At least three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent all information reasonably requested by Parent which is reasonably necessary to permit Parent to determine the amounts, if any, required to be withheld with respect to employee Tax withholding.

Section 3.14 Interim Large Losses Events.

(a) If there exists any Interim Large Losses Event, the Company shall, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, deliver to Parent a statement (which the Company shall update, if necessary, immediately prior to the Effective Time) (the “Company Interim Large Losses Statement”) setting forth its good faith estimate of the losses to the Group Companies under In-Force Insurance Agreement(s), net of any reinsurance recoverables under any Outbound Reinsurance Agreement(s) and other recoverables and indemnifications, for each Interim Large Losses Event as of the Closing Date calculated in accordance with GAAP and the historical reserving practices of the Group Companies (the “Estimated Large Losses”). The Company Interim Large Losses Statement shall also include: (i) the difference (but not less than zero) between (x) the aggregate amount of the Estimated Large Losses for all Interim Large Losses Events less (y) $25,000,000 (the “Estimated Excess Large Losses”) and (ii) the dollar amount equal to 1.5 times the Estimated Excess Large Losses (the “Escrowed Large Losses”), provided, however, that if such number is greater than zero but less than $20,000,000 (the “Large Losses Escrow Minimum”), the Escrowed Large Losses shall equal the Large Losses Escrow Minimum.

(b) Concurrent with the Effective Time, Parent shall deduct the Escrowed Large Losses from the cash portion of the Closing Payment Amount due to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 3.6 and deposit the Escrowed Large Losses into the Escrow Account, which amount will be segregated and held separate from the Escrow Amount. The Escrowed Large Losses shall be deposited solely in the form of cash. In the event of any such deposit into the Escrow Account, the Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall amend the Escrow Agreement on or prior to the Closing, in such form as agreed to among Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative, to provide for the deposit into, and the release of the Escrowed Large Losses from, the Escrow Account in accordance with this Section 3.14.

(c) Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, or, in the event that the Company Interim Large Losses Statements includes a Natural Catastrophe, within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Representative a statement (the “Closing Interim Large Losses Statement”), together with reasonable supporting documentation therefor, setting forth its determination of the actual losses to the Group Companies under In-Force Insurance Agreement(s), net of any reinsurance recoverables under any Outbound Reinsurance Agreement(s) and other recoverables and indemnifications, for each Interim Large Losses Events as of the Closing Date, calculated in accordance with GAAP and the historical reserving practices (prior to the Closing Date) of the Group Companies, and using the lower of the best estimate and the midpoint of its actuary’s range estimate (the “Re-Estimated Large Losses”). The Closing Interim Large Losses Statement shall also include the difference (but not less than zero) between (i) the aggregate amount of the Re-Estimated Large Losses for all Interim Large Losses Events less (ii) $25,000,000 (the “Excess Large Losses”).

- 28 -

(d) Within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Securityholders’ Representative of the Closing Interim Large Losses Statement, the Securityholders’ Representative shall deliver written notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Parent of any dispute it has with respect to the preparation or content of the Closing Interim Large Losses Statement. Any amount, determination or calculation contained in the Closing Interim Large Losses Statement and not specifically disputed in a timely delivered Objection Notice shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Securityholders’ Representative does not timely deliver an Objection Notice with respect to the Closing Interim Large Losses Statement within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Interim Large Losses Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If an Objection Notice is timely delivered within such thirty (30) day period, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve each dispute raised therein (each, an “Objection”). If Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative, notwithstanding such good faith efforts, fail to resolve any Objections within fifteen (15) days after the Securityholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice, then Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall jointly engage Milliman (the “Actuarial Firm”) to resolve such disputes (acting as an expert and not an arbitrator) in accordance with this Agreement as soon as practicable thereafter (but in any event within thirty (30) days after engagement of the Actuarial Firm). Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall cause the Actuarial Firm to deliver a written report containing its calculation of the disputed Objections (which calculation shall be within the range of dispute between the Closing Interim Large Losses Statement and the Objection Notice) within such thirty (30) day period. All Objections that are resolved between the Parties or are determined by the Actuarial Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The fees and disbursements of the Actuarial Firm shall be allocated to the Securityholders’ Representative in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Actuarial Firm that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Securityholders’ Representative (as finally determined by the Actuarial Firm) bears to the total amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted, if any, and the balance shall be paid by Parent. Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall enter into an engagement letter with the Actuarial Firm promptly after its retention, which includes customary indemnification and other provisions.

