Except as set forth in Schedule 4.11, neither the Improvements nor the operation or maintenance thereof violates any material restrictive covenant, applicable Law, or the terms of any Permit, or encroaches on any property owned by others, where such violation or encroachment would materially adversely affect the value of the Leased Real Property or the operation of the Business.

Each Mortgage encumbering any Leased Real Property and the related non-disturbance agreement is listed in Schedule 4.11(c)(ii).

(c)    On the Closing Date, Buyer and Intasco shall elect jointly under subsection 167(1) of the ETA, and under any similar provision of any applicable provincial Laws, in the form prescribed for the purposes of subsection 167(1) (or the relevant provincial provision), in respect of the sale and transfer of the Purchased Assets hereunder, and Buyer shall file such election with Canada Revenue Agency (and relevant provincial authority) in the

(h)    If GCC is entitled to a refund or reduction of Taxes under subsection 129(1) of the ITA in connection with any dividend paid or deemed to have been paid on the Preference Shares as provided in Section 2.1(iii), GCC will pay to the Buyer by no later than March 31, 2017, the amount of Indemnified Taxes payable by the Purchaser under Part IV of the ITA in connection with such dividend.

(j)    Seller will have the right, at its cost and expense and using the counsel of its choosing, to undertake and control any proceedings or objection or other defence of any assessment or reassessment or proposed assessment or reassessment relating to any Indemnified Taxes that may give rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder, and, in such case,

54


Intasco will pursue any such proceedings or objection or other defence in a timely manner and in good faith. The Buyer will provide to Intasco any information with respect to the Indemnified Taxes as may become available to the Buyer, and the Buyer will cooperate with Seller to the extent reasonably requested in the conduct of all proceedings or objection or other defence relating to any such assessment or reassessment or proposed assessment or reassessment and related inquiries or investigations. While Seller is pursuing any proceeding or objection or other defence relating to any such assessment or reassessment or proposed assessment or reassessment, the Buyer will not have any right to settle any such proceeding or objection or other defence.
(k)    If, within 30 days after having received the notice referred to above, Seller does not notify Buyer that it intends to undertake any proceedings or objection or other defence of any such assessment or reassessment or proposed assessment or reassessment, the Buyer will have the right to undertake and control any proceedings or objection or other defence of the assessment or reassessment or proposed assessment or reassessment using counsel of its own choice. If, pursuant hereto, Seller undertakes any proceedings or objection or other defence of any such assessment or reassessment or proposed assessment or reassessment, the Buyer will be able to cease to defend, settle or otherwise dispose of any such proceeding or objection or other defence without the consent of Seller, provided that the Buyer has consulted with Intasco with respect to such proposed cessation, settlement or other disposition.

To the extent that the Buyer becomes entitled to a refund or reduction of Indemnified Taxes, the Buyer will promptly (and, in any event, within 30 days of the time that the receipt of such refund or becoming aware of such reduction) pay the amount of such refunded Indemnified Taxes to the Buyer. The Buyer will take all reasonable steps and give all reasonable assistance to mitigate any Indemnified Taxes, including, without limitation, making any elections under the ITA or any applicable provincial income tax legislation, provided that the Buyer will not be required to declare or pay any dividend to reduce refundable Taxes payable by it under Part IV of the ITA.
(m)    Subsections 6.11(j), (k) and (l) shall apply to all Taxes other than U.S. federal, state and local Taxes.

Prior to or after the filing of any such Tax Return, the Buyer may provide to the Seller Representative a statement (a “Tax Due Statement”) setting forth the amount of Taxes shown on such Straddle Tax Return that is the responsibility of the Seller pursuant to Section 6.17(g). Within five (5) days of receiving a Tax Due Statement, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer the amount of Taxes shown as due on the Pre-Closing Tax Return and the amount of Taxes set forth on the Tax Due Statement applicable to such Straddle Tax Return that is the responsibility of the Seller pursuant to Section 6.17(g).

Such assistance shall include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of material provided hereunder and shall include providing copies of relevant tax returns and supporting material. The party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the assisting party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing assistance.

