The Company agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold free and harmless the Service Provider and each of its partners, shareholders, members, controlling persons, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, employees and agents and each of the partners, shareholders, members, controlling persons, Affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, employees, agents and professional advisors of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Related Persons” and, together with the Service Provider , the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses (including any expense relating to enforcement of rights and obligations hereunder and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the investigation, settlement and/or defense thereof, including in respect of third party claims), awards or settlements incurred by an Indemnitee (a “Loss”, provided that, for avoidance of doubt, the term “Loss” shall not be deemed to include any diminution in value of the investment by the Service Provider’s affiliated investment funds (including without limitation members of the CPPIB Group and their Affiliates), directly or indirectly, in the Company) before or after the date of this Agreement and arising out of, resulting from, or relating to: (23) this Agreement or the Services provided hereunder, (23) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (23) any advice or other Services provided by the Service Provider to the Company whether before, after or on the date hereof or (23) any indemnities or “hold harmless” obligations entered into by the Service Provider or any of its Related Persons with any auditor, service providers, consultant or other person in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement; provided, that the Company will only be required to indemnify, exonerate and hold free and harmless such Indemnitees from such Losses to the extent that such Losses are attributable to the actions or omissions of or otherwise attributable to the Company; provided further, that the foregoing indemnification rights shall not be available to the extent that (a) any such Losses are incurred as a result of such Indemnitee’s willful misconduct or fraud or (b) subject to the rights of contribution provided for below, to the extent indemnification for any Losses would violate any applicable law or regulation, in each case, as determined by a final non-appealable ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction. In any action, suit or proceeding against any Indemnitee relating to or arising out of, or alleged to relate to or to arise out of, any such action or non-action, the Indemnitee shall have the right jointly to employ, at the expense of the Company, counsel of the Indemnitee’s choice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in such action, suit or proceeding. The indemnification 

5


 


rights contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to any and all other rights, remedies and recourse to which an Indemnitee, its heirs, successors, assignees and administrators are entitled. The indemnification provided in this Agreement will inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assignees and administrators of each of the Indemnitees. If the indemnification provided for above is unavailable in respect of any Losses, then, in lieu of indemnifying an Indemnitee, the Company agrees to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand, and such Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other equitable considerations.
9.    Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability.
(a)    The Service Provider makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, in respect of any of the Services to be rendered by it hereunder. In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable to any member of the Company Group for any act, alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)    In no event will any Indemnitee be liable to any member of the Company Group or to any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents for any indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits or savings, whether or not such damages are foreseeable, or for any third-party claims (whether based in contract, tort or otherwise), relating to the Services to be provided hereunder.
(c)    Each Indemnitee shall have the right to (23) engage or invest in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as any member of the Company Group and (23) conduct business with any client or customer of any member of the Company Group. No Indemnitee shall be liable to any member of the Company Group for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of any such activities.
(d)    In the event that any Indemnitee acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for any member of the Company Group on the one hand, and any Indemnitee, (or another Person, including without limitation, any member of the CPPIB Group, any Affiliate of the Service Provider, any other client of the Indemnitee or investment made by such person or client), on the other hand, no Indemnitee shall have any duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to any member of the Company Group and, notwithstanding any provision hereunder, no Indemnitee shall be liable to any member of the Company Group for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that any Indemnitee directly or indirectly pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to any member of the Company Group.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or if by facsimile, upon written confirmation of receipt by facsimile, (b) on the first Business Day following the date of dispatch if delivered utilizing a next-day service by a recognized next-day courier or (c) on the earlier of confirmed receipt or the fifth Business Day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
