| (a) | No later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause Crowe BGK LLP to prepare and deliver (i) the Closing Date Financial Statements prepared in accordance with ASPE, (ii) the calculation of the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Working Capital based on such Closing Date Financial Statements (collectively, the “Closing Calculations”). The Parties shall cooperate fully in the preparation of the Closing Calculations. The Purchaser and the Vendors shall be permitted access to the working papers of Crowe BGK LLP in respect of the Closing Date Financial Statements and the Closing Calculations in accordance with customary protocols regarding such access.

| (b) | Each of the Purchaser and the Vendors may object to the Closing Calculations by written notice to the Purchaser parties, or the Vendor parties, as applicable, within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt thereof, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which the notifying Party objects (the “Objection Notice”) and the Parties shall be deemed to have agreed upon all other items and amounts contained in such Closing Calculations which are not impacted by items or amounts objected to in the Objection Notice. If no Objection Notice is made within the period and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence, or if the Purchaser and the Vendors confirm in writing that they accept the Closing Calculations prior to the end of such thirty (30) Business Day period, then the Closing Calculations shall be conclusive, final and binding on all the Parties without possibility of amendment or appeal and shall constitute the final Closing Calculations.

| (c) | If an Objection Notice is delivered in the manner and within the thirty (30) Business Day period specified in the preceding paragraph, the Parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any matters in dispute with respect to the Closing Calculations as promptly as practicable. If the Purchaser and the Vendors are unable to resolve all such items in dispute within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the Objection Notice giving rise to such dispute, then those items or calculations in dispute shall be submitted for resolution within five (5) Business Days following such ten (10) Business Day period to Ernst & Young LLP, or such other independent firm of chartered accountants as the Purchaser and the Vendors may agree in writing or, failing agreement, as appointed by the court (each being the “Independent Firm”). The Independent Firm will limit its review only to the specific items or calculations in dispute (except to the extent that ASPE requires adjustments to other items as a result thereof). The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Firm to submit its determination or opinion in a written statement delivered to the Purchaser and the Vendors as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days of the appointment of such Independent Firm, and such determination or opinion, together with those items accepted by the Purchaser and the Vendors in respect of the Closing Calculations or otherwise resolved between the Purchaser and the Vendors, shall be conclusive, final and binding on all the Parties without possibility of amendment or appeal and shall constitute the final Closing Calculations.

- 7 -

| (d) | For greater certainty, upon receipt of the said Objection Notice all other amounts contained in such Closing Calculations which are not impacted by items or amounts objected to in the Objection Notice shall be immediately considered as final, and shall be paid concurrently with any other amounts owing in accordance with Section 2.6.

| (e) | While the Independent Firm is making its determination hereunder, the Parties shall not communicate with the Independent Firm on the subject matter of its review, except by joint conference call, joint meeting or letter with copy simultaneously delivered to the other Parties. Each of the Purchaser and the Vendors will be permitted by the Independent Firm to make a submission with respect to its position on the matters in dispute.

| (f) | The Parties will bear their respective fees and expenses (including those of their respective advisors) in preparing, auditing, reviewing, agreeing to, objecting to, or resolving, as the case may be, the Closing Calculations, except as otherwise provided in the remainder of this paragraph. The costs of any fees and expenses of the Independent Firm and of any enforcement of the determination thereof, shall be borne by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Vendors, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Firm, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amounts in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Firm at the time the determination of such firm is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.

| (g) | The accounting and audit procedures provided for by this Section 2.5.2 shall be the exclusive and conclusive methodology for determination of the matters covered thereby and shall be binding upon the Parties and shall not be contested by any of them other than as provided for in this Section 2.5.2.

- 8 -

| 2.6 | Payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment

Within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Calculations becoming final as per the provisions of Section 2.5.2(b) or Section 2.5.2(c), as the case may be:

| 2.6.1 | if the aggregate sum of the adjustments set forth in Section 2.5.1 results in an increase in the Purchase Price (the “Positive Adjustment Amount”), the Positive Adjustment Amount shall be paid by wire transfer, as follows:

| (a) | the amount of the Positive Adjustment Amount shall be paid to the Vendors directly by the Purchaser; or

| 2.6.2 | if the aggregate sum of the adjustments set forth in Section 2.5.1 results in a reduction in the Purchase Price (the “Negative Adjustment Amount”), the Negative Adjustment Amount shall be paid by wire transfer, as follows:

| (a) | if the Negative Adjustment Amount is less than or equal to the unpaid balance of the POD-1 Consideration, the Purchaser and the Vendors shall operate compensation on such amounts owed to one another and the Vendors shall forever release and discharge the Purchaser from payment of the portion of the POD-1 Consideration used to compensate the Negative Adjustment Amount; and

| (b) | if the Negative Adjustment Amount is greater than the unpaid balance of the POD-1 Consideration, (i) the Purchaser and the Vendors shall operate compensation on the entirety of the POD-1 Consideration and the Vendors shall forever release and discharge the Purchaser from payment of the full balance of the POD-1 Consideration used to compensate, in part, the Negative Adjustment Amount; (ii) the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Purchaser the amount by which the Negative Adjustment Amount exceeds the unpaid balance of the POD-1 Consideration; and, if applicable, (iii) the amount by which the Negative Adjustment Amount exceeds the sum of the unpaid balance of the POD-1 Consideration and the Escrow Amount shall be paid to the Purchaser directly by the Vendors.

