PHOTOWATT ASSETS

which transfers are to occur prior to or concurrent with completion of the Offering as contemplated
by the Separation Agreements, each Party will enter into the Separation Agreements other than this

	 	(a)	 	If any Party discovers after the Separation Time that a member of the ATS Group
has title to, or an interest in, a Photowatt Asset or a member of the Photowatt Group
has title to, or an interest in, an ATS Asset (in either case, a “Non-Transferred
Asset”), each Party shall (and shall cause the applicable member(s) of its Group to)
cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transfer such title or
interest to the appropriate Party (or another member of its Group designated by it),
including obtaining any necessary consents or approvals or taking any other actions
necessary to effect such transfers.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If an attempted assignment of a Non-Transferred Asset would be ineffective or
would impair the rights of the Party entitled to such asset with respect to such
Non-Transferred Asset so that such Party (or its applicable Group Member) would not
receive all such rights, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide to, or cause to be provided to, such Party (or its applicable Group Member), to
the extent permitted by Law, rights related to such Non-Transferred Asset and take such
other actions as may reasonably be requested by such Party in order to place it,
insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Non-Transferred Asset
had been transferred as contemplated hereby. In connection therewith, (i) the Party
with title to or an interest in such asset (or its applicable Group Member) shall
promptly pass along to the Party entitled to such asset (or its applicable Group
Member) when received all benefits derived with respect to any such Non-Transferred
Asset, and (ii) the Party entitled to such asset (or its applicable Group Member) shall
pay, perform and discharge on behalf of the other Party (or its applicable Group
Member) all of the obligations with respect to any such Non-Transferred Asset in a
timely




- 10 -









 






	 	 	 	manner and in accordance with the terms thereof. If and when such transfer may be
effected without impairing the rights of the Party entitled to such asset, the
Parties shall take appropriate steps to effect transfer of such Non-Transferred
Asset.

the Photowatt Group) acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in the Separation

is,” “where is” basis, and (c) the applicable member of the Photowatt Group shall bear the economic

ARTICLE 4

MATTERS RELATING TO A SPIN-OFF




4.1 Spin-Off.




	 	(a)	 	ATS has the right, but not the obligation, following the consummation of the
Offering, to effect one or more Spin-Offs. ATS shall (in its sole and absolute
discretion) determine whether to effect a Spin-Off and, if so, the date of its
consummation and all of its terms, including (a) the form, structure and terms of any
transactions(s) and/or offerings(s) to effect the Spin-Off; (b) the timing of and
conditions to the consummation of the Spin-Off; (c) the selection of any investment
banker(s) and manager(s); and (d) the selection of any financial printer, solicitation
and/or exchange agent and financial, legal, accounting and other advisors. In addition,
ATS may, at any time and from time to time until the completion of a Spin-Off, modify
or change the terms of such a Spin-Off, including by accelerating or delaying the
timing of the consummation of all or part of such a Spin-Off. At the request of ATS,
Photowatt shall cooperate with ATS in all respects to accomplish a Spin-Off and shall,
at the direction of ATS, promptly take any and all actions necessary or desirable to
effect a Spin-Off, including, to the extent necessary: (i) all actions required to be
undertaken by Photowatt in connection with an amalgamation of Photowatt with either an
Affiliate of ATS or a corporation whose shareholders and shareholdings are the same as
the shareholders and shareholdings of ATS (in either case, an “Amalco”), that does not
result in an adverse “material change” (as defined under Canadian




- 11 -









 






	 	 	 	Securities Laws) to the Photowatt Group, including preparing and delivering a notice
of a meeting of holders of Photowatt Shares and soliciting votes in favour of any
such amalgamation, which may be specified by ATS, on terms to be specified by ATS
(acting reasonably); and (ii) the registration under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act of the Photowatt Common Shares distributed by ATS on an appropriate
registration form or forms, the filing of all required documents with Canadian
provincial and territorial securities regulatory authorities (the “Canadian
Authorities”) and the SEC, including a prospectus prepared in accordance with
Canadian Securities Laws and the Securities Act and an application for relief from
the Canadian Authorities and the SEC in respect of prospectus or registration
requirements otherwise applicable, in any case to ensure that the Photowatt Common
Shares are not subject to resale restrictions under Canadian Securities Laws (except
those restrictions which may be applicable to control block holders) and the
Securities Act. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Photowatt from engaging (at
its own expense) its own financial, legal, accounting and other advisors in
connection with a Spin-Off.






	 	(b)	 	ATS will not effect a Spin-Off involving an amalgamation of Photowatt with an
Amalco unless ATS has obtained an advance tax ruling from the Canada Revenue Agency
reasonably acceptable to the board of directors of ATS, to the effect that any dividend
received by the Amalco will not be deemed under 55(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)
not to be a dividend received by the Amalco.





4.2 Actions Prior to a Spin-Off. In connection with a Spin-Off, the Parties shall take one
or more of the applicable actions set forth in this Section 4.2.




	 	(a)	 	ATS and Photowatt shall prepare and mail, prior to the effective date of the
Spin-Off, to the holders of ATS Common Shares, such information concerning Photowatt
and the Spin-Off and such other matters as ATS reasonably determines and as may be
required by Law. The Parties shall prepare, and Photowatt shall, to the extent required
by applicable Law, file with the SEC and Canadian Authorities any such documentation
that ATS determines is necessary or desirable to effect the Spin-Off, and each Party
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary approvals from the
SEC and Canadian Authorities with respect thereto as soon as practicable.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Photowatt shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such action as
may be necessary or desirable under applicable state securities and blue sky Laws of
the United States (and any comparable Laws under any foreign jurisdiction) in
connection with the Spin-Off.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Photowatt shall prepare, file and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek
to make effective, an application for listing of the Photowatt Common Shares to be
distributed in the Spin-Off on The Nasdaq Global Market and the Toronto Stock Exchange,
subject in each case to official notice of issuance.




- 12 -









 






	 	(d)	 	Photowatt shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such other
actions (or refrain from any actions) reasonably requested by ATS in connection with
the Spin-Off.





