The Parties acknowledge that the Purchase Price being paid to the Seller pursuant to Section 3.2 is based on the assumption that the Net Working Capital of the Company Group shall be equal to $6,000,000 (the “Assumed Net Working Capital”). The Parties agree that (i) if the estimated Net Working Capital as reflected on the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) is less than the Assumed Net Working Capital, then the difference between the Assumed Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital shall constitute the “Estimated Working Capital Deficit”; and (ii) if the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Assumed Net Working Capital, then the difference between the Estimated Net Working Capital and the Assumed Net Working Capital shall constitute the “Estimated Working Capital Surplus.” The Closing Date Payment shall include an adjustment to the Purchase Price to reflect the Estimated Working Capital Deficit or the Estimated Working Capital Surplus, as the case may be.

(e) Examination of Proposed Closing Statement. The Seller shall review the Proposed Closing Statement to confirm the accuracy of the Proposed Closing Statement and of the Purchaser’s calculation of the Net Working Capital. From and after the date of the Seller’s receipt of the Proposed Closing Statement until the determination of the “Final Closing

Statement” (as hereinafter defined), the Purchaser shall provide the Seller and its representatives reasonable access, not unreasonably interfering with the operations of the Company Group, during normal business hours, to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company Group. If the Seller fails to give the Purchaser written notice of any disputed amounts within thirty (30) days after the Seller receives the Proposed Closing Statement (the “Review Period”), then the Proposed Closing Statement shall become the Final Closing Statement for purposes hereof. If the Seller gives the Purchaser written notice of any disputed items within the Review Period, the Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt in good faith to agree on any adjustments that should be made to the Proposed Closing Statement. The written notice delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser under this Section 3.4(e) shall specify in reasonable detail each item on the Proposed Closing Statement that the Seller disputes and a summary of the reasons for such dispute. If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve any disputed amounts within thirty (30) days after the Seller receives the Proposed Closing Statement, then the Purchaser and the Seller shall engage the Houston, Texas office of KPMG LLP (the “Audit Firm”) to resolve any such disputed matters. The Audit Firm shall make its determination regarding any disputed amounts by calculating such amounts in a manner consistent with GAAP as applied by the Company Group in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements and the definitions of the components of Net Working Capital included in this Agreement. In connection with making the determination of the Net Working Capital, in the event that there is a conflict or an inconsistency between required GAAP principles and the past practice of the Company Group, then the GAAP methodology shall control. If issues are submitted to the Audit Firm for resolution, the Seller and the Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Audit Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Audit Firm may reasonably request and are available to that Party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Audit Firm any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Audit Firm. The decision of the Audit Firm shall be provided in writing and, if possible, be made within thirty (30) days after the engagement of the Audit Firm and shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Proposed Closing Statement shall be revised, if necessary, to reflect the final determination of the components thereof (the final form of the Proposed Closing Statement, including any revisions which are made thereto pursuant to this Section 3.4(e), is referred to herein as the “Final Closing Statement”). In the event that the Parties submit any unresolved objections to the Audit Firm for resolution, the fees of the Audit Firm shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by the Seller.

(f) Final Adjustment. Upon final determination of the Final Closing Statement in accordance with Section 3.4(e), a payment adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 3.4(f) as follows:

(i) If the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital (the amount of such shortfall, if any, is referred to as the “Final Working Capital Deficit”), the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, an amount equal to the Final Working Capital Deficit, which, at the option of the Purchaser, shall be paid from the Escrow Funds as soon as practicable (but not more than five (5) Business Days) after the determination of the Final Closing Statement.

(ii) If the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital (the amount of such excess is referred to as the “Final Working Capital Surplus”), then the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, an amount equal to the Final Working Capital Surplus as soon as practicable (but not more than five (5) Business Days) after the determination of the Final Closing Statement.

(b) Right to Receive Earnout. If, and to the extent, earned in accordance with Section 3.5(j), and subject to adjustment as provided Section 11.8, the Seller shall have the right, upon the expiration of the Earnout Period, to receive the Earnout Proceeds and to be issued such number of Common Shares (rounded to the nearest whole Common Share) equal to $9,024,000 (the “Earnout Share Amount”) divided by the Common Shares Valuation Price, as converted from Canadian dollars to United States dollars based on the average noon spot rate (Eastern Time) published by the Bank of Canada (at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Earnout Shares”), as adjusted, if applicable, in accordance with Section 3.5(d), plus any additional amounts as calculated in accordance with Section 3.5(e).

(d) Adjustment of Earnout Shares. If, at any time prior to the issuance of the Earnout Shares, Just Energy subdivides or splits its then outstanding Common Shares, the number of Earnout Shares shall be proportionately increased and if, at any time prior to the issuance of the Earnout Shares, Just Energy combines its then outstanding Common Shares, the number of Earnout Shares shall be proportionately decreased. Further, if Just Energy effects any reclassification or similar change of outstanding Common Shares (other than as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), a conversion or a consolidation or merger of Just Energy with another entity, or declares a dividend payable in Equity Securities, the Earnout Shares shall, after such capital reorganization, reclassification, conversion, dividend, consolidation or merger, be equal to the number of Common Shares, securities or other properties, including cash, to which a

holder of the Earnout Shares would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, reclassification, dividend, conversion, consolidation or merger (the “Consideration”). If the Consideration is comprised entirely of cash, then, upon completion of such transaction, such cash Consideration shall be deposited into the Escrow Account in lieu of the Earnout Shares and shall be subject to further adjustment, if any, in accordance with this Section 3.5 as Earnout Proceeds.

(e) Additional Payable Amounts on Earnout Proceeds and Earnout Shares.

During the Earnout Period, the Purchaser shall, in good faith, conduct the business of the Company Group in the Ordinary Course of Business and not in a manner intended or reasonably likely to reduce or avoid the achievement of the Earnout Targets.

The Purchaser shall act commercially reasonably with respect to decisions concerning the services of the officers and employees of the Company Group (provided that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict the Purchaser or the Company Group with respect to the termination or release of officers and employees of the Company Group for “cause” (with respect to employees under written employment agreements with the Company Group), non-performance (with respect to employees not under written employment agreements with the Company Group), bad faith or in the Ordinary Course of Business for the achievement of cost savings due to the acquisition of the business of the Company Group by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement); and

The Purchaser shall not, and shall cause the members of the Company Group to not, enter into any contracts, agreements or arrangements relating to the business of the Company Group with any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates, other than contracts, agreements or arrangements on terms that are no more favorable to such Affiliates than terms which could be obtained from independent parties in arm’s-length transactions (provided that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict the Purchaser or the members of the Company Group from entering into contracts, agreements or arrangements related to the business of the Company Group with the Purchaser’s Affiliates to capitalize on synergies arising out of the acquisition of the business of the Company Group by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, including arrangements resulting in reductions in sales costs, personnel costs and administrative charges, or otherwise providing the Company Group with more favorable commercial terms, or as may be otherwise approved by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall this Section 3.5(g) in any way affect, limit or restrict the Purchaser’s ability to take such actions (A) necessary or desirable to comply with applicable Laws, including requirements or regulations applicable to publicly-traded companies listed on the TSX or any other stock exchange on which Just Energy’s shares are traded or may be traded in the future, including compliance with National Instrument 52-108 – Auditor Oversight, National Instrument 52-109—Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual And Interim Filings and National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees, each of the Canadian Securities Administrators and procedure under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, or (B) to the extent any actions may be required in connection with Just Energy’s credit agreement or intercreditor arrangement with any of Just Energy’s suppliers or any material intercreditor arrangement with any of its suppliers.

(h) Supply Costs During Earnout Period. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in connection with the Earnout Targets, the supply costs allocated to the Company Group during the Earnout Period are intended to be consistent with market prices that could have been achieved during the Earnout Period by the Company Group prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall solicit price quotations from Shell and other suppliers within Just Energy’s supplier pool for comparative purposes and shall provide the Seller with such information upon receipt thereof. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that other costs during the Earnout Period shall be based on operations of the Company Group as if the Company Group continued to maintain operations solely within Texas (e.g., costs associated with expansion of the Company Group’s affinity programs outside of Texas shall be excluded from any calculations of the Earnout Targets).

(i) Transactions During Earnout Period.

(i) For purposes of this Section 3.5(i), each of the following shall constitute an “Acceleration Event”:

(A) If, at any time during the Earnout Period, the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise (i) sells, transfers, exchanges or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of the assets or Equity Securities of FRH or any other member of the Company Group; (ii) sells, transfers, exchanges or otherwise disposes of any Equity Securities in or assets or properties of FRE or ▇▇▇▇ outside the Ordinary Course of Business; or (iii) completes any spin-off, merger or consolidation transaction pursuant to which any Equity Securities of any member of the Company Group is disposed of or acquired by an entity that is not an Affiliate of the Purchaser (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) (but excluding, for purposes of this clause (A), each of the following: (x) any action taken in connection with the winding up and dissolution of ▇▇▇▇▇; (y) any transfer to or transaction with or between Affiliates of Just Energy or the Purchaser in the Ordinary Course of Business and (z) any transaction undertaken primarily for tax planning or tax restructuring purposes of Just Energy or its Affiliates; provided, that the consummation of a transaction permitted by clause (x), (y) or (z) shall not prevent an Acceleration Event from occurring in the future and, in such event, this Section 3.5(i) shall apply); or

(B) If, at any time during the Earnout Period, the employment of (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with the Company Group is terminated without “cause” or due to their resignations for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the employment agreements of such individuals with the Company Group).

