WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Xxxxxx Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and PowerComm have executed and delivered a letter of intent (the “Letter”) effective June 18, 2009, pursuant to which such parties intend that Xxxxxx or one of its Affiliates (as defined below) purchase the business and assets of Sellers, as more specifically set forth in Section 1.1 below;

WHEREAS, the Letter contemplates the negotiation and execution of three legally binding, written definitive purchase agreements (the “Definitive Agreements”) setting forth the terms and conditions of the sale described in the Letter;

WHEREAS, Parent, Buyer and Sellers intend that this Agreement constitute one of the Definitive Agreements; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises, covenants and agreements set forth herein and in reliance upon the representations and warranties contained herein, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
SALE AND PURCHASE

1.1 Sale and Purchase of Assets. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, Sellers shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), and Buyer shall purchase from Sellers, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, mortgages, pledges, charges, options, rights, security interests, agreements, or claims of any nature whatsoever, recorded or unrecorded, registered or unregistered (individually a “Lien” and collectively the “Liens”) except as set forth on Schedule 1.1A (the “Permitted Liens”), all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to all of Sellers’ properties and assets, wherever located (the “Assets”), including without limitation those properties and assets set forth on Schedule 1.1B of the Disclosure Schedule of even date herewith (all subsequent references herein to any schedule are to the applicable schedule included in the Disclosure Schedule) attached hereto, all assets set forth on

Prior to Closing, Sellers agree to purchase any assets set forth on Schedule 1.1B that are not otherwise owned by any of the Sellers in order to legally sell, assign and convey such Assets to Buyer under this Section 1.1. Schedule 1.1D lists all real property owned by any Seller and conveyed to Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.1 (the “Owned Real Property”). Schedule 1.1E lists all real property leased by any Seller in connection with the Business (the “Leased Property”).

1.2 Purchase Price; Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Purchase Price. In consideration for the sale and assignment by Sellers to Buyer of the Business and the Assets for a purchase price equal to the sum of and paid as follows: (i) the value of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined below) that the Sellers shall assign to Buyer and Buyer shall assume from Sellers, (ii) Buyer shall pay to PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, the aggregate purchase price (the “Initial Purchase Price Payment”) of TWENTY-TWO MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND CANADIAN DOLLARS (CDN$22,800,000.00), less the Escrow Funds (as defined below) and subject to the adjustments set forth in this Section 1.2, (iii) Buyer shall pay to PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, an additional deferred purchase price payment (the “Deferred Purchase Price Payment”) of EIGHT MILLION CANADIAN DOLLARS (CDN$8,000,000.00), subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 1.3 and (iv) Buyer shall deposit THREE MILLION CANADIAN DOLLARS (CDN$3,000,000.00) (“Escrow Funds”) in escrow with Olympia Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Initial Purchase Price Payment and Escrow Funds shall be payable on the Closing Date as follows:

(i) Nineteen Million Eight Hundred Thousand Canadian Dollars (CDN$19,800,000.00) shall be payable to PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, in cash (the “Initial Purchase Price Payment”); and

(ii) Three Million Canadian Dollars (CDN$3,000,000.00) shall be payable to the Escrow Agent to fund the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Net Asset Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate to cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer and Sellers within 60 days following the Closing Date financial statements (the “Final Financial Statements”) audited by PowerComm’s independent public accounting firm, including a balance sheet, reflecting the assets and liabilities of Sellers as of the Closing Date (the “Final Balance Sheet”), a statement of operations (“Final Income Statement”) and a statement of cash flows (“Final Statement of Cash Flows”) for the period from April 1, 2009 through the Closing Date. The Final Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”) applied consistently with PowerComm’s historical financial statements, including without limitation, the percentage-of-completion method. The fees and expenses of the accounting firm in auditing the Final Financial Statements shall be borne by Sellers. The parties will conduct a joint physical closing inventory with the assistance of PowerComm’s independent auditors, which shall count and value the inventory in accordance with Canadian GAAP and as mutually agreed upon by the parties, and which shall be used in the preparation of the Final Financial Statements.

(ii) Upon delivery of the Final Balance Sheet, the Initial Purchase Price Payment will be reduced dollar for dollar to the extent that Net Assets as reflected in the Final Balance Sheet, adjusted to be reduced by the Excluded Assets and adjusted to be increased by all of the liabilities set forth in the Final Balance Sheet and not otherwise Assumed Liabilities (defined below), are less than Fourteen Million Canadian Dollars (CDN$14,000,000.00). If the Initial Purchase Price Payment is decreased pursuant to this Section 1.2(b), PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, shall pay such decrease in cash to Buyer within ten days (unless there is a validly raised dispute related to the financial statements, in which event such dispute will be handled in the manner set forth in subsection 1.3(c) below). “Net Assets” shall mean, as of the date of the Final Balance Sheet, the total assets of the consolidated business of PowerComm, which net assets shall equal: (i) the gross assets of the consolidated business of PowerComm as reflected in the Final Balance Sheet, minus (ii) the gross liabilities of the consolidated business of PowerComm as reflected in the Final Balance Sheet, each as determined in accordance with Canadian GAAP consistently applied throughout the applicable periods. Net Assets may also be impacted by the provisions of the side letter required under Section 7.10(b).

