The failure by the Securityholders’ Representative to deliver the Objection Notice within the Review Period shall constitute the Securityholders’ Representative’s acceptance of the calculation of Excess Cash as set forth in the Revised Closing Statement. If the Securityholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice within the Review Period, then, within a further period of twenty (20) Business Days from the end of the Review Period, the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent and, if desired, their accountants will attempt to resolve in good faith any disputed items and reach a written agreement with respect thereto. Failing such resolution, the unresolved disputed items will be referred for final binding resolution to Deloitte LLP or such other Persons as the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent may mutually agree (the “Arbitrating

- 20 -

Accountants”), the fees and expenses of which shall be allocated between the Securityholders’ Representative (solely on behalf of the Securityholders in its capacity as the Securityholders’ Representative, and not its individual capacity), on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed items submitted to the Arbitrating Accountants that is unsuccessfully disputed by each such party (as finally determined by the Arbitrating Accountants) bears to the total amount of such disputed items so submitted. Such determination (the “Accountants’ Determination”) shall be (i) in writing, (ii) furnished to the Securityholders’ Representative and Parent as soon as practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days) after the items in dispute have been referred to the Arbitrating Accountants, (iii) made in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the calculation of Required Cash as set forth on Exhibit B; and (iv) nonappealable and incontestable by the parties and each of their respective Affiliates and successors and assigns and not subject to collateral attack for any reason other than manifest error or fraud. As used herein “Final Excess Cash” means the Excess Cash as ultimately determined in accordance with this Section 3.5(b). The Initial Merger Consideration as finally adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.5 will be deemed to be the “Merger Consideration”.

Section 3.6. Payment of Excess or Deficiency.

(a) If the calculation of the Merger Consideration based on the Excess Cash shown on the Revised Closing Statement is less than the calculation of the Merger Consideration based on the Excess Cash shown on the Closing Statement, then the Securityholders shall pay or cause to be paid the difference to Parent by wire transfer in immediately available funds from the Escrow Account. If the calculation of the Merger Consideration based on the Excess Cash shown on the Revised Closing Statement is greater than the calculation of the Merger Consideration based on the Excess Cash shown on the Closing Statement, then Parent shall deliver the difference to the Paying Agent to be distributed to the Securityholders pro rata based on the portion of the Initial Merger Consideration to which the applicable Securityholder was entitled to receive.

(b) All payments to be made to either Parent or the Securityholders pursuant to this Section 3.6 will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent’s account or Parent’s account, as applicable, designated by each such party within two (2) Business Days of the determination of the Final Excess Cash.

Section 3.7. Withholding Rights.

Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall determine in good faith are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the Canadian Tax Act, or any provision of United States or Canadian federal, state, provincial, local or non-U.S. tax law. Such withheld amounts that are remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made.

No fact or circumstance exists that could adversely affect the tax-preferred or tax exempt status of any Foreign Company Benefit Plan. All obligations regarding the Foreign Company Benefit Plans have been satisfied and there are no outstanding defaults or violations by any party thereto and no taxes, penalties or fees are owing or exigible under any of the Foreign Company Benefit Plans.

Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries is (i) in material breach or material default with respect to any obligations under any such policies, the noncompliance with which would cause the insurer to be able to deny coverage and (ii) in material breach or material default with respect to any other obligation under any such policy.

Section 6.8. Supplements to Schedules.

Prior to the Closing, for information purposes only, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to supplement or amend the Schedules which it has delivered pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any matter first existing or occurring after the date hereof which, if existing or occurring at or prior to the date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Schedules or which is necessary to correct any information in such Schedules which has been rendered inaccurate thereby (such matters, the “Supplemental Information”). No supplement or amendment to any Schedule will have any effect with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Article IX or for the purpose of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2; provided that, it is understood and agreed that the failure of any such supplement or amendment to contain all Supplemental Information required to be contained therein pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed to (i) be a failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) or (ii) constitute a breach of the covenants contained in this Section 6.8 that is indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii). For purposes of determining whether there is any misrepresentation or breach of a warranty, covenant or agreement by the Company hereunder, the Schedules delivered by the Company shall be deemed to include only the information contained therein on the date of this Agreement.

Section 6.9. Tax Covenants.

