Section 2.1    Sale and Purchase of the Target Equity Interests. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Closing, Parent shall cause each Seller to sell, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, free and clear of any Encumbrances other than any restrictions arising under applicable Law, and Purchaser shall purchase and receive from each Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Target Equity Interests owned by such Seller.

Section 2.2    Purchase Price.

(a)    The aggregate purchase price for the Target Equity Interests (the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the Closing Payment and (ii) the Final Net Asset Value Adjustment. The Purchase Price shall be payable and subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(b)    No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to Purchaser the Estimated Closing Statement. Purchaser shall have an opportunity to review the Estimated Closing Statement and shall be provided reasonable access to the books, records and other relevant information of Parent and its Representatives to the extent reasonably necessary to review the Estimated Closing Statement.

Section 2.3    Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a)    As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 60 days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Parent the Final Closing Statement. During

the 60-day period immediately following Parent’s receipt of the Final Closing Statement (the “Review Period”), Parent and its Representatives shall be provided reasonable access to the books, records and other relevant information of Purchaser and its Representatives to the extent reasonably necessary to review the Final Closing Statement. During the Review Period, Purchaser shall make reasonably available personnel of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) directly responsible for and knowledgeable about the information used in, and the preparation of, the Final Closing Statement in order to respond to reasonable inquiries made by Parent and its Representatives.

(b)    On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, and provided that the aggregate amount at issue is greater than or equal to $50,000, Parent may object to the Final Closing Statement by delivering to Purchaser a written statement setting forth the basis for Parent’s objections thereto (the “Statement of Objections”). If Parent fails to deliver the Statement of Objections within the Review Period, the Final Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Parent and shall be used in calculating the Adjustment Amount. If Parent delivers the Statement of Objections within the Review Period, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections, and, if the same are so resolved, the Final Closing Statement with such changes that may have been previously agreed in writing by the Parties shall be final and binding and shall be used in calculating the Adjustment Amount.

(c)    If the Parties shall fail to reach an agreement with respect to any of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections, then such unresolved matters shall, not later than 15 days after one of the Parties affirmatively terminates discussions in writing with respect to the Statement of Objections, be submitted for resolution to Ernst & Young LLP (or, if such firm shall decline or is unable to act or is not, at the time of such submission, independent of both Parent and Purchaser, to another independent accounting firm of international reputation mutually acceptable to Parent and Purchaser (either Ernst & Young LLP or such other accounting firm, the “Accounting Expert”)). The Accounting Expert shall, limiting its review to matters properly included in the Statement of Objections and acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, resolve the disputes set forth in the Statement of Objections and make any corresponding adjustments to the Final Closing Statement. Subject to, and to the extent permitted by, any applicable Laws, the Parties shall each make readily available to the Accounting Expert all relevant books, records and other information relating to the Target Companies. Each Party shall concurrently provide the other Party with copies of all such materials and information provided by such Party to the Accounting Expert. The Parties shall jointly instruct the Accounting Expert to make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the Parties shall agree in writing) after its engagement and to select, with respect to each item in dispute, an amount between or equal to Purchaser’s position on the Final Closing Statement and Parent’s position in the Estimated Closing Statement. The Accounting Expert’s resolution of the disputes set forth in the Statement of Objections and the Final Closing Statement, with any such adjustments made by the Accounting Expert, shall be final and binding and shall be used in determining the Adjustment Amount, absent manifest error. The fees of the Accounting Expert shall be divided between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, on the other hand, in proportion to the aggregate Dollar amount unsuccessfully disputed by such Party divided by the aggregate Dollar amount of items submitted to the Accounting Expert.

(d)    Within two Business Days of the later of (1) Parent’s acceptance of the Final Closing Statement or (2) the resolution of all Parent’s objections to the Final Closing Statement, to the extent that the Estimated Net Asset Value is not equal to the Final Net Asset Value:

(i)    if the Estimated Net Asset Value is greater than the Final Net Asset Value, Parent shall cause the Sellers to pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Purchaser; and

(ii)    if the Estimated Net Asset Value is less than the Final Net Asset Value, Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Parent.

The Parties agree that any such payment pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for the Target Equity Interests for Tax purposes.

Section 2.4    Purchase Price Allocation. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Purchaser and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) allocate the Purchase Price among the Target Equity Interests as set forth in Part 2 of Schedule A. Each of Purchaser and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) report the purchase and sale of the Target Equity Interests consistent with such allocation for Canadian and U.S. federal income Tax purposes except to the extent the relevant jurisdiction requires a different treatment.

Section 2.5    Closing. The sale and purchase of the Target Equity Interests will take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, 125 Broad St., New York, New York, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day of the month following the calendar month in which the last of the conditions set forth in Article VI has been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their terms, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction of those conditions), or on such other date or at such other time and place as the Parties may mutually agree.

Section 2.7    Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, or caused to be withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Government Authority within the time required and in accordance with applicable tax Law. Parent and Purchaser confirm that, pursuant to (i) applicable Laws enacted prior to the date hereof and in force on the date hereof, (ii) any proposed amendments to such Laws publicly announced in writing by the relevant Government Authorities prior to the date hereof and proposed to be effective in respect of payments made on or after the date hereof and (iii) the accuracy of the representations in Section 3.8(j) and Section 3.8(k), no Tax is required to be withheld from the payment of the Purchase Price by the Purchaser, and unless there is a change in applicable Law

prior to Closing, the Purchaser shall not withhold any amount from the payment of the Purchase Price.

Section 5.3    Cooperation.

(a)    The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on their respective parts under this Agreement and applicable Laws to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article VI and to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents with the intent of effecting the Closing as promptly as practicable, including preparing and filing all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, waivers, orders, interpretive guidance, exemptions, Permits and authorizations necessary to be obtained from any Government Authority (including the Required Governmental Approvals) in order to consummate the transactions; provided, however, that each Party agrees to, and to cause its respective Affiliates to, reasonably consult with each other in advance of any filing, and agrees to consider and reasonably take into account the views of the other Party in connection with each such filing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, make timely and as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than 30 calendar days after the date hereof) all filings and submissions required under any applicable Law in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, and file promptly any additional information requested under any applicable Law in connection therewith, after receipt of the request therefor.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of this Section 5.3, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and shall each furnish to the other all information reasonably necessary or desirable in connection with making any application or other filing required to be made pursuant to any applicable Law, and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry by any Government Authority under any applicable Laws, in each case, with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Party shall as promptly as reasonably practicable inform the other of any communication with or from, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Government Authority regarding such applications and filings. Neither Party nor any of their respective Representatives shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Government Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Government Authority, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to provide Parent or its counsel with an opportunity to attend and/or participate in any meetings, conference calls or other communications that may be held with OSFI in connection with approvals required under the Bank Act or the TLCA; provided, further, that Purchaser shall, as promptly as practicable, provide

reports on such meetings, conference calls or other communications to Parent or its counsel, which reports shall include a comprehensive summary of the subject matter of such meetings, calls and communications, including any issues, questions or concerns raised in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties shall consult and reasonably cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of either Party in connection with all meetings, actions and proceedings under or relating to any applicable Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, with respect to making a particular filing, by providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing Party prior to filing, giving due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith); provided, however, that in respect of the approvals required under the Bank Act or the TLCA, any confidential information shall be redacted and provided only to legal counsel to the Parent. Any such provision of information by one Party to the other may be made on a counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable Law, and any such materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Target Companies, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns or (iv) as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable Law.

