3.6. Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Post-Closing Statement. ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall prepare and deliver to Trican U.S., a written statement setting forth the information required by the following sentence (the “Post-Closing Statement”) within 90 days after the Closing Date. The Post-Closing Statement shall set forth, as of the Closing, (i) ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s determination of the Net Working Capital Estimate (the “Buyer’s Net Working Capital Estimate”); (ii) a calculation, in reasonable detail, showing how the Buyer’s Net Working Capital Estimate was calculated; (iii) ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s determination of the Working Capital Basket Estimate (“Buyer’s Estimate of Working Capital Basket”); (iv) a calculation, in reasonable detail, showing how the Buyer’s Estimate of Working Capital Basket was calculated and (v) the Final Cash Purchase Price, if calculated based on the Buyer’s Net Working Capital Estimate and taking into account the Buyer’s Estimate of Working Capital Basket (the “Buyer-Calculated Cash Purchase Price”). The Post-Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and to the extent in accordance with GAAP, in a manner consistent with the Net Working Capital Calculation.

(b) Determination of Final Net Working Capital. Within 30 days following ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s delivery of the Post-Closing Statement, Trican U.S. may deliver a written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent (an “Objection Notice”), (i) indicating that Trican U.S. disputes the Buyer’s Net Working Capital Estimate or the Buyer’s Estimate of Working Capital Basket and (ii) specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items and the basis therefor. The Objection Notice shall be prepared in a manner consistent with GAAP and to the extent consistent with GAAP, the Net Working Capital Calculation. If Trican U.S. does not deliver an Objection Notice within such 30-day period, then the Buyer’s Net Working Capital Estimate and the Buyer’s Estimate of Working Capital Basket shall be deemed to be the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Working Capital Basket, as applicable. If Trican U.S. delivers an Objection Notice within such 30-day period, then Trican U.S. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is resolved in writing by Trican U.S. and

▇▇▇▇▇ Parent within 30 days following receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent of the Objection Notice, then the Buyer’s Net Working Capital Estimate, as adjusted to reflect the results of such resolution, shall be deemed to be the Final Net Working Capital. If such dispute is not resolved in writing by Trican U.S. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent within such 30-day period, then Trican U.S. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent jointly shall engage the Accounting Firm, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, to resolve only such remaining disputed amounts. The Accounting Firm shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties as indicated in the Objection Notice. As promptly as practicable thereafter, and in no event later than 30 days thereafter, Trican U.S. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall (i) each prepare and submit a presentation to the Accounting Firm detailing each Party’s complete statement of proposed resolution of the dispute and (ii) instruct the Accounting Firm, acting as an expert and not an arbitrator attempting to reach an acceptable compromise, to render a decision resolving the matters in dispute, in accordance with GAAP and the applicable terms hereof, including the Net Working Capital Calculation, within ten days of the submission of such matters to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest value for such item assigned to it by Trican U.S., on the one hand, or ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned to it by Trican U.S., on the one hand, or ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm shall apply GAAP to the specific items in dispute, and shall have no authority or power to alter, modify, amend, add to or subtract from any term or provision of GAAP or the terms of this Agreement. None of the Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall have any ex parte communications or meetings with the Accounting Firm regarding the matters in dispute without the other Party’s or Parties’ prior written consent, and any written communications with the Accounting Firm by any Party shall be contemporaneously delivered to the other Party. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Buyer’s Net Working Capital Estimate and the Buyer’s Estimate of Working Capital Basket, each as modified by the determinations of the Accounting Firm, shall be deemed to be the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Working Capital Basket, as applicable. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted to the Accounting Firm that are unsuccessfully disputed by Trican U.S., on the one hand, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, on the other hand, as finally determined by the Accounting Firm, bears to the total dollar amount of such remaining disputed items so submitted. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties (absent fraud). By way of example only, if closing accounts receivable is the only disputed item submitted to the Accounting Firm, and Trican U.S. claims that closing accounts receivable is $1,000, and Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Trican U.S., and if the Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Trican U.S. $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Trican U.S. The Net Working Capital as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.6(b) is referred to herein as the “Final Net Working Capital” and the Working Capital Basket as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.6(b) is referred to herein as the “Final Working Capital Basket”.

(c) Access. For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 3.6(c), the Seller Companies and Trican Parent, on the one hand, and the Buyer Companies, on the other hand, shall cooperate with and make available to the other Party or Parties, as applicable, and their respective Representatives all information, records and data, and

shall permit access to its personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis or review of the Post-Closing Statement, the Objection Notice and the Parties’ attempt at a resolution (in any case, subject to the execution of customary access letters, if requested, with respect to the work product of a Party’s independent accountant); provided that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of the Seller Companies, the Business or the Buyer Companies.

(d) Purchase Price Adjustment. Within five Business Days after the final determination of Final Net Working Capital and the Final Working Capital Basket, each pursuant to this Section 3.6, (i) if the Final Cash Purchase Price exceeds the Closing Cash Purchase Price, then ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall, or shall cause Buyer to, pay to Trican U.S. such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Trican U.S. for such purpose, and (ii) subject to Section 3.8, if the Closing Cash Purchase Price exceeds the Final Cash Purchase Price, then Trican U.S. shall pay to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent for such purpose. The “Final Cash Purchase Price” shall mean the aggregate amount equal to (A) the Initial Cash Purchase Price either plus (B) the amount (if any) by which the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Reference Net Working Capital or minus (B) the amount (if any) by which the Reference Net Working Capital is greater than the sum of the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Working Capital Basket.