(a) Tax Methodologies. For purposes of determining the allocation of Taxes, the Securityholders, the Surviving Company, and Parent agree as follows:

(i) Taxes in the form of interest, penalties, additions to tax or other additional amounts that relate to Taxes for any period ending on the Closing Date (or portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) shall be treated as occurring in a period ending on the Closing Date (or the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) whether such items are incurred, accrued, assessed or similarly charged on, before or after the Closing Date;

(ii) Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date using the following conventions: (A) in the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, the amount apportioned to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period

- 46 -

ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period; and (B) in the case of all other Taxes (including income Taxes, employment Taxes, and sales and use Taxes) the amount apportioned to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company or the applicable Subsidiary filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of clause (B), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be apportioned to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the relative number of days in such portion of the Straddle Period as compared to the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(iii) Taxes incurred by the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to income of a Flow Thru Entity for a year including the Closing Date shall be apportioned to the Pre-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) assuming that for all relevant Tax purposes the Company, each Subsidiary and the Flow Thru Entity shall have a year end as of the end of the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.”

(b) Tax Returns. Parent shall cause the Company and each Subsidiary to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns of the Company and each Subsidiary that are due (after taking into account all appropriate extensions) after the Closing Date and shall timely remit Taxes shown to be due thereon. To the extent that such Tax Return relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period, such Tax Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with existing procedures and practices and accounting methods of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and, to the extent applicable, the conventions provided in Section 6.9(g), unless, as reasonably determined by Parent, such procedure, practice, accounting method or other contemplated treatment does not have sufficient legal support to avoid the imposition of Taxes in the form of penalties, in which case, such Tax Return shall be prepared in accordance with any good faith method determined by Parent that has sufficient support to avoid the imposition of Taxes in the form of penalties. Parent shall provide any income Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that shows a Tax that Parent believes the Securityholders are obligated to pay hereunder to the Securityholders’ Representative for review at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing (after taking into account all appropriate extensions) and shall incorporate reasonable comments of the Securityholders’ Representative provided within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such Tax Return in the Tax Return actually filed. None of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries shall amend any previously filed Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) Tax Refunds and Credits. Subject to the two (2) last sentences of this Section 6.9(c), refunds for Taxes for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (whether in the form of cash received or a direct credit against Taxes otherwise payable in a Post-Closing Tax Period or portion of a Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date) shall be for the benefit of the Securityholders. To the extent that Parent, the Company, or a Subsidiary receives a refund or credit of any Tax after the Closing Date, Parent shall pay to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Securityholders the amount of such refund or credit (without interest other than interest received from the Governmental Entity with respect to such refund), net of any Taxes and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent, the Company, or any Subsidiary in obtaining or receiving such refund or credit (and interest). The amount payable to, or on behalf of, the Securityholders with respect to any refund or credit shall be paid within ten (10) days of receipt of such refund (or, if in the form of a direct credit, with ten (10) days of filing the Tax Return claiming the benefit of the direct credit). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following refunds or credits shall not be for the benefit of the Securityholders and Parent shall not have

- 47 -

any obligations to make any payment to, or for the benefit, of any Securityholder with respect to the following refunds: (i) any refund or credit that was included as an asset (or offset to a liability) on the Latest Balance Sheet; (ii) any refund or credit that results from the carrying back of any net operating loss or other Tax attribute or credit arising in a Post-Closing Tax Period (or portion of a Straddle Period beginning on the day immediately after the Closing Date); (iii) any refund or credit that Parent, the Company, or any Subsidiary is required to pay to a third party pursuant to applicable Law or pursuant to a Contract or other agreement that was entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary on or before the Closing Date or entered into by any Securityholder; (iv) any refund or credit that is with respect to a Tax to the extent such Tax was not included as a current liability on the Latest Balance Sheet, actually indemnified by the Securityholders under this Agreement or paid on or prior to the Closing Date; or (v) any refund or credit included as an asset (or offset to a liability) in the computation of Required Cash for purposes of determining Final Excess Cash. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 6.9(c) to the contrary, refunds for any Transfer Tax incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be fifty percent (50%) for the benefit of the Securityholders and fifty percent (50%) of the benefit of Parent, provided each party has paid its allocable share under Section 6.9(f).

