29

any other event, condition or circumstance), (E) that has as its subject matter a Company Affiliate Transaction, (F) that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (G) that is an options, futures, forwards, swaps, hedging contracts or similar derivative contracts relating to interest rates, foreign exchange, commodity prices or otherwise, or (H) that is a material contract that is not cancellable (at no additional cost, expense or fee) on 90 days or less notice that grants “most favored nation” status that, following the Effective Time, would impose obligations upon Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including AcquisitionCo and its Subsidiaries.  All contracts, arrangements, commitments or understandings of the type described in Section 3.1(i)(i)  (collectively referred to herein as the “Company Contracts”) are valid and in full force and effect, except to the extent they have previously expired in accordance with their terms or if the failure to be in full force and effect, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.  The Company has provided or made available to Parent correct and complete copies of each Company Contract.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and to the knowledge of the Company, none of the other parties thereto have, violated any provision of, or committed or failed to perform any act, and no event or condition exists, which with or without notice, lapse of time or both would constitute a default under the provisions of, any Company Contract, except in each case for those violations and defaults that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(ii)          Except as set forth in Section 3.1(i)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any contract, arrangement, commitment or understanding that, after the Effective Time, would purport to limit the ability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to compete in any line of business, in any geographic area or with any person, or that requires referrals of business.

(i)             Section 3.1(j)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a list of all material Company Employee Benefit Plans.

(ii)          With respect to each material Company Employee Benefit Plan, the Company has made available to Parent a true and correct copy of such Plan, including any and all amendments thereto.

(iii)       Section 3.1(j)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Letter identifies each Company Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be a “qualified plan” pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code (“Company Qualified Plans”).  The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each Company Qualified Plan and the related trust (or a favorable opinion letter upon which the Company or its applicable Subsidiary is entitled to rely, in the case of a prototype or volume submitter document for which a separate determination letter is not required) that has not been revoked, and there are no circumstances, and no events have occurred, that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any Company Qualified Plan or the related trust.  No Company Employee Benefit Plan is or is required to be funded

30

through a trust that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

(iv)      With respect to each Company Employee Benefit Plan that is not a Non-US Company Plan, all contributions, premium payments, and other payments, expenses and reimbursements required to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by applicable Law or regulation or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, have been timely made (except where the Company’s failure to timely make such contributions or pay such premiums would not result in any material liability, penalty or tax), or have been properly accrued and accurately reflected on the Company’s financial statements.

(v)         With respect to each employee benefit plan, program, policy, practice, agreement, or other arrangement maintained and/or operated by a Governmental Entity and subject to the applicable Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States and Canada, all contributions, premium payments, and other payments, expenses and reimbursements required to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by applicable Law or regulation or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, have been timely made (except where the Company’s failure to timely make such contributions or pay such premiums would not result in any material liability, penalty or tax), or have been properly accrued and accurately reflected on the Company’s financial statements.

(vi)      Each Company Employee Benefit Plan has been established, maintained and administered in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, all other Laws and regulations applicable to such Company Employee Benefit Plan, and the terms applicable to such Company Employee Benefit Plan.  There is not now, nor do any circumstances exist that could give rise to, any requirement for the posting of security by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to a Company Employee Benefit Plan or the imposition of any lien on the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under ERISA, the Code or other applicable Law.

(vii)   Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has ever maintained, sponsored or contributed to, or had an obligation to maintain, sponsor or contribute to, or had any actual or contingent liability or obligation with respect to, and no Company Employee Benefit Plan currently is, (i) a “defined benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA, (ii) a pension plan subject to the funding standards of Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, (iii) a “multiemployer plan” as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA or Section 414(f) of the Code or (iv) a “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of Section 210(a) of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code.  Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has any actual or contingent liability under Title IV of ERISA, and no condition exists, other than as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that presents a risk to the Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates of incurring any such liability.

