Section 2.5            Certain Covenants Related to Seller Contracts.

(a)          Obligation to Maintain Seller Contracts Until Closing. From and after the date hereof, Sellers shall not reject or alter in any material respect (other than alterations in the Ordinary Course) the terms of Seller Contracts unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser or as provided below in Section 2.5(f).  Sellers shall provide timely and proper written notice of the motion seeking entry of the Sale Orders to all parties to the Seller Contracts (excluding any Seller or Subsidiary thereof) and take all other actions reasonable and necessary

28

to cause such Seller Contracts to be assumed by Sellers and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or section 11.3 of the CCAA to the extent that such Seller Contracts are Assigned Contracts at Closing or are assumed and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement.  Without limiting or otherwise amending Seller’s obligations hereunder, at the Closing or at such time as a Designated Seller Contract is assigned to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement, as applicable, Purchaser shall assume the obligations under each Assigned Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and Section 11.3 of the CCAA and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all of the requirements of Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and Section 11.3 of the CCAA necessary to permit such assumption and assignment.

(b)          Amendments.  At Purchaser’s request and sole cost and expense, Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser (i) to allow Purchaser to enter into an amendment to any Designated Seller Contract, to be effective upon assumption by Purchaser of such Designated Seller Contract as an Assigned Contract, and shall cooperate with Purchaser to the extent reasonably requested in negotiations with the counterparties thereto, or (ii) to otherwise amend any Seller Contracts, to be effective upon assumption by Purchaser of such Designated Seller Contract as an Assigned Contract, to the extent such amendments would not adversely affect any Seller; provided, that Sellers shall not be required to enter into any such amendment if such amendment would result in (x) any Liability to any Seller that is not an Assumed Liability (other than de minimis Liabilities) or (y) an assumption by any Seller of such Designated Seller Contract, unless such Designated Seller Contract will be assigned to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser at the time of such assumption.

(c)           Excluding or Adding Assigned Contracts Prior to Closing.  Purchaser shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the day that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, to notify Sellers in writing of any Designated Seller Contract that it does not wish to assume, or (ii) during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the day that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Sale Hearings occur, to notify Sellers in writing of any Seller Contract (including any Contract considered an Excluded Seller Contract) that it wishes to add as a Designated Seller Contract, and Schedule 2.1(b)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter shall be deemed amended accordingly for all purposes hereunder upon receipt of any such notice, in each case, without any adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price.  Any Contract removed from Schedule 2.1(b)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) shall be deemed an Excluded Seller Contract. Any Contract added to Schedule 2.1(b)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) shall be deemed a Designated Seller Contract.

(d)          Third Party Consents. Sellers shall (x) provide notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to each counterparty to each Seller Contract and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Consents required to permit the assignment to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as applicable, of the Acquired Assets (including each of the Designated Seller Contracts). As part of the Sale Motion (or, as necessary in one or more

29

separate motions), Sellers shall request that by virtue of a Seller providing no less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice of its intent to assume and assign to Purchaser the Designated Seller Contracts, the Bankruptcy Courts deem any non-debtor party to any such Designated Seller Contract that does not file an objection with the Bankruptcy Courts during such notice period to have given any required Consent to the assumption of such Designated Seller Contract by such Seller and assignment to Purchaser if, and to the extent that, pursuant to the Sale Order or other Order of the Bankruptcy Court, such Seller is authorized to assume and assign such Designated Seller Contract to Purchaser and Purchaser is authorized to accept such Designated Seller Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and Section 11.3 of the CCAA.

(e)           Non-Assigned Acquired Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Acquired Asset (including any Designated Seller Contract) is not capable of being assigned under Section 363 and Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or Section 11.3 of the CCAA (or, if applicable, pursuant to other applicable Laws or the terms of such Contract, Lease, or Consent) to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as applicable, at the Closing without the Consent of any Third Party (including a Government Entity) and such requisite Consent has not been obtained (or deemed to have been obtained) as of the Closing (in the case of any such Contract, a “Non-Assigned Contract”), then, unless such Consent is subsequently obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to sell, transfer or assign, directly or indirectly, such Acquired Asset (including any Non-Assigned Contract) or any obligation or benefit arising thereunder if an attempted direct or indirect sale, transfer or assignment thereof, without the Consent of a Third Party (including a Government Entity), would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such Third Party or would be ineffective with respect to any party to a Contract concerning such Acquired Asset. Any payment to be made in order to obtain any Consent required by the terms of any Non-Assigned Contract shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser. From and after the Closing, Sellers shall (x) continue to maintain (and shall not reject or alter (or attempt to alter) the terms of) any Non-Assigned Contract unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Purchaser, (y) upon request therefor from Purchaser, provide reasonable cooperation in obtaining the Consent of any Third Party required for the assignment of such Non-Assigned Contract to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser, as applicable, and (z) during the four (4) month period following Closing (or, if earlier, until the conversion or dismissal of the Bankruptcy Proceedings), and subject to any approval of the Bankruptcy Courts that may be required, reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and as Purchaser directs, to provide to Purchaser the benefits enjoyed by Sellers in respect of such Non-Assigned Contract (including by enforcing for the account of Purchaser any rights of such Seller under such Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such Contract in accordance with the terms thereof upon the written direction of Purchaser)); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(e) shall require Purchaser to reimburse Sellers for any attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(f)           Rejection of Excluded Seller Contracts.  As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Sellers shall reject all Excluded Seller Contracts; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Sellers reject any Seller Contract related to any Non-Assigned Contract without the prior written consent of Purchaser. Sellers shall be responsible for any rejection damages owing to the counterparty to an Excluded Seller Contract.