(c) Shareholder Distribution Purchase Price Adjustment. Upon delivery of the Final Financial Statements, the Initial Purchase Price Payment will be reduced dollar for dollar for any Shareholder Distributions (as defined below) reflected (or the effect of which is reflected) in the Final Financial Statements for the period between April 1, 2009 and the Closing Date. If the Initial Purchase Price Payment is decreased pursuant to this Section 1.2(c), PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, shall pay such decrease in cash to Buyer within ten Business Days (as defined below)(unless there is a validly raised dispute related to the financial statements, in which event such dispute will

be handled in the manner set forth in subsection 1.3(c) below). Any amount payable to Buyer by PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, under this Section 1.2(c) shall be in addition to any amounts payable under Section 1.2(b) hereof. “Shareholder Distribution” shall mean any dividends or other distributions declared and/or distributed to any of Seller’s or Subsidiaries’ shareholders, any funding of any pension or life insurance schemes for the benefit of any of Sellers’ shareholders or their estates, any loan repayment or forgiveness or advances to any of Sellers’ shareholders or any equity holders of AWG Ventures Inc. (“AWG”) or any of the following payments which are made not in the ordinary course of business: any bonuses or other compensation paid to employees of Sellers (other than salary at levels consistent with that being paid prior to execution of the Letter), any salary increases to employees of Sellers to the extent of such increase in salary or any payments under Sellers’ benefit plans but shall not include any of the payments set forth on Schedule 1.2C. “Business Day” shall mean any day which is not (i) a Saturday or a Sunday, or (ii) a day on which banking institutions in Edmonton, Alberta are authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close.

(d) Buyer may have all or a portion of the adjustments payable by PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, under subsections (b) and (c) above paid out of the Escrow Funds. If Sellers owe any payments as a result of such adjustments, such payments shall be made first out of the Escrow Funds and any remaining amounts will be paid by Sellers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If and to the extent claims are not made under the Escrow Agreement (whether under the adjustments under subsections (b) and (c) or otherwise), CDN$1,500,000.00 of the Escrow Funds will be remitted to PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, after the determination is made whether any adjustments are due under either subsection (b) or (c) above. In the event that any claim made that impairs the amount remitted under the prior sentence is resolved after such date, the amount so withheld shall be remitted to PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, unless other claims have arisen in excess of CDN$1,500,000.00. CDN$500,000.00 of the remaining Escrow Funds shall remain subject to the Escrow Agreement for claims under this Agreement through the first anniversary date of the Closing Date, assuming no claims have been made under the Escrow Agreement by such date. The remaining Escrow Funds shall remain subject to the Escrow Agreement for claims under this Agreement through the survival period of the representations and warranties set forth under this Agreement. The remaining Escrow Funds will be distributed to PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, at the expiration of such period except to the extent there are any valid claims made under the Escrow Agreement. Any interest paid on the Escrow Funds shall not become part of the Escrow Funds, and any party that receives distributions of Escrow Funds shall receive the interest associated with that portion of the Escrow Funds distributed to such party. If Buyer receives any such interest payment, such interest payment shall not be deemed to be part of the payment owed to Buyer by Sellers. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall share any fees payable to the Escrow Agent equally.

(e) Other than the Deferred Purchase Price Payment (as defined below) and as set forth in Section 1.2(a)-(c), no other consideration, in cash or otherwise, shall be paid or payable to any Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

1.3 Deferred Purchase Price Payment.

(a) Post-Closing Financial Statements. Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer and PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, within 60 days after March 31, 2010 post-closing financial statements (“Post-Closing Financial Statements”) reviewed by Buyer’s independent public accounting firm, including a statement of operations for the year from April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010, reflecting the operations of the Business for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The Post-Closing Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP applied consistently with Sellers’ historical financial statements with the methodology set forth on Schedule 1.3A. The fees and expenses of the accounting firm in reviewing the Post-Closing Financial Statements shall be borne by Buyer.

(b) Deferred Purchase Price Payment. Within ten Business Days of the delivery of the Post-Closing Financial Statements, Buyer shall pay to PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers (or their designees), a payment (if a payment under this Section 1.3(a) is due and assuming there is no validly raised dispute relating to the financial statements under subsection (c) below) equal to the lesser of (i) CDN$8,000,000 or (ii) the amount due based on the following formula:


(Post-Closing EBITDA - Closing EBITDA)	X	CDN$8,000,000
(CDN$8.0 million - Closing EBITDA)

“EBITDA” shall mean earnings of the Business before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

“Post-Closing EBITDA” shall mean EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 based on the Post-Closing Financial Statements with any adjustments to the Post-Closing Financial Statements to make them consistent with the audited financial statements prepared in connection with the Closing with regard to included expenses, including without limitation stock based compensation. Post-Closing EBITDA may also be impacted by the provisions of the side letter required under Section 7.10(b).

“Closing EBITDA” shall mean EBITDA for the period from April 1, 2009 to the Closing Date based on the Final Financial Statements.