(e) Parent shall, and shall cause each Group Company to, make its financial and actuarial records, actuarial personnel and advisors available to the Securityholders’ Representative (including any actuaries or other representatives of the Securityholders’ Representative) and the Actuarial Firm at reasonable times during the review by the Securityholders’ Representative and the Actuarial Firm of, and the resolution of any Objections with respect to, the Closing Interim Large Losses Statement.

(f) Adjustments.

(i) If the Excess Large Losses for all Interim Large Losses Events as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.14(d) (the “Final Excess Large Losses”) exceeds the Estimated Excess Large Losses for such Interim Large Losses Events (the amount of such excess, the “Additional Large Losses”), then within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Final Excess Large Losses are finally determined, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrowed Large Losses (A) a

- 29 -

cash amount to Parent equal to the sum of (1) the Estimated Excess Large Losses plus (2) the Additional Large Losses, provided that if the foregoing sum is greater than the Escrowed Large Losses, the joint written instructions shall provide for the entire Escrowed Large Losses to be disbursed to Parent and (B) an amount to the Paying Agent (for distribution to the Company Equity Securityholders) equal to any remaining Escrowed Large Losses after making the disbursement contemplated by clause (A), it being understood and agreed that upon the release of the remaining portion of the Escrowed Large Losses to the Company Equity Securityholders, each such holder shall be entitled to receive in cash (x) the amount of such remaining portion of the Escrowed Large Losses multiplied by (y) such Company Equity Securityholders’ Pro Rata Portion.

(ii) If the Final Excess Large Losses for all Interim Large Losses Events are less than the Estimated Large Losses for such Interim Large Losses Events (the amount of such deficiency, the “Large Losses Deficiency”), then within three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Final Excess Large Losses are finally determined, Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrowed Large Losses (A) an amount to Parent equal to the difference between (1) the Estimated Excess Large Losses less (2) the Large Losses Deficiency, and (B) an amount to the Paying Agent (for distribution to the Company Equity Securityholders) equal to any remaining Escrowed Large Losses after making the disbursement contemplated by clause (A), it being understood and agreed that upon the release of the remaining portion of the Escrowed Large Losses to the Company Equity Securityholders, each such holder shall be entitled to receive in cash (x) the amount of such remaining portion of the Escrowed Large Losses multiplied by (y) such Company Equity Securityholders’ Pro Rata Portion.

(g) Parent acknowledges and agrees that its recovery from the Escrowed Large Losses in the Escrow Account in accordance with this Section 3.14 shall be its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any Interim Large Losses Events. Parent acknowledges that (i) it has reviewed information relating to the Excluded Large Losses Events and any events that have occurred prior to January 1, 2013 that may be potentially covered under the Insurance Agreements of the Group Companies (the “Pre-2013 Events”), and that it has fully considered such information and factored such information into its Purchase Price (including any potential adverse development in losses and reserves that may result from such Excluded Large Losses Events or Pre-2013 Events), (ii) it has had the opportunity to discuss such Excluded Large Losses Events and Pre-2013 Events with the Company’s management (including its actuarial staff) and to fully review such Excluded Large Losses Events and Pre-2013 Events prior to the date hereof and (iii) except to the extent that Parent or any Parent Indemnitee expressly has any rights under this Agreement with respect thereto by reason of the Company’s representations and warranties in Article IV hereof, Parent shall have no rights under this Agreement, including this Section 3.14, or otherwise with respect to any Excluded Large Losses Events or Pre-2013 Events or with respect to any adverse development in the losses or reserves relating to any such Excluded Large Losses Events or Pre-2013 Events.