4.3 Stockholder-Related Matters Regarding a Spin-Off. With respect to a Spin-Off and
subject to Section 4.3(d):




	 	(a)	 	Distribution. For the purpose of this Section 4.3, the
contemplated distribution of Photowatt Common Shares owned by ATS to record holders of
ATS Common Shares entitled to receive Photowatt Common Shares in connection with the
Spin-Off may take place directly or indirectly, by way of a single step or a series of
one or more intermediate steps, including one or more distributions of shares of one or
more Affiliates of ATS.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Distribution Agent. On or prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off,
ATS shall deliver to a distribution agent to be appointed by ATS (the “Distribution
Agent”) for the benefit of holders of record of ATS Common Shares on the Record Date,
documentation reasonably required by the Photowatt Transfer Agent, representing all of
the outstanding Photowatt Common Shares then owned by ATS to be distributed pursuant to
the Spin-Off and ATS shall instruct the Distribution Agent to deliver to the Photowatt
Transfer Agent true, correct and complete copies of the share and transfer records
reflecting the record holders of ATS Common Shares entitled to receive Photowatt Common
Shares in connection with the Spin-Off. ATS shall cause its transfer agent to instruct
the Distribution Agent to distribute on the effective date of the Spin-Off or as soon
as reasonably practicable thereafter, directly or indirectly, by way of a single step
or a series of one or more intermediate steps, the appropriate number of Photowatt
Common Shares to each such record holder or designated transferee(s) of such record
holder. ATS shall (and shall instruct the Distribution Agent to) cooperate with
Photowatt and the Photowatt Transfer Agent, and Photowatt shall (and shall instruct the
Photowatt Transfer Agent to) cooperate with ATS and the Distribution Agent, in
connection with all aspects of the Spin-Off and all other matters relating to the
issuance and delivery or certificates representing, or other evidence of ownership of,
the Photowatt Common Shares to be distributed to the holders of ATS Common Shares in
connection with the Spin-Off.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Number of Spin-Off Shares. Each record holder of ATS Common Shares on
the Record Date (or such record holder’s designated transferee(s)) shall be entitled to
receive in the Spin-Off, directly or indirectly, by way of a single step or a series of
one or more intermediate steps, a number of Photowatt Common Shares equal to the number
of ATS Common Shares held by such record holder on the Record Date, multiplied by a
fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of Photowatt Common Shares to be
distributed by ATS pursuant to Section 4.3(a) and (ii) the denominator of which
is the number of ATS Common Shares outstanding on the Record Date. If the Spin-Off
consists of more than one class of Photowatt Common Shares, each record holder of ATS
Common Shares shall




- 13 -









 






	 	 	 	receive Photowatt Common Shares of each class, calculated as provided above, except
that the calculation shall be performed separately for each such class.






	 	(d)	 	Rights of Holders of Spin-Off Shares. After the Spin-Off, until such
Photowatt Common Shares are duly registered in the names of the record holders of ATS
Common Shares entitled to receive Photowatt Common Shares in connection with the
Spin-Off, in accordance with applicable Law, Photowatt shall regard the Persons
entitled to receive such Photowatt Common Shares as record holders of Photowatt Common
Shares in accordance with the terms of the Spin-Off without requiring any action on the
part of such Persons. Photowatt agrees that, subject to any transfers of such Photowatt
Common Shares, (i) each such record holder shall be entitled to receive all dividends
payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect
to, the Photowatt Common Shares then held by such record holder, and (ii) each such
record holder shall be entitled, without any action on the part of such record holder,
to receive one or more certificates representing, or other evidence of ownership of,
the Photowatt Common Shares then held by such record holder.
	 
	 	(e)	 	Other Transactions. If ATS determines (in its sole discretion) to
effect the separation or other disposition of the Photowatt Common Shares held by it
through a transaction other than a Spin-Off (whether by means of a plan of arrangement,
split off, a share exchange or otherwise), Photowatt shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to take all actions (or refrain from any actions) reasonably requested by ATS
in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 6

ACCESS TO AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION




6.1 Restrictions on Disclosure of Information.




	 	(a)	 	Generally. Without limiting any rights or obligations under any other
existing or future agreement between the Parties and/or any other members of their
respective Group relating to confidentiality, each Party shall, and each Party shall
cause its respective Group members and its Representatives to, hold in strict
confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to ATS confidential and
proprietary Information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Separation Time, and
use only for the Designated Purposes, all confidential and proprietary Information
concerning the other Group that is either in its possession as of the Separation Time
or furnished by the other Group or its respective Representatives at any time pursuant
to this Agreement, any other Separation Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby (including Information relating to employee benefit or compensation
plans, proprietary software and computer programs, and business records).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party, its respective Group members and each of
their respective Representatives may disclose such Information to the extent that such
Person can demonstrate that such Information is or was (i) in the public domain other
than by the breach of this Agreement or by breach of any other agreement between or
among the Parties and/or any of their respective Group members relating to
confidentiality, or (ii) lawfully acquired from a third Person on a non-confidential
basis or independently developed by, or on behalf of, such Person by Persons who do not




- 15 -









 






	 	 	 	have use of any such Information. Each Party shall maintain, and shall cause its
respective Group members and Representatives to maintain, policies and procedures,
and develop such further policies and procedures as shall from time to time become
necessary or appropriate, to ensure compliance with this Section 6.1.