Any Direct Claim shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifier reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than ninety (90) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of acts, omissions or facts that may give rise to such Direct Claim. Such notice to the Indemnifier shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate, if reasonably practicable, the estimated amount of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

| 7.6 | Defence of Third Party Claims

| 7.6.1 | Defence by Indemnifier. Subject to Section 7.6.2, the Indemnifier shall have the right to participate in or, other than for a Third Party Claim for Tax, assume the defence of any Third Party Claim by giving notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party not later than thirty (30) days after receiving notice of that Third Party Claim (the “Notice Period”) provided the Indemnifier concurrently irrevocably acknowledges in writing complete responsibility for, and agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of, such Third Party Claim, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3. The Indemnifier’s right to do so shall be subject to the rights of any insurer or other party who has potential liability in respect of that Third Party Claim. The Indemnifier agrees to pay all of its own expenses of participating in or assuming such defence. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in the defence of each Third Party Claim, even if the defence has been assumed by the Indemnifier, and may participate in such defence assisted by counsel of its own choice at the cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, provided that the Indemnifier and its legal counsel shall lead the defence. The Indemnifier shall not enter into any compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and further provided that no such consent shall be required in the event that such compromise or settlement involves only the payment of monies all of which are to be paid by the Escrow Agent or the Indemnifier.

| 7.6.2 | Defence by Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party has not received the notice and the acknowledgement, within the Notice Period that the Indemnifier has elected to assume the defence of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, elect to settle or compromise the Third Party Claim or assume such defence, assisted by counsel of its own choosing and the Indemnifier shall be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith and any Loss suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, subject always to the provisions of Section 7.3. In addition, if at any time, the Indemnifier fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, within thirty (30) days after giving notice that the Indemnified Party bona fide believes on reasonable grounds that the Indemnifier has failed to take such steps, at its option, elect to assume the defence of and to compromise or settle the Third Party Claim assisted by counsel of its own choosing and the Indemnifier shall be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith.

| 7.6.3 | Seizure. The Parties shall cooperate in a good faith manner in respect of any purported, alleged or valid Claim by a third party that could result in a seizure of the Purchased Shares or any assets of the Purchaser or of the Targets after the Closing Date and shall keep each other informed of the status and progress thereof. If for any reason the Purchased Shares or any assets of the Purchaser or the Targets are the subject of a seizure after the Closing Date due to an alleged, purported or valid Claim by a third party which Claim may constitute a breach of a representation of the Vendors herein, the Purchaser shall immediately inform the Vendors in writing of such seizure and require that the Vendors lift and cancel the seizure as soon as practicable, and in no case later than three (3) Business Days, from the receipt of such notice. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith in the defence of the seizure.

| 7.7 | Defence of Third Party Claims for Taxes

Notwithstanding Section 7.6, with respect to a Claim relating to Taxes which would constitute a breach of a representation of the Vendors herein, before an Indemnifier can either (i) require that a Target defend a contest from any Tax Authority relating to Taxes (a “Tax Contest”), or (ii) participate in or assume the defense of any such Tax Contest, the Indemnifier shall provide such Target with all funds that such Target is required to deposit or pay under any Law in order to contest such Tax Contest or is required to pay notwithstanding the contest of the Tax Contest. Such funds shall first be provided from the Escrow Amount, to the extent thereof, and thereafter from the Indemnifier’s own resources. The funds provided by the Indemnifier, which may represent, among other amounts and without limitation, all or part of the Tax Contest, shall be provided to such Target on an interest-free basis. If the required funds have been provided in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Indemnifier shall have the right to elect to participate in or assume the defence of the Tax Contest and the provisions of Section 7.6.1 shall apply thereto, mutatis mutandis. If such Target does not receive sufficient funds within a thirty (30) day period following the sending to the Vendors of a notice of a Tax Contest to entitle it to fulfill all legal prerequisites necessary to contest a Tax Contest, the Target shall be entitled to settle the Tax Contest and the Indemnifier shall be required to indemnify the Target pursuant to the terms of this Agreement first from the amounts held in the Escrow Amount, to the extent thereof, and thereafter from the Indemnifier’s own resources. To the extent that the required funds have been provided by the Indemnifier and the contestation of the Tax Contest has resulted in a Final Determination by the competent authority or court rejecting the Tax Contest in its entirety, the Target shall release and pay the funds received from the Indemnifier back to the Indemnifier within the five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the funds from the third party or the application of the funds to other Tax obligations of any Target. To the extent that the Tax Contest has been either wholly or partially upheld by the Final Determination of the competent authority or the court, the Target shall release and pay back to the Indemnifier the amount, if any, by which the funds provided by the Indemnifier and that are described in this Section 7.7 exceed the amount that must be paid by any Target, pursuant to the Final Determination of the Tax Contest within the five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the funds from the third party or the application of the funds to other Tax obligations of any Target. If the amount of funds that is reimbursed pursuant to the Final Determination of the Tax Contest includes an amount of interest, the Target shall pay to the Indemnifier within the five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the funds from the third party or the application of the funds to other Tax obligations of any Target an amount equal to the interest received on the funds that were paid or deposited, less an amount equal to the amount, as determined by the Target, that any Target shall pay to any Governmental Authority as Taxes on the interest.

| 7.10 | Failure to Give Timely Notice

A failure to give timely notice as provided in this Article 7 shall not affect the rights or obligations of any Party except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any Party which was entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or otherwise sustained a Loss as a result of such failure or was prejudiced in its ability to assert any rights or defences.

| 7.11 | Payment and Interest

All Losses shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, calculated and payable monthly, both before and after judgement, from the date on which notice of Claim was given to the Indemnifier, to the date of payment by the Indemnifier to the Indemnified Party. Any Indemnity Payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be grossed up by the amount of any applicable withholding Taxes, except to the extent a Tax credit in respect of such withheld amount is available to the Indemnified Party.