Each of Parent, Amalgamation Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain

- 73 -

consents of all Governmental Entities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All costs incurred in connection with obtaining such consents, including the filing fees under the HSR Act and other Antitrust Laws, shall be borne equally by Parent and the Company.

The Company and Parent shall have the right to participate in and shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, receive reasonable prior notice of, all meetings (telephonic or otherwise) of the other party with any insurance regulators in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.5 shall require either Parent or Company to provide or cause to be provided to the other confidential information submitted to any Governmental Entity or the portions of notices or other communications received from or with Governmental Entities relating or referring to confidential information.

- 74 -

(c) In the event any claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding by any Governmental Entity or other Person is commenced which questions the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, Parent, Amalgamation Sub and the Company agree to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to defend against such claim, action, suit, investigation or other proceeding and, if an injunction or other order is issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding, to use reasonable best efforts to have such injunction or other order lifted, and to cooperate reasonably regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.5 or any other section of this Agreement, none of Parent, Amalgamation Sub or any of their Affiliates shall be required to, and the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Parent, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action or refrain from taking any action or agree or commit to any condition, limitation, restriction or requirement of any Governmental Entity (except as set forth in Schedule 6.5) that would materially adversely affect the economic benefits reasonably expected to be derived by Parent under this Agreement or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder (a “Burdensome Condition”); provided that, in the event that a Governmental Entity requires that the terms of this Agreement be changed or altered in a manner that adversely affects any such benefits reasonably expected to be derived hereunder, each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts and cooperate and negotiate in good faith to agree to alternative terms to this Agreement that are acceptable to such Governmental Entity and provide benefits substantially similar to the benefits provided under the original terms thereof.

Section 6.6 Public Announcements. No press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, or prior to the Closing, any other announcement or communication to the employees, clients or suppliers of the Company, shall be issued or made by any Party without the joint approval of Parent, on one hand, and the Securityholders’ Representative, on the other, unless required by Law (in the reasonable opinion of counsel) in which case Parent or the Securityholders’ Representative, as applicable, shall have the right to review such press release, announcement or communication prior to its issuance, distribution or publication; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict or prohibit the Company from making any announcement to its employees, equityholders, customers and other business relations to the extent the Company reasonably determines in good faith that such announcement is necessary or advisable.

(a) Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Group Company, as provided in such Group Company’s Governing Documents or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect and that Parent and the Group Companies on their own behalf, will perform and discharge the Group Companies’ obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and Parent shall, and shall cause the Amalgamated Company to, advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in such Group Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of

- 75 -

the Group Companies’ Governing Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing Date or at any time prior to the Closing Date, were directors, officers, employees or agents of any Group Company, unless such modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) Contemporaneously with the Closing, Parent shall, at its expense, and shall cause the Amalgamated Company to, purchase and maintain in effect, without any lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by any Group Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing that is at least equal to the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided, however, that the Amalgamated Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date and provided further that in no event shall Parent be required to pay more than 250% of the current annual premium payable by the Group Companies for such insurance.

(c) The directors, officers, employees and agents of each Group Company entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 6.7 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7. This Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Company.

Section 6.8 Exclusive Dealing. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall not take, or permit any Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, consultants, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other agents to take, any action to solicit, encourage, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or enter into any agreement with any Person (other than Parent and/or its respective Affiliates) concerning any purchase of any of the Company’s equity securities or any merger, amalgamation, sale of substantial assets or similar transaction involving any Group Company, other than assets sold in the ordinary course of business in accordance with Section 6.1 (each such acquisition transaction, an “Acquisition Transaction”); provided, however, that Parent hereby acknowledges that prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has provided information relating to the Group Companies and has afforded access to, and engaged in discussions with, other Persons in connection with a proposed Acquisition Transaction and that such information, access and discussions could reasonably enable another Person to form a basis for an Acquisition Transaction without any breach by the Company of this Section 6.8.