31

(viii)  With respect to any Company Employee Benefit Plan that is maintained for the benefit of employees, consultants or directors outside of the United States (each such Company Employee Benefit Plan, a “Non-US Company Plan”), (A) if intended to qualify for special tax treatment, the Non-US Company Plan meets the requirements for such treatment in all material respects, (B) the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material respects the Non-US Company Plan liabilities and accruals for contributions required to be paid to the Non-US Company Plans, in accordance with GAAP, and (C) there have not occurred, nor are there continuing, any transactions or breaches of fiduciary duty under any Law or regulation in connection with a Non-US Company Plan which could have a Material Adverse Effect on (1) any Non-US Company Plan or (2) the condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(ix)      Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, has engaged in any transaction described in Section 4069 or Section 4204 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

(x)         Section 3.1(j)(x) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth each Company Employee Benefit Plan (or other arrangement) under which the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby could (either alone or in connection with any other event, condition or circumstance): (i) result in, cause the accelerated vesting, funding or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment or benefit to any current or former employee, officer, consultant or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) result in the payment or provision (whether in connection with any termination of employment or otherwise) of any “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code with respect to any current or former employee, consultant or contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) limit the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, merge or terminate any Company Employee Benefit Plan or trust; or (iv) give rise to the payment of any amount that would not be deductible by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(xi)      No Company Employee Benefit Plan provides for a tax gross-up or any similar payments or benefits with respect to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code or the tax or penalties imposed under Section 409A of the Code.

(xii)  To the Company’s knowledge, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any other Person, including any fiduciary, has engaged in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA), which would reasonably be expected to subject any of the Company Employee Benefit Plans or their related trusts, the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Person that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify, to any material tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

32

(xiii)  There are no pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened, claims (other than routine claims for benefits in the ordinary course), lawsuits or arbitrations which have been asserted or instituted by any current or former employee or consultant of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and to the Company’s knowledge, no set of circumstances exists which may reasonably give rise to a claim or lawsuit against the Company Employee Benefit Plans, any fiduciaries thereof with respect to their duties to the Company Employee Benefit Plans or the assets of any of the trusts under any of the Company Employee Benefit Plans which could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  There are no outstanding assessments, penalties, fines, liens, charges, surcharges, or other amounts due or owing pursuant to any workplace safety and insurance legislation, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have been reassessed in any material respect under such legislation during the past three (3) years and no audit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is currently being performed pursuant to any applicable workplace safety and insurance legislation. There are no pending claims or, to the knowledge of the Company, potential claims which may materially adversely affect the Company’s accident cost experience in respect of the business of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

(xiv)  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liability for life insurance, death or medical benefits to current or former employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except for health continuation coverage as required by Section 4980B of the Code or Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or other applicable Law.

(xv)  Each Company Employee Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) subject to Section 409A of the Code has been operated and administered, in all material respects, in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and any guidance issued by the Department of Treasury or the IRS thereunder, to the extent applicable to such plan.

(xvi)  All Company Options were granted at an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of a Company Share on the date of grant and no Company Option has been extended or amended, and no Company Option has been repriced, in each case since its original date of grant.

(k)                                 Subsidiaries.  Exhibit 21 to the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K sets forth a complete and accurate list of each Subsidiary of the Company.  All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each Subsidiary of the Company that is a corporation are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. All equity interests in each Subsidiary of the Company that is a partnership or limited liability company are duly authorized and validly issued.

(c)                                  The Company shall notify Parent as promptly as practicable of any request for information related to a potential Acquisition Proposal or any Acquisition Proposal received by the Company or any of its Representatives, orally and in writing, indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal (including a copy thereof if in writing and any related available material documentation or correspondence), and in any event the Company shall provide written notice to Parent of such Acquisition Proposal or requests for information and initiation of such discussions or negotiations by the end of the Business Day (New York time) following the day on which such event occurs.  The Company agrees that it will keep Parent promptly and reasonably apprised of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal (including whether withdrawn or rejected) and the status and nature of all information requested, and in any event the Company shall provide Parent with written notice of any material development with respect to any of the foregoing by the end of the day (New York time) following the day on which such development occurs.  The Company also agrees to provide Parent with any information that it provides to the third party making the request therefor substantially contemporaneously with providing such information to such third party, unless Parent has already been provided with such information.

(d)                                 The Company (i) will and will cause its Subsidiaries, and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and terminate any and all existing solicitation, knowing encouragement, knowing facilitation, discussions or negotiations with any third parties (other than Parent and its affiliates and its and their Representatives) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, release any third party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or

(a)                                 For the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, provide each employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Date who continues his or her employment with Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (including the Company) following the Effective Date (each, a “Continuing Employee”) compensation and benefit opportunities that are comparable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee under the Company Employee Benefit Plans in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date (excluding (i) any equity-based compensation or (ii) retention, stay, change-in-control or similar payments or benefits).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, honor any terms and conditions of employment of Continuing Employees to the extent required by applicable Law or the terms and conditions of any collective bargaining agreement, works council, or other similar agreement listed on Section 3.1(r) of the Company Disclosure Letter, as such agreement may be in effect from time to time.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing herein shall preclude or limit the right of Parent or its applicable affiliate(s) from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee after the Effective Date for any lawful reason.

