(i) Seller from time to time after the Closing, at Buyer’s request and expense, will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Buyer such other instruments of conveyance and transfer and will take such other actions and execute and deliver such other documents, certifications and further assurances as Buyer may reasonably request in order to vest more effectively in Buyer, or to put Buyer more fully in possession of, any of the Acquired Assets, or to better enable Buyer to complete, perform or discharge any of the Assumed Liabilities or to confirm that the Buyer is not responsible for the Excluded Liabilities; and

(ii) Buyer from time to time after the Closing, at Seller’s request and expense, will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Seller such other instruments of assumption and will take such other actions and execute and deliver such other documents, certifications and further assurances as Seller may reasonably request in order to vest more effectively in Buyer, any of the Assumed Liabilities.

2.3 Consents of Third Parties.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising under or resulting from such asset if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of such third party, would be ineffective with respect to any party to an agreement concerning such asset, would constitute a violation of statute, rule or regulation, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Seller or, upon transfer, Buyer under such asset. If any transfer or assignment by Seller to, or any assumption by Buyer of, any interest in, or liability, obligation or commitment under, any asset requires the consent of a third party, then such assignment or assumption shall be made subject to such consent being obtained. To the extent any Assigned Contract may not be assigned to Buyer by reason of the absence of any such consent, Buyer shall not be required to assume any Assumed Liabilities arising under such Assigned Contract.

     (b) If any such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate (at their own expense) in any lawful and reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by Buyer under which Buyer shall obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under the asset, claim or right with respect to which the consent has not been obtained in accordance with this Agreement. Such reasonable arrangement may include (i) the subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing to Buyer of any and all rights of Seller against the other party to such third-party agreement arising out of a breach or cancellation thereof by the other party, and (ii) the enforcement by Seller of such rights.

2.4 Closing Procedures. On the Closing Date, Seller’s counsel shall deliver all closing documents and items required pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement to Buyer’s counsel, and Buyer’s counsel shall deliver all documents and items required pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement to Seller’s counsel.

After each of Seller’s counsel and Buyer’s counsel are satisfied with such deliveries, Buyer shall instruct Buyer’s counsel to proceed to submit the documents relating to the transfer of the Owned Real Property, and registration of assignments of leases of all Leased Real Property, into the name of Buyer (the “Land Transfer Documents”), for registration in the Governmental Land Title Office in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, as applicable, (in each case, the “LTO”, respectively) and otherwise to be governed, as to the Closing, by the terms of this Section 2.4. After conducting LTO satisfactory pre-application index search, Buyer’s counsel shall make application to register the Land Transfer Documents in each LTO. Upon receipt by Buyer’s counsel of (A) a satisfactory post application search of the BC Real Property which indicates that, in the normal routine of the LTO, title to the Owned Real Property will be issued in the name of Buyer subject only to the Permitted Liens, and (B) confirmation that the Alberta and Saskatchewan Land Transfer Documents have been filed for registration in the respective LTO’s and (C) confirmation of the issuance of a gap title policy in respect of the Estevan, Saskatchewan Real Property, the Closing documents previously delivered as set forth above shall be considered to have been fully delivered and all payments due on the Closing Date shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that all grievances, references and arbitrations under the Collective Agreements and any complaints or applications to any labour relations board (or to any court or tribunal having any jurisdiction over matters arising out of the Collective Agreements), that are made, filed, commenced or instituted before the Effective Time (or after the Effective Time, but based primarily on events or circumstances that occurred, existed or were initiated before the Effective Time), will be the sole responsibility of Seller. Seller shall not take any action in connection with any such matters without giving prior written notice to Buyer.

performed by Seller on or prior to the Effective Time, but excluding Ordinary Course Warranty Claims (a “Seller Product Liability Claim”), the defense and handling of the same will be undertaken by Seller directly or through the appropriate insurance contract, and (ii) if any such Product Liability Claim arises out of an accident or occurrence involving a product manufactured or sold or any service performed by Buyer after the Effective Time (a “Buyer Product Liability Claim”), the defense and handling of the same will be undertaken by Buyer directly or through the appropriate insurance contract. Buyer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop and implement a procedure for marking products to facilitate identification of such products as manufactured after the Effective Time reasonably consistent with the labeling procedures currently used by Seller. With regard to the investigation and defense of Product Liability Claims, each party agrees to provide the other with such documentary material and assistance of personnel (subject to reimbursement of reasonable travel and lodging expenses) as is available to one party and as the other may reasonably require in connection with such investigation or defense.