(ii) In the event of an Acceleration Event that occurs within eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, EBITDA shall be calculated for the period from the Closing Date through and including the Calculation Date (the “Accelerated Earnout Period”) and measured against the Accelerated Earnout Target applicable to the calendar month in which the Calculation Date occurs in accordance with the following:

(A) In the event the Acceleration Event occurs within nine (9) months after the Closing Date, (i) if the actual EBITDA for the Accelerated Earnout Period is equal to or greater than seventy-five percent (75%) of the applicable Accelerated Earnout Target, then both Earnout Targets will be deemed to have been achieved in full and the Seller shall receive all of the Earnout Proceeds and all of the Earnout Shares, as adjusted, if applicable in accordance with Section 3.5(d), plus the Additional Payable Amounts; and (ii) if the actual EBITDA for the Accelerated Earnout Period is less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the applicable Accelerated Earnout Target, then the Seller shall receive seventy-five percent (75%) of the Earnout Proceeds and seventy-five percent (75%) of the Earnout Shares, as adjusted, if applicable in accordance with Section 3.5(d), plus the Additional Payable Amounts.

(B) In the event the Acceleration Event occurs more than nine (9) months after the Closing Date but within fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date, (i) if the actual EBITDA for the Accelerated Earnout Period is equal to or greater than eighty-five percent (85%) of the applicable Accelerated Earnout Target, then both Earnout Targets will be deemed to have been achieved in full and the Seller shall receive all of the Earnout Proceeds and all of the Earnout Shares, as adjusted, if applicable in accordance with Section 3.5(d), plus the Additional Payable Amounts; and (ii) if the actual EBITDA for the Accelerated Earnout Period is less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the applicable Accelerated Earnout Target, then the Seller shall receive a pro rata portion of the Earnout Proceeds and a pro rata portion of the Earnout Shares, as adjusted, if applicable, in accordance with Section 3.5(d), plus the Additional Payable Amounts (such pro rata portion being equal to the quotient of the actual EBITDA for the Accelerated Earnout Period divided by the applicable Accelerated Earnout Target).

(C) In the event the Acceleration Event occurs more than fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date but within eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, (i) if the actual EBITDA for the Accelerated Earnout Period is equal to or greater than ninety-five percent (95%) of the applicable Accelerated Earnout Target, then both Earnout Targets will be deemed to have been achieved in full and the Seller shall receive all of the Earnout Proceeds and all of the Earnout Shares, as adjusted, if applicable in accordance with Section 3.5(d), plus the Additional Payable Amounts; and (ii) if the actual EBITDA for the Accelerated Earnout Period is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the applicable Accelerated Earnout Target, then the Seller shall receive a pro rata portion of the Earnout Proceeds and a pro rata portion of the Earnout Shares, as adjusted, if applicable, in accordance with Section 3.5(d), plus the Additional Payable Amounts (such pro rata portion being equal to the quotient of the actual EBITDA for the Accelerated Earnout Period divided by the applicable Accelerated Earnout Target).

(iii) As soon as commercially practicable following the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days thereafter, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a written report setting forth the Purchaser’s computation of EBITDA and the Additional Payable Amounts, in each case for the applicable Accelerated Earnout Period (the “Cumulative Performance Report”). The Purchaser shall provide the Seller and its representatives reasonable access, not unreasonably interfering with the operations of the Company Group, during normal business hours, to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company Group solely for the purpose of verifying the Purchaser’s calculations set forth in the Cumulative Performance Report. Unless the Seller notifies the Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Cumulative Performance Report that the Seller objects to the computations set forth therein, the Cumulative Performance Report shall be final, binding, conclusive and nonappealable for all purposes of this Agreement. In the event that the Seller timely objects, the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 3.4(e) shall apply. Within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the Cumulative Performance Report, the Earnout Proceeds shall be released by the Escrow Agent, the Earnout Shares shall be issued, and the Additional Payable Amounts shall be paid in the same manner set forth in Section 3.5(k).

(j) Earnout Targets. The Earnout Proceeds shall be released by the Escrow Agent and the Earnout Shares, as adjusted, if applicable, in accordance with Section 3.5(d), shall be issued to the Seller based on the calculations below (subject, in each case, to any reductions during the Earnout Period as a result of any indemnification claims as described in Section 11.8):

(i) In the event that during the Earnout Period (A) Billed Volume is equal to or greater than the Billed Volume Target and (B) EBITDA is equal to or greater than the EBITDA Target, then the Earnout Targets shall have been achieved. In such event, all of the Earnout Proceeds shall be released to the Seller, and all of the Earnout Shares shall be issued to the Seller.

(ii) In the event that (A) the Billed Volume is equal to or greater than an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Billed Volume Target, but less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Billed Volume Target and (B) EBITDA is equal to or greater than an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the EBITDA Target, but less than one hundred percent (100%) of the EBITDA Target, then the Earnout Targets shall not have been achieved. In such event, the Earnout Proceeds and the Earnout Shares shall be reduced on a pari passu basis based on the level of the Earnout Targets actually achieved and in accordance with the following formula:

X = (75% x A) + (25% x B)

Where:

X = Percentage of Earnout Proceeds Released and Earnout Shares Issued

A = (EBITDA / EBITDA Target) x 100

B = (Billed Volume / Billed Volume Target) x 100

For example purposes only, if EBITDA is $18,899,163, or 75% of the EBITDA Target, and Billed Volume is 3,401,584 MWhs, or 100% of the Billed Volume Target, then the percentage of the Earnout Proceeds to be released and the Earnout Shares to be issued to the Seller equals (75% x 75%) + (25% x 100%), or 81.25%.

As an additional example, if EBITDA is $22,678,995, or 90% of the EBITDA Target, and Billed Volume is 2,721,267.2 MWhs, or 80% of the Billed Volume Target, then the percentage of the Earnout Proceeds to be released and the Earnout Shares to be issued to the Seller equals (75% x 90%) + (25% x 80%), or 87.5%.

(iii) In the event that during the Earnout Period (A) the Billed Volume is less than an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Billed Volume Target or (B) EBITDA is less than an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the EBITDA Target, then the Earnout Targets shall not have been achieved. In such event, all of the Earnout Proceeds shall be released to the Purchaser, and no Earnout Shares shall be issued to the Seller.

(k) Release of Earnout Proceeds, Issuance of Earnout Shares and Payment of Additional Payable Amounts. Subject to the requirements and limitations of this Section 3.5, within three (3) Business Days following the final determination of the Final Earnout Period Report, the Earnout Proceeds shall be released by the Escrow Agent and the Earnout Shares shall be issued in such amounts as set forth in the Final Earnout Period Report. In addition, the

Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the Additional Payable Amounts as calculated pursuant to Section 3.5(e)(i) and as set forth in the Final Earnout Period Report; provided, however, no Additional Payable Amounts shall be paid to the Seller to the extent associated with unearned Earnout Proceeds or Earnout Shares. The Purchaser and the Seller covenant and agree to take all actions and to do all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable or as otherwise reasonably requested by the other Parties to effectuate the transfer of the Earnout Proceeds and all other escrowed amounts as set forth in the Final Earnout Period Report and to issue the Earnout Shares to the Seller, if and to the extent applicable.

3.6 Method of Payment. All monetary payments from one Party to another under this Agreement, including the Purchase Price, shall be made in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated in writing by the Person receiving such payment.

3.7 Indemnity Holdback Amount. As security for any indemnification liability of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver the Indemnity Holdback Amount to the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller prior to the Closing (the “Escrow Agreement”).

3.8 Characterization of Transaction; Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) The Seller and the Purchaser intend that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the purchase by the Purchaser of the Units be treated as if the Purchaser acquired the assets held by the Company Group (subject to the liabilities of the Company Group as of the end of the day on the Closing Date), and the Seller and the Purchaser shall each report, and shall cause their respective Affiliates where applicable to report, the purchase by the Purchaser of the Units consistent with such intended treatment for all United States federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Seller, the Purchaser and their respective Affiliates shall not file any Tax Return or take any position for any United States federal and applicable state or local income Tax purposes inconsistent with such treatment.