(i) The Final Financial Statements will be binding on Buyer and the Post-Closing Financial Statements will be binding on Sellers unless the recipient presents to the preparing party written notice of disagreement within 10 Business Days after receipt of the respective financial statements specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement. Any undisputed amounts will be paid within the time otherwise required by this Agreement.

(ii) The parties will attempt in good faith during the 30 days immediately following receipt of a timely notice of disagreement to resolve any disagreement with respect to the financial statements in question. All reasonable requests for information made by one party to the other will be honored. The recipient and its accountants will be given reasonable access to the books and records of the preparing party that are necessary to confirm the financial statements in question and the underlying details supporting such financial statements. All negotiations pursuant to this subsection are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

(iii) If, at the end of the 30 day period referenced in subsection (c)(ii) above, the parties have not resolved all disagreements with respect to the financial statements in question, then the disputes regarding the amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted to Deloitte & Touche LLP’s Edmonton office (the “Arbitrators”) within ten days after the expiration of the 30 day period referenced in subsection (ii). Each party shall execute, if requested by the Arbitrators, a reasonable engagement letter. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Arbitrators shall be payable pro rata, 50% by Sellers and 50% by Buyer. The Arbitrators shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the provisions of this subsection and the presentations by Buyer and Sellers, and not by independent review, only those issues still in dispute and only as to whether such amounts were arrived at in accordance with this Agreement. The Arbitrators’ determination must be made within 30 days of their selection, must be set forth in a written statement delivered to Buyer and Seller and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If the Arbitrators determine that there was an error in the financial statements in question, then the adjustments as determined by the Arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties such adjustments accordingly made. Either party shall make any cure payments due to the other party as a result of this adjustment promptly taking into account any undisputed amounts previously paid.

1.4 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the consummation of the sale and purchase of the Business and the Assets provided for herein (the “Closing”) shall take place on the next Business Day or as soon as practicable after the favorable vote (i.e. the favorable vote of shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting (as defined below) holding at least 66²/3% of PowerComm’s outstanding common shares) of PowerComm’s shareholders passing the Special Resolution (as defined below) contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing Date”) at the offices of Xxxxxxxx PC, in Houston, Texas, at 9:00 a.m. local time, or at such other place or time upon which Buyer and PowerComm may mutually agree in writing. At the option of the parties to this Agreement, documents to be delivered at the Closing may be delivered to the place of Closing by facsimile transmission or by Personal Document Format (“PDF”) on the Closing Date, and the original documents shall be delivered to the place of Closing on the first business day following the Closing Date. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay the Initial Purchase Price Payment to PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, by wire transfer in immediately available Canadian funds to one or more accounts specified by PowerComm, for itself and on behalf of the other Sellers, in a notice of wire instructions

provided to Buyer within a reasonable time before the Closing Date. Buyer and each Seller shall further deliver or cause to be delivered such other documents, certificates and opinions required to be delivered by such party pursuant to Articles 7 and 8 hereof, and shall provide proof or indication of the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Articles 7 and 8 hereof to the extent such party is required to satisfy or obtain a waiver of such condition.

1.5 Payment or Assumption of Liabilities. Buyer shall assume only those liabilities of the Sellers set forth on Schedule 1.5 (the “Assumed Liabilities”) on the Closing Date and shall in its sole and absolute discretion perform such Assumed Liabilities in accordance with their terms or otherwise arrange for their discharge or satisfaction.

cracks and overall conditions and drill additional boreholes, as required, in and around the building, all with a view to assess the significance of the Potential Impact (the “Lloydminster Further Environmental Diligence Plan”).

5.13 No Solicitation. Each Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives (including any financial advisors, attorneys and auditors) not to, (a) solicit, initiate, facilitate, assist or encourage action by, or discussions with, any person, other than Parent or Buyer, relating to the possible acquisition of any Seller or of all or a material portion of the assets or capital stock of any Seller or Seller subsidiary or any merger, reorganization, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, tender offer, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving any Seller or Subsidiary (an “Alternative Transaction”), (b) participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish information with respect to, any effort or attempt by any person to do or to seek any Alternative Transaction or (c) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PowerComm and its Board of Directors shall be permitted, prior to the date on which PowerComm’s shareholders pass the Special Resolution, to engage in discussions or negotiations with, or provide information to, a person who makes an unsolicited bona fide written proposal for an Alternative Transaction if (and only if) (A) no Seller is in breach of its obligations under this Section 5.13, (B) PowerComm’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor) that the proposal is reasonably likely to lead to an Alternative Transaction more favorable for PowerComm’s shareholders than the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including adjustment to the terms and conditions proposed by Parent or Buyer in response to the proposal for the Alternative Transaction), (C) PowerComm’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the engaging in such negotiations or discussions or the provision of such information is required by the directors’ fiduciary duties under relevant Canadian or provincial law and (D) prior to or concurrently with providing any information or data, the recipient delivers to PowerComm an executed confidentiality agreement with terms substantially similar to those contained in the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) between PowerComm and Parent dated March 11, 2009. PowerComm shall notify Parent and Buyer promptly, and in any case within 24 hours, of any inquiries, proposals or offers received by, any information requested from, or any discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives concerning an Alternative Transaction, indicating, in connection with such notice, the names of the parties and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and, in the case of written materials, providing copies of such materials. PowerComm agrees that it will keep Parent and Buyer informed, on a prompt basis, and in any case within 24 hours of any significant development, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers and the status of any such discussions or negotiations. Upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Seller agrees it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with respect to any potential Alternative Transaction or similar transaction or arrangement and request the return or destruction of all confidential information regarding such Seller previously provided in connection with such activities, discussion or negotiations. Each Seller agrees it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform the individuals or entities referred to in the first sentence of this Section 5.13 of the obligations undertaken in this Section 5.13. Notwithstanding the above, a transaction shall not be deemed an Alternative Transaction for purposes of this Section 5.13 if

