In resolving any disputed item, the Accountants may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by any of the Equity Buyer and the Equity Seller or less than the smallest value for such

item claimed by any such Party.

The determination of the Accountants as to any issue of fact will be, absent fraud, bad faith or manifest error, conclusive, non-appealable, final and binding upon the Parties for all purposes. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accountants in the courts in the City of Toronto or any other court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced. Any fees and expenses of the Accountants incurred in resolving the disputed matters shall be borne by the Equity Seller, on the one hand, and the Equity Buyer, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the dollar amount of disputed matters lost by the Equity Seller, on the one hand, or the Equity Buyer, on the other hand, bears to the total dollar amount in dispute resolved by the Accountants. In the event of any dispute regarding such allocation, the Accountant shall determine the allocation of its fees and expenses as between the Equity Buyer and the Equity Seller in accordance with such allocation methodology, such determination to be final and binding on Buyers and Sellers. Each of the Equity Buyer, on the one hand, and the Equity Seller, on the other hand, will bear its own fees, costs and expenses in connection with matters contemplated by this Section 2.8(d).

(e) Payment of any amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be made in accordance with Section 2.9.

All Company IT Systems are reasonably sufficient for the immediate needs of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, including as to capacity and ability to process current and anticipated peak volumes in a timely manner. There have been no failures, breakdowns, or other substandard performance of any Company IT Systems that have caused a material disruption to the Merchandising Business. The Companies and their Subsidiaries have not been subjected to a third-party audit of any kind in connection with any Contract pursuant to which any of them uses any Company IT System, nor received any written notice of intent to conduct such audit. To the Sellers’ Knowledge, the Company IT Systems do not and have not contained any “back door,” “time bomb,” “Trojan

horse,” “worm,” “drop dead device,” “virus,” malware or other Software routines or components intentionally designed to permit unauthorized access to, maliciously disable, maliciously encrypt, or erase Software, hardware, or data. The Companies and their Subsidiaries use commercially reasonable efforts designed to protect the security of the Company IT Systems from unauthorized use, access, or interruption, including maintaining commercially reasonable backup and data recovery, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans, procedures, and facilities. The Companies and their Subsidiaries test such plans and procedures on a regular basis, and they have been proven effective in all material respects upon such testing.

None of the Business IP was developed or is used in a manner that (i) would require any portion thereof to be disclosed, delivered, distributed, licensed, or otherwise made available to any third party in source code form, (ii) limits the freedom of the Companies and their Subsidiaries to seek full compensation in connection with the marketing, licensing, or distribution of any of the products or services of the Companies or their Subsidiaries, or (iii) allows a third party to decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reverse engineer any Business IP. The Companies and their Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all contractual obligations relating to open source software used in connection with the Software included in the Business IP. To the extent the Companies or any of the Companies’ Subsidiaries uses AI Technologies, the applicable Company or Subsidiary owns or has adequate rights to use any Training Data used in connection therewith and will continue to own or have such rights immediately after the Equity Closing to the same extent as immediately prior to the Asset Closing.

Article VI
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1 Tax Matters.

(a) Equity Seller shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Companies and each of their Subsidiaries on or prior to the Closing Date. Equity Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Companies and each of their Subsidiaries, except for the Tax Returns that Sellers shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, as described in the previous sentence. All such Tax Returns with respect to the Companies and each of their Subsidiaries to be filed by Equity Buyer for periods that relate to Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date for which Equity Seller could reasonably be expected to bear any indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 7.4(a)(each such Tax Return, a “Pre-Closing Tax Return”) shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the prior practice of the Companies and each of their Subsidiaries to the extent such prior practice is permitted by applicable Law. Equity Buyer shall provide Equity Seller a draft of any such Pre-Closing Tax Return (x) in the case of any Pre-Closing Tax Return for any Income Tax, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account any available extension) for such Tax Return, and (y) in the case of any other Pre-Closing Tax Return, at least ten (10) days prior to the due date (taking into account any available extension) for such Tax Return, for Equity Seller’s review, and Equity Buyer shall consider in good faith any comments provided by Equity Seller at least fifteen (15) days (in the case of any Pre-Closing Tax Return for any Income Tax) or five (5) days (in the case of any other Pre-Closing Tax Return) prior to such due date for such Tax Return. For purposes of this Section 6.1(a), any determination under, pursuant to or as permitted by applicable Laws shall be determined (i) in the case of any U.S. federal, state or local Income Taxes, based on a “more likely than not” or higher standard, and (ii) in the case of any Income Taxes in another jurisdiction, based on the equivalent or similar standard in such jurisdiction.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the amount of property and ad valorem Taxes of any Company or any Subsidiary thereof for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period prior to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period, and (ii) the amount of any other Taxes of any Company or any Subsidiary thereof for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances, deductions or other items that are calculated on an annual or periodic basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be apportioned on a daily basis. Each item of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of a Subsidiary that is a partnership for Tax purposes (each, a “Partnership”) for a Straddle Period in respect of the Partnership shall be allocated to each person that was a partner of Partnership (which, for greater certainty, includes a partner at any time in the fiscal period of the Partnership in which the Closing occurs) on the basis that the Straddle Period consisted of two hypothetical taxable periods, the first of which ended immediately before the time of the Closing and the second of which began at the time of the Closing. Any income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Partnership for the first period described above will be allocated to the partners as of immediately before the Closing and

any income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of the Partnership for the second period described above will be allocated to the partners on or after Closing.

(c) Equity Buyer shall not make any elections pursuant to Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Companies or their Subsidiaries.