Each party further agrees, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax (including any U.S. Transfer Tax) that could be imposed on any such party (or its Affiliates), including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(i)    With respect to any Tax Contest for a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date with respect to Intasco USA, Seller shall have the right to control and defend against such Tax Contest with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer if (A) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, such Tax Contest is not in the good faith judgment of the Seller Representative likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the ongoing Tax position of the Buyer Indemnitees, and (B) the Seller Representative continuously conducts the defense of such Tax Contest actively and diligently; provided that so long as the Seller Representative is conducting the defense of the Tax Contest in accordance with this Section 6.17(e)(i), (X) the Buyer may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Tax Contest, and (Y) the Seller Representative will not settle or consent to the entry of any order, ruling, decision, or other similar determination or finding with respect to such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).
(ii)    With respect to any a Tax Contest for a Straddle Period or a Tax Contest with respect to Intasco USA for which any condition in Section 6.17(e)(i) is or becomes unsatisfied, the Buyer will have the right to control and defend against such Tax Contest with counsel of its choice; provided that so long as the Buyer is conducting the defense of such Tax Contest in accordance with this Section 6.17(e)(ii), (A) the Seller Representative may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Tax Contest and assume joint control of such Tax Contest with the Buyer with respect to any Tax items in such Tax Contest for which the Seller would be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement for the resulting Tax liability, and (B) the Buyer will not settle or consent to the entry of any order, ruling, decision, or other similar determination or finding with respect to any Tax items in such Tax Contest for which Seller would be required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement for the resulting Tax liability without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(f)    All United States federal, state and local and other United States transfers, sales, use, excise, value added, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation, registration, real estate transfer, or similar Taxes, charges, or fees applicable to, imposed upon or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“U.S. Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne 50% by the Seller and 50% by the Buyer. The party primarily or customarily responsible for filing the applicable Tax Return with respect to an applicable U.S. Transfer Tax (the “Filing Party”) shall prepare and timely file (taking into account any valid extensions), or cause to be prepared and timely filed (taking into account any valid extensions), such Tax Return, and the Filing Party shall make timely payment (taking into account any valid extensions) of such U.S. Transfer Taxes set forth on such Tax Return, subject to reimbursement from Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, of its share of such U.S. Transfer Taxes as set forth in the prior sentence within five (5) days after receiving written notice from the Filing Party that such U.S. Transfer

59


Taxes were paid. Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in the preparation of any necessary Tax Returns and other related documentation with respect to Transfer Taxes. Seller and the Buyer agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any U.S. Transfer Taxes.
(g)    For purposes of Section 6.17(c) the portion of Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period that are allocated to the Seller for the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined as follows:
(i)    In the case of any real property, personal property, ad valorem and similar Taxes (“Property Tax”), the amount of such Property Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Property Tax for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period ending on and including the day before the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of total days in the entire Straddle Period.
(ii)    In the case of any Tax that is based on income, sales, revenue, production or similar items, or other Taxes not described in Section 6.17(g)(i), the amount any such Tax that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date (i.e., the amount that would be payable for the portion of the Straddle Period determined as if Intasco USA filed a Tax Return for the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the end of the Closing Date); provided, that the amount of any exemptions, allowances, or deductions determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions) that shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of such exemptions, allowances, or deductions by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period ending on and including the day before the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of total days in the entire Straddle Period.
(h)    All Tax sharing, Tax allocation agreement, Tax indemnity, or any similar written or unwritten agreement, arrangement, understanding, or practice relating to Taxes involving Intasco USA shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, Intasco USA shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.
6.18    Bulk Sales Act Waiver and Indemnity. Buyer hereby waives compliance by Seller under the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario) in connection with the sale by Seller to Buyer of the Purchased Assets, and Seller hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify and save harmless Buyer from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by Buyer as a result of or arising from the failure of Seller to comply with the requirements of such legislation in respect of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets, save and except to the extent that any such claim arises by virtue of the non-payment of any Assumed Liabilities.

(b)    The aggregate maximum liability of the Seller (inclusive of amounts recovered by the Buyer Indemnitees from the Escrow Account) for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3(a) shall be $4,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap shall not apply to Losses incurred by Buyer Indemnitees based upon any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Excluded Representations, Section 4.9 or Sections 4.14, 4.22 or 4.29 or based upon any breach of Section 6.13 or any claim for Indemnified Taxes.