30

(g)           Cure Costs. Sellers shall prepare an exhibit of all Designated Seller Contracts (the “Assumption Schedule”) which shall (x) be filed with the Bankruptcy Courts no later than December 12, 2016 and (y) set forth the proposed Cure Costs (which proposed Cure Costs shall be submitted to Purchaser for review and comment reasonably in advance prior to filing thereof and shall provide Purchaser with such information in Sellers’ possession as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser so that it may verify such Cure Costs) and an objection deadline for any counterparty to object to such proposed amounts which deadline shall be at least five (5) days prior to the Sale Hearing.  On or before December 12, 2016, Sellers shall properly serve each counterparty to a Designated Seller Contract a notice, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, setting forth the amount necessary to satisfy any Cure Cost. Purchaser shall pay all Assumed Cure Costs and Sellers shall pay all Excess Cure Costs, in each case, at the Closing (except to the extent later payment is otherwise agreed by the other party to each such Designated Seller Contract; provided, that, Purchaser may, at Sellers’ option, cause a portion of the Closing Cash Payment to be paid on behalf of Sellers directly to the counterparties to the Designated Seller Contracts that are owed Excess Cure Costs and the amount so paid by Purchaser shall reduce the Closing Cash Payment paid to Sellers on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For purposes of this Agreement, Cure Costs shall be the amount included on the Assumption Schedule, as updated as specified below (without regard to any increased amount agreed to by Purchaser) or otherwise determined by the Bankruptcy Courts. Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser an updated estimate as of the Closing Date of the Cure Costs no later than ten (10) days in advance of the Closing Date. To the extent Seller Contracts are identified after the date which is ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Sale Hearings occur, by Sellers or Purchaser as Seller Contracts that will be Designated Seller Contracts and, as such, added to Schedule 2.1(b)(i) of the Sellers Disclosure Letter, including pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or Section 2.5(j), Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to determine the Cure Costs, if any, with respect to such Designated Seller Contracts and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to allocate payment of such Cure Costs among the Parties.

(h)          Adequate Assurances. With respect to each Assigned Contract, Purchaser will provide adequate assurance of future performance on its behalf and on behalf of its Designated Purchasers as required under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including Section 365(f)(2)(B) thereof, and under Section 11.3 of the CCAA and shall cause its Designated Purchasers to perform thereunder as required. Purchaser and Sellers agree that they will promptly take all actions reasonably required to assist in obtaining a Bankruptcy Court finding that there has been an adequate demonstration of adequate assurance of future performance under each Assigned Contract, such as furnishing affidavits, non-confidential financial information or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Courts and making Purchaser’s and Sellers’ employees and representatives available to testify before the Bankruptcy Court.

(i)            Deemed Consent. For the purposes of this Agreement, the relevant Sellers shall be deemed to have obtained all required Consents in respect of the assignment of any Designated Seller Contract if, and to the extent that, pursuant to the Sale Orders, Sellers are authorized to assume and assign to the Designated Purchasers such Designated Seller Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or Section 11.3 of the CCAA, as applicable, and any applicable Cure Cost has been satisfied as provided in Section 2.5(g).

31

(j)            Seller Contract Identification. Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall use reasonable commercial efforts to identify any Seller Contracts that are not listed on Schedule 2.1(b)(i) or otherwise expressly excluded from the Acquired Assets in the Sellers Disclosure Letter, and following the Closing, Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate in identifying any such Seller Contracts, and the party identifying any such Seller Contract shall promptly notify the other party in writing of the existence thereof.  Any such Seller Contract identified prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the date on which the Sale Hearings occur, shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.5 (including with respect to Purchaser’s rights to exclude or add it under Section 2.5(c)).  With respect to any such Seller Contract identified following the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the date on which the Sale Hearings occur, Purchaser shall have the right to notify Sellers in writing that it wishes to accept the assignment of or reject such Seller Contract, and Sellers shall use reasonable commercial efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to cause such Seller Contracts to be assigned to Purchaser or rejected by Sellers, as the case may be (including by providing notice and paying any Excess Cure Costs in a manner otherwise consistent with this Section 2.5).  For the avoidance of doubt, no further purchase price or other amounts shall be payable by Purchaser to Sellers in respect of any such assignment or rejection.

Section 2.6            Purchase Price.

(a)          Payment of Purchase Price. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, in consideration of the sale of the Acquired Assets pursuant to the terms hereof, Purchaser, on its own behalf and as agent for the relevant Designated Purchasers, shall (a) assume from Sellers the Assumed Liabilities, and (b) subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 2.6 and provisions of this Agreement regarding application of the Deposit, pay to Sellers an amount (the “Closing Purchase Price”) in cash equal to (i) the Base Purchase Price, plus or minus, as applicable (ii) the amount of the Property Tax Adjustment, as determined in accordance with the terms of Section 6.5, minus (iii) the Specified Assumed Liability Deduction Amount, minus (iv) the PCR AE Holdback Amount.  Purchaser and Sellers shall use reasonable commercial efforts to agree, in good faith, upon a mutually acceptable value of the Specified Assumed Liability Deduction Amount at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(b)          Credit Bidding; Deposit.  It is understood and agreed that a portion of the Closing Purchase Price will be used by Sellers to repay all outstanding obligations outstanding at the Closing under the DIP Credit Agreement (the “Repayable DIP Obligations”).  Unless the Repayable DIP Obligations are or will be $0 as of Closing as a result of borrowings under an Alternative DIP Credit Agreement (disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, any repayment or deemed repayment as a result of the consummation of the transactions), at any time prior to the Closing, Purchaser may deliver written notice to Sellers that it has elected to pay a portion of the Closing Purchase Price by offsetting amounts owed to Purchaser or one or more direct or indirect investors in Purchaser, or an Affiliate of the foregoing, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Repayable DIP Obligations. The portion of the Closing Purchase Price so specified by Purchaser (the “Credit Bid Amount”) shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the cash portion of the Closing Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at Closing and Purchaser shall, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 2.6, pay the portion of Closing Purchase Price in excess of the Credit Bid Amount to Sellers in cash (the “Closing Cash Payment”). The offset will be

32

effected by Purchaser tendering the obligation underlying the Credit Bid Amount to the appropriate Seller, determined in accordance with Section 2.6. To the extent that the Credit Bid Amount is less than the Repayable DIP Obligations (the “Shortfall Amount”), Sellers shall remain liable to repay the Shortfall Amount to the lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement. The Deposit Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit pursuant to the Deposit Escrow Agreement. The Deposit, plus all accrued interest or earnings thereon (net of any amounts withheld in accordance with Section 6.3(a)), if any, shall be returned to Purchaser or paid to Sellers as provided for in Section 9.2(g) or upon Closing, applied towards the Closing Cash Payment in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof.