(b) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a proposed schedule (the “Proposed Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price (plus any liabilities and any other amounts required to be treated as part of the consideration for United States federal income tax purposes) among the assets of the Company Group in accordance with the methodology set forth on Section 3.8 of the Company Group Disclosure Letter. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the methodology set forth on Section 3.8 of the Company Group Disclosure Letter and the allocation in the Final Allocation Schedule (as defined below) shall be in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. The Proposed Allocation Schedule shall be adjusted to reflect the Net Working Capital as reflected on the Final Closing Statement, once determined, and shall become final and binding on the Parties forty-five (45) days after Final Closing Statement has become final and binding pursuant to Section 3.4, unless the Purchaser provides the Seller with a written objection to the Proposed Allocation Schedule specifying the basis of such objection and an alternative allocation. If the Purchaser objects to the Proposed Allocation Schedule, the Seller and the Purchaser shall attempt

in good faith to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days of the Purchaser’s objection. Any such resolution shall be final and binding on the Parties. Any unresolved disputes shall be promptly submitted to the Audit Firm. Any determination of the Audit Firm shall be made in accordance with the methodology set forth on Section 3.8 of the Company Group Disclosure Letter and shall be final, binding, conclusive and nonappealable for all purposes of this Agreement. The Proposed Allocation Schedule as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.8 is referred to herein as the “Final Allocation Schedule”. Except as required by applicable Law, each of the Parties agrees to (a) prepare and timely file all Tax Returns, including, without limitation, Form 8594 (and all supplements thereto) in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule and (b) act in accordance with the Final Allocation Schedule for all United States federal income tax and applicable state income tax purposes. The Parties will revise the Final Allocation Schedule to the extent necessary to reflect any adjustment to the Purchase Price made pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement. In the case of any adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence, the Seller shall propose a revision to the Final Allocation Schedule, and the Parties shall follow the procedures outlined above with respect to review, dispute and resolution in respect of such revision.

(v) Outside of the Ordinary Course of Business: make any declaration, set aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution of assets (whether in cash, Equity Securities or property) with respect to the Equity Securities of any member of the Company Group, or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase or other acquisition of such Equity Securities or otherwise make any payment of cash or any transfer of other assets to the Seller;

7.5 Preparation of Supporting Documents. In addition to such actions as the Seller may otherwise be required to take under this Agreement or applicable Law to consummate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the Seller shall take such actions, shall furnish such information, and shall prepare, or cooperate in preparing, and execute and deliver such certificates, agreements and other instruments as the Purchaser may reasonably request from time to time, before, at or after the Closing, with respect to compliance with obligations of the Purchaser, the Seller in connection with the Purchaser’s purchase of the Units from the Seller and the acquisition of the Company Group.

The Seller shall promptly communicate to the Purchaser the terms of any proposal which it or any of them may receive in respect of all such transactions prohibited by the foregoing.

7.7 Seller Release. In consideration for the Purchase Price, as of and following the Closing, the Seller, for itself and its successors and assigns (but excluding Just Energy, the Purchaser and the Company Group) (collectively, the “Releasors”), knowingly, voluntarily, unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges each member of the Company Group and their respective managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, debts, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, covenants, Contracts, controversies, promises, judgments, liabilities and costs or obligations of any kind whatsoever in law or equity, or otherwise (including claims for damages, costs, expenses, and attorneys’, brokers’ and accountants’ fees and expenses) for additional payment or consideration in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as well as all other events, facts, conditions or circumstances existing or arising prior to the Closing Date, which the any Releasor can, shall or may have against the Released Parties, and that now exist or may hereafter accrue (collectively, the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that Released Claims shall not include claims available to the Releasors under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The Releasors shall refrain from asserting any claim or demand or commencing (or causing to be commenced) by way of a lawsuit, action or other proceeding, whether judicial, administrative or otherwise, or otherwise attempting to collect or enforce any such Released Claim against any of the Released Parties.

The Seller shall also ensure that the insurance policy is appropriately updated to be in the name of the Company Group (rather than ▇▇▇▇). If the renewal of such policy is not obtained as required herein or is or becomes invalid for any reason, the Purchaser, upon notice to the Seller, is authorized to obtain the same at the Seller’s reasonable expense.

7.10 Covenant Not to Solicit or Compete.

(a) Restrictions. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that it has (i) intimate knowledge of the Business, including but not limited to, knowledge of its Proprietary Information, and (ii) knowledge of and relationships with the customers, vendors, suppliers and referral sources of the Business, and that such knowledge and relationships are such that if the Seller were to compete with the Purchaser within the Restricted Territory at any time during the Restricted Period, the value to the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the benefits that the Purchaser bargained for under this Agreement, would be severely and irreparably damaged. Further, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants not to solicit or compete contained herein are a fundamental element of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that the transaction would not have been consummated in the absence of the covenant not to solicit or compete. Accordingly, the Seller agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Seller shall not, and the Seller shall ensure that its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, either individually, in partnership, jointly, or in conjunction with, or on behalf of, any Person, other than for the direct benefit of the Purchaser or its affiliates:

(i)(A) engage in the Restricted Business within the Restricted Territory or (B) otherwise obtain any interest in, advise, lend money to, guarantee the debts or obligations of, or perform services in either a supervisory or managerial capacity or as an advisor, consultant or independent contractor for, or otherwise participate in the ownership, management or control of, any Person that is engaged in the Restricted Business within the Restricted Territory, except that the Seller may own not more than three percent (3%) of the capital stock of any Person whose stock is traded on the TSX, NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange, even if such Person is in the Restricted Business, provided that such investment is completely passive in nature;

(ii) solicit or contact any Restricted Customer for the purpose of providing products or services within the Restricted Territory that are the same as, or similar to, those provided by the Company Group or, to the Company Group’s Knowledge, the Purchaser;

(iii) solicit, induce or encourage any Restricted Customer to terminate or modify any business relationship with the Company Group or the Purchaser;

(iv) solicit, induce or encourage any Key Affinity Partner to terminate or modify any business relationship with the Company Group or the Purchaser;

(v) solicit or persuade, or attempt to solicit or persuade, any person who is in the employ of the Company Group or the Purchaser at the time of such contact to terminate or modify his or her employment relationship, whether or not pursuant to a written agreement, with any member of the Company Group or the Purchaser; or

(vi) solicit or persuade, or attempt to solicit or persuade, any person who performs services as an independent contractor, broker of or consultant to the Company Group or the Purchaser, or any other individual who provides incidental services to the Company Group or the Purchaser, at the time of such contact to terminate or modify his or her relationship, whether or not pursuant to a written agreement, with any member of the Company Group or the Purchaser.

(b)

Remedies for Breach.

(i) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that its breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.10 would cause irreparable injury to the Purchaser and that remedies at law of the Purchaser for any actual or threatened breach by the Seller of such covenants would be inadequate; therefore, the Seller further acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance of the covenants in this Section 7.10 or injunctive relief against activities in violation of this Section 7.10, or both, by temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate judicial remedy, writ or order, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not diminish the right of the Purchaser to claim and recover damages against the Seller for any breach of this Section 7.10, in addition to injunctive relief. Accordingly, in the event of a breach of this Section 7.10, the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may elect to pursue injunctive relief or monetary damages, or both.

(ii) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for all legal expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which the Purchaser incurs in pursuing remedies, whether legal or equitable, for any actual or threatened breach of this Section 7.10 by the Seller.

(iii) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in this Section 7.10 shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Contract between the parties hereto and that the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Seller against the Purchaser, whether predicated upon this or any other contract or agreement, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Purchaser of the covenants in this Section 7.10.

(c) Reasonableness. The Seller has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions in this Section 7.10 and the rights and remedies conferred on the Purchaser under this Section 7.10, and the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the description of the Restricted Territory embodies locations where the Seller understands that the Purchaser currently conducts the Business or reasonably expects to conduct the Business in accordance with its current business plan;

(ii) the Seller understands that the Purchaser and the Company Group intend to expand the geographic scope of the Business after Closing, and the potential geographic expansion of the Business is a significant portion of the value for which the Purchaser is paying pursuant to the Agreement;

(iii) the restrictions and covenants contained herein, and the rights and remedies conferred up on the Purchaser, are necessary to protect the goodwill and other value of the Company Group and the benefits bargained for by the Purchaser under the Agreement; and

(iv) the restrictions placed upon the Seller hereunder are fair and reasonable in time and territory and place no greater restraint upon the Seller than is reasonably necessary to secure the goodwill and other value of the Company Group and the benefits bargained for by the Purchaser under the Agreement.

(d)

Additional Acknowledgments by the Seller.

(i) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that any portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the covenants contained in this Section 7.10 pursuant to Section 3.8 does not in any way reflect, nor is in any way intended to reflect, (A) the value of the overall legal consideration being given to the Seller for such covenants or (B) the amount of monetary damages that would adequately compensate the Purchaser or its Affiliates for any violation or attempted violation of any of the Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.10. Accordingly, the Seller agrees to not assert the foregoing as a defense to any such violation or attempted violation nor assert any of the foregoing as relevant to determining adequacy of consideration or monetary damages for any such violation or attempted violation.

(ii) If any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.10, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such provision, the Parties agree that the court or arbitral tribunal making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, or delete specific words or phrases, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

(iii) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by Just Energy and the Purchaser under this Agreement shall be valid and adequate consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 7.10. Accordingly, the Seller hereby waives, to the greatest extent permissible by applicable Law, inadequacy of consideration as a defense to any violation or attempted violation of any of the Seller’s obligations under this Section 7.10.

(iv) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) the obligations of the Seller under this Section 7.10 shall survive for the Restricted Period; and (ii) none of the limitations in Article XI shall apply to any indemnification obligations of the Seller related to any matters under this Section 7.10.

