(c)                                  The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements by the Company (and, as applicable, Parent and Opco) do not, and the performance of the Transaction Agreements and of the Contemplated Transactions by the Company (and, as applicable, Parent and Opco) will not, assuming the accuracy of the information provided by Purchaser to Company with respect thereto, (i) require any Consent of, filing with, or notification to, any Person other than a Governmental Body, by Parent, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (ii) require any Consent of, filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Body by Parent, the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, except for such Consents, filings and/or notifications required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, if any, except, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), where failure to obtain such Consent or make such filing or notification would not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse to Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or have a material adverse effect on the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

The Transaction Agreements to which the Purchaser is a party are, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company and the other parties thereto, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(c)                                  The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of the Transaction Agreements to which it is a party do not, and the performance of such Transaction Agreements and of the Contemplated Transactions by the Purchaser will not, require any Consent of, or filing with, or notification to, any Governmental Body or any other Person, except where failure to obtain such Consents, or to make such filings or notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.3                               Investment Representations.

 

(a)                                 The Purchaser is not a “U.S. person” within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or acting for the account or benefit of U.S. persons.

 

(b)                                 The Purchaser acknowledges that it is acquiring the Shares outside the United States in an “offshore transaction” (as defined in Rule 902(h) under Regulation S) in compliance with Regulation S.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION

 

4.1                               Parent and Company Indemnification.  From and after the Closing, Parent, the Company and Opco, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its officers, directors and Affiliates (including any director, officer, employee, agent and controlling person of any of the foregoing) (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Person”) from and against all Damages sustained or incurred by a Purchaser Indemnified Person arising from, relating to or resulting from (i) the breach of the representations and warranties made by Parent and the Company in this Agreement (in each case without giving effect to any materiality, materially adverse or similar qualification contained therein), or (ii)  the breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by the Company in the Certificate of Designations.  “Damages” means all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, costs of investigation, costs of suit and costs of appeal), fines and penalties (other than speculative, remote, treble, exemplary and punitive damages).

 

4.2                               Purchaser Indemnification.  From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors and Affiliates (including any director, officer, employee, agent and controlling person of any of the foregoing) (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”) from and against all Damages sustained or incurred by a Company Indemnified Person arising from, relating to or resulting from (i) the breach of the representations and warranties made by the Purchaser in this Agreement (in each case without giving effect to any materiality or materially adverse event qualifier contained therein) or (ii) the breach of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by the Purchaser in this Agreement.

 

4.3                               Indemnification Procedures.  A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IV unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party.  Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail such claim and shall include (if then known, and if not then known, a reasonable and good faith estimate of) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim and reference to the provision(s) of this Agreement on which such claim is based. In case any such action, suit, claim or proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to hire, at its own expense, separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and conduct the defense thereof, unless the counsel to the Indemnified Party advises such Indemnifying Party in writing

 

10











 

that such claim involves a conflict of interest (other than one of a monetary nature) that would reasonably be expected to make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with respect to any single action or group of related actions). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and each Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent. The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding, (ii) does not impose injunctive or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and (iii) does not require the Indemnified Party to make a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure to act. If an offer is made to settle a pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding, which offer the Indemnifying Party is permitted to settle under this Section 4.3 only upon the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party will give prompt written notice to the Indemnified Party to that effect.  If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within twenty (20) calendar days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer, plus costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Indemnified Party through the date such settlement offer is given to the Indemnified Party and which amount is otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

 

4.4                               Exclusion of Other Remedies.  The parties agree that from and after the Closing the indemnification or reimbursement obligations of the parties set forth in this Article IV shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties for any Damages based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 4.4 will not, however, prevent or limit a cause of action (a) on account of fraud (but not constructive fraud) or (b) under Section 5.10.

 

4.5                               Investigation and Waivers.  The respective representations and warranties of Purchaser and the Company contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document delivered by any party hereto prior to the Closing and the rights to indemnification set forth in this Article IV shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation made by a

 

11











 

party and each party shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of the other party despite such investigation or any knowledge that such party may otherwise have.

 

4.6                               Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.  All indemnification payments under this Article IV shall be treated as adjustments to the Subscription Price for tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

The Company and the Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in relaying to third parties information concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, and shall discuss drafts of all press releases and other releases of information for dissemination to the public pertaining hereto.  However, nothing in this Section 5.2 shall prevent the Company or the Purchaser from furnishing or filing any information to or with any Governmental Body or regulatory authority, insofar as is required by this Agreement or any Legal Requirement, provided that a party which proposes to make such a public disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide the other party with a draft of such information in sufficiently in advance of its release to enable such other party to review such draft and advise that party of any comments it may have with respect thereto.  In particular, the Company agrees that it shall, except as required by any applicable Legal Requirement, obtain consent of the Purchaser to the disclosure of any information regarding the Purchaser to be contained in any news release or other document furnished or filed to or with any Governmental Body, authorized authority or disclosed to the public.