Section 6.9 Documents and Information.

Parent further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall, and shall cause each Group Company to, grant all Continuing Employees credit for any service with such Group Company earned prior to the Closing Date (i) for eligibility and vesting purposes, and (ii) for purposes of vacation accrual and severance benefit determinations under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement that may be established or maintained by Parent or any Group Company on or after the Closing Date (collectively, the “New Plans”), except as would result in duplication of benefits. In addition, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively at work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by a Continuing Employee under any Company Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, and (y) cause any deductible, co-insurance and covered out-of-pocket expenses paid during the calendar year of the Closing and on or before the Closing Date by any employee (or covered dependent thereof) of any Group Company to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out of pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan in the year of initial participation.

(b) Parent agrees that Parent, through a Parent Group Company or a Group Company group health plan (as defined in Section 4980B of the Code), shall be responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code for all individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9.

- 77 -

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 6.11, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any employee of any Group Company any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific employee benefit, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any New Plan or Company Employee Benefit Plan. Further, this Section 6.11 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.11, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.11.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article 9, from and after the Closing, Parent and/or its respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and/or agents (each a “Parent Indemnitee”) shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless solely out of the Escrow Amount from any actual damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, interest or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (each, a “Loss”) suffered or paid, directly or indirectly, as a result of, in connection with, or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in Article 4 or in any certificate, instrument or agreement delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) any breach by the Securityholders’ Representative of any of the covenants contained herein which are to be performed by the Securityholders’ Representative after the Closing.

(b) From and after the Closing, each Parent Indemnitee and each Group Company shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless solely out of the Escrow Amount from and against the following Taxes including any reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith: (i) any Taxes arising from or related to a breach of any of the covenants and agreements contained in Article 6; (ii) any Taxes imposed on any Group Company with respect to taxable periods ending on or before December 31, 2012; (iii) with respect to taxable periods beginning before December 31, 2012 and ending after December 31, 2012, any Taxes imposed on any Group Company which are allocable, pursuant to this Section 9.2(b), to the portion of such period ending on December 31, 2012; (iv) any Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group (other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) of which any Group Company was a member on or prior to December 31, 2012 imposed on any Group Company by reason of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any comparable provision under state, local or foreign law); and (v) any Taxes of any Person imposed on any Group Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before December 31, 2012. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before December 31, 2012 and ends after December 31, 2012, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the period ending on December 31, 2012 shall be:

(ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of any Group Company, or otherwise measured by the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on December 31, 2012 and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period; and

- 85 -

(iii) in the case of Taxes imposed on the basis of gross premiums, deemed equal to the amount of Taxes that would be payable based upon the amount of premium written as of December 31, 2012.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Article 9, Parent shall, and shall, after the Closing, cause the Amalgamated Company, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company Securityholders and/or their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and/or agents (each a “Securityholder Indemnitee”) from any Loss suffered or paid, directly or indirectly, as a result of, in connection with, or arising out of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Parent or Amalgamation Sub contained in Article 5 or in any certificate, instrument or agreement delivered by or on behalf of Parent or Amalgamation Sub pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) any breach by Parent or the Amalgamated Company of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Parent or the Amalgamated Company after the Closing Date.

No Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified from, defended or held harmless against any Loss pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.2 unless such Parent Indemnitee delivers written notice of its claim for indemnification to the Securityholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 11.2 on or prior to the applicable survival date set forth in Section 9.1. No Securityholder Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified from, defended or held harmless against any Loss pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.2 unless such Securityholder Indemnitee delivers written notice of its claim for indemnification to Parent pursuant to Section 11.2 on or prior to the applicable survival date set forth in Section 9.1.