	 	(b)	 	Non-Disclosure of Third Person Information by Photowatt. Photowatt
acknowledges that it and other members of the Photowatt Group may have in its or their
possession confidential or proprietary Information of third Persons that was received
under a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement between a member of the ATS Group
and such third Person prior to the Separation Time. Photowatt shall (and shall cause
its respective Group members and Representatives to) hold in strict confidence and
restrict the use of the confidential and proprietary Information of third Persons to
which any member of the Photowatt Group has access, in accordance with the terms of any
agreements entered into prior to the Separation Time between members of the ATS Group
(whether acting through, on behalf of, or in connection with, the Photowatt Business or
otherwise) and such third Persons.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Non-Disclosure of Third Person Information by ATS. ATS acknowledges
that it and other members of the ATS Group may have in its or their possession
confidential or proprietary Information of third Persons that was received under a
confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement between a member of the Photowatt Group and
such third Person prior to the Separation Time. ATS shall (and shall cause its
respective Group members and Representatives to) hold in strict confidence and restrict
the use of the confidential and proprietary Information of third Persons to which any
member of the ATS Group has access, in accordance with the terms of any agreements
entered into prior to the Separation Time between members of the Photowatt Group and
such third Persons.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Disclosure of Confidential Information with a Group. Once confidential
Information has been disclosed to a Group, the members of such Group may disclose it to
their individual employees who are engaged directly in the Designated Purposes. Such
Group members may also disclose such confidential Information to its Representatives.
Such Group members shall advise each recipient of the confidential nature of such
confidential Information, and shall instruct each such recipient to comply with the
confidentiality obligations contained herein; and the Party responsible for such Group
member shall be responsible for the failure of any such recipient to do so. Upon a
Party’s request, the Party receiving confidential Information shall require its
recipients of such Information to sign an agreement of confidentiality and
nondisclosure satisfactory to the requesting Party. The obligations of the receiving
Party with respect to such recipient apply regardless of whether such recipient is an
employee of such Party.





6.2 Legally Required Disclosure of Information. If either Party or any of its respective
Group members or Representatives becomes legally required to disclose any Information (the
“Disclosing Party”) that it is otherwise obligated to hold in strict confidence pursuant to
Section 6.1, such Party shall promptly notify the Person that owns or has a duty not



- 16 -









 







to disclose the Information (the “Owning Party”) and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts
to cooperate with the Owning Party so that the Owning Party may seek a protective order or other
appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with this Section 6.2. All expenses reasonably
incurred by the Disclosing Party in seeking a protective order or other remedy shall be borne by
the Owning Party. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or if the Owning Party
waives compliance with this Section 6.2, the Disclosing Party shall (a) disclose only that
portion of the Information that its legal counsel advises it is compelled to disclose or otherwise
stand liable for contempt or suffer other similar significant corporate censure or penalty, (b) use
all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance requested by the Owning Party that
confidential treatment shall be accorded such Information, and (c) promptly provide the Owning
Party with a copy of the Information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed,
together with a list of all Persons to whom such Information was disclosed.



6.3 Access to Information. During the Retention Period, each Party shall (and shall cause
its respective Group members and Representatives to) cooperate with and afford to the other Party
reasonable access upon reasonable advance written request to all Information (other than
Information that is (a) protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege or work product
doctrine, (b) business sensitive from the perspective of any aspect of the Photowatt Business that
is competitive in a material respect with one or more aspects of the ATS Business, (c) the subject
of a confidentiality agreement between such Party and a third Person that prohibits disclosure to
the other Party, or (d) prohibited from disclosure under applicable Law) owned by such Party or one
of its Group members or within such Party’s or any of its respective Group member’s or
Representative’s possession that is created prior to the Spin-Off Date and that relates to the
business, assets or liabilities of the requesting Party (the “Requestor”), and such access is
reasonably required by the Requestor (i) to comply with requirements imposed on the Requestor by
any Governmental Authority, (ii) for use in any proceeding (except for a litigation matter between
the Parties or any of their respective Group members), (iii) to satisfy audit, accounting, Tax or
similar requirements, (iv) to obtain insurance, or (v) to comply with the Requestor’s obligations
under this Agreement or any other Separation Agreement. As used in this Agreement, “access” shall
mean the obligation of a Party in possession of Information (the “Possessor”) requested by the
Requestor to exert its commercially reasonable efforts to locate all requested Information that is
owned and/or possessed by Possessor or any of its respective Group members or Representatives. The
Possessor, at its own expense, shall conduct a diligent search designed to identify all requested
Information and shall collect all such Information for inspection by the Requestor during normal
business hours at the Possessor’s place of business. Subject to such confidentiality and/or
security obligations as the Possessor may reasonably deem necessary, the Requestor may have all
requested Information duplicated at Requestor’s expense. Alternatively, the Possessor may choose to
deliver, at the Requestor’s expense, all requested Information to the Requestor in the form
requested by the Requestor. The Possessor shall notify the Requestor in writing at the time of
delivery if such Information is to be returned to the Possessor. In such case, the Requestor shall
return such Information when no longer needed to the Possessor at the Possessor’s expense. In
connection with providing Information pursuant to this Section 6.3, each Party shall, upon
the request of the other Party and upon reasonable advance notice, make available during normal
business hours its respective employees (and those employees of its respective Group members and
Representatives, as applicable) to the extent that they are reasonably necessary to discuss and
explain all requested Information with and to the Requestor.



- 17 -









 





6.4 Record Retention. Photowatt shall (and shall cause each of its other Group members to)
adopt and comply with a prudent record retention policy with respect to Information owned by or in
the possession of the Photowatt Group and created prior to the Spin-Off Date that is no less
stringent than the ATS record retention policy in effect as of the Separation Time or as ATS may
modify such policy between the Separation Time and the Spin-Off Date, provided that ATS notifies
Photowatt of any such modifications. In any event, such record retention policy will require
Photowatt to retain Information owned by or in the possession of the Photowatt Group and created
prior to the Spin-Off Date for a period of not less than seven years. Each Party shall, at its sole
cost and expense, preserve and retain all Information in its respective possession or control that
the other Party has the right to access pursuant to Section 6.3 or that it is required to
preserve and retain in accordance with such record retention policy or for any longer period as may
be required by (a) any Governmental Authority, (b) any litigation matter, (c) applicable Law, or
(d) any Separation Agreement (as applicable, the “Retention Period”). If either Party wishes to
dispose of any Information that it is obligated to retain under this Section 6.4 prior to
the expiration of the Retention Period, then that Party shall first provide 45 days’ written notice
to the other Party, and the other Party shall have the right, at its option but at the expense of
the Party that desires to dispose of such Information, upon prior written notice within such 45-day
period, to take possession of such Information within 90 days after the date of the notice provided
pursuant to this Section 6.4. Written notice of intent to dispose of such Information shall
include a description of the Information in detail sufficient to allow the other Party to
reasonably assess its potential need to retain such materials.