(d) Tax Contests. Parent shall notify the Securityholders’ Representative within thirty (30) days following receipt of any written notice of audit, examination or other proceeding with respect to any Taxes for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period. No failure or delay of Parent, the Company, or any Subsidiary in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of the Securityholders pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company or any Subsidiary from defending against any liability or claim for Taxes that the Securityholders are obligated to pay hereunder. Parent, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall control any examination, investigation, audit, or other Proceeding in respect of any Tax Return or Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary (a “Tax Contest”), provided that (i) the Securityholders’ Representative, at the sole cost and expenses of the Securityholders, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest to the extent it relates to Taxes or a Tax Return of the Company or any Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period and (ii) Parent, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall not settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest (or any issue raised in such Tax Contest) if such settlement or other resolution relates to Taxes for which the Securityholders are liable under this Agreement without the permission of the Securityholders’ Representative (which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e) Cooperation. Parent, the Surviving Company and the Securityholders shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) assist in the preparation and timely filing of any Tax Return of the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) assist in any audit or other proceedings with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary (whether or not a Tax Contest); (iii) make available any information, records, or other documents relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any Subsidiary; (iv) provide any information required to allow Parent, the Surviving Company, or any Subsidiary to comply with any information reporting or withholding requirements contained in the Code, the Canadian Tax Act or other applicable Laws; and (v) provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.

(f) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by the Securityholders and fifty percent (50%) by Parent when due, and Parent and the Securityholders will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges.

- 48 -

(g) Conventions for Filing Tax Returns. For purposes of preparing Tax Returns, the Securityholders, Parent and the Surviving Corporation agree as follows:

(i) to the extent permissible under applicable Laws, the parties agree to elect to have the Tax year of the Company and any Subsidiary end on and include the Closing Date (for greater certainty, the Canadian Subsidiaries each shall make the election contemplated by subsection 256(9) of the Canadian Tax Act and any corresponding provincial provision to have the Tax year of each Canadian Subsidiary end immediately before the Effective Time);

(ii) any deduction attributable to payment of the Option Consideration, the payment of which accrues on or prior to the Closing Date, shall be treated as arising in the Pre-Closing Tax Period; and

(iii) unless otherwise required under applicable Law, all indemnification payments under this Agreement shall be reported as adjustments to the Merger Consideration for all relevant Tax purposes.

Section 6.10. Continuing Director and Officer Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company and the Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiaries, to the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ respective present and former directors, managers and officers (the “Indemnified Directors and Officers”) pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company or other applicable organizational documents of the Company and the Subsidiaries and all obligations under any and all agreements set forth on Schedule 6.10. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (or other applicable organizational document) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses, covering acts and omissions of the Indemnified Persons, in each case in their capacities as directors, managers or officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries, occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (or other applicable organizational document) of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and, during such six-year period, except as required by applicable Law, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects the rights of the Indemnified Directors and Officers thereunder.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (the “D&O Tail Policy”) for the directors, managers and officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries in a form mutually acceptable to the Company and Parent, which shall provide such directors, managers and officers with coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company; provided, however, all premiums (whether due now or in the future) under any such policy shall be paid by the Company prior to the Effective Time. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.10 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Directors and Officers (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Tail Policy (and their heirs)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Director or Officer or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Tail Policy (and their heirs). Each of the Indemnified Directors and Officers or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Tail Policy (and their heirs) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto.

- 49 -

(c) This Section 6.10 (i) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, (ii) is intended to benefit the Indemnified Directors and Officers and their respective heirs, and (iii) is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any Person may have against Parent or the Company first arising after the Closing Date by contract or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or the Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 6.11. Stockholders Consent

(a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Requisite Stockholder Approval in accordance with applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company. The Requisite Stockholder Approval shall be irrevocable with respect to all shares of Company Stock that are owned beneficially or of record by the applicable consenting Stockholders or as to which they have, directly or indirectly, the right to vote or direct the voting thereof.

(b) In the event that there are any holders of Company Stock who do not sign the Requisite Stockholder Approval, at Parent’s request (in its sole discretion), within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which the Company obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company shall prepare and circulate to such non-consenting Stockholders an information statement (the “Information Statement”) in connection with the Company’s solicitation of acknowledgement of this Agreement and the Merger from such Stockholders. The Information Statement shall include the required notice under the DGCL that the holders of Company Common Stock are or may be entitled to assert dissenters’ rights under such Law in connection with the Merger. The Company will promptly advise Parent if at any time prior to the Effective Time the Company shall obtain knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary to amend or supplement the Information Statement in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading or to comply with applicable Law. The Information Statement shall explain that the board of directors of the Company unanimously recommended that the holders of Company Common Stock approve the Merger and shall, in accordance with the requirements of Section 228(e) of the DGCL, notify any holder of Company Common Stock who did not execute the Requisite Stockholder Approval of the corporate action taken by those Stockholders who did execute the Requisite Stockholder Approval, and all such other information as Parent shall reasonably request. Any materials to be submitted to Stockholders by the Company in accordance with this Section 6.11(b) shall be subject to Parent’s advance review and approval.