ARTICLE VIII

COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

8.1 Approvals of Third Parties; Satisfaction of Conditions to Closing. During the Interim Period, the Seller and the Purchaser will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts, and will cooperate with one another, to secure all necessary consents, approvals, authorizations and exemptions from Governmental Entities and other third parties, including all consents required by Sections 10.4, 10.5 and 10.12. The Seller will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause or obtain the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Article X. The Purchaser will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause or obtain the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Article IX.

8.2 Confidentiality. The Parties covenant and agree that:

(a) Each Recipient shall hold in confidence and not directly or indirectly use, copy, reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer any of the Proprietary Information to any Person except as necessary to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, or utilize any of the Proprietary Information for any purpose not explicitly authorized hereunder, except that Recipient may disclose Proprietary Information of a Disclosing Party to its employees, consultants and financial and legal advisors (hereinafter “Consultants”), provided such Consultants have a need to know and have executed nondisclosure agreements obligating such Consultants to keep the Proprietary Information of such Disclosing Party confidential, or are otherwise bound by similar confidentiality obligations. The limitations contained in this Section 8.2 shall continue (i) with regard to Confidential Information, for the duration of this Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter, and (ii) with regard to Trade Secrets, for the duration of this Agreement and in perpetuity thereafter.

(b) If the transactions contemplated hereunder are not consummated, each Recipient will deliver to the Disclosing Party, or destroy, all memoranda, notes, records, tapes, documentation, disks, manuals, files or other documents, and all copies thereof, concerning or containing Proprietary Information that are in Recipient’s possession, whether made or compiled by Recipient or furnished to Recipient by such Disclosing Party.

(c) In the event a Recipient becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the Proprietary Information, such Recipient will provide to the Disclosing Party prompt notice so that each Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or compliance with the provisions of this Agreement is waived, such Recipient will furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which is legally required, and to the extent requested by the Disclosing Party, will exercise its best efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Proprietary Information.

(d) The covenants and agreements contained herein shall inure to the benefit of, and may be enforced by, the successors and assigns of each Party and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether such termination is at the instance of either Party, and regardless of the reasons therefore. The protection afforded hereunder is in addition to and does not replace any prior confidentiality or nondisclosure obligation of one Party to the other.

(e) The injury that a Disclosing Party will suffer in the event of a Recipient’s breach of any covenant or agreement contained herein cannot be compensated by monetary damages alone, and Recipient therefore agrees that a Disclosing Party, in addition to and without limiting any other remedies or rights which it may have either under this Agreement or otherwise, shall have the right to obtain an injunction against Recipient, from any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such breach.

8.3 ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Notification. The Seller and the Purchaser have each filed a notification with the United States Justice Department (the “Justice Department”) and the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) as required by the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). The Seller and the Purchaser shall keep all information about the other obtained in connection with the preparation of such notification confidential.

8.4 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns. The Seller shall prepare and file when due, or shall cause to be prepared and filed when due, all Tax Returns of any member of the Company Group for all Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date, including for those jurisdictions and Governmental Entities that permit or require a short period Tax Return for Taxes (the “Seller Prepared Returns”). The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with copies of each Seller Prepared Return no later than twenty (20) days prior to the filing deadline (including extensions) with respect to such Seller Prepared Return; provided, that in the case of any Seller Prepared Return which filing deadline (including extensions) is within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date and which cannot be reasonably prepared and provided to the Purchaser at least twenty (20) days prior to such filing deadline, the

Seller shall provide a copy of such Seller Prepared Return no later than five (5) days prior to such filing deadline. The Purchaser shall have the right to review and comment on (without obligation on the Seller to accept such comments), prior to their filing all Tax Returns of each member of the Company Group with respect to the period ending on the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and filed in a timely manner all Tax Returns for Straddle Periods required to be filed by any member of the Company Group (“Purchaser Prepared Returns”). The Seller Prepared Returns and the Purchaser Prepared Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practices of the Company Group (so long as such practices comply with applicable Law) and applicable Law. The Purchaser shall provide the Seller with copies of portions of such Tax Returns as relates to each member of the Company Group from each Purchaser Prepared Return no later than twenty (20) days prior to the filing deadline (including extensions) with respect to such Purchaser Prepared Return for the Seller’s review and shall make such changes as are reasonably requested by the Seller with respect to the portions of such Purchaser Prepared Returns as relates to any member of the Company Group; provided, that in the case of any Purchaser Prepared Return which filing deadline (including extensions) is within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date and which cannot be reasonably prepared and provided to the Seller at least twenty (20) days prior to such filing deadline, the Purchaser shall provide a copy of such Purchaser Prepared Return no later than five (5) days prior to such filing deadline.

(b) Payment of Taxes.

(i) Seller Prepared Returns. Within five (5) Business Days of the due date (taking extensions into account) of the Seller Prepared Tax Returns that are filed by a member of the Company Group, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Taxes of each member of the Company Group that are shown as due on such Seller Prepared Returns.

(ii) Purchaser Prepared Returns. Following the filing of a Purchaser Prepared Tax Return, the Purchaser shall provide to the Seller a written notice setting forth in sufficient detail the calculation and amount of Taxes shown on such Tax Return that are Taxes of the Company Group for the Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Tax Statement”). Within ten (10) Business Days after the Seller receives a Tax Statement from the Purchaser, the Seller shall either (A) pay the Purchaser the amount of Taxes set forth on such Tax Statement that are Taxes of the Company Group for the Pre-Closing Tax Period or (B) provide to the Purchaser written notice of the Seller’s disagreement of the calculation and amount of Taxes set forth on such Tax Statement that are Taxes of the Company Group for the Pre-Closing Tax Period. In the event the Seller provides written notice of its disagreement with a Tax Statement provided by Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser shall use their good faith efforts to resolve the disputed items on such Tax Statement, and within five (5) Business Days after such resolution, the Seller shall pay the Purchaser the amount of Taxes with respect to the applicable Tax Return that the Seller and the Purchaser have agreed are Taxes of the Company Group for the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(iii) Payable Amount. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 8.4(b) shall be reduced by the amount of Taxes taken into account as a Current Liability for purposes of the Final Closing Statement.

(c) Tax Cooperation. The Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall provide the other Party with such information and records and make such of its representatives available as may reasonably be requested by such other Party in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any audit or other proceeding regarding any Tax Returns of any member of the Company Group. The Purchaser agrees (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters relating to any member of the Company Group for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax period, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity of which the Purchaser has knowledge, and (ii) to give the Seller reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if the Seller so requests, the Purchaser shall allow the Seller to take possession of such books and records. The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree, upon the reasonable request by any such Party, to use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be reasonably necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). To the extent any consent or approval is required under this Section 8.4(c), such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by the Person required to provide such consent or approval.

(d) Transfer Taxes. The Seller and the Purchaser shall each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions described in this Agreement. Notwithstanding Section 8.4(a), the Party primarily or customarily responsible for filing the applicable Tax Return with respect to an applicable Transfer Tax (the “Filing Party”) shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, such Tax Return, and the Filing Party shall make timely payment (taking into account any applicable extensions) of such Transfer Taxes set forth on such Tax Return, subject to reimbursement from the other Party of its share of such Transfer Taxes as set forth in this Section 8.4(d) within five days (5) after receiving written notice from the Filing Party that such Transfer Taxes were paid. The expenses of such filing or filings shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Seller and fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser.

(e) Tax Audits and Proceedings. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.4, the provisions of this Section 8.4(e) shall apply to Tax Claims. If written notice of any audit or proceeding with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of, or with respect to, any member of the Company Group or the assets of any member of the Company Group (a “Tax Claim”) is received by the Purchaser, any member of the Company Group or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to any period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, or for which the Seller could have an indemnification obligation under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall notify the Seller promptly in writing of such Tax Claim. The failure of the Purchaser to notify the Seller pursuant to this Section 8.4(e) shall not constitute a waiver of any

claim to indemnification under this Agreement in the absence of material prejudice to the Seller. The Seller, at its sole expense, shall have the right to represent the applicable member of the Company Group in connection with any Tax Claim relating to any period ending on or before the Closing Date and control the discussions and other proceedings that may occur with respect to the resolution of any such Tax Claim; provided that, in the event that any such Tax Claim could result in an adjustment that would increase the liability for Tax attributable to a period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date or for any Tax that is the responsibility of the Purchaser, a member of the Company Group or any respective Affiliates under this Agreement, the Seller, on a timely basis, shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of the progress of any such Tax Claim, shall permit the Purchaser, at its sole expense, to participate in the discussions and other proceedings with respect to the resolution of the Tax Claim, and shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Claim without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Purchaser, at its sole expense, shall have the right to represent the applicable member of the Company Group in connection with any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period and control the discussions and other proceedings that may occur with respect to the resolution of any such Tax Claim; provided that, in the event that any such Tax Claim could result in an adjustment that would result in an indemnification obligation for the Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(d), the Purchaser, on a timely basis, shall keep the Seller reasonably informed of the progress of any such Tax Claim, shall permit the Seller, at its sole expense, to participate in the discussions and other proceedings with respect to the resolution of the Tax Claim, and shall not settle or compromise any such Tax Claim without the consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) Survival and Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8.4 shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the obligation to pay the relevant Taxes covered hereby.