(c)    Without limiting the generality of this Section 5.3, Purchaser agrees to use its reasonable best efforts (1) to obtain any and all consents, registrations, approvals, waivers, orders, interpretive guidance, exemptions, Permits and authorizations necessary to be obtained from any Government Authority (including the Required Governmental Approvals) to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur prior to the Outside Date and (2) to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment to obtaining any and all consents, registrations, approvals, waivers, orders, interpretive guidance, exemptions, Permits and authorizations necessary to be obtained from any Government Authority (including the Required Governmental Approvals) to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur prior to the Outside Date.

(d)    The Parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of any material notices or other communications received by either Party or its Affiliates (as the case may be) or, to its Knowledge, its Representatives from any Government Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law. The Parties shall give prompt notice to each other of any development or combination of developments that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to prevent, materially delay or materially impair its respective ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the failure to satisfy a condition to the Closing set forth in Article VI; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

Section 5.4    Pre-Closing Restructuring. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to effect the Restructuring in a manner that is reasonably satisfactory to each Party. Parent agrees to keep Purchaser reasonably informed regarding the timing

and actions made in connection with the Restructuring. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent’s obligation pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be subject to the filing of all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings with and obtaining all consents, registrations, approvals, waivers, orders, interpretive guidance, exemptions, Permits and authorizations from all applicable Government Authorities with respect to the Restructuring. No actions undertaken by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) in connection with the Restructuring (nor the effects resulting from any such actions) shall (i) serve as the basis for a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article III (including for purposes of determining whether an indemnifiable claim for Losses exists under Article VIII) or (ii) be prohibited by Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.2. Parent or one or more of its Affiliates (other than the Target Companies) shall bear all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including any fees and Taxes) incurred in connection with the Restructuring.

Section 5.5    Access and Information.

(a)    From the date hereof until the Closing, subject to any applicable Law, Parent, in its reasonable discretion and to the extent not disruptive to the employees of the Target Companies, Target Business and the senior management of the Target Companies, shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, afford Purchaser and its Affiliates, subject to any contractual restrictions, reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the books and records of the Target Business and senior management of the Target Companies and their respective agents and auditors, in each case, to the extent reasonably required by Purchaser to ensure an orderly and efficient transition of the Target Business to Purchaser (including meetings in connection with talent identification and interviews with key employees), to prepare for the Closing and to facilitate the satisfaction of the conditions to the Closing under Article VI; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser have access to any information (i) that relates solely to any portion of the business of Parent or its Affiliates that is not being transferred pursuant to this Agreement or (ii)  in Parent’s reasonable determination, the disclosure of which would violate applicable Law, or could result in the waiver of any legal privilege. In the event that disclosing information would violate any obligation of Parent or any of its Affiliates with respect to confidentiality, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate so the information might be made available in a redacted format, or, if such redaction would result in pertinent information being omitted, Parent shall make such information available if Purchaser delivers confidentiality, and if reasonably required, indemnity, undertakings reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

(b)    Following the Closing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Purchaser agrees to provide (or cause its Affiliates to provide) Parent with all necessary access to all books and records and other documents that it acquires pursuant to this Agreement and to its assets, properties and Representatives, in each case, to the extent that such access is reasonably required by Parent or any of its Affiliates, (i) to prepare financial statements, Tax filings or regulatory filings of Parent in respect of periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) to comply with the terms of any Transaction Document, any applicable Law or request of any Government Authority, (iii) to defend or prosecute any judicial, arbitral or regulatory proceeding to which Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party relating to the business and affairs of the Target Companies prior to the Closing, or (iv)

in connection with any claim for indemnity made under or pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, subject in the case of any Confidential Information of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to Parent and its Representatives agreeing to maintain the confidentiality of such information; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent have access to any information the disclosure of which, based on advice of Purchaser’s counsel, or in Purchaser’s reasonable determination, would violate applicable Law or could result in the waiver of any legal privilege. In the event that disclosing information would violate any obligation of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with respect to confidentiality, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate so the information might be made available in a redacted format, or, if such redaction would result in pertinent information being omitted, Purchaser shall make such information available if Parent delivers confidentiality, and if reasonably required, indemnity, undertakings reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to (or to cause its Affiliates to) retain and preserve all books and records and all other documents that it and its Affiliates acquire pursuant to this Agreement for at least eight years following the Closing Date (or longer if required by applicable Law).

Section 5.6    Confidentiality.

(s)    Sections 3, 4, 5 and 11 of the Confidentiality Agreement shall cease to have any force or effect as of the Closing Date.

(t)    Subject to Section 5.7 and Section 5.6(c), from and after the Closing Date, (i) each Party that receives or obtains Confidential Information, or whose Affiliates receive or obtain Confidential Information (collectively, the “Receiving Party”), from the other Party or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”) as a result of entering into this Agreement (or any agreement entered into pursuant to this Agreement) shall treat such Confidential Information as confidential and shall not disclose or use any such Confidential Information except as provided herein.

(u)    Section 5.6(b) shall not prohibit disclosure or use of any Confidential Information if and to the extent: (i) the disclosure or use is required by Law, any Government Authority or any recognized stock exchange on which the Equity Interests of the Receiving Party or its Affiliates are listed (provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, prior to such disclosure or use the Receiving Party shall (A) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of such requirement and provide the Disclosing Party with a list of Confidential Information to be disclosed and (B) reasonably cooperate in obtaining a protective order covering, or confidential treatment for, such Confidential Information), (ii) the disclosure is to any Government Authority having jurisdiction over the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates in connection with ordinary course discussions with, and examinations by, such Government Authority, (iii) disclosed to any Government Authority with jurisdiction over the Receiving Party or its Affiliates (provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, prior to such disclosure the Receiving Party shall (A) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of such requirement and provide the Disclosing Party with a list of Confidential Information to be disclosed and (B) reasonably cooperate in obtaining a protective order covering, or confidential treatment for, such Confidential Information), (iv) the disclosure or use is required for the purpose of any judicial proceedings arising out of this Agreement or any other agreement entered into under or pursuant to this Agreement or the disclosure is made in connection with the Tax affairs of the

Disclosing Party, (v) the disclosure is made to the Receiving Party’s Representatives on a need-to-know basis (with the understanding that the Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach by its Representatives of this Section 5.6), (vi) the Confidential Information is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of a disclosure, directly or indirectly, by the Receiving Party or its Representatives), (vii) the Confidential Information is already in the Receiving Party’s possession (provided that such Confidential Information is not known by the Receiving Party to be subject to another confidentiality obligation), (viii) the Confidential Information is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party (provided that such sources are not known by the Receiving Party to be subject to another confidentiality obligation), (ix) in the case of disclosure or use by Purchaser and its Affiliates, the Confidential Information relates exclusively to the Target Companies and is independently developed after the Closing, or (x) the disclosure or use of such Confidential Information is made with the Disclosing Party’s prior written approval.