(d) At the request of the Equity Buyer, the Equity Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with the Equity Buyer to close the taxable year for any Company or any of its Subsidiary in connection with the Closing to the extent permitted by applicable Law, including (i) by making an election under subsection 256(9) of the Tax Act in respect of the taxation year of the Canadian Company ending (or otherwise ending) on or immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) by timely making any election under United States Treasury Regulation Section 1.245A-5(e)(3)(i) and similar provision of U.S. state and local Tax Law with respect to the Canadian Company, the UK Company and their respective Subsidiaries. If the taxable year of any of the Canadian Company, the UK Company and their Subsidiaries cannot be closed as of the Closing Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Equity Buyer and the Equity Seller agree that (x) for purposes of applying Sections 951(a)(2) and 951A(c), the Equity Buyer’s pro rata share described thereunder with respect to such taxable year shall be determined as if such taxable year ends on the Closing Date, and (y) if the method as described in clause (x) is not permitted under the United States Treasury Department guidance promulgated after the date hereof, the Equity Buyer and the Equity Seller shall negotiate in good faith and adopt a method permitted by such guidance that would result in the Equity Buyer’s pro rata share to be as close to such result pursuant to clause (x) as possible.

(e) Equity Buyer and Equity Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.1 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) using commercially reasonable efforts to provide records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and to make employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Equity Seller and Equity Buyer agree to retain all appropriate Books and Records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies and their Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until (i) the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Equity Buyer or Equity Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, or (ii) if no such statute of limitations exists, seven (7) years after the Closing Date, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority.

(f) All excise, sales, use, value added, goods and services, harmonized sales, transfer (including real property transfer or gains), stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes, levies, assessments, customs, duties, imposts, charges or fees, together with any interest, additions or penalties with respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties, resulting from the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne equally by IP Buyer, on the one hand, and IP Seller, on the other hand. However, any Transfer Taxes imposed under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and any applicable Canadian provincial or territorial sales tax legislation are the responsibility of, for the account of, and shall be borne by IP Buyer; provided, however, that if the matters set forth in Section 5.11 are true on the Asset Closing, IP Seller shall

not collect any goods and services or harmonized sales taxes under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) (“GST/HST”) on the basis that the sale of the Purchased Assets is zero-rated pursuant to section 10 and/or section 10.1 of Part V of Schedule VI to the Excise Tax Act (Canada). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify IP Seller, its partners and their respective directors, officers, employees and shareholders with respect to 50% of any GST/HST, penalties and interest, whether arising from a reassessment or otherwise, which may be payable in connection with the failure by the IP Seller to collect any applicable GST/HST payable by IP Buyer on the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets as a result of any inaccuracy, misstatement or misrepresentation made by the IP Buyer.

(g) Except as required by Law, Equity Buyer and its Affiliates shall not, and shall cause the Companies not to, without the prior written permission of the Equity Seller (which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (i) amend any previously-filed Tax Returns of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) file Tax Returns in respect of a particular Tax for any of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period in a jurisdiction where such Company has not historically filed Tax Returns for such Tax (other than such jurisdiction where, since the end of the last taxable period for such Tax, such Company started new operations or increased or changed operations in a manner that established nexus for purposes of such Tax), (iii) initiate discussions or examinations with any Tax authority regarding Taxes of the Companies with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) make any voluntary disclosures with any Tax authority with respect to Taxes of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (v) undertake any action outside of the Ordinary Course of Business on the Closing Date that has the material risk of affecting Equity Seller or any of its Affiliates for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case where any such action could reasonably be expected to increase a Pre-Closing Income Tax Amount.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Equity Buyer shall be entitled to cause any Subsidiary of the US Company to make or cause to made any election under Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and any similar or analogous election under U.S. state or local Tax Law, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such election is permitted by applicable Tax Law.

(i) If it is determined that any Canadian Company or Subsidiary made an “excessive eligible dividend designation”, as defined in subsection 89(1) of the Tax Act, the Equity Seller hereby consents to (or shall cause the recipient of the relevant dividend to consent to) the making of an election under subsection 185.1(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount thereof, and such election shall be made by such Canadian Company or Subsidiary in the manner and within the time prescribed by subsections 185.1(2) and 185.1(3) of the Tax Act.

(j) If it is determined that any Canadian Company or Subsidiary has made an election under subsection 83(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount of any dividend payable by it on shares of any class of its capital stock and the full amount of such dividend exceeded the amount of its “capital dividend account”, as defined in the Tax Act, immediately before the dividend became payable, the Equity Seller hereby consents to (or shall cause the recipient of the relevant dividend to consent to) the making of an election under subsection 184(3) of the Tax Act in respect of such dividend.

(k) Other than agreements and financing arrangements entered into in the Ordinary Course of Business the primary purpose of which is not related to Taxes or Tax Returns, Equity Seller shall cause any and all existing Tax sharing agreements, Tax indemnity agreements, and Tax allocation agreements (whether written or unwritten) binding upon any Company or any Subsidiary thereof to be terminated on or before the Closing Date, and from and after the Closing Date, no Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall have any further obligations or liabilities with respect to any such agreements.

(l) If, at any time after the Closing Date, any Seller, on the one hand, or any Buyer, on the other hand, determines, or becomes aware that an “advisor” (as is or may be defined for purposes of section 237.3 or section 237.4 of the Tax Act) has determined, that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, together with all transactions ancillary thereto, is subject to the reporting requirements under section 237.3 of the Tax Act or the notification requirements under section 237.4 of the Tax Act (or any comparable provisions under provincial tax legislation), including as a result of any future amendments or proposed amendments to such provisions (the “Disclosure Requirements”), such Seller or the Buyer, as applicable, will promptly inform the other Parties of its intent, or its advisor’s intent, to comply with the Disclosure Requirements and such Parties will cooperate in good faith with respect to preparing and filing the applicable information returns or notifications.

