 14 









	 	(iii)	by the assumption on Closing by the Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities. 


Section 2.06        Purchase Price Adjustment. 

 

	 	(a)	Not later than seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Vendor a statement of the Closing Working Capital, which statement shall be substantially in the form of Section
2.06(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”), and shall set out the Working Capital as at the end of the day on the day prior to the Closing Date (such Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 2.06, referred to as the “Closing Working Capital”). The Vendor shall reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser and its Representatives to the extent required to prepare the Closing Working
Capital Statement. 

  

	 	(b)	During the period from the date the Closing Working Capital Statement is delivered by the Purchaser to the Vendor through the date such statement is finally determined in accordance with the terms of this
Section 2.06, the Purchaser shall cooperate with the Vendor to provide the Vendor with reasonable access to the work papers of the Purchaser relating to the preparation of the Closing Working Capital Statement, and the Purchaser shall make
reasonably available to the Vendor individuals responsible for the preparation of the Closing Working Capital Statement in order to respond to inquiries of the Vendor related thereto. 


 

	 	(c)	If the Vendor notifies the Purchaser that the Vendor agrees with the Closing Working Capital Statement within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof or fails to deliver notice to the Purchaser of its disagreement
therewith within such thirty (30) day period, such Closing Working Capital Statement shall be conclusive and binding on the Vendor and the Purchaser and the parties shall be deemed to have agreed thereto, in the first case, on the date
the Purchaser receives the notice and, in the second case, on such 30th day. If the Vendor disagrees with the Closing Working Capital Statement or the calculation of the Closing Working Capital as set forth therein, then the Vendor shall
notify the Purchaser of its disagreement (the “Dispute Notice”) within such thirty (30) day period together with reasonable particulars of the basis of such dispute, including the Vendor’s position on the amounts in
dispute (and the resulting Vendor position on the amount of the Closing Working Capital). In such event, the Vendor and the Purchaser shall attempt, in good faith, to resolve their differences with respect thereto within thirty (30) days
after the receipt by the Purchaser of the Dispute Notice and make any amendments to the Closing Working Capital Statement as mutually agreed to by the parties. 

  

	 	(d)	 Any dispute over the Closing Working Capital Statement or the calculation of Closing Working Capital as set forth in the
Dispute Notice not resolved by the Purchaser and the Vendor within such thirty (30) day period after receipt of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as the parties may agree) shall be submitted to the Independent Auditor to determine such
dispute, and such determination 



  
 15 









	 	
shall be final and binding on the parties. The Independent Auditor shall allow the Purchaser and the Vendor to present their respective positions regarding the dispute (provided that, for greater
certainty, such presentations are limited to matters described in the Dispute Notice) and each of the Purchaser and the Vendor shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other information, and make an oral presentation to
the Independent Auditor, regarding such dispute and the Independent Auditor shall consider such additional documents, materials and other information and such oral presentation. Any such other documents, materials or other information shall be
copied to each of the Purchaser and the Vendor and each of the Vendor and the Purchaser shall be entitled to attend any such oral presentation. The Independent Auditor shall determine, based solely on such presentations from the Vendor and the
Purchaser and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice and shall render a written report (the “Adjustment Report”) to the Vendor and the Purchaser in which the Independent
Auditor shall, after considering all matters set forth in the Dispute Notice, determine what adjustments, if any, should be made to the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Working Capital. The Adjustment Report shall set forth, in
reasonable detail, the Independent Auditor’s determination with respect to each of the disputed items or amounts specified in the Dispute Notice, and the revisions, if any, to be made to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Closing
Working Capital, together with supporting calculations, and the parties shall make such revisions to the Closing Working Capital Statement, as applicable. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Auditor: (i) shall be bound to the
principles of this Section 2.06 (including Section 2.06(a) of the Disclosure Schedules), (ii) shall limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Dispute Notice, and (iii) shall not assign a value to any item higher than
the highest value for such item claimed by either party or lower than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Auditor to complete its work and render its
determination within thirty (30) days of its engagement. The costs, fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor shall be allocated to and borne by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Vendor, on the other hand, based on the inverse of the
percentage that the Independent Auditor’s determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Independent Auditor. For example, should the items in dispute total in
amount to $1,000 and the Independent Auditor awards $600 in favour of the Purchaser’s position, 60% of the costs of the Independent Auditor’s review would be borne by the Vendor, and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Purchaser.


  

	 	(e)	For greater certainty, each of the Closing Working Capital, Closing Working Capital Statement and Target Working Capital are to be calculated and prepared in a manner consistent, and in accordance with, the indicative
Working Capital calculation set forth in Section 2.06(a) of the Disclosure Schedules. 


  
 16 








 Section 2.07        Payment of Purchase Price Adjustments. 