Section 9.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made by, or an action, proceeding or investigation instituted by, any Person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, after such Indemnified Party learns of the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any delay or failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly and in any event within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

(b) If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof at its own expense with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party). Any such assumption of the defense

- 86 -

thereof shall not be deemed an admission by the Indemnifying Party that the Third Party Claim is within the scope of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not as long as it conducts such defense be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except as otherwise set forth herein. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (i) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (ii) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm to represent the Indemnified Party and, if applicable, local counsel in the jurisdiction in which an action is held. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof.

(c) Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any action giving rise to a Third Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Party obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) All of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and each of Parent and the Securityholders’ Representative (or a duly authorized representative of such Party) shall (and shall cause the Group Companies to) furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Section 9.4 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) The rights of the Parent Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2(a) are subject to the following limitations:

(i) except for Losses arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Company Fundamental Representation or the representations or warranties in Section 4.2 (which shall not be subject to the following limitation), the Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) until the total amount of Losses which the Parent Indemnitees would recover under Section 9.2(a)(i), but for this Section 9.4(a), exceeds $7,000,000, in which case, the Parent Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount;

- 87 -

(ii) except for Losses arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Company Fundamental Representation or the representations or warranties in Section 4.2 (which shall not be subject to the following limitation), the Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover for any particular Loss (including any series of related Losses) pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) unless such Loss (including any series of related Losses) equals or exceeds $100,000; and

(iii) the maximum Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b) shall be the Escrow Amount, and the Escrow Amount shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery with respect to such Losses.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations contained in Section 9.4(a)(i) and Section 9.4(a)(ii) above shall not apply to any claims made pursuant to Section 9.2(b). Any claim reasonably identified by a Parent Indemnitee or a Group Company as a claim made pursuant to Section 9.2(b) shall not be treated as a claim made pursuant to Section 9.2(a).

(b) The rights of the Securityholder Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2(c) are subject to the following limitations:

(i) except for Losses arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Parent Fundamental Representation (which shall not be subject to the following limitation), the Securityholder Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover Losses pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(i) until the total amount of Losses which the Securityholder Indemnitees would recover under Section 9.2(c)(i), but for this Section 9.4(b), exceeds $7,000,000, in which case, the Securityholder Indemnitees shall only be entitled to recover Losses in excess of such amount;

(ii) except for Losses arising from any breach or inaccuracy of any Parent Fundamental Representation (which shall not be subject to the following limitation), the Securityholder Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover for any particular Loss (including any series of related Losses) pursuant to Section 9.2(c)(i) unless such Loss (including any series of related Losses) equals or exceeds $100,000; and

(iii) the maximum Losses indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9.2(c) shall be $46,000,000.

(c) The rights of the Parent Indemnitees or the Securityholder Indemnitees to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2 are subject to the following limitations:

(i) the amount of any and all Losses shall be determined net of any amounts actually received by the Parent Indemnitees or Securityholder Indemnitees, as applicable, under insurance policies or from other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses;

(ii) neither the Parent Indemnitees nor the Securityholder Indemnitees, respectively, shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(c), respectively, for any Loss to the extent that prior to the date hereof the Group Companies or the Parent Group Companies, respectively, recorded a reserve in their consolidated books and records with respect to such Loss; and