3.7. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Within 30 Business Days of the determination of the Final Net Working Capital in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.6(b), Buyer shall provide to Trican Parent an allocation of the Final Cash Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets (the “Allocation”). The Allocation shall be prepared by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Trican Parent shall be entitled to review and comment on such schedule for 30 Business Days, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall consider such comments in good faith. Thereafter, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall provide to Trican Parent ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s final allocation schedule.

(b) Each of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies, on the one hand, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and the Buyer, on the other hand, shall (i) be bound by the Allocation for purposes of determining Taxes and (ii) prepare and file, and cause its Affiliates to prepare and file, its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation. Neither Trican Parent, the Seller Companies, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, nor the Buyer shall take any position inconsistent with the Allocation in any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation, or otherwise unless required by a final determination by an applicable taxing authority.

3.8. Reduction to ▇▇▇▇▇ Common Equity Units. If Trican Parent or the Seller Companies fail to pay, or cause to be paid, as applicable, any amounts owed to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer pursuant to Sections 3.6(d)(ii), 6.16 or 9, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent may deliver a notice in accordance with Section 10.6 to Trican Parent to that effect. If Trican Parent or the Seller Companies fail to pay, or cause to be paid, as applicable, any such amounts within 10 days from the date of receipt of such notice, or 30 days from the date of final resolution or determination of a dispute between ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer, on the one hand, and Trican Parent or the Seller Companies, on the other

hand, in respect of such amounts, whichever is later (the “Final Payment Date”), then Trican U.S.’s ▇▇▇▇▇ Common Equity Units will immediately and automatically be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis based on the Implied Default Valuation equal to such amounts paid by, or due to, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer; provided that at least 10 days prior to the Final Payment Date, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent will provide a written notice to Trican Parent and Trican U.S. setting forth the calculation of any such adjustment and the number of ▇▇▇▇▇ Common Equity Units owned by Trican U.S. (and the fully diluted percentage ownership thereof) after taking into account any adjustment in accordance with this Section 3.8.

3.9. Tax Treatment of Consideration. The Parties intend, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, that the transactions described in Section 2.1 be treated as follows: (i) in part as if Trican U.S. contributed an undivided interest in the Purchased Assets to Buyer in exchange for the ▇▇▇▇▇ Common Equity Units in a transaction consistent with the requirements of Section 721(a) of the Code, to the extent applicable, and (ii) in part as if Trican U.S. received a distribution from Buyer of the Final Cash Purchase Price as a disguised sale of an undivided interest in the Purchased Assets subject to treatment under Section 707(a) of the Code and its implementing Treasury Regulations. The Parties shall not take a position that is inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.9 in any Tax Return, or otherwise in respect of any Tax matter, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

6.14. Employee Matters.

(a) Immediately following execution of this Agreement, Trican Parent and Seller Companies shall, subject to the restrictions in Section 6.3, provide Buyer Companies access to the Business Employees for the purposes of discussing employment with Buyer or one of its Affiliates.

Buyer shall designate in writing the Business Employees to whom

For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Obligations shall not include any obligations to pay severance to any Business Employee who was offered, but did not accept, employment by Buyer or one of its Affiliates, which obligations shall be the sole obligation of Trican Parent or the Seller Companies.

(b) Effective on and after the Closing, the Seller Companies shall (i) continue to offer COBRA continuation coverage to any M&A Qualified Beneficiaries who are not Transferred Employees (or their beneficiaries) so long as the Seller Companies or their ERISA Affiliates maintain one or more group health plans; and (ii) retain, and hold Buyer Companies and their Affiliates harmless for, all Liability and obligations for (A) any Termination Obligations in excess of the Termination Cap, (B) M&A Qualified Beneficiaries who are neither Transferred Employees nor Excluded Employees (and their beneficiaries), and (C) any Liability for severance benefits to any Business Employees who as of Closing are neither Transferred Employees nor Excluded Employees (collectively, the “Seller Termination Obligations”).

Trican Parent shall, or shall cause the Seller Companies to, promptly pay

to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent all moneys collected by or paid to the Seller Companies in respect of every such Delayed Transfer Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate or be construed to obligate ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or the Buyer to make, or to cause any of its Affiliates to make, any payment to any Person (it being understood and agreed that the Seller Companies shall be permitted, but not obligated, to make such payments on the Buyer ‘s behalf) or to consent to any material amendment, extension or modification of any Delayed Transfer Asset in order to obtain such Consent or to transfer any Delayed Transfer Asset in violation of its terms.

6.20. Waste. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Companies shall dispose of (a) all Hazardous Materials associated with the Business that meet the definition of a waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. § 6901, et seq., or analogous state law, and (b) all waste materials, that, in either case of (a) or (b), as of the Closing Date, would be present for 60 days or more at any of the Owned Business Real Property or Leased Business Property or at any other property at which the Business operates, including without limitation customer sites. Such disposal shall comply in all material respects with all Environmental Laws, including without limitation all waste characterization, notice and manifest requirements.

6.21. Tax Matters.

(a) To the extent any Transfer Taxes are incurred, regardless of the Person, in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, Trican Parent and the Seller Companies will assume responsibility for 50% of those Transfer Taxes up to an aggregate Transfer Taxes amount of $1,500,000 (which, for clarity, would result in Trican Parent and the Seller Companies assuming responsibility for $750,000 of such Transfer Taxes), and any and all Transfer Taxes in excess of such amount will be borne exclusively by the Buyer Companies. The Parties shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns regarding any Transfer Taxes that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes relating to the Purchased Assets. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon another Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are relevant to any such Tax Return or audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided under this Agreement. Trican Parent and the Seller Companies agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Purchased Assets relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority.