6.5 Production of Witnesses. For seven years after the Separation Time, each Party shall
(and shall cause each of its respective Group members to) use commercially reasonable efforts to
make available to each other, upon written request, its past and present Representatives as
witnesses to the extent that any such Representatives may reasonably be required (giving
consideration to the business demands upon such Representatives) in connection with any legal,
administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting Party may from time to time be
involved.



6.6 Reimbursement. Unless otherwise provided in this Article 6, each Party
providing access to Information or witnesses to the other Party pursuant to Sections 6.3,
6.4 or 6.5 shall be entitled to receive from the receiving Party, upon the
presentation of invoices therefor, payment for all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(excluding allocated compensation, salary and overhead expenses) as may be reasonably incurred in
providing such Information or witnesses.



6.7 Other Agreements Regarding Access to Information. The rights and obligations of the
Parties under this Article 6 are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or
additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth
in this Agreement or any other Separation Agreement.



6.8 Acquisition of Photowatt by Another Person. If Photowatt enters into an agreement with
a third Person to directly or indirectly sell all or any portion of the Photowatt Business (other
than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), together with the
Information related thereto, whether pursuant to a share or asset sale, merger or otherwise, ATS
shall have the right to duplicate any Information held by Photowatt that relates to



- 18 -









 





(a) the Photowatt Business as conducted through the Spin-Off Date (or the date of the disposition
to such third Person if a Spin-Off has not occurred), (b) the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Separation Agreements, and (c) the Financial Statements and any Information
relating thereto included in financial statements of ATS. Photowatt shall, in connection with any
such disposition (x) provide ATS not less than 20 days’ written notice prior to the consummation of
such disposition, and (y) not disclose any Information of ATS or relating to the ATS Business to
such third Person without the express written consent of ATS (which may be withheld in its absolute
and sole discretion). In addition, ATS shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require
Photowatt to destroy or return to ATS all or any portion of such Information of or relating to the
ATS Business prior to such disposition. If ATS enters into an agreement with a third Person to sell
all or any portion of the ATS Business, ATS shall not in connection with any such disposition
disclose any Information of Photowatt or relating to the Photowatt Business to such third Person
without the express written consent of Photowatt (which may be withheld in its absolute and sole
discretion).



ARTICLE 7

guarantees, sureties, bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments or are the primary obligors
on other agreements, in any such case to support or facilitate the Existing Photowatt Business or
the Photowatt Business (the “Business Guarantees”). It is understood that none of such Business
Guarantees shall continue after the Separation Time. On or as promptly as practicable following
the date hereof, but in no event later than the Separation Time, Photowatt shall obtain
replacements for such Business Guarantees or will either terminate the business transactions or
programs of the member of the Photowatt Group supported or facilitated by such Business Guarantees
or arrange for itself or one of its Affiliates to be substituted as the primary obligor thereto
(collectively, the “Substitute Guarantees”).

utilization of the rights granted under this agreement; or (ii) that there is any
warranty other than as expressly described herein.

	 	(h)	 	Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that the ATS Solar Automation
Know-How, whether written or unwritten, is considered secret, confidential and
proprietary to ATS and as such, shall be deemed to be confidential whether or not such
information, in written form or not, is so identified by ATS as being confidential.
Specific ATS Solar Automation Know-How disclosed by ATS to Photowatt shall not be
deemed to be in the public domain merely because it is addressed in a general manner as
part of information in the public domain, provided that the specific information is not
public. Photowatt shall not disclose, for a period of ten years from the date first
written above, any and all such confidential ATS Solar Automation Know-How, provided,
however, that such obligations of secrecy shall not include information that:






	 	(i)	 	is at the time of disclosure generally available to the public, or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	becomes after disclosure generally available to the
public through no fault of the Photowatt, or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	is received by Photowatt from third parties and
such third party is not prohibited from disclosing the information to
Photowatt.






	 	 	 	During such period, Photowatt shall ensure that no such part of the ATS Solar
Automation Know-How that is confidential shall be disclosed except to responsible
Representatives who require such information during the course of their duties, and
then only in accordance with Section 7.5(j).
	 
	 	(i)	 	Further Covenants. Photowatt shall not use, disclose or allow access
to the ATS Solar Automation Know-How for any purpose other than the purposes permitted
by the license granted to it in Section 7.5(a) and in any event in any way that
is, directly or indirectly, detrimental to ATS or its Affiliates. Photowatt shall keep
the ATS Solar Automation Know-How strictly confidential and treat the ATS Solar
Automation Know-How as proprietary to ATS. Photowatt shall not divulge to, or cause or
permit to be divulged to, any third party other than Representatives, in any manner
whatsoever, the ATS Solar Automation Know-How.
	 
	 	(j)	 	Disclosure to Representatives. Photowatt may disclose ATS Solar
Automation Know-How to only those of its Representatives as is necessary for the
purposes permitted by the license granted to it in Section 7.5(a). Photowatt
shall inform such Representatives of the confidential nature of the ATS Solar
Automation Know-How and cause such Representatives to agree to treat such ATS Solar
Automation Know-How confidentially in accordance with this Agreement and not to use,
disclose or allow access to such ATS Solar Automation Know-How except as permitted
herein. Photowatt shall be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its
Representatives. Photowatt shall take all reasonable measures, including court
proceedings, at Photowatt’s sole expense, to restrain its Representatives from making
unauthorized use or disclosure of the ATS Solar Automation Know-How.