- 88 -

(iii) neither the Parent Indemnitees nor the Securityholder Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of any consequential damages (including loss of revenue, income or profits, loss or diminution in value of assets or securities or punitive damages and, in particular, consequential damages calculated by “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or other valuation methodology, and in no case shall any such valuation methodology be used in calculating the amount of any Losses) or punitive, special or exemplary damages.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, on the date that the Escrow Amount is reduced to zero (0), the Parent Indemnitees shall have no further rights to indemnification under Section 9.2(a) and Section 9.2(b). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, on the date that the aggregate amount paid to all Securityholder Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 9 equals the Escrow Amount, the Securityholder Indemnitees shall have no further rights to indemnification under Section 9.2(c). The Parent Indemnitees and the Securityholder Indemnitees shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under any insurance coverage or from any collateral source as referred to in Section 9.4(c)(i). In any case where a Parent Indemnitee recovers, under insurance policies or from other collateral sources, any amount in respect of a matter for which such Parent Indemnitee was indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), such Parent Indemnitee shall promptly pay over to the Escrow Agent for re-inclusion in the Escrow Amount the amount so recovered (after deducting therefrom the amount of the expenses incurred by such Parent Indemnitee in procuring such recovery), but not in excess of the sum of (i) any amount previously so paid out of the Escrow Amount to or on behalf of such Parent Indemnitee in respect of such matter and (ii) any amount expended by the Securityholders’ Representative or any Securityholder Indemnitee in pursuing or defending any claim arising out of such matter.

Section 9.5 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All payments made out of the Escrow Amount to or for the benefit of Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 9 shall be treated as adjustments to the Company Equity Consideration for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law, and such agreed treatment shall govern for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case where a Party seeks to obtain specific performance and/or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 11.15, from and after the Closing the rights of the parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for such parties with respect to any matter in any way arising from or relating to (i) this Agreement or its subject matter or (ii) any other matter relating to any of the Group Companies or Parent Group Companies prior to the Closing, the operation of their respective businesses prior to the Closing, or any other transaction or state of facts involving any of the Group Companies or Parent Group Companies prior to the Closing (including any common law or statutory rights or remedies for environmental, health, or safety matters), in each case regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise, and that the Parent Indemnitees and Securityholder Indemnitees shall have no other remedy or recourse with respect to any of the foregoing other than pursuant to, and subject to the

- 89 -

terms and conditions of, Section 9.2. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Parent Indemnitees, and the Securityholders’ Representative acknowledges and agrees that the Securityholder Indemnitees, may not avoid such limitation on liability by (x) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability, all of which are hereby waived or (y) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement. The Parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification (including this Article 9), and the limits imposed on Parent’s, the Parent Indemnitees’ and the Securityholder Indemnitees’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Section 9.1 and Section 9.2) were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Company Equity Securityholders hereunder. Subject to the foregoing and Section 11.15, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, the parties hereby waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith, whether under any Laws at common law, in equity or otherwise (including with respect to any environmental, health or safety matters, including those arising under any Environmental Laws).

Section 9.7 Manner of Payment; Escrow Release.

(a) Any amounts owing to the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to this Article 9 shall be made solely by disbursement of a portion of the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In no event shall the Parent Indemnitees be entitled to recover an aggregate amount pursuant to this Article 9 in excess of the available portion of the Escrow Amount at any given time.

(b) Any portion of the Escrow Amount released by the Escrow Agent for payment to the Company Equity Securityholders shall be released in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(c) Parent and the Securityholders Representative shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent as necessary to make any distribution from the Escrow Account as necessary to effectuate the release of the Escrow Amount as contemplated by and in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

Section 9.8 Tax Contests.

(a) After the Closing, Parent Indemnitee or Group Company shall promptly notify the Securityholders’ Representative in writing of the commencement of any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding or of any demand or claim on Parent or Group Company which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer, would be grounds for indemnification under this Article 9 (a “Tax Contest”); provided, that any delay or failure to give such prompt notification shall not affect Parent Indemnitee or Group Company’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(b) with respect to such Tax Contest. Such notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to Parent Indemnitee or Group Company) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any taxing authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

- 90 -

(b) In the case of a Tax Contest that relates to (i) a taxable period ending on or before, or that includes, December 31, 2012, or (ii) any matter which could increase any Parent Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified for Taxes (including pursuant to Section 9.2(b) of this Agreement), the Securityholders’ Representative shall have the right to control such Tax Contest; provided, however, that (i) such right to control such Tax Contest shall revert to the Parent Indemnitee if the reasonably expected cost of any settlement or other resolution of such Tax Contest would exceed the available portion of the Escrow Amount, provided that in such case the Parent shall not settle or otherwise resolve such Tax contest without the prior express written consent of the Securityholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (ii) regardless of such right to control such Tax Contest, no settlement or other resolution of such Tax Contest shall be agreed by the Securityholders’ Representative without the prior express written consent of the Parent Indemnitee (which consent should not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such settlement or other resolution would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect any Parent Indemnitee’s or a Group Company’s future tax position.