For purposes of each Parent Plan in which any Company Participant is eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide credit to each Company Participant for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting under such Parent Plans for years of service with the Company (or any predecessors) prior to the Closing Date, (ii) waive any pre-existing condition limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements (but only to the extent that such limitations, waiting periods and requirements were waived or satisfied under the applicable corresponding Company Benefit Plan), and (iii) provide credit for any co-payments and deductibles prior to the Closing Date for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, out-of-pocket or similar requirements under any such plans that may apply after the Closing Date, in each of cases (i), (ii) and (iii), to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Parent Plan and not resulting in any duplication of benefits.

(c) Exceptions to the Indemnity Cap.

(i) Subject to Section 9.2(c)(ii) and Section 9.2(d), the Cap Amount shall not apply to the rights of the Parent Group to be indemnified pursuant to Section 9.1(a) with respect to Losses to the extent arising from, in connection with, or as a result of (v) any knowing and intentional breach by the Company of any covenant contained in this Agreement, (w) any fraudulent breach by the

(B) the sum of all Losses pursuant to which indemnification is payable by the Securityholders with respect to breaches of the Employee Benefits Representations, when combined with all Losses pursuant to which indemnification is payable by the Securityholders under this Article IX other than with respect to Losses to the extent arising from, in connection with, or as a result of (w) any knowing and intentional breach by the Company of any covenant contained in this Agreement, (x) any fraudulent breach by the Company of any representations or warranty contained in this Agreement, (y) any breach by the Company of the Fundamental Representations or the Tax Representations, or (z) Section 9.1(a)(ix), shall not exceed Forty Two Million Dollars ($42,000,000) (the “Employee Benefits Cap Amount”); and

(C) the sum of all Losses pursuant to which indemnification is payable by the Securityholders under this Article IX shall not exceed the Purchase Price Cap.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that the liability limits in Article IX are overlapping such that each Securityholder’s Responsible Pro Rata Portion of any such lower liability amount is included within, and not additive to, such Securityholder’s Responsible Pro Rata Portion of any such higher liability limits, except to the extent provided in Section 9.2(c)(ii).

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.2(d), in no event shall any Securityholder be obligated to indemnify the Parent Group for any Loss pursuant to this Article IX in excess of such Securityholder’s Responsible Pro Rata Portion of such Loss, nor, to the extent that Section 9.2(b) or 9.2(c) applies, shall any Securityholder be obligated to indemnify the Parent Group hereunder for any amount in excess of such Securityholder’s Responsible Pro Rata Portion of the Cap Amount, the Supplemental Cap Amount, the Employee Benefits Cap Amount or the Purchase Price Cap, as the case may be, which in all cases shall not exceed the Purchase Price Cap. Any claims for fraud by any Securityholder shall be made against such Securityholder individually and not against the Escrow Account or any other Securityholder.

(e) By virtue of the acceptance of the applicable portions of the Merger Consideration by the Securityholders, the Securityholders waive any right to (i) seek contribution or other

- 59 -

payment from the Company or any of the Subsidiaries with respect to Losses for which it is required to indemnify the Parent Group pursuant to this Article IX or (ii) bring a claim against the current or former directors, managers or officers of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries as a result of Losses for which they are required to indemnify the Parent Group pursuant to this Article IX; provided however, that without limiting the provisions of Section 6.10, the foregoing is not intended to be and shall not act as a limitation on any right of indemnification, contribution or reimbursement that such Securityholder may have against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries in his or her capacity as a current or former director or officer of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Securityholder be obligated to indemnify the Parent Group for any Loss pursuant to this Article IX related to or arising from the amount, value or condition of any Tax asset or attribute (e.g., net operating loss carry-forward, capital loss carry-forward, or tax credit carry-forward) of the Company or its Subsidiaries arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period (the “Pre-Closing Tax Assets”), or the inability of the Parent Group or the Surviving Corporation to utilize the Pre-Closing Tax Assets, except to the extent a diminution of or inability to utilize the Pre-Closing Tax Assets results in Taxes in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(g) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in no event shall any Securityholder be obligated to indemnify the Parent Group for any Losses pursuant to this Article IX to the extent the amount of such Losses were (i) included as Liabilities in the calculation of Estimated Excess Cash or Final Excess Cash and/or (ii) reserved or accrued for in the Latest Balance Sheet.