(b)                                 For purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) under the Company Employee Benefit Plans and the Parent Employee Benefit Plans providing benefits to any Continuing Employee after the Effective Date (the “New Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, before the Effective Date, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Employee Benefit Plan; provided that the foregoing service credit shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits.  In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to

61

participate, without any waiting time, in any New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Employee Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the replacement; and (ii) for purposes of each such New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under the applicable Company Employee Benefit Plan during the portion of the plan year of such New Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in such New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c)                                  After the date hereof, the Company, in consultation with Parent, shall satisfy any required notifications and/or consent requirements of any works councils or other similar labor or employee organizations, or as required under any applicable labor relations legislation, any collective bargaining agreement or similar labor agreement.

(d)                                 Following the date of this Agreement, no new election period shall be commenced for purposes of the Company’s Employee Stock Savings Plan.

(e)                                  Following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall continue to operate its 2017 Short Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 STIP”) in accordance with past practices and in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the existing terms of the 2017 STIP except as otherwise modified by this provision.  Amounts payable by the Company (if any) under the 2017 STIP shall be paid on or before March 15, 2018 as determined by Parent, with any such amounts to be calculated based upon applicable performance achievement; provided, that, in the event that the Effective Date occurs on or before December 31, 2017, then, in calculating the amounts to be paid under the 2017 STIP, with respect to the stub period for the remainder of 2017, the Company shall calculate the financial objectives component of the 2017 STIP by annualizing January 1, 2017 through the last day of the month preceding the Effective Date subject to adjustment to add back transaction costs, restructuring costs, impairments, and any business disruption directly caused by action required to be taken by the terms of this Agreement.  Such calculation and support shall be prepared by the Company and delivered, as soon as reasonably practicable once the anticipated Effective Date is known, to the Chief Executive Officer of Parent who shall review and approve using good faith as soon as practicable, but in any event within three Business days prior to the Effective Date.  Participants will earn and be owed the bonus if they are still employees of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries on the earlier of the Effective Date or December 31, 2017.

(f)                                   The Company shall deliver, within 10 Business Days following the date hereof, the following documentation relating to each Company Employee Benefit Plan, it being understood that any such additional documentation shall not be deemed to act as an exception to any of the representations set forth in Section 3.1(j):  (A) the most recent annual report (Form 5500) filed with the IRS, if any, (B) the current plan documents comprising such Company

62

Employee Benefit Plan, including any and all amendments thereto, (C) each trust agreement, insurance contract or other funding agreement relating to such Company Employee Benefit Plan, if any, (D) the most recent summary plan description for each Company Employee Benefit Plan, if any, (E) the most recent actuarial report or valuation relating to a Company Employee Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, if any, and (F) the most recent determination letter, opinion letter or advisory letter issued by the IRS with respect to any Company Qualified Plan, if any.

This Section 5.5 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 5.5, whether express or implied, shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or any other current or former employee, director, consultant or other service provider of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any other Person, any rights or remedies including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever, and no such Person shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (a) constitute or be deemed to be an amendment to any Company Employee Benefit Plan, Parent Employee Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program, practice, policy, agreement or arrangement of the Company, Parent, AcquisitionCo or any of their respective Subsidiaries; or (b) prevent the amendment or termination of any Company Employee Benefit Plan or Parent Employee Benefit Plan or interfere with the right or obligation of the Company, Parent or AcquisitionCo to make such changes as are deemed necessary to conform with applicable Law or regulation (including Section 409A of the Code).

Section 5.6                                    Section 16 Matters.  Assuming that the Company delivers to Parent the Section 16 Information reasonably (and in any event no less than 10 Business Days) in advance of the Effective Time, the Parent Board, or a committee of Non-Employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the U.S. Exchange Act), shall reasonably promptly thereafter and in any event prior to the Effective Time adopt a resolution providing that the receipt by the Insiders of the Company of Parent Shares in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16 Information provided by the Company to Parent prior to the Effective Time, is intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) under the U.S. Exchange Act.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the disposition of Company Shares and equity-based securities of the Company (including Company Restricted Stock Units and Company Options) pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby that are held by Insiders of the Company are exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) under the U.S. Exchange Act.