ARTICLE X

SECURITYHOLDERS’ REPRESENTATIVE

Section 10.1 Appointment of the Securityholders’ Representative.

(a) By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Amalgamation by the Company Shareholders, each Company Equity Securityholder (regardless of whether or not such Company Equity Securityholder votes in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Amalgamation, whether at a meeting or by written consent in lieu thereof) hereby initially appoints, as of the date of this Agreement, the Securityholders’ Representative, as his, her or its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of each Company Equity Securityholder, and authorizes the Securityholders’ Representative to take any and all actions specified in or contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement and take all actions necessary or appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Securityholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Subject to the terms of this Article 10, the Securityholders’ Representative shall take any and all actions that it reasonably believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement for and on behalf of the Company Equity Securityholders, as fully as such Company Equity Securityholders were acting on their own behalf, including in connection with the determination of the Final Excess Large Losses pursuant to Section 3.14 and the investigation, defense and/or settlement of any claims for which any Parent Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to Article 9.

(b) All decisions made and actions taken by the Securityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement, including any agreement between the Securityholders’ Representative and any Parent Indemnitee relating to determination of the Final Excess Large Losses pursuant to Section 3.14 or the defense or settlement of any claims for which any Parent Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to Article 9, shall be binding upon all of the Company Equity Securityholders and their successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of them, and no Company Equity Securityholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the

- 91 -

same. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securityholders’ Representative will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) imposes any material non-monetary obligation on (A) all or substantially all of the Company Equity Securityholders except with the written consent of a majority in interest of the Company Equity Securityholders (based on the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them), provided that any judgment or settlement that imposes injunctive or other equitable relief on any of the Company Equity Securityholders shall require the consent of the Company Equity Securityholders holding at least ninety percent (90%) of the Company Equity Shares (based on the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them), or (B) any specific Company Equity Securityholder or group of related Company Equity Securityholders except with the written consent of such Company Equity Securityholder or Company Equity Securityholders; provided, however, that in the case of either clauses (A) or (B) above, neither the Securityholders’ Representative, Parent nor the Amalgamated Company shall be responsible for any loss of rights under this Agreement or other losses that result from the failure by the Securityholders’ Representative to consent to the entry of any such judgment or enter into any such settlement or (ii) adversely affects in any material respect a particular Company Equity Securityholder on a discriminatory basis as compared to the treatment afforded to all other Company Equity Securityholders without such Company Equity Securityholder’s consent.

(c) The Securityholders’ Representative shall not have any liability to any of the Parties hereto or to the Company Equity Securityholders for any act done or omitted hereunder or otherwise in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder as the Securityholders’ Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment. The Securityholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any of the Parties hereto or to the Company Equity Securityholders for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice. The Company Equity Securityholders shall severally and not jointly, and pro rata in proportion to the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them, indemnify the Securityholders’ Representative and hold him, her or it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Securityholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including any out of pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs incurred by the Securityholders’ Representative; provided that any finding of gross negligence or bad faith shall only be effective if determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Securityholders’ Representative may receive reimbursement directly from the Company Equity Securityholders for such losses, liabilities or expenses; provided, that the Securityholders’ Representative Fund deposited by Parent pursuant to Section 3.13 shall be used in full by the Securityholders’ Representative before the Securityholders’ Representative requests any such reimbursement.