it (i) relates to the acquisition or disposition by or of PowerComm for the sole purpose of utilizing the remaining entity as a “public shell” after the Closing Date, (ii) does not interfere with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) is not completed or proposed to be completed prior to the day after the Closing Date and (iv) does not contemplate any vote of PowerComm’s shareholders prior to or concurrent with the Special Resolution relating to this Agreement.

5.14 Employees.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer may in its sole, absolute and unfettered discretion extend offers of employment to all or some of the Employees who are employed by any Seller or Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing Date, subject to any policies of Buyer relating to the hiring of new employees. Buyer expressly reserves for itself the right to evaluate the performance of all new Employees and the staffing level of the Business immediately following their respective hire dates and/or at any point thereafter.

(b) All terms, including benefits, of each offer to such persons shall be at the same rate of pay or salary, with a comparable or better benefits package, and at the same location as was in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. In the event that an Employee does not qualify for a component of the benefits package offered by Buyer, then each Seller and Subsidiary agree, at the expense of Buyer, to cooperate with Buyer to allow such Employee to avail himself of the continuation rights, if any, under Sellers’ or Subsidiary’s benefits package. Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an agreement to assume or be bound by any previous or existing collective bargaining agreement between any Seller or Subsidiary and any representative of the Employees or a guarantee that any Employee to whom an offer of employment may be made shall be entitled to remain in the employment of the Buyer for a specified period of time. For each Employee whom Buyer hires, Buyer shall give credit to such Employee for his or her prior service with a Seller or the Subsidiary, as the case may be as though such service had been provided to Buyer or Parent. An Employee who accepts an offer of employment made by Buyer shall become an employee of Buyer on the day after the Closing Date provided that such Employee timely reports to work for Buyer. Any such Employee who is unable to report to work for Buyer on the Closing Date due to illness, injury or other reason shall remain an employee of such Seller or Subsidiary or until such person reports to work for Buyer, and Buyer may extend an offer of employment to any such Employee, on the terms described above, when such person is able to report to work for Buyer; provided, that such Employee reports to work for Buyer within a reasonable period of time given the applicable circumstances.

(c) Each Seller and Subsidiary covenants to remain solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless with respect to, all salaries, wages, benefits (including accrued or earned vacation), severance arrangements and all other terms of employment accruing at any time for each Employee who does not become an employee of Buyer.

(d) On the Closing Date, each Seller and Subsidiary shall terminate the employment of each Employee. Each Seller and Subsidiary covenants to remain solely responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Buyer harmless with respect to, all salaries, wages, benefits and all other terms of employment for each Employee who becomes an employee of Buyer pursuant to Section 5.14(a) hereof, to the extent accruing prior to the date such person becomes an employee of Buyer and other than obligations included in the Assumed Liabilities.

(e) Each Seller and Subsidiary shall remain liable and Buyer shall not assume or otherwise have any liability or obligation under pension or other Plans of any Seller or Subsidiary.

(f) Each Seller and Subsidiary and Buyer agree to cooperate in providing notice to the Employees of the termination of employment with the Seller or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, in conjunction with the offer of employment to the Employees by Buyer, as herein described, and to issue a joint letter of termination and re-hire to the Employees.

(g) On or before the Closing Date, each Seller and Subsidiary shall have executed and delivered to Buyer, and each Seller and Subsidiary shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain for the benefit of Buyer from each of the Excluded Employees, a general release of all claims in form satisfactory to Buyer; provided, that, “reasonable commercial efforts” for purposes of this subsection (g) only shall not be deemed to require any Seller or Subsidiary to make any payment (other than nominal payments) to any such Excluded Employee to obtain such release.

5.15 Standstill Agreement. Each Seller shall not and shall cause each Subsidiary and each of its and their officers and directors and AWG not to, purchase or sell or enter into any transaction agreeing to purchase or sell, Parent common stock or any derivatives of Parent common stock prior to the Closing.

5.16 Sales Taxes. The Buyer shall pay all federal and provincial sales Taxes payable in connection with the sale, assignment or transfer of the Assets by the Sellers to the Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall claim the benefit of any applicable provision of law that allows all or any part of the Assets to be transferred by the Sellers to the Buyer without the payment of such Taxes.