(c)           Purchase Price Allocation.

(i)            Prior to the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall mutually agree on an allocation of the Closing Purchase Price between assets to be acquired from Sellers that are organized in the U.S., Sellers that are organized in Canada and Sellers, if any, that are organized outside of the U.S. and Canada (the “Initial Allocation”), which allocation shall (1) allocate between fifty-five percent (55%) and sixty-seven percent (67%) percent of the amount by which the Closing Purchase Price exceeds the net book value of current assets acquired by Purchaser from Sellers, to the non-current assets acquired by Purchaser from Sellers that are organized in the U.S, and (2) allocate a portion of the Closing Purchase Price to current assets acquired by Purchaser from Sellers based on the net book value of such current assets (“Initial Allocation Principle”); provided, that, if Sellers and Purchaser are unable to agree on such Initial Allocation at least ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, then the Initial Allocation shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Sellers and Purchaser, and Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall each bear 50% of the costs of such accounting firm. The accounting firm shall resolve such dispute in a manner consistent with the Initial Allocation Principle.

(ii)           Within thirty (30) days of the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a proposed allocation schedule(s) (the “Asset Allocation Schedule(s)”) allocating the Closing Purchase Price (plus specific allocation of the Assumed Liabilities that are treated as part of the purchase price for income Tax purposes, as applicable) on a dollar basis among Sellers, the Acquired Entities, the Acquired Investments and the remaining Acquired Assets; provided, that, (A) such schedule shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the principles described on Schedule 2.6(c) (unless otherwise required by a change in applicable Law), and (B) with respect to the Acquired Assets that were acquired from Sellers that are United States persons within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, such schedule shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code. The parties shall file all Tax Returns in accordance with the Asset Allocation Schedule(s) and not take any other action inconsistent therewith unless otherwise required by a final determination of a Tax Authority.

(iii)          Sellers shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Asset Allocation Schedule (the “Response Period”) to present in writing to Purchaser notice of any objections Sellers may have to the allocations set forth therein (an “Objections Notice”). Unless Sellers timely object, such Asset Allocation Schedule shall be binding on the parties without further adjustment, absent manifest error.

33

(iv)          If Sellers shall raise any objections within the Response Period, Purchaser and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute. If the parties fail to agree within fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery of the Objections Notice, then the dispute shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Sellers and Purchaser, and Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, shall each bear fifty percent (50%) of the costs of such accounting firm.

(v)           The parties shall file their Tax Returns consistent with the Initial Allocation and the Asset Allocation Schedule, in each case, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6(c).

(vi)          For purposes of calculating any Transfer Taxes payable by Purchaser (and any Designated Purchasers) in connection with Acquired Assets situated in Canada under Section 6.1(a), the Initial Allocation shall include any relevant categories of property necessary to determine the applicable Transfer Taxes and the provinces in which the Acquired Assets are situated.

Section 2.7            Closing of the Transactions Contemplated by this Agreement.

(a)          Closing; Closing Date. The completion of the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York, 10019, commencing at 10:00 a.m. local time on the date that is two (2) Business Days after the day upon which the Monitor’s Certificate has been delivered, all of the conditions set forth under Article VIII (other than conditions to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the waiver or fulfillment of those conditions) have been satisfied or, if permissible, waived by Sellers and/or Purchaser (as applicable), or on such other place, date and time as shall be mutually agreed upon in writing by Purchaser and Sellers (the day on which the Closing takes place being the “Closing Date”). Legal title, equitable title and risk of loss with respect to the Acquired Assets will transfer to Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchasers, and the Assumed Liabilities will be assumed by Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchasers, at the Closing.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, at the Closing, the purchase and sale of any Equity Interests included in the Acquired Assets will occur immediately before the sale of the other Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.

(iii)          Joint Deliveries. Each Party shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to such other Party (A) a duly executed counterpart to each Transaction Document to which such Party is a party, (B) an executed instruction letter instructing the Deposit Escrow Agent to disburse the Deposit at the Closing to Sellers in immediately available funds to accounts designated at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date by Sellers in a written notice to the Deposit Escrow Agent, and (C) any other documents reasonably requested by such other Party in order to effect, or evidence the consummation of, the transactions contemplated herein or otherwise provided for under this Agreement.

(b)           Notice of Designation.

(iii)          except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article IV, and subject to the terms of the Bankruptcy Consents, Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser shall acquire the Acquired Assets on an “as is” and “where is” basis without any warranty whatsoever, legal or conventional, at Purchaser’s own risk;

Section 3.4            Brokers. Except for fees and commissions that will be paid by Purchaser, no broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or similar fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

Section 3.5            GST and QST Registration. Purchaser, if it is acquiring Acquired Assets in Canada, and each Designated Purchaser that acquires Acquired Assets in Canada, shall be duly registered for the purposes of the Tax imposed under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and under An Act respecting the Québec Sales Tax, effective on or before the Closing

38

Date, and shall provide to Sellers its registration numbers under those statutes promptly upon receipt of same from the relevant Tax Authority.