6.22. Misdirected Customer Payments. During the first six months following Closing, Trican Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, screen their respective lockbox accounts and customer remittances weekly to determine whether Trican Parent or any Seller Company has received any payment that should have been directed or delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer. Trican Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, remit to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, with reasonable promptness, and no later than five Business Days after receipt thereof, any monies or

other assets received by the Seller Companies, Trican Parent or any of their Affiliates constituting a Purchased Asset or which accrued to the Business after the Closing. If any Person determines that funds previously paid or credited to Trican Parent, the Seller Companies or any of their Affiliates in respect of services rendered prior to the Closing Date have resulted in an overpayment or must be repaid, then Trican Parent shall be responsible for the repayment of such monies (and the defense of such actions). If the Buyer Companies suffer any deduction to or offset against amounts due to them of funds previously paid or credited to any of the Seller Companies in respect of the services rendered prior to the Closing Date, then unless such amounts were accounted for in the calculation of Final Net Working Capital, Trican Parent shall immediately pay to the Buyer Companies the amounts so billed or offset upon written demand.

6.23. Power of Attorney. Effective as of the Closing, each of the Seller Companies hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Buyer as their agent, and authorizes and empowers Buyer (or any of the Buyer Companies designated thereby) to fulfill the role of each Seller Company hereunder, and each Seller Company appoints Buyer (and any of the Buyer Companies designated thereby) as such Seller Company’s true and lawful attorney in fact and agent, for such Seller Company for the sole and exclusive purpose of executing any transfers, conveyances or other documents reasonably necessary in order to effect the transfer and conveyance of the Purchased Assets to Buyer following Closing, provided for certainty that neither Buyer nor any of the Buyer Companies designated thereby will take any actions in such capacity that could result in Trican Parent or any of the Seller Companies becoming liable for or assuming any actual or contingent obligation or Liability in addition to those expressly contemplated by this Agreement. The dissolution, liquidation, insolvency or bankruptcy of Trican Parent or any of the Seller Companies shall not terminate the authority and agency of Buyer (or any of the Buyer Companies designated thereby) as each Seller Company’s representative pursuant to this Section 6.23. The power of attorney granted in this Section 6.23 is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

6.24. Alternate Financing. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitments, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent will use its reasonable efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms no less favorable in the aggregate to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent (as determined in the reasonable judgment of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. To the extent ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent obtains alternative financing pursuant to this Section 6.24, references to the “Debt Financing”, the “Financing”, the “Debt Financing Commitment” and the “Financing Commitments” (and other like terms in this Agreement) will be deemed to refer to such alternative financing.

6.25. Commencement of Litigation. If ▇▇▇▇ Bank fails to provide its portion of the Debt Financing at Closing in accordance with the Term Debt Commitment and (a) ▇▇▇▇ Bank’s conditions to its obligations in the Term Debt Commitment are satisfied or waived, (b) the conditions to the obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and the Buyer under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 are satisfied or waived and (c) as a result of ▇▇▇▇ Bank’s failure to provide such Debt Financing, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent is obligated to pay Trican Parent the Tier One Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.4, then ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent will, or will cause its appropriate Subsidiary to, promptly commence, and diligently pursue, an Action against ▇▇▇▇ Bank to obtain the maximum amount of damages from ▇▇▇▇ Bank available under Law, but subject in all respects to the limitations set forth in the Term

Debt Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or any of its Subsidiaries be obligated to commence an Action for specific performance of the Term Debt Commitment or to seek damages in excess of $20,000,000 from ▇▇▇▇ Bank.

6.26. Transitional Trademark License.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.26(b), after the Closing, Buyer shall not use or otherwise exploit any name in the Business incorporating “TRICAN” or any derivation thereof that would reasonably be expected to be confused therewith (the “Trican Marks”).

(b) As promptly as practicable but in no event later than 12 months following the Closing (“Phaseout Period”), the Buyer shall remove or otherwise obliterate the Trican Marks from all materials owned by the Buyer or its Affiliates associated with the Business, including any buildings, vehicles, equipment, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, advertising, manuals, forms, computer software and other materials or fixed assets; provided that the Buyer (i) shall not be obligated to remove or otherwise obliterate the Trican Marks: (A) prior to the end of the applicable Phaseout Period, (B) with respect to displays of the Trican Marks on equipment (but not buildings, vehicles, signs and storage tanks) that is not reasonably likely to be seen by the public or cannot be seen by the public without unlawful entry on the applicable location of such equipment and if it is commercially unreasonable to remove or otherwise obliterate, or (C) from all books and records (but not stationery, promotional materials and advertising) and all archived materials, technical drawings, invoices and manuals; (ii) shall have the right and license to sell existing products and to use existing packaging, labeling, containers, supplies, advertising materials, technical data sheets and any similar materials bearing the Trican Marks until the earlier of (A) the expiration of the Phaseout Period, and (B) the date existing stocks are exhausted; and (iii) shall have the right and license to use the Trican Marks in connection with the transition of email services (x) of the Business until six months after the Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Trican Parent grants Buyer a limited royalty-free, non-exclusive, personal license to use the Trican Marks solely in the Territory during the Phaseout Period in the operation of the Business, including to offer for sale goods and services sold by Trican Parent and its Affiliates prior to the Closing Date in the Territory. The foregoing trademark license is granted on the condition that the goods and services sold under the Trican Marks shall be in accordance with the standards and quality of the goods and services offered by Trican Parent and its Affiliates under the Trican Marks in the Territory prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall adhere to any reasonable quality control standards that Trican Parent may promulgate and provide Buyer notice of during the Phaseout Period. Such license rights are personal to Buyer and not transferable other than to Buyer’s Subsidiaries without the express consent of Trican Parent, which Trican Parent may withhold in its sole discretion. Buyer shall not claim any title or any proprietary right to the Trican Marks by virtue of the licenses granted above to Buyer. All use of the Trican Marks under the licenses in this Section shall inure solely to the benefit of Trican Parent.

