Section 2.04. Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) As soon as practicable (and in any event within 60 days following the Closing Date), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a “Closing Statement” consisting of: (i) an unaudited balance sheet of each of the US Company (the “US Closing Balance Sheet”) and the Canadian Company (the “Canadian Closing Balance Sheet”, and together with the US Closing Balance Sheet, the “Closing Balance Sheet”) as of the close of business on the Closing Date; (ii) the US Working Capital based on the US Closing Balance Sheet (the “US Closing Working Capital”); (iii) the Canadian Working Capital based on the Canadian Closing Balance Sheet (the “Canadian Closing Working Capital”); and (iv) the resulting US Working Capital Surplus or US Working Capital Shortfall and Canadian Working Capital Surplus or Canadian Working Capital Shortfall, together with all work papers and all supporting calculations relating thereto.

The objection notice must set forth the amounts in dispute and the basis for such dispute and Seller’s calculation of the disputed portion of the Closing Statement (a “Closing Statement Objection Notice”). If Buyer and Seller reconcile all of the disputes set forth in the Closing Statement Objection Notice, the US Closing Working Capital and/or the Canadian Closing Working Capital shall be adjusted accordingly and shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law.

If the accountants for Buyer and the accountants for Seller are unable to resolve the issues in dispute within a further 30 days following referral of the dispute to them, then Buyer and Seller will have 15 days to engage the Independent Accounting Firm to render a binding opinion resolving the issues in dispute, acting as an arbitrator.

In connection with the resolution of any dispute, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be given access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel of Seller, the US Company, the Canadian Company, and the Buyer as it requests and as is reasonably necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. Absent manifest error, the resolution by the Independent Accounting Firm shall thereupon become binding, final and

conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. Any expense of the accountants for Buyer will be borne exclusively by Buyer and any expense of the accountants for Seller will be borne exclusively by Seller. Any expense of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller so that the amount of fees, costs and expenses paid by Seller (with the remainder of such amount being paid by Buyer) shall be equal to the product of (A) and (B), where (A) is the aggregate amount of such fees, costs and expenses, and where (B) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by Seller (as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) and the denominator of which is the total value in dispute. The Closing Balance Sheet, the US Closing Working Capital and the Canadian Closing Working Capital, as each may be revised to reflect the resolution of any and all disputes by the parties hereto or the determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be deemed the final “Closing Balance Sheet” and the final “US Closing Working Capital” and the final “Canadian Closing Working Capital” respectively.

(ii) (A) the Canadian Preliminary Purchase Price shall be increased, on a dollar for dollar basis, to the extent that the Canadian Closing Working Capital is greater than the Preliminary Canadian Working Capital, and the amount of such increase shall be referred to herein as the “Canadian Working Capital Surplus” or (B) the Canadian Preliminary Purchase Price shall be decreased, on a dollar for dollar basis, to the extent that the Canadian Closing Working Capital is less than the Preliminary Canadian Working Capital, and the amount of such decrease shall be expressed as a positive number and referred to herein as the “Canadian Working Capital Shortfall”;

(d) The US Working Capital Surplus and the Canadian Working Capital Surplus, if any, shall be paid in the aggregate by Buyer to Seller within 5 Business Days after the US Closing Working Capital and Canadian Working Capital becomes final and binding on the parties hereto pursuant to Section 2.04(b), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the banks and accounts designated by Seller.

(e) Neither the US Working Capital Shortfall nor the Canadian Working Capital Shortfall, if any, shall be subject to the Deductible and shall be due and payable by Seller to Buyer on a first dollar basis. Seller shall cause a payment to be made to Buyer by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer, within 5 Business Days after the US Closing Working Capital and Canadian Working Capital becomes final and binding on the parties hereto pursuant to Section 2.04(b). Buyer shall be entitled, at its election, to satisfy

any aggregate deficit of US Working Capital Shortfall and/or Canadian Working Capital Shortfall owed by Seller out of the Escrow Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and upon such election by Buyer, Seller agrees to promptly take any and all actions required by it to cause the disbursement of such amounts from the Escrow Amount, including providing any notice or direction to the Escrow Agent as required under the Escrow Agreement to pay the amount of the aggregate deficit of US Working Capital Shortfall and/or Canadian Working Capital Shortfall.

(b) If the [***] Agreement was in effect at all times during, and is in effect at the end of the Earn-Out Period, on or before the date which is 15 months after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its determination of the [***] Gross Profit and the Companies Total Gross Profit (the “Earn-Out Calculation Statement”).

Prior to the expiration of the Earn-Out Review Period, Seller may object to the Earn-Out Calculation Statement by delivering a written notice of objection (an “Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice”) to Buyer. Any Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement disputed by Seller and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, as well as the amount in dispute. If Buyer and Seller reconcile all of the disputes set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice, the Earn-Out Calculation Statement shall be adjusted accordingly and shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any dispute set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice within 30 days after Buyer’s receipt of such notice of dispute, then Seller and Buyer agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through their respective accountants (which may be the internal auditors and/or employees of Buyer or may be external accountants representing either Seller or Buyer). If the accountants for Buyer and the accountants for Seller are unable to resolve the issues in dispute within a further 30 days following referral of the dispute to them, then Buyer and Seller will have 15 days to engage the Independent Accounting Firm

to render a binding opinion resolving the issues in dispute, acting as an arbitrator. Buyer and Seller will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render and give its opinion no later than 30 days from appointment of the Independent Accounting Firm. In connection with the resolution of any dispute, the Independent Accounting Firm shall be given access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel of Seller, the US Company, the Canadian Company, and Buyer as it requests and as is reasonably necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. Absent manifest error, the resolution by the Independent Accounting Firm shall thereupon become binding, final and conclusive upon all of the parties hereto and enforceable in a court of law. Any expense of the accountants for Buyer will be borne exclusively by Buyer and any expense of the accountants for Seller will be borne exclusively by Seller. Any expense of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller so that the amount of fees, costs and expenses paid by Seller (with the remainder of such amount being paid by Buyer) shall be equal to the product of (A) and (B), where (A) is the aggregate amount of such fees, costs and expenses, and where (B) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by Seller (as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) and the denominator of which is the total value in dispute. The Earn-Out Calculation Statement, as revised to reflect the resolution of any and all disputes by the parties hereto or the determination by the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be deemed the final determination of [***] Gross Profit and Companies Total Gross Profit for purposes of determined whether the Earn-Out Amount is due and owing to Seller.

No “prohibited transaction,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA (other than a transaction exempt under Section 408 of ERISA), has occurred with respect to any US Company Employee Benefit Plan that could result in a Liability to a Company. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.18(c), there are no claims or Proceedings pending, threatened or reasonably anticipated (other than routine claims for benefits), against any US Company Employee Benefit Plan or against the assets or fiduciaries of any US Company Employee Benefit Plan. No breach of fiduciary duty has occurred with respect to any US Company Employee Benefit Plan with respect to which US Company or any of its fiduciaries

could incur a Liability. No US Company Employee Benefit Plan is under audit or investigation, or is subject to any other Proceeding commenced by the Internal Revenue Service, the DOL or any other Governmental Authority, nor is any such audit, investigation or other Proceeding pending or threatened. US Company and the ERISA Affiliates have never incurred any penalty or Tax with respect to any US Company Employee Benefit Plan under Section 502(i) of ERISA or Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code. No mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other Encumbrance of any kind has been imposed under the Code or ERISA with respect to any US Company Employee Benefit Plan or any of the assets of any US Company Employee Benefit Plan other than in connection with participant loans under a 401(k) Plan. All contributions, premiums and expenses to or in respect of each US Company Employee Benefit Plan and each Company Employee Benefit Agreement have been paid in full or, to the extent not yet due, have been adequately accrued on the US Balance Sheet in accordance with Company Accounting Principles.

(d) US Company and the ERISA Affiliates have never maintained, established, sponsored, participated in, contributed to, or otherwise had any obligation with respect to, any: (i) US Company Employee Benefit Plan subject to Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; (ii) “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA; or (iii) “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code).

(e) Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.18(e), no US Company Employee Benefit Plan provides or reflects or represents any Liability of US Company or any ERISA Affiliate to provide, retiree life insurance, retiree health benefits or other retiree employee welfare benefits to any Person for any reason, except as may be required by the continuation coverage provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) or other applicable, analogous Laws. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.18(e), US Company and the ERISA Affiliates have never represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any Company Associate (either individually or as a part of a group of Company Associates) or any other Person that such Company Associate or other person would be provided with retiree life insurance, retiree health benefit or other retiree employee welfare benefits, except to the extent required by COBRA or other applicable, analogous Laws.

