Following the Purchaser’s timely receipt of the Disagreement Notice, Sellers’ Representatives and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve and finally determine the Closing Statements. Any aspect of the Closing Statements not in dispute on the date the Disagreement Notice is given shall be deemed as final and binding on the parties.

(c) In the event that the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser are unable to agree on any aspect of the Closing Statements, they shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any difference of view between them. If they are unable to do so, then either the Sellers’ Representatives or the Purchaser may issue a written notice of dispute/ to the other and refer the dispute to PwC Canada, to the extent not in a conflict of interest and willing to accept the mandate, failing which another nationally recognized firm of Chartered Accountants or independent accountants shall be mutually agreed upon by the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser, or, in the absence of such agreement within 30 days, shall be appointed by the Superior Court of Québec at the request of the Sellers’ Representatives or the Purchaser (the “Expert”), who shall be appointed to resolve the dispute, acting as an expert, not an arbitrator.

(d) The Expert shall be instructed to make a decision on the dispute within 30 days of being appointed and shall be given access to all materials and information requested by it for such purpose. The procedures to be followed by the Expert shall be determined by the Expert in its discretion but shall include an opportunity for each of the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser to submit evidence and argument and to respond to the other party’s evidence and argument. No party shall engage in any ex parte communication (without the inclusion of the other party) with the Expert, and any information or documentation provided to the Expert shall be simultaneously provided to the other party. The foundation of the Expert’s decision must deal only with the dispute and be based solely on the submissions of the Sellers’ Representatives and the Purchaser within the range proposed by the Purchaser on the one hand and the Sellers’ Representatives on the other hand and the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement. The decision of the Expert with respect to any matter in dispute (including as to all procedural matters and any decision as to costs) shall be final and binding on each of the Sellers’ Representatives, for and on behalf of each Seller, and the Purchaser and shall not be subject to appeal by any party. Upon a decision of the Expert with respect to all matters in dispute, such amendments shall be made to the Closing Statements as may be necessary to reflect such decision. The fees and disbursements charged by the Expert shall be divided between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to a party bears to the contested amount, which percentage shall be finally determined by the Expert. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.5(d) to the extent (if any) required to give effect to the Expert’s decision.

- 24 -

(e) Additionally, if required by the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Sellers agree to cooperate in Purchaser’s post-closing audit of the Company in accordance with GAAP, provided, however that all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Sellers in carrying out or cooperating with such an audit shall be assumed or reimbursed by the Purchaser.

(f) If, after the Closing Statements are settled and finalized, the Purchase Price as agreed to by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives or as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.5(b) or 2.5(d) (the “Final Purchase Price”) is greater or less than the Estimated Purchase Price, an adjustment payment shall be made in immediately available funds within five Business Days of such agreement or final determination, as follows:

(i) if the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, the amount of such difference (the “Purchase Price Overpayment”) shall be payable by the Sellers to the Purchaser. Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives shall sign a joint direction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser, on behalf of the Sellers, an amount equal to the full amount of any Purchase Price Overpayment from the Adjustment Escrow Amount in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. To the extent that the Purchase Price Overpayment is greater than the Adjustment Escrow Amount held by the Escrow Agent, then each Seller shall pay to the Purchaser its Pro Rata Portion of an amount equal to the deficiency. To the extent that the Purchase Price Overpayment is less than the Adjustment Escrow Amount, the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives shall sign a joint direction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the remainder of the Adjustment Escrow Amount in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement to the Sellers in accordance with the Payment Allocation Schedule, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Sellers’ Representative; and

In this event or if the Final Purchase Price is equal to the Estimated Purchase Price, the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives shall sign a joint direction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement to the Sellers in accordance with the Payment Allocation Schedule by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Sellers’ Representatives.

(ii) in the case of Taxes not described in subsection (i) above (such as Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, or Taxes that are based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended on the day prior to the Closing Date.

(f) If it is determined that the Company has made an election under subsection 83(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount of any dividend paid or deemed to have been paid by it on shares of any class of its capital stock on or prior to the Closing Date, and the full amount of such dividend exceeded the amount of the “capital dividend account” (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Company immediately before the dividend became payable, the Sellers hereby concur (or shall cause the recipient of the relevant dividend to concur) in the making of an election under subsection 184(3) of the Tax Act in respect of such dividend, and such election shall be made by the Company in the manner and within the time prescribed by subsections 184(3) and 184(4) of the Tax Act.