(g) Straddle Periods. For purposes of Section 8.4(b) and Section 11.1(d), the following provisions shall apply:

(i) In the case of any Tax of a member of the Company Group that is based on income, sales, revenue, production or similar items, or other Taxes not described in Section 8.4(g)(ii), and pertains or is attributable to any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period of such Straddle Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; and

(ii) In the case of any liability for any real property, personal property, ad valorem and similar Taxes (“Property Tax”) attributable to a Straddle Period, the amount of such Property Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Property Tax for the entire Straddle Period, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(h) Refunds. Any refund of Taxes or amounts credited against Taxes to which a member of the Company Group becomes entitled that are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the benefit of the Seller, except to the extent they are Current Assets. The Purchaser shall promptly pay over (or cause the applicable member of the Company Group to pay over) to the Seller all refunds or the amount of any credit to which the Seller is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence (including interest with respect thereto paid by the applicable Governmental Entity).

(i) Section 754 Elections. To the extent that Amigo does not have in effect an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (a “Section 754 Election”) that would be applicable on the deemed sale of the Amigo membership units by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause Amigo to make a Section 754 Election that would be applicable on the deemed sale of the Amigo membership units by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

8.5 Notice of Breach or Potential Breach. During the Interim Period, the Seller and the Purchaser shall promptly notify the other in writing of any change, circumstance or event which would cause any of the representations or warranties made by any Party pursuant to this Agreement to be untrue as of the date hereof or at the Closing or which prevents the Parties from complying with any of their respective obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no disclosure pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be deemed to prevent or cure any breach of a representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement hereunder for purposes of Section 9.1(a) or Section 10.1(a).

8.6 Updated Disclosure Letters. During the Interim Period, each Party shall have the right to supplement or amend such Party’s Disclosure Letter with respect to any information, circumstance or condition hereafter arising which, if existing at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Party’s Disclosure Letter (a “Disclosure Notice”). Any Disclosure Notice shall be deemed to update such Party’s Disclosure Letter and cure any breach of any representation or warranty with respect to the matter(s) that is the subject of such Disclosure Notice for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.1(a) or Section 10.1(a), as applicable; provided, that the matters set forth in such Disclosure Notice would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to any matter set forth in a Disclosure Notice, the Disclosure Notice shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty and a Party may seek indemnification for any Losses arising from such matter in accordance with the provisions of Article XI; provided, however, if such Disclosure Notice included matters that have caused a Material Adverse Effect thereby giving the other Party a right to terminate this Agreement due to the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 9.1(a) or Section 10.1(a) not being satisfied, as applicable, but such Party elected to proceed with the Closing, then any such matter set forth in a Disclosure Notice by the other Party shall be deemed to have been included in the Disclosure Letters, as applicable, as of the date hereof.

8.7 Reconciliation of the Company Group’s Financial Statements. The Purchaser shall coordinate and arrange, at its expense, for the reconciliation of the Financial Statements of the Company Group from GAAP to IFRS in such format required by the Purchaser; provided, however, that such reconciliation shall not be a condition to Closing.

8.8 Replacement of Existing Security Deposits. During the Interim Period and following the Closing Date, the Seller shall cooperate and assist the Purchaser, including by taking all commercially reasonable actions and executing all documents reasonably requested by the Purchaser that are on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Seller, in connection with the replacement of the Company Group’s existing security deposits, including retail customer deposits, each of which is listed on Section 8.8 of the Company Group Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Existing Security Deposits”), with letters of credit on such terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser, on one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand and the Purchaser shall obtain such letters of credit promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, after the Closing Date. Upon the replacement of the Existing Security Deposits with the letters of credit, the Purchaser shall promptly release to the Seller all amounts paid to the Company Group or the Purchaser from the Existing Security Deposits.

8.9 Return of Deposit. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the deposit listed in Section 8.9 of the Company Group Disclosure Letter (the “Deposit”) shall not be replaced by the Purchaser with a new letter of credit after the Closing Date, but instead shall be released to the Purchaser or the Company Group as promptly as possible after the Closing. Upon the release and receipt of the Deposit, the Purchaser or the Company Group, as applicable, shall promptly pay to the Seller an amount equal to the Deposit.

8.10 Amigo Members. In the event that any Amigo Member fails to waive in writing the Put Option at or prior to the Closing Date without imposing any liability on Amigo or any other member of the Company Group, then the Purchaser shall waive the condition to Closing set forth in Section 10.14 of this Agreement with respect to such Amigo Member. In such event, the Seller shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a written waiver of the Put Option from such Amigo Member following the Closing, and the Seller shall also cooperate and assist the Purchaser and the Company Group in their efforts to obtain such written waiver. In addition, if any Amigo Member fails to waive the Put Option at or prior to the Closing Date and exercises the Put Option after the Closing in accordance with the Amigo Company Agreement, then, (a) upon written notice from Amigo to the Seller, the Seller shall purchase the Equity Securities in Amigo held by such Amigo Member for Fair Market Value (as defined in the Amigo Company Agreement) and (b) the Purchaser shall cause such purchase and sale of Equity Securities to be (i) approved by the then-current board of directors of Amigo as required by the Amigo Company Agreement and (ii) permitted by the Amigo Company Agreement (provided, however, that in no event shall the Purchaser be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket costs or expenses or take any actions in violation of applicable Law in connection with the foregoing). The purchase and sale of such Equity Securities shall occur promptly following delivery of notice from Amigo to the Seller and in accordance with the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in Section 7.6 of the Amigo Company Agreement. The Purchaser and Just Energy hereby agree that the purchase of Equity Securities by the Seller in accordance with this Section 8.10, and the Seller’s subsequent ownership thereof and exercise of rights pursuant thereto, will not constitute a breach of Section 7.10 of this Agreement.

8.11 Maintenance of Status. Until the expiration of the Earnout Period, Just Energy shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing and posting for trading of the Common Shares on the TSX, and maintain its status in each of the Provinces of Canada as a reporting issuer not in default of the requirements of the Applicable Canadian Securities Laws.

(d)(i) any and all Taxes of the Company Group for the Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) any Taxes of any other Person (other than any member of the Company Group) imposed on any member of the Company Group as a result (1) of transferee liability arising from an event or transaction occurring prior to Closing, or (2) of being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group prior to Closing; provided, the amount of indemnity for a Tax required under this Section 11.1(d) or a breach of a representation or warranty in Section 5.26 or Section 8.4 shall be reduced by the amount of Taxes taken into account as a Current Liability for purposes of the Final Closing Statement (and not already taken into account under Section 8.4(b)); and

(e) any matter set forth in Section 11.1(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter (the “Specific Indemnification Matters”).

11.2 Purchaser’s Agreement to Indemnify. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser and Just Energy shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, its Affiliates, any of their respective successors or assigns and their respective directors, officers or employees (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against all liability, assessments, losses, charges, costs and expenses (including interest, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively “Seller Damages”) incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of or arising out of:

(a) a breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser or Just Energy contained in Article VI of this Agreement;

(b) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser or Just Energy set forth in any other Transaction Document; and

(c) any breach of or noncompliance by the Purchaser or Just Energy with any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

11.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except with respect to the indemnification provided under Section 11.1(d) and as provided in Section 11.3(c), no Claim for indemnification under Section 11.1(a) or 11.1(b) shall be made against the Seller unless (i) the aggregate amount of Purchaser Damages per individual Claim exceeds $25,000 (the “Claim Threshold”) and any such individual Claims for amounts less than the Claim Threshold shall be ignored in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded and thereafter (except for a series of Claims related to the same facts and circumstances, in which case the amount of each individual Claim in the series may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the Claim Threshold has been satisfied) and (ii) the aggregate amount of Purchaser Damages exceeds $250,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Purchaser may claim indemnification for the amount of Purchaser Damages in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that except with respect to the indemnification provided in Section 11.1(d) and subject to Section 11.3(c), the Seller’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 11.1(a) and 11.1(b) of this Agreement shall not

exceed $20,000,000 (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, for purposes of the Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 11.1(a) and 11.1(b), any of the Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any certificate or disclosure letter that are expressly qualified as to “material”, “material respects”, “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or words of similar import or effect shall be determined with regard to such materiality qualifiers contained in the terms of such representation and warranty but if such representation or warranty is breached (after taking into consideration such materiality qualifiers) then the amount of Purchaser Damages related to such breach shall be determined without regard to such materiality qualifiers.

