Section 2.05 Purchase Price and Allocation.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Canada Assets shall be the Allocated Price designated for the Canada Assets as set forth in Section 2.02(b)(ii) of the MTA (the “Canada Purchase Price”), plus the agreed value of the Assumed Liabilities as set out in the Allocation Schedule, plus, subject to Section 5.06 of this Agreement, applicable Taxes. The Canada Purchase Price shall be paid and is subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the MTA.

(b) Within 90 days after the Canada Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver a schedule allocating the Canada Purchase Price (including the amount of any Assumed Liabilities treated as consideration for the Canada Assets for Tax purposes) to and among the Canada Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule prepared by Buyer shall be deemed final unless Seller or the Company notifies Buyer in writing that Seller or the Company objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule within 30 days after delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller or the Company; provided, however, that no amounts shall be allocated to (i) accounts receivable in excess of the book value thereof on the Canada Closing Date; or (ii) inventory or Tangible Personal Property in excess of the fair market values thereof on the Canada Closing Date. In the event of any such objection, the Company and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if the Company and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule to Seller or the Company, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm or, if the Independent Accounting Firm is unable to serve, another impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants mutually appointed by Buyer and the Company. The decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon the Company, Seller and Buyer, and the decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and non-appealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereover. In the event the Company and Buyer submit any such dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution, the Company and Buyer shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 2.05 and one-half of the fees and costs of the Independent Accounting Firm. Seller and Buyer agree to file their respective Tax Returns in accordance with the Allocation Schedule. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule unless required to do so by applicable Law.

Section 2.06 Non-assignable Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06, to the extent that the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, to Buyer of any Canada Asset would result in a violation of applicable Law, or would require the consent, authorization, approval or waiver of a Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement (including any Governmental Authority), and such consent, authorization, approval or waiver shall not have been obtained prior to the Canada Closing, this Agreement shall not constitute a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, or an attempted sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or delivery, thereof; provided, however, that, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Article VI, the Canada Closing shall occur notwithstanding the foregoing without any adjustment to the Canada Purchase Price on account thereof. Following the Canada Closing, Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable best efforts, and Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required consent, authorization, approval or waiver, or any release, substitution or amendment required to transfer or assign such Canada Assets and to novate all liabilities and obligations under any and all Assigned Contracts or other liabilities that constitute Assumed Liabilities or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements, so that, in any case, Buyer shall be solely entitled to the rights and benefits under, and responsible for such liabilities and obligations, from and after the Canada Closing Date; provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall be required to pay any consideration therefor. Once such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment is obtained, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer the relevant Canada Asset to which such consent, authorization, approval, waiver, release, substitution or amendment relates for no additional consideration.

(b) To the extent that any Canada Asset and/or Assumed Liability cannot be transferred to Buyer following the Canada Closing pursuant to this Section 2.06, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements (such as subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties the economic and, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, operational equivalent of the transfer of such Canada Asset and/or Assumed Liability to Buyer as of the Canada Closing and the performance by Buyer of its obligations with respect thereto. Buyer shall, as agent or subcontractor for Seller pay, perform and discharge fully the liabilities and obligations of Seller thereunder from and after the Canada Closing Date. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, Seller shall, at Buyer’s expense, hold in trust for and pay to Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, such Canada Asset and all income, proceeds and other monies received by Seller to the extent related to such Canada Asset in connection with the arrangements under this Section 2.06. Seller shall be permitted to set off against such amounts all direct costs associated with the retention and maintenance of such Canada Assets. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall not apply to any consent or approval required under any Antitrust Law, which consent or approval shall be governed by Section 5.04 of the MTA.

Section 2.07 Closing; Transactions to be Effected at the Canada Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the MTA and this Agreement, the purchase and sale of the Canada Assets contemplated hereby shall take place at a closing (the

“Canada Closing”) to be held at the same time and place as the Closing as specified in the MTA (the day on which the Canada Closing takes place being the “Canada Closing Date”).