Section 5.7    Announcements. Neither Party shall, and they shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, issue any press release or make any general employee communication or public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement until the Closing Date without the prior review and written approval of the other Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit such disclosure if required by Law, any Government Authority or any recognized stock exchange on which the Equity Interests of either Party or any of their respective Affiliates are listed (in which case the applicable Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party before making the disclosure and to allow such other Party to review the text of the disclosure before it is made). Without limiting the reach of the preceding sentence, the Parties shall cooperate to develop all public announcement materials and general employee communications and make appropriate management available at presentations related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as reasonably requested by the other Party.

Section 5.8    Insurance.

(f)    With respect to the Target Businesses, Parent shall (i) keep, or cause to be kept, all Insurance Policies or suitable replacements therefor (with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are substantially similar in all material respects to the existing policies or otherwise consistent with the market practice of businesses of a similar size and type), in full force and effect through the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to protect the rights of the insured Persons under such insurance policies or replacements in all material respects, including by causing said insured Persons to (A) pay or otherwise satisfy or have satisfied any unpaid premiums when due with respect to any period ending at or prior to the Closing, (B) provide any reasonably required notices (including renewal notices or, if applicable, other documentation reasonably required to continue in full force and effect the Insurance Policies) to the issuers thereof, and (C) act reasonably in respect of any decision whether to submit and pursue claims on a timely basis under the Insurance Policies.

(g)    Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Target Companies) will not have access to, and shall not be permitted to make any claims under, any of Parent’s or any of

its Affiliate’s insurance policies and programs with respect to any events or circumstances, including events or circumstances relating to the Target Business that occurred or existed prior to the Closing.

Section 5.9    Interest in Intellectual Property.

(e)    Except as specifically provided in this Section 5.9 or the Transitional Trademark License Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that none of Purchaser or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Target Companies) is purchasing, acquiring, receiving a license to or otherwise obtaining any right, title or interest in, to or under any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Target Companies), including the Parent Trademarks, but excluding the Company Trademarks.

(f)    Except as expressly permitted in the Transitional Trademark License Agreement, (i) Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (which, as of and after the Closing, shall include the Target Companies) to, cease and discontinue all uses of the Parent Trademarks, and (ii) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cease and discontinue all uses of the Company Trademarks. Purchaser, for itself and its Affiliates (which, as of and after the Closing, shall include the Target Companies), agrees that the rights of the Target Companies to the Parent Trademarks pursuant to the terms of any trademark agreements between Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Target Companies, on the other hand, shall terminate as of the Closing and be replaced by such rights as are provided by the Transitional Trademark License Agreement. Parent, for itself and its Affiliates, agrees that any of their respective rights to the Company Trademarks pursuant to the terms of any trademark agreements between Parent and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Target Companies, on the other hand, shall terminate as of the Closing and be replaced by such rights as are provided by the Transitional Trademark License Agreement.

(g)    Purchaser hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants, and will cause its Affiliates (which, as of and after the Closing, shall include the Target Companies) and its and their respective successors and assigns to covenant, not to, after the Closing, assert, initiate, file, or otherwise commence anywhere in the world any Action, or participate in or provide support for any such Action, against Parent or its Affiliates, or their respective successors or assigns or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, direct or indirect customers, users, licensees, direct or indirect suppliers, service providers, distributors, resellers or contractors (each, an “IP User”) for infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of any Intellectual Property rights in or arising from any Intellectual Property owned by any of the Target Companies as of the date of this Agreement, provided (i) that the use, and the manner of use, of any such Intellectual Property by the applicable IP User is consistent with the use, and the manner of use, of any such Intellectual Property as of the date of this Agreement, and (ii) any such use of any such Intellectual Property does not otherwise breach Section 5.14.

Section 5.10    Cooperation Regarding Transition Arrangements.

(a)    Subject to applicable Law, between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party to reasonably assist each other in planning and implementing necessary and appropriate

policies, procedures and other arrangements in connection with the transition of ownership of the Target Companies, including the services to be provided pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. As necessary in connection therewith, each Party shall designate certain of their respective employees as “Transition Coordinators” to coordinate planning and implementation contemplated by this Section 5.10(a).

(b)    The Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents and approvals and make any other notifications that may be required in connection with the provision of services and access to certain facilities as of the Closing Date pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement. The Parties agree that any costs and expenses payable to third parties (other than the respective Representatives of each of the Parties) in connection with the procurement of any such consents or waivers of third parties necessary or advisable for the provision of such services and access to such facilities shall be borne by equally by Parent and Purchaser, provided that the Parties shall cooperate to minimize such costs and expenses. If the Parties are unable to obtain any such consent or approval prior to the Closing, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as of the Closing Date, a commercially reasonable alternative to the services and access to the facilities to which such consent or approval and the costs and expenses payable to obtain such alternative (but not the costs and expenses for the ongoing receipt of such alternative services and access to the facilities) shall be borne equally by Parent and Purchaser, provided that the Parties shall cooperate to minimize such costs and expenses.

(c)    From and after the date hereof, subject to applicable Law and the reimbursement of costs as provided in this Section 5.10(c), Parent shall, and shall cause the Target Companies to, in Parent’s reasonable discretion and to the extent not disruptive to the employees of the Target Companies, reasonably cooperate in sending communications to and to arranging meetings between Purchaser and the Target Companies, on the one hand, and the Target Companies’ auto dealers or auto manufacturers, on the other hand, in each case as reasonably requested by Purchaser. The content of any such communications shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs relating to any communications sent by the Target Companies at the request of Purchaser shall be borne by Purchaser, provided Parent shall obtain Purchaser’s prior written approval before any such costs in excess of $15,000 are incurred. Subject to applicable Law, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Parent shall keep Purchaser informed and cooperate with Purchaser in connection with the efforts of the Target Companies to retain their auto dealers and auto manufacturers.

Section 5.11    Employee Matters.

(c)    Effective as of and from the Closing, each employee who is employed by any of the Target Companies as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Continuing Employees”) shall continue in employment with Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof. Subject to Section 5.11(g), for the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date, or, if longer, for the period of time required by applicable law, Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, provide to each Continuing Employee (i) base compensation and incentive compensation (including equity compensation) opportunities and welfare and retirement benefits and perquisites that, in the aggregate, are

substantially similar to the base compensation and incentive compensation (including equity compensation) opportunities and welfare and retirement benefits and perquisites provided by Parent and the Target Companies as in effect for each such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing, except with respect to pension benefits (for those Continuing Employees currently participating in a defined benefit plan) and retiree benefits (healthcare and life insurance), and (ii) severance benefits that are substantially similar to the severance benefits provided by the Target Companies to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing. Effective immediately upon the Closing, Purchaser may designate certain Continuing Employees to be eligible to participate in the benefit and compensation plans, contracts, policies and arrangements of Purchaser or its applicable Affiliates (including any benefit and compensation plans, contracts, policies and arrangements of the Target Companies maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates after the Closing) (the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”).

