ARTICLE 7 TERMINATION 7.1 Termination. This Agreement shall terminate if and only if all Parties mutually agree in writing to terminate it. ARTICLE 8 MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the Purchase Agreements and all agreements contemplated hereby or thereby contain the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereunder, and supersede all negotiations, representations, warranties, commitments, offers, contracts and writings prior to the date hereof, including the letter of intent dated November 17, 2015 among Canadian JJE and Federal Signal, as amended, other than section (h) of such letter of intent which shall survive. No waiver and no modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless specifically made in writing and duly signed by the Party to be bound thereby. 8.2 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. A copy transmitted via facsimile or e-mail of this Agreement, bearing the signature of any Party shall be deemed to be of the same legal force and effect as an original of this Agreement bearing such signature(s) as originally written of such one or more Parties. 8.3 Assignment, Successors and Assigns. The respective rights and obligations of the Parties shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that a Purchaser Party may assign all or part of its respective rights under this Agreement and delegate all or part of its respective obligations under this Agreement without such written consent to (i) one or more of its Affiliates, in which event all the rights and powers of such Purchaser Party, as the case may be, and remedies available to it under this Agreement shall extend to and be enforceable by each such Affiliate, or (ii) its lenders as security for any obligations arising in connection with the financing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreements or hereby or for the Business acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreements provided that: (a) such Purchaser Party provides the Seller Parties at least 10 days’ prior written notice of such an assignment; and (b) such Purchaser Party shall remain joint and severally

- 13 - liable with the assignee for all of the liabilities and obligations of such Purchaser Party hereunder assigned to such assignee notwithstanding the assignment. For the sake of clarity, Federal Signal shall not be permitted to assign its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Seller Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. 8.4 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties 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. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (a) words of any gender shall be deemed to include each other gender, (b) words using the singular or plural number shall also include the plural or singular number, respectively, (c) references to “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and similar terms shall refer to this entire Agreement, (d) all references in this Agreement to Articles, Sections and Exhibits shall mean and refer to Articles, Sections and Exhibits of this Agreement, (e) all references to statutes and related regulations shall include all amendments of the same and any successor or replacement statutes and regulations in effect as of the Closing Date, (f) references to any Person shall be deemed to mean and include the successors and permitted assigns of such Person (or, in the case of a Governmental Authority, Persons succeeding to the relevant functions of such Person), (g) the word “including” means “including without limitation” and (h) references to a specific statute or Act applicable in a Province or territory in Canada or a state or territory in the United States includes a reference to any statute or Act of any other Province, state or territory relating to the same or similar subject matter to which a Party is subject. 8.5 Savings Clause. If any provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction or as a result of future legislative action, such holding or action shall be strictly construed and shall not affect the validity or effect of any other provision hereof. 8.6 Headings. The captions of the various Articles and Sections of this Agreement have been inserted only for convenience of reference and shall not be deemed to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement. 8.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and effect of this Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the Laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, excluding the “conflict of laws” rules thereof. 8.8 Currency. All amounts expressed in this Agreement and all payments required by this Agreement are in Canadian dollars, provided that the financial statements referred to in Exhibit D shall be calculated in US dollars, with payment being made in Canadian dollar equivalent as more particularly described in such Exhibit. 8.9 Survival.