6.15 Confidentiality. Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts following the Closing, to cause its agents, representatives, Affiliates, employees, officers/managers and directors/governors to: (i) treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or provide access to any Person to) all information of Seller relating to trade secrets, processes, patent applications, product development, price, supplier lists, pricing and marketing plans, policies and strategies, details of customer contracts, operations methods, product development techniques, business acquisition plans, new personnel acquisition plans and all other confidential or proprietary information of the Business, (ii) if Seller or Seller’s Affiliate becomes aware that its employee, officer/manager or director/governor becomes legally compelled to disclose any such information, Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice of such requirement so that Buyer may seek a protective order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 6.15.

8.5 Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party in writing, setting forth specifically the obligation with respect to which the claim is made, the facts giving rise to and the alleged basis for such claim and, if known or reasonably ascertainable, the amount of the liability asserted or which may be asserted by reason thereof, but any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to the Indemnified

Party other than to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby.

Any other claim for indemnity under Article 8 shall be asserted in writing within 90 days after the running of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the underlying liability and the right of any of Buyer’s Indemnified Persons to indemnity for any such other claim for indemnification under Article 8 shall not be limited or affected by whether or not a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation.

     (a) Except for Losses relating to breaches of Sections 3.1 (Organization), 3.4 (Authority and Enforceability), 3.11 (Title), 3.20 (Taxes) and 3.35 (Floorplan Program) and Losses arising as a result of fraud, willful breach or criminal liability, as to which the limitations of this sentence shall not apply, Buyer’s Indemnified Persons may not assert any claim for Losses under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 until the total amount of such claims under this Agreement exceed in the aggregate $500,000, and then Buyer’s Indemnified Persons may assert claims for Losses relating back to the first dollar.

          In no event shall the total liability of Seller, the Shareholder and the Principals for claims of Losses under Section 8.1 of this Agreement (other than relating to breaches of

Sections 3.1, 3.4, 3.11, 3.20 and 3.35 of this Agreement) exceed in the aggregate the Cash Purchase Price.

     (b) All recoveries for claims for Losses by Buyer’s Indemnified Persons under Article 8 shall be made first from the principal amount, including interest income, of the Escrow Fund.

Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of setoff or to give a notice of a claim under the Escrow Agreement will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

ARTICLE 9
TERMINATION

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to Closing:

     (a) by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller;

     (b) by either Buyer or Seller if there has been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the other party set forth in this Agreement that has not been cured by the breaching party within ten days after the non-breaching party has notified the breaching party;

     (c) by either Buyer or Seller at any time after February 29, 2008 (the “Final Termination Date”), provided that if the Closing shall not have occurred by the Final Termination Date as the result of a breach of this Agreement, then any party responsible for such breach may not avail itself of the right under this Section 9.1, and provided further that in any such event, the non-breaching party(ies) shall not be deprived of any remedy hereunder or at law against the breaching party;

     (d) by Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred on the Closing Date by reason of the failure of any of the conditions specified in Section 7.1 and such failure has not been waived by Buyer (unless the failure results primarily from the Buyer itself breaching any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);

     (e) by Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred by the Closing Date by reason of the failure of any of the conditions specified in Section 7.2 and such failure has not been waived by Seller (unless the failure results primarily from Seller himself breaching any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement); or

     (f) by either Buyer or Seller if a court of competent jurisdiction or Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in each case permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Seller or Buyer, as provided above, this Agreement shall forthwith terminate and there shall be no liability on the part of either Seller or Buyer or Parent, or their respective officers or directors, except for liabilities arising from a material breach by a party hereto of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the obligations of the parties set forth in Sections 5.10 (Confidentiality) and 10.10 (Expenses) hereof shall survive such termination.

9.3 Not an Election. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, each party’s right of termination under Section 9.1 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of such right of termination will not be an election of remedies.

9.4 Waiver of Conditions. No waiver by the Buyer or the Seller of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2, in whole or in part, shall in any way prejudice or limit the rights and remedies of the party waiving such condition to claim or recover damages and compensation from the other party in respect of any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, nor in respect of any breach or non-performance of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of the other party contained in this Agreement, regardless of whether or not such matter was the subject of such waiver. The parties may not rely on the failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set out in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 as a basis for non-compliance with their obligations under this Agreement if such condition precedent would have been satisfied but for a material default by the party for whose benefit the condition exists in complying with its obligations hereunder.