 

	 	(a)	On the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the Closing Working Capital Statement has been finalized in accordance with Section 2.06 (whether by agreement of the parties, deemed agreement or by
determination made by the Independent Auditor pursuant to Section 2.06(d)), the following payments shall be made: 

  

	 	  (i)	if the Closing Working Capital is equal to or greater than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid the amount of any surplus to the Vendor by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account designated by the Vendor; and 

  

	 	 (ii)	if the Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Vendor shall pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser the amount of such deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to an account designated by the Purchaser, provided that the Purchaser shall, at its option, have recourse to the Escrow Amount to satisfy such deficiency. 

  

	 	(b)	Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made under this Section 2.07 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.


 Section 2.08        Allocation of Purchase Price. 

The Vendor and the Purchaser agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) in
accordance with the principles and categories set forth in the allocation schedule attached hereto as Section 2.08 of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Purchaser and the Vendor agree that the values so
attributed to the Purchased Assets are the respective fair market values thereof, and the Purchaser and the Vendor shall file all Tax returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and elections required or desirable under the Tax Act in
a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 2.06 shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. 

Section 2.09        Third-party Consents. 

To the extent that the Vendor’s rights under any Contract or Permit constituting a Purchased Asset, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to the
Purchaser without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and the Vendor Parties, at
their own expense, shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair the Purchaser’s
rights under such Purchased Asset so that the Purchaser would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, the Vendor, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as the Purchaser’s agent
to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with the Purchaser in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to the Purchaser.

Business Name forming part of the Purchased Assets or any combination or variation of any of the foregoing, including any combination with any other name. From and after Closing, except as provided for herein, neither the Vendor Parties nor any
Affiliate will directly or indirectly use: 


  
 40 








  

	 	  (i)	the words “Sota” or any Business Name forming part of the Purchased Assets; 

  

	 	 (ii)	any trade or service mark, trade, business or domain name, design or logo which was used by the Business or by the Vendor Parties with respect to the Business; or 


 

	 	(iii)	anything which would reasonably be expected to result in confusion with such words, mark, name, design or logo or that is a derivative thereof, forming part of the Purchased Assets. 


 

	(b)	From and after Closing, the Purchaser shall have the sole right to: 

  

	 	  (i)	refer to the Business as Sotawall Inc., Sota Holdings Ltd., Sota Curtainwalls Inc., and/or Sota USA Inc. (or any other Business Name forming part of the Purchased Assets) alone or in combination with other words and to
use such reference in advertising or in the description or name of any service or product purchased, processed or sold by the Purchaser in continuation of the Business; 


 

	 	 (ii)	sell or otherwise use or dispose of any materials with respect to the Business which bear any Business Name alone or in combination with other words if such materials: (A) were included in the Purchased Assets,

 Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirements (based upon the reasonable advice of counsel), no party to this Agreement shall make
any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), and the parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such announcement. 

Section 6.10        Bulk Sales. 

The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario) or section 6 of the Retail Sales Tax Act (Ontario) or
similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser; it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of the Vendor to comply with the
requirements and provisions of the Bulk Sales Act (Ontario) or section 6 of the Retail Sales Tax Act (Ontario) or similar Laws of any jurisdiction which would not otherwise constitute Assumed Liabilities shall be treated as Excluded
Liabilities. 

  
 41

to any Excluded Asset, the Purchaser or its Affiliate shall remit any such funds to the Vendor within five (5) Business Days after its receipt thereof. 

Section 6.12 Tax Matters. 
  

	 	(a)	HST/GST Election. The Purchaser and the Vendor shall jointly make the election provided for under section 167(1) of the HST/GST Act, so that no HST/GST will be payable in respect of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. The Purchaser and the Vendor shall jointly complete the election form (more particularly described as HST-44) in respect of such election, and the Purchaser shall file the completed election
form no later than the due date for the Purchaser’s HST/GST returns for the first reporting period in which HST/GST would, in the absence of this election, become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which
due date is January 31, 2017. Notwithstanding such election and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event it is finally determined by any relevant Governmental Authority, that the Vendor is liable to collect and remit HST/GST in
respect of the sale of the Purchased Assets, the Purchaser shall pay such HST/GST to the Vendor for remittance to the appropriate Governmental Authority and the Purchaser shall indemnify and save the Vendor (and any present or former directors and
officers of the Vendor) harmless with respect to any such Taxes and costs payable resulting from such determination. 

  

	 	(b)	Section 22 Tax Elections. The Vendor and the Purchaser shall, as soon as possible after the Closing Date, jointly execute an election under section 22 of the Tax Act , and under the equivalent
or corresponding provisions of any other applicable provincial or territorial statute, with respect to the sale of the Accounts Receivable and shall designate therein the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Accounts Receivable under
Section 2.08 as consideration paid by Purchaser for the Accounts Receivable. The Vendor and the Purchaser shall each file such elections forthwith after the execution thereof (and, in any event, with their respective Tax returns for the
taxation year in which Closing Date occurs). 