(b) Except as provided in Section 11.3(c), no Claim for indemnification under Section 11.2(a) or 11.2(b) shall be made against the Purchaser unless (i) the aggregate amount of Seller Damages per individual Claim exceeds the Claim Threshold and any such individual Claims for amounts less than the Claim Threshold shall be ignored in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded and thereafter (except for a series of Claims related to the same facts and circumstances, in which case the amount of each individual Claim in the series may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the Claim Threshold has been satisfied) and (ii) the aggregate amount of Seller Damages exceeds the Deductible, in which event a Seller Indemnified Party may claim indemnification for the amount of Seller Damages in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, subject to Section 11.3(c), the Purchaser’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 11.2(a) or 11.2(b) of this Agreement shall not exceed the Cap. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, for purposes of the Purchaser’s and Just Energy’s respective indemnification obligations under Section 11.2(a) and 11.2(b), any of the Purchaser’s and Just Energy’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any certificate or disclosure letter that are expressly qualified as to “material”, “material respects”, “materiality”, “material adverse effect” or words of similar import or effect shall be determined with regard to such materiality qualifiers contained in the terms of such representation and warranty but if such representation or warranty is breached (after taking into consideration such materiality qualifiers) then the amount of Seller Damages related to such breach shall be determined without regard to such materiality qualifiers.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, the Claim Threshold, the Deductible and the Cap shall not apply with respect to (i) Damages suffered or incurred by the Purchaser as a result of a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1(a), 5.1(e), 5.2, 5.10(b), 5.26 or 5.27 (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”), a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement arising out of fraud on the part of the Seller (or FRH prior to the Closing) or any indemnification obligation of the Seller pursuant to Section 11.1(c), Section 11.1(d) or Section 11.1(e), provided, however, the aggregate obligation of the Seller to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to such matters shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price, plus the amount of the Earnout Proceeds and the value of the Earnout Shares actually received by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.5; and (ii) Damages suffered or incurred by the Seller as a result of a breach of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.10 or 6.13 (collectively, the “Purchaser Fundamental Representations”), a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement arising out of fraud on the part of the Purchaser or Just Energy or any indemnification obligation of the Purchaser

pursuant to Section 11.2(c); provided, however, the Purchaser’s aggregate obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to such matters shall not exceed an amount equal to the Purchase Price, plus the amount of the Earnout Proceeds and the value of the Earnout Shares actually received by the Seller pursuant to Section 3.5.

(d) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY INDEMNIFYING PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DAMAGES ARISING UNDER OR IN RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED WITHIN A CLAIM AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION IS AVAILABLE UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE INDEMNIFYING PARTY SHALL ONLY BE LIABLE TO THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY FOR ACTUAL AND DIRECT DAMAGES, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE PARTIES THAT ANY DAMAGES PAID TO A THIRD PARTY BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM INDEMNIFIABLE HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSIDERED ACTUAL DAMAGES OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY.

(e) The Damages giving rise to any indemnification obligation shall be calculated net of the amount of any insurance proceeds or other such funds actually received by the Indemnified Party, net of any applicable deductible or self-insurance retention and all direct collection expenses and reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in obtaining such recovery; provided, however, that in no event shall it be a prerequisite for such Indemnified Party to make any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article XI or a condition to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party in respect of any such claim that the Indemnified Party seek or successfully enforce any right of recovery against a third party. The Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party promptly of any such proceeds or payment actually received by the Indemnified Party with respect to any Damages under this Article XI, and if the Indemnifying Party has previously made any payment to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Damages under this Article XI, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay any amount obtained thereby to the Indemnifying Party to the extent of such amount being previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any Claim for which it is seeking indemnification and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to minimize any costs or expenses associated with such Claim.

11.4 Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event that subsequent to the Closing any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion of any Claim or of the commencement of any action or proceeding (other than a Tax Claim) by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a Party to this Agreement (including to any Governmental Entity) (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party, with respect to which a Party to this Agreement is or may be required to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall give written notice

specifying the nature of such Claim in reasonable detail and the amount or estimated amount thereof if known (which amount or estimated amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount, if any, of such Claim) (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable, and in no event later than ten (10) days, after learning of such Claim; provided, however, the failure of a Party to provide timely notice hereunder shall not preclude its Claim for indemnification under this Agreement except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to provide timely notice. Subject to Section 11.4(e), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party (the “Defense Notice”) within ten (10) days after receipt from the Indemnified Party of notice of such Claim, which notice by the Indemnifying Party shall specify the counsel it will appoint to defend such Claim (“Defense Counsel”), to conduct at its expense the defense against such Claim in its own name, or if necessary, in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve the Defense Counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and in the event the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot agree upon such counsel within five (5) Business Days after the Defense Notice is provided, then the Indemnifying Party shall propose an alternate Defense Counsel, which shall be subject again to the Indemnified Party’s approval as provided in this Section 11.4(a). Provided that the Indemnifying Party has received a Claim Notice with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 11.4(a).

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall fail to assume the defense pursuant to Section 11.4(a), it shall be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject Claim, and in such event the Indemnified Party shall have the right to conduct such defense and to compromise and settle the Claim without prior consent of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all costs, expenses, settlement amounts or other Damages paid or incurred in connection therewith to the extent the Indemnifying Party is required to provide indemnification under this Agreement.

(c) In the event that the Indemnifying Party does assume the defense pursuant to Section 11.4(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to conduct such defense and, except as provided in Section 11.4(d), to settle the Claim without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, all at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing, provided that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise and settle the Claim only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement related to an Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (i) if such judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a release of such Indemnified Party from all liability in respect to such Claim; (ii) if such judgment or settlement would result in the finding or admission of any violation of applicable

Law against such Indemnified Party; or (iii) if as a result of such judgment or settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against such Indemnified Party or such judgment or settlement would materially interfere with or adversely affect the business, operations or assets of such Indemnified Party.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control the defense or settlement of any Claim (and the cost of such defense and any Damages with respect to such Claim shall constitute an amount for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder) if (i) the Claim for indemnification is with respect to a criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such Claim; or (iii) the Claim seeks an injunction or other extraordinary relief against the Indemnified Party.

11.5 Procedures for Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a Claim for indemnification against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim or a Tax Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim made pursuant to this Section 11.5 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to provide timely notice it being understood that notices for Claims in respect of a purported breach of a representation or warranty must be delivered prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation or warranty under Section 11.6. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article XI, or the amount thereof, the Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article XI, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Claim (or any portion of the Claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Claim (or such portion of such Claim) is determined.

11.6 Survival; Time to Assert Claims. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein will not be extinguished by the Closing but will survive the Closing, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.6 with respect to the time periods within which Claims for indemnity must be asserted. All Claims for indemnification under this Article XI must be asserted no later than eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Claims with respect to Damages arising out of or related in any way to the Seller Fundamental Representations or the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation (as the same may be tolled, extended or waived); provided, further, that Claims with respect to Purchaser Damages arising out of or related in any way to the Specific Indemnification Matters shall survive without limitation. The covenants and agreements of the Parties hereunder shall survive until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation (as the same may be tolled, extended or waived). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day a Claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified pursuant to the terms herein of a Claim for indemnity hereunder and such

Claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such Claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such Claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof. The representations and warranties of FRH contained herein shall terminate as of the Closing and shall not survive it.

11.7 Treatment of Indemnification Payment. Any payment made after the Closing pursuant to indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes, including federal, state and local Tax and financial accounting purposes.

11.8 Recourse.

(a) In the event of Purchaser Damages, the Purchaser shall first seek recourse against the Escrow Funds or the Letter of Credit, if applicable, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.8. If there is not a sufficient amount of Escrow Funds or amount under the Letter of Credit available for the satisfaction of such Purchaser Damages, then the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties on demand the amount of such Purchaser Damages by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(b) In the event of any Purchaser Damages, the Purchaser shall deliver written notice to the Seller (in addition to any other notices required pursuant to Section 11.4 or 11.5) setting forth (i) the Purchaser’s good faith estimate of the amount of the Purchaser Damages and (ii) the proposed effective date of the release of the Escrow Funds or draw on the Letter of Credit to satisfy the amount of the Purchaser Damages. Unless such amount of Purchaser Damages is contested by the Seller, the Purchaser Damages shall be satisfied in full by a release of a portion of the Escrow Funds to the Purchaser or a draw on the Letter of Credit and a reduction in the number of Earnout Shares to be issued to the Seller. For purposes of calculating the number of Earnout Shares equal to the amount of the Purchaser Damages to be satisfied by a reduction thereof, each Earnout Share shall be valued based on the then per share price as listed on the TSX as of the actual date of the release of Escrow Funds to satisfy the Purchaser Damages, and such per share price shall be converted from Canadian dollars to United States dollars based on the average noon spot rate (Eastern Time) published by the Bank of Canada for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day immediately preceding the date of notice to the Seller. In addition, for purposes of satisfying any Purchaser Damages, the Escrow Funds, the Letter of Credit and the Earnout Shares to which the Seller is entitled to receive shall be reduced on a pro rata and pari passu basis.

(c) If the Purchaser draws on the Letter of Credit prior to complying with the notice procedures of Section 11.8(b), or while the amount of Purchaser Damages remains disputed by the Seller, all drawn amounts paid to the Purchaser shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent, in escrow, as additional Escrow Funds.