(vii) all other agreements, documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by Seller at or prior to the Canada Closing pursuant to Section 6.02 of this Agreement; and

(e) All items delivered by the parties at the Canada Closing (including items delivered pursuant to Article VI) will be deemed to have been delivered simultaneously, and no items will be deemed delivered or waived until all have been delivered.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Seller is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Seller, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer) this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which Seller is a party each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its and their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(a) Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate of Buyer to, offer employment effective on the Canada Closing Date to all actively employed Employees (including Employees who are absent due to vacation, family leave, short-term disability or other approved leave of absence, but excluding Employees who are absent on long-term disability). The Employees who accept such employment shall commence employment with Buyer or an Affiliate of Buyer immediately following the Canada Closing, and are referred to herein as “Transferred Employees”. Such offers of employment shall be contingent upon each Employee satisfying Buyer’s customary candidate screening procedures and remaining employed by Seller until terminated by Seller immediately prior to the Canada Closing. Employees who do not accept Buyer’s offer of employment shall not be Transferred Employees, and Buyer shall have no liability for any claims with respect to such Employee’s employment and termination of employment by Seller.

(b) During the period commencing at the Canada Closing and ending on the date which is 12 months from the Canada Closing, Buyer shall provide each Transferred Employee with: (i) base salary or hourly wages which are no less favorable in the aggregate than the base salary or hourly wages provided by Seller immediately prior to the Canada Closing; (ii) target bonus incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, which are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) provided by Seller immediately prior to the Canada Closing; (iii) benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided under Benefit Plans in effect for such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Canada Closing; and (iv) severance benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the practice, plan or policy in effect for such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Canada Closing, excluding benefits under or related to defined benefit pension plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, non-qualified deferred compensation, and retiree medical and life.

(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”) in which any Transferred Employees will participate effective as of the Canada Closing, Buyer shall recognize all service of the Transferred Employees with Seller, as the case may be, as if such service were with Buyer, for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for the purposes of benefit accrual) in any Buyer Benefit Plan in which such Transferred Employees may be eligible to participate after the Canada Closing, and/or to the extent the recognition of such service credit otherwise affects the provision of benefits pursuant to such plan; provided, however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (ii) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Benefit Plan. In addition, at such time as any Transferred Employees are transitioned over to Buyer Benefit Plans, Buyer or the relevant Subsidiary shall waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Transferred Employees (except that, for insured benefit plans, any such waiver must be permitted under the terms of the insurance policy). The Transferred Employees shall cease to accrue benefits under and cease to participate in the Benefit Plans effective as of the Canada Closing.

Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.03 shall not create any right in any Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with Seller or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

If applicable, Seller and Buyer shall jointly execute in the prescribed form an election under Section 75 of the QSTA that no tax be payable pursuant to the QSTA with respect to the purchase and sale of the Canada Assets. Buyer shall provide evidence that such election(s) were filed within five days of filing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless in respect of any GST/HST, QST, penalties, interest and other amounts that may be assessed against Seller as a result of the transactions under this Agreement not being eligible for such election(s) or as a result of Buyer’s failure to file the election(s) within the prescribed time. Seller and Buyer shall jointly execute an election in the form prescribed in the Tax Act and such corresponding election as may be required under the laws of provincial application to have Section 22 of the Tax Act apply in respect of the transfer of the Receivables and designate as such election the portion of the Canada Purchase Price allocated to the Receivables pursuant to Section 2.05(b). Seller and Buyer shall jointly elect under subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act and such corresponding election as may be required under the laws of provincial application in respect of any undertakings of Seller for which Seller has included an amount in income under paragraph 12(1)(a) of the Tax Act and where such undertakings are being assumed by Buyer. In this regard, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that a portion of the Canada Assets transferred by Seller pursuant to this Agreement, and having a value equal to the amount elected under subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any laws of provincial application, is being transferred by Seller as a payment for the assumption of such undertakings. Seller and Buyer shall jointly elect under proposed subsection 56.4(7) of the Tax Act, as it reads on the date of this Agreement or any amended or successor provision thereto, and such corresponding election as may be required under the laws of provincial application in respect of the undertaking of Seller not to compete with Buyer in respect of the Transportation Products Business. Buyer and Seller confirm that no portion of the Canada Purchase Price for the Canada Assets is being paid or allocated to a “restrictive covenant,” as that term is defined for the purposes of section 56.4 of the Tax Act, and that any such “restrictive covenant” granted herein is for the purposes of maintaining and preserving the fair market value of the Canada Assets.

Section 5.07 Public Announcements. Seller shall comply with the Company’s obligations and Buyer shall comply with Buyer’s obligations, in each case, set forth in Section 5.08 of the MTA.