(f) Except as explicitly contemplated by this Agreement or set forth in Schedule 5.18(f), neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents (either alone or in combination with another event, whether contingent or otherwise) will: (i) result in any bonus, severance or other payment or obligation to any Company Associate or independent contractor (whether or not under any US Company Employee Benefit Plan); (ii) increase the benefits payable or provided to, or result in a forgiveness of any indebtedness of, any Company Associate or independent contractor; or (iii) accelerate the vesting, funding or time of payment of any compensation, equity award or other similar benefit.

(g) To Seller’s Knowledge, neither any member of US Company nor any Company Associate or independent contractor is obligated under any Contract or subject to any Order of any court or other Governmental Authority that would interfere with such Person’s efforts to promote the interests of US Company or that would interfere with the Company Business or any Company Affiliate. To Seller’s Knowledge, neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company Business or any Company Affiliate as presently conducted nor any activity of such member or Company Associate or independent contractor in connection with the carrying on of the Company Business or any Company Affiliate as presently conducted will

conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any Contract under which any of such members or Company Associates or independent contractors are now bound.

(h) Each US Company Employee Benefit Plan that provides for deferred compensation as defined under Section 409A of the Code has been established and maintained, both in form and operation, with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the applicable guidance promulgated thereunder.

(i) Each US Company Employee Benefit Plan subject to Code Section 4980H has complied therewith and no tax is due thereunder. Neither US Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has received, or reasonably expects to receive, any notice of penalties or Liability with respect to the obligations or requirements established under Code Section 4980H or the Patient and Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, and the applicable guidance promulgated thereunder.

Section 5.19. Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plans

(a) Schedule 5.19(a) contains an accurate and complete list of each Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan. Except as explicitly contemplated by this Agreement, Canadian Company has no plan or commitment to create or enter into any additional Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan, or to modify or change any existing Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan (other than to comply with applicable Law as previously disclosed to Buyer in writing) in a manner that would affect any Company Associate.

(b) With respect to each Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan, Canadian Company has delivered or made available to Buyer: (i) an accurate and complete copy of all documents setting forth the terms of such Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan, including all amendments thereto and all related trust documents, and in the case of an unwritten plan, a written summary thereof; (ii) a complete and accurate copy of the three most recent financial statements and actuarial reports prepared with respect to each Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan and, where applicable, the three most recent actuarial reports in respect of any Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan filed with any Governmental Authority have been delivered to the Buyer.

(d) Each of the Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plans has been established, registered (where desirable or required), administered, communicated, funded and invested in accordance with their terms in compliance with all applicable Laws and regulations. No fact or circumstance exists that could adversely affect the tax exempt, tax preferred or registered status of any Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan. Neither Canadian Company nor any of its respective agents or delegates has breached any fiduciary obligation with respect to the administration or investment of any Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan. Neither Canadian Company, nor any of its respective agents has received, in the last two years, any notice from any

Person questioning or challenging that compliance (other than in respect of any claim for benefit payments in the ordinary course related solely to any Person who is an individual) and to Seller’s Knowledge there has been no notice from any Person questioning or challenging that compliance beyond the last five years.

(e) Canadian Company has made all contributions and paid all premiums in respect of each Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of each Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan and applicable Laws. All contributions, premiums and expenses to or in respect of each Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan and each Company Employee Benefit Agreement have been paid in full even though not otherwise required to be paid until a later date or has made full and adequate disclosure of and provision for those contributions and premiums in the Books and Records. No Taxes, penalties or fees are owing or eligible under or in respect of any Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan.

(f) Other than routine claims for benefits, no Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan is subject to any pending action, investigation, examination, claim (including claims for Taxes) or other proceeding initiated by any Person, and there exists no state of facts that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such action, investigation, examination, claim or other proceeding.

(g) Canadian Company is not bound by or party to any plans that provide pension benefits for Canadian Company Associates. Canadian Company has never (i) sponsored or participated in a defined contribution pension plan or a defined benefit pension plan, or (ii) participated in a multi-employer pension plan as that term is defined under the Pension Benefits Act (Ontario) or the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985 (Canada), or in any similar type of plan for purposes of any other applicable pension benefits standards legislation. No Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan that is a pension plan has undergone a conversion of benefits from defined benefit to defined contribution benefit, or vice versa.

(i) Except as explicitly contemplated by this Agreement or set forth in Schedule 5.19(i), neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under the Transaction Documents (either alone or in combination with another event, whether contingent or otherwise) will: (i) result in any payment (whether of bonus, severance or other payment or obligation to any Company Associate or independent contractor and whether or not under any Canadian Company Employee Benefit Plan); (ii) increase the benefits payable or provided to, obligation to fund benefits or result in a forgiveness of any indebtedness of, with respect to any Company Associate or independent contractor; (iii) accelerate the vesting of benefits, vesting distribution, restriction of funds, funding or time of payment of any compensation, equity award or other similar benefit; or (iv) result in any “parachute payment” (whether or not such payment is considered to be reasonable compensation for services rendered).

(j) To Seller’s Knowledge, neither any member of Canadian Company nor any Company Associate is obligated under any Contract or subject to any Order of any court or other Governmental Authority that would interfere with such Person’s efforts to promote the interests of Canadian Company or that would interfere with the Company Business or any Company Affiliate. To Seller’s Knowledge, neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company Business or any Company Affiliate as presently conducted nor any activity of such member or Company Associate in connection with the carrying on of the Company Business or any Company Affiliate as presently conducted will conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any Contract under which any of such members or Company Associates are now bound.

Section 7.03. Procedure; Payment.

(a) Each Buyer Indemnified Person and Seller Indemnified Person shall be referred to herein as an “Indemnified Person”. Any Indemnified Person seeking indemnification with respect to any actual or alleged Loss shall give written notice to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (each, an “Indemnifying Person”) promptly (and in any event within 30 days) after the Indemnified Person becomes aware of such Loss, specifying in reasonable detail the basis on which indemnification is sought and the amount of the asserted Losses and method of computation thereof, and, in the case of a Third Party Claim, such other relevant information that the Indemnified Person may have in his, her or its possession regarding such claim, including a copy of all papers served on or received by the Indemnified Person with respect to such Third Party Claim, if any. Failure to provide the specified notice within 30 days, however, will not affect the Indemnified Person’s rights to indemnity hereunder from the Indemnifying Person, unless the Indemnifying Person can show material prejudice resulting from such failure and then only to the extent of such material prejudice (provided that the Indemnifying Person shall have no liability whatsoever under this Article VII or otherwise if notice of a Loss or claim was not provided within the applicable survival period relating to such Loss or claim as set forth in Section 7.04). The Indemnifying Person shall, within 30 days after his, her or its receipt of a claim notice from an Indemnified Person, notify the Indemnified Person in writing as to whether the Indemnifying Person admits or disputes the claim described in the notice. If the Indemnifying Person gives

written notice that he, she or it admits the indemnification claim described in such notice, or if the Indemnifying Person fails to notify the Indemnified Person within such 30 day period that he, she or it either admits or disputes such claim for indemnification, then the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII, and subject to the limitations hereof, with respect to the Losses arising out of or related thereto. If the Indemnifying Person notifies the Indemnified Person in writing that he, she or it disputes such claim for indemnification, or that he, she or it admits the entitlement of the Indemnified Person to indemnification under this Article VII with respect thereto but disputes the amount of the Losses in connection therewith, then in either of such cases the indemnification claim described in the notice shall be a disputed indemnification claim that must be resolved by settlement between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, or by proceedings commenced and finally adjudicated in accordance with Article XI. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, amounts which the Indemnified Person is entitled to receive from the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Article VII shall be paid in accordance with Section 7.03(e).

(b) If any Loss is asserted by any third party against any Indemnified Person (“Third Party Claim”) and the Indemnifying Person admits that an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall have the right, unless otherwise precluded by applicable Law or this Section 7.03, to assume, conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of any Action or threatened Action brought against the Indemnified Person in respect of matters addressed by the indemnity set forth in this Article VII, subject to the following:

(i) The Indemnifying Person must consult with the Indemnified Person with respect to the handling of such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person must employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(ii) The Indemnifying Person must not settle or compromise any Action (A) without the express written consent of the Indemnified Person (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement solely involves the issuance of monetary relief or (B) without the express written consent of the Indemnified Person (in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion) if such settlement involves the issuance of injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, in either case binding upon the Indemnified Person, or a plea of guilty, or nolo contendere on the part of any Indemnified Person in any criminal or quasi-criminal Action or which involves any admission of liability, responsibility, culpability or guilt on the part of the Indemnified Person or which has any collateral estoppel effect on the Indemnified Person.