(d) The Securityholders’ Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of the Securityholder Indemnitees to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agency Agreement and to take any and all actions on behalf of, receive and give all notices on behalf of, execute and deliver any and all instruments on behalf of, and execute and deliver or waive any and all rights of, the Securityholder Indemnitees under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agency Agreement. Without limiting the generality or effect

- 92 -

of this Section 10.1(d), any claims or disputes between or among any Parent Indemnitee, the Securityholders’ Representative and/or any one or more Company Equity Securityholders relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall in the case of any claim or dispute asserted by or against or involving any such Company Equity Securityholder (other than any claim against or disputed with the Securityholders’ Representative), be asserted or otherwise addressed solely by the Securityholders’ Representative on behalf of such Company Equity Securityholder (and not by such Company Equity Securityholder acting on its own behalf).

(e) By his, her or its adoption or approval of the Amalgamation, this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agency Agreement, as the case may be, each Company Equity Securityholder agrees, in addition to the foregoing, that:

(i) Any Person, including Parent, Amalgamation Sub, the Amalgamated Company and the Escrow Agent, shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the instructions and decisions of the Securityholders’ Representative as to (x) the determination of, or settlement of any dispute with respect to, the Final Excess Large Losses pursuant to Section 3.14, (y) the settlement of any claims for indemnification by such Person pursuant to Article 9, or (z) any other actions required or permitted to be taken by the Securityholders’ Representative hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement, and no Company Equity Securityholder shall have any cause of action against such Person for any action taken by such Person in reliance upon the instructions or decisions of the Securityholders’ Representative;

(ii) all actions, decisions and instructions of the Securityholders’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon all of the Company Equity Securityholders and no Company Equity Securityholder shall have any cause of action against the Securityholders’ Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Securityholders’ Representative under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agency Agreement, except for fraud or willful misconduct by the Securityholders’ Representative in connection with the matters described in this Section 10.1; and

(iii) the provisions of this Section 10.1 are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall be enforceable notwithstanding any rights or remedies that any Person may have in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(iv) The Person serving as the Securityholders’ Representative may resign upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to Parent, the Escrow Agent and each Company Equity Securityholder. If the then acting Securityholders’ Representative shall give notice of intent to resign, the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Equity Securityholders (based on the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them) shall, by written notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent, appoint a successor Securityholders’ Representative as soon as practicable, and in no event later than thirty (30) days following such notice of intent to resign. In addition, the Person then serving as the Securityholders’ Representative may be replaced from time to time by

- 93 -

the holders of a majority in interest of the Company Equity Securityholders (based on the number of Company Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis held by them) upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Parent, the Escrow Agent and each Company Equity Securityholder. Each successor Securityholders’ Representative shall have all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Securityholders’ Representative, and the term “Securityholders’ Representative” as used herein shall be deemed to include any such successor Securityholders’ Representatives.

Section 11.15 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon any Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, on the understanding that termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d) shall not be deemed “valid” for purposes of this Section 11.15 if the failure of the Closing to occur prior to the date set forth in Section 8.1(d) is solely the

- 99 -

result of the failure by the Party seeking termination to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including Parent’s and Amalgamation Sub’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if it is required to do so hereunder), in each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.

Section 11.16 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP has acted as legal counsel to certain of the Company Securityholders (including First Reserve and its Affiliates) and the Company, its Affiliates and the Group Companies prior to the Closing, and that Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP intends to act as legal counsel to certain of the Company Securityholders (including First Reserve and its Affiliates) after the Closing, each of Parent and the Amalgamated Company (including on behalf of the Group Companies) hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP representing any of the Company Securityholders (including First Reserve and/or its Affiliates) after the Closing as such representation may relate to the transactions contemplated herein. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between any Company Securityholders (including First Reserve and its Affiliates) in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to such Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not the Group Companies). Accordingly, the Group Companies shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP relating to its engagement with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the applicable Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Group Companies shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the applicable Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall hold such property rights and (iii) Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Group Companies by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP and any of the Group Companies or otherwise.