(m) U.S. Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and, to the extent permitted by Law, for applicable state and local income Tax purposes): (i) the issuance of the Issued Equity to the IP Seller is intended to be treated as a contribution of an undivided interest in the Purchased Assets to the IP Buyer under Section 721(a) of the Code; (ii) the issuance of the ABG Equity is intended to be treated as a contribution of an undivided interest in the Purchased Assets to ABG (followed by a contribution of such undivided interest in the Purchased Assets directly or indirectly through intermediate entities, as the case may be, to IP Buyer) under Section 721(a) of the Code; (iii) the payment to or on behalf of the IP Seller of the portion of the Asset Purchase Price not described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is intended to be treated as the sale of an undivided interest in the Purchased Assets to Buyer under Section 1001 of the Code; and (iv) the payment to the Equity Seller of the Equity Purchase Price is intended to be treated as the sale of an undivided interest in the Purchased Equity to Buyer under Section 1001 of the Code, and the Parties shall not (and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) take any position inconsistent with this Section 6.1(m) on any U.S. federal, state or local Tax Return, in any audit or similar proceeding relating to U.S. federal income Taxes, or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any analogous provision of state or local Law).

Section 6.2 Public Announcements. Buyers and Sellers shall (a) consult with each other before such Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives issues any press release or otherwise makes any public statement with respect to the Transactions, (b) provide to the other Parties for review a copy of any such press release or public statement and (c) not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and review and the receipt of the prior written consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except for any press release or public statement as may be required by applicable Law (in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to

give the other Parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such disclosure prior to its making).

Section 6.3 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Closing Date until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Equity Buyer shall cause the Companies and their Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (including as it may be amended after the date of this Agreement to expand the rights of Director Indemnified Parties hereunder) (i) defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Person who at any time prior to the Equity Closing Time was appointed by or at the direction of, or who otherwise served at the request of, Equity Seller or any of its Affiliates as a director, manager and/or officer of any of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Director Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses that the Director Indemnified Parties may suffer or incur as a result of, in respect of, arising out of or in connection with any matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Equity Closing (collectively, “Director Claims”), and (ii) promptly advance expenses as incurred to each Director Indemnified Party in connection with any Director Claims; provided, that the Person to whom such expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is finally judicially determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses.

(b) Equity Buyer shall cause the Companies and their Subsidiaries (i) to maintain, for a period of at least six years from and after the Closing, provisions in their respective Governing Documents concerning the indemnification and exculpation (including relating to expense advancement) of the Director Indemnified Parties that are no less favorable to those Persons than the provisions of the Governing Documents of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, in each case, as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) not to amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions in any respect that would adversely affect the rights of those Persons thereunder, in each case, except as required by Law or unless appropriate substitute arrangements that are not less favorable to the applicable Director Indemnified Parties than those set forth in the applicable Governing Documents are implemented.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, the Companies have obtained, and fully paid the premium for, “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies for the benefit of the Director Indemnified Parties with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, with levels of coverage, terms and conditions that are at least as favorable to the Director Indemnified Parties as the directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies covering the Companies and their Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement and Equity Buyer agrees not to terminate such policies for a period of six years following the Closing.

(d) In the event that Equity Buyer, the Companies, their Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with, amalgamates, merges or effects another similar form of business combination with any other Person, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, Equity Buyer shall cause such successors and assigns of Equity Buyer, the Companies or their Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to assume or succeed to all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.3.

(i) From and after the Equity Closing, if any of the Sellers or Principals or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries receives any amount arising primarily out of the operation by any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries of the Merchandising Business (any such amount, a “Misallocated Merchandising Payment”), then the Sellers shall promptly notify the Equity Buyer of such receipt and shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after such discovery or identification) remit, or cause to be remitted, such Misallocated Merchandising Payment to the Company or Subsidiary of any Company designated by the Equity Buyer without any further consideration.

(ii) From and after the Equity Closing, if any of the Sellers or Principals or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries holds legal or beneficial title to any asset, property or right of any kind that relates primarily to the operation by any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries of the Merchandising Business (but for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any Intellectual Property Rights related to the OVO Brand, including any IP Assets and any After Discovered IP, all of which shall be addressed exclusively pursuant to Section 6.7(b)) (any such asset, property or right, a “Misallocated Merchandising Asset”), the Sellers shall, or shall cause such Principal, Affiliate or Subsidiary to, (a) promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after such discovery or identification) take all steps required to transfer such Misallocated Merchandising Asset to the Company or Subsidiary of any Company designated by the Equity Buyer without any further consideration, and (b) until such time as the transfer contemplated in clause (a) of this Section 6.7(a) is completed, hold and stand possessed of such Misallocated Merchandising Asset as bare trustee for the benefit of such Company or Subsidiary and receive and hold all proceeds, benefits and advantages accruing in respect of such Misallocated Merchandising Asset fully for the benefit, use and ultimate ownership of such Company or Subsidiary and, at the written direction of the Equity Buyer, enforce any rights arising from such Misallocated Merchandising Asset against other Persons. For the avoidance of doubt, the Vancouver Lease (as such term is defined in the Disclosure Schedule) constitutes a Misallocated Merchandising Asset.