(iii) The Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to assume control of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person if: (A) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (B) the Indemnified Person reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Action or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Person’s reputation or future business prospects; (C) the Indemnified Person has been advised by legal counsel that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person in the conduct of such Proceeding; (D) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Person; or (E) the claim is asserted by a Major Customer or Major Supplier

of a Company. In any such case, the Indemnifying Person shall not be responsible for paying, in connection with any one Action or separate but substantially similar Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to local counsel) for all the Indemnified Persons. With respect to the Actions that are the subject of this paragraph (iii), the Indemnifying Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel (but the expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Person) and participate therein, and no Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any Action without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(c) Subject to the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Person elects to assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim, it will provide notice thereof within 30 days after the Indemnified Person has given notice of the matter, or such shorter time as the circumstances may require. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ counsel separate from counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person in any such Action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Person shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person unless (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Person in writing and the Indemnifying Person has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses or (y) the Indemnifying Person has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or otherwise fails to diligently pursue the defense of such Action. If the Indemnifying Person disputes the right of an Indemnified Person to indemnification under this Article VII with respect to the full amount of any Third Party Claim, then in such event: (i) the Indemnified Person may defend the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice; (ii) the Indemnified Person shall defend such Third-Party Claim in good faith and shall apprise the Indemnifying Person from time to time of the progress of such defense; (iii) the Indemnified Person may enter into a settlement thereof without seeking or obtaining approval of the Indemnifying Person; and (iv) the amount of the Losses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with such Third Party Claim, including the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Indemnified Person in defending the Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Person’s right to indemnification under this Article VII with respect thereto, shall be a disputed indemnification claim to be resolved by settlement between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, or by proceedings commenced in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction by either the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, or by any other mutually agreeable method.

(d) If the Indemnifying Person elects to assume and control or participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall take all commercially reasonable efforts necessary to assist the Indemnifying Person in such defense and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Person any witnesses, books, records or other documents within its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense and shall otherwise cooperate in the defense.

(e) Upon final determination of the amount due to an Indemnified Person under this Article VII (whether by agreement between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person or after a settlement agreement is executed or a final Order is rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to the Indemnification Matter) (“Indemnification Amount”) with respect to a matter for which indemnification is sought (“Indemnification Matter”), the Indemnifying Person shall promptly (and in any event, not later than 10 days after such determination) pay the Indemnification Amount, by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds, to an

account designated by the Indemnified Person subject to the limitations specifically set forth in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is the Indemnifying Person, satisfaction of the Indemnification Amount shall be subject to Section 7.05. Any payments made pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated hereto as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

(f) After delivery of a claim for indemnification under this Article VII, so long as any right to indemnification exists pursuant to this Article VII, the affected parties each agree to retain all books and records related to such claim. Any information or documents delivered to any party hereunder and designated as confidential by the party providing such information or documents and which is not otherwise generally available to the public and not already within the knowledge of the party to whom the information is provided (unless otherwise covered by the confidentiality provisions of any other agreement among the parties hereto, or any of them), and except as may be required by applicable law, shall not be disclosed to any third Person (except for the representatives of the party being provided with the information, in which event the party being provided with the information shall require its representatives not to disclose any such information which is otherwise required hereunder to be kept confidential).

Section 7.04. Survival.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.04, the representations and warranties made by the parties to this Agreement, including the representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer, shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect until the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date (the “General Survival Date”), and neither Buyer nor the Companies, on the one hand, nor Seller, on the other, shall have any liability under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.01(a)(i), respectively, with respect to any such matter if notice of a claim regarding such matter has not been provided on or prior to the General Survival Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Fundamental Representations and Buyer Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely. The representations and warranties set out in Section 5.07, Section 5.08(h) and Section 5.08(i)(vii) (each of them a “Statutory Representation” and collectively, the “Statutory Representations”) shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect until 180 days beyond: (i) for the Statutory Representations in Section 5.07, the later of (A) the expiration of the period, if any, during which an assessment, reassessment or other form of recognized document assessing liability for Taxes under applicable Tax Laws in respect of any tax year ending prior to the Closing Date could be issued under such Tax Laws to a Company, and (B) the date upon which the period to file an appeal from an assessment, reassessment or other determination of such Taxes, or decision of a Governmental Authority in respect thereof, has expired and such appeal has not been filed (the “Tax Survival Date”) and the Seller shall not have any liability under Section 7.01(a)(i) or Section 8.08 with respect to any matter if notice of a claim regarding such matter has not been provided on or prior to the Tax Survival Date; and (ii) for the Statutory Representations in Section 5.08(h) and Section 5.08(i)(vii), the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter of such representation and warranty (the “Privacy Survival Date”), and Seller shall not have any liability under Section 7.01(a)(i) with respect to any such matter if notice of a claim regarding such matter has not been provided on or prior to the Privacy Survival Date. All covenants and agreements made by the parties to this Agreement (expect for those that by their terms do not survive the Closing), shall survive the Closing and shall continue in full force and effect until the date that is 180 days following the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the subject matter of such covenant or agreement, as applicable, and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any liability under Section 7.01 or Section 7.02, respectively,

with respect to any such matter if notice of a claim regarding such matter has not been provided on or prior to such date. The foregoing survival periods shall not apply with respect to Actions that arise from or are related to any fraud or any intentional misrepresentation on the part of either party, which shall survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day of the applicable survival period, an Indemnifying Person shall have been properly notified in writing of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.05. Setoff.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.05 and in Section 7.06, with respect to any US Working Capital Shortfall or Canadian Working Capital Shortfall required under Section 2.04(f) to be paid by Seller to Buyer or any payment required under this Article VII to be made by Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Person for any indemnification claim (together with interest thereon (if any) and all costs and expenses related thereto with respect to which any Buyer Indemnified Person is entitled to recover under the provisions of this Agreement, a “Seller Payment”), Buyer shall have the right, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to satisfy the amount of such Seller Payment by set-off, offset, and reduction of any and all amounts then due or to be become due to Seller under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the Escrow Amount, the Earn-Out Amount, or any other payment stream, agreement or obligation of any kind or nature whatsoever, subject to the requirements of applicable Laws.

(b) Buyer may only exercise the right of set-off provided in this Article VII in respect of claims relating to Losses actually incurred by Buyer (in which case the amount of such set-off shall be the amount of such actual Losses) or claims actually asserted by a third Person (in which case the amount of the set-off shall not exceed the Buyer’s good faith estimate of the amount of indemnifiable Losses that will ultimately be payable to Buyer in respect of such claims). If any such claims for indemnity are resolved in favor of Sellers by mutual agreement or otherwise, or if the amount set-off exceeds the amount ultimately payable to the Buyer in respect of such claim, Buyer shall pay to the Seller the excess of such set-off amount. In the event that the amount set-off by Buyer is equal to or greater than 25% of the amount ultimately payable to Buyer in respect of such claim, then Buyer shall also pay to Seller interest at a rate of 6% per annum on such excess amount, such interest to accrue from the date on which such set-off amount would have been paid to the Seller but for the claim in question. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff or offset will constitute an election of remedies or limit any Buyer Indemnified Person in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to any Buyer Indemnified Person.

(c) Notwithstanding the survival periods set forth in Section 7.04, if Buyer provides a notice of a claim seeking indemnification with respect to any actual or alleged Loss prior to the expiration of the applicable time period set forth in Section 7.04, Buyer shall be entitled to satisfy any set-off amount pursuant to this Section 7.05 by reduction and set-off from any amounts to be paid to Seller after the expiration of the applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.04.

(d) To the extent not set-off against the Earn-Out Amount, Buyer and Seller agree that any Seller Payment, including all amounts determined as payable as a result of any claim by a

Buyer Indemnified Person for indemnification under this Article VII, shall be paid first with the Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that it shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay such amounts to Buyer from the Escrow Amount and to take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause Escrow Agent to make any such payment.