  

	 	(c)	Subsection 20(24) Tax Elections. The Purchaser and the Vendor shall jointly execute and file an election under subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act in the manner required by subsection 20(25) of the Tax Act and under
the equivalent or corresponding provisions of any other applicable provincial or territorial statute, in the prescribed forms and within the time period permitted under the Tax Act and under any other applicable provincial or territorial statute, as
to such amount paid by the Vendor to the Purchaser for assuming future obligations. In this regard, the Purchaser and the Vendor acknowledge that a portion of the Purchased Assets transferred by the Vendor pursuant to this Agreement and having a
value equal to the amount elected under subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any applicable provincial or territorial statute, is being transferred by the Vendor as a payment for the assumption of such future obligations
by the Purchaser. 


  
 42 








  

	 	(d)	The Vendor and the Purchaser agree that no proceeds shall be received or receivable by the Vendor as consideration for entering into any agreement containing non-competition and non-solicitation provisions. The Vendor and the Purchaser also agree that any such agreement is being entered into to maintain or preserve the fair market value of the Business being purchased by the Purchaser.
Furthermore, the Vendor and the Purchaser agree to sign and file an election under paragraph 56.4(7)(g) of the Tax Act and under the equivalent or corresponding provisions of any other applicable provincial or territorial statute. 


 

	 	(e)	The provisions of this Section 6.12 shall apply with respect to any additional Taxes imposed by reason of any indemnity payment under Article VII. 


Section 6.13        Payroll Transition Services 

 

	(a)	The parties acknowledge that the Master Services Agreement between Ceridian Canada Ltd. (“Ceridian”) and the Vendor dated on or about January 15, 2015, as amended (together with any statements or
work executed in connection therewith, the “Ceridian Agreement”), pursuant to which Ceridian agreed to provide to the Vendor payroll processing services for the Employees, is an Assigned Contract. 


 

	(b)	Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.03, the Ceridian Contract shall not be assigned to the Purchaser on the Closing Date, but shall instead be held by the Vendor in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser until
such time that the Purchaser has notified the Vendor that the Purchaser has been enrolled on the Ceridian payroll system (currently anticipated to be on or about January 1, 2017). Immediately following such notice from the Purchaser, and in any
event, no later than February 1, 2017, the Vendor and the Purchaser shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement to effect the assignment of the Ceridian Agreement to the Purchaser (the date of execution of such assignment and
assumption agreement, the “Ceridian Assignment Date”). The Vendor shall comply with the terms of the Ceridian Agreement until such assignment and assumption. 


 

	(c)	From the Closing Date to the Ceridian Assignment Date, all Transferred Employees and Key Employees that have signed a Key Employee Agreement will remain on the Ceridian payroll system administered by the Vendor pursuant
to the Ceridian Agreement. During such period the Vendor shall fund and pay for, on behalf of the Purchaser all: (i) payroll funding and premium costs and taxes associated with Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance, Workplace Safety and
Insurance or Workers’ Compensation premiums, Employer Health Tax and any other remittances required; and (b) services fees or other costs imposed by the Ceridian Agreement in accordance with the Ceridian Agreement (collectively,
“Payroll Costs”), and the Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Vendor for such amounts against delivery by the Vendor of supporting documentation and confirmation of payment. For greater certainty, the Purchaser shall only be
required to reimburse the Vendor for Payroll Costs under the Ceridian Agreement to the extent that such amounts accrue from and after the Closing Date. 


Section 6.14        Further Assurances. 

Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments,
conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Purchaser Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

	 	(d)	any Third-party Claim based upon, resulting from or arising out of the business, operations, properties, assets or obligations of the Vendor Parties or any of their Affiliates (other than the Business, Purchased Assets

 44 








 Section 7.03         Indemnification By the Purchaser. 

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Purchaser shall indemnify and defend each of the Vendor and its Affiliates and their respective

Vendor Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: 
  

	 	(a)	any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Purchaser under this Agreement;

	 	(d)	any Assumed Liability. 

 Section 7.04        Certain Limitations. 

The indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 shall be subject to the following limitations: 

 

	 	(a)	The Vendor Parties shall not be liable to the Purchaser Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 7.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.02(a) exceeds $875,000
(the “Basket”), in which event the Vendor Parties shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first Dollar. The aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Vendor Parties shall be liable under Section 7.02(a)
shall not exceed $25,000,000 (the “Cap”). 