(b) Assignment of After Discovered IP Assets. From and after the Asset Closing, if any of the Sellers, Principals or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries discover or otherwise identify, or if IP Buyer identifies and notifies IP Seller in writing of, any Intellectual Property Rights related to the OVO Brand or Merchandising Business, including any IP Assets, that (a) were not assigned, transferred, or conveyed to IP Buyer at the Asset Closing, or (b) may not have been effectively assigned, transferred, or conveyed to IP Buyer at the Asset Closing, in either case that should have been included in the IP Assets assigned to IP Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) were held for use by, or used in connection with the IP Business by, IP Seller, the Companies, their Subsidiaries, or any Principal prior to the Asset Closing but were not included in the IP Assets due to the absence of formal title documentation (“After Discovered IP”), then such Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates or Subsidiaries to, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after such discovery or identification) notify IP Buyer in writing of the existence and a reasonably detailed description of such After Discovered IP and take all actions required under Section 6.7(c) to assign, transfer, and convey such After Discovered IP to IP Buyer.

(c) Miscellaneous.

(i) Without any further consideration, each Seller shall, and shall cause the applicable Principals and its and their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries to, promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to IP Buyer in respect of Section 6.7(b) or the applicable Company or Subsidiary of any Company in respect of Section 6.7(a), as applicable, such assignments and other instruments of conveyance, transfer, or assignment as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by IP Buyer in respect of Section 6.7(b) or Equity Buyer in respect of Section 6.7(a), as applicable, to assign, transfer, and convey to IP Buyer in respect of Section 6.7(b) or the applicable Company or Subsidiary of any Company in respect of Section 6.7(a)(ii) all of such Seller’s and the

Principals and their respective Affiliates’ or Subsidiaries’ right, title, and interest in and to such After Discovered IP in respect of Section 6.7(b) or Misallocated Merchandising Payment or Misallocated Merchandising Asset in respect of Section 6.7(a), as applicable, in each case free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), effective as of the Asset Closing in respect of Section 6.7(b) or the Equity Closing in respect of Section 6.7(a).

(ii) Each Seller shall, and shall cause the applicable Principal and their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries to, take such further actions, and execute and deliver such further documents and instruments, as IP Buyer in respect of Section 6.7(b) or Equity Buyer in respect of Section 6.7(a), as applicable, may reasonably request in order to record, perfect, or otherwise give effect to the assignment of such After Discovered IP in respect of Section 6.7(b) or Misallocated Merchandising Payment or Misallocated Merchandising Asset in respect of Section 6.7(a), as applicable, including recordation of such assignments with the applicable Governmental Entity or intellectual property registries, at IP Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

(iii) The covenants in this Section 6.7 shall survive the Asset Closing in respect of Section 6.7(b) and the Equity Closing in respect of Section 6.7(a), as applicable, indefinitely and shall not be subject to any survival limitations otherwise applicable to the representations, warranties, or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.8 Specific Covenants. Within the time period(s) after the Closing set forth in Section 6.8 of the Disclosure Schedule, Seller shall comply with the covenants set forth in Section 6.8 of the Disclosure Schedule.

Article VII
NO SURVIVAL; RECOURSE LIMITATIONS; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1 Survival. The representations and warranties of the Sellers, Buyers and ABG contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered at or prior to the Equity Closing in connection with the Transactions, and the covenants and agreements of the Sellers, Buyers and ABG required to be performed or fulfilled at or prior to the Equity Closing contained in this Agreement, in each case shall terminate as of the Equity Closing, and none of the Parties nor any of their Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives shall have any recourse against the other Parties, their Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives with respect to such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements; provided, however, that this Section 7.1 shall not limit any claim, right or remedy arising out of or relating to Fraud by any Party. The representations and warranties of Buyers and ABG contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered at or prior to the Equity Closing in connection with the Transactions shall survive the Equity Closing for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing. The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that are to be performed after the Equity Closing shall survive the Equity Closing until performed in accordance with their respective terms or, if no time period for performance is contemplated, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing (other than any covenants set out in Section 2.12, Section 6.3(d), Section 7.5, Section 8.2 and Section 8.10, which shall survive indefinitely). For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligations in Section 7.4(d) and the procedural requirements in Section 7.4(f) shall be subject to the survival limitations set forth therein and shall continue in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 7.2 Recourse Limitations.

(a) Subject to Section 7.5 and Section 7.6:

(i) No director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, shareholder, Affiliate, parent of, or holder of any equity interest in, any tier, agent, attorney or representative of any Party (each, a “Non-Recourse Person”) shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) to any Buyer Related Person (in the event of any claim by a Buyer Related Person) or any Seller Related Person (in the event of any claim by a Seller Related Person) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of (a) this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby, (b) the negotiation or execution of or performance of any obligation under this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby, (c) any breach or violation of this Agreement or any agreement contemplated hereby or (d) any failure of the Transactions to

be consummated; and each Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, Claims and obligations against any such Non-Recourse Person.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the other agreements contemplated herein to the contrary, each Party further agrees that no recourse under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein will be sought or had against any Non-Recourse Person for any Claims arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to the items in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 7.2, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability or Losses whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the aforementioned, as such, arising under, out of, in connection with or related in any manner to the items in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 7.2.