Section 5.7                                    Fees and Expenses.  Whether or not the Arrangement is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3 and except that filing fees paid to any Governmental Entities with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the HSR Act, the CCA or any Merger Control Law shall be paid by Parent.

63

Section 5.8                                    Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a)                                 Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Party may have pursuant to any employment agreement, indemnification agreement or otherwise, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause AcquisitionCo to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement of or in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise or by reason of anything done or not done by such person in any such capacity and pertaining to any matter existing or occurring, or any acts or omissions occurring, at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Effective Time, in each case to the fullest extent such persons are permitted by applicable law to be indemnified by, or have the right to advancement of expenses from, the Company as of the date hereof.

(b)                                 For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause AcquisitionCo to, maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties with respect to their acts or omissions as directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, occurring prior to Effective Time (including with respect to acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (the “Existing D&O Policy”); provided that, (i) Parent may, or may cause AcquisitionCo to, substitute therefor a policy or policies with limits, terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured; (ii) neither Parent nor AcquisitionCo shall be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute policy or policies) in excess of 250% of the annual premium paid by the Company with respect to the Existing D&O Policy as of the date hereof, which is set forth in Section 5.8 of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Insurance Amount”); and (iii) if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Insurance Amount, then Parent shall maintain, or cause AcquisitionCo to maintain, policies of insurance that, in Parent’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Insurance Amount.  In lieu of the foregoing, Parent may, or may cause AcquisitionCo to, at its option, purchase, from one or more insurers reasonably acceptable to the Company, a single payment, run-off policy or policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering each Indemnified Party with respect to their acts or omissions as directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, occurring prior to Effective Time (including with respect to acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) on terms and conditions, including limits, not less favorable in the aggregate than the terms and conditions contained in the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Parent, such policy or policies to become effective at the Effective Time and remain in effect for a period of six years after the Effective Time.

64

(d)                                 The provisions of this Section 5.8 (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and their respective heirs and representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise.

Section 5.9                                    Stockholder Litigation.  Subject to applicable law, the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors or executive officers relating to the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Company agrees that it shall not settle or offer to settle any litigation commenced prior to or after the date of this Agreement against it or its directors, executive officers or similar persons by any stockholder of such party relating to the Arrangement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Section 5.10                             Additional Agreements.  In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest Parent or AcquisitionCo with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either of the constituent corporations of the Arrangement, the proper officers and directors of each Party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary action.

(a)                                 In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.2, this Agreement will forthwith become void and have no further force or effect, without any liability of the part of Parent, AcquisitionCo, the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries (or any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or representatives), except as provided in this Section 7.3, Section 5.1, Section 5.7, Section 5.12 and Article 8, which shall survive any termination thereof, and provided further that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary none of Parent, AcquisitionCo or the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities arising out its fraud or willful and intentional breach of this Agreement.

(b)                                 The Company shall make payments to Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as Parent may designate, if this Agreement is terminated as follows:

72

(i)             if Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(d), then the Company shall pay the sum of $8 million (the “Company Termination Fee”) on the second Business Day following such termination;

(ii)          if the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(h), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with such termination;

(iii)       if (A) either party shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(g) and (B) at any time after the date hereof and at or before the date of the Company Meeting, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made or publicly announced or communicated to the Company Board by any Person other than Parent and be still pending at the time of such termination or have been withdrawn less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such termination, and (C) within 12 months of the date of such termination of this Agreement, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal (provided that, for purposes of this subsection (iv), any reference to “15% or more” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “50% or more”), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee, less any amount previously paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), on the second Business Day following the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal; and

(iv)      if (A) either party shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(c) or Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(e) and (B) at any time after the date hereof and before such termination an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced by any Person other than Parent and be still pending at the time of such termination or have been withdrawn less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such termination and (C) within 12 months of the date of such termination of this Agreement, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into any definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal (provided that, for purposes of this subsection (v), any reference to “15% or more” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “50% or more”), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee, less any amount previously paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), on the second Business Day following the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal.