Section 7.06. Limitations.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) other than with regard to indemnification obligations with respect to: (i) any breaches of the Fundamental Representations; (ii) any breaches of the Statutory Representations; (iii) any liabilities of and any Actions that Buyer Indemnified Persons may have which arise from or are related to any fraud or any intentional misrepresentation on the part of Seller or a Company prior to the Closing; (iv) any liabilities for Taxes of a Company, not disclosed on, provided for or included in the balance sheets forming part of the Financial Statements, except those liabilities: (y) disclosed in this Agreement or any Seller Disclosure Schedule or Company Disclosure Schedule; or (z) accruing or incurred subsequent to the Balance Sheet Date but prior to the Closing in the ordinary course of business, and included in the calculations set out in Section 2.04; or (v) any liability arising out of the Pre-Closing Reorganization other than any Non-Indemnified Taxes (collectively, the “Excluded Items”), Seller shall have no indemnification obligation under Section 7.01(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of all indemnification claims thereunder exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Canadian Dollars ($25,000 CAD) (the “Deductible”), in which case Seller shall be responsible for the amount of such Losses in excess of the Deductible;

(b) subject to Section 7.06 (c), (d) and (e) Seller shall have a separate maximum indemnification obligation under Section 7.01(a)(i), including indemnification obligations satisfied by Buyer’s right to setoff pursuant to Section 7.05, equal to Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Canadian Dollars ($750,000 CAD);

(c) with respect to the Statutory Representations, Seller shall have a separate maximum indemnification obligation under Section 7.01(a)(i), including indemnification obligations satisfied by Buyer’s right to setoff pursuant to Section 7.05, equal to One Million and Five Hundred Thousand Canadian Dollars ($1,500,000);

(d) with respect to the Fundamental Representations, Seller shall have a separate maximum indemnification obligation under Section 7.01(a)(i), including indemnification obligations satisfied by Buyer’s right to setoff pursuant to Section 7.05, equal to the Purchase Price;

(e) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the amounts available to satisfy the indemnification obligations specified in each of Section 7.06(b), Section 7.06(c) and Section 7.06(d), are each separate and apart from the other amounts available and no recovery by Buyer under any one category will result in the diminution of the amount available for recovery in any other category; provided, that, in no event will the aggregate recovery by Buyer under Section 7.06(b), Section 7.06(c) and Section 7.06(d) exceed the Purchase Price; and

(f) Seller agrees that it will not seek and is not entitled to, on any theory or basis, contribution from or indemnification by, a Company for any Indemnification Matter.

Section 7.07. Remedies.

(a) The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations contained herein shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no delay of, or omission in, the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring later; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver.

(c) For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses to which the Buyer Indemnified Persons or the Seller Indemnified Persons are entitled under this Article VII, and for purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty has been breached, the terms “material,” “materiality,” and “material adverse effect”, and other words of similar meaning or import, will be disregarded.

Section 7.08. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.

All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Between the Effective Date and the Closing, each Company and Seller on the one hand, and Buyer on the other hand, shall promptly notify Buyer or Seller, as applicable, in writing if any of them becomes aware of (i) any fact or condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of Seller’s or a Company’s representations and warranties or Buyer’s representations and warranties, as applicable, made as of the Effective Date or (ii) the occurrence after the Effective Date of any fact or condition that would or would be reasonably likely to (except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such representation or warranty had that representation or warranty been made as of the time of the occurrence of, or Seller’s or a Company’s or Buyer’s, as applicable, discovery of, such fact or condition. Should any such fact or condition require any change to the Seller Disclosure Schedules, the Company Disclosure Schedules or the Buyer Disclosure Schedules, Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall promptly deliver to Buyer or Seller, as applicable, a supplement to the Seller Disclosure Schedules, the Company Disclosure Schedules or the Buyer Disclosure Schedules, as applicable, specifying such change (each, a “Schedule Update”), so long as such change is not correcting a previous disclosure that was made fraudulently or through willful misconduct, gross negligence or an intentional breach of this Agreement. Upon delivery of any such Schedule Update, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall be deemed to have waived any failure of the condition in Section 9.01(b) or Section 9.02(b), as applicable, relating solely to the fact or condition requiring such Schedule Update but such delivery shall not affect any rights of Buyer or Seller, as applicable, under Article VII. During the same period, each Company and Seller or Buyer also shall promptly notify Buyer or Seller, as applicable, of the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of such Company, Seller or Buyer, as applicable, in this Article VIII or of the occurrence of any event that may make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article IX impossible or unlikely.

Section 8.04. Restrictive Covenants.

Each of Seller and Firepower (each a “Restricted Party” and collectively, the “Restricted Parties”) agrees and confirms that in connection with the agreements and covenants herein, including the payment of the Purchase Price, and as a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller agrees with, and will hereafter fully comply with, abide by, and perform as follows:

(a) Each Restricted Party hereby covenants and agrees that until three (3) years after the Closing Date, such Restricted Party shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to engage, directly or indirectly, in any Competing Business, for itself or as a stockholder, member, partner, owner, joint venture, investor, lender, director, officer, consultant, contractor, service provider, employee, representative or agent of any other person or in any other capacity whatsoever (other than as an employee or service provider of a Company, Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer), in the Restricted Area.

(b) Each Restricted Party hereby covenants and agrees that until five (5) years after the Closing Date, such Restricted Party will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit or knowingly induce, or attempt to induce or otherwise cause any customer of a Company or any prospective client or customer to which a Company has actively marketed, in each case as of the Closing Date and the immediately preceding twelve months, to cease being a customer or to not become a client or customer of the Companies and/or Buyer after the Closing; (ii) solicit or knowingly induce, or attempt to induce, for employment or engagement, or employ, hire or engage, a Company Associate or any service provider to a Company as of the Closing Date; or (iii) solicit or knowingly induce, or attempt to induce, any Company Associate or independent contractor to terminate, diminish, or materially alter in a manner harmful to Buyer, any of its Affiliates, or the Companies, his, her or its relationship with Buyer, any of its Affiliates, or any of the Companies.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 8.04 shall not restrict a Restricted Party from: (i) providing consulting or employment services to any purchaser of Seller’s “Start-up Services Business,” which is defined as the business represented by the total technical services and total technical costs identified on the Sellers’ schedule of “Normalized EBITDA” provided to Buyer; (ii) providing debt financing to any business and any related requirements in the ordinary course for Seller and its Affiliates lending business, which for clarity may (1) entail a minority equity participation in the ownership of such business, (2) result in operational control following a loan default or as a result of enforcement action, or (3) entail director, officer or consulting relationships with such business, (iii) providing mergers and acquisition advice to a business similar to that of the Companies, or (iv) owning, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if such Seller Party is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own 1% or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(d) Seller hereby acknowledges and confirms that the provisions of this Section 8.04 are reasonable and necessary to protect the interests of Buyer and the Companies following the Closing, that any violation of this Section 8.04 may result in an immediate, irreparable injury to Buyer and the Companies and that damages at law may not be reasonable or adequate compensation to Buyer and the Companies for violation of this Section 8.04 and that, in addition to any other available remedies, Buyer and either Company shall be entitled to have the provisions of this Section 8.04 specifically enforced by preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond or other security. In the event that any court determines that any covenant contained in this Section 8.04 is unenforceable in accordance with its terms regarding duration, geographical limit or scope of prohibited activity, then such covenant shall not terminate. Instead, with respect to its operation in the jurisdiction of the court which makes the adjudication,

such covenant shall be deemed to have been amended to the extent required to render it valid and enforceable. The adjudication shall not be deemed to affect the validity or enforceability of the covenant in any jurisdiction other than the one in which the adjudication is made.

Section 8.05. Access to Information; Cooperation.

(a) From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause each Company to: (i) afford Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to and the right to inspect all of the properties, assets, premises, books and records, Contracts and other documents and data related to each Company with prior written notice; (ii) furnish Buyer and each of its Representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information related to each Company as Buyer or any of their Representatives may reasonably request; and (iii) instruct the Representatives of Seller and each Company to cooperate with Buyer in its investigation of the Companies.

(b) From the Effective Date until the Closing, Buyer, Seller and each Company agrees that the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Data by each party hereto in respect of the transaction before this transaction is effective is restricted to those purposes that relate to whether to proceed with, carry out and complete the transaction. In the event a party hereto collects, uses or discloses Personal Data before the transaction is effective, such party will protect such Personal Data with security safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity. If the transaction does not proceed, such party that has received such Personal Data shall return it to the disclosing party, or destroy it, within a reasonable time, as requested by the disclosing party.