7.6 Legal and Regulatory Matters. Until ATS and its Affiliates cease to hold in aggregate
less than 50% of the outstanding Photowatt Common Shares, Photowatt shall not adopt policies or
directives relating to legal or regulatory compliance that are inconsistent in any material respect
with the policies and directives identified by ATS as critical to legal and regulatory compliance;
provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent adoption of policies
or directives that, in the opinion of counsel to Photowatt, are necessary or desirable to comply
with then applicable Law.

untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make

8.4 Claim Procedure.




	 	(a)	 	Claim Notice. A Party that seeks indemnity under this Article 8 or
under any other Separation Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice
(a “Claim Notice”) to the Party from whom indemnification is sought (an “Indemnifying
Party”) in respect of Losses arising from any matter other than Third Party Claims. The
Claim Notice must contain (i) a description and, if known, estimated amount (the
“Claimed Amount”) of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the
Indemnified Party, (ii) a reasonable explanation of the basis for the Claim Notice to
the extent of facts then known by the Indemnified Party, and (iii) a demand for payment
of those Losses. No failure or delay or deficiency on the part of the Indemnified Party
to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any
Liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent of any Losses caused by or
arising out of such failure, delay or deficiency.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Response to Notice of Claim. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim
Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written
response in which the Indemnifying Party shall either: (i) agree that the Indemnified
Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount and, in which case, the
Indemnifying Party shall pay the Claimed Amount using a payment method reasonably
acceptable to the Indemnified Party; or (ii) dispute that the Indemnified Party is
entitled to receive all or any portion of the Claimed Amount,




- 25 -









 






	 	 	 	in which case, the Parties shall resort to the dispute resolution procedures set
forth in Section 9.19.






	 	(c)	 	Contested Claims. If the Indemnifying Party disputes that the
Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all or any portion of the Claimed Amount, as
soon as practicable but in no event later than 10 Business Days after the receipt of
the notice referenced in Section 8.4(b), the Parties shall begin the process to
resolve the matter in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of Section
9.19 hereof. Upon ultimate resolution thereof, the Parties shall take such actions
as are reasonably necessary to comply with such resolution.
	 
	 	(d)	 	Third Party Claims.






	 	(i)	 	If the Indemnified Party receives notice or otherwise
learns of the assertion by a Person who is not a member of either Group of
any claim or the commencement of any Action (in each case, a “Third Party
Claim”) with respect to which the Indemnifying Party may be obligated to
provide indemnification under this Article 8, the Indemnified
Party shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the
Third Party Claim. Such notification shall be given within five Business
Days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party
Claim, shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation
submitted by such third party (to the extent then in the possession of the
Indemnified Party) and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent
known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such
Third Party Claim and the amount of the claimed Losses; provided,
however, that no delay or deficiency on the part of the
Indemnified Party in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party of any Liability or obligation hereunder except to the
extent of any Losses caused by or arising out of such failure. Within 20
days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon
written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the
defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party. During any period in which the Indemnifying Party
has not so assumed control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall
control such defense.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The Party not controlling such defense (the
“Non-Controlling Party”) may participate therein at its own expense;
provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party assumes
control of such defense and the Indemnified Party concludes, upon the
written opinion of counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the
Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses
available with respect to such Third Party Claim, the reasonable fees and
expenses of separate counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be considered
“Losses” for purposes of this Agreement; provided,
further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for
the fees or expenses of more than one legal firm in any single




- 26 -









 












	 	 	 	jurisdiction for all of the Indemnified Parties; provided,
however, that in the event that such legal firm is conflicted
amongst the Indemnified Parties, then the Indemnifying Party shall be
responsible for the fees or expenses of up to two legal firms in any single
jurisdiction for all of the Indemnified Parties. The Party controlling such
defense (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party
reasonably advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense
thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the
Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall
furnish the Controlling Party with such Information as it may have with
respect to such Third Party Claim (including copies of any summons,
complaint or other pleading that may have been served on such Party and any
written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or
asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the
Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any
settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third
Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided, however, that the consent of the Indemnified
Party shall not be required if (A) the Indemnifying Party agrees in
writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or
judgment, (B) such settlement or judgment includes a full, complete and
unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from further Liability and
(C) such settlement does not create any financial or other obligation on
the part of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall not agree
to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such
Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.





8.5 Survival; Limitations.




	 	(a)	 	Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other
Separation Agreement, all covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in the
Separation Agreements shall survive each of the Offering and a Spin-Off. The
limitation period applicable to any proceeding in respect of such covenants and
agreements shall be as prescribed by applicable Law. To the extent the limitation
period applicable to any proceeding in respect of such covenants and agreements is
governed by the Laws of the Province of Ontario, the limitation period shall be be
solely as prescribed in sections 15-17 of the Limitations Act, 2002 and any other
limitation period in respect of such proceeding (including that provided for in
section 4 of the Limitations Act, 2002) is extended accordingly. The rights and
obligations of ATS, Photowatt and each of their respective Indemnified Persons under
this Agreement shall survive the direct or indirect sale, assignment or other transfer
by any Party of any Assets or Liabilities.




- 27 -









 












	 	(b)	 	The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this
Agreement shall be net of any Tax Benefit and any amounts actually recovered by the
Indemnified Party from any third Person (including amounts actually recovered under
insurance policies) with respect to such Losses. Any Indemnifying Party hereunder shall
be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party upon payment in full of the amount
of the relevant indemnifiable Losses. An insurer who would otherwise be obligated to
pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or,
solely by virtue of the indemnification provision hereof, have any subrogation rights
with respect thereto. If any Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third Person
in respect of Losses for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the
full amount of such indemnifiable Losses has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or
after an Indemnifying Party has made a partial payment of such indemnifiable Losses and
the amount received from the third Person exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of such
indemnifiable Losses, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the
Indemnifying Party the excess, if any, of (X) the sum of the amount theretofore paid by
such Indemnifying Party in respect of such indemnifiable Losses plus the amount
received from the third Person in respect thereof, over (Y) the full amount of such
indemnifiable Losses.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8, the initial
presumption shall be that there is no insurance coverage for any such Losses, and the
Indemnifying Party shall, upon request by the Indemnified Party, fully indemnify and
hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any and all such Losses. Once the
Indemnifying Party has discharged this obligation to the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Party may request that the Indemnified Party pursue insurance coverage
from one or more insurers in connection with such Losses. If so requested, the
Indemnified Party shall pursue insurance coverage, including, if necessary, the filing
of coverage litigation, all of which shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and
expense. The Indemnifying Party shall pay directly or promptly reimburse the
Indemnified Party for all such costs and expenses, as directed by the Indemnified
Party. The Indemnified Party shall retain full and exclusive control of all such
matters (including the settlement of underlying covered claims and/or coverage claims
against insurers), and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select counsel
with the concurrence of Indemnifying Party, which concurrence shall not be withheld
unreasonably. The net proceeds of any insurance recovery (after deducting any costs and
expenses that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party) shall be
paid to the Indemnifying Party. At all times, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate
with the Indemnified Party’s insurers and/or with the Indemnified Party in the pursuit
of insurance coverage, as and when reasonably requested to do so by the Indemnified
Party. It is not the intent of this Section 8.5(c) to absolve the Indemnifying
Party of any responsibility to the Indemnified Party for those Losses in connection
with which the Indemnified Party actually secures insurance coverage, but to allocate
the costs of pursuing such coverage to the Indemnifying Party and to provide the
Indemnified Party with a full, interim indemnity from the Indemnifying Party until such
time as the extent of insurance coverage is