66

9.6    Procedures.
(a)    Notice of Losses by Seller Indemnitees. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, as soon as reasonably practicable after a Seller Indemnitee reasonably believes in good faith that he or it has, or based on facts or circumstances then in existence reasonably believes in good faith that he or it will have, a claim for indemnification under this Article IX (a “Seller Claim”), the Seller Representative shall give written notice thereof (a “Seller Claims Notice”) to Buyer. A Seller Claims Notice must describe a Seller Claim in reasonable detail, and indicate the amount (estimated, as necessary) of the Loss that has been or is reasonably expected to be suffered by the applicable Seller Indemnitee. No delay in or failure to give a Seller Claims Notice by the Seller Representative to Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.6(a) shall adversely affect the applicable Seller Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent Buyer is materially prejudiced thereby. Buyer shall respond to the Seller Representative (a “Claim Response”) within thirty (30) days (the “Response Period”) after the date that a Seller Claims Notice is received by Buyer. Any Claim Response must specify whether or not Buyer disputes Seller Claim described in Seller Claims Notice. If Buyer fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, Buyer shall be deemed not to dispute the Seller Claim described in the related Seller Claims Notice. If Buyer elects not to dispute a Seller Claim described in a Seller Claims Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response or otherwise, then the amount of Losses alleged in such Seller Claims Notice shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of Buyer, and Buyer shall pay, in cash, to the Seller Representative within five (5) days after the last day of the applicable Response Period the amount specified in Seller Claims Notice. If Buyer delivers a Claim Response within the Response Period indicating that it disputes one or more of the matters identified in Seller Claims Notice, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly meet and use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are able to reach agreement with respect to all or any portion of Losses, within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Response Period, the amount of Losses, if any, agreed upon shall conclusively be deemed an obligation of Buyer, and Buyer shall pay in cash to the Seller Representative within five (5) days of such agreement the amount of Losses so agreed upon. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the Response Period, then either Buyer or the Seller Representative may commence an Action to seek resolution of such Seller Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX.
(b)    Notice of Losses by Buyer Indemnitees. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, as soon as reasonably practicable after a Buyer Indemnitee reasonably believes in good faith that he, she or it has, or based on facts or circumstances then in existence

67


reasonably believes in good faith that he, she or it will have, a claim for indemnification under this Article IX (a “Buyer Claim”), Buyer shall give written notice thereof (a “Buyer Claims Notice” and, together with a Seller Claims Notice, a “Notice”) to the Seller Representative. A Buyer Claims Notice must describe a Buyer Claim in reasonable detail and indicate the amount (estimated, as necessary) of the Loss that has been or is reasonably expected to be suffered by the applicable Buyer Indemnitee, all to the extent known. No delay in or failure to give a Buyer Claims Notice by Buyer to the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 9.6(b) shall adversely affect the applicable Buyer Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent Seller is materially prejudiced thereby. If Buyer has not received from the Seller Representative notice in writing that the Seller Representative objects to Buyer Claim (or the amount of Losses set forth in Buyer Claims Notice) asserted in such Buyer Claims Notice (a “Dispute Notice”) by the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by the Seller Representative of Buyer Claims Notice (the “Dispute Period”), then the amount of Losses alleged in such Buyer Claims Notice shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of Seller, and Buyer and the Seller Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to, and the Escrow Agent shall, pay to Buyer from the Escrow Account the amount of Losses specified in Buyer Claims Notice subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX. If (i) such Buyer Claims Notice is delivered to the Seller Representative after the Representation Termination Date with respect to claims which survive such date, or (ii) to the extent such Buyer Claims Notice contemplates Losses in excess of Escrow Funds then available in the Escrow Account (after giving effect to any other pending claims under this Article IX and after deduction from such amount of any pending or potential claims under Section 2.4), and if, during the Dispute Period, Buyer has not received from the Seller Representative a Dispute Notice, then the amount of Losses alleged in such Buyer Claims Notice in excess of amounts, if any, payable from Escrow Funds shall be deemed to be a joint and general obligation of each Seller, and Buyer may recover such amount from any Seller in the aggregate in cash, within five (5) days of Buyer’s request, subject to the limitations contained in this Article IX.
(c)    Resolution of Buyer Claims. If the Seller Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer within the Dispute Period, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall promptly meet and use their reasonable efforts to settle the dispute. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are able to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives such Dispute Notice, and to the extent the amount of the Escrow Funds (after giving effect to any other pending claims under this Article IX and after deduction from such amount of any pending or potential claims under Section 2.4) equal or exceed the amount of the Losses agreed to be paid with respect to Buyer Claims Notice, then Buyer and the Seller Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent setting forth such agreement and instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to Buyer such amount from the Escrow Account. To the extent the amount of such agreed upon Losses exceeds the amount of the Escrow Funds (after giving effect to any other pending claims under this Article IX and after deduction from such amount of any pending or potential claims under Section 2.4) then available in the Escrow Account, then such excess shall be deemed to be a joint and several obligation of each Seller, and Buyer may recover from any Seller in the aggregate such excess amount in cash, within five (5) days of Buyer’s request, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX. If Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives any Dispute Notice, then