(h) Losses shall be calculated net of actual recoveries under existing insurance policies (net of any actual collection costs and reserves and deductibles); provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 9.2(h) shall be deemed to require or obligate any Indemnified Person to seek or continue to pursue recovery under any insurance policy with respect to any amount of Loss. Losses shall be calculated net of any Tax benefits that the indemnified party (or related Person) actually realizes in the taxable year of the Loss, any prior taxable year or the immediately succeeding taxable year, in each case, as a result of such Loss.

(i) In the event the Closing occurs, the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article IX will be the exclusive remedy of the Parent Group against the Securityholders and the Seller Group against Parent for Losses under this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein is intended to limit or waive any claims for fraud or any other claims in tort brought against an individual tortfeasor or waive any equitable remedies to which a party may be entitled and (ii) there shall not be any double recovery to the extent a claim is asserted pursuant to this Article IX arising from, in connection with, or as a result of any fraudulent breach by the Company of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement.

Section 9.3. Assertion of Claims; Payment of Claims.

(a) No claim shall be brought under Section 9.1 unless the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, at any time prior to the applicable Survival Date, give the Indemnifying Persons (i) written notice of the existence of any such claim, specifying the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, determined in good faith based on the facts and circumstances existing at the time or (ii) written notice pursuant to Section 9.4 of any Third Party Claim, the existence of which would give rise to such a claim. Upon the giving of such written notice as aforesaid, the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, shall have the right to commence legal Proceedings subsequent to the Survival Date for the enforcement of their rights under Section 9.1. Subject to the limitations otherwise described in Article IX, the Securityholders’ indemnification obligations under this Article IX include, without limitation, the obligation to pay and reimburse the Parent Group for all Losses determined to be indemnifiable hereunder

- 60 -

in accordance with the provision of this Agreement, whether or not arising due to Third Party Claims. Following the delivery of any such notice of claim, the Securityholders’ Representative and its representatives and agents shall be given such access as they may reasonably require to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation for the purposes of resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in the notice of claim. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to each provision in this Article 9 where the Indemnified Person(s) or the Indemnifying Person(s) is/are, collectively, the Securityholders, then in each such case all references to such Indemnified Person(s) or Indemnifying Person(s), as the case may be, shall be deemed (except for provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments) to refer to the Securityholders’ Representative acting on behalf of such Indemnified Person(s) or Indemnifying Person(s), as applicable).

(b) Subject to Section 9.3(c), upon a determination of Losses resulting from any of the indemnifiable matters described in Sections 9.1(a) or 9.1(b), the Indemnifying Persons shall pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Persons the amount so determined within five (5) Business Days after the date of determination. If there should be a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Persons shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation as shall not be subject to dispute.

(c) Any obligation of the Securityholders to indemnify the Parent Group shall be satisfied:

(A) in the case of any Loss arising from, in connection with, or as a result of the Specified Indemnity Matters Group A, as set forth in Schedule 9.1;

(B) in all other cases, first, by recourse to the General Escrow Funds until such funds are depleted; and

(C) thereafter, severally from the Securityholders by prompt payment to Parent or the appropriate member of the Parent Group with respect to matters for which the Cap Amount does not apply, if the balance of the General Escrow Funds is insufficient or unavailable to satisfy the entire amount of such payments to be made to Parent (including as a result of the funds contained in the Escrow Account being paid to the Securityholders pursuant to the terms hereof) (the amount of such insufficiency, the “Shortfall Amount”), based on such Securityholders’ Responsible Pro Rata Portions of the Shortfall Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2(c).

Section 9.4. Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims.

The obligations and Liabilities of an Indemnifying Person with respect to Losses resulting from the assertion of Liability by a third party against or involving an Indemnified Person (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below; provided, however, that the obligations and Liabilities of an Indemnifying Person with respect to Losses resulting from the Specified Indemnity Matters Group A shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 9.1.

(a) The Indemnified Persons shall give prompt (but in any event within thirty (30) days, which, for the avoidance of doubt, the parties are not acknowledging means “prompt”) written notice to the Indemnifying Persons (or, in the case of a claim by a member of the Parent Group, to the Securityholders’ Representative) of any Third Party Claim which might give rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Persons, stating the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim and the amount thereof to the extent known and determined in good faith based on the facts and circumstances existing at the time; provided, however, that no delay, including any notice provided beyond such thirty (30) day period, on

- 61 -

the part of the Indemnified Persons in notifying the Indemnifying Persons (or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable) shall relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any Liability hereunder, unless (and then solely to the extent) such Indemnifying Persons are prejudiced or damaged in any manner by such delay. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument directly relating thereto.