(d)    For purposes of vesting, benefit accrual, eligibility for benefits, vacation and sick time credit and eligibility to participate under the Purchaser Benefit Plans (but not for purposes of benefit accrual under any Purchaser Benefit Plan that is not a Target Company Benefit Plan that continues to be maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates after Closing), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Target Companies and their respective predecessors before the Closing, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Closing, to credit for such service under any similar Target Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Closing; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits, including duplication of any severance payment, with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall cause or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to cause (i) each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all Purchaser Benefit Plans to the extent coverage under any such Purchaser Benefit Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Target Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Closing (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each Purchaser Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, any evidence of insurability requirements, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Purchaser Benefit Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents. Purchaser shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding Purchaser Benefit Plan begins to be taken into account under such Purchaser Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year.

(e)    Parent shall be responsible for all payment obligations, and shall reimburse Target Companies for any payments made by the Target Companies on or after the Closing Date under the Retention Agreements except to the extent that such payment obligations are accrued or reserved for in the Final Closing Statement.

(f)    To avoid doubt, effective as of the Closing, the applicable Target Company and its Affiliates shall retain responsibility for the registered pension plan listed in Section 5.11(d) of Parent’s Disclosure Letter (the “Pension Plan”) and, subject to Section 5.11(f), shall be solely responsible for all Liabilities with respect to such Pension Plan, and shall hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates in respect of such Pension Plan.

(g)    Within 30 days of the date of this Agreement, Parent shall provide to Purchaser in writing a list of all employees of the Target Companies, including information regarding each such employee’s participation in Target Company Benefit Plans and in Parent Plans. Not less than two (2) weeks prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall provide to the Purchaser in writing (i) a list of all Continuing Employees including each such employee’s length of service, job title, salary and compensation details and information regarding participation in Target Company Benefit Plans and in Parent Plans, and (ii) a list of the sales personnel, sales support staff, credit relationship managers, dealer relationship managers and contract processing managers of the Target Companies (other than administrative personnel) (each, a “Specified Person”), together with any other employee data reasonably requested by Purchaser; provided, however, that such other employee data reasonably requested is requested in writing not less than four (4) weeks prior to the Closing Date.

(h)    Effective as of February 1, 2013, or effective on the Closing Date if earlier (in either event the “Excluded Employees Benefit Transition Date”) the Excluded Employees shall cease to accrue further benefits under and participate in any of the Target Company Benefit Plans including the Pension Plan. As soon as practicable following the date hereof, Parent shall take steps to establish and register or cause to be established and registered with the relevant pension Government Authority a registered pension plan to be effective as of the Excluded Employees Benefit Transition Date to provide pension benefits for the Excluded Employees who participated in the Pension Plan immediately prior to such date (the “Replacement Pension Plan”). As soon as the Replacement Pension Plan has been filed for registration with the relevant Government Authority, Parent shall notify the Purchaser and provide Purchaser with a copy of the Replacement Pension Plan. As soon as practicable thereafter and if possible (and if permitted by Law) prior to the Excluded Employees Benefit Transition Date, the Target Company which is the administrator of the Pension Plan shall prepare and file with the relevant Government Authority an application for approval to transfer the defined contribution account balances of the Excluded Employees from the Pension Plan to the Replacement Pension Plan (for greater certainty, the asset transfer is to include the Excluded Employees’ entire account balances, including amounts contributed up to the Excluded Employees Benefit Transition Date as well as interest and earnings following such date up to the date of the asset transfer, less any benefits or expenses paid therefrom). If the Government Authority declines to approve the asset transfer, then the account balances shall remain in the Pension Plan to be dealt with in the normal course in accordance with its terms and applicable Law. From and after the Closing, Parent shall indemnify the Target Companies and the Purchaser and its Affiliates for any costs incurred by them on and after the Closing Date in respect of such asset transfer. Parent shall also establish or cause to be established, to be effective on and after the Excluded Employees Benefit Transition Date, non-pension benefit plans (the “Excluded Employees Benefit Plans”) for the Excluded Employees who participated in the Target Company Benefit Plans (other than the Pension Plan – the “Target Company Non-Pension Plans”) immediately prior to such date. From and after

the Closing, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates, and the Target Companies, from and against any and all claims made by any of the Excluded Employees in respect of benefits under the Target Company Benefit Plans, unless such claims are paid from a Target Company Benefit Plan. Any claims incurred by the Excluded Employees prior to the Excluded Employees Benefit Transition Date and not paid prior to such date shall be covered by the Target Company Non-Pension Plans if the relevant plan is provided pursuant to insurance and not on an administrative-services only basis and the claim is covered by the relevant insurance policy; any other claims incurred by the Excluded Employees either before or on and after such date shall be covered by the Excluded Employees Benefit Plan. “Incurred” means, in relation to such claims, the date on which the event giving rise to such claim occurred and, in particular: (i) with respect to a death or dismemberment claim, shall be the date of the death or dismemberment; (ii) with respect to a short-term or long-term disability claim, shall be the date that the period of short-term or long-term disability commenced; (iii) with respect to an extended health care claim, including, without limitation, dental and medical treatments, shall be the date of the treatment; and (iv) with respect to a prescription drug or vision care claim, the date that the prescription was filled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to establish or cause to be established the Replacement Pension Plan and the Excluded Employees Benefit Plans effective January 1, 2013 (or the Closing Date if earlier); if Parent succeeds in doing so, then this Section 5.11(f) shall be read such that the Excluded Employees Benefit Transition Date is January 1, 2013 (or the Closing Date if earlier) for all purposes.

Purchaser shall make, or cause to be made, any required filings before any applicable Government Authority in connection with the foregoing.

At the request of Parent, Purchaser shall provide Parent and its Affiliates, as applicable, with letters of credit in an amount equal to Parent’s and its Affiliates’ entire potential liability pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Any such letters of credit shall be in such forms and from such counterparties as are satisfactory to Parent. Any costs or expenses in respect of the novation or assumption of any Transferred Derivative pursuant to this Section 5.12(b) shall be borne by Purchaser.

The Parties agree that, in the event that any such consent necessary or desirable to preserve for the Target Business or any of the Target Companies any right or benefit under any Contract to which a Target Company is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, Parent will, subsequent to the Closing, reasonably cooperate (for a period not to exceed four months from the Closing Date) with Purchaser and the relevant Target Company in attempting to obtain such consent as promptly thereafter as practicable; provided that Parent shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses or make any payment to any third party in connection with providing any such assistance.

Section 7.2    Purchaser Returns and Reports.

(f)    Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, when due all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Target Companies after the Closing Date. For any Taxes that are in respect of a taxable period beginning on or before and

ending after the Closing (such period, a “Straddle Period” and each Tax Return for any Straddle Period, a “Straddle Period Return”), Purchaser shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, each Straddle Period Return on a basis consistent with (i) applicable Law, (ii) the Final Closing Statement, and (iii) to the extent not inconsistent with applicable Law, the past practices and procedures of the Target Companies. Purchaser shall provide to Parent for its review a draft of each Straddle Period Return no later than 60 days in the case of an income Tax Return, and 30 days in the case of any other Tax Return, prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return with the appropriate Government Authorities. Parent shall notify Purchaser in writing within 15 days in the case of an income Tax Return, and five days in the case of any other Tax Return, after delivery of a Straddle Period Return of any reasonable comments with respect to items set forth in such Straddle Period Return. Purchaser shall consider in good faith all such comments. Purchaser shall provide a final copy of each Straddle Period Return to Parent not less than two days before the deadline to file such Straddle Period Return and Purchaser shall ensure that such Straddle Period Return is duly filed.