6.27. Reimbursement of Certain Expenses. If the Closing occurs, at Closing, or if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8 (absent a willful or intentional breach by Trican Parent or the Seller Companies), then within five days from such termination, ▇▇▇▇▇

Parent shall reimburse, or cause to be reimbursed, Trican Parent for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, not to exceed $150,000, incurred in connection with the Transaction.

SECTION 7. CLOSING CONDITIONS AND DELIVERIES

7.1. Conditions to Trican Parent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s Obligation to Effect the Closing. The respective obligations of each of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer to effect the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction at or prior to the Closing Date of each of the following conditions (any of which may be waived by the mutual agreement of Trican Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, in whole or in part):

(a) no Action, Order or Law by or before any Governmental Authority or investigation by any Governmental Authority shall have been enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced, instituted or be pending or threatened that would be reasonably likely to enjoin, restrain or prohibit this Agreement or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise limit in any material respect the right of Buyer to own or exercise rights in respect of Business after the Closing; provided that Trican Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Action or Order to be vacated or lifted; and

(b) (i) the applicable waiting period, together with any extensions thereof, under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated and (ii) all consents, waivers, authorizations and approvals required to be obtained from, and all filings or notices required to be made with, any Governmental Authority necessary under any applicable Law for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall have been obtained or made.

7.2. Conditions to Obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer to Effect the Closing. The obligation of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction on or prior to the Closing Date of each of the following conditions (any of which may be waived by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, in whole or in part):

(a) subject to Section 6.18, all of the representations and warranties (other than the Fundamental Representations) of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies set forth in this Agreement shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made, all of the representations and warranties (other than the Fundamental Representations) of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, as though made on and as of the Closing Date (in either case, without giving effect to any statement of materiality or a “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier) except, in each case, that those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date shall remain true and correct in all material respects as of such date. The Fundamental Representations shall be true and correct in all respects upon execution of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of this Section 7.2(a), the conditions set forth above that (i) all of the representations and warranties (other than the Fundamental Representations) of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies set

forth in this Agreement be true and correct in all material respects when made, (ii) all of the representations and warranties (other than the Fundamental Representations) of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies set forth in this Agreement be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, as though made on and as of the Closing Date (in either case, without giving effect to any statement of materiality or a “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier) except, in each case, that those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date shall remain true and correct in all material respects as of such date, and (iii) the Fundamental Representations be true and correct in all respects upon execution of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date, will in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, not be considered to have not been satisfied to the extent that if, after Closing, any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties had sought indemnification for such failure pursuant to Section 9.2(a), the indemnification for Losses payable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties as a direct result of that failure would not be reasonably likely to exceed the Basket as reduced (but not below $0) on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the aggregate amount of the reasonably expected Losses (without taking into account the Deductible and the Cap for the calculation of such Losses) incurred, or to be incurred, by the Buyer Companies as a result of any additions, supplements or amendments to the Seller Disclosure Schedules pursuant to Section 6.18. Furthermore, and without limiting the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of this Section 7.2(a), any failure of the representation and warranty of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies in Section 4.4(a) to be true and correct in all respects upon execution of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date will be deemed not to be a failure to so satisfy such condition to the extent that, prior to Closing, Trican Parent and the Seller Companies remedy such failure either by replacing the applicable Purchased Asset to which the applicable Seller Company does not have good, valid and marketable title, subject to Permitted Encumbrances, with an asset of same type and condition and of the same value, or by otherwise remedying the title issue so as to cause compliance with the representation and warranty in Section 4.4(a).

(b) Trican Parent and the Seller Companies shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and shall have complied in all material respects with all covenants required to be performed or complied with on or prior to the Closing by it or them under this Agreement;

(c) since the date hereof, there shall has been no change, event or occurrence that has had or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Seller Material Adverse Effect;

(d) ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall have received to its reasonable satisfaction, the deliveries required under Section 3.4;

(e) each of the Lender Consents is in full force and effect and the release of all collateral constituting Purchased Assets has occurred or will occur concurrently with Closing; and

(f) ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall have received (i) from Trican Parent and each of the Seller Companies a certificate executed by an officer of Trican Parent and each of the Seller Companies, in their capacity as an officer, to the effect that the statements set forth in Sections 7.2(a) through 7.2(c) above with respect to Trican Parent and such Seller Companies are true and correct;

7.3. Conditions to Obligations of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies. The obligations of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction on or prior to the Closing Date of each of the following conditions (any of which may be waived by Trican Parent, in whole or in part):

(a) all of the representations and warranties of the Buyer Companies (other than the Fundamental Representations) set forth in this Agreement shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made, and shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, as though made on and as of the Closing Date (in either case, without giving effect to any statement of materiality or a “Material Adverse Effect” qualifier) except, in each case, that those representations and warranties that address matters only as of a particular date shall remain true and correct in all material respects as of such date. The Fundamental Representations shall be true and correct in all respects upon execution of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, as though made on and as of the Closing Date;

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and shall have complied in all material respects with all covenants required to be performed or complied with on or prior to the Closing by the Buyer Companies under this Agreement;

(c) since the date hereof, there shall has been no change, event or occurrence that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Buyer Material Adverse Effect;

(d) Trican Parent shall have received to its reasonable satisfaction, the deliveries required under Section 3.5; and

(e) Trican Parent shall have received (i) from ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer a certificate executed by an officer of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer, in their capacities as officers, to the effect that the statements set forth in Sections 7.3(a) and (b) with respect to the Buyer Companies are true and correct.