- 28 -









 






	 	 	 	determined and is obtained. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 8.5(c), if the Indemnified Party (in its absolute and sole
discretion) determines that it is necessary to do so, the Indemnified Party may
pursue insurance coverage for the benefit of the Indemnified Party before the
Indemnifying Party has fully discharged its obligations to the Indemnified Party
under this Agreement. In such event, the Indemnified Party may unilaterally take any
steps it determines are necessary to preserve such insurance coverage, including
tendering the defense of any claim or suit to an insurer or insurers of the
Indemnified Party if the Indemnified Party concludes that such action may be
required by the relevant insurance policy or policies. Any such actions by the
Indemnified Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations
to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement, including the Indemnifying Party’s
obligation to pay directly or reimburse the Indemnified Party for costs and
expenses.






	 	(d)	 	Any indemnification payment made under this Agreement shall be characterized
for Tax purposes as a contribution or distribution or payment of an assumed or retained
liability, as applicable.
	 
	 	(e)	 	ATS’ and Photowatt’s indemnity obligations under Sections 8.2 and
8.3 shall be reduced to reflect any Tax Benefit realized, in the year in which
the indemnity payment is required to be made or in any prior year, by the Indemnified
Party or any of its Affiliates. To the extent that the claim with respect to which an
indemnity obligation arises has not given rise to a Tax Benefit in prior year or in the
year in which the indemnity payment is to be made, but gives rise to a Tax Benefit in a
later year, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of
such Tax Benefit. For purposes of determining the amount of any payment due to an
Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 8.5(e), ATS and Photowatt and their
respective Affiliates shall be deemed to use all other deductions, amortizations,
exclusions from income or other allowances (to the extent that such deductions,
amortizations, exclusions from income or other allowances are entitled to be used under
applicable tax law) prior to the use of any Tax Benefits in respect of which the
Indemnifying Party is obligated to pay the Indemnified Party hereunder.
	 
	 	(f)	 	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Separation Agreement to
the contrary, in no event shall any Party or any of its Group members be liable to the
other Party or any other Person under this Agreement or any other Separation Agreement
for, and each Party (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and other Indemnified Persons)
hereby releases the other Party from all claims for, special, collateral, indirect,
consequential, incidental or punitive damages (including lost profits or savings),
however caused and on any theory of liability (including negligence), even if advised
of their possible existence; provided, however, that the foregoing
limitations shall not limit either Party’s indemnification obligations as set forth in
Article 8 hereof in respect of any Third Party Claim.




- 29 -









 











8.6 Production of Witnesses and Documents. If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or
to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other Party shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former,
current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its
respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which
it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving
consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and
agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such
defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be,
and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution,
evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.



ARTICLE 9

MISCELLANEOUS




9.1 Assignment. Neither Party shall assign, transfer or otherwise alienate any or all of
its rights or interest under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other
Party, which in the case of the consent of ATS, may be granted or withheld in ATS’ sole discretion,
and in the case of the consent of Photowatt, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, ATS may assign any or all of
its rights or interest under this Agreement to any Affiliate of ATS without the consent of
Photowatt. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
thereto, respectively, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and any permitted
assignee shall agree to perform the obligations of the assignor of this Agreement. Any attempted
transfer, assignment or alienation in violation of this Section 9.1 shall be invalid and
ineffective ab initio.



9.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Separation Agreements constitute the
entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
supersede (a) all prior oral or written proposals or agreements, (b) all contemporaneous oral
proposals or agreements and (c) all previous negotiations and all other communications or
understandings between the Parties, in each case with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. No reliance is placed on any warranty, representation, opinion, advice or assertion of
fact made either prior to, contemporaneous with, or after entering into this Agreement, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, by any Party to this Agreement or its directors, officers and
agents, to any other Party to this Agreement or its directors, officers and agents except to the
extent that the same has been reduced to writing and included as a term of the Separation
Agreements, and none of the Parties to this Agreement has been induced to enter into this Agreement
or any amendment or supplement by reason of any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or
assertion of fact. Accordingly, there will be no liability, either in tort (including negligence)
or in Contract, assessed in relation to any such warranty, representation, opinion, advice or
assertion of fact, except to the extent contemplated above.



9.3 No Agency. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Separation Agreement shall
constitute or be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture between the Parties or, except
to the extent provided in Section 4.02 of the Transitional Services Agreement, constitute or be
deemed to constitute any Party the agent or employee of the other Party for any purpose



- 30 -









 







whatsoever, and neither Party shall have authority or power to bind the other Party or to contract
in the name of, or create a liability against, the other Party in any way or for any purpose.



9.4 Future Litigation and Other Proceedings. If any member of the Photowatt Group (or any
of its Representatives) or any member of the ATS Group (or any of its Representatives) at any time
after the Separation Time initiates or becomes subject to any Action with respect to which the
Parties have no prior agreements (as to indemnification or otherwise), upon reasonable notice (a)
the Party (and its Group members and its and their respective Representatives) that has not
initiated and is not subject to such Action shall comply, at the other Party’s expense, with any
reasonable requests by the other Party for assistance in connection with such Action (including by
way of provision of information and making available of Representatives as witnesses) and (b) each
Party (and its Representatives) shall, at its own expense, coordinate with the other Party its
strategies and actions with respect to such Action to the extent such coordination would not be
detrimental to its interests and shall comply, at the expense of the requesting Party, with any
reasonable requests of the other Party for assistance in connection therewith (including by way of
provision of information and making available of Representatives as witnesses).