(g)    Parent shall pay to Purchaser all Specified Tax Liabilities by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the date of receiving notice from Purchaser that such Taxes are due. Parent shall be entitled to recover from Purchaser any amounts paid to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) to the extent that any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Government Authority of competent jurisdiction finding that such Taxes were not payable by the Target Companies.

(h)    In the case of a Straddle Period, the Taxes allocable to the portion of such period that is a Pre-Closing Period shall be:

(v)    In the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Pre-Closing Period and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the relevant Straddle Period;

(vi)    In the case of Taxes not described in (i) above (such as franchise Taxes, Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, or Taxes that are based upon occupancy or imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property), the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended at the close of the Closing Date; and

(vii)    In the case of Canadian Taxes imposed in respect of income of a partnership, the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if the taxable year of the partnership ended at the end of the Closing Date.

(i)    The Purchaser may cause the Canadian Target Companies to make the election referred to in subsection 256(9) of the Tax Act, and comparable provisions of applicable provincial or territorial legislation, and to file such election(s) for such Canadian Target Companies’ taxation year(s) ending immediately before the Closing Date.

Section 7.3    Amendments. Purchaser shall not permit any amendment, or any similar action, with respect to any Tax Return filed by the Sellers with respect to any Pre-Closing Period (if Sellers would be liable for any Losses arising from such amended returns) without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any amended Tax Return that may be required following resolution of a tax audit or other inquiry from a taxing authority conducted in accordance with the contest provisions of Section 7.4.

Section 7.4    Contest Provisions.

(v)    If a claim shall be made by any Government Authority, that, if successful, might result in a payment on behalf of Sellers to Purchaser under Section 8.2 or Section 8.4(f) (a “Tax Claim”), Purchaser shall promptly (and in any case no later than 15 days after Purchaser becomes aware of a Tax Claim) notify the Sellers with such potential liability in writing and in reasonable detail to apprise Sellers of the nature of the Tax Claim taking into account the facts and circumstances with respect to such Tax Claim (a “Tax Notice”). If a Tax Notice is not given to Sellers within such time period, such failure shall not preclude Purchaser from obtaining such indemnification but its right to indemnification shall be reduced to the extent that such delay prejudiced Sellers’ position or defense of the Tax Claim or increased the amount of liability or cost of defense.

(w)    Subject to Section 7.4(d), with respect to any Tax Claim or claim related to the Excess Tax Receivables, Sellers shall have the right, at their own sole expense, to control and conduct all proceedings and negotiations in connection with such Tax claim (including selection of counsel), and may, in their sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner. Purchaser or its designee shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and negotiations (including with counsel of its choice), at its sole expense, and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its accountants and other Representatives in connection with such participation. If Sellers elect, in their sole discretion, not to control and conduct the proceedings and negotiations in connection with a Tax Claim or a claim related to the Excess Tax Receivables, Sellers shall, within 20 days of receipt of a Tax Notice with respect to such claim, notify Purchaser in writing of their intention not to control and conduct the proceedings and negotiations in connection with such claim. In such event, Purchaser may control, or cause its designee to control, and conduct such proceedings and negotiations in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and Sellers shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and negotiations (including, without limitation, with counsel of their choice), at their sole expense, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers and their accountants and other representatives in connection with such participation; provided that Purchaser shall not settle any Tax Claim or a claim related to the Excess Tax Receivables without Sellers’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(x)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers with potential liability under Section 8.2 with respect to a Tax Claim shall not be entitled to settle such Tax Claim in the event such settlement relates to any Taxes for which such Sellers are not liable unless such Sellers notify Purchaser in writing of their intention to settle such Tax Claim at least 20 days prior to the date of such proposed settlement. If Purchaser rejects the proposed settlement, Purchaser may control, or cause its designee

to control, and conduct such proceedings and negotiations regarding such Tax Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at its sole expense, and Sellers shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and negotiations at their sole expense, and Purchaser and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with each other and with their respective accountants and other representatives in connection with such participation. In such case, any amount payable by Sellers under Section 8.2 shall be no greater than the amount of the proposed settlement rejected by Purchaser, if the amount of such proposed settlement is acceptable to the relevant Government Authority and the proposed settlement is otherwise acceptable to the Government Authority in all material respects.

(y)    With respect to any Tax Claim relating to the Tax Receivables, Parent shall have the right to control and conduct all proceedings and negotiations in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel). Purchaser or its designee shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and negotiations (including with counsel of its choice) and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its accountants and other Representatives in connection with such participation. Parent agrees that it shall dispute any Tax Claim relating to the Tax Receivables as expeditiously as possible. If Parent elects, in its sole discretion, not to control and conduct the proceedings and negotiations in connection with a Tax Claim relating to the Tax Receivables, Parent shall, within 20 days of receipt of a Tax Notice with respect to such Tax Claim, notify Purchaser in writing of its intention not to control and conduct the proceedings and negotiations in connection with such Tax Claim. In such event, Purchaser may control, or cause its designee to control, and conduct such proceedings and negotiations in such manner as it may deem appropriate, and Parent shall have the right to participate in such proceedings and negotiations (including, without limitation, with counsel of its choice), at its sole expense, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and its accountants and other representatives in connection with such participation.

Section 7.5    Transfer and Sales Taxes. Purchaser will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any transfer, documentary, stamp or other related Taxes and any recording or filing fees, including interest or penalties thereon, in each case arising from the purchase and sale of the Target Equity Interests, and will pay all such Taxes in full. If required by applicable law, Sellers will, and will cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

Section 7.6    Cooperation; Access to Records. After the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate fully in preparing for and conducting any audits of, or disputes with Tax authorities regarding, any Tax Returns, and shall provide such information as reasonably necessary for such audits, disputes or for the filing of all Tax Returns, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4. Parent shall, and shall cause each other Seller to, after the Closing, consistent with current practices of the Target Companies, retain such records, documents, accounting data and other information as are necessary for the preparation, filing and examination of Tax Returns with respect to Taxes of the Target Companies and shall make available to the other parties and to any Government Authority as reasonably requested all records, documents, accounting data and other information relating to Taxes of the Target Companies until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or the Target Companies, any extensions thereof) and shall give Purchaser reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records

and, if Purchaser so requests, Sellers shall allow Purchaser to take possession of such books and records.    

Section 7.7    No Tax Election.

(h)    Purchaser shall not make, and agrees to prevent the Target Companies from making, any tax election for U.S. income tax purposes that might adversely affect the Sellers without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, taking into account any compensation provided by Purchaser to Sellers.

(i)    Other than a tax election that is made in respect of any taxable period (including portions thereof as allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(c)) beginning after Closing or a tax election made pursuant to Section 7.2(d), Purchaser agrees to prevent the Target Companies from making, any tax election for Canadian income tax purposes that might result in an increased payment by Sellers under Article VIII without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, taking into account any compensation provided by Purchaser to Sellers.