7.4. Frustration of Closing Conditions. None of the Parties hereto may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Section 7 to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act or to use its commercially reasonable efforts (or such efforts as required pursuant to Section 6.10) to cause the Closing to occur.

SECTION 8. TERMINATION

8.1. Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the unanimous written consent of Trican Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent;

(b) by any Party hereto if any Governmental Authority shall have issued a non-appealable Order or enacted, promulgated or instituted any Law that permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent if there has been a misrepresentation that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.2(a) not to be satisfied or there has been a material breach of any obligation or covenant by Trican Parent or the Seller Companies that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.2(b), 7.2(d) or 7.2(e) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, Trican Parent and the Seller Companies shall have until the second Business Day prior to the Outside Date to cure such breach (including by curing a misrepresentation made as of the date hereof such that it ceases to be the subject of a misrepresentation that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.2(a) not to be satisfied if such representation or warranty were to be given on the cure date) before ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent may so terminate this Agreement; provided further, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if there has been a misrepresentation that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.3(a) not to be satisfied or there has been a material breach of any obligation or covenant by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or the Buyer that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.3(b), 7.3(d) or 7.3(e) not to be satisfied;

(d) by Trican Parent if (i) there has been a misrepresentation that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.3(a) not to be satisfied or (ii) there has been a material breach of any obligation or covenant by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or the Buyer that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.3(b), 7.3(d) or 7.3(e) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that, if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and the Buyer shall have until the second Business Day prior to the Outside Date to cure such breach (including by curing a misrepresentation made as of the date hereof such that it ceases to be the subject of a misrepresentation that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.3(a) not to be satisfied if such representation or warranty were to be given on the cure date) before Trican Parent may so terminate this Agreement; provided further, however, that Trican Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if there has been a misrepresentation that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.2(a) not to be satisfied or there has been a material breach of any obligation or covenant by Trican Parent or the Seller Companies that would result in the condition to closing set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2(b), 7.2(d) or 7.2(e) not to be satisfied;

(e) by any Party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date; provided that no Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if such Party’s or its Affiliate’s failure to fulfill any of its or their respective obligations under this Agreement, or the failure of such Party’s representations and warranties provided for in this Agreement to be true and correct the extent required pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 as a condition of Closing, as applicable, shall have been the proximate cause of the Closing not to have occurred on or before said date; or

(f) by Trican Parent (i) if each of the conditions to the obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been satisfied or waived (except for

conditions that would be by their nature be satisfied upon consummation of the Transaction), and (ii) if Trican Parent has delivered an irrevocable written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent stating that, if the conditions to the obligations of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 have been satisfied or waived (except for conditions that would be by their nature be satisfied upon consummation of the Transaction) and the Equity Financing Commitment and the Debt Financing Commitment are funded, Closing will occur, and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer fail to consummate the Transaction within three Business Days following the date of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s receipt of such notice solely because the Term Debt Commitment (or an alternative financing in accordance with Section 6.24) has not been, or is not reasonably likely to be, made available to Buyer and its applicable Affiliates in accordance with the Term Debt Commitment (or any analogous commitment in connection with an alternative financing described in Section 6.24) in circumstances where the proximate cause of such Term Debt Commitment (or if applicable, any analogous commitment in connection with an alternative financing described in Section 6.24) not being made available is not due to the failure of the Equity Financing to be made available in accordance with the terms of the Equity Financing Commitment.

8.2. Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement by any Party hereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party or Parties specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination of this Agreement is made, and this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, except for the provisions of (a) Section 6.3 relating to certain confidentiality obligations, (b) Section 6.13 relating to publicity, (c) this Section 8, (d) Section 6.25, but only in the event that the Tier One Termination Fee is payable to Trican Parent and (e) Section 10. In such instance, each Party hereto shall return or destroy all documents and other materials received from the other Parties hereto relating to this Agreement, and all confidential information received by each Party hereto with respect to any other Party shall be treated in accordance with the terms of Section 6.3. If this Agreement is terminated as permitted by this Section 8 such termination shall be without liability of any party (or any of its Affiliates, Representatives or Representatives of its Affiliates) to any other party to this Agreement; except as set forth in Section 8.3 and Section 8.4 below.

8.3. Expense Reimbursement/ Losses of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to (a) Section 8.1(c) absent a willful or intentional breach by Trican Parent or the Seller Companies, Trican Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer, as the sole and exclusive remedy of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer in respect of such termination, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, all reasonable out-of-pocket fees (including legal fees) and expenses (the “Fees and Expenses”), incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and enforcing this Section 8.3 or (b) Section 8.1(c) as a result of a willful or intentional breach by Trican Parent or the Seller Companies, Trican Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, the Fees and Expenses and any other damages to which ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer may be entitled at law or in equity as a result of such willful or intentional breach.