9.5 Further Assurances. On and after the Separation Time, each Party hereto shall cooperate
with the other Party, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting
Party, to execute and deliver, or use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed
and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and
to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents of, any Governmental Authority or any other
Person under any permit, license, agreement, indenture or other instrument (including any Consents
or consents, approvals, rulings or decisions of any Governmental Authority), and to take all such
other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by any other Party hereto from time
to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Separation Agreements, in order to
effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Separation Agreements and the
other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.



9.6 Notices. Any notice, instruction, direction, demand or other communication to any
Party under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered,

the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.



9.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement shall be determined by
a court, administrative agency or arbitrator in any jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not render the entire
Agreement invalid and shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such term or

this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse
to either Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect
the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that
the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent permitted under applicable
Law.



9.10 Force Majeure. No Party shall be deemed in default of this Agreement to the extent
that any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement results from
any cause beyond its reasonable control, such as acts of God, decrees or restraints of any
Governmental Authority, acts of civil or military authority, embargoes, epidemics, war, riots,



- 32 -









 







insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, floods, unusually severe weather conditions, strikes
or other labour disturbances or unavailability of parts, or, in the case of computer systems, any
failure in electrical or air conditioning equipment, and any other cause or causes whether similar
or dissimilar to those already specified, which cannot be controlled by such Party. In the event
of any such excused delay, the time for performance shall be extended for a period equal to the
time lost by reason of the delay; provided however that the Party seeking to excuse its performance
shall promptly notify the other Party of the cause therefor, such performance shall be so excused
during the inability of the Party to perform so caused, but for no longer period, and the cause
thereof shall be remedied as far as is commercially reasonable with all reasonable dispatch.



9.11 Publicity. Prior to the Separation Time, each of the Parties shall consult with each
other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the
Offering or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and prior to making any filings with
any Governmental Authority with respect thereto.



9.12 Specific Performance. In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach
of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any other Separation
Agreement, the Party or Parties who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall have the right to
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its rights under this Agreement or
such Separation Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in
equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that the remedies
at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation
for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would
be adequate is waived. Any requirements for security or posting of any bond with such remedy are
waived.



9.13 Currency. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all amounts in this
Agreement are stated and will be paid in Canadian currency.



9.14 Time Periods. Unless otherwise specified, time periods within or following which any
payment is to be made or act is to be done shall be calculated by excluding the day on which the
period commences and including the day on which the period ends.



9.15 Amendment. This Agreement may only be modified, amended by, altered or supplemented
by the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by both the Parties.



9.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the
same agreement.



9.17 Authority. Each Party represents to the other Party that (a) it has the corporate
power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Separation
Agreements, (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate or other actions, (c) it has duly and validly executed and
delivered this Agreement and the other Separation Agreements and (d) this Agreement and each of the
Separation Agreements is legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in



- 33 -









 







accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.



9.18 Jurisdiction. If any Dispute arises out of or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Separation Agreement, except as expressly contemplated by another provision of this
Agreement or any Separation Agreement, the Parties irrevocably (and the Parties shall cause each
other member of their respective Group to irrevocably) (a) consent and submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Courts of the Province of Ontario, (b) waive any objection to that choice of
forum based on venue or to the effect that the forum is not convenient, and (c) WAIVE TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL OR ADJUDICATION BY JURY.



9.19 Dispute Resolution. Any controversy or claim, whether based on Contract, tort, Law or
other legal or equitable theory (including any claim of fraud, misrepresentation or fraudulent
inducement or any question of validity or effect of this Agreement or any other Separation
Agreement, including this Section 9.19) (in each such case, a “Dispute”) arising out of or
related to this Agreement or any other Separation Agreement, or the breach or termination thereof,
shall be submitted in good faith to negotiations and, if necessary, mediation in accordance with
the terms below before any Action is commenced.




	 	(a)	 	Direct Negotiation. If either Party considers that any Dispute has
arisen under or in connection with this Agreement, then such Party may first deliver a
notice to the other Party describing the nature and the particulars of such Dispute.
Second, within 10 Business Days following delivery of such notice to the other Party,
or the expiry of the time for delivery of response to the Claim Notice under
Section 8.4(b) hereof, whichever occurs first, the Parties shall meet (whether
by phone or in person) in a good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute. Third, if the
Dispute is still unresolved after 10 Business Days following the commencement of such
good faith attempt, then the chief financial officer (or another designee with full
authority to resolve such dispute) of each Party shall meet (whether by phone or in
person) in a good faith attempt to resolve the Dispute, such meeting to be held within
20 days of the first meeting referred to above. Fourth, if the Dispute is still
unresolved after 10 Business Days following the commencement of such second
negotiations, then such Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with
Section 9.19(b).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Mediation. If the Dispute is to be submitted to mediation in
accordance with Section 9.19(a), the mediator will be selected by mutual
agreement of the Parties, which agreement shall be reached in good faith and on a
timely basis. If they are unable to agree on a mediator, each Party will select one
third party representative, each of whom shall be an independent experienced
professional mediator practicing in Ontario, which two representatives shall mutually
select a mediator for such Dispute with the same qualifications referred to above (and
each Party shall in good faith instruct its representative to work in good faith with
the other Party’s representative to promptly select such mediator).

	 	(i)	 	Mediation Procedure. The mediation will be
conducted pursuant to the rules generally used by the mediator in the
mediator’s practice, subject to the following:






	 	(A)	 	The mediator will act as an advocate for
resolution and will use his or her best efforts to assist the Parties
in reaching a mutually acceptable settlement. The mediator may suggest
ways of resolving the Dispute, but may not impose his or her own
judgment on the issues or that of the Parties. The mediator will not
have the authority to decide any issue for the Parties, but will
attempt to facilitate the voluntary resolution of the Dispute by the
Parties.
	 