(b) Non-Recourse Persons are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.2. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 7.3 Exclusivity of Representations and Warranties. Subject to Section 7.6:

(a) Notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to Buyers or any other Buyer Related Person or the Sellers or any other Seller Related Person, as applicable, of any documentation or other information (written or oral), the representations and warranties made by Parties in Article III, Article IV and Article V (as modified by the Schedules, as applicable) are the exclusive representations and warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied, of the Parties, including as to the condition, value or quality of the Purchased Assets, the Purchased Equity, the Issued Equity (other than as provided for in any Assignment of Units by and among the parties thereto delivered pursuant to Section 2.11 relating to the Issued Equity), the ABG Equity or the financial condition, business, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, and the Parties hereby specifically disclaim any other representations or warranties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, none of the Parties has made any representation or warranty with respect to any projections, forecasts, plans, budgets or other estimates of future revenues, expenses, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, or any component of any of the foregoing, or any other forward-looking information, regarding the Purchased Assets, the Companies, their Subsidiaries, the Issued Equity, the ABG Equity or the Transactions.

(b) Each Party acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Related Persons or Seller Related Persons, as applicable, that other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III, Article IV and Article V (as modified by the Schedules, as applicable) or as provided for in any Assignment of Units by and among the parties thereto relating to the Issued Equity and delivered pursuant to Section 2.11, (i) no Seller Related Person, Buyer Related Person, or any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty, and none of the Buyer, the Sellers, the other Buyer Related Persons or the other Seller Related Persons is relying on and hereby disclaims any other representation or warranty, in each case, either express or implied, with respect to the Purchased Assets, the Purchased Equity, the Companies and their Subsidiaries, the Issued Equity, the ABG Equity or the Transactions, and each of the Sellers, on behalf of itself and the other Sellers Related Persons, and Buyers, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Related Persons, expressly disclaims any and all

liability that may be based on any such information, statements or disclosure or errors therein or omissions therefrom, (ii) no Buyer Related Person or Seller Related Person shall have any claim against any Sellers Related Person or Buyer Related Person, respectively, resulting from any statements, information, documents or materials provided or made available to any Buyer Related Person or Seller Related Person, whether orally or in writing, including any such projections, forecasts, estimates, plans, budgets or other forward-looking information, or any material provided in any “data room”, confidential information memorandum, management presentation, due diligence discussion or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions, and any such claim is hereby expressly waived, and (iii) each of the Buyers, on behalf of itself and the other Buyer Related Persons, and each of Sellers, on behalf of itself and the other Seller Related Persons acknowledges and agrees to the other Parties’ express disavowal and disclaimer of any other representations and warranties and/or errors or omissions in any materials, in each case, as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, the Canadian Company is issuing, and the Equity Seller is subscribing for, the Subscribed Equity “AS IS, WHERE IS” without any express or implied representation, warranty or indemnity as between such Parties.

Section 7.4 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnities. Subject to the limitations provided in Section 7.4(c):

(i) The Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify and save the Buyer Related Persons harmless for and from, and shall pay for, any Losses suffered by, imposed upon or asserted against any Buyer Related Person as a result of, in respect of, connected with or arising out of, under or pursuant to:

(1) any failure of any Seller to perform or fulfill any of its covenants under this Agreement;

(2) any Excluded Liability; and

(3) any of the matters set forth in Section 7.4(a)(i)(3) of the Disclosure Schedule, provided that under no circumstances shall Sellers have any liability to any Buyer Related Person under this Section 7.4(a) for, and the Buyer Related Persons shall not have the right to claim or recover from Sellers, any damages calculated using a “multiplier” or any other such method having a similar effect, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, howsoever caused or on any theory of liability, except to the extent awarded to a third party.

(ii) Equity Buyer shall indemnify and save the Seller Related Persons and the IP Buyer Related Persons harmless for and from, and shall pay for, any Losses suffered by, imposed upon or asserted against any Seller Related Person or any IP Buyer Related Person as a result of, in respect of, connected with or arising out of, under or pursuant to:

(1) any failure of Equity Buyer to perform or fulfill any of its covenants under this Agreement; or

(2) any breach, default or violation of any representation or warranty of Equity Buyer in Article V.

(iii) ABG and IP Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and save the Seller Related Persons and the Equity Buyer Related Persons harmless for and from, and shall pay for, any Losses suffered by, imposed upon or asserted against any Seller Related Person or any Equity Buyer Related Person as a result of, in respect of, connected with or arising out of, under or pursuant to:

(1) any failure of IP Buyer or ABG to perform or fulfill any of its covenants under this Agreement; or

(2) any breach, default or violation of any representation or warranty of IP Buyer or ABG in Article V.

(iv) The liability of each Buyer under this Agreement, including with respect to any breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein, shall be several and not joint and several, and no Buyer shall have any liability for any breach by the other Buyer or ABG of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of such other Buyer or ABG under this Agreement.

(b) Materiality Scrape. For purposes of determining whether there is a breach of representations and warranties given by any Party and calculating Losses pursuant to this Section 7.4, such representations and warranties will be deemed to have been made without the inclusion of limitations or qualifications as to materiality, such as the words or expressions “material,” “materially,” “Material Adverse Effect,” “immaterial,” “in all material respects” or words or expressions of similar import.

(c) Limitations on Liability. Subject to Section 7.6:

(i) The maximum aggregate liability of any Party for Losses pursuant to Section 7.4(a) shall not exceed the Asset Purchase Price less the Subscription Price, actually received by the Sellers.

(ii) Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at Law of any Person to mitigate any Losses which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by a Party of any representation or warranty or its breach of any covenant hereunder.

(iii) No Person shall be entitled to double recovery for any claim even though the claim may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants made by any Party in this Agreement.

(iv) No Equity Buyer Related Person shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.4(a) for any Loss (or portion thereof) to the extent such Loss has actually been

taken into account in a manner that increases the Subscription Price (as finally adjusted pursuant to Section 2.9).

(d) Survival.