Section 7.8    Tax Sharing. Prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall terminate any tax-sharing allocation, and indemnification agreements and arrangements of the Target Companies, and such agreements shall have no further effect for any taxable year or period (whether a past, present or future year or period), and no additional payments shall be made thereunder on or after the Closing Date with respect to any period.

Section 7.9    Income Tax Purchase Price Allocation. For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any state tax that is based upon similar principles), Purchaser and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) allocate the Purchase Price, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, among the Target Companies, or if a Target Company is treated as a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Reg. §  ###-###-####-3(b)(2)(i)(C), to the assets of such Target Company, as reasonably specified by the Parent in writing in a final Purchase Price allocation statement delivered to the Purchaser no later than 15 days after the later of (1) Parent’s acceptance of the Final Closing Statement or (2) the resolution of all Parent’s objections to the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.3(d). Parent shall deliver to Purchaser no later than 15 days after the later of (1) Parent’s acceptance of the Final Closing Statement or (2) the resolution of all Parent’s objections to the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.3(d), a draft statement setting forth its calculation of the Purchase Price, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (including a schedule setting forth any assumed liabilities constituting part of such Purchase Price), and its proposed allocation of such Purchase Price among the Target Companies and/or their assets, which calculation and allocation shall be prepared in a manner consistent with all applicable requirements of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder. If Purchaser disagrees either with the Parent’s determination or allocation of the Purchase Price set forth on such statement, Purchaser may deliver to Parent its proposed changes to such statement within 15 days of receipt thereof. Parent shall consider any such proposed changes reasonably and in good faith, accept any changes that are required by applicable Law and incorporate any such changes (and any other changes that it has agreed with Purchaser to make) in the final Purchase Price allocation statement

to be delivered as provided in the first sentence of this Section 7.9. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) file all Tax Returns for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and for purposes of any state tax that is based upon similar principles) in a manner consistent with the final Purchase Price allocation statement, taking into account any required adjustments to the Purchase Price and the allocation thereof that arise because of events that occur after the final Purchase Price allocation statement has been delivered.

Section 7.10    Refund of Tax Benefits. Purchaser shall pay to Parent, within 15 days, the amount of any refunds of Tax (other than in respect of the Tax Receivables which shall be dealt with in accordance with Section 8.4(f)) that are received by the Purchaser or the Target Companies, or any amounts credited against Tax to which Purchaser or the Target Companies become entitled, including, for certainty, any refund or amounts credited in respect of an Excess Tax Receivable, which refunds or amounts credited relate to Tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date (except to the extent shown as an asset on a balance sheet of a Target Company for purposes of, or otherwise taken into account in, calculating the Final Net Asset Value). Purchaser shall not be required to apply any Tax attributes arising in any taxable period (including portions thereof as allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(c)) beginning after Closing to any Pre-Closing Period in order to increase the amount of any Tax refund or any amounts credited against Tax which relate to Tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date.

Section 8.1    Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Parties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive in full force and effect until the date that is 540 days after the Closing Date, at which time they shall terminate (and no claims shall be made for indemnification under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 thereafter), except (a) the Parent Fundamental Representations and the Purchaser Fundamental Representations shall each survive until the end of the applicable statute of limitations and (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8 shall survive until the date that is 60 days after the relevant Government Authorities shall no longer be entitled to assess or reassess liability for Taxes against the Target Companies for the particular period to which the representation or warranty relates, having regard, without limitation, to any waivers given by the Target Companies in respect of any taxation year or taxation period, provided that if such waivers are given after the Closing Date, Parent shall have given its prior consent in writing, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to such waivers; provided, further, that any obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any Losses as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have given notice (stating the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the Indemnifying Person in accordance with Section 8.4 before the termination of such applicable survival period. The covenants and obligations that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing shall survive for the period provided in such covenants and obligations, or until fully performed, and the covenants and obligations that by their terms apply or are to be performed in their entirety on or prior to the

Closing shall terminate at the earlier of (x) the time at which they are performed and (y) immediately following the Closing.

Section 8.2    Indemnification by Parent.

(c)    After the Closing and subject to this Article VIII, Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser against, and reimburse Purchaser for, all Losses that Purchaser may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to:

(i)    as a result of or in connection with the breach of any of the representations and warranties of Parent contained in Article III (it being understood that, for purposes of determining whether any breach has occurred or calculating the amount of any Losses under this Section 8.2(a)(i), all materiality and Company Material Adverse Effect qualifications and exceptions, including the words or phrases “material”, “immaterial”, “in all material respects” or words or phrases of similar import, (except for such qualifications and exceptions (A) used to qualify a list of items rather than to qualify a statement or (B) contained in Section 3.5(ii)) contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded);

(ii)    as a result of or in connection with any breach by Parent of any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement;

(iii)    (A) that constitute a Liability for Taxes of any of the Target Companies (except as shown as a Liability or reserve on the Final Closing Statement for purposes of, or otherwise taken into account in, calculating the Final Net Asset Value) for any Pre-Closing Period (and, if such Taxes arise in a Straddle Period, as allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(c)), (B) resulting from Ally Credit Canada Limited receiving less than the full amount of the Tax Receivables from the relevant Government Authority (it being understood that any amounts applied by a Government Authority to reduce any Specified Tax Liability shall not be considered to be credited to Ally Credit Canada Limited for purposes of this Section 8.2(a)(iii)), and (C) relating to any reasonable third-party costs incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with any matters relating to Taxes in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), provided however, that such third-party costs shall not include professional fees incurred in connection with the dispute of any item herein with Parent or its Affiliates; or

(iv)    as a result of or in connection with the Sold Mortgage Business or under any Mortgage Sale Agreement, except for any Losses suffered by Purchaser as a result of or in connection with any breach or purported breach, by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date, of any covenants or obligations contained in any Mortgage Sale Agreement (including pursuant to any waiver of any provision thereof obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby); or

(v)    resulting from the Restructuring.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Purchaser against, or reimburse, or otherwise have

any liability under this Agreement to, Purchaser for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) (other than Losses in connection with any Parent Fundamental Representations) until the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s Losses for which Purchaser is finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) exceeds $22,500,000 (the “Deductible”), after which Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be obligated for all Purchaser’s Losses for which Purchaser is finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) that are in excess of the Deductible; provided that, once the aggregate amount of Purchaser’s Losses for which Purchaser is finally determined to be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) exceeds $15,000,000 (the “Sub-Deductible”), then Parent, on behalf of the Sellers, shall be obligated for all Purchaser’s Losses for which Purchaser is finally determined to be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) for Losses in connection with the representations and warranties in Section 3.8; provided that, to avoid doubt, any amounts actually paid for Losses hereunder (including under Section 8.2(a)(iii)) shall not be applied against the Deductible or the Sub-Deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Purchaser against, or reimburse, or otherwise have any liability under this Agreement to, Purchaser for any Losses (1) pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) (other than Losses in connection with any Parent Fundamental Representation) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding $400,000,000 (the “Cap”) and (2) pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii), Section 8.2(a)(iv) and Section 8.2(a)(i) (only in respect of Losses in connection with the Parent Fundamental Representations) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Purchase Price.