5.17 GST Election. Each of the Sellers agrees to jointly elect with the Buyer under section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to have subsection 167(1.1) of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) applied to the sale under this Agreement. Buyer will file such elections in the manner and within the time prescribed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada).

5.18 Election in Respect of Accounts Receivable. Each of the Sellers who are transferring accounts receivable hereunder to the Buyer shall jointly execute with the Buyer an election under section 22 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) in the prescribed form, shall designate therein the face value of the accounts receivable transferred and the applicable portion of the Purchase Price as the consideration paid by the Buyer therefor in a manner consistent with the

provisions of this Agreement and shall each file two copies of such election with the CRA with their respective returns for the year of the sale in order to make such election.

5.19 Anti-Corruption Compliance Policy. The appropriate Seller shall cause PowerComm KO LLP to adopt and implement an anti-corruption compliance policy in the form attached as Exhibit B prior to the Closing Date.

5.20 Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable which are in existence at the Closing Date are herein called the “Subject Receivables” and shall be dealt with as follows:

(a) As soon as is reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, Sellers, with such assistance from Buyer as they may reasonably require, will prepare a detailed trial balance of the Subject Receivables and deliver such trial balance to Buyer. With respect to Subject Receivables relating to non-hold back or non-retention contracts, once one hundred and twenty (120) days have elapsed, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a list of the Subject Receivables which are then outstanding in whole or in part and which Buyer wishes to assign to Sellers (the “Uncollected Non-Retention Receivables”), if any. In addition, with respect to Subject Receivables relating to hold back or retention contracts, upon the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days after such accounts receivable have become fully due and payable or (ii) two years from the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a list of such Subject Receivables which are then outstanding in whole or in part and which Buyer wishes to assign to Sellers (the “Uncollected Retention Receivables” and together with the Uncollected Non-Retention Receivables, the “Uncollected Receivables”), if any. At the time of each respective delivery, Buyer shall:

(i) Assign such Uncollected Receivables to Sellers (or their designees) free and clear of all security interests or other encumbrances, pursuant to a form of assignment satisfactory to Sellers’ counsel, acting reasonably; and

(ii) Sellers shall forthwith pay to Buyer an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Uncollected Receivables.

(b) Buyer will provide access, during business hours, to such employees, books and records of the Business as Sellers may reasonably require in order to collect the Uncollected Receivables and shall provide, at Sellers’ expense, copies of such relevant documentation as Sellers may reasonably require in connection therewith. If requested by Sellers, Buyer will provide oral or written confirmation to specific account debtors of the Uncollected Receivables of the assignment of the relevant Uncollected Receivables to Sellers and that payment of the relevant Uncollected Receivables to Sellers shall release the specific account debtor of any liability to Buyer in respect of such Uncollected Receivable. Sellers shall make only such requests of Buyer as are reasonable in order for them to collect the Uncollected Receivables and Sellers shall use their best efforts not to cause any unreasonable disruption to the ongoing business of Buyer in relation to such requests. Should Buyer receive any payments in respect of Uncollected Receivables after they have been assigned to Sellers, Buyer shall forthwith forward such payments to Sellers.

ARTICLE 11
INDEMNIFICATION

11.1 Indemnification of Buyer Indemnitees. Each Seller hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer Indemnitees (as defined below) harmless from and against:

(a) any and all Adverse Consequences resulting from any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of any Seller under the terms of this Agreement or any other Definitive Agreement or any certificate, document or ancillary agreement (excluding the Employment and Non-Competition Agreements) executed and delivered by one party to another party to this Agreement.;

(b) any and all Adverse Consequences suffered or incurred by Parent or Buyer resulting from (i) any Environmental Claim, including without limitation any claim arising under EAPA arising out of the operation of the Facilities, and (ii) any voluntary or involuntary investigation, removal, cleanup and/or remediation of any contaminant present at or arising out of the operation of the Facilities;

(d) any and all Adverse Consequences arising as a result of the ownership of the Business, the Assets and/or the use (including any product manufactured, serviced or installed by any of the Sellers prior to the Closing Date) and operation of the Business and the Assets on or before the Closing Date, including any claim relating to the Business arising or originating out of events occurring at any time on or prior to the Closing Date; and

(e) any and all Adverse Consequences which may be made or brought against Buyer or any director, officer or employee thereof or which Buyer or any director, officer of employee thereof may suffer or incur as a result of, or in respect of or arising out of the Excluded Employees, whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date and whether or not known to Buyer or any Seller or Subsidiary at the time of Closing.

(c) any and all Adverse Consequences arising as a result of the ownership of the Assets and/or the use and operation of the Assets from and after the Closing Date.