  

	 	(b)	The Purchaser shall not be liable to the Vendor Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 7.03(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.03(a) exceeds the Basket, in

 45 








 Section 7.05        Indemnification Procedures. 

The party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted
under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. 
  

	 	(a)	 Third-party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or
brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the
Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of
notice of such Third-party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defences by
reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall: (i) describe the Third-party Claim in reasonable detail, (ii) include copies of all material written evidence thereof and (iii) indicate the estimated amount, if
reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defence of any
Third-party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall co-operate in good faith in such defence; provided that, if the
Indemnifying Party is a Vendor Party, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defence of any such Third-party Claim that: (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of
the Business, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defence of any Third-party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as
it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counter-claims pertaining to any such Third-party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defence of any
Third-party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defence thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided that, if in the
reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party: (A) there are legal defences available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of
interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified
Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement or fails to
diligently prosecute the defence of such Third-party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to
such Third-party Claim. The Vendor Parties and the Purchaser shall co-operate with each other in all reasonable respects in 



  
 46 









	 	
connection with the defence of any Third-party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.02) records relating to such Third-party Claim and furnishing,
without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the
non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defence of such Third-party Claim. 

  

	 	(b)	Settlement of Third-party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides,
in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party
shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such
Third-party Claim and, in that event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to
assume defence of such Third-party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defence under Section 7.05(a),
it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

  

	 	(c)	 Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-party
Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes
aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defences by
reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall: (i) describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, (ii) include copies of all material written evidence thereof and (iii) indicate the estimated amount, if
reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified
Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim, and the
Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents
or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the




  
 47 









	 	
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms
and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. 

 Section 7.06        Payments. 

Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable under this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations
within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided that, where the Vendor Parties are the Indemnifying Party, during the
term of the Escrow Agreement and until the Escrow Amount is exhausted, such obligations will be satisfied by the Escrow Agent releasing the portion of the Escrow Amount required to satisfy the Loss, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow
Agreement. The parties hereto agree that, except for payments to be made in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any
amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per
annum equal to the Prime Rate. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 366 day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, any Losses finally determined to
be payable to the Purchaser under Section 7.02 shall be satisfied by payment from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement until the Escrow Amount has been exhausted. Any Losses finally determined to be payable to the Purchaser
under Section 7.02 in excess of the Escrow Amount shall be paid by the Vendor Parties, as Indemnifying Party, in accordance with this Section 7.06. The Vendor Parties shall promptly take such steps and execute such directions and documents
to the Escrow Agent as may be required in order to provide for the timely release of the Escrow Amount to satisfy payments to the Purchaser as set out in this Section 7.06. 

Section 7.07        Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. 

All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required
by Law. For greater certainty, any such decrease or increase of the Purchase Price will be allocated among the Purchased Assets to which such payment by the Vendor or the Purchaser, respectively, can reasonably be considered to relate or if such
payment does not reasonably relate to a particular Purchased Asset(s), such decrease or increase will be allocated to the goodwill of the Business. If any payment made by the Vendor Parties or the Purchaser pursuant to this Article VII is
deemed by the HST/GST Act to include HST/GST or is deemed by any applicable provincial or territorial legislation to include a similar value added or multi-staged tax, the amount of such payment shall be increased accordingly. 

Section 7.08        Effect of Investigation. 

The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be
affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have
known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate. 

  
 48 








 Section 7.09        Exclusive Remedies. 

Subject to Section 6.04 and Section 8.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than
claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or wilful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set
forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be under the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted
under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other
parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except under the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.09 shall limit any
Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or wilful misconduct. 

Section 7.10        One Recovery. 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Person shall be entitled to any duplicative payment or recovery under this Agreement. 

Section 7.11        Duty to Mitigate. 

Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any loss which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by the other party of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement, provided that no party shall be required to incur any costs or to institute any legal proceedings in making such efforts. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.01        Expenses. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.

 All
notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the
addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of

If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 8.06        Entire Agreement. 

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained
herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and
those in the other Transaction Documents and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control. 

Section 8.07        Successors and Assigns. 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that, before the Closing Date, Purchaser may, without the prior written consent of the
Vendor Parties, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to one or more of its direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder. 

Section 8.08        No Third-party Beneficiaries. 

Except as provided in Article VII, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing

Section 8.09        Amendment and Modification; Waiver. 

This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions
hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such
written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and

whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

	 	(b)	Any action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby may be brought in the courts of Province of Ontario, and each
party irrevocably submits and agrees to attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such action or proceeding. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the venue of any action or proceeding in such courts and
irrevocably waive and agree not to plead in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 


 

	 	(c)	The parties confirm that it is their express wish that this Agreement, as well as any other documents relating to this Agreement, including notices, schedules and authorizations, have been and shall be drawn in the