(b) If within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnified Persons shall have received written notice from the Indemnifying Person acknowledging, in a writing, that the Indemnifying Persons are obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons under the terms of their indemnification obligations hereunder in connection with a particular Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at its own expense and by its own counsel, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Persons shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, notwithstanding the giving of such written acknowledgment, if (i) the claim seeks only an injunction or other equitable relief; (ii) the Indemnified Persons shall have been advised by outside counsel that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to them which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Persons, and, in the reasonable opinion of the outside counsel to such Indemnified Persons, counsel for the Indemnifying Persons could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Persons because such interests could be in conflict with those of the Indemnifying Persons; (iii) such action would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Indemnified Person’s Tax liability; (iv) such action or Proceeding involves criminal liability; or (v) the Indemnifying Persons shall not have assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim within the twenty (20)-day period described above.

(c) If the Indemnifying Person elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim (under circumstances in which the proviso in Section 9.4(b) is not applicable), the Indemnifying Person shall consult with Indemnified Persons and the Indemnified Persons may participate in such defense, but in such case the expenses of Indemnified Persons shall be paid by Indemnified Persons. If the Indemnifying Person fails to defend a Third Party Claim, is otherwise restricted from so defending, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnifying Person fails to prosecute or withdraws from such defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnifying Person’s expense. If Indemnified Persons assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms hereof and propose to settle such Third Party Claim prior to a final judgment thereon, then Indemnified Persons shall give the Indemnifying Person prompt written notice thereof, and the Indemnified Persons may not settle such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided however that except with the consent of the Indemnifying Person, no such settlement shall be determinative of whether there is any underlying basis for indemnification under this Article IX nor the amount of Losses relating to such Third Party Claim.

(d) If the Indemnifying Person exercises its right to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, it shall not make any settlement of any claims without the written consent of the Indemnified Persons, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(e) To the extent there is an inconsistency between this Section 9.4 and Section 6.9 as to any Tax matter, the provisions of Section 6.9 shall govern.

- 62 -

Section 9.5. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Release of Escrow Funds.

(a) Subject to the further provisions of this Section 9.5(a), the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months following, and calculated from, the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”); provided, however, that the Fundamental Representations, the Tax Representations and the Employee Benefits Representations shall survive the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (after taking into account any waiver, extension, tolling or mitigation thereof, in each case, in accordance with applicable Law), if any, applicable to the subject matters set forth therein. The covenants and agreements contained herein shall survive the Closing Date indefinitely for purposes of any claim of nonfulfillment, nonperformance or breach thereof, unless the covenant or agreement specifies a term, in which case such covenant or agreement shall survive for such specified term, and in each case until such claim has been finally resolved. For convenience of reference, the date upon which any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein shall terminate, if any, is referred to herein as the “Survival Date.” It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 9.5 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by Contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby.

(b) Each party hereto shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be deemed to have relied upon, all representations, warranties and covenants of each other party set forth in this Agreement which have been or are made in favor of such party, and the rights of the Parent Group under this Article IX shall not be affected notwithstanding (i) the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation, (ii) any investigation or examination conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) about the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation made by or on behalf of the parties hereto, the Closing hereunder, (iii) the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation, or (iv) the Closing hereunder.

(c) Subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Section 10.1(c), the Escrow Account shall be in existence immediately following the Effective Time, and the Escrow Funds (less any amount which is reasonably necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Losses specified in a notice delivered to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 9.3 or Section 9.4 prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period) shall be released from the Escrow Account no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the termination of the Escrow Period. Upon the release of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each of the Securityholders such Securityholder’s Responsible Pro Rata Portion (if any) of the remaining portion of the Escrow Funds no longer reasonably necessary to satisfy any then pending claims against the Escrow Account and shall deliver to each of the Securityholders such Securityholder’s Responsible Pro Rata Portion (if any) of the remaining portion of the Escrow Funds, if any, following resolution of all such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Supplemental Escrow Amount is deposited in the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(iv), any amounts remaining of the Supplemental Escrow Funds shall be released from the Escrow Account prior to the expiration of the Escrow Period no later than 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the occurrence of a Release Event. Upon such release of the Supplemental Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to each of the Securityholders such Securityholder’s Responsible Pro Rata Portion (if any) of the remaining portion of the Supplemental Escrow Funds.