Section 3.6            Financing. Purchaser has delivered to Sellers true and correct copies of (i) an executed equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) to Purchaser from Sagard Holdings Inc. and Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (the “Sponsors”) pursuant to which the Sponsors have committed to provide Purchaser with equity financing in the amount, and on the terms and subject to the conditions, set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”) for purpose of funding a portion of the Closing Purchase Price, and (ii) an executed debt commitment letter to Purchaser from the Debt Financing Sources party thereto (including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments thereto in effect as of the date hereof (other than any fee letters), collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”) pursuant to which the Debt Financing Sources named therein have committed to lend to Purchaser the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financings”) for the purpose of funding a portion of the Closing Purchase Price.  As of the date hereof, the Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and to the knowledge of Purchaser, have not been (and the respective commitments contemplated thereby have not been) withdrawn or terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect (except in a manner contemplated or permitted by Section 5.17), and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, no such amendment, modification, withdrawal or termination is contemplated.  Assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3, the net proceeds from the Financings available at the Closing for such purposes will be sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing. Each Commitment Letter is a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Purchaser and of the Sponsors (in the case of the Equity Commitment Letter) and, to the knowledge of Purchaser, the other parties to the Commitment Letters, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or general principles of public policy and equity.  There are no agreements, side letters or other arrangements relating to the Commitment Letters that could adversely affect the availability or amount of the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing, other than as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and compliance with the terms of any fee letter related to the Debt Financing (which fee letter does not contain any conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financings in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing).  As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Purchaser under any term or condition of the Commitment Letters. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financings, other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters.  As of the date hereof, Purchaser has fully paid (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees due and payable in connection with the Commitment Letters. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3, as of the date hereof and the compliance by Sellers with their obligations under Section 5.17(a), Purchaser has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to availability and funding of the Debt Financing contained in the Commitment Letters will not be able to be satisfied.

Section 3.7            Investment Canada Act. Purchaser is not a Non-Canadian within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act.

39

Section 3.8            Qualification.

(b)           As of the Closing, Purchaser reasonably believes it will be capable of satisfying the conditions contained in Sections 365(b)(1)(C) and 365(f)(2)(B) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Assigned Contracts.

(c)           Purchaser reasonably believes that, as of the Closing, it will be capable of satisfying the conditions contained in Section 11.3 of the CCAA with respect to the Assigned Contracts as of the date of the Sale Motion.  As of the Closing, Purchaser will be capable of satisfying the conditions contained in Section 36(7) of the CCAA.

any obligation after the date of this Agreement to make available to Purchaser or its representatives, or provide Purchaser or its representatives with (i) any information if making such information available would (A) jeopardize any attorney-client, solicitor-client or other legal privilege or (B) potentially cause Sellers to be found in contravention of any applicable Law or contravene any fiduciary duty or agreement (including any confidentiality agreement to which Sellers or any of their Affiliates are a party), it being understood that Sellers shall cooperate in any reasonable efforts and requests for waivers that would enable otherwise required disclosure to Purchaser to occur without so jeopardizing privilege or contravening such Law, duty or agreement; or (ii) any information relating to other bids or potential bids for any of the Acquired Assets.

Purchaser first advises Sellers in writing of its intention to destroy such materials and provides Sellers a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof (subject in each case to compliance with applicable Law).

Section 5.15         Reserve Payment Amount. Purchaser shall be kept reasonably informed of, and shall have full rights of participation in, the determination by the CCAA Court of any and all of the matters identified in the definition of Reserve Payment Amount (the “Reserve Payment Amount Matters”) and no Reserve Payment Amount Matter may be allowed or settled without the consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and any such allowance or settlement entered into without such consent shall not be entitled to payment from the Reserve Payment Amount.  Upon notice to the Canadian Debtors, Purchaser shall be entitled to assume the defense of any Reserve Payment Amount Matter.

Section 5.16         Name Change. Sellers and each of their Subsidiaries shall use reasonable commercial efforts to, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date), cease using all Trademarks included in the Transferred Intellectual Property (the “Business Marks”), and take such corporate and other actions necessary to change their corporate and company names to ones that are not similar to, or confusable with, the Business Marks, including any necessary filings required by applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in no event shall any such new corporate names include the following terms or phrases: “BAUER”, “MISSION”, “MAVERIK”, “CASCADE”, “EASTON” or “COMBAT”.

Section 5.17         Obligations in Respect of Financings.

(a)           From the date hereof until the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, provide to Purchaser, and shall use their reasonable commercial efforts to cause their directors, officers, employees, counsel, auditors and representatives to provide to Purchaser, such reasonable cooperation as is customary for debt financings of the type contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and as is reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with arranging and obtaining the Debt Financing (including any Alternative Financing), including, but not limited to using reasonable commercial efforts to (i) cause Sellers’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ management teams, with appropriate seniority and expertise, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to participate in (including by preparing for) a reasonable number of bank meetings and similar presentations to and with prospective lenders and rating agencies; (ii) have appropriate members of senior management of the Company execute customary authorization letters and assist with the preparation of a confidential information memorandum or similar offering document (including a private supplement) for the Debt Financing and customary rating agency presentations; (iii) execute and deliver such documents with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including, to the extent required by the Debt Commitment Letter, providing a borrowing base certificate) as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral (including obtaining customary payoff letters and the release of any existing Liens); (iv) furnish Purchaser and its Debt Financing as promptly as practicable the financial statements required to be made available under Section 9(c) of Exhibit B of the Debt Commitment Letter and financial data or inputs reasonably necessary for the preparation of pro forma financial statements and projections reasonably required to be made available pursuant to

69

Sections 9(a) and 9(b) of Exhibit B of the Debt Commitment Letter; (v) cooperate with Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to obtain consents, legal opinions, surveys and title insurance, as reasonably requested by Purchaser; (vi) providing access at reasonable times during business hours for reasonable inventory appraisals and field examinations by third party auditors and providing information necessary for determining the applicable “borrowing base” to the extent reasonable and customary for asset-based loan facilities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter; and (vii) to the extent requested by Purchaser in writing at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, furnishing Purchaser and its financing sources promptly, and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with all documentation and other information required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act, that has been reasonably requested by Purchaser and/or the Debt Financing Sources. To the extent that Purchaser informs Sellers that it wishes to raise alternative or additional financing on or before Closing, then this Section 5.17(a) shall also apply to such alternative or additional financing.