	 	(B)	 	Each Person participating in the mediation
will have authority to settle, and all Persons necessary to the
decision to settle will be present during the entire mediation session
or sessions.
	 
	 	(C)	 	The mediation will take place at a time and
convenient location agreeable to the mediator and the Parties, as the
mediator will determine, but such mediation will take place no later
than 20 Business Days after the commencement of the second
negotiations under Section 9.19(a) and will take place over
two consecutive days.
	 
	 	(D)	 	Mediation sessions will be private, and only
the Parties and their representatives may attend the mediation
sessions. Other Persons may attend the mediation sessions only with
the written permissions of the Parties and with the consent of the
mediator.
	 
	 	(E)	 	There will be no stenographic record of the
mediation process, and no Person will tape record any portion of the
mediation sessions.
	 
	 	(F)	 	No subpoenas, summons, complaints, citations,
writs, or other process may be served at or away from the site of any
mediation session upon any Person who then is entering, on the way to,
in attendance or leaving the session.
	 
	 	(G)	 	The Parties will participate in the mediation
proceeding in good faith with the intention to settle.
	 
	 	(H)	 	No later than five days prior to the
mediation, each Party will deliver to the mediator all information
reasonably required for the mediator to understand the issues
presented and a confidential memorandum (not to exceed five pages with
normal type size and margins) setting forth the following:






	 	i.	 	identification of the matters
in dispute;




- 35 -









 






	 	ii.	 	concise statement of points
(factual, legal, practical) that such Party believes enhances
its chance of achieving a favourable outcome of the Dispute;
and
	 
	 	iii.	 	history of settlement
discussions and outstanding offers of settlement.






	 	(I)	 	The above rules may be modified or amended
with the Parties’ written consent.






	 	(ii)	 	Release. The mediator will not be a
necessary or proper party in any Action relating to the mediation. Neither
the mediator, the Person employing the mediator, nor the Person providing
the mediator will be liable to any Party for any acts or omissions in
connection with any mediation conducted pursuant to this Section
9.19.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Compromise Negotiation. The mediation is a
compromise negotiation for purposes of the applicable rules of evidence
and is an alternative dispute resolution procedure subject to Law chosen
to govern this Agreement. The entire procedure is and will be
confidential. All conduct, statements, promises, offers, views and
opinions, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by
any of the Parties, their agents, employees or other representatives and
by the mediator, who is the Parties’ joint agent for purposes of these
compromise negotiations, are confidential and will, in addition where
appropriate, be deemed to be work product and privileged. Such conduct,
statements, promises, offers, views and opinions will not be discoverable
or admissible for any purposes, including impeachment, if any litigation
or other proceedings involve the Parties and will not be disclosed to
anyone not an agent, employee, expert or other representative for any of
the Parties. Evidence otherwise discoverable or admissible is not excluded
from discovery or admission as a result of its use in the mediation.
Confidential Information disclosed to the mediator by the Parties or by
witnesses in the course of the mediation will not be divulged by the
mediator. All records, reports or other documents received by the mediator
while serving in that capacity will be confidential. The mediator will not
be compelled to divulge such records or to testify with regard to the
mediation in any adversary proceeding or judicial forum.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Costs of Mediation. The Parties will bear
their respective costs incurred in connection with the mediation described
in this Section 9.19, except that the Parties will share equally
the fees and expenses of the mediator, the costs of obtaining the facility
for the mediation, and the fees and expenses of any experts employed at
the mediator’s request.
	 
	 	(v)	 	Termination of Mediation. The mediation will
be terminated upon the first to occur of the following:










- 36 -









 












	 	(A)	 	by the execution of a settlement agreement
resolving the dispute by the Parties;
	 
	 	(B)	 	by a written declaration of the mediator to
the effect that further efforts at mediation are no longer worthwhile;
or
	 
	 	(C)	 	after the completion of two full days of
mediation sessions, by written declaration of a Party or Parties to
the effect that mediation proceedings are terminated.






	 	(c)	 	Litigation. Neither Party may bring (or have brought) any Action in
any forum with respect to any Dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement or
any other Separation Agreement, or the breach or termination thereof, until such Party
has fully complied with Sections 9.19(a) and (b) with respect to such Dispute.





9.20 Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Separation Agreement binds and benefits
the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is for the sole
benefit of the Parties (and, solely for purposes of Section 8, ATS Indemnified Persons and
Photowatt Indemnified Persons) and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, confers or
intends to confer any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever in favour of any Person
(including any employee or shareholder of ATS or Photowatt) other than the Parties.



9.21 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or a Separation Agreement,
each Party shall be responsible for its own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with
the matters contemplated by this Agreement and the Separation Agreement; provided, however
Photowatt shall be responsible for the payment of all costs, fees and expenses relating to the
Offering and each Party shall be responsible for the payment of all of its costs, fees and expenses
relating to a Spin-Off (or any other divestiture transaction employed by ATS).



9.22 Waiver. A provision of this Agreement or any other Separation Agreement may be waived
only by a writing signed by the Party or Parties intended to be bound by the waiver. A Party is not
prevented from enforcing any right, remedy or condition in the Party’s favour because of any
failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy or in requiring satisfaction of any condition,
except to the extent that the Party specifically waives the same in writing. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision nor shall any waiver
constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. Any enumeration of a Party’s
rights and remedies in this Agreement or any other Separation Agreement is not intended to be
exclusive, and a Party’s rights and remedies are intended to be cumulative to the extent permitted
by Law and include any rights and remedies authorized in Law or in equity.



9.23 Compliance With Laws. Each Party shall comply with all applicable legal requirements
(including all relevant federal, state and provincial legislation and regulatory requirements); and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party shall comply with, and shall take all
necessary measures to ensure that (i) its actions (or lack of action) do not result in
non-compliance by the other Party, with the provisions of the Personal Information Protection and
Electronic Documents Act (Canada) and any similar federal, state or provincial



- 37 -









 







legislation, including the provisions relating to the collection, use, retention and disclosure of
Personal Information and (ii) the transfer of any information hereunder is in compliance with
applicable export control or similar Laws.

their duly authorized representatives.