11.3 Method of Asserting Claims, Etc. The items listed in Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 are sometimes collectively referred to herein as “Damages”; provided that such reference shall be understood to mean the respective damages from and against which Parent, Buyer and their respective Affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, stockholders, agents and attorneys (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) or each Seller and its respective Affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, agents and attorneys (the “Seller Indemnitees”), as the case may be, are indemnified as the context requires. The person claiming indemnification hereunder, whether a Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, is sometimes referred to as the “Indemnified Party” and the party against whom such claims are asserted hereunder is sometimes referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. All claims for indemnification by an Indemnified Party under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 hereof, as the case may be, shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable for Damages to an Indemnified Party hereunder is overtly asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Third Party Claim is so asserted or sought against the Indemnified Party) notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim enclosing a copy of all papers served, if any, and specifying the nature of and specific basis for such Third Party Claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible, which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim (the “Claim Notice”). For this purpose the commencement of any audit or other investigation respecting Taxes shall constitute a Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to so provide a Claim Notice as provided above shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to any such Third Party Claim except to the extent that a failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party in reasonably sufficient time prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (i) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim and (ii) whether or not the Indemnifying Party desires, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party and that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Article 11, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnifying Party is liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of, and all obligations under, such settlement; otherwise, no such settlement shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party). If the Indemnifying Party

is liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party is hereby authorized, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder or if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense with respect to the Third Party Claim as permitted hereunder), to file during the Notice Period any motion, answer or other pleadings which the Indemnified Party shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Party and not prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party (it being understood and agreed that if an Indemnified Party takes any such action which is prejudicial and conclusively causes a final adjudication which is adverse to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim); and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control (except if the Indemnifying Party is not liable hereunder to the Indemnified Party for the full amount of such Third Party Claim, in which case whichever of the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party is liable for the largest amount of Damages with respect to the Third Party Claim shall control), any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is participating pursuant to this Section 11.3(b), and except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party and that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 11, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly and vigorously prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled. The Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting, or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any person. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3(c), if the Indemnifying Party has timely notified the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party by final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this Section 11.3(c) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request and

the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all costs and expenses of such litigation. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 11.3(c) (other than a dispute as to the Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnified Party) and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation.

(d) If any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim by the Indemnified Party, specifying the nature of and specific basis for such claim and the amount of the estimated amount of such claim (the “Indemnity Notice”). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from delivery of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the amount or estimated amount of such claim as specified by the Indemnified Party shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed such claim, as provided above, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction or as the parties otherwise at such time agree.

11.4 Payment of Indemnity. Any indemnity claim shall be paid in cash by the Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of the appropriate Indemnified Party.

11.5 Adverse Consequences. As used in this Agreement, the term “Adverse Consequences” shall mean actions, claims, causes of action, suits, debts, liabilities, obligations, losses, costs, deficiencies, penalties, fines, interest, expenses and other judgments (at equity or in law) and damages whenever arising or incurred, including without limitation, amounts paid in settlement and all legal fees and expenses on a solicitor and his own client full indemnity basis and any other third party expenses reasonably incurred. In addition, Adverse Consequences shall be deemed to include any Adverse Consequences as such terms are defined in the other Definitive Agreements. Each of the other Definitive Agreements provide that this Article 11 governs for purposes of indemnification.

11.6 Right to Offset. Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law or in equity, to offset any amount owed to any Seller pursuant to this Agreement, by any amount owed to Buyer pursuant to Section 11 or by Buyer’s actual Damages, or good faith estimate of the maximum Damages, for which Buyer has a right of indemnification from the Sellers pursuant to this Section 11 (as applicable). If Buyer exercises its right of offset pursuant to this Section 11.6 and the actual Damages resulting from a Claim are subsequently determined to be less than the amount of estimated maximum Damages in respect of such Claim previously offset, whether due to a settlement or a final, non-appealable judgment, Buyer shall pay to Sellers whose payments were offset the amount by which the actual Damages are less than the amount previously offset in respect of such Claim. “Claim” shall mean a Third Party Claim when Buyer is the Indemnified Party or a claim made by Buyer as the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.3(d).

11.7 Limitations on Liability. The obligations and liability of any Indemnifying Party under this Agreement shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) an Indemnifying Party shall have no liability (subject to any insurance deductibles payable) in connection with any Damages to the extent that such Damages are reimbursed or confirmed as reimbursable with certainty to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnified Party’s insurer;

(b) an Indemnifying Party shall have no liability in connection with any Damages unless the Indemnified Party provides such Indemnifying Party with written notice of such Damages, including, to the extent known, full particulars of the basis therefor, within 25 months of the Closing Date; except for a written notice of such Damages:

(i) involving willful misconduct or fraud in which case there shall be no time limitation;

(ii) arising out of an Environmental Claim in which case shall be done within 61 months of the Closing Date; and

(iii) arising out of or related to Taxes or Tax Returns for any fiscal year in which case shall be done no later than the expiration of the period (if any) during which an assessment , reassessment or other form of recognized document assessing liability for tax, interest or penalties under applicable tax legislation could be issued (or, in the case of such assessment or reassessment, until the issues in dispute have been fully resolved);

(c) an Indemnifying Party shall have no liability in connection with any Damages until the aggregate of such Damages exceeds CDN$100,000 and, upon the aggregate of such Damages exceeding CDN$100,000, such Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify in respect of the amount of all Damages; provided that, the total liability of all Indemnifying Parties in connection with any Damages shall not, in the aggregate, exceed all payments made by Buyer pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 1.3, except that such limitation shall not apply to any Damages resulting from a breach of the representation and warranty provided by Sellers under Section 2.25 and shall not apply to fraud committed by any Indemnifying Party;