(b)           Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to (i) arrange and obtain the Financings on terms and conditions (including any applicable “flex” provisions) described in the Commitment Letters and any related fee letter, (ii) satisfy all terms and conditions applicable to Purchaser set forth in the Commitment Letters (including any applicable “flex” provisions) that are within its control, (iii) maintain in effect the Commitment Letters, negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions substantially consistent with the Commitment Letters, and (iv) upon satisfaction of the conditions contained in such definitive agreements, consummate the Financings at the Closing; provided, however, that if funds in the amounts and on the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter become unavailable to Purchaser on the terms and conditions set forth therein (after giving effect to any “flex” provisions contained therein or in any related fee letter), Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient, when added to any portion of the Debt Financing that remains available (or after taking into account any increase in the Equity Financing), to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that if Purchaser proceeds with Alternative Financing, it, shall be subject to the same obligations, taken as a whole, with respect to such Alternative Financing as set forth in this Section 5.17 with respect to the Debt Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 5.17 shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Purchaser be deemed or construed to require, Purchaser to (A) to seek or incur Alternative Financing or incur the Debt Financing if any term thereof is less favorable than any applicable economic provision of the Debt Commitment Letter or any related fee letter (including any “flex” provision), or on any other terms that are less favorable to Purchaser, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or any related fee letter, (B) pay any fees in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and any related fee letter (whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise) or (C) seek the Equity Financing from a Person other than the Sponsors.

(c)           Purchaser shall give the Company prompt notice of any material adverse change with respect to such Debt Financing. Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company of (i) the expiration or termination of the Debt Commitment Letter prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any written refusal by any party to the Debt

70

Commitment Letter to provide its portion of the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, (iii) any material breach or default by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or definitive document related to the Debt Financing, or (iv) receipt of any written notice from any party to the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to any actual breach, default, termination or repudiation of the Debt Commitment Letter. Purchaser shall not replace, amend or waive the Debt Commitment Letter (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any provision of a related fee letter (including the “market flex” provisions therein) without the Company’s prior written consent if such replacement, amendment or waiver reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (without a corresponding increase in the Equity Financing), amends the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the Closing or make the funding of the Debt Financing materially less likely to occur.  Purchaser shall provide to the Company copies of any commitment letter associated with any Alternative Financing as well as, upon written request of the Company, any amendment or waiver of any debt commitment letter (including the Debt Commitment Letter) that is permitted hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall be permitted to amend the Debt Commitment Letter (and any fee letter related thereto) to add or replace lenders (and Affiliates of such lenders) as a party thereto.

Section 5.18         Pre-Closing Reorganization. Notwithstanding Section 5.7 and any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge that Sellers and the Acquired Entities shall be entitled to participate in a pre-closing reorganization set forth on Schedule 5.18 of the Sellers Disclosure Letter (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization”) and take all actions necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Pre-Closing Reorganization, in each case as long as such Pre-Closing Reorganization does not delay or impede Closing and, to the extent involving any Acquired Entity, does not cause any violation of any Law to which it is subject or any breach or default under any Contract to which it is party.  All Taxes and other Liabilities arising from the Pre-Closing Reorganization shall be Excluded Liabilities (other than any such Taxes or Liabilities of the Acquired Entities to the extent up to the PCR AE Holdback Amount).  Sellers may change the Pre-Closing Reorganization; provided, that Purchaser’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, shall be required to implement any such change if (a) such change involves Acquired Entities, or (b) such change results in a material risk of an unreimbursed cost or Liability to Purchaser.

Section 5.19         Wind Down. Purchaser shall, following the Closing Date, make available to Sellers such Transferred Employees to provide assistance with the wind-down of Sellers as the Company may reasonably request solely for the following purposes: (a) corporate dissolution filings with respect to the Securities and Exchange Commission, (b) corporate dissolution filings with respect to the Ontario Securities Commission, (c) U.S. final tax period filings and (d) Canadian final tax period filings. In furtherance of the foregoing, Purchaser shall be responsible for the fees and expenses, subject to a limit of $430,000 in the aggregate, associated with such wind-down activities; provided, that in no event shall Purchaser be liable for any fees or expenses incurred by Sellers or any of their respective advisors or legal counsel.

ARTICLE VI
TAX MATTERS

Section 6.1            Transfer Taxes.

(a)           The Parties agree that the purchase price for the Acquired Assets is exclusive of any Transfer Taxes resulting from or arising in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, and any Transfer Taxes shall be borne by Sellers, excluding GST and QST, which shall be borne entirely by Purchaser.  Subject to Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.2, Sellers shall promptly pay when due directly to the appropriate Tax Authority, or promptly reimburse Purchaser upon demand and delivery of proof of payment, all such Transfer Taxes, and shall file all Tax Returns required to be filed in connection therewith (unless otherwise required by applicable Law). On Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers any applicable GST or QST.

(b)           If any Seller wishes to claim any exemption relating to, or a reduced rate of, Transfer Taxes, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein or the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated therein, such Seller shall be solely responsible for ensuring that such exemption or election applies and, in that regard, shall provide Purchaser or any Designated Purchaser prior to Closing with its permit number or other similar registration numbers and/or any appropriate certificate of exemption, election and/or other document or evidence to support the claimed entitlement to such exemption or reduced rate by such Seller, as the case may be. Purchaser shall cooperate to the extent necessary to obtain any such exemption or reduced rate, including under Section 1146(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

(c)           Each relevant Seller undertakes to use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Purchaser on or before the Closing Date a certificate (a “Clearance Certificate”) pursuant to Section 6 of the Retail Sales Tax Act (Ontario) or similar legislation in those jurisdictions in which the Acquired Assets are located, to the extent such relevant Seller was registered for purposes of the Retail Sales Tax Act (Ontario) or similar legislation, indicating that such Seller has paid all provincial sales taxes collectable or payable by such Seller up to the Closing Date or has entered into satisfactory arrangements for the payment of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, until such time as the appropriate Clearance Certificate(s) have been provided to Purchaser, the Sellers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser (and any Designated Purchasers), its officers, directors, employees and controlling persons for any provincial sales tax, penalties and interest payable or assessed for failure to obtain a Clearance Certificate.