Section 5.10 GST/HST and Registrations. Prior to the Canada Closing Date, Buyer or its Affiliate will be registered for purposes of Part IX of the ETA.

Section 5.11 Updates to Disclosure Schedule. Seller shall comply with the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 5.14 of the MTA.

Section 5.12 Insurance Matters.

(a) Prior to the date hereof, the Company and its Affiliates have maintained insurance coverage for products liability, general liability and automobile liability provided by third-party insurers (including stop loss, excess liability and umbrella coverage) for certain liabilities of Seller relating to products claims, general claims typically insured by a general liability policy and automobile related claims (the “Existing Liabilities”) arising out of occurrences on or prior to the Canada Closing Date (the “Insurance Coverage”). Seller agrees to take such action as may be reasonably necessary to maintain the Insurance Coverage after the Canada Closing Date for the benefit of Buyer and not to voluntarily relinquish or terminate such Insurance Coverage. In addition, Seller agrees to cause the Company to name Buyer as an additional insured under all such Insurance Coverage (other than with respect to the automobile liability policy) effective on the Canada Closing Date with respect to acts, omissions, occurrences, facts, or circumstances existing or occurring on or prior to the Canada Closing Date. Seller agrees to cause the Company to require its insurer to provide Buyer with a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage and thirty (30) days’ notice of material change, cancellation, or non-renewal. To the extent that any claim with respect to any such Existing Liabilities that arises out of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance existing or occurring on or prior to the Canada Closing Date is made against Buyer and the Insurance Coverage by its terms applies to such claim (any such claim, an “Insurance Coverage Claim”), upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall cause the Company to submit such Insurance Coverage Claim upon becoming aware thereof to the insurer under the applicable insurance policy for potential payment and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery from the provider of the related Insurance Coverage. Buyer shall reimburse the Company for any applicable out-of-pocket administrative and processing fees or other costs and expenses imposed by the insurer and paid by the Company specifically relating to the submitted Insurance Coverage Claims and the processing thereof. In addition, Seller agrees to and shall cause the Company to cooperate with Buyer to make the benefits of the Insurance Coverage available to Buyer (subject to the terms

and conditions of such Insurance Coverage) and continue, from and after the Canada Closing Date, to process such Insurance Coverage Claims in the ordinary course of business in substantially the same manner as similar claims were processed prior to the Canada Closing Date. In the event that (i) the Company or any of its Affiliates receives any proceeds of the Insurance Coverage with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claims thereunder and (ii) such claim has been paid by Buyer, Seller agrees to cause the Company to promptly pay or reimburse Buyer with respect to the amount so paid by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5.12.

(b) With respect to Buyer’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any amounts described in this Section 5.12 (the “Reimbursed Amounts”), Seller and Buyer agree that (i) Seller shall cause the Company to invoice Buyer on a monthly basis for all Reimbursed Amounts paid or incurred by the Company with appropriate supporting details and (ii) Buyer agrees to pay the amount reflected on such invoices as promptly as practicable and in any event within fifteen (15) days of receipt of any such invoice with appropriate supporting details.

(c) In the event that Buyer or any or its Affiliates or Representatives takes or fails to take any action which results in the Insurance Coverage not being available for any reason with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claim, Seller shall cause the Company to notify Buyer in writing as to what action or failure of action caused a suspension of coverage. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days within which to remedy such action or failure of action. If no remedy has been effected at the end of such thirty (30) day period, then the obligations of Seller and the Company pursuant to this Section 5.12 with respect to any such Insurance Coverage Claim shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(d) Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) in no event shall Seller or the Company be required to pay, or be held responsible for, any self-insured retention amounts or deductibles payable with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claim and (ii) Buyer shall be responsible for all self-insured retention amounts and deductibles payable with respect to any Insurance Coverage Claim.

(e) Buyer acknowledges that effective as of the Canada Closing Date, the Company intends to remove Seller and the Canada Assets from the Insurance Coverage to the extent that the Insurance Coverage relates to any occurrences arising at any time after the Canada Closing Date. Accordingly, Buyer acknowledges that no Insurance Coverage shall be available to Buyer with respect to any injury, loss or damage that Buyer or any third party may suffer as a result of any act, omission, occurrence, fact or circumstance occurring with respect to any period after the Canada Closing Date.

Section 5.13 Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a current estoppel certificate, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, prior to the Canada Closing Date for each Lease set forth in Section 5.13 of the Disclosure Schedule.