8.4. Termination Fee. In the event that Trican Parent is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to (a) Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(d) absent a willful or intentional breach

by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer that is the proximate cause of the Transaction not being consummated or not being able to be consummated, then in either case ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller Companies by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Trican Parent, a termination fee of $20,000,000 (the “Tier One Termination Fee”), or (b) Section 8.1(d), but solely as a result of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s or Buyer’s willful or intentional breach that is the proximate cause of the Transaction not being consummated or not being able to be consummated or in the event ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer otherwise fails to consummate the Transaction after satisfaction or waiver of each condition to the obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (except for conditions that would by their nature be satisfied upon the consummation of the Transaction) and in the event the Transaction was consummated and the Equity Financing was made available in accordance with the terms set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, the debt financing contemplated by the Term Debt Commitment (or any analogous commitment in connection with any alternative financing described in Section 6.24) would be made available to Buyer in accordance with the Term Debt Commitment (or such alternative commitment), then in each of the foregoing cases ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller Companies, a termination fee of $55,000,000 (the “Tier Two Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Trican Parent no later than two Business Days after the date of such termination. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will both the Tier One Termination Fee and the Tier Two Termination Fee be payable and no Buyer Company will be required to pay the Tier One Termination Fee or the Tier Two Termination Fee on more than one occasion. If Trican Parent is entitled to terminate this Agreement in circumstances where both the Tier One Termination Fee and the Tier Two Termination Fee would be payable, only the Tier Two Termination Fee will be payable by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent to the Seller Companies. The Parties have agreed in light of the circumstances existing at the time of execution of this Agreement (including the inability of the Parties to quantify the damages that may be suffered by Trican Parent and the Seller Companies) that this Section 8.4 is reasonable, that the Tier One Termination Fee or the Tier Two Termination Fee, as applicable, represents a good faith, fair estimate of the damages that Trican Parent and the Seller Companies would suffer in the applicable circumstances and that, if payable, the Tier One Termination Fee or the Tier Two Termination Fee, as applicable, shall be payable as liquidated damages (and not as a penalty) without requiring Trican Parent or the Seller Companies to prove actual damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer fails to effect the Closing for any reason or no reason or a breach of its obligations hereunder (whether willfully, intentionally, knowingly or otherwise) or fails to perform hereunder (whether willfully, intentionally, knowingly or otherwise), then the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of the Seller Companies or Trican Parent against ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or the Buyer and each of their former, current or future equity holders, controlling Persons, managers, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, Affiliates, Representatives or assignees and any and all former, current or future heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing, (each, a “Buyer Related Party,” and collectively, the “Buyer Related Parties”) in respect of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or agreement executed in connection herewith (including the Financing Commitments) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this

Section 8 and collect hereunder the Tier One Termination Fee or the Tier Two Termination Fee, as applicable; and upon payment of such amount, and subject to performance by the applicable Buyer Related Parties of their respective surviving obligations as set forth in Section 8.2, no Buyer Related Party shall have any other Liability or obligation for any or all Losses or damages suffered or incurred by Trican Parent and the Seller Companies in connection with this Agreement (including with respect to the Financing Commitments or the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and neither Trican Parent or the Seller Companies nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, partners, Affiliates or Representatives shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, Action or proceeding against any Buyer Company or any other Buyer Related Party arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Trican Parent and the Seller Companies agree that the maximum aggregate liability, in the aggregate, of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer under this Agreement, except in respect of the performance by the applicable Buyer Related Parties of their respective surviving obligations as set forth in Section 8.2, shall be limited to an amount equal to the Tier One Termination Fee in the event Trican Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(d), in each case, absent a willful or intentional breach by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer that is the proximate cause of the Transaction not being consummated or not being able to be consummated or the Tier Two Termination Fee if Trican Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d), but solely as a result of (1) ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s or Buyer’s willful or intentional breach that is the proximate cause of the Transaction not being consummated or not being able to be consummated, or (2) in the event ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer otherwise fails to consummate the Transaction after satisfaction or waiver of each condition to the obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 (except for conditions that would by their nature be satisfied upon the consummation of the Transaction) and in the event the Transaction was consummated, the debt financing contemplated by the Term Debt Commitment (or any analogous commitment in connection with any alternative financing described in Section 6.24) would be made available to Buyer in accordance with the Term Debt Commitment (or such analogous commitment) absent a failure of the Equity Financing to be made available in accordance with the terms of the Equity Financing Commitment, and in no circumstances shall Trican Parent or the Seller Companies seek any money damages in excess of such amount. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent is obligated to bring an Action against ▇▇▇▇ Bank pursuant to Section 6.25, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, after receipt, any recovery (net of ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ reasonable legal costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Action) against ▇▇▇▇ Bank as a result of the Action described in Section 6.25.

9.1. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies in Section 4 hereof (including, without limitation, pursuant to any closing certificate) shall expire and terminate and be of no further force and effect to the extent provided as follows: (each such date, an “Expiration Date”) (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing indefinitely; (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.17 (Employee Benefit Programs) and 4.25 (Tax Matters)

Any written claim for indemnification for breach of representations and warranties of Trican Parent or the Seller Companies contained in Section 4 hereof (including, without limitation, pursuant to any closing certificate) made prior to the applicable Expiration Date and delivered to Trican Parent shall survive thereafter and, as to any such claim, such applicable expiration will not affect the rights to indemnification of the party making such claim. Any written claim by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent with respect to fraud by Trican Parent or the Seller Companies may be given at any time. Any written claim by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent with respect to a breach, whether prior to, on or after the Closing, of any covenant or other agreement made by Trican Parent or the Seller Companies in this Agreement may be given at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period.