(i) The obligation of indemnification set out in Section 7.4(a) shall survive Closing and continue in full force and effect indefinitely, except for the obligations of indemnification arising from Section 7.4(a)(i)(1), Section 7.4(a)(ii) and Section 7.4(a)(iii), which will be subject to the limitations regarding survival of representations and warranties, and covenants, set forth in Section 7.1.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario) or any other statute, the period within which an Indemnitee may commence a proceeding in respect of a Claim for indemnification will be two (2) years from and after the date on which the Indemnitor received notice of such Claim for indemnification from the applicable Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitor received such notice prior to the end of the applicable time period specified in this Section 7.4(d). For the avoidance of doubt, the two (2) year period in the preceding sentence is a limitation on the time to commence a proceeding following notice and shall not reduce, limit or otherwise affect the survival periods set forth in this Section 7.4(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the survival periods set forth in this Section 7.4(d) shall be tolled with respect to any Claim for indemnification for which notice has been given to the Indemnitor prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, until such Claim has been finally resolved. Any applicable limitation period is extended or varied to the full extent permitted by Law to give effect to this Section 7.4(d).

(e) Purchase Price Adjustment. Any payment made by any Seller as an Indemnitor pursuant to Section 7.4(a) will constitute a dollar-for-dollar decrease of the Asset Purchase Price and any payment made by Buyer as an Indemnitor pursuant to Section 7.4(a) to any Seller will constitute a dollar-for-dollar increase of the Asset Purchase Price.

(f) Third-Party Claims

(i) If any Person who is entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.4 (an “Indemnitee”) receives written notice or otherwise becomes aware of the assertion or commencement by a third party of any claim or Proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”) with respect to any matter for which a Party (an “Indemnitor”) is or may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, then the Indemnitee shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, provide written notice thereof to the Indemnitor, including a description in reasonable detail of the Third-Party Claim, the amount of Losses that have been or may be incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith, and any other relevant information in the Indemnitee’s possession relating thereto; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice or any delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations except to the extent (and only to the extent) that such delay actually prejudiced the defenses available to the Indemnitor or materially increased the amount of liability borne by the Indemnitor.

(ii) The Indemnitor shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, to assume and thereafter conduct the defense, negotiation and settlement of such Third-Party Claim, provided that:

(1) Such defense, negotiation and settlement shall be undertaken diligently and at the sole cost of the Indemnitor and, if the Indemnitee has elected to participate in the defense, negotiation and settlement of such Third-Party Claim, in cooperation with the Indemnitee.

(2) The Indemnitor shall acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify and save harmless the Indemnitee in respect of such Third-Party Claim, subject to the limitations contained herein.

(3) The counsel chosen by the Indemnitor must be approved by the Indemnitee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(4) The Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense, negotiation and settlement of such Third-Party Claim, including by retaining counsel of its own choosing at its own expense; provided, however, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitor, a conflict of interest exists between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee that would make such separate representation advisable and, subject to Section 7.4(f)(ii)(5), the Indemnitee consents in writing to the defense, negotiation and settlement of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnitor, the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel retained by the Indemnitee in each applicable jurisdiction shall be borne by the Indemnitor.

(5) If, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, (a) the Indemnitor is also a party to the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnitee determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, (b) the Indemnitor fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnitee of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim, or (c) such Third-Party Claim relates to (i) Tax matters that may be expected to have a material impact on Taxes of any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries for any Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date, (ii) any matter that represents or involves a material reputational risk for any of the Buyers, their Affiliates or the Companies and their Subsidiaries, (iii) any matter that seeks injunctive, equitable or other non-monetary relief, (iv) any matter that involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, or (v) any matter that involves a material commercial counterparty to any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries, then the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to conduct the defense, negotiation and settlement of such Third-Party Claim.

(6) The Indemnitor shall not be entitled to conduct the defense, negotiation and settlement of such Third-Party Claim if such Third-Party Claim is indemnifiable under the R&W Insurance Policy and such Third-Party Claim has not been denied coverage thereunder.

(7) The Indemnitor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from all liabilities arising out of or relating to such Third-Party Claim, (ii) does not require any admission of fault or liability by the Indemnitee, and (iii) involves only the payment of money in respect of such Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (provided that such payment is made by the Indemnitor simultaneously with the entering into of such settlement, compromise or consent) and does not impose any other obligation, restriction, covenant, condition or term (including any injunctive or other non-monetary relief) on the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates.

(8) The Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of the status of any Third-Party Claim for which it has assumed the defense.

(iii) If the Indemnitor elects to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.4(f), then, so long as the Indemnitor is diligently contesting such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall (i) reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation and settlement of such Third-Party Claim, including by making available to the Indemnitor all relevant personnel, records, documents and information in its possession or control as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor (in each case, in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Indemnitee), and (ii) not compromise or settle, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the Indemnitee waives its right to indemnification by the Indemnitor in respect of such compromise, settlement or consent.

(iv) If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim within the thirty (30) day period referred to above or fails to conduct such defense in a diligent manner, the Indemnitee shall have the right to conduct the defense thereof with counsel of its choosing at the expense of the Indemnitor; provided, that (i) the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Third-Party Claim (at its sole cost), (ii) the Indemnitee shall keep the Indemnitor reasonably informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitee shall not compromise or settle, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(g) Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party is acting as trustee and agent for the other Buyer Related Persons or Seller Related Persons, as the case may be, on whose behalf and for whose benefit the indemnity in Section 7.4, is provided and that such other Buyer Related Persons or Seller Related Persons shall have the full right and entitlement to take the benefit of and enforce such indemnity notwithstanding that they may not individually be parties to this Agreement. Each Party agrees that the other Party may enforce the indemnity for and on behalf of such other Buyer Related Persons or Seller Related Persons and, in such event, the Party from whom indemnification is sought will not in any Proceeding to enforce the indemnity by or on behalf of such other Buyer Related Persons or Seller Related Persons assert any defence based on the absence of authority or consideration or privity of Contract and irrevocably waives the benefit of any such defence.