(d) each Indemnified Party hereby agrees that, with respect to any loss for which it is entitled to recovery from an Indemnifying Party, it shall use reasonable commercial efforts to mitigate or minimize such loss;

(e) the rights of indemnification contained in this Article 11 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for Damages arising out of this Agreement or any of the Definitive Agreements or documents made or delivered pursuant thereto except for the any payments required by Sellers under Section 12.2 hereof or any rights to injunctive relief as provided under Section 14.7;

(f) the Indemnifying Party shall not have any obligation to make any payment with respect to any Damages for third party claims, unless and only to the extent an Indemnified Party has made a payment in respect of such Damages; provided, that due notice under subsection (d) above preserves any claims under this Agreement; and

(g) for purposes of determining the liability and indemnity obligations under this Agreement, Damages shall be limited to actual damages, and none of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to consequential, punitive, special or similar damages, including damages for lost profit.

ARTICLE 12
TERMINATION

12.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing Date:

(a) by mutual consent of Buyer and PowerComm;

(b) by Buyer, upon notice of termination of their obligation to consummate the transaction delivered to PowerComm, if Buyer has reasonably determined that there has been any material breach of any covenant of any Seller or that any Seller has materially breached any of its or their representations or warranties, stating in particularity the default or defaults on which the notice is based; provided, however, that such Seller shall, after receipt of such notice, have thirty (30) days in which to cure such breach and, if so cured, Buyer shall, for that reason, have no right to terminate this Agreement;

(c) by PowerComm upon notice of termination of its and each other Seller’s obligation to consummate the transaction delivered to Buyer, if PowerComm has reasonably determined that there has been any material breach of any covenant of Buyer or that Buyer has materially breached any of its representations or warranties, stating in particularity the default or defaults on which the notice is based; provided, however, that Buyer shall, after receipt of such notice, have thirty (30) days in which to cure such breach and, if so cured, PowerComm shall, for that reason, have no right to terminate this Agreement;

(d) by Buyer or PowerComm, if the Closing has not occurred on or before December 31, 2009;

(e) by Buyer, if the Special Meeting Materials have not been delivered to PowerComm’s transfer agent for mailing to PowerComm’s shareholders by November 9, 2009;

(f) by Buyer or PowerComm, by written notice to the other, if PowerComm’s shareholders shall not have passed the Special Resolution by December 15, 2009 or if PowerComm’s shareholders have passed the Special Resolution but PowerComm has not closed pursuant to this Agreement within three Business Days after such approval; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.1(f) shall not be available to any party whose breach of a representation or warranty or failure to fulfill any covenant or agreement under this Agreement has been the cause of or has resulted in the failure to (i) receive such shareholder approval on or before such date or (ii) close the transaction as contemplated this Agreement;

(g) by Buyer, by written notice to PowerComm, if PowerComm’s Board of Directors (i) fails to include in the Special Meeting Materials its recommendation that PowerComm’s shareholders pass the Special Resolution, (ii) withdraws, modifies or qualifies its approval of, or its recommendation that its stockholders vote in favor of, such actions or takes any action or makes any statement inconsistent with such approval or recommendation or (iii) adopts resolutions approving or otherwise authorizes or recommends an Alternative Transaction; or

(h) by Buyer in the event that any Seller or any of their directors or representatives takes any of the actions prohibited or restricted by the provisions of Section 5.13 hereof in response to a proposal for an Alternative Transaction.

Notwithstanding the above, this Agreement and the other Definitive Agreements shall be deemed to be terminated simultaneously if one or more of the Definitive Agreements are terminated; provided, that, the parties to this Agreement may mutually agree to complete this Agreement without the completion of either or both of the other two Definitive Agreements. In the event that all of the Definitive Agreements are terminated under the prior sentence, the subsection above which led to the termination of this Agreement will be deemed to be the termination provision for purposes of this Section 12.1 and Section 12.2 below. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (a) or (d) above, such termination shall be without liability of any party, or any director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party, to any other party to this Agreement by Buyer or any Seller, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (b) or (c) above, the rights and remedies granted hereby are cumulative and nonexclusive of any other right or remedy available to the terminating party at law or in equity. The parties agree that the Business and the Assets are unique in character and, if any Seller defaults, damages suffered by Buyer may not be readily ascertainable. Accordingly, each Seller agrees that Buyer, at its option, shall be entitled to the injunctive relief set forth in Section 14.7.

12.2 Termination Fee.

(a) Fee. If this Agreement is terminated by either party pursuant to Section 12.1(f) (provided that Buyer is not in breach or default as contemplated by Sections 12.1(f)(i) or (ii)) or by Buyer pursuant to Section 12.1(e), (g) or (h), then PowerComm shall pay to Buyer or its designee in cash TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND CANADIAN DOLLARS (CDN$2,500,000.00) (the “Fee”); provided, however, that the Fee shall not be owed if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1(f) unless, at the time of such termination, an Alternative Transaction shall have been announced or PowerComm or its shareholders shall have received a proposal for an Alternative Transaction. Buyer and Parent each acknowledge that the payment of the Fee is a payment of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which Buyer and Parent will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and, where applicable, the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. Each Seller irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. Buyer and Parent each agree that the payment of the Fee is the sole monetary remedy of Buyer and Parent in respect of the termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(e), (f), (g) or (h).