Subject to the limitations set out elsewhere in this Article 8 and notwithstanding any investigations made, or knowledge acquired, by the Purchaser prior to Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify and save harmless the Sellers, their employees, officers, directors, trustees, shareholders, Affiliates, agents and other Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against all Losses suffered or incurred by a Seller Indemnified Party as a result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with:

(a) the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser contained in Article 5 of this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto; and

(b) any breach or non-performance by the Purchaser of any covenant in this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto.

8.4 Effect of Materiality Qualifiers

For purposes of the indemnity provisions in this Article 8, where a Claim pursuant to Sections 8.2(a) or 8.3(a) is predicated on an underlying representation and warranty that is qualified by a reference to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” (other than the representation and warranty contained in Section 4.23(a)), the underlying representation and warranty shall be read as if it did not contain such qualifier.

8.5 Monetary Limitation of Liability

(a) An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to require payment of any amount by the Indemnifying Party on the indemnities contained in Sections 8.2(a) or 8.3(a), as applicable (other than Fundamental Representations), until the aggregate of all such amounts for which the Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to require payment under such Sections exceeds $200,000 (the “Threshold Amount”). Once the Threshold Amount has been exceeded, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to require payment on such indemnities from the first dollar of Losses that exceeds the Threshold Amount.

(b) An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to require payment of amounts by the Indemnifying Party on the indemnities contained in Sections 8.2(a) or 8.3(a), as applicable (other than Fundamental Representations), or Section 8.2(g), in excess of $3,137,500 in the aggregate for all such indemnities, and further provided that the aggregate liability of a Seller for all such Claims will not exceed this Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of $3,137,500.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the limitations in Sections 8.5(a) and 8.5(b) shall not apply in the case of indemnity claims based on Fundamental Representations. An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to require payment of amounts by the Indemnifying Party on the indemnities contained in Sections 8.2(a) or 8.3(a), as applicable, based on any Fundamental Representations, in excess of the Purchase Price in the aggregate for all such indemnities, and further provided that the aggregate liability of a Seller for all such Claims will not exceed this Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Purchase Price.

- 66 -

(d) A Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to require payment of amounts by the Sellers on the indemnities contained in Sections 8.2(b) in excess of the Purchase Price in the aggregate for all such indemnities.

(e) A Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to require payment of amounts by the Sellers on the indemnities contained in Sections 8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(e) or 8.2(f) in excess of the Purchase Price in the aggregate for all such indemnities and further provided the aggregate liability of a Seller for all such Claims will not exceed this Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Purchase Price.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the limitations set forth in this Section 8.5 shall not apply to a Claim involving fraud or wilful breach of this Agreement on the part of the party against whom the Claim is made.

(g) The limitations in this Section 8.5(b), (c), (d) and (e) are expressly subject to the terms of Section 8.15.

8.6 Notice of Claim

(a) A party that may be entitled to make a claim for indemnification (a “Claim”) under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notification to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such Claim (a “Notice of Claim”) promptly upon becoming aware of the Claim. The Notice of Claim shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity, to the extent that the information is available, the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Claim.

(b) If an Indemnified Party fails to provide the Indemnifying Party with a Notice of Claim promptly as required by Section 8.6(a), the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of the obligation to pay damages to the extent it can show that it was prejudiced in its defence of the Claim or in proceeding against a third party who would have been liable to it by the fact of the delay, but the failure to provide such Notice of Claim promptly shall not otherwise release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Article 8.

(c) If the date by which a Notice of Claim must be given as set out in Section 8.7 in respect of a breach of representation and warranty has passed without any Notice of Claim having been given to the Indemnifying Party, then the related Claim shall be forever extinguished, notwithstanding that by the date specified in Section 8.7 the Indemnified Party did not know, and in the exercise of reasonable care could not have known, of the existence of the Claim.

8.7 Time Limits for Notice of Claim

(a) The Sellers shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.2 unless the Purchaser shall have provided to the Sellers’ Representatives a Notice of Claim within the following time limits, as applicable:

(i) with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations and the Company Fundamental Representations, no later than five (5) years after the Closing Date;

- 67 -

(ii) with respect to the Seller Tax Representations and a Claim under Sections 8.2(c) and 8.2(f), not later than the day that is 60 days after the expiration of the period, if any, during which an assessment, reassessment or other form of recognized written demand assessing liability for Tax, interest or penalties under applicable legislation in respect of any taxation year to which such representations and warranties relate could be issued to the Company under such legislation;

(iii) with respect to the Non-Fundamental Representations and a Claim under Section 8.2(g), not later than the 24 months after the Closing Date;

(iv) with respect to a Claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or Ancillary Agreement involving fraud, at any time after Closing; and

(v) with respect to a Claim under Sections 8.2(b), 8.2(d) and 8.2(e), at any time after the Closing Date.