(e)    Solely for purposes of this Article VIII, the term “Purchaser” includes Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Target Companies) and their respective successors (if any).

Section 8.3    Indemnification by Purchaser.

(z)    After the Closing and subject to this Article VIII, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent, on behalf of itself and the Sellers, against, and reimburse Parent for, all Losses that Parent may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to:

(i)    as a result of or in connection with the breach of any of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in Article IV (it being understood that for purposes of determining whether any breach has occurred or calculating the amount of any Losses under this Section 8.3(a)(i), all materiality and Purchaser Material Adverse Effect qualifications and exceptions, including the words or phrases “material”, “immaterial”, “in all material respects” or words or phrases of similar import, contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded);

(ii)    as a result of or in connection with any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement; or

(iii)    that constitute a Liability for Taxes of any of the Target Companies for any taxable periods (including portions thereof as allocated pursuant to Section 7.2(c)) beginning after the Closing.

(aa)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Parent against, or reimburse, or otherwise have any liability under this Agreement to, Parent for any Losses pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) (other than Losses in connection with any Purchaser Fundamental Representations) with respect to any claim until the aggregate amount of Losses for which Parent is finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.3(a)(i) exceeds the Deductible, after which Purchaser shall be obligated for all the Losses for which Parent is finally determined to be otherwise entitled to indemnification under Section 8.3(a)(i) that are in excess of the Deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Parent against, or reimburse, or otherwise have any liability under this Agreement to, Parent for any Losses (1) pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) (other than Losses in connection with any Purchaser Fundamental Representation) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Cap and (2) pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(ii) and Section 8.3(a)(i) (only in respect of Losses in connection with the Purchaser Fundamental Representations) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Purchase Price.

(bb)    Solely for purposes of this Article VIII, the term “Parent” includes Parent and its Affiliates and their respective successors (if any).

Section 8.4    Claims Procedure.

(o)    Notification by the Indemnified Person. If any Person claiming indemnification under this Article VIII (the “Indemnified Person”) becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII, the Indemnified Person shall (at its own expense) promptly notify the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing of such claim, including any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Person has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted in writing by a third party against the Indemnified Person) (each, a “Third-Party Claim”), setting out the provisions under this Agreement on which such claim is based, and such other information (to the extent available) as is reasonably necessary to enable the Indemnifying Person to assess the merits of the potential claim, to make such provisions as it may consider necessary (including details of the legal and factual basis of the claim and the evidence on which the party relies (including where the claim is the result of a Third-Party Claim, evidence of the Third-Party Claim)) and setting out its estimate of the amount of Losses to the extent ascertainable which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Person from any of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person is prejudiced by such failure. The Parties agree that (i) in this Article VIII they intend to shorten, in the case of the limited survival periods specified in Section 8.1, the applicable statute of limitations period with respect to certain claims; (ii) notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation must be delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period specified in Section 8.1 for such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation; and (iii) any claims for indemnification for which notice is not timely delivered in accordance with this Section 8.4(a) shall be expressly barred and

are hereby waived; provided, further, that if, prior to such applicable date, a Party shall have notified the other Party in accordance with the requirements of this Section 8.4(a) of a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim shall continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Article VIII notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date.

(p)    Cooperation by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Person in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Person and in defending against a Third-Party Claim. In connection with any fact, matter, event or circumstance that may give rise to a claim against any Indemnifying Person under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person shall ensure that the Indemnified Person and its Affiliates, as applicable: (i) shall preserve all material evidence relevant to the claim, (ii) shall allow the Indemnifying Person and its advisers to investigate the fact, matter, event or circumstance alleged to give rise to such claim and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of such claim, and (iii) shall (at its own expense) disclose to the Indemnifying Person and its Representatives all material of which it is aware which relates to the claim and provide, and procure that its Affiliates provide (at their own expense), all such information and assistance, including access to premises and personnel, and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records, as the Indemnifying Person or its Representatives may reasonably request, subject to the Indemnifying Person and its advisers agreeing in such form as the Indemnified Person may reasonably require to keep all such information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of investigating and defending the claim in question.

(q)    Assumption of Defense of a Third-Party Claim.

(i)    Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 8.4(a) in respect of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person may, by notice to the Indemnified Person delivered within 30 Business Days of the receipt of notice of such Third-Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Person a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense (which shall not constitute a Loss); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Person shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of separate outside counsel to the Indemnified Person if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Person to participate, (ii) the named parties to any such Action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have been advised in writing by its outside counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Person that are different from, or in addition to, those available to the Indemnifying Person or (iii) outside counsel to the Indemnified Person shall have advised the Indemnified Person in writing that a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person that would make joint representation inappropriate; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Person shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus local counsel, if and to the extent applicable) for all Indemnified Persons in connection with any Third-Party Claim.

(ii)    The Indemnifying Person shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third-Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Person, and the Indemnifying Person shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge, entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from any and all Liabilities in respect of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person does not assume the defense and control of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person, subject to Section 8.4(d), may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate.

(iii)    If the Indemnifying Person elects not to assume the defense and control of any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Person of its election as herein provided, the Indemnified Person may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the other provisions of this Article VIII; provided, that the Indemnified Person shall keep the Indemnifying Person reasonably apprised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and use reasonable efforts to allow the Indemnifying Person to participate therein at its own expense; provided, further, that the Indemnified Person shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim, or admit to any liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(r)    Settlement of Claims. The Indemnified Person shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Person or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, no Indemnifying Person shall have any liability under this Article VIII for any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third-Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person.

(s)    Response to Claims Not Involving Third-Party Claims. In the event any Indemnifying Person receives a notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 8.4(a) that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall notify the Indemnified Person within 30 Business Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Person disputes its liability to the Indemnified Person under this Article VIII.

(t)    Claim by Purchaser under Section 8.2(a)(iii)(B). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the earlier of (i) the date on which Parent elects not to exercise its rights under Section 7.4(d) with respect to the control and conduct of all proceedings and negotiations in respect of any Tax Claim in respect of any Tax Receivables (“Specified Tax Receivables”), and (ii) the Tax Receivables Receipt Date for that tranche, Purchaser shall be entitled to make a claim under Section 8.2(a)(iii)(B) in respect of any portion of that tranche of the Tax Receivables that has not been

received by or credited to Ally Credit Canada Limited (other than as applied to reduce any Specified Tax Liability) as of such date (or, in case of clause (i), in respect of the Specified Tax Receivables) and shall be entitled to recover from Parent under such claim within five Business Days of making such claim. If, after payment of the full amount of all claims by Parent to Purchaser under this Section 8.4(f), Ally Credit Canada Limited receives (i) all or any portion of the Tax Receivables from the relevant Government Authority or (ii) notice from a Government Authority that all or any portion of the Tax Receivables will be applied to reduce any Tax liability of Ally Credit Canada Limited other than any Specified Tax Liability, Purchaser shall, within five Business Days of the receipt or application (the “Receipt Date”), pay to Parent an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount of Tax Receivables received by Ally Credit Canada Limited (including any interest received from the Government Authority applicable to any portion of such Tax Receivables that relates to the period after which Parent paid the amounts owing to Purchaser under this Section 8.4(f) in respect of such portion of the Tax Receivables) or applied to reduce Ally Credit Canada Limited’s Tax liability (other than any portion of the Tax Receivables applied to reduce any Specified Tax Liability) on or prior to such Receipt Date, minus (B) all amounts previously paid to Parent by Purchaser under this Section 8.4(f) in respect of the Tax Receivables plus all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the collection of such Tax Receivables (it being understood that if the difference between (A) and (B) is a negative number, no amount shall be payable to Parent).