- 63 -

Section 9.6. Guarantee

(a) Guarantor hereby guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance when due of all present and future obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of Parent to the Seller Group arising under this Agreement at or prior to the Effective Time (collective, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Seller Group may have immediate recourse against Guarantor for full and immediate payment of the Guaranteed Obligations at any time after the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, have not been paid in full when due or performed when required by this Agreement. This is a guarantee of payment, and not of collection, and Guarantor therefore agrees that the Seller Group shall not be obligated prior to seeking recourse against or receiving payment from Guarantor to do any of the following acts (although Seller Group may do so, in whole or in part, at its option), the performance of each of which is hereby unconditionally waived by Guarantor: (a) take any steps whatsoever to collect from Parent or to file any claim of any kind against Parent; or (b) in any other respect exercise any diligence whatsoever in collecting or attempting to collect the Guaranteed Obligations by any means. No delay on the part of the Seller Group in exercising any of their options, powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, under this Section 9.6 will constitute a waiver thereof. If any provision of this Section 9.6 is determined to be illegal, unconscionable or unenforceable, all other terms and provisions hereof will nevertheless remain effective and will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. Following the Closing, the provisions of this Section 9.6 shall automatically terminate and Guarantor shall have no further obligations hereunder.

(b) This Guaranty is absolute, unconditional, continuing and irrevocable, and is in no way conditioned on, contingent upon or affected by the existence or continuance of Parent as a legal entity, the consolidation or merger of Parent with or into any other entity, the sale, lease or disposition by Parent of all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of Parent, the admission by Parent of its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or the making by Parent of a general assignment for the benefit of, or entering into a composition or arrangement with, creditors. The Seller Group may, at any time and from time to time, to the extent in accordance with this Agreement, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor (except such notice as may be required by applicable statute which cannot be waived), without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, (i) amend or supplement the terms of this Agreement or any documents, instruments or agreements executed in connection herewith (including the Guaranteed Obligations) or (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Parent or Guarantor or otherwise act or refrain from acting.

(c) Guarantor, to the extent permitted under applicable law, hereby waives (i) any right to require the Seller Group to (A) proceed against Parent, (B) proceed against or exhaust any security (if any) received from Parent or (C) pursue any other right or remedy in the Seller Group’s power whatsoever, (ii) any defense resulting from the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution or other right or remedy of Guarantor against Parent, or any security (if any), (iii) any right to exoneration of sureties which would otherwise be applicable, (iv) any right of subrogation or reimbursement, and (v) any right to be informed of the financial condition of Parent or any change therein or any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor has the ability to and assumes the responsibility for keeping informed of the financial condition of Parent and of other circumstances affecting such nonpayment and nonperformance risks.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Securityholders’ Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Securityholder and his or her successors and assigns, to (i) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (ii) execute and deliver all agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Escrow Agreement; (iii) receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement; (iv) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing; (v) give and receive notices and communications; (vi) engage counsel, and such accountants and other advisors or experts for the Securityholders and incur such other expenses on behalf of the Securityholders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as the Securityholders’ Representative may deem appropriate; and (vii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Securityholders’ Representative on behalf of the Securityholders in connection with this Agreement.

(b) If a Person serving as the Securityholders’ Representative resigns or for any other reason ceases to serve in such capacity, then by written notice to Parent, signed by Securityholders holding (or who held immediately prior to the Effective Time) a majority of the shares of Company Stock determined in a fully diluted basis, a successor Securityholders’ Representative named in such notice will be substituted for the Person who ceased to serve.

(c) By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of the Merger, and the consummation of the Merger or participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each Securityholder grants unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the specific and limited matters described above, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Securityholders’ Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each Securityholder further acknowledges and agrees that, upon execution of this Agreement, with respect to any delivery by the Securityholders’ Representative of any documents executed by the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to this Section 10.1, such Securityholder shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Securityholder had executed and delivered such documents. No bond shall be required of the Securityholders’ Representative, and the Securityholders’ Representative shall receive no compensation for its services other than pursuant to the terms of that certain Securityholders’ Representative Agreement, dated on or about the date hereof, by and among the Securityholders’ Representative, the Company and certain of the Securityholders (the “Securityholders’ Representative Agreement”). Each Securityholder hereby agrees to receive correspondence from the Securityholders’ Representative, including in electronic form.