(b) The Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless the Sellers pursuant to Section 8.3 unless the Sellers’ Representatives shall have provided to the Purchaser a Notice of Claim within the following time limits:

(i) With respect to the Purchaser Fundamental Representations, no later than five (5) years after the Closing Date;

(ii) With respect to all other representations and warranties provided by the Purchaser other than Purchaser Fundamental Representations, not later than 24 months after the Closing Date; and

(iii) With respect to a Claim under Section 8.3(b), at any time after the Closing Date.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or statute, the period within which an Indemnified Party may commence a proceeding in respect of a Claim for which a Notice of Claim is required to be, and has been, given in accordance with Section 8.7(a) or 8.7(b), shall be two years from the last date upon which such Notice of Claim is permitted to be delivered thereunder, and any applicable limitation period is hereby so extended to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

- 68 -

8.8 Direct Claims

With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 45-days to make such investigation of the Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such 45-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed-upon amount of the Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such 45-day period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have rejected the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party may pursue any remedies available to it.

8.9 Third Party Claims

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or, if it acknowledges its liability for the Third Party Claim, assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim for damages and if the Indemnifying Party assumes control, it shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of the Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred prior to the time the Indemnifying Party assumed control. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party (and will not constitute an indemnifiable Loss under this Article 8) unless in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party on the advice of its counsel, representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences).

(b) If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim.

(c) If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable Law to make a payment to any Person (a “Third Party”) with respect to the Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for such payment. If the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under such Third Party Claim, as finally determined, is less than the amount that was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after the receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference, together with any interest thereon paid by the Third Party to the Indemnified Party, to the Indemnifying Party. In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall post all security required by any court, regulatory body or other authority having jurisdiction, including for purposes of enabling the Indemnifying Party to contest any Third Party Claim.

- 69 -

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the negotiation, settlement or defence of the Third Party Claim (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) and shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the Claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Claim for indemnification relates to the Seller Tax Representations or is made under Section 8.2(c) or 8.2(f) (iii) the Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iv) the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by outside counsel that there exists an actual conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (v) the Claims relates to a Material Contract, Material Supplier or Material Customer. Moreover, the Indemnifying Party, if a Seller, will not settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim without the prior consent of the Purchaser Indemnified Party unless the settlement (A) includes a complete release of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties without payment of any amount by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and (B) does not include a finding or admission of wrongdoing on the part of any Purchaser Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defence under Section 8.9(d), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(e) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defence of any Third Party Claim or defaults in respect of any of its obligations under this Section 8.9 with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest the amount claimed and may settle and pay the same on 14 days’ prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall, thereupon, be deemed to have agreed that such settlement is reasonable and may be agreed to by the Indemnified Party and all other Persons liable in respect of the Third Party Claim unless within such 14-day period the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it is assuming or reassuming control of such defence and thereafter assumes or reassumes such control and does not default.

(f) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available). The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall make all reasonable efforts to make available to the party which is undertaking and controlling the defence of any Third Party Claim (for the purposes of this paragraph, the “Defending Party”), (i) those employees whose assistance, testimony or presence is necessary to assist the Defending Party in evaluating and in defending any Third Party Claim; and (ii) all documents, records and other materials in the possession of that Party reasonably required by the Defending Party for its use in defending any Third Party Claim, in each case subject to the Access Principles.

- 70 -

8.10 Reduction for Insurance Recovery

In calculating the amount of any Claim made by any Indemnified Party under this Article 8, the amount of any recovery, settlement or other proceeds received by such Indemnified Party under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, less any costs, expenses (including Taxes) or premiums incurred in connection therewith, shall be deducted from the amount of such Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no obligation to pursue recovery under any insurance coverage prior to pursuing a Claim as an Indemnified Party under this Article 8.

8.11 Indemnity Escrow Amount

(a) The Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement as a holdback to cover any claim for indemnification made by the Purchaser under this Article 8.