Any written claim for indemnification for breach of representations and warranties of the Buyer Companies contained in Section 5 hereof (including, without limitation, pursuant to any closing certificate) made prior to the applicable Buyer Expiration Date and delivered to Trican Parent shall survive thereafter and, as to any such claim, such applicable expiration will not affect the rights to indemnification of the party making such claim. Any written claim by Trican Parent with respect to fraud by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or the Buyer may be given at any time. Any written claim by Trican Parent with respect to a breach, whether prior to, on or after the Closing, of any covenant or other agreement made by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent or Buyer in this Agreement may be given at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period.

9.2. Indemnification by Trican Parent. Subject to Sections 9.1, 9.4, 9.5 and 10.1, from and after the Closing, Trican Parent shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the Buyer Companies, their Subsidiaries, and each of its and theirs respective officers, managers, agents, successors and assigns (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against and in respect of any and all losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), fines, penalties, disbursements and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Losses”) which any Buyer Indemnified Party may actually suffer or incur to the extent arising out of or related to:

(b) any breach or nonperformance of any covenant or other agreement made by Trican Parent or any of the Seller Companies in this Agreement;

(e) Seller Termination Obligations;

(f) the Excluded Liabilities;

(g) Transfer Taxes allocated to Trican Parent and the Seller Companies under Section 6.21(a);

9.3. Indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent. Subject to Sections 9.1, 9.4, 9.5 and 10.1, from and after the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Trican Parent, its Affiliates, and each of its and theirs respective officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (each, a “Seller Indemnified Party”) from and against and in respect of any and all Losses which any Seller Indemnified Party may actually suffer or incur to the extent arising out of or related to:

(a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer Companies in Section 5 of this Agreement (disregarding for this purposes any materiality, “material adverse effect” or “Buyer Material Adverse Effect” qualification or exception otherwise contained in any such representations and warranties);

(d) Transfer Taxes allocated to the Buyer Companies under Section 6.21(a); and

(e) the Assumed Liabilities.

9.4. Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Mini Basket. Neither Trican Parent nor ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent will have any liability under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as applicable, unless the aggregate amount of the Losses that will be payable with respect to any claim (or series of related claims) exceeds an amount equal to $25,000 (the “Mini-Basket”), it being understood that any such individual claim (or series of related claims) for amounts less than the Mini-Basket shall be ignored for all purposes of this Agreement, including determining whether the Deductible has been met or exceeded; provided, however, that the Mini-Basket will not apply to claims based on fraud.

(b) Deductible. Neither Trican Parent nor ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent will have any liability under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as applicable until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable arising out of or related to such breaches of or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 or Section 5, as applicable, exceed $1,000,000, and Trican Parent or ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, as applicable, will only be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, respectively, for those Losses in excess of $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”).

(c) Cap. Trican Parent’s and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent’s respective aggregate maximum liability under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as applicable (as determined after giving effect to the limitations resulting from the Deductible) will not exceed $3,000,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that the Cap will not apply to claims based on fraud.

9.5. R&W Insurance Policies. From and after the Closing, the R&W Insurance Policies shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any and all Losses exceeding the Cap that are sustained or incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties by reason of, resulting from or arising out of any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the Trican Parent’s, the Seller Companies’ or Buyer Companies’, as applicable, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement (other than the Fundamental Representations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any rights of any issuer of the R&W Insurance Policies, including any rights of subrogation, do not affect, expand or increase any liability or obligation of any Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

9.6. Procedure.

(a) Third Party Claims. All claims for indemnification relating to third party claims shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 9.6. In the event that any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event more than 30 days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim and demand) (the “Claim Notice”). Assuming compliance with the limitation on the control of litigation (“Defense Control Condition”) set forth in Section 6.16,

the Indemnified Party shall not be foreclosed by any failure to provide timely notice of the existence of a third party claim or demand to the Indemnifying Party except to the extent (and only to the extent) such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to contest such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the delivery or receipt of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party (a) whether or not the Indemnifying Party disputes the liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to such claim or demand and (b) subject to the Defense Control Condition, whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand. Assuming compliance with the Defense Control Condition, all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be a liability of, and shall be paid by, the Indemnifying Party. Subject to the Defense Control Condition, in the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand and except as hereinafter provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party (i) by appropriate proceedings and (ii) to use or retain counsel in connection with such defense that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing prior to the assumption of the defense of such claim or demand, its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such claim or demand. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all information reasonably available to such Indemnified Party relating to such claim or demand. In addition, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such claim or demand. The party in charge of the defense shall keep the other party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement it may do so at its sole cost and expense, and subject to any reasonable privilege or confidentiality considerations. In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not elect to, defend the claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle a claim or demand without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withhold, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Indemnifying Party has previously acknowledged in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such claim or demand. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand (i) on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party without the written consent of the Indemnified Party and (ii) without obtaining (a) a release with respect to such claim or demand and (b) the dismissal with prejudice of any litigation or other proceeding with respect to such claim or demand, in each case for the benefit of and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise, then the amount of any such claim or demand, or, if the same be contested by the Indemnified Party, then that portion thereof as to which such defense is unsuccessful (and the reasonable costs and expenses pertaining to such defense) shall be the liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder to the extent any Losses are sustained which are otherwise the subject of indemnification under this Section 9. Assuming compliance with the Defense Control Condition, to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will give

to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to, during normal business hours, the relevant business records and other documents, and shall permit them to consult with the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party (in each case, subject to the reasonable restrictions in light of any privilege, confidentiality or competitively sensitive issues). The Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts in the defense of all such claims.