68


either Buyer or the Seller Representative (in the names and for the benefit of each Seller) may commence an Action to seek resolution of such Buyer Claim, and to be paid amounts due hereunder, as provided herein, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX. For all purposes of this Article IX, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall cooperate with and make available to the other party and its representatives all information, records and data, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the resolution of such disputes.
(d)    Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. In the event of any claim by a third party against a Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee for which indemnification is available hereunder, the Seller Representative, if indemnification of Buyer Indemnitees is available, or Buyer, if indemnification of Seller Indemnitees is available (each an “Indemnifying Party”), has the right, exercisable by written notice to Buyer or the Seller Representative, as applicable, within sixty (60) days of receipt of a Notice from Buyer or the Seller Representative, as applicable, to assume and conduct the defense of such claim (in the names of, and for the benefit of, the Indemnified Party) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be permitted to assume or conduct the defense of any claim if the Indemnified Party is also a party to the Action, there is a conflict of interest between the positions of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in conducting the defense of such claims such that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have determined in good faith that such different or additional defenses would make it inappropriate for the Indemnifying Party to assume or conduct the defense of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Party reasonably determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an Action to defend a third party claim may adversely affect him, her or its or his, her or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages for which he, she or it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the right to defend, compromise or settle such Action, but the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by any determination of an Action so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense, to participate in the defense of the third party claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed such defense as provided in this Section 9.6(d), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such claim; provided, that if there is a conflict of interest between the positions of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in conducting the defense of such claims such that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have determined in good faith that such different or additional defenses would make it inappropriate for one counsel to represent both parties, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnifying Party’s cost, risk and expense, to retain one firm of separate counsel of his, her or its own choosing (along with any required local counsel) to participate in the defense of the third party claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost and expense, participate in the investigation, trial and

69


defense of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this Section 9.6(d) within fourteen (14) days after delivery of a Buyer Claims Notice in connection with any such claim, the Indemnified Party may defend such claim at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall not consent to a settlement of any such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim, shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief adversely affecting the Indemnified Party, (ii) includes a finding or admission of a violation of Law or the rights of any third party or which would otherwise form the basis of liability to any third party or (iii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. In any such third party claim, the party responsible for the defense of such claim (the “Responsible Party”) shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, keep such other party informed as to the status of such claim, including, without limitation, all settlement negotiations and offers.
(e)    Releases from the Escrow Account. The funds held under the Escrow Agreement shall be released in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
9.7    Effect of Investigations and Knowledge.
(a)    Notwithstanding any investigation or other review conducted or capable of being conducted, or any information received or knowledge obtained or capable of being obtained, prior to and/or after the execution of this Agreement or the Closing Date, from or by or on behalf of any party or other Person, except to the extent set forth in Section 6.7(c), (i) all representations and warranties made by each party in this Agreement or in any Related Document shall survive the Closing, subject only to Section 9.1, and (ii) Buyer shall be entitled to rely upon the representations and warranties, covenants and other provisions set forth herein and therein.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of Section 9.7(a), except to the extent set forth in Section 6.7(c), the parties confirm and agree that any actual knowledge learned of any inaccuracy in any actual or deemed representation or of any breach or any actual or deemed warranty as of the Agreement Date and/or at any time thereafter to the Closing Date (whether by reason of any updating of information contained in the Schedules attached hereto or otherwise) shall not in any manner reduce, limit, impair or otherwise affect the right to indemnification under this Agreement. The preceding sentence shall apply whether or not the inaccuracy or breach and/or the facts relating thereto are disclosed orally or otherwise. Accordingly, no party shall have the right to assert or shall assert defenses such as estoppel, non-reliance and waiver, in connection with the matters described in Section 9.7(a) or in this Section 9.7(b), except to the extent provided in Section 6.5(c) hereof. Buyer’s knowledge as of the Agreement Date and/or the Closing Date shall not in any respect reduce, limit, impair or otherwise affect any of the