 

12

(b)                                 The Company shall, and shall cause its applicable subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to negotiate amendments with applicable counterparties to those real property leases pursuant to which the Company or its subsidiaries is a lessee and the lessor is or is beneficially owned by one or more current or former officers, directors, managers or equityholders of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Related Real Property Leases”) such that the terms of the Related Real Property Leases (a) provide for terms of no greater than five (5) years from the date hereof, (b) reflect fair market rental rates and other terms and conditions as would appear in an arms’-length transaction and (c) provide an option for the Company or its subsidiary, as applicable, to purchase the underlying real property for fair market value.

 

(c)                                  The Company shall, and shall cause its applicable subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to execute upon all of the cost savings identified in the cost reduction plan provided to CPPIB prior to the date hereof and set forth on Schedule 5.3(c).

Any party hereto may extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts required hereunder, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby or as otherwise contemplated herein.  No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other (or further) exercise thereof or of any other right.

In any action or proceeding between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, each party (1) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States of America, in each case located in the County of New York (and each party agrees not to commence any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby except in such courts), (2) agrees that any service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States registered mail to the address of such party as set forth in Section 5.6 hereof shall be effective service of process for any action or proceeding brought against any party in the courts set forth above, and (3) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in the courts of the State of New York and the United States of America, in each case located in the County of New York, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this section, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

5.8                               Further Assurances.  The parties agree (a) to furnish upon request to each other such further information, (b) to execute and deliver to each other such other documents, and (c) to do such other acts and things, all as the other parties may reasonably request, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement.

 

5.9                               Entire Agreement and Modification.  This Agreement, together with the schedules and annexes hereto, supersedes all prior agreements between the parties solely with respect to its subject matter , and constitutes (along with the documents to be delivered at Closing pursuant to this Agreement) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties solely with respect to its subject matter.  This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by Purchaser and the Company.  The parties hereto make no representations or warranties, express or implied, with respect to the transactions

 

15











 

contemplated by this Agreement except for the express representations and warranties of such party contained in this Agreement.

 

5.10                        Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions contained in this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages would not be sufficient.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without the posting of any bond, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any such party may be entitled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

5.11                        Construction.  The headings of Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and will not affect its construction or interpretation.  All annexes and schedules to this Agreement are incorporated into and constitute an integral part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein.  All words used in this Agreement will be construed to be of such gender or number as the context requires.  The word “including” shall be read as “including but not limited to” and otherwise shall be considered illustrative and non-limiting.  The language used in the Agreement will be construed, in all cases, according to its fair meaning, and not for or against any party hereto.  The parties acknowledge that each party has reviewed this Agreement and that rules of construction, to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party, will not be available in the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

5.12                        Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Legal Requirement or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  Upon such determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to amend or otherwise modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner such that that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

 

5.13                        Binding Effect; Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  All or any portion of the rights and obligations of the Purchaser hereunder may be transferred by the Purchaser to any Affiliate or to any transferee of Shares without the consent of the Company; provided that the Purchaser shall notify the Company in writing prior to any such transfer.  No portion of the rights or obligations of the Purchaser hereunder may be transferred by the Purchaser to a non-Affiliate without the prior written consent of the Company, provided that such consent shall not be required for assignment of the rights and obligations under the Ancillary Agreements.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties.  Except as set forth in Article IV, nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person not a party to this Agreement.

 

5.14                        Restricted Information.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent the Company is permitted to withhold information due to privilege, contractual limitation, Legal Requirement or otherwise, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to provide to the Purchaser, the Purchaser Director or Purchaser’s representatives, as applicable,

(b)                                 The Group Entities will co-operate with the relevant Applicable Entities (to the extent commercially reasonable and provided that one or more of the Applicable Entities agree to reimburse the Group Entities for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by them, if any, in respect of any such cooperation, excluding the cost of acquiring any securities) to assist the Applicable Entities to comply with the 30% Rule in relation to their investment in any Group Entity. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Group Entity agrees to take any action or step reasonably requested by any Applicable Entity, including, without limitation, a change in the authorized capital of a Group Entity, that is necessary to avoid any breach or potential breach of the 30% Rule, or any amendment or replacement of that rule, including, without limitation, any breach or potential breach arising in connection with the potential exercise of any rights of first refusal or first offer, any pre-emptive rights, any right or obligation to transfer or exchange securities (including in connection with but prior to the completion of any Public Offering (including a Qualified IPO) or the issuance of equity securities in any merger or other business combination (including a Qualified Merger), or any option, warrant or other right or obligation to purchase or acquire securities (including upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock purchased hereunder), in each case existing or arising under this Agreement or otherwise in relation to any Group Entity.

(c)                                  The Group Entities agree that they will co-operate with any Applicable Entity (including, for greater certainty, following the completion of an initial Public Offering by the Company (including a Qualified IPO)) and use reasonable efforts to provide such information or certifications as may reasonably be required by the Applicable Entities in the event the Applicable Entities make an application to the Ontario Securities Commission for a discretionary order providing a prospectus exemption from applicable Canadian securities laws to facilitate the resale of Registrable Securities or any securities issued in any merger or other business combination involving the Company (including a Qualified Merger).