(d) Each Securityholder acknowledges and agrees that the Securityholders’ Representative shall not be obligated to take any actions and shall be entitled to take such actions as the Securityholders’ Representative deems appropriate in the Securityholders’ Representative’s sole discretion. No Person serving as the Securityholders’ Representative shall have any liability to any Person in connection with any act or omission as the Securityholders’ Representative, except for such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Securityholders’ Representative shall not have any implied duties or obligations. The Securityholders’ Representative may rely upon any instrument which the Securityholders’ Representative in good faith believes to be genuine. The Securityholders’ Representative may consult legal counsel selected by it in the event of any dispute or question relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions or documents contemplated in connection with this Agreement, or in connection with the conduct of the Securityholders’ Representative’s duties. Each Securityholder

- 65 -

further agrees to indemnify and hold the Securityholders’ Representative harmless from and against any loss, liability or expense arising in connection with any act or omission as the Securityholders’ Representative, in each case as such loss, liability or expense is incurred or suffered; provided that in the event it is finally adjudicated that any such loss, liability or expense was primarily caused by the Securityholders’ Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Securityholders’ Representative will reimburse the Securityholders the amount of such indemnified loss, liability or expense attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Securityholders’ Representative by the Securityholders, any such losses, liabilities or expenses may be recovered by the Securityholders’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund and (ii) if the Expense Fund is depleted, the amounts in the Escrow Account otherwise distributable to the Securityholders pursuant to the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement at the time of distribution in accordance with written instructions delivered by the Securityholders’ Representative to the Escrow Agent; provided that while this section allows the Securityholders’ Representative to be paid from the Expense Fund and/or the Escrow Account, this does not relieve the Securityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such losses, liabilities and expenses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Securityholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise.

(e) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative shall constitute a decision of all Securityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Securityholder, Parent, Merger Sub and Company and their respective Affiliates may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Securityholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every Securityholder. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, Company and their respective Affiliates is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of Securityholders’ Representative. In furtherance of the foregoing, any reference to a power of Securityholders under this Agreement, to be exercised or otherwise taken, shall be a power vested in the Securityholders’ Representative.

(f) The Expense Amount shall be held by the Securityholders’ Representative in a segregated client bank account (the “Expense Fund”) and shall be used solely for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Securityholders’ Representative for any third party expenses or other expenses or obligations incurred by or that are the responsibility of the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Securityholders’ Representative Agreement. The Securityholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Securityholders shall not receive interest or other earnings on the Expense Fund and the Securityholders irrevocably transfer and assign to the Securityholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may have in any interest that may accrue on funds held in the Expense Fund. The Securityholders acknowledge that the Securityholders’ Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Securityholders’ Representative shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. As soon as practicable following the expiration of the Escrow Period and the resolution in full of all pending claims against the Escrow Account, if any, under the terms set forth herein, the Securityholders’ Representative shall disburse the balance of the Expense Fund to the Escrow Agent to be disbursed to the Securityholders in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund shall be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Securityholders at the time of Closing.

- 66 -

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought only to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The parties agree that, after a legal dispute is before a court as specified in this Section 10.9, and during the pendency of such dispute before such court, all actions, suits, or proceedings with respect to such dispute or any other dispute, including without limitation, any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 10.9 after the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Laws.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by Law, the parties waive any provision of Law which renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, including counterparts transmitted by facsimile or electronic transmission, each of which will be deemed an original, and it will not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or the terms of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one (1) of such counterparts.

Section 10.13. Enforcement of Certain Rights.

Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended, or will be construed, to confer upon or give any Person other than the parties, and their successors or permitted assigns, any rights, remedies or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or result in such Person being deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement (other than (A) following the Effective Time, the rights of Securityholders to receive payment in accordance with Section 3.3, (B) the right of the Company on behalf of its Securityholders, to pursue damages or equitable remedies in the event of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s breach of this Agreement and (C) the rights conferred on the Indemnified Parties under Article IX and the Indemnified Directors and Officers pursuant to Section 6.10).

Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. A waiver by a party of the performance of any covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty will not be construed as a waiver of any other covenant, agreement, obligation, condition, representation or warranty. A waiver by a party of a condition to Closing will not be considered as a waiver of any rights to indemnification that may be claimed by such party with respect to the matters relating to such waived condition. A waiver by any party of the performance of any act will not constitute a waiver of the performance of any other act or an identical act required to be performed at a later time.

(a) The term “Agreement” means this agreement together with all Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words importing the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa.

The use in this Agreement of the term “including” means “including, without limitation.” The words “herein”, “hereof’, “hereunder”, “hereby”, “hereto”, “hereinafter”, and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, and not to any particular article, section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement. All references to articles, sections, subsections, clauses, paragraphs, schedules and exhibits mean such provisions of this Agreement and the Schedules, Annexes and Exhibits attached to this Agreement, except where otherwise stated. The use herein of the masculine, feminine or neuter forms shall also denote the other forms, as in each case the context may require.

Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule hereto shall not by reason only of such inclusion be deemed to be material and shall not be employed as a point of reference in determining any standard of materiality under this Agreement.