PowerComm shall pay the Fee to Buyer or its designee concurrently with the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Payments. Any payments required to be made by PowerComm under this Section 12.2 shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer. PowerComm shall not be obligated to pay more than an aggregate of CDN$2,500,000.00 under this Section 12.2. If PowerComm fails to promptly make such payment and Parent or Buyer commences a suit to collect such payment, each Seller shall indemnify Parent and Buyer for its fees and expenses (including legal fees and expenses on a solicitor and his own client full indemnity basis) incurred in connection with such suit and shall pay Buyer interest on the amount of the payment at the prime rate in effect on the date the payment was payable pursuant to this Section 12.2.

With respect to the matters described in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 14.7, the parties mutually agree that (a) if a violation or threatened violation of any covenant contained in this Agreement occurs by the Sellers, such violation or threatened violation may cause irreparable injury to the Buyer and the remedy at law for any such violation may be inadequate; and (b) the parties further agree that if any Seller violates this Agreement it may be difficult to determine the entire cost, damage or injury which the Buyer would sustain. The parties agree that, upon any such breach or anticipated breach by any Seller, the Buyer shall have the right, in addition to any other rights that may be available to it, to obtain in any court of

competent jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any such breach by any Seller or to compel specific performance (i) by PowerComm of the delivery of the Special Meeting Materials by the date set forth in Section 5.1(b), (ii) by PowerComm to hold the Special Meeting and the vote by PowerComm’s shareholders on the Special Resolution by the date set forth in Section 5.1(b) and (iii) by any Seller to cause such Seller to effect the Closing after the affirmative vote of the PowerComm shareholders approving the Special Resolution. The seeking or obtaining by the Buyer of such injunctive relief shall not foreclose or in any way limit the right of the Buyer to obtain a money judgment against the Sellers for any Damages to the Buyer that may result from any breach by any Seller of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1 and the Fee, if payable, is paid as required by Section 12.2, the injunctive relief provided by this Section 14.7 shall no longer be available.

14.8 Risk of Loss. The risk of any loss, damage, impairment, confiscation or condemnation of the Assets or any part thereof shall be upon each Seller at all times on or before the Closing Date. In any such event, each Seller may either (a) repair, replace or restore any such property as soon as possible after its loss, impairment, confiscation or condemnation, or (b) if insurance proceeds are sufficient to repair, replace or restore the property, pay such proceeds to Buyer; provided, however, that in the event of damage to any substantial portion of the Assets, Buyer may terminate this Agreement with no penalty or liability to such Seller.

14.9 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement or any right or part hereunder shall not be voluntarily assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that Buyer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to a wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiary of Parent; provided, that, if such assignment takes place, Buyer and Parent shall continue to be jointly and severally liable to Sellers for any default in performance by the assignee.

14.10 Expenses. Sellers shall pay their own legal and other professional expenses incurred in connection with the Letter, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the cost of the real property reports and Transfers for the property set forth on Schedule 5.8, and including, without limitation, the expenses of legal counsel and accountants engaged by them and other expenses incurred by any Seller in connection herewith and not expressly allocated hereunder. Buyer shall be responsible for expenses of legal counsel and other representatives and agents engaged by Buyer, the expenses of its due diligence review (including expenses of any building and machinery inspections) and other expenses incurred by Buyer in connection herewith and not expressly allocated hereunder.

14.11 Further Assurances. Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, at any time after the Closing Date, will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any further deeds, assignments, conveyances and other assurances, documents and instruments of transfer, reasonably requested by the other parties and necessary to comply with the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and will take any action consistent with the terms of this Agreement that may reasonably be requested by the other parties for the purpose of assigning, transferring, granting, conveying, vesting and confirming ownership in or to Buyer, or reducing to Buyer’s possession, any or all of the Assets or effecting the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.

14.12 No Third Party Beneficiary. Any agreement to perform any obligation or pay any amount and any assumption of any obligation herein contained, express or implied, shall be only for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns as expressly permitted in this Agreement, and such agreements and assumptions shall not inure to the benefit of any obligee, whomever, it being the intention of the undersigned that no one shall be or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement other than parties that may have a right to indemnification under this Agreement.

14.13 Knowledge of Sellers. For the purposes of this Agreement, language limiting any representation or warranty to the knowledge of Seller or to Seller’s knowledge or similar terminology shall mean to the knowledge of senior management of Seller after due and diligent inquiry of employees of Seller having responsibility in the area of the representation being so qualified.

14.14 Internal Reorganization. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, prior to Closing, PowerComm may, at its sole option, undertake a short-form amalgamation involving one or both of Nextron and Redhill (the “Reorganization”), and shall promptly provide written notice to Buyer of the completion of the same. To the extent the Reorganization is completed, the provisions of this Agreement and all ancillary documentation contemplated by this Agreement will be amended mutatis mutandis to reflect such Reorganization.