70


rights of Buyer Indemnitees to be indemnified, defended and held harmless, pursuant to Sections 9.3(b) through (e).
(c)    If the Closing occurs then, for all purposes of this Article IX, the representations and warranties contained in (i) Article IV by Seller shall conclusively be deemed to have been made again at the Closing except that those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date, other than the Agreement Date or the Closing Date, must be true and correct as of such date by them without any further writing, and (ii) in Article V, by Buyer shall conclusively be deemed to have been made again at the Closing by it without any further writing, in each case, except as set forth in Section 6.7(c), without giving effect to any disclosure made, orally or otherwise, with respect to any inaccuracy of breach of any actual or deemed representation or warranty.
9.8    Additional Indemnification Provisions.
(a)    Each party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any party should breach its covenants under this Agreement, the parties each acknowledge that it would be impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the nonbreaching party or parties, in addition to any other available rights or remedies they may have under the terms of this Agreement, may xxx in equity for specific performance, and each party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.
(b)    All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law.
(c)    The parties hereto hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a claim is brought against any Buyer Indemnitee for purposes of any claim that any Buyer Indemnitee may have under this Agreement with respect to such claim or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on them with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.
(d)    The waiver of any condition shall not in any manner affect any right to indemnification provided by this Agreement, including waivers relating to the accuracy of any representations or warranties or the performance or observance of any covenant or other agreement.
(e)    The provisions of this Article IX shall be enforceable regardless of the basis on which Liability is asserted, including strict liability.
(f)    If any remediation or other cleanup (collectively, “Cleanup”) at any Real Property is required and Seller is responsible in whole or part therefor under this Article IX, then (i) such Cleanup shall be performed so as to minimize any suspension, interference or other disruption of Buyer’s operations (and any Losses relating to any such suspension, interference or other disruption of such operations, whether or not so minimized, shall also be indemnified by Seller), and (ii) Buyer shall have the right to approve the detailed plan to effect the Cleanup, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, including the Persons who will perform the Cleanup,

71


and the Cleanup shall not be initiated without Buyer’s prior written consent, provided that Seller shall have no obligation to effect any Cleanup beyond that required by Law except to the extent any Cleanup is also the subject of any representation or warranty hereunder.

MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL
10.1    Seller’s Representative.
(a)    The Seller Representative is hereby constituted and appointed as agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller Representative has full power and authority, on behalf of each Seller and its, his or her successors and assigns, to (i) interpret the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Related Documents, (ii) execute and deliver and receive deliveries of all agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions, waivers, undertakings, amendments and other documents required or permitted to be given in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents, (iii) receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement, the Related Documents or the Escrow Agreement, (iv) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of such claims, assume the defense of claims, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Seller Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, (v) make any payment or pay any expenses under or in connection with this Agreement and any Related Document, (vi) give and receive notices and communications, (vii) authorize delivery to any Buyer Indemnitee of the Escrow Funds or any portion thereof, (viii) object to such deliveries, (ix) distribute the Escrow Funds and any earnings and proceeds thereon, and (x) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Seller Representative on any Seller in connection with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, including, without limitation, entering into amendments hereof and thereof.
(b)    The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Seller for any act done or omitted under this Agreement as Seller Representative while acting in good faith, and any act taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith.
(c)    From and after the Closing Date, Buyer and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Seller Representative on all matters pertaining to the rights and obligations of Seller (and each of them) under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative constitutes a decision of each Seller. Such decision, act, consent or instruction is final, binding and conclusive upon each Seller and the Escrow Agent may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Notices or communications to or from the Seller Representative shall constitute notice to or from each Seller for all purposes of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. If the Seller Representative shall die, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his

