 9.2(c), 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) is of a nature such that the Indemnified Person is required by Applicable Laws to make a payment to any Person (a “Third Party”) with respect to such Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Person may make such payment and the Indemnifying Person shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Person, reimburse the Indemnified Person for any such payment. If the amount of any liability under the Third Party Claim which is indemnifiable hereunder and in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay such difference to the Indemnifying Person.

(c) The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person shall cooperate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available) and shall each designate a senior officer who will keep himself or herself informed about and be prepared to discuss the Third Party Claim with his or her counterpart and with legal counsel at all reasonable times.

(d) With respect to any Third Party Claim for which indemnity is sought pursuant to (i) Section 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) the Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, without the consent of any Indemnified Person; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall (A) pay or cause to be paid all amounts in such settlement or judgment and (B) obtain, as a condition of any settlement or other resolution, a release of the Indemnified Person affected by such Third Party Claim and (ii) Section 9.2(a), 9.2(b) or 9.2(c), the Buyers shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claim, without the consent of the Sellers.

(e) The above provisions of this Section 9.6 shall not apply to Tax Proceedings.

9.7 No Right to Set-off. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents to the contrary, no party shall have any right to off-set or set-off any payment due pursuant to this Article IX against any other payment to be made pursuant to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

- 78 -

9.8 Sellers Limits on Indemnification. Subject to Section 9.10 but otherwise notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Person against, or reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Person for:

(a) any Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), (i) to the extent such Loss was taken into account in the Adjustment Amount procedures set forth in Section 2.4, (ii) in excess of $40,000,000 (forty million United States Dollars) (less any amounts paid pursuant to Section 9.2(c)), (iii) with respect to any claim unless such claim involves Losses (A) pursuant to 9.2(a), and solely in respect of breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.37(a) (solely with respect to any Claim related to the infringement, unauthorized use, or violation of any Intellectual Property Rights), 3.37(e), 3.38(a), 3.38(c), 3.43, 3.47, 3.52, 3.53(a) and 3.64, in excess of $600,000 and (B) in all other cases, in excess of $25,000 (in the case of clauses (A) and (B), nor shall such claims be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Claims for purposes of the following clause (iv)) and (iv) unless the aggregate amount of Claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2(a), 9.2(b) and 9.2(c) are in excess of $6,000,000 (six million United States Dollars) (provided, however, that after the aggregate amount of such Claims are in excess of such amount, the Buyers shall be entitled to receive the full amount of the Buyers’ Claims, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article IX); and

(b) any Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(c), (i) to the extent such Loss was taken into account in the Adjustment Amount procedures set forth in Section 2.4, (ii) in excess of $80,000,000 (eighty million United States Dollars) (less any amounts paid pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or 9.2(b)), (iii) with respect to any claim unless such claim involves Losses in excess of $25,000 (nor shall any such claims be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Claims for purposes of the following clause (iv)), (iv) unless the aggregate amount of Claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.2(a), 9.2(b) and 9.2(c) are in excess of $6,000,000 (six million United States Dollars) (provided, however, that after the aggregate amount of such Claims are in excess of such amount, the Buyers shall be entitled to receive the full amount of the Buyers’ Claims, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article IX) and (v) on or following the date that is twenty one (21) months from the Closing Date (provided that if any claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(c) have been asserted prior to such date, such claims and the obligations of the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.2(c) shall continue in effect until final resolution of all such claims).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in any case Sellers shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Buyer Indemnified Person against, or reimburse any Buyer Indemnified Person for amounts (i) under this Article IX in excess of $80,000,000 (eighty million United States Dollars) in the aggregate, (ii) under Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) in excess of $40,000,000 (forty million United States Dollars) in the aggregate and (iii) in respect of a particular Claim, under both Sections 9.2(a) or 9.2(b), on the one hand, and Section 9.2(c), on the other hand. If any Claim for indemnity by the Buyers pursuant to Section 9.2(a) may be brought as a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.37(a), 3.37(e), 3.38(a), 3.38(c), 3.43, 3.47, 3.52, 3.53(a) or 3.64, then such Claim shall only be brought as a breach under such representations or warranties and shall not be brought under any other representations or warranties.

- 79 -

9.9 Buyers Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyers shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Seller Indemnified Person against, or reimburse any Seller Indemnified Person for any Losses pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or 9.3(b), (a) if such Loss was included in connection with the Adjustment Amount procedures set forth in Section 2.4, (b) in excess of $40,000,000 (forty million United States Dollars), (c) with respect to any claim unless such claim involves Losses in excess of $25,000 (nor shall such claims be applied to or considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of Claims for purposes of the following clause (d)) and (d) unless the aggregate amount of Claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 9.3(a) and 9.3(b) are in excess of $6,000,000 (six million United States Dollars) (provided, however, that after the aggregate amount of such Claims are in excess of such amount, the Sellers shall be entitled to receive the full amount of the Sellers’ Claims, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article IX).

9.10 Indemnification for Fraud, Etc. Notwithstanding Section 9.8, in the event of a Claim by the Buyers based on fraud or willful misconduct or a Claim by the Buyers for breach of Sections 3.10 (the last sentence only) or 3.11 (last sentence only), the reference to $40,000,000 (forty million United States Dollars) in Section 9.8(a)(ii), the reference to $80,000,000 (eighty million United States Dollars)in Section 9.8(b)(ii) shall be replaced with $200,000,000 (two hundred million United States Dollars).