Section 7.5 Guarantee.

(i) Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Buyer Related Persons the observance and due, punctual and complete performance and discharge by each Seller of all of its obligations under this Agreement (including payment in full of any amounts payable by each Seller hereunder), according to the terms hereof and as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented in accordance with the terms hereof (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

(ii) Guarantor hereby agrees that his obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of, and not in any way affected by (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement against any Seller, (ii) any waiver, change, modification or amendment of this Agreement, (iii) the absence of any action or proceeding by or on behalf of any Buyer to enforce this Agreement, (iv) the recovery of any judgment, order or ruling against any Seller or any other Person or any action or proceeding to ensure the same, (v) the failure of any Buyer to resort to, foreclose upon, or exhaust any other security or recourse available to any Buyer in connection with this Agreement, (vi) any bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of, or similar proceedings involving any Seller or any related party, (vii) any Buyer’s exercise or non-exercise or delay in exercising any of its rights under this Section 7.5, (viii) any assignment of this Agreement, (ix) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right that any Buyer may have against any Seller or any other Person, or (x) any other circumstance, occurrences or events which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of Guarantor or which may otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor other than the defense that the obligations guaranteed under this section have been paid or satisfied in full. None of the Buyers shall be required to first bring an action against any Seller to establish its right to payment or performance under this Agreement, and Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer shall be entitled to enforce directly against him any of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any other Person of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance of this guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations guaranteed under this Section 7.5 shall be joint and several obligations as it pertains to Guarantor and each Seller. No Buyer shall be obligated to file any claim related to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that any Seller becomes subject to a bankruptcy,

insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, or reorganization of, or similar proceedings and the failure of any Buyer to so file shall not affect Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. In the event that any payment to any Buyer hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever in accordance with the terms hereof, Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder as if such payment had not been made. This is a guarantee of payment and performance and not collection.

(iii) This Section 7.5 shall continue to be effective if any Seller merges, amalgamates or consolidates with or into another Person, loses its separate legal identity, experiences a change in ownership or control, or ceases to exist.

Section 7.6 Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any claim, right or remedy against any Person arising out of or relating to Fraud.

Article VIII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement, together, constitute the sole and entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or the Confidentiality Agreement. This Section 8.1 shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by any of the Parties that any prior agreements or understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof exist, other than the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 8.2 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder, shall be assigned by any Party (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein, Buyers, on behalf of themselves and the other Buyer Related Persons, acknowledges and agrees that the Sellers may, at any time following the Closing, unconditionally and absolutely assign, including in connection with a dissolution of a Seller and/or its direct and indirect partners, any and all rights, interests or obligations hereunder, if any, to one or more direct or indirect members, partners, stockholders, shareholders, Affiliates, parent of, or holders of any equity interest in, any tier, of Sellers without the consent of the Buyers, provided that the Sellers shall remain jointly and severally liable with any such assignees for all their obligations under this Agreement, and the Buyers hereby consent to any such assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein, each of the Sellers, on behalf of themselves and the other Seller Related Persons, acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer may, at any time following the Closing, unconditionally and absolutely assign any and all rights, interests or obligations hereunder, if any, to any Affiliate thereof, any purchaser of the securities or assets of such Buyer, or any lender of such Buyer, without the consent of the Sellers or the other Buyer, provided that such Buyer shall remain jointly and severally liable with any such assignee for all its obligations under this Agreement, and the Sellers hereby consent to any such assignment.

Section 8.5 Construction; InterpretationThe term “this Agreement” means this Agreement together with the Schedules and exhibits hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions

of this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties. Further, prior drafts of this Agreement or any ancillary agreements hereto or the fact that any clauses have been added, deleted or otherwise modified from any prior drafts of this Agreement or any ancillary agreements hereto shall not be used as an aid of construction or otherwise constitute evidence of the intent of the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of such prior drafts. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (a) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and exhibits, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Agreement; (b) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (c) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (d) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (e) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to U.S. dollars. Where a reference in this Agreement is made (i) to any agreement (including this Agreement), Contract or Law, such reference shall be to (except as context may otherwise require) the agreement, Contract or Law, as amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time (in the case of an agreement or Contract, to the extent permitted by the terms thereof) and (ii) to any Law, such reference shall also be to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to a Person includes its trustees, heirs, administrators, liquidators, executors, successors and permitted assigns. All capitalized terms used in the Schedules have the meanings ascribed to them in this Agreement. If the date on which any action is required or permitted to be taken under this Agreement by a Person is not a Business Day, such action shall be required or permitted to be taken on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day. When computing any time period in this Agreement, the following rules shall apply: (1) the day marking the commencement of the time period shall be excluded but the day of the deadline or expiry of the time period shall be included; and (2) any day that is not a Business Day shall be included in the calculation of the time period; however, if the day of the deadline or expiry of the time period falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the deadline or time period shall be extended to the next following Business Day. The phrases “delivered”, “made available”, “furnished” and phrases of similar import mean that the information or document referred to has been posted and made available to the Buyers or their Representatives no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date hereof through the “Project Forever” virtual data room hosted on Donnelley Financial Solutions’ Venue.