72


responsibilities hereunder, then the Seller by [majority vote] shall promptly appoint a successor to the Seller Representative. In addition, the Seller (including the Seller Representative) may replace the Seller Representative from time to time pursuant to a written consent executed by Combe. Any successor to the Seller Representative shall become the “Seller Representative” for all purposes under this Agreement, effective upon written notice given to Buyer and the other parties hereto.
10.2    Expenses. Except as set forth in this Agreement, all costs and expenses (including all legal, accounting, broker, finder or investment banker fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are to be paid, in the case of Seller or the Seller Representative, by Seller, and in the case of Buyer, by Buyer.
10.3    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder are assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided that (a) Buyer shall have the right to collaterally assign its rights under this Agreement as security in connection with any financing incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) Buyer shall have the right to assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate. For purposes hereof, successors and assigns shall include any beneficiaries of any trust that is an Equity Holder or any other Person to which distributions are made by any such trust (all such beneficiaries or other Person to which distributions are made to be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the Equity Holder making such distribution to the extent of such distributions) including if the trust making such distribution is not terminated, dissolved or liquidated in connection with such distribution or otherwise.
10.4    Third Party Beneficiaries. Each party hereto intends that this Agreement does not benefit or create any right or cause of action in or on behalf of any Person other than the parties hereto and, for purposes of Article IX, the Seller Indemnitees and the Buyer Indemnitees.
10.5    Notices. Any notice or other communication provided for herein or given hereunder to a party hereto must be in writing and sent by facsimile transmission (electronically confirmed), delivered in person, mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or sent by Federal Express or other overnight courier of national reputation, addressed as follows:

Any agreement to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the Seller Representative and Buyer.
10.10    Governing Law; Forum.
(a)    This Agreement and, except to the extent otherwise provided in any Related Document, each Related Document, is to be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its rules of conflict of laws other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.
(b)    Any Action brought by any party or any of its Affiliates arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement or, except to the extent provided in any Related Document, any Related Document may only be instituted in a federal or state court in New York County, New York, and each party waives any claim or objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and agrees not to assert that venue should properly lie in any other location. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Canadian dollars into US Dollars then the parties agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures, any party could purchase US dollars with Canadian dollars at the buying spot rate of exchange in the New York foreign exchange market on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.
(c)    Each party hereby (i) consents to service of process in any Action between or among the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement or any Related Document in any manner permitted by New York law, (ii) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (i) or made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 10.5 above, shall constitute good and valid service of process in any such Action, and (iii) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise) in any such Action any claim that service of process made in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) does not constitute good and valid service of process.
10.11    Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER

75


SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT AND THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
10.12    Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
10.13    Schedules. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Schedules to this Agreement or any cover page thereto, to the extent any one or more provisions in any Schedule conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement (including this Section 10.13) the provisions of this Section 10.13 and the other provisions of this Agreement shall control (including, without limitation, that no effect shall be given to any purported materiality or knowledge qualifications in any of the Schedules).
10.14    Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of any party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.
10.15    Joint Drafting. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other agreements and documents to be executed by the parties in connection herewith. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the other agreements and documents to be executed by the parties hereto in connection herewith shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement and the other agreements and documents to be executed by the parties in connection with this Agreement.
10.16    Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognize and affirm that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to enforce its rights and the breaching party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security).

76


10.17    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and counterpart signature pages may be delivered by PDF format, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute but one instrument.
10.18    Confidentiality. From and after the Closing Date, Seller shall maintain in strict confidence, and not, directly or indirectly, use, disclose or otherwise exploit any of the Confidential Information to any Person, except to pursue its rights under this Agreement or the Related Documents. In the event that Seller is required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek, at its expense, an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.18. Upon the request and at the expense of Buyer, Seller shall assist Buyer in obtaining such protective order. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder Seller is compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any Governmental Authority or else stand liable for contempt, Seller may disclose the Confidential Information to the Governmental Authority; provided, however, that Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the request, and at the expense, of Buyer, an Order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate. As used herein, “Confidential Information” shall mean any nonpublic or confidential information relating to Buyer its Affiliates, the Products or the Business, except to the extent that such information shall have become public knowledge other than through improper disclosure by the Seller.