(c) Promptly, and in any event within 45 days of the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, audited financial statements for and financial information for each of the Companies, in each case in compliance with ASPE and otherwise in a form acceptable to Buyer, such that Buyer can meet their reporting obligations to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

(d) After the Closing, to the extent Seller receives any cash or other consideration on account of the Company Business, Seller covenants and agrees to hold such amount in trust for the benefit of Buyer, and to promptly notify Buyer of its receipt of such cash or other consideration and pay such amounts to an account of Buyer as directed by Buyer.

(e) If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Buyer with full right, title and possession to the Purchased Shares, and indirectly, to the US Shares, and to transition to Buyer the Company Business, Seller agrees to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action required to so do or that Buyer otherwise reasonably requests to carry out and give effect to Seller’s agreements and undertakings pursuant to this Agreement, including providing Buyer access to and use of Seller’s time collection database relating to the Company Business and providing Buyer access to, the right to inspect and copies of such books, records, documents, data and other information relating to the Company Business as Buyer may reasonably request (including payroll records, invoices and tax-related information relating to the Company Business and in the possession of Seller). In furtherance thereof, Seller hereby agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments or documents, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, or take such other action as may be necessary to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 8.06. Press Releases; Confidentiality.

(a) None of Buyer, the Companies, Seller, nor any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, Representatives, or agents, shall make any press release or public announcement disclosing the existence of this Agreement or make known publicly any facts related to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Buyer on the one hand or Seller on the other hand, except where such disclosure is required by Law, in which event only after prior consultation with such other party.

(b) Seller recognizes and acknowledges that it has in the past, currently has, and in the future may have, access to non-public information of the Companies and/or Buyer and their Affiliates (including Parent) that are valuable, special and unique assets of the Companies and/or Buyer and their Affiliates (including Parent). Seller agrees that it will not disclose such information to any Person, at any time following the Effective Date, for any purpose or reason whatsoever, except (i) to Representatives of Buyer, (ii) to investors and funding partners of Firepower; and (iii) to counsel and other advisors, provided that such advisors (other than counsel) agree in writing to the confidentiality provisions of this Section, unless (A) such information is or becomes known to the public generally through no fault of Seller, or (B) disclosure is required by Law or the Order of any Governmental Authority under color of law, provided, that prior to disclosing any information pursuant to this clause (B), Seller shall give prior written notice thereof to Buyer and the Companies and provide Buyer and the Companies with reasonable opportunity to contest such disclosure, unless otherwise prohibited by the terms of such Law, regulation, Order or request. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Seller of the provisions of this Section 8.06(b), Buyer and either Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining Seller from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Buyer or either Company from pursuing any other remedy provided for under this Agreement or otherwise for such breach or threatened breach.

(c) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic loss as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants in this Section 8.06 and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that would be caused for which there may be no other adequate remedy, the parties hereto agree that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by any of them of the foregoing covenants, the covenants may be enforced against them by injunction or restraining order.

Section 8.07. Transaction Expenses; Company Obligations.

Each party shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such party to third parties in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party, and in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including legal, accounting and broker’s fees (the “Transaction Expenses”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all Transaction Expenses of the Companies (prior to the Closing) and Seller and all Company Obligations shall be borne, paid, satisfied, and discharged solely and exclusively by Seller and shall have been paid in full by Seller prior to the Closing or at the Closing as a reduction of the Purchase Price payable by Buyer to Seller at the Closing and neither Buyer nor the Companies (following the Closing) shall have any liability or responsibility therefor.

Section 8.08. Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Indemnity. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Persons from, against and in respect of any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Persons to the extent arising out of, relating to or resulting from: (i) any Taxes imposed on or with respect to a Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period; (ii) any Taxes imposed on a Company as a result of the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or the analogous provisions of any state, local, provincial, Canadian or other foreign Law as a result of a Company being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) any payments required to be made after the Closing Date under any Tax sharing, Tax indemnity, Tax allocation or similar Contract (whether or not written) to which a Company was obligated, or was a party, on or prior to the Closing Date; (iv) any Losses attributable to any breach of the representations in Section 5.07 or the provisions this Section 8.08; (v) any Taxes imposed in connection with the Pre-Closing Reorganization, including any Taxes imposed as a result of the application of the foreign affiliate anti-dumping rules under Section 212.3 of the ITA (to the extent such Section 212.3 Taxes arose as a result of the Pre-Closing Reorganization); and (vi) all liability for Taxes arising (directly or indirectly) as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify the Buyer with respect to Non-Indemnified Taxes.

(b) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Seller shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, on a timely basis, and on a basis reasonably consistent with past practice and in accordance with applicable Law, all Tax Returns with respect to any Company for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Period Returns”). Seller shall provide a draft copy of such Pre-Closing Period Returns to Buyer for its review at least 30 Business Days prior to the due date thereof. Buyer shall provide its comments to Seller at least 10 Business Days prior to the due date of such returns and Seller shall in good faith take into consideration all of such comments. Seller shall be responsible for and shall timely pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes with respect to any Company shown to be due on such Pre-Closing Period Returns no later than the due date thereof; provided, however, that Seller’s foregoing obligation to pay such Taxes shall not apply to the extent that such Taxes are accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet.

(c) Straddle Periods. Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, on a timely basis, and on a basis reasonably consistent with past practice, all Tax Returns of any Company for any Straddle Period (“Straddle Period Returns”). Buyer shall provide a draft copy of each Straddle Period Return, together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Seller, supporting documentation, to Seller for its review at least 30 Business Days prior to the due date thereof. Seller shall provide its comments to Buyer at least five Business Days prior to the due date of such returns and Buyer shall in good faith take into consideration all of such comments. Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes with respect to any Company shown to be due on such Straddle Period Returns to the extent such Taxes relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that Seller’s foregoing obligation to pay such Taxes shall not apply to the extent that such Taxes are accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) In the case of any gross receipts, income, or similar Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes allocable between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period shall be determined on the basis of a deemed closing at the end of the Closing Date of the books and records of such Company.

(ii) In the case of any Taxes (other than gross receipts, income, or similar Taxes) that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the product of: (A) all such Taxes; and (B) the percentage, expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; provided, however, that appropriate adjustments shall be made to reflect specific events that can be identified and specifically allocated as occurring on or prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any party hereto, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 8.08 and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return preparation, audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making their respective employees, outside consultants and advisors available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer and Seller agree: (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to a Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer, Seller or a Company, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority; and (B) to give the other reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other so requests, Buyer, Seller or a Company, as the case may be, shall allow the other to take possession of such books and records.

(ii) Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder).

(iii) Seller further agrees, upon request, to provide Buyer with all information that Buyer may reasonably require to satisfy the requirements of ASC 740.

(f) Amended Tax Returns. Seller shall not amend or cause the amendment of any Tax Returns of a Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or file a claim for refund of Taxes attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, without (i) the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) complying with Section 8.08(b). Seller shall not amend or cause the amendment of any Tax Returns of a Company relating to a Straddle Period, or file a claim for refund of Taxes attributable to any Straddle Period, without the prior written consent of Buyer. However, subject to Section 8.08(g) and Section 8.08(j), Buyer consents to Seller filing amended Tax Returns for the Pre-Closing Tax Period or a

Straddle Period in the event that a Taxing Authority audits such Tax Returns to modify the designation(s) made under paragraph 111(4)(e) of the ITA, provided that total income or gain realized by Company as a result of such modified designation(s) does not change.

(g) Tax Contests. After the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right to participate jointly with Buyer in representing the interests of a Company or Seller in any Tax audit or administrative or Proceeding (a “Tax Contest”) that relates to any Taxes of a Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, subject to and in accordance with all of the provisions set forth in Section 7.03 regarding Third Party Claims. Any settlement or other disposition of any Tax Contest relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, Straddle Period, or for the first Post-Closing Tax Period of the Canadian Company (to the extent that the Pre-Closing Reorganization is relevant to the Tax Contest), may only be made with the consent of the Seller and Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall have sole control over any Tax Contest relating to a taxable period that begins after the Closing Date.

(h) Refunds. Any Tax refund, credit or similar benefit (including any interest paid or credited with respect thereto) (a “Tax Refund”) relating to the Company for Taxes paid for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be the property of Sellers except to the extent such Tax Refund was taken into account in calculating the Closing Purchase Price Payment.

(i) Section 338(g) Election. Buyer shall be entitled to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code with respect to any of the Companies, and Buyers, rather than Seller shall bear any Taxes associated with such election. Buyer shall hold the Seller harmless from and liabilities relating to any US Taxes arising from such election made by US Company.

