5A.          General Provisions.

(i)            Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Notes it is purchasing are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances as set forth in this Section 5.  In the absence of an effective registration statement covering such securities or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Notes must be held indefinitely.  In this connection, such Purchaser represents that it is familiar with Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act, including the Rule 144 condition that current information about the Parent be available to the public.

(ii)           The Notes are transferable only pursuant to (a) public offerings registered under the Securities Act, (b) Rule 144 or Rule 144A adopted by the SEC under

22

the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC if the exemption from registration under such rule is available and (c) any other legally available means of transfer.

5B.          Legend Removal.  If the Notes become eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) adopted by the SEC under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Company shall, upon the request of the holder of such securities, remove the legend set forth in Section 10C(ii) of this Agreement from the certificates for such securities.

Section 6.               Representations and Warranties of the Company.  As a material inducement to the Purchasers to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Notes hereunder, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each of the Purchasers that the statements contained in this Section 6 are correct and complete as of the date hereof (or as of the date as of which they are made, in the case of any representation or warranty which specifically relates to an earlier date) and will be correct and complete as of the Closing Date.

6A.          Organization and Power.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company has the corporate power and authority and all material licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to own and operate its properties, to carry on its businesses as now conducted and presently proposed to be conducted, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The copies of the Articles and By-laws which have been furnished to Kirkland & Ellis LLP reflect all amendments made thereto at any time prior to the date of this Agreement and are true, correct and complete.  The minute books (containing the records of meetings of the stockholders, the board of directors, and any committees of the board of directors), the stock certificate books, and the stock record books for each member of the Company Group are correct and complete in all material respects.  No member of the Company Group is in default under or in violation of any provision of its formation documents or by-laws in any material respect.

23

of property or the conduct of business requires it to qualify, except to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as set forth on the attached “Subsidiary Schedule,” all of the outstanding Equity Securities of each Subsidiary are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and all such shares are owned by a member of the Company Group, free and clear of any Lien and not subject to any option or right to purchase any such shares, other than Permitted Liens.

6D.          Authorization; Non-contravention.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party and the issuance of the Notes have been duly authorized by applicable member of the Company Group.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party each constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company and such Subsidiaries, enforceable against the Company and such Subsidiaries in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by the equitable remedies of specific performance, other equitable remedies or principles or Laws governing creditors’ rights generally.  Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the issuance of the Notes), (i) violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any Government Entity to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject, except to the extent that such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or any provision of the constitutive documents or by-laws of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, or create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, or cancel, any material and written agreement, contract, lease, license or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject (or result in the imposition of any Lien upon any of its assets, other than Permitted Liens).  No member of the Company Group is required to give any notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or approval of any Government Entity or any other Person for it to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, except for such as have been made or obtained and except as may be required by applicable Laws.

6E.           Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  No member of the Company Group has any known Liability other than Liabilities set forth on the Latest Balance Sheet or arising in the Ordinary Course of Business since the date thereof, except for Liabilities for transaction costs and expenses in connection with the Acquisition Agreement, the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.

6F.           No Material Adverse Change.  Except as set forth on the “No Material Adverse Effect Schedule” or as disclosed in the Public Reports, since July 31, 2005, there has been no Material Adverse Effect.  As of the date of this Agreement, no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(iv)          If an Event of Default of a type described in Sections 9A(i), 9A(ii) or 9A(ix) or a breach of Section 4F(ii) (in any case, an “Interest Rate Trigger Event”) occurs, then the interest rate on each outstanding Note shall increase immediately by an increment of 200 basis points, and such increase will continue until the next day upon which no Increase Period (whether for such Interest Rate Trigger Event or any other Interest Rate Trigger Event) is continuing, subject to subsequent increases pursuant to

37

this Section 9B(iv); provided that such interest rate shall not be increased by more than 200 basis points in the aggregate at any given time.  As used in this Section 9B(iv):

(v)           If any Event of Default exists, each holder of Notes shall also have any other rights which such holder is entitled to at any time under any other Transaction Agreement, any other contract or agreement and any other rights which such holder may have pursuant to applicable Law.

(vi)          In the case of a purchase or redemption pursuant to Section 7C or this Section 9B, if the funds of the Company legally available for redemption of Notes on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the Notes (plus any premium payable thereon) to be redeemed on such date, those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Notes (plus any premium payable thereon) pro rata among the holders of the Notes to be redeemed based upon the number

(1)           e.g., if an Event of Default of a type described in Section 9A(i) or 9A(ii) is cured on the 10th day after such Event of Default occurs, then the Increase Period for such Event of Default will end on the 90th day after the date upon which such Event of Default occurred; and if an Event of Default of a type described in Section 9A(i) or 9A(ii) is cured on the 150th day after such Event of Default occurs, then the Increase Period for such Event of Default will end on the 180th day after the date upon which such Event of Default occurred; in each case, unless such Event of Default is earlier waived in writing by Majority Noteholders.

38

of Notes held by each such holder.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 9B(vi), at any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are legally available for the redemption of Notes, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the Notes (plus any premium payable thereon) which the Company have become obligated to redeem on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed.

(vii)         At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 9B, the Majority Noteholders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences.  No rescission and annulment under this paragraph will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b)           Disclosure of Information.  Each Purchaser hereby represents that it has received and reviewed the information about the Company Group that it has requested and represents that it has had ample opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes and Warrants and the business, properties, prospects and financial condition of the Company Group that it has requested.  The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties in Section 6 or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon.