(c)                                  Each of the Parties acknowledges that any amount payable pursuant to Section 7.3(b) is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or Company in the circumstances in which such payments are due and payable and which do not involve fraud or willful and intentional breach of this Agreement, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Arrangement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.  In no event shall Parent be entitled to payment of the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion and in no event shall Parent, Company any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person have any right to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against

73

Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates arising out of this Agreement and of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination, in each case other than arising out of fraud or willful and intentional breach of this Agreement.

(a)                                 This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Arrangement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the Province of Alberta, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of law principles of the Province of Alberta.

(b)                                 Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 8.3, and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or an improper venue to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding; provided that, with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the approval and effects of the Arrangement, the legal duties of the Company Board and any other matters relating to the internal corporate governance of the Company or AcquisitionCo, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court.  Any service of process to be made in such action or proceeding may be made by delivery of process in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 8.2.  The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this Section 8.3 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the Province of Alberta and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 8.3 and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any person other than the parties.  The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law.  In addition, each of the Parties agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Arrangement.

76

Section 8.4                                    Injunctive Relief.  The Parties agree that irreparable harm may occur for which money damages might not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by a Party, the non-breaching Party will be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and the Parties shall not object to the granting of injunctive or other equitable relief on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at law.  Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at Law or equity to each of the Parties.

ARRANGEMENT

3.1                               Arrangement.  Commencing at the Effective Time, the following shall occur and shall be deemed to occur consecutively in the following order, each occurring five minutes following completion of the previous event without any further authorization, act or formality:

(a)                                 Each Dissent Share shall be transferred by such Dissenting Shareholder to AcquisitionCo (free and clear of any Liens) in accordance with, and for the consideration contemplated in, Article 4;

(b)                                 Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be fully vested and exercisable pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Company Stock Incentive Plan and award agreements, by virtue of the Acquisition and without any further action by Parent, AcquisitionCo, the Company or the holder of that Company Option, and shall be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive an amount in cash (less any required

withholding Taxes) payable by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Market Value per Company Share over (B) the exercise price per share of each Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of Company Shares that may be acquired upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, each Company Option with an exercise price per share that is equal to or more than the Market Value shall be cancelled for no consideration.

(c)                                  Each Company Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be fully vested pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Company Stock Incentive Plan and award agreements, by virtue of the Acquisition and without any further action by Parent, AcquisitionCo, the Company or the holder of that Company Restricted Stock Unit, and shall be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive an amount in cash (less any required withholding Taxes) payable by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, without interest, equal to the Market Value per Company Share multiplied by the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such Company Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all amounts payable in respect of a Company Restricted Stock Unit shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Stock Incentive Plan, award agreement and Board approval, as applicable.  For purposes of the foregoing, each outstanding Company Restricted Stock Unit that is subject to a performance-based vesting requirement shall become fully vested and converted as provided above based upon the number of units at the “target” level of performance applicable to such award.

(d)                                 The following shall occur:

(i)                                     each Company Share (other than any Dissent Share) shall be transferred to AcquisitionCo (free and clear of any Liens);

(ii)                                in respect of each Company Share transferred in Section 3.1(d)(i), Parent shall issue the Share Consideration to each Company Shareholder;

(iii)                             AcquisitionCo shall issue to Parent that number of common shares of AcquisitionCo equal in value to the aggregate Share Consideration (based on a value of $1.00 per share) as consideration for Parent having issued the Share Consideration in Section 3.1(d)(i); and

(iv)                              there shall be added to the stated capital account maintained by AcquisitionCo for its common shares an amount equal to the fair market value of the Share Consideration issued by Parent in Section 3.1(d)(ii);

(e)                                  with respect to each Company Share transferred in accordance with Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(d):

(i)                                     the registered holder thereof shall cease to be the registered holder of such Company Share and shall cease to have any rights in respect of such Company Share and the name of such registered holder shall be removed from the register of Company

Shareholders as of the time of transfer prescribed in Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(d), as applicable;

(ii)                                  the registered holder thereof shall be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, releases, assignments and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to transfer such Company Share; and

3.2                               No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Parent Shares shall be issued upon the surrender of Company Share certificates for exchange, and any such fractional share interests to which a former Company Shareholder would otherwise have been entitled will not entitle such former Company Shareholder to vote or to any other rights of a holder Parent Shares.  In lieu of any such fractional Parent Shares, each former Company Shareholder otherwise entitled to fractional Parent Shares shall receive the nearest whole number of Parent Shares. For greater certainty, where such fractional interest is greater than or equal to 0.5, the number of Parent Shares to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Parent Shares and where such fractional interest is less than 0.5, the number of Parent Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Shares.