(j) Excessive Dividend Elections. The Seller consents and concurs to the making of the elections in subsections 185.1(2) (or any provincial equivalent) and 184(3) (or any provincial equivalent) of the ITA (or any provincial equivalent) should Canadian Company be re-assessed under Part III.1 of the ITA for making an “excessive eligible dividend designation” or under Part III of the ITA for making an “excessive capital dividend election” as part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization or at any time prior to the Closing Date, and further agrees to do all such things and take all such actions as Buyer may reasonably request to further evidence or perfect such consent, concurrence or otherwise ensure that Canadian Company incurs no liability for making an “excessive eligible dividend designation” or an “excessive capital dividend election” as part of the Pre-Closing Reorganization or at any time prior to the Closing Date.

(k) Paragraph 88(1)(d) Designation. The Seller will advise the Buyer in writing of any transaction or event that could reasonably be expected to prevent Canadian Company or its successors from obtaining a full tax cost “bump” pursuant to paragraph 88(1)(d) of the ITA in respect of the shares of US Company within ten Business days of the Seller becoming aware of any such transaction or event.

Section 8.09. Closing Conditions.

From the Effective Date until the Closing, each party hereto shall, and Seller shall cause each Company to, use reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the closing conditions set forth in Article IX hereof.

Section 8.10. Interim Financial Statements.

Commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the Closing Date, each Company shall (and Seller shall cause each Company to) deliver to Buyer within ten (10) calendar days after the end of each calendar month a copy of the unaudited balance sheet of each Company for such month prepared in a manner and containing information consistent with such Company’s current practices and certified by such Company’s chief financial officer as to compliance with Section 5.04(a).

Section 8.11. Interwork Names Change.

Seller shall, and shall cause any of its Affiliates using the Names, to cease and discontinue promptly, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after the Closing Date, any and all uses of the Names at the expense of Seller, including, as applicable, dissolving any such entity or changing any such entity’s corporate or company name to remove any reference to the Names and file in each jurisdiction in which such entity is qualified to do business all documents necessary to reflect such change of name or to terminate qualification in such jurisdiction under such name. No later than 15 Business Days after the Closing Date Seller shall and shall cause any Affiliate using the Names to (i) revise all letterheads, policies and procedures and other internal documents and materials to delete all references to the Names, and (ii) cease, and not at any time thereafter, hold itself out as having any affiliation or association with Buyer and their Affiliates (including the Companies).

(c) All amounts held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be held for the benefit of the Seller and the Buyer and the delivery of the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent shall not give rise to a debtor-creditor or other similar relationship.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent will have acted prudently in depositing the Escrow Amount at any Approved Bank, and that, upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of confirmation of such deposit from the applicable approved Bank, the Escrow Agent is not required to make any further inquiries in respect of any such Approved Bank.

(d) At any time and from time to time, the Seller and the Buyer shall be entitled to direct the Escrow Agent by joint written notice (a) not to deposit any new amounts in any Approved Bank specified in the notice and/or (b) to withdraw all or any of the Escrow Amount that may then be deposited with any Approved Bank specified in the notice and re-deposit such amount with one or more of such other Approved Banks as specified in the notice. With respect to any withdrawal notice, the Escrow Agent will endeavor to withdraw such amount specified in the notice as soon as reasonably practicable and the Seller and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that such specified amount remains at the sole risk of the Seller and the Buyer prior to and after such withdrawal, except to the extent any diminution or loss with respect to such amount is caused by the Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct, fraud, bad faith or gross negligence.

5. Authorized Disbursements. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to disburse funds only in accordance with Section 6 and Section 7 of this Agreement.

6. Release from Escrow.

(a) The Escrow Amount shall be released by the Escrow Agent as follows:

(i) The Seller and the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (i) a Joint Notice of Release to the Escrow Agent clearly specifying in detail the amount of Escrow Amount to be disbursed, and the recipient(s) of such disbursement (either or each, as applicable, a “Receiving Party”) or (ii) a final, non-appealable order, writ, judgment or decision rendered or issued by a court of competent jurisdiction (a “ Final Order”) clearly directing or specifying the release to a Receiving Party of all or the portion of the Escrow Amount that is determined to be the amount recoverable by such Receiving Party pursuant to the Final Order. The Escrow Agent shall conclusively presume that any court sitting in the Province of Ontario, Canada or the State of Delaware, USA, which has issued an order or judgment regarding disposition of the Escrow Amount is a court of competent jurisdiction and that such order or judgment is final and non-appealable if thirty (30) calendar days have elapsed from the date such order or judgment was issued and the Escrow Agent has received an opinion of counsel stating that such judgment or order is final and non- appealable. The Escrow Agent shall receive and may conclusively rely upon such an opinion of counsel to the effect that such Final Order is final, non-appealable and from a court of competent jurisdiction.

(ii) Following Escrow Agent’s receipt of a Joint Notice of Release or Final Order pursuant to Section 6(a)(i), as applicable, the Escrow Agent shall pay from the Escrow Amount, to the Receiving Party, the amount(s) specified therein.

Any amount withheld on account of clause (B) above on the Interim Escrow Release Date shall be subsequently released in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

(iv) On the Escrow Period Termination Date, the Escrow Agent shall pay the then-remaining amount of the Escrow Amount, less any Remaining Escrow Amount, to Seller.

(v) Any Remaining Escrow Amount that continues to be held by the Escrow Agent following the Escrow Period Termination Date shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent following receipt of (i) a Joint Notice of Release or (ii) a Final Order in accordance with Section 6(a)(i) and Section 11, in each case, to the Receiving Party(ies) and in the amount(s) set forth therein.

7. Loss Notice.

(a) Loss Notice. If the Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has a Claim, then the Buyer shall give a written notice of such determination to the Escrow Agent and to the Seller, setting out the reasons for the Claim as well as a good faith estimate of the amount of the Claim (the “Claim Amount”) and reasonable details of the calculation of such Claim Amount (a “Loss Notice”). Upon receipt of a Loss

Notice, the Escrow Agent shall promptly notify the Seller in writing that it has received a Loss Notice, including a copy thereof, and shall set aside from the Escrow Amount the Claim Amount in the Loss Notice, up to the amount of funds then in in the Escrow Account. The Escrow Agent shall hold such amount until it disburses such amount in accordance with Section 6.

(b) Disbursement.

(i) If the Escrow Agent receives a Loss Notice, the Seller will have thirty (30) calendar days from and after the date on which it receives the Loss Notice (the “Review Period”) to deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Buyer a written objection to the Loss Notice pursuant to which the Seller may dispute all or any portion of the Claim and the Claim Amount (a “Dispute Notice”). If the Escrow Agent has not received a Dispute Notice prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Escrow Agent shall, no later than three (3) Business Days following the expiration of the Review Period, release to the Buyer, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Buyer, a portion of the Escrow Amount equal to the Claim Amount.

(ii) If, prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Seller in good faith delivers to the Escrow Agent and the Buyer a Dispute Notice, then the Escrow Agent shall take no further action pursuant to such Loss Notice, until receipt by it of a (i) Joint Notice of Release authorizing the release to the Buyer of the portion of the Escrow Amount that is agreed upon by the Seller and the Buyer as the amount recoverable by the Buyer or (ii) a Final Order. Upon receipt of a Joint Notice of Release or a Final Order, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Buyer the portion, if any, of the Escrow Amount set forth in such Joint Direction or Final Order, as applicable. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the truth of any statements made in a Loss Notice nor shall the Escrow Agent have a duty to confirm receipt by the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, of such Loss Notice.

8. No Limitation. The Buyer’s rights and recourses against the Seller for indemnification with respect to any Claims under the Purchase Agreement shall not be replaced, limited or deemed to be waived, in whole or in part, by the exercise of the Buyer’s rights and recourses under this Agreement or any other terms and conditions of this Agreement except to the extent of any payment made by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Account to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement following delivery of a Loss Notice in respect of a Claim.

9. Termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement will terminate and be of no further force and effect upon such day as the Escrow Agent has disbursed the entire Escrow Amount in accordance with Section 6 and/or Section 7.