Section 6.2            Tax Elections.

(a)           If applicable, on Closing, each relevant Seller and Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) shall execute jointly an election under section 167 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and section 75 of An Act respecting the Quebec Sales Tax to relieve the sale of the Acquired Assets from GST and QST. Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) shall file such elections no later than the filing date for its GST and QST returns for the reporting period in which the Closing takes place. Notwithstanding such election(s), in the event it is

72

determined by the CRA or Revenu Quebec that there is a liability of Purchaser (or a Designated Purchaser) to pay, or of a Seller to collect and remit, any Taxes payable under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) or An Act respecting the Québec Sales Tax in respect of the sale and transfer of the Acquired Assets, such Taxes shall be paid by Purchaser (or a Designated Purchaser) and Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers shall indemnify and save Sellers (and any present or former directors and officers of any Seller) harmless, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any such Taxes and costs payable resulting from such determination. If it is determined that the elections are not available, Sellers agree to provide reasonable cooperation to Purchaser or the Designated Purchaser to expedite Purchaser’s or the Designated Purchaser’s claims for input tax credits, input tax refunds or rebates of GST and QST.

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

(c)           If available, Purchaser (or the relevant Designated Purchaser) and each Seller, as applicable, shall elect jointly in the prescribed form under section 22 of the Tax Act, section 184 of the Taxation Act, if applicable, and the corresponding provisions of any other applicable Tax statute as to the sale of the applicable Accounts Receivable and designate in such election an amount equal to the portion of the purchase price allocated to such Accounts Receivable pursuant to Section 2.6(c). This election, or these elections, shall be made within the time prescribed for such elections.

Section 6.3            Withholding Taxes.

(a)           Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Purchaser and Sellers, as applicable, shall have the right to deduct and withhold from any payments to be made hereunder such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld under applicable Law, and to collect any necessary Tax forms, including IRS Forms W-8 or W-9, as applicable, or any similar information, from Purchaser, Sellers and any other recipients of payments hereunder; provided, that, assuming Sellers deliver Purchaser the certificates described in this Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b), and assuming that all representations and warranties of Sellers set out in this Agreement are correct, no Party is aware of any obligation under Canadian or U.S. Law to deduct or withhold on any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement. In the event a Party becomes aware of any such obligation, such Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the other Party and reasonably cooperate with such other Party to reduce or eliminate any such withholding, to the extent feasible under applicable Law. To the extent that

73

amounts are withheld and remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority in accordance with Section 6.3(a), such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to Purchaser, Sellers or any such other recipient of payments in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent, if any, that the representation and warranty made by Sellers under Section 4.21 (Taxable Canadian Property) is not true and correct in all material respects at Closing as indicated in the certificate referred to in Section 8.3(d), Purchaser shall have the right to withhold the amount Purchaser is entitled to withhold under the Tax Act (and the Taxation Act, if applicable) by reason of its acquisition of TCP or TQP from a non-resident of Canada, and any amount so withheld shall be remitted forthwith to the applicable Tax Authority, and a receipt evidencing such remittance shall be delivered forthwith by Purchaser to Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Purchaser agrees to delay remitting any such amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing sentence to a Tax Authority until one (1) Business Day prior to the day it is required to do so by applicable Law, and agrees to reasonably comply with any certificate or letter obtained from the relevant Tax Authority which expressly permits Purchaser to further delay remitting any withheld amounts or which eliminates or reduces the amount that must be remitted.

(b)           Any Seller transferring a “United States real property interest” as defined by Section 897(c) of the Code (and any other Seller that is not a “foreign person” for purposes of Section 1445 of the Code) shall deliver to Purchaser a duly executed certification of non-foreign status, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b), certifying such facts as to establish that the sale of the United States real property interest is exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of the Code; provided, that Purchaser’s sole recourse in the event of any failure to deliver any such certification shall be to withhold from amounts payable under this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.3(a). Each Seller that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Purchaser a duly executed IRS Form W-9.

Section 6.4            Records.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5.4, (i) after the Closing Date, Purchaser and the Designated Purchasers on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, will make available to the other, as reasonably requested, and to any Tax Authority, all information, records or documents relating to liability for Taxes with respect to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Business for all periods prior to or including the Closing Date, and will preserve such information, records or documents until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof, and (ii) in the event that one Party needs access to records in the possession of a second Party relating to any of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business for purposes of preparing Tax Returns or complying with any Tax audit request, subpoena or other investigative demand by any Tax Authority, or for any other legitimate Tax-related purpose not injurious to the second Party, the second Party will allow representatives of the other Party access to such records during regular business hours at the second Party’s place of business for the sole purpose of obtaining information for use as aforesaid and will permit such other Party to make extracts and copies thereof as may be necessary or convenient. The obligation to cooperate pursuant to this paragraph shall terminate at the time the relevant applicable statute of limitations expires (giving effect to any extension thereof).