11.9 Set-Off. The Purchaser shall be entitled to set off any amount or right it may be entitled to under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents against any amount, right or obligation owed to the Company Group or the Seller under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

11.10 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) THE PURCHASER AND JUST ENERGY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS FOR COMMON LAW FRAUD OR FOR INTENTIONAL BREACH OF A COVENANT OR AGREEMENT, THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE DEDUCTIBLES, LIABILITY LIMITS AND SURVIVAL PERIODS SET FORTH ABOVE, ARE INTENDED TO BE, AND SHALL BE, THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE PURCHASER AND JUST ENERGY AFTER THE CLOSING WITH RESPECT TO ANY ASPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THE PURCHASER AND JUST ENERGY HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE AND DISCHARGE, THE SELLER AND COVENANTS NOT TO ▇▇▇ OR OTHERWISE ASSERT ANY RIGHTS, REMEDIES OR RECOURSE WITH RESPECT TO, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM NOT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW; PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF THE PURCHASER OR JUST ENERGY TO SEEK EQUITABLE REMEDIES (INCLUDING SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF) IN ANY CASE OR TO SEEK OTHER DAMAGES IN THE CASE OF CLAIMS FOR COMMON LAW FRAUD OR FOR INTENTIONAL BREACH OF A COVENANT OR AGREEMENT.

(b) THE SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS FOR COMMON LAW FRAUD OR FOR INTENTIONAL BREACH OF A COVENANT OR AGREEMENT, THE REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE DEDUCTIBLES, LIABILITY LIMITS AND SURVIVAL PERIODS SET FORTH ABOVE, ARE INTENDED TO BE, AND SHALL BE, THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE SELLER AFTER THE CLOSING WITH RESPECT TO ANY ASPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THE SELLER HEREBY RELEASES, WAIVES AND DISCHARGES, THE PURCHASER AND JUST ENERGY AND COVENANTS NOT TO ▇▇▇ OR OTHERWISE ASSERT ANY RIGHTS, REMEDIES OR RECOURSE WITH RESPECT TO, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM NOT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW; PROVIDED THAT THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO LIMIT THE RIGHTS OF THE SELLER TO SEEK EQUITABLE REMEDIES (INCLUDING SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF) IN ANY CASE OR TO SEEK OTHER DAMAGES IN THE CASE OF CLAIMS FOR COMMON LAW FRAUD OR FOR INTENTIONAL BREACH OF A COVENANT OR AGREEMENT.

13.11 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division), unless such court declines the exercise of jurisdiction, in which case the courts of the State of Texas (▇▇▇▇▇▇ County), for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and the Parties agree

not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered or certified mail to such Party’s principal place of business shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the Parties in any such court. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, in the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division) or the State of Texas (▇▇▇▇▇▇ County), as applicable, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives its right and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE EACH OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES TO WAIVE, AND COVENANTS THAT NEITHER IT NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES WILL ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 13.12 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

13.13 Dispute Resolution. Except for any matters under Section 3.4, Section 3.5 or Section 3.8 of this Agreement that are subject to resolution by the Audit Firm, should there be any ambiguity, contradiction or inconsistency in this Agreement, or should any disagreement, controversy or dispute arise out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transaction Documents between the Parties, the component representatives of the Parties shall first attempt in good faith amicably to settle the matter by mutual negotiations. If the matter has not been settled after such negotiations have continued for thirty (30) days, then any Party may elect to resolve such controversy, dispute or Claim by pursuing final and binding arbitration, which shall be held exclusively in Houston, Texas, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules, as amended and in effect from time to time, of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”), using its expedited procedures. The law applicable during the arbitration of any controversy, dispute or Claim shall be both the Rules and the applicable Laws of the State of New York. The arbitrator shall have the power to order injunctive relief or provide further equitable remedies. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a Party from seeking injunctive relief before any court in Houston, Texas, pending resolution of an arbitration in the event that a Party would be irreparably harmed pending the outcome of the arbitration. Upon the resolution of any arbitration, the Parties agree that any court order obtained shall be modified or dismissed to comply with the ruling of the arbitrator. Judgment on any award granted in arbitration may be entered and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the Parties, the arbitrators and the American Arbitration Association shall treat the dispute resolution proceedings provided for herein, any related disclosures and the decisions of

the arbitrators as confidential, except in connection with judicial proceedings ancillary to the dispute resolution proceedings, such as a judicial challenge to, or enforcement of, the arbitral award, and unless otherwise required by Law to protect a legal right of a Party.

13.14 Public Announcements. The Parties agree that no public release, announcement or any other disclosure concerning any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be made or issued by any Party without the prior written consent of the Purchaser and the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except to the extent such release, announcement or disclosure may be required by applicable Law, and in the case of the Purchaser, the requirements of the TSX, in which case the Party required to make the release, announcement or disclosure shall, to the extent practicable in the circumstances, use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to allow the Purchaser or the Seller, as the case may be, reasonable time to comment on such release, announcement or disclosure in advance of such issuance or disclosure.

13.15 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. With the exception of the Parties to this Agreement and the Seller Indemnified Parties and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, and except as provided in Section 13.3, there shall exist no right of any Person to claim a beneficial interest in this Agreement or any rights occurring by virtue of this Agreement.

13.16 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect against any Party, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall only apply to such Party in the specific jurisdiction where such judgment shall be made, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, except that this Agreement shall not be reformed in any way that will deny to any Party the essential benefits of this Agreement, unless such Party waives in writing its rights to such benefits.

13.17 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties will use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take all actions and to do all things necessary following the Closing to consummate and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13.18 Currency. All payments hereunder or contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. currency.

13.19 Enforcement. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specified terms.

NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT

THIS NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the [ ] day of [ ], 2011, by and between JUST ENERGY (U.S.) CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), and [ ] (the “Restricted Party”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Purchaser, Just Energy Group Inc., Fulcrum Retail Holdings LLC and Fulcrum Power Services L.P., a Texas limited partnership (the “Seller”), the Purchaser has agreed to purchase all of the Units of FRH from the Seller (the “Transaction”);

WHEREAS, the Restricted Party is a key employee of the Company Group and has detailed knowledge of the Company Group’s business and other confidential and proprietary information of the Company Group;

WHEREAS, the Restricted Party has a material economic interest in the consummation of the Transaction, and to induce the Purchaser to consummate the Transaction, the Restricted Party has agreed to enter into this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, to protect trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information related to the Business and the Purchaser, the Purchaser and the Restricted Party have agreed that the Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to the condition, among others, that the Restricted Party shall have entered into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, do hereby covenant, agree, represent and stipulate as follows:

Nondisclosure.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any data or information, whether or not in writing, that is valuable to the Purchaser or the Company Group and is not generally known by the public. To the extent consistent with the foregoing, Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: (i) information about the business practices and customers of the Company Group (including, but not limited to, mailing lists, customer lists and records), financial information, business strategies, marketing plans, the type and volume of the business of the Company Group, personnel information, information about the Company Group’s vendors and strategic partners, price lists, pricing policies, pricing

information, research and development techniques and activities of the Company Group, and all information located in the books and records of the Company Group, and (ii) confidential information related to the Purchaser’s business and operations, such information having been disclosed or otherwise made available to the Restricted Party during the course of the negotiations relative to the Transaction. Confidential Information also includes any information or data described above that the Company Group or the Purchaser obtain from another party and that the Company Group or the Purchaser treat as proprietary or reasonably designate as confidential information whether or not owned or developed by the Company Group or the Purchaser. The Restricted Party acknowledges that he has had access to, and intimate knowledge of, the Confidential Information. Accordingly, the Restricted Party agrees that from and after the Closing Date until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Restricted Party shall not use or disclose, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the Confidential Information; provided, however, that the Restricted Party shall be permitted to use the Confidential Information for the benefit of the Purchaser and the Company Group as necessary in connection with his performance under that certain Employment Agreement dated as of the Closing Date, by and between the Restricted Party and FRH (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Employment Agreement”).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Restricted Party shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 1(a) with respect to information that:

(i) becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of disclosure by the Restricted Party or the breach by the Restricted Party of his obligations under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Purchase Agreement;

(ii) becomes available to the Restricted Party on a non-confidential basis from a source that lawfully obtained such information and is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with any member of the Company Group, the Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates; or

(iii) is required by applicable Law to be disclosed, in which case the Restricted Party shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing.

2. Trade Secrets. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter, supersede or eliminate the applicable Law, rights and remedies that the Purchaser may have pursuant to any applicable Law pertaining to trade secrets, which Law, rights and remedies shall be in addition to the obligations and rights of the parties hereunder.