10. Responsibility of the Escrow Agent; Indemnification.

(a) The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent acts hereunder as an escrow agent only and (i) shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any instrument deposited with it (including, without limitation, the Purchase

Agreement), for the form or execution of such instruments, for the identity, authority or right of any Person or party executing or depositing such instruments or for determining or compelling compliance therewith, and shall not otherwise be bound thereby; (ii) shall be obligated only for the performance of such duties as are expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement on its part to be performed, and no implied duties or obligations of any kind shall be read into this Agreement against or on the part of the Escrow Agent; (iii) shall not be required to take notice of any default or to take any action with respect to such default involving any expense or liability, unless notice in writing of such default is formally given to the Escrow Agent, and unless it is indemnified and funded, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to it, against such expense or liability; (iv) may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any joint (i.e. from the Seller and the Buyer) written notice, instruction (including, without limitation, wire transfer instructions, whether incorporated herein or provided in a separate written instruction), instrument, statement, certificate, request or other document furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person(s); and (v) may employ and consult counsel reasonably satisfactory to it, including in-house counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

(b) The Escrow Agent may employ such counsel (provided that counsel shall be limited to one counsel per applicable jurisdiction), or at its own cost, other experts, agents or advisors as it may reasonably require for the purpose of discharging its duties under this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent may act and shall be protected in acting in good faith on the opinion or advice or on information obtained from any such parties. Upon providing the Buyer and the Seller with notice of its intention to retain or hire counsel (and not any other expert, agent or advisor), the reasonable, actual and documented, out-of-pocket costs of such services shall be added to and be part of the Fees payable hereunder.

(c) The Escrow Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be held liable for refusing to act unless it has received clear and reasonable documentation which complies with the terms of this Agreement. Such documentation must not require the exercise of any discretion or independent judgment.

(d) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless indemnified as provided for herein, other than (i) as a result of its own fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or (ii) in connection with the performance of the services provided hereunder in the ordinary course of business.

(e) The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any mistake of fact, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except for its own fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(f) The Escrow Agent shall incur no liability with respect to the delivery or non-delivery of any cash in accordance with the terms hereof whether delivered by hand, wire

transfer, registered mail or bonded courier, except for its own fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(g) The forwarding of a cheque by the Escrow Agent will satisfy and discharge the liability for any cash amounts due to the extent of the sum or sums represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax deducted or withheld as required by law) unless such cheque is not honoured on presentation; provided that in the event of non-receipt of such cheque by the payee, or loss or destruction thereof, the Escrow Agent upon being furnished with reasonable evidence of such non-receipt, loss or destruction and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, will issue to such payee a replacement cheque for the amount of such cheque.

(h) The Buyer and the Seller shall severally and equally, but not jointly, indemnify the Escrow Agent and its successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless against all actions, proceedings, liability, claims, damages, reasonable, actual and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable, actual and documented expert consultant and legal fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) whatsoever arising from the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder (unless arising from the Escrow Agent’s fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) and including any action or liability brought against or incurred by the Indemnified Parties in relation to or arising out of any breach by the Buyer or the Seller or by the failure of the Indemnified Parties to do such acts as may be necessary to register, perfect, release or discharge the security created hereby as the same may be registered, filed or recorded in any public office. This indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent and the termination or discharge of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, any liability of the Escrow Agent shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the amount of Fees paid or owed by the Seller and the Buyer to the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, except as a result of the Escrow Agent’s own fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and whether such losses or damages are foreseeable or unforeseeable, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any (a) breach by any other party of securities law or other rule of any securities regulatory authority, (b) lost profits or (c) special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, aggravated or punitive losses or damages.

(j) The Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Amount but is serving as escrow agent only and is not a debtor of the parties hereto in respect of the Escrow Amount.

(k) The Escrow Agent shall have no duties except those which are expressly set forth herein, and it shall not be bound by any notice of a claim or demand with respect to, or any waiver, modification, amendment, termination or rescission of this Agreement, unless received by it in writing, and signed by the parties hereto and if its duties herein are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

(l) The Escrow Agent accepts the duties and responsibilities under this Agreement as agent, and no trust is intended to be, or is or will be, created hereby and the Escrow Agent shall owe no duties hereunder as trustee.

(m) Except as specifically otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement, including Sections 10(b) and the last sentence of Section 2, the Escrow Amount is not subject to any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or other rights which the Escrow Agent may have against any of the parties hereto or against any other person for any reason whatsoever. The Escrow Amount is not the property of the Escrow Agent and shall not be subject to any lien, attachment or other judicial process of any creditor of the Escrow Agent.

(n) Sections 10(h) and 10(i) shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

(o) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt. the Escrow Agent shall at all times remain liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken (as finally adjudicated in a court of competent jurisdiction) as a direct result of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or bad faith.

11. Dispute Resolution. It is understood and agreed that should any dispute arise with respect to the delivery, ownership, right of possession and/or disposition of the Escrow Amount, or should any claim be made upon the Escrow Agent or the Escrow Amount by a third party, the Escrow Agent, upon receipt of notice of such dispute or claim, is authorized and shall be entitled (at its sole option and election) to retain in its possession without liability, all or any of said Escrow Amount until, as applicable, the expiration of the Review Period or such dispute shall have been settled either by the mutual written agreement of the parties involved and the delivery of a Joint Notice of Release to Escrow Agent or by a Final Order. A copy of any such Final Order shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by the Buyer and the Seller forthwith upon receipt thereof. The Escrow Agent may, but shall be under no duty whatsoever to, institute or defend any legal proceedings which relate to the Escrow Amount.

12. Resignation or Removal of the Escrow Agent; Successor by Merger.

(a) Resignation or removal and delivery. The Escrow Agent may at any time resign as such, subject to this Section 12, by delivering written notice of resignation to the other parties to this Agreement and by delivering the Escrow Amount (less any portion thereof previously actually distributed to a Receiving Party in accordance with this Agreement) to any successor escrow agent designated by the Buyer and the Seller, or by a court of competent jurisdiction, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with this Agreement. The resignation of the Escrow Agent will take effect on the earlier to occur of (the “Resignation Date”): (i) the appointment of a successor escrow agent as aforesaid or by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (ii) the day which is thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Escrow Agent’s written notice of resignation to the other parties hereto, or such shorter notice as the parties accept as sufficient. If the Escrow Agent has not received written notice of the designation of a successor escrow agent by the Resignation Date, the Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility after such time shall be to retain and safeguard the Escrow Amount until receipt of written notice of the designation of a successor

escrow agent hereunder or pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. If a successor escrow agent has not been appointed within ninety (90) days of the date of the delivery of its written notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Amount to the party designated jointly by the Buyer and the Seller and all of the Escrow Agent’s duties and obligations under this Agreement shall thereupon cease immediately. Failing such designation by the Buyer and the Seller, the Escrow Agent shall deliver such Escrow Amount to a court of competent jurisdiction whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall have no further duties and obligations under this Agreement. The Buyer and the Seller, acting together, shall have power at any time to remove the existing escrow agent and to appoint a successor escrow agent.

(b) Deduction of Fees. If the Escrow Agent resigns or is removed pursuant to this Section 12, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, prior to delivery to any party of the Escrow Amount, to deduct any amounts owing to it in respect to outstanding Fees and disbursements and this Agreement shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall have no further duties and obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Incapacity. If the Escrow Amount is to be released hereunder to a party who has become bankrupt, has gone into liquidation or has otherwise become incapable of performing their rights and responsibilities under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall forthwith deliver the Escrow Amount including any interest and other investment income earned of the Escrow Amount, less any amounts owing to it in respect to outstanding Fees and disbursements, to a court of competent jurisdiction. If both Seller and Buyer have become bankrupt, have gone into liquidation or have otherwise become incapable of performing their rights and responsibilities under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall forthwith deliver the Escrow Amount, including any interest and other investment income earned of the Escrow Amount, less any amounts owing to it in respect to outstanding Fees and disbursements, to a court of competent jurisdiction and provide written notice to the Buyer and the Seller of the disposition of such amounts. Upon such delivery of such amounts, this Agreement shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall have no further duties and obligations.

(d) Incapacity of the Escrow Agent. In the event of the Escrow Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Buyer and the Seller, acting together, shall forthwith appoint a successor escrow agent; failing such appointment by the Buyer and the Seller, the retiring Escrow Agent, acting alone, may apply, at the expense of the Buyer and the Seller, to a justice of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on such notice as such justice may direct, for the appointment of a successor escrow agent; but any successor escrow agent so appointed by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Buyer and the Seller, acting together.