Section 8.6 Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and Schedules are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any information disclosed in any Schedule shall be deemed to be made for purposes of the Section of this Agreement to which such Schedule corresponds in number and any Section of this Agreement to which such disclosure is related if it is manifestly apparent on the face of such disclosure that it also pertains to such other Section of this Agreement. The inclusion of any specific item in any section of the Schedules is not intended to imply that the item so included is material or constitutes a Companies Material Adverse Effect (unless such item is disclosed in response to a representation and warranty that requires the disclosure of material items or a Companies Material Adverse Effect). The Schedules and the information and disclosures contained therein do not constitute or imply, and shall not be construed as, (a) an admission of any liability or obligation of Sellers or any of their Affiliates, (b) a standard for what is or is not in the Ordinary Course of Business or any other standard contrary to the standards contained in the Agreement (except, in each case, to the extent that such information or disclosure is disclosed in response to a representation or

warranty that requires disclosure using such standard), or (c) an expansion of the scope or effect of any of the representations, warranties and covenants set out in the Agreement. Disclosure of any information in the Schedules that is not strictly required under this Agreement has been made for informational purposes only.

Section 8.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Subject to Section 8.2, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6.3, Section 7.2, Section 7.4 and Section 8.10 (which, without limiting their terms, are intended as stipulations for the irrevocable benefit of the Director Indemnified Parties, Willkie, Goodmans and the other Persons identified as being third-party beneficiaries of Section 6.3, Section 7.2, Section 7.4 and Section 8.10 (collectively, the “Beneficiaries”)), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge to each of the Beneficiaries their direct rights against the applicable Party under Section 6.3, Section 7.2, Section 7.4 and Section 8.10, which are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each applicable Beneficiary and as applicable, his or her heirs, his, her or its successors and assigns or legal Representatives.

Section 8.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable, (a) all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and (b) the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend or modify this Agreement to replace such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision with a valid, legal, and enforceable provision giving effect to the Parties’ intent to the maximum extent permitted by Law.

Section 8.9 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail or by electronic signature delivered by electronic transmission (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the reasonable request of any Party, the other Party shall re-execute the original form of this Agreement and deliver such form to the requesting Party. No Party shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

Section 8.10 Legal Representation. Each of IP Buyer, on behalf of itself and its other Buyer Related Persons, and Equity Buyer, on behalf of itself and its other Buyer Related Persons (including after the Equity Closing Time, the Companies and their Subsidiaries), acknowledges and agrees that Sellers, the Companies, their Subsidiaries and certain of their Affiliates have retained Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP (“Willkie”) and Goodmans LLP (“Goodmans”) to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that Willkie or Goodmans have not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that no other party to this Agreement or Person has the status of a client of Willkie or Goodmans for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof.

Buyers and the Companies hereby waive, on behalf of themselves and each of their Affiliates, (a) any claim they have or may have that Willkie or Goodmans has a conflict of interest in connection with or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation, (b) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Equity Closing Time between Buyers or any of its Affiliates (including, in respect of the Equity Buyer after the Equity Closing Time, the Companies or their Subsidiaries) and Sellers, Willkie and Goodmans may represent any such party in such dispute even though the interest of any such party may be directly adverse to Buyers or any of its Affiliates (including, in respect of the Equity Buyer after the Equity Closing Time, the Companies or their Subsidiaries), and even though Willkie and Goodmans may have represented the Companies or their Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute, or may be handling ongoing matters for Buyers, the Companies or their Subsidiaries. Buyers further agree that, (i) as to all communications between Willkie or Goodmans, on the one hand, and Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries), on the other hand, that relate in any way to the Transactions, the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to any evidentiary privilege, in each case, in respect of such communications belong to Sellers or such Affiliates and may be controlled by Sellers or such Affiliates and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyers, the Companies or their Subsidiaries, and (ii) as to all communications between Willkie or Goodmans, on the one hand, and the Companies or their Subsidiaries, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the Transactions, the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence and all other rights to evidentiary privilege, in each case, in respect of such communications belong to Sellers and may be controlled by Sellers and shall not pass to or be claimed by Buyers, the Companies or their Subsidiaries. Buyers agree to take, and to cause its Affiliates to take, all commercially reasonable steps necessary to implement the intent of this Section 8.10. The Parties hereto further agree that Willkie, Goodmans and their respective partners and employees are third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.10.

Section 8.11 Governing Law; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) This Agreement is governed by, and will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the Province of Ontario without regard to its conflicts of law rules and any other Law that would cause the application of the Laws (including the statute of limitations) of any jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario and the federal Laws of Canada applicable therein.

(b) Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts situated in the City of Toronto (and appellate courts therefrom), and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or that such court provides an inappropriate forum.

(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 8.11.

Section 8.12 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed and delivered by each of the Parties. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and any purported amendment by any Party or Parties effected in a manner which does not comply with this Section 8.12 shall be void. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyers may amend or modify this Agreement by a written agreement executed and delivered by each of them, without the consent of the Sellers, solely to the extent that such amendment or modification (i) relates to the rights or obligations as between the Buyers and (ii) does not affect any rights or obligations of the Sellers.

Section 8.13 Time of the Essence. With respect to all dates and time periods set forth or referenced in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 8.14 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other Party contained herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other Party contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by any other Party pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance by any other Party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein, provided that, in each case, any such extension or waiver in favour of any Seller shall be approved by both Buyers. Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 8.15 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that the failure to comply with a covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement may give rise to irreparable injury to a Party inadequately compensable in damages. Accordingly, a Party may seek to enforce the performance of this Agreement by injunction or specific performance upon application to a court of competent

jurisdiction without proof of actual damage (and without the requirement of posting a bond or other security).