(c)           Investment Experience.  Each Purchaser hereby represents that it is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of its investment and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Notes, Warrants and Underlying Common Stock.  Such Purchaser also represents it has not been organized for the purpose of acquiring the Notes, Warrants or Underlying Common Stock.

(d)           Investment Intent; Own Account.  Each Purchaser hereby severally represents that it is acquiring the Notes, Warrants and Underlying Common Stock purchased hereunder or acquired pursuant hereto as principal for its own account, not as nominee or agent, with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of investment, and that it has no intention of selling such securities in violation of any applicable United States securities Laws; provided that nothing contained herein shall prevent any Purchaser and subsequent holders of Notes, Warrants or Underlying Common Stock from transferring such securities to its Affiliates or any other Person in compliance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement.  Each Purchaser further represents that such Purchaser does not have any contract, undertaking or agreement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any other Person with respect to the Notes, Warrants and Underlying Common Stock.  Each Purchaser understands that the Notes, Warrants and Underlying Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such registration nor such an exemption is required by law, and that, subject to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Parent and the Company are not required to register the Warrants or the Notes.

(f)            Each Purchaser hereby represents that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of funds (a “Source”) to be used by such Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:

(1)           the Source is an “insurance company general account” as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 95-60 (issued July 12, 1995) and, except as such Purchaser has disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this Section (1), the amount of reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan or group of plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities of the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus as set forth in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with the state of domicile of the insurer; or

(2)           the Source is a separate account of an insurance company maintained by such Purchaser in which an employee benefit plan (or its related trust) has an interest, which separate account is maintained solely in connection with such Purchaser’s fixed contractual obligations under which the amounts payable, or credited, to such plan and to any participant or beneficiary of such plan (including any annuitant) are not affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or

(3)           the Source is either (A) an insurance company pooled separate account, within the meaning of PTE 90-1 (issued January 29, 1990), or (B) a bank collective investment fund, within the meaning of the PTE 91-38 (issued July 12, 1991) and, except as such Purchaser has disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this Section (3), no employee benefit plan or group of plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization beneficially owns more than 10% of all assets allocated to such pooled separate account or collective investment fund; or

(4)           the Source constitutes assets of an “investment fund” (within the meaning of Part V of the QPAM Exemption) managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” or “QPAM” (within the meaning of Part V of the QPAM Exemption), no employee benefit plan’s assets that are included in such investment fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Section V(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization and managed by such QPAM, exceed 20% of the total client assets managed by such QPAM, the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the QPAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the QPAM (applying the definition of “control” in Section V(e) of

42

the QPAM Exemption) owns a 5% or more interest in the Company and (A) the identity of such QPAM and (B) the names of all employee benefit plans whose assets are included in such investment fund have been disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this Section (4); or

(5)           the Source is a governmental plan; or

As used in this Section 10(c)(i)(f), the terms “employee benefit plan”, “governmental plan”, “party in interest” and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA, and the term “QPAM Exemption” means PTE 84-14 (issued March 13, 1984).

10F.         Counterparts.  This Agreement and any other Transaction Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10G.        Descriptive Headings; Interpretation.  Section headings used in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, such agreement.  The use of the word “including” or any variation or derivative thereof in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement is by way of example rather than by limitation.  All references in this Agreement to “dollars” or “$” shall be to United States dollars and all references to “Section”, “subsection” or “clause” shall be references to this Agreement.

10J.         Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement or such other Transaction Agreement.

10K.        Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.  In the event

45

an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.  Nothing in the schedules attached hereto shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the schedule attached hereto identifies the exception with particularity and describes the relevant facts in detail.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself or the content of such document or other item).  The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance.  If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

10L.         Incorporation of Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits.  The annexes, schedules and exhibits identified in this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

10M.       Registered Holders; Ownership.  As used in this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements, references to a “holder” of Notes, Warrants or Underlying Common Stock shall mean the registered holder of such Notes, Warrants or Underlying Common Stock as set forth in the Company’s records.  For purposes of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements, all holdings of Notes, Warrants or Underlying Common Stock by Persons who are Affiliates of each other shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting any threshold tests under this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements.

46

THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS (AND ALL ANNEXES, SCHEDULES AND EXHIBITS HERETO AND THERETO), EVEN THOUGH UNDER THAT JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY.

10O.        JURISDICTION AND VENUE.  ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.  BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE A PARTY, THE COMPANY AND EACH HOLDER OF NOTES, WARRANTS AND UNDERLYING COMMON STOCK, ACCEPTS THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS.  THE COMPANY AND EACH HOLDER OF NOTES, WARRANTS AND UNDERLYING COMMON STOCK HEREBY WAIVE ANY CLAIM THAT MASSACHUSETTS IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM OR AN IMPROPER FORUM BASED ON LACK OF VENUE.

10Q.        Confidentiality.  For the purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified in a tangible manner when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser or any of its Representatives prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser or any of its Representatives other than through disclosure by the Company or any Subsidiary or (d) without limiting clause (a) above, constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under this Agreement that are otherwise publicly available.  Each Purchaser will maintain the