(e) Transfer and delivery; Fees. Any successor escrow agent appointed under any provision of this Section 12 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Ontario, Canada and, if required by the applicable legislation for any other jurisdiction, in such other jurisdictions. On any such appointment, the successor escrow agent shall be vested with the same

powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as the Escrow Agent hereunder. At the request of the Buyer and the Seller or the successor escrow agent, the retiring Escrow Agent, upon payment of the amounts, if any, due to it pursuant to this Agreement, including any amounts owing to it in respect to outstanding Fees and disbursements and interest thereon, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the successor escrow agent all property and money held, and all records kept, by the retiring Escrow Agent hereunder or in connection herewith.

(f) Succession. Any corporation into or with which the Escrow Agent may be merged or consolidated or amalgamated, or any corporation resulting therefrom to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Escrow Agent shall be the successor to the Escrow Agent hereunder without any further act on its part or any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor escrow agent hereunder.

13. Tax Reporting.

(a) The Buyer and the Seller agree that, for tax reporting purposes, all interest or other taxable income earned from the investment of the Escrow Amount in any tax year shall (i) to the extent such interest is distributed by the Escrow Agent to any person or entity pursuant to the terms of this Agreement during such tax year, be allocated to such person or entity and (ii) otherwise be allocated between the Seller and the Buyer, split equally.

(b) The Buyer and the Seller agree to provide the Escrow Agent with their certified tax identification numbers and others forms, documents and information that the Escrow Agent may request in order to fulfill any tax reporting function.

14. Anti-money Laundering.

(a) Each party to this Agreement (in this paragraph referred to as a “Representing Party”), other than the Escrow Agent, hereby represents to the Escrow Agent that any account to be opened by, or interest to held by, the Escrow Agent in connection with this Agreement, for or to the credit of such representing party, either (i) is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any third party; or (ii) is intended to be used by or on behalf of a third party, in which case such representing party hereby agrees to complete, execute and deliver forthwith to the Escrow Agent a declaration, in the Escrow Agent’s prescribed form or in such other form as may be satisfactory to it, as to the particulars of such third party.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to information made available to otherwise discovered by the Escrow Agent and promptly delivered to the Seller and the Buyer, the Escrow Agent reasonably determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Escrow Agent reasonably determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or economic sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right

to resign on ten (10) days written notice to the other parties to this Agreement, provided (i) that the Escrow Agent’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Escrow Agent’s satisfaction within such ten (10) day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

15. Privacy. The Buyer and the Seller acknowledge that the Escrow Agent may, in the course of providing services hereunder, collect or receive financial and other personal information about such parties and/or their representatives, as individuals, or about other individuals related to the subject matter hereof, and use such information for the following purposes:

(a) to provide the services required under this Agreement and other services that may be requested from time to time by the Buyer or the Seller, as applicable;

(b) to help the Escrow Agent manage its servicing relationships with such individuals;

(d) if Social Insurance Numbers are collected by the Escrow Agent, to perform tax reporting and to assist in verification of an individual’s identity for security purposes.

Some of this personal information may be transferred to servicers in the U.S.A. for data processing and/or storage. Further, each party agrees that it shall not provide or cause to be provided to the Escrow Agent any personal information relating to an individual who is not a party to this Agreement unless that party has assured itself that such individual understands and has consented to the aforementioned terms, uses and disclosures.

(“Firepower”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, on the Effective Date, Buyer acquired Interwork Technologies Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (“IW Canada”) and, indirectly, all of the capital stock of Interwork Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IW US” and, together with IW Canada, the “Companies”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IW Canada, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2020 (the “Acquisition”), by and among Buyer, the Companies, Seller and Firepower (solely for purposes of Section 8.04 thereof);

(a) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that is directly or indirectly Controlling, Controlled by, or under common Control with such Person, where “Control” and derivative terms mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

(b) trade in Wayside’s securities; or

(c) communicate Confidential Information to another Person, other than investors and funding partners of Firepower, that directly or indirectly trades in or directs its Representatives to trade in Wayside’s securities.

3. Remedies. The parties agree that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or potential breach of this Agreement by Seller or Firepower or any of their Representatives (treating such Representatives as if they were signatories hereto) and that without prejudice to any other rights and in addition to all other remedies it may be entitled to, Wayside shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief without proof of damages and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security as a remedy for any such breach or potential breach.

By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to the appellate courts therefrom solely for the purposes of disputes arising under this Agreement and not as a general submission to such jurisdiction or with respect to any other dispute, matter or claim whatsoever. The parties

hereto irrevocably consent to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of copies thereof by overnight courier to the address for such party to which notices are deliverable hereunder.

The parties hereto hereby waive any right to stay or dismiss any action or proceeding under or in connection with this Agreement brought before the foregoing courts on the basis of: (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason, or that it or any of its property is immune from the above-described legal process; (ii) that such action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that venue for the action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts; or (iii) any other defense that would hinder or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party hereto is entitled pursuant to any final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

8. Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall, to the extent possible, be modified in such manner as to be valid, legal and enforceable but so as to most nearly retain the intent of the parties, and if such modification is not possible, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement. In either case, the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so modified or excluded, as the case may be, and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

9. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon the earlier of: (a) personal delivery to the party to be notified; (b) actual receipt after deposit with the United States Post Office, by certified mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested; (c) the actual receipt after dispatch via nationally recognized overnight courier; or (d) confirmation of transmission by electronic mail (provided such transmission is also contemporaneously sent via one of the methods specified in clauses (a), (b) or (c)), all addressed to the party to be notified at the address indicated for such party below, or at such other address

This Restrictive Covenant Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of [•], 2020 (“Effective Date”), by [Jared Kalish] / [Anthony Lipschitz] (“Restricted Party”), in favor and for the benefit of CLIMB Channel Solutions (Canada) Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (including any successors or assigns thereof, “Buyer”), Interwork Technologies Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (the “Canadian Company”), Interwork Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “US Company” and, together with the Canadian Company, the “Companies”, and each individually, a “Company”), and the other Beneficiaries (as herein defined).

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2020 (the “Purchase Agreement”; capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Purchase Agreement), by and among Buyer, the Companies, Seller and Firepower (solely for purposes of Section 8.04 thereof), Buyer is acquiring from Seller all of the capital stock of the Canadian Company and indirectly of all of the capital stock of US Company, Canadian Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (together with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the “Closing”);

WHEREAS, Restricted Party’s execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the Closing; and

WHEREAS, Restricted Party will indirectly receive consideration in connection with, and derive other material benefit from, the Closing and accordingly is willing to enter into this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees:

1.2. (i) that, during the course and as a result of Restricted Party’s direct or indirect ownership, position, involvement or other relationship with respect to the Seller, the Companies (prior to the Closing) and the Company Business, Obligor has come into contact with employees, representatives, agents, independent contractors, and consultants of or to or providing services directly or indirectly to or for the Sellers and/or the Company Business, and become aware of their knowledge, skills, abilities, salaries, commissions, compensation, and benefits and other matters with respect to such employees, representatives, agents, independent contractors and consultants not generally known to the public, and (ii) that any solicitation, luring away or hiring or retaining of any of the employees, representatives, agents, contractors and/or consultants of or to or providing services directly or indirectly to or for any of the Beneficiaries will be highly detrimental to the business of one or more of the Beneficiaries and will cause the Beneficiaries loss of business and great and irreparable harm.

4. Restricted Party agrees at all times from and after the Effective Date to hold, and to cause each of Restricted Party’s Affiliates to hold, in strictest confidence, and to not directly or indirectly use, or cause or permit any of Restricted Party’s Affiliates to use, for any purpose, or disclose, or cause or permit any of Obligor’s Affiliate to disclose, to any Person, without the express prior written authorization of Buyer, any Confidential Information. For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means: any and all confidential or proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how of or used by or for any Seller in connection with the Company Business, including but not limited to software, inventions, technology, advertising and/or marketing data or strategies, license or other contract terms or

injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or making a showing that monetary damages would be inadequate. In the event that any court determines that any covenant contained in this Agreement is unenforceable in accordance with its terms regarding duration, geographical limit or scope of prohibited activity, then such covenant shall not terminate. Instead, with respect to its operation in the jurisdiction of the court which makes the adjudication, such covenant shall be deemed to have been amended to the extent required to render it valid and enforceable. The adjudication shall not be deemed to affect the validity or enforceability of the covenant in any jurisdiction other than the one in which the adjudication is made. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Buyer, the Companies and the Beneficiaries and their respective successors and assigns, and the rights and remedies for breach by Restricted Party available to Buyer, the Companies and the Beneficiaries shall be binding upon Restricted Party and Restricted Party’s heirs, court-appointed personal representatives and successors thereof.