74

Section 6.5            Property Tax Allocation.  For purposes of Section 2.3(a)(iv), (a) all Taxes of the Acquired Entities based on income, receipts or similar measures shall be apportioned between the Sellers, on the one hand and the applicable Designated Purchaser, on the other hand based on a closing of the books as of the Closing Date, and (b) all real and personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Acquired Assets, whether imposed or assessed before or after the Closing Date (“Periodic Taxes”) for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), shall be apportioned between Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser or the applicable Designated Purchaser, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the period ending with and including the Closing Date (together with periods ending on or before the Closing Date, the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), and the number of days of such taxable period beginning after the Closing Date (together with any periods beginning after the Closing Date, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). At the Closing, Periodic Taxes with respect to each Acquired Asset for the applicable Tax period shall be prorated in accordance with the foregoing provisions based on the Tax assessment for such Acquired Asset for the applicable Tax period, if available, or otherwise, based on the last available Tax assessment with respect to such Acquired Asset. Sellers shall be responsible for such Periodic Taxes attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods and the applicable Purchaser shall be responsible for such Periodic Taxes attributable to Post-Closing Tax Periods. At the Closing, the Closing Purchase Price shall be (x) decreased by an amount equal to excess, if any, of the (i) unpaid Periodic Taxes with respect to Acquired Assets purchased by such Purchaser attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods over (ii) such Periodic Taxes paid by Sellers but apportioned hereunder to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser for Straddle Periods, or (y) increased by an amount equal to the Periodic Taxes apportioned to Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser with respect to Straddle Periods but previously paid by Sellers (each determined in accordance with the foregoing principles) (such increase(s) or decrease(s) in the Closing Purchase Price, the “Property Tax Adjustment”).

Section 6.6            Cooperation. Subject to Section 5.18, Sellers and Purchaser shall work together and cooperate reasonably to minimize any Taxes that may be imposed on any Seller, Acquired Entity, Purchaser or Designated Purchaser as a result of the transactions contemplated herein, including by cooperating with respect to the implementation of the Pre-Closing Reorganization.

Section 6.7            Tax Returns. Designated Purchasers shall file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns of the Acquired Entities that include any Pre-Closing Tax Periods in a manner consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.  At least ten (10) Business Days prior to filing any such Tax Returns Designated Purchasers shall provide draft Tax Returns to Sellers for their review and approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 6.8            Release of PCR AE Holdback Amount. The PCR AE Holdback Amount shall be applied to pay the Tax shown due on the Tax Returns required to be filed pursuant to Section 6.7.  If the PCR AE Holdback Amount exceeds the Taxes shown as due on the Tax Returns described in Section 6.7, then within ten (10) Business Days of filing such Tax Returns the Designated Purchasers shall pay such excess in cash to Sellers.

75

(a)           Employment Terms.

(i)            Prior to, but contingent on the occurrence of the Closing, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the relevant Designated Purchaser to extend an offer of employment to those Non-Union Employees of Sellers, other than those working in the Province of Quebec, to whom Purchaser or Designated Purchaser has determined to offer employment, and to continue the employment of Non-Union Employees working in the Province of Quebec with such employment to take effect under the terms stated herein as of the Effective Hire Date, as defined below. Such offers shall be for employment initially on terms and conditions substantially similar in the aggregate with respect to their annual compensation and benefits as was in effect immediately prior to the Closing (it being however agreed that Purchaser shall not be required to offer any equity or equity-based Seller Employee Plan or other equity or equity-based benefit or compensation plan, program or arrangement). Purchaser or the relevant Designated Purchaser shall provide Sellers with information that Sellers reasonably request to verify that such offers of employment are in compliance with this Section 7.1(a).

(ii)           The Effective Hire Date for any Non-Union Employee shall be the date corresponding to the Employee Transfer Time for all Non-Union Employees, except as otherwise provided under applicable Law.

(b)           Employee Benefits.

(i)            After the date hereof, Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate promptly and in good faith in preparing the transition of the Transferred Employee Plans and/or the Transferred Employees, as applicable, from coverage under the Seller Employee Plans to coverage under any plans established or maintained in their sole discretion by Purchaser or a Designated Purchaser as of the Transferred Employee’s Effective Hire Date.

(ii)           Purchaser shall assume and honor the amount of compensation with respect to the accrued and unused vacation days that is due and owing to the Transferred Employees up to their Effective Hire Date under applicable Law. Purchaser will, and will cause the relevant Designated Purchasers to, honor such accrued and unused vacation days in the ordinary course.

(iii)          Neither Section 7.1(a) nor this Section 7.1(b) restricts the right of Purchaser to terminate the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing at any time for any or for no reason, in accordance with applicable Law.

(iv)          Purchaser and each applicable Seller hereby agree to follow the standard procedure for employment tax withholding as provided under applicable Law.

(b)           Purchaser shall become the successor employer (as such term is defined in the relevant legislation) and shall assume all Liabilities and obligations associated with the Blainville Collective Labor Agreement and the Mississauga Collective Labor Agreement (including any accrued vacation pay or banked overtime) whether such Liabilities arise prior to, on or after the Closing.

Section 7.3            Excluded Employee Liabilities. For purposes of clarity, and notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Sellers shall retain, and with respect to any Affiliate of any Seller shall assume and retain, and neither Purchaser nor any of the Designated Purchasers shall assume at or following the Closing, any of the following Liabilities of Sellers or any Affiliate of any Seller (the “Excluded Employee Liabilities”):

(a)           (i) other than the Transferred Employee Plans, the Seller Employee Plans or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement or any Liabilities thereunder, and (ii) any severance-related Liabilities owed to any employees who are terminated at or prior to the Closing;

(b)           except as provided in Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.3(a), Sellers’ or any of their Affiliates’ obligations to make payments or provide benefits under any Seller Employee Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement or any Liabilities under or with respect to any Seller Employee Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, Contract, agreement or arrangement;

(c)           any Liabilities relating to or at any time arising in connection with the employment or service with or termination of employment or service from any Seller (or any of its Affiliates) of any employee, agent, or contractor of such Seller or such Affiliate (or any applicant for employment employee, agent, or contractor or former employee, agent, or contractor of such Seller or such Affiliate), including with respect to wages, salary or other compensation and withholding and payment of any Taxes; provided, that Excluded Employee Liabilities pursuant to this clause (c) shall not include any Liabilities that arise after the Closing in connection with employment or service with, or termination of employment or service from, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any of Sellers’ Affiliates that are Acquired Entities; and

(d)           except as provided for in Section 7.2(b), Liabilities resulting from any Action, or with respect to any potential or threatened Action which Sellers have received a demand letter or notice of an intent to file, on or prior to the Closing Date (i) by any Employee or (ii) by any applicant with respect to potential employment with any Seller and related to the Business.