(b) On the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Escrow Release Date”), the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives will jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release to the Sellers’ Representatives (for further distribution to the Sellers) an amount equal to: $1,575,000, minus (i) the total of any amounts paid from the Indemnity Escrow Amount prior to the First Escrow Release Date and minus (ii) any Disputed Amount. On the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Second Escrow Release Date”) the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives will jointly direct the Escrow Agent to release to the Sellers’ Representatives (for further distribution to the Sellers) any remaining Indemnity Escrow Amount, minus any Disputed Amounts. If there has been a Claim that is made in good faith and delivered to the Sellers’ Representatives before the First Escrow Release Date or the Second Escrow Release Date, as applicable, and such Claim has not been finally resolved (by agreement between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, by binding, final and non-appealable determination, or by settlement), then that indemnity Claim will be a “Disputed Claim” and the amount of the indemnity Claim set out in that Indemnity Notice will be a “Disputed Amount”. The Disputed Amount shall be retained by the Escrow Agent pending resolution of such Claim and will then be disbursed to the party or parties found to be entitled to any portion thereof in accordance with such resolution, in accordance with a joint direction to that effect signed by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives (and Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representatives agree to sign such joint direction reflecting such resolution).

8.12 Adjustment to Purchase Price

Any payment made by any Seller pursuant to this Article 8 shall constitute a reduction in the Purchase Price, and any payment made by the Purchaser pursuant to this Article 8 shall constitute an increase in the Purchase Price. Despite Section 2.6, any decrease in the Purchase Price under this Article 8 will be allocated to the Seller making the payment, and any increase in the Purchase Price under this Article 8 will be allocated to the Seller receiving the payment (or to the Seller whose related Seller Indemnified Party is receiving the payment).

- 71 -

8.13 Exclusivity

From and after Closing, other than in the case of fraud, the indemnities provided in this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, respectively, against a party in respect of a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of that party under this Agreement. For certainty, the foregoing shall not prevent a party from commencing litigation to compel specific performance or obtain other equitable remedies. The provisions of this Section 8.13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

8.14 Duty to Mitigate

(a) Nothing in this Agreement in any way restricts or limits the general obligation at Law of an Indemnified Party to mitigate any loss which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by an Indemnifying Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.

(b) For any Claim made pursuant to Section 8.2(g), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all remedies reasonably available against third parties, including with respect to the landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease (in this Section, the “Environmental Remedies”) and such Claim shall be deemed a Disputed Amount while Purchaser attempts to recover from the landlord; provided, that in no event shall Environmental Remedies include the commencement of any litigation against Bedford Storage Limited Partnership. During the four (4) years following the Closing Date, in the event that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties actually receive any amount pursuant to their Environmental Remedies that relates to the subject matter of a Claim for which the Sellers have already indemnified the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall reimburse the Sellers for such indemnity amount they were paid by the Sellers, up to the amount actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pusuant to the Environmental Remedies, net of Taxes and enforcement costs.

8.15 Sellers’ Liability

(a) As long as the Indemnity Escrow Amount has not been exhausted or released in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall first seek monetary recovery from such Indemnity Escrow Amount with respect to any Claims made against Seller(s) under Article 8 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers shall be solidarily liable for the full amount of any such Claims.

(b) Once the Indemnity Escrow Amount is fully exhausted and subject to the monetary limitations of liability provided under Sections 8.5 and 8.15(c) :

(i) if the Purchaser Indemnified Parties seeks any monetary recovery for any Claim against a Seller (a) for the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Seller contained in Article 3 or in an Ancillary Agreement to which such Seller is a party, (b) for any breach or non-performance by such Seller of any of its covenants in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to which such Seller is a party, or (c) with respect to such Seller’s fraud such breaching Seller alone shall be severally (not solidarily) liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties cannot seek monetary recovery from any other Sellers in respect of such Claim; and

- 72 -

(ii) if the Purchaser Indemnified Parties seeks any monetary recovery for any Claim against the Sellers (A) for the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Sellers contained in Article 4 or (B) in respect of any Claim made under Sections 8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(e), 8.2(f) or 8.2(g), the Sellers shall be severally (and not solidarily) liable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

(c) Once the Indemnity Escrow Amount is fully exhausted, the indemnification obligations of each Seller with respect to any Claim will be limited, in respect of each Seller to the monetary limitation of liability provided under Section 8.5(b) 8.5(c), 8.5(d) or 8.5(e), as applicable. For greater clarity, the determination of whether such monetary limitation of liability has been met shall take into account any indemnity amount recovered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from the Indemnity Escrow Amount and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have no further recourse against the Sellers if the applicable monetary limitation of liability has been met or exceeded.

8.16 No Double Recovery.

No Indemnified Party is entitled to double recovery for any indemnity Claim even though the indemnity Claim may have resulted from the breach or inaccuracy of more than one of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. No Indemnifying Party has any liability or obligation for indemnification under this Article 8 to the extent that the relevant Loss has been taken into account in the determination of the final Closing Working Capital and the related adjustments to the Purchase Price have been paid.