ARTICLE 4
DISSENT RIGHTS

4.1                               Dissent Rights

(a)                                 Each registered Company Shareholder may exercise rights of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) with respect to Company Shares held by such Company Shareholder pursuant to Section 191 of the ABCA, as modified by the Interim Order and this Section 4.1(a); provided that, notwithstanding subsection 191(5) of the ABCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in subsection 191(5) of the ABCA must be received by the registered Company Shareholder to the Company by not later than 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) two Business Days immediately preceding the date of the Company Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time).  Dissenting Shareholders who:

(i)                                     are ultimately entitled to be paid by AcquisitionCo fair value for their Dissent Shares, shall be deemed to have transferred such Dissent Shares (without any further authorization, act or formality and free and clear of any Liens) to AcquisitionCo in accordance with Section 3.1(a) as of the time prescribed in Section 3.1(a) at the fair value of the Dissent Shares, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the ABCA, shall be determined as of the Effective Time; or

(ii)                                  are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid by AcquisitionCo fair value for their Dissent Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement in respect of those Company Shares on the same basis as a non-dissenting Company Shareholder and shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive, only the consideration set forth in Section 3.1(d).

(b)                                 In no event shall Parent, AcquisitionCo, Purchaser, Company, the Depositary or any other person be required to recognize a Dissenting Shareholder as a registered or beneficial owner of Company Shares or any interest therein (other than the rights set out in this Section 4.1) at or after the Effective Time, and at the Effective Time the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the central securities register of Company as at the Effective Time.

(c)                                  For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in the Interim Order, no person shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to Company Shares in respect of which a person has voted or has instructed a proxy holder to vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution.

ARTICLE 5
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

5.1                               Certificates and Payments

(a)                                 Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver or arrange to be delivered to the Depositary the Consideration, including certificates or Direct Registration System Advices representing the Parent Shares required to be issued to the Company Shareholders in accordance with Section 3.1(d) hereof, which Parent Share evidence shall be held by the Depositary as agent and nominee for such former Company Shareholders for distribution to such former Company Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 hereof.

(b)                                 Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(d), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Company Shareholder represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Consideration to which the holder is entitled to receive in respect of the Company Shares represented by such certificate, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Company Shareholder the Consideration, which such Company Shareholder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Company Shares and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c)                                  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 5.1, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Company Shares shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Consideration to which the holder is entitled to receive in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in this Section 5.1. Any such certificate formerly representing Company Shares not duly surrendered on

or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder of Company Shares of any kind or nature against or in Parent, AcquisitionCo, Purchaser or Company.  On such date, all Consideration to which such former holder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered and forfeited to Parent.

(d)                                 In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Company Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(d) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal.  When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such Consideration is to be delivered shall as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Consideration, give a bond satisfactory to Parent and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as Parent may direct, or otherwise indemnify Parent and Company in a manner satisfactory to Parent and Company, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against Parent, AcquisitionCo, Purchaser and Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(e)                                  Parent, AcquisitionCo, Purchaser, Company or the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable to any Person under the Plan of Arrangement, such amounts as Parent, AcquisitionCo, Purchaser, Company or the Depositary are required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of any other applicable Law in respect of Taxes (a “Withholding Obligation”).  To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made, provided that such amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.  To the extent that any amount so required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to any Person exceeds the amount of cash otherwise payable to such Person, Parent, AcquisitionCo, Company or the Depositary shall also have the right to withhold such number of Parent Shares otherwise issuable to such Person pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement as would be necessary to produce sale proceeds (after deducting reasonable commissions payable to the broker and other reasonable costs and expenses) sufficient to fund any Withholding Obligation in respect of such Person; provided that Parent, the Company, AcquisitionCo or the Depositary, as applicable, shall notify the holder thereof and remit any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale; and provided, further, that no sales of any such Parent Shares shall occur in any jurisdiction in which such sales are not permitted under applicable Law.

(f)                                   Any exchange or transfer of Company Shares pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind.

(g)                                  No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Company Shares unless and until the holder of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of this Section 5.1. Subject to applicable Law and to this Section 5.1, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of Consideration to which such

holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of the dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Parent Shares.