(a)           Except as necessary to make offers of employment to Employees or to continue the employment of Employees pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 of this Agreement, after the date hereof, and subject to each Party’s disclosure obligations imposed by

77

Law or by Government Entities and each Party’s obligations hereunder, Purchaser shall not, and shall procure that the Designated Purchasers and any of Purchaser’s Affiliates shall not, issue any announcement or communication to their respective employees or the Employees, prior to consultation with, and the approval of, Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. If requested, Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in respect of the development and distribution of any announcement and communication to the employees of Sellers, including Employees, with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)           Purchaser undertakes, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to undertake, to keep the Employee Information in confidence and that, until the relevant Employee Transfer Time:

(i)            Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to, restrict the disclosure of the Employee Information only to such of its employees, agents and advisors as is permitted by applicable Law and is necessary for the purposes of effectuating this Agreement prior to the Employee Transfer Time;

(ii)           Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers not to, use the Employee Information except for effectuating this Agreement and shall be returned to Sellers or destroyed, at Sellers’ election, if this Agreement is terminated; and

(iii)          Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Designated Purchasers to, comply with such additional obligations as may be reasonably required in any particular jurisdiction to comply with any applicable data privacy Laws.

(c)           Sellers and Purchaser intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement should not constitute a separation, termination or severance of employment of any Transferred Employee prior to or upon the occurrence of the Employee Transfer Time, including for purposes of any Seller Employee Plan in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or under applicable Law or any other legally mandated obligations, and Seller and Purchaser intend that the Transferred Employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date.

(d)           Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate with each other to provide for an orderly transition of the Transferred Employees from Sellers to Purchaser or the Designated Purchasers, as applicable, and to minimize the disruption to the respective businesses of the Parties resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e)           Section 280G Matters.  As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement but in any case prior to the Closing:

(i)            Sellers will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain, prior to the initiation of the 280G Approval, a waiver (a “Parachute Payment Waiver”), in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, from each Transferred Employee who, with respect to Sellers, reasonably could be a “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) and who, with respect to Sellers, reasonably might otherwise receive, have received, or have the right or entitlement to receive any

78

parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, pursuant to which Parachute Payment Waiver each such Transferred Employee will agree, unless the 280G Approval has been obtained in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and Internal Revenue Bulletin 2004-32, to waive any and all right or entitlement to the payments, acceleration of vesting and/or other benefits referred to in this Section 7.4(e) to the extent the value thereof exceeds 2.99 times such Transferred Employee’s base amount determined in accordance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(ii)           Sellers will use reasonable commercial efforts to submit to the Bankruptcy Courts for approval all such waived payments in a manner such that, if such approval is obtained by the Bankruptcy Courts in a manner which satisfies Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and Internal Revenue Bulletin 2004-32, no payment or benefit received by such “disqualified individual” would be a “parachute payment” for purposes of Section 280G of the Code (the “280G Approval”). Prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser evidence that the 280G Approval was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 7.4(e) (to the extent such 280G Approval was required to be solicited in connection with payments with respect to which Sellers were required to use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain a Parachute Payment Waiver in accordance with the foregoing provisions of Section 7.4(e)) and that either (i) 280G Approval was obtained or (ii) 280G Approval was not obtained, and as a consequence, the parachute payments subject to the Parachute Payment Waivers shall not be made or provided.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein (including Section 9.2(a)), except Section 10.2, the Deposit is the sole and exclusive remedy and liquidated damages of the Company Related Parties, whether at Law or in equity, for any breach by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Sponsors and their respective Affiliates) of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, and no Purchaser Related Party shall have any further Liability of any kind to any Company Related Parties on account of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Parties each acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall be deemed to have been jointly and equally drafted by them, and that the provisions of this Agreement therefore should not be construed against a Party on the grounds that such Party drafted or was more responsible for drafting the provisions.

Section 10.11       Severability. If any provision, clause, or part of this Agreement, or the application thereof under certain circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any jurisdiction, (a) as to such jurisdiction, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision, clause or part under other circumstances, and (b) as for any other jurisdiction, any provision of this Agreement, shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect, unless, in each case, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in such jurisdiction materially impairs the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon such determination that any clause or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in such jurisdiction, 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible even in such jurisdiction.

Section 10.12       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents set forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter thereof, and all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, whether written or oral (including the Confidentiality Agreement), are superseded by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and all such prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties (including the Confidentiality Agreement) are hereby terminated. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail, regardless of the fact that certain other Transaction Documents, such as the Local Sale Agreement, may be subject to different governing Laws (unless the other Transaction Document expressly provides otherwise).

Section 10.13       Damages. Under no circumstances shall any Party be liable for punitive damages or indirect or incidental damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any breach or alleged breach of any of the terms hereof, including damages alleged as a result of tortious conduct.

Section 10.14       Bulk Sales Laws. Subject to Section 6.1(c) (Clearance Certificates), each Party waives compliance by the other Party with any applicable U.S. bulk sales Law.

Section 10.15       Non-Recourse.

(a)           No past, present or future director, officer, manager, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Company or any other Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, in each case, other than any Seller who is a party hereto, shall have any liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company and the other Sellers agree on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates that none of the Purchaser Related Parties (other than Purchaser) shall have any liability or obligation to the Company, the other Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein (including the Debt Financing), in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Laws or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a party hereto or another Person (including a claim to enforce the Debt Commitment Letter) or otherwise.  This Section 10.15(b) is intended to benefit and may be enforced by Purchaser and the Purchaser Related Parties (including the Debt Financing Sources, and each such Person shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 10.15(b)) and shall be binding on all the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Company and each Seller.