3. Covenant Not to Solicit or Compete.

(a) The Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that he has (i) intimate knowledge of the Business, including but not limited to, knowledge of the Confidential Information, and (ii) knowledge of and relationships with the customers, vendors, suppliers and referral sources of the Business, and that such knowledge and relationships are such that if the Restricted Party were to compete with the Purchaser within the territories defined below at any time during the Restricted Period (as defined below), the value of the Transaction to the

Purchaser, and the benefits that the Purchaser bargained for under the Purchase Agreement, would be severely and irreparably damaged. Further, the Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement, and the covenants not to solicit or compete contained herein, are a fundamental element of the Transaction, and that the Transaction would not have been consummated in the absence of this Agreement. Accordingly, the Restricted Party agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Restricted Party shall not, and the Restricted Party shall ensure that his affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, either individually, in partnership, jointly, or in conjunction with, or on behalf of, any Person, other than for the direct benefit of the Purchaser or its affiliates:

(i) (A) engage in the Restricted Business (as defined below) within the Restricted Territory or (B) otherwise obtain any interest in, advise, lend money to, guarantee the debts or obligations of, or perform services in either a supervisory or managerial capacity or as an advisor, consultant or independent contractor for, or otherwise participate in the ownership, management or control of, any Person that is engaged in the Restricted Business within the Restricted Territory, except that the Restricted Party may own not more than three percent (3%) of the capital stock of any Person whose stock is traded on NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange, even if such Person is in the Restricted Business, provided that such investment is completely passive in nature;

(ii) solicit or contact any Restricted Customer, for the purpose of providing products or services within the Restricted Territory that are the same as, or similar to, those provided by the Company Group or the Purchaser;

(iii) solicit, induce or encourage any Restricted Customer to terminate or modify any business relationship with the Company Group or the Purchaser;

(iv) solicit, induce or encourage any Key Affinity Partner to terminate or modify any business relationship with the Company Group or the Purchaser;

(b) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Restricted Business” means the business of procuring, selling, scheduling, bidding, marketing and otherwise supplying electricity, natural gas and related services and products and environmental services and products, including carbon offsets, carbon credits, renewable energy certificates or attributes and the equivalents thereof, in each case to

commercial, industrial and residential customers, including under long-term fixed-price or price-protected contracts [; provided, however, that “Restricted Business” shall not include (A) wholesale electricity purchases, sales, and bidding related to the Batesville Generation Facility (the “Batesville Facility”); (B) administrative activities including accounting and settlement services related to the Batesville Facility; (C) environmental services and products including carbon offsets to the Batesville Facility; (D) energy management services to the REPs pursuant to the REP Contracts; (E) QSE scheduling, settlement and load forecasting services to the REPs pursuant to the REP Contracts; (F) providing scheduling, settlement and load forecasting services to the REPs pursuant to the REP Contracts; and (G) procurement and sale of excess wholesale power on behalf of the REPs (as agent) pursuant to the REP Contracts; provided, further, that the services described in the foregoing subsections (D), (E), (F) and (G) (collectively, the “Wholesale Energy Management Services”) that are provided to each REP shall be excluded from “Restricted Business” solely for the term of the REP Contract with such REP]¹.

(ii) “Restricted Period” means the period of time commencing on the Closing Date and ending upon the third (3^rd) annual anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event that the Restricted Party’s employment with the Company Group is terminated by FRH or the applicable member of the Company Group without “Cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or by the Restricted Party for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) during the Earnout Period, then the “Restricted Period” shall be for a period of one (1) year from the date of such termination of employment.

4. Limitations.

(a) The Restricted Party’s involvement with the Company Group and the Purchaser pursuant to and consistent with the Employment Agreement shall not be deemed a violation of Section 3 of this Agreement.

(b) [Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Restricted Party shall cease to engage in the Wholesale Energy Management Services no later than [ ], 2013², and any engagement in the Wholesale Energy Management Services from and after such time shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement and shall constitute a violation thereof.]³

5. Remedies for Breach.

(a) The Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that his breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 1 and Section 3 of this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Purchaser and that remedies at Law of the Purchaser for any actual or threatened breach by the Restricted Party of such covenants would be inadequate; therefore, the Restricted

¹	Bracketed language be included only in the agreements of the individuals identified with an asterisk (*) on Section 10.8 of the Company Group Disclosure Letter.

²	Insert date that is two years from date of this Agreement.

³	Bracketed language be included only in the agreements of the individuals identified with an asterisk (*) on Section 10.8 of the Company Group Disclosure Letter.

Party further acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall be entitled to specific performance of the covenants in such sections or injunctive relief against activities in violation of such sections, or both, by temporary or permanent injunction or other appropriate judicial remedy, writ or order, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond. This provision with respect to injunctive relief shall not diminish the right of the Purchaser to claim and recover damages against the Restricted Party for any breach of this Agreement, in addition to injunctive relief. Accordingly, in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, may elect to pursue injunctive relief or monetary damages, or both.

(b) If any litigation or other court action, arbitration or similar adjudicatory proceeding is commenced by any party hereto to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other party, all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing party in such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the losing party; provided, that if a party to such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding prevails in part, and loses in part, the court, arbitrator or other adjudicator presiding over such litigation, action, arbitration or proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party on an equitable basis. The Restricted Party shall indemnify the Purchaser from and against any and all actions, suits, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees) arising out of or in connection with any breach or threatened breach by the Restricted Party of any one or more provisions of this Agreement.

(c) The Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Section 1 and Section 3 of this Agreement shall be construed as agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement or any other contract or agreement between the parties hereto and that the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Restricted Party against the Purchaser, whether predicated upon this or any other contract or agreement, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Purchaser of said covenants.

6. Reasonableness. The Restricted Party has carefully considered the nature and extent of the restrictions upon him and the rights and remedies conferred on the Purchaser under this Agreement, and the Restricted Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the description of the Restricted Territory embodies locations where the Restricted Party understands that the Purchaser currently conducts the Business or reasonably expects to conduct the Business in accordance with its current business plan;

(b) the Restricted Party understands that the Purchaser and the Company Group intend to expand the geographic scope of the Business after Closing, and the potential geographic expansion of the Business is a significant portion of the value for which the Purchaser is paying pursuant to the Purchase Agreement;

(c) the restrictions and covenants contained herein, and the rights and remedies conferred up on the Purchaser, are necessary to protect the goodwill and other value of the Company Group and the benefits bargained for by the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement; and

(d) the restrictions placed upon the Restricted Party hereunder are narrowly drawn, are fair and reasonable in time and territory, will not prevent him from earning a livelihood, and place no greater restraint upon the Restricted Party than is reasonably necessary to secure the goodwill and other value of the Company Group and the benefits bargained for by the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement.

7. Additional Acknowledgments by the Restricted Party.

(a) The Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that any portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement does not in any way reflect, nor is in any way intended to reflect, (i) the value of the overall legal consideration being given to the Seller for such covenants or (ii) the amount of monetary damages that would adequately compensate the Purchaser or its Affiliates for any violation or attempted violation of any of the Restricted Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Accordingly, the Restricted Party agrees to not assert the foregoing as a defense to any such violation or attempted violation nor assert any of the foregoing as relevant to determining adequacy of consideration or monetary damages for any such violation or attempted violation.

(b) The Restricted Party acknowledges and agrees that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement by Just Energy and the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement shall be valid and adequate consideration for the covenants set forth in this Agreement. Accordingly, the Seller hereby waives, to the greatest extent permissible by applicable Law, inadequacy of consideration as a defense to any violation or attempted violation of any of the Restricted Party’s obligations hereunder.

8. Invalidity of Any Provision. Because the parties hereto seek to protect the goodwill and Confidential Information of the Purchaser and the Company Group, it is the intention of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies of each state and jurisdiction in which such enforcement is sought, but that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform with such laws or public policies) of any provision hereof shall not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of this Agreement, which shall be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the invalid or unenforceable provisions. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any of the covenants contained in this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the duration or geographical scope of such provision, the parties agree that the court or arbitral tribunal making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration or scope of such provision, as the case may be, or delete specific words or phrases, and, in its reduced form, such provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the applicable laws of the State of New York.

10. Jurisdiction and Venue. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division), unless such court declines the exercise of jurisdiction, in which case the courts of the State of Texas (▇▇▇▇▇▇ County), for any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and the parties agree

not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered or certified mail to such party’s principal place of business shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the parties in any such court. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, in the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division) or the State of Texas (▇▇▇▇▇▇ County), as applicable, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives his or its right and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

11. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS NOT TO ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 11 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF HIS OR ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

12. Parties Bound by Agreement; Successors and Assigns. The terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and the permitted respective successors and assigns thereof. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Restricted Party may not assign his rights, duties or obligations hereunder or any part thereof to any other Person. Without the prior written consent of the Restricted Party, the Purchaser may not assign its rights, duties or obligations hereunder or any part thereof to any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall be entitled to assign all of its respective right, title and interest under this Agreement to any collateral agent for and on behalf of the senior lenders to the Purchaser and suppliers to the Purchaser (a “Collateral Assignee”), as security for the performance of obligations of the Purchaser to such senior lenders and suppliers; provided that, (a) upon written notice to the Restricted Party of Collateral Assignee’s exercise of any such security (a “Foreclosure Notice”), the Collateral Assignee (or its designee(s) identified in the Foreclosure Notice) shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights of the Purchaser hereunder; (b) the Restricted Party shall be entitled to rely unconditionally upon a Foreclosure Notice in making any payments or performance hereunder and under the Transaction Documents to or for the benefit of the Collateral Assignee (or its designee(s) identified in the Foreclosure Notice), without thereby incurring any liability to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates; (c) neither the Restricted Party nor his Affiliates shall be obligated to grant any extensions of time for performance, waive any of their rights or remedies hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, or assume any additional obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents as a result of any collateral assignment of this Agreement to a Collateral Assignee or a Collateral Assignee’s exercise of its security so granted to it by the Purchaser; and

(d) neither a collateral assignment of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser to a Collateral Assignee, nor any exercise by a Collateral Assignee of any security so granted to it by the Purchaser shall release the Purchaser from its obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Documents to which it is a party.