(b) Payment. If the Indemnifying Party concedes liability in whole or in part, it shall, within 30 days of such concession, pay (in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement) the amount of the claim to the Indemnified Party to the extent of the liability conceded. Any such payment shall be made in cash in immediately available funds equal to the amount of such claim so payable. If the Indemnifying Party does not respond or denies liability in whole or in part or advises that the matters set forth in the notice are, or will be, subject to contest or legal proceedings not yet finally resolved, then the Indemnifying Party shall make no payment (except for the amount of any conceded liability payable as set forth above) until the matter is resolved in accordance with this Agreement.

9.7. Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Trican Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent agree to treat any indemnification payments received pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Final Cash Purchase Price to the extent permitted under applicable Law.

9.8. Exclusive Remedy. Following the Closing, a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 9 (and with respect to a claim of a breach of a representation and warranty in Section 4 or Section 5, the R&W Insurance Policies) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any and all claims or rights (whether such claim is framed in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of or in connection with any breach, violation or nonperformance of this Agreement by any Party, or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, other than in respect of any such claims or rights which are based on theories of fraud. Prior to the Closing and subject to Section 10.12, each Party will have all rights and remedies under applicable Law with respect to any breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements.

9.9. Insurance Offset. If any Losses sustained by an Indemnified Party are covered by an insurance policy or an indemnification, contribution or similar obligation of another Person (other than an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party), the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments. If the Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments prior to being indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as applicable, with respect to such Losses, the payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Section 9 with respect to such Losses shall be reduced by the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments to the extent related to such Losses, less reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. If the Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments after being indemnified and held harmless by an Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payment to the extent related to such Losses, less reasonable attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery.

9.10. Investigation. Notwithstanding any right of Trican Parent or the Seller Companies, on the one hand, or the Buyer Companies, on the other hand, as the case may be, (whether or not exercised) to investigate the affairs of Buyer or the Seller Companies, as the case may be, each party shall have the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other Party contained in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and any other document or instrument required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement. No information or knowledge, whether obtained by a Party in an investigation conducted by such Party, provided to such Party by the other Party to this Agreement or otherwise obtained by such Party, shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of any other Party contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The right to indemnification contained in this Section 9, or to any other remedy based on a breach of the representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations of another Party, will not be affected by any investigation conducted by a Party 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, about an accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance or failure to comply with, any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of any other Party.

9.11. Limitation on Damages. FROM AND AFTER CLOSING, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, NO PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SUCH PARTY RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH THEREOF OR UNDER ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, INDEMNITY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, INCREASED COST OF OPERATIONS, LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTIONS. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, FROM AND AFTER CLOSING, EACH PARTY RELEASES EACH OTHER PARTY AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT OF RECOVERY FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SUCH PARTY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY THE OTHER PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE (AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH NEGLIGENCE IS SOLE, JOINT, CONCURRENT, ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE), FAULT, OR LIABILITY WITHOUT FAULT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LIMITING AN OBLIGATION OF A PARTY TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS ANOTHER PARTY AGAINST CLAIMS ASSERTED BY THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES.

A Party may change its address and contact information for purposes of this Section 10.6 by providing notice of such change in writing to the other Parties in accordance with this Section 10.6.

10.7. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Except as provided in this Section 10.7, each of the Parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such Court does not have jurisdiction, in the courts of the State of Delaware or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and each of the Parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other Parties hereto.

EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR

OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.7.

10.8. Remedies; Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.

10.9. Integration. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the exhibits, documents and instruments referred to herein, the Confidentiality Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, including, without limitation, the provisions of the summary of terms between the Parties hereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, which provisions of the summary of terms shall be completely superseded by the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Seller Companies contained herein.

10.10. Assignability; Binding Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but will not be assignable or delegable by any Party hereto without the prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that any Party may assign any and/or all of its rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by way of security to any banks and/or holders of debt securities and/or financial institutions and/or hedge counterparties and/or any other Person (collectively, the “Financiers”) lending money, providing credit or otherwise providing financing to any of such Party or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation any Financiers in connection with any and all subsequent refinancings.

10.11. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, fees and expenses incident to the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the performance of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’, financial advisors’ and other advisors’ fees and disbursements) and the fees and expenses of any broker, finder or agent retained by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the party incurring such fees and expenses.

10.12. Specific Performance. Trican Parent and the Seller Companies acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the Business and the Purchased Assets, ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and the Buyer would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages and would be irreparably harmed in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agree that ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent and Buyer shall be entitled to specific enforcement of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. For

the avoidance of doubt, each of Trican Parent and the Seller Companies shall have no right to seek (and shall not be entitled to seek) specific performance (or any other equitable remedy) to cause ▇▇▇▇▇ Parent, Buyer, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., or any Financing Sources to specifically perform its obligations hereunder, including the consummation of the Transaction or the Financing (or in either case, any portion thereof) and the sole and exclusive remedy available to Trican Parent and the Seller Companies shall be the payment of the Tier One Termination Fee or Tier Two Termination Fee, as applicable, as set forth in Section 8.4 hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.12 shall prevent any Party hereto from seeking to specifically enforce any of its rights pursuant to and accordance with the terms set forth in that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated as of June 22, 2015; provided, however, that the Parties Agree that notwithstanding the non-solicitation provision set forth in such Confidentiality Agreement, nothing therein shall prohibit or frustrate Buyer’s ability to solicit the employment of (a) the Business Employees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (b) following the Closing, the Trican Agents (as defined in the Services Agreement).

10.13. Third Party Beneficiaries.