Section 8.5    Payment. In the event a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII has been finally determined, the amount of such final determination shall be paid by the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person within two Business Days of the request therefor in immediately available funds. Any Action by or before any Government Authority or arbitral body, and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article VIII when the parties hereto have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable Government Order has been entered into with respect to such Action.

Section 8.6    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, for all purposes (including Tax purposes), the Parties shall treat any payment made under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 8.7    Provisions. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable under this Article VIII in respect of any Loss to the extent of the amount of the Loss accrued or reserved for in the Final Closing Statement.

Section 8.8    Exclusive Remedies. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) prior to the Closing, other than in the case of actual fraud by Parent, the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser for any breach of any of the representations and warranties of Parent contained in Article III shall be, in the event that each of the conditions set forth in Article VI has not been satisfied or waived, refusal to close the purchase and sale of the Target Equity Interests hereunder; (b) following the Closing, (i) the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for any breach of the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement except in the case of fraud or willful breach and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation

contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of either Party to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the Parties for any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant (other than those covenants set forth under Section 5.6 for the enforcement of which a Party may also seek specific performance).

Section 8.9    Damages. The Parties agree that with respect to each indemnification obligation set forth in this Article VIII, any Transaction Document or any other document executed or delivered in connection with the Closing, in no event shall an Indemnifying Person have any liability to an Indemnified Person for any consequential, indirect, incidental, exemplary, punitive or special damages, internal costs or lost profits, except for any such damages actually paid by the Indemnified Person to any third party in respect of any Third-Party Claim. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the terms of this Section 8.9 but subject to the other terms of this Article VIII, this Section 8.9 shall not preclude Purchaser and its Affiliates from claiming Losses under this Article VIII in connection with damages actually paid by them to the third party (or any of its Affiliates) set forth in Section 8.9 of Purchaser’s Disclosure Letter relating to any sale of some or all of the assets of the Target Companies to such third party, provided (i) that the facts, events and circumstances giving rise to such damages give rise to a breach under this Agreement for which indemnification would be available to Purchaser and its Affiliates had they sustained the damages directly as a Loss (and such breach is demonstrable), and (ii) the amount of such damages indemnifiable hereunder shall be the lesser of (x) the damages actually paid by them to the third party as a result of the breach and (y) the amount that Purchaser and its Affiliates would have been entitled hereunder had the Purchaser and its Affiliates continued to own such assets sold to the third party .

Section 8.10    Net Tax Benefit. Any amount of any Loss for which reimbursement or indemnification is provided under this Article VIII shall be (i) decreased by any Tax benefit actually realized as a decrease in Taxes payable by the Indemnified Person (or any Affiliate thereof) as a result of the incurrence or payment of any such Loss (including as a result of the facts, matters, events or circumstances giving rise to such Losses), and (ii) increased by any Tax cost actually incurred as an increase in Taxes payable by the Indemnified Person (or any Affiliate thereof) as a result of the receipt or accrual of the indemnification payment.

Section 8.11    Contingent Liabilities. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable under this Article VIII in respect of any Loss which is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual liability and is due and payable. To avoid doubt, any Loss in respect of Taxes for which an assessment or reassessment has been issued by a Government Authority shall not be considered a contingent Loss.

Section 8.12    Right to Recover.

(a)    If any Indemnifying Person is liable to pay an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement and any Indemnified Person recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Indemnified Person (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the

subject matter of the claim, Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, shall procure that, before steps are taken to enforce a claim against any Indemnifying Person under this Agreement, all reasonable steps are taken to enforce recovery against the third party and any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery) shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the extent of such recovery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be required to act or forbear to act under this Section 8.12 if such act or forbearance, as applicable, could prejudice such Person’s ability to prosecute a claim against an Indemnifying Person or any right hereunder in the reasonable judgment of Parent or Purchaser, as applicable.

(b)    If any Indemnifying Person has paid an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement and any Indemnified Person recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates any Indemnified Person (in whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter of the claim, Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, shall procure that all steps are taken as may reasonably be required to enforce such recovery and shall, or shall procure that the relevant Indemnified Person shall, pay to Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to (i) any sum recovered from the third party less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or (ii) if less, the amount previously paid by the relevant Indemnifying Person to the relevant Indemnified Person.Double Claims

Section 8.13    Mitigation of Losses. Any Indemnified Person that becomes aware of Losses for which it seeks, or may seek, indemnification under this Article VIII shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such Losses, which in the absence of mitigation might give rise to or increase such Loss in respect of any claim under this Article VIII, including, to avoid doubt, re-filing any Tax Return for any period that is not closed by virtue of any statute of limitations to make claims for any amounts available in such period that arise from the Losses being mitigated (including as a result of the facts, matters, events or circumstances giving rise to such Losses) including claims for increased available capital cost allowance but only to the extent such amounts arose in a Pre-Closing Period and were not taken into account in calculating the Final Net Asset Value. In the event an Indemnified Person fails to so mitigate such an indemnifiable Loss, the Indemnifying Person shall have no liability for any portion of such Loss that is attributable to the Indemnified Person’s failure to use such commercially reasonable efforts.

Section 9.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

(f)    Consent. By the mutual written consent of Parent and Purchaser;

(g)    Delay.

execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Action is improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, fetter or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which the party is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction.

Each Party further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such Action by the mailing of copies thereof by registered mail, postage prepaid, to such party at its address specified pursuant to Section 10.1, such service of process to be effective upon acknowledgment of receipt of such registered mail.

(m)    Each Party expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are intended to be irrevocable under the laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America; provided that consent by Purchaser to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 10.6 is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 10.6 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to said courts or in the State of New York other than for such purpose.

(n)    Each Party acknowledges that, other than as provided in Section 8.8, it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result from any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that, in view of the uniqueness of the subject matter of this Agreement, the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, of any of such provisions would be inadequate and, accordingly, agrees that, other than as provided in Section 8.8, the other Party, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have, shall be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement and any of the terms of this Agreement (including the respective obligations of Purchaser and Parent under Section 5.1, Section 5.6 and Section 5.14) and such other equitable and injunctive relief available to the Parties from any arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction to compel specific performance of, or restrain any Party from violating, any of such provisions. In connection with any action or proceeding for equitable and injunctive relief permitted hereunder, other than as provided in Section 8.8, each Party hereby waives any claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, agrees to have each provision of this Agreement (including the respective obligations of Purchaser and Parent under Section 5.1, Section 5.6 and Section 5.14) specifically enforced against it, without the necessity of posting bond or other

security against it, and consents to the entry of equitable and injunctive relief against it enjoining or restraining any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.9    Amendments; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended if, and only if, such amendment is in writing and signed by and on behalf of Parent and Purchaser.