9.11 Exclusive Remedies. Except (a) as provided in Section 10.2 with respect to breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, (b) with respect to the Adjustment Amount procedures set forth in Section 2.4 and (c) with respect to any matter relating to Taxes (which shall be governed by Article VI), Sellers and the Buyers acknowledge and agree that, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Sellers and the Buyers, respectively, for any Losses (including any Losses from claims for breach of contract, warranty, tortious conduct (including negligence) or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute, strict liability, or otherwise) that each party may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to, as a result of, or in connection with, any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement by the other party or any failure by the other party to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement in this Agreement that, by its terms, was to have been performed, or complied with, by such other party prior to the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereby irrevocably waive any right of rescission they may otherwise have or to which they may become entitled.

9.12 Additional Indemnification Provisions. With respect to each of the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article IX or in any Transaction Document (a) all Losses shall be net of any third party insurance proceeds that have been recovered by the Indemnified Person in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification, (b) other than in the case of fraud, in no event shall an Indemnifying Person have liability to an Indemnified Person for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect or punitive damages, lost profits or similar items (provided that any such damages actually owed by

- 80 -

an Indemnified Person to a third Person that is not an Affiliate of such Indemnified Person with respect to an indemnifiable Third Party Claim will be indemnifiable Losses subject to the limitations of this Article IX so long as such damages were not caused by the wanton misconduct of any Indemnified Person) and (c) the Sellers shall have no liability to indemnify any Indemnified Person with respect to any Losses caused by or resulting from (i) any action taken at the direction of the Buyers or (ii) the Sellers’ and the QNX Entities’ having taken or having refrained from taking any action in order to be in compliance with Section 5.5.

9.13 Mitigation. Each of the parties agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

Any party to this Agreement may modify the notification details specified in this paragraph by delivering written notice of such modifications to each of the other parties as provided in this Section 10.1; provided, however, that any such modification shall only be effective on the date specified in such notice or five Business Days after the notice is given, whichever is later.

10.2 Remedies. The parties acknowledge and agree that an award of damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any party or its representatives, advisors or agents and that such breach would cause the non-breaching party irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties agree that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the parties, the Sellers (if the Buyers or the Guarantor is the breaching party) or the Buyers (if the Sellers are the breaching party) will be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including the issuance of injunctive relief by the Ontario Courts to compel performance of such

- 82 -

party’s obligations, or to prevent such party from breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and the granting of specific performance of such party’s obligations hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to each of the parties.

10.3 Amendments; No Waivers.

(a) Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, no amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Buyers, the Sellers and the Guarantor or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision nor shall any waiver of any provision of this Agreement constitute a continuing waiver unless expressly provided for herein or therein. No investigation or waiver made by or on behalf of any party shall have the effect of waiving, diminishing the scope of or otherwise affecting any representation or warranty made by any other party pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

10.4 Expenses. Except as may be otherwise specified in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, each party shall be responsible for and bear all of its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including expenses of its representatives incurred at any time in connection with pursuing or consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. For greater certainty, the Sellers shall be responsible for and bear all of the costs and expenses, including legal fees, of the QNX Entities relating to the period up to and including the Closing Time.

10.5 Benefit of the Agreement. Subject to Section 10.6, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns.

10.6 Assignment. No party to this Agreement may assign its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such purported assignment is void; provided that the Sellers may assign any or all of their rights and obligations under this Agreement to any subsidiary of Parent so long as no such assignment shall release the Sellers from any liability or obligation under this Agreement.

- 83 -

10.7 Further Assurances.

(a) From time to time after the Closing, each party will, at the request of any other party and without further consideration, execute and deliver to the requesting party such other documents, and take such other action, as such requesting party may reasonably request in order to vest in the Buyers good, valid and marketable title to the Shares and the Intellectual Property Rights owned by each QNX Entity and to give the Buyers contractual rights to the Intellectual Property Rights licensed to each QNX Entity.

(b) If, after the Closing, the Sellers or their Affiliates receive any funds that are the property of the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Companies), Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, remit any such funds, and any cash and cash equivalents of the QNX Entities included in the adjustment to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 5.14, promptly to Buyer or such Affiliate. If, after the Closing, the Buyer or its Affiliates (including the Companies) receive any funds that are the property of the Sellers or their Affiliates, the Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, remit any such funds promptly to such Seller or such Affiliate.

10.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the QNX Entities in respect of continued employment (or resumed employment) with the QNX Entities, and no provision of this Agreement shall create any such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Benefit Arrangement or any plan or arrangement that may be established by the Buyers or any of their Affiliates.

10.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, in each case without reference to any conflict of Law rules that might lead to the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

10.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission and such facsimile copy will be deemed to be an original.

10.11 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral,

- 84 -

among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No representation, inducement, promise, understanding, condition or warranty not set forth herein has been made or relied upon by any party with respect to this Agreement.

10.12 Jurisdiction. Subject to Section 10.13, any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or arising out of or relating to, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents shall be brought in the courts of the Province of Ontario (the “Ontario Courts”), and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such suit, action or proceeding and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents in any court other than the Ontario Courts. Each of the parties hereby waives (a) any obligation to forum or venue laid therein, (b) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than failure to serve in accordance with this Section 10.12 and (c) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise).
