(d) At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Vendor the Sales Taxes, other than GST, payable in respect of the purchase and sale of the Assets pursuant hereto (excluding the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights) which Vendor shall remit according to Applicable Law.

(e) If Vendor is required to collect from Purchaser any other tax, fee or charge under Applicable Law in connection with Purchaser acquiring the Assets, then Purchaser shall pay the amount of those taxes, fees or charges to Vendor, and Vendor shall remit those amounts in the manner required by Applicable Law.

(f) If any payment made under this Agreement is deemed by Section 182 (or any other provision) of the GST Legislation or any provision of any provincial legislation to be inclusive of GST or similar taxes, the paying Party agrees to increase the payment amount by an amount equal to the product of the aggregate of the GST percentage multiplied by the amount otherwise payable.

(g) Following Closing:

(i) Purchaser and CPEC shall notify Vendor in writing within five (5) days of receipt by Purchaser or CPEC of written notice from a Governmental Authority of any pending or threatened Tax audits, proposals, assessments or reassessments of Purchaser or CPEC for or on account of Taxes under subsection 116(5) or 116(5.3) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) arising from the acquisition of the Assets by Purchaser hereunder (a “Tax Proceeding”) provided that (x) in the event of a failure to so provide such written notice, Vendor’s obligations under this Agreement will only be limited to the extent that its ability to participate in the Tax Proceeding was prejudiced by the failure of Purchaser and CPEC to provide prompt written notice; and (y) a general Tax audit of Purchaser or CPEC shall not constitute a Tax Proceeding unless or until a Governmental Authority makes a written inquiry or requests information or submissions that are specific to the tax residency of Vendor.

(ii) [Tax-related covenant redacted].

- 27 -

(iii) Vendor shall be entitled to participate in a Tax Proceeding (including retaining legal counsel and other advisors at its own expense) and, provided Vendor participates in the Tax Proceeding, Vendor, Purchaser and CPEC shall (w) cooperate with each other in good faith, and with the officers, employees, consultants, legal counsel and other advisors of each other Party, in making submissions or representations to, or participating in discussions with, the applicable Governmental Authority in connection with a Tax Proceeding; (x) make available to the other Party and to any Governmental Authority all information, records and documents relating to the Tax Proceeding as may be reasonably requested by the Governmental Authority or the other Party; and (y) furnish the other Party with copies of all relevant written correspondence received from any Governmental Authority in connection the Tax Proceeding, all with a view to minimizing the aggregate amount of any potential obligations of Vendor under this Section 2.9(g).

2.10 Deposit

(a) Vendor acknowledges receipt from Purchaser, on the date of execution of this Agreement, of a cash deposit equal to forty-five million dollars (CAD $45,000,000) (the “Deposit”) paid by wire transfer, which shall be held by Vendor, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) If Closing does not occur and:

(i) if the reason Closing does not occur is solely due to one or more of (x) the termination of this Agreement by Purchaser and CPEC pursuant to Section 10.2 as a result of Purchaser’s and CPEC’s Closing conditions set forth in Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b) not being satisfied at or before the Closing Time or by the Outside Time (whichever occurs first) through no act, default or omission of Purchaser or CPEC where the failure of any of the foregoing conditions to be satisfied was due to the wilful and material breach by Vendor of one or more of its pre-Closing covenants hereunder and/or an intentional and material misrepresentation or fraud by Vendor and/or any of its Affiliates under Section 5.1 (collectively, “Vendor Wilful Breach”), or (y) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2 by Purchaser and CPEC, then: (A) the full amount of the Deposit and the Deposit Interest Amount shall be paid by Vendor to Purchaser for Purchaser’s own account absolutely no later than two (2) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement, and (B) Vendor shall concurrently pay to Purchaser a break fee in the amount of forty-five million dollars (CAD $45,000,000) (“Break Fee”). For clarity, Purchaser’s receipt of the Break Fee is not a penalty but is a genuine pre-estimate by the Parties of the minimum damages that Purchaser and CPEC will suffer in the case of a Vendor Wilful Breach, having regard to the size of the Purchase Price, the amount of time between the date hereof and the Closing Time, and the time and expense incurred and to be incurred by Purchaser and CPEC, provided that payment of the Break Fee will not be the sole recourse of the Purchaser and CPEC on account of Losses they suffer in connection with a termination by Purchaser and CPEC in circumstances where the Break Fee is payable by Vendor;

- 28 -

(ii) if the reason Closing does not occur is solely due to one or more of (w) the termination of this Agreement by Vendor pursuant to Section 10.1 as a result of Vendor’s Closing conditions set forth in Section 10.1(a), Section 10.1(b) or Section 10.1(c) not being satisfied at or before the Closing Time or by the Outside Time (whichever occurs first) through no act, default or omission of Vendor where the failure of any of the foregoing conditions to be satisfied was due to the material breach of this Agreement by Purchaser or CPEC and/or a material misrepresentation or fraud by Purchaser or CPEC and/or any of their Affiliates under Section 5.3; (x) the termination of this Agreement by Vendor pursuant to Section 10.1 as a result of Vendor’s Closing condition set forth in Section 10.1(e) not being satisfied at or before the Closing Time or by the Outside Time (whichever first occurs) through no act, default or omission of Vendor due to CPEC’s failure to use commercially reasonable efforts as contemplated by Section 4.3; (y) an election by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.13(a) at or before the Outside Time; or (z) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2 by Vendor, then: (A) the Deposit and the Deposit Interest Amount shall be retained by Vendor for Vendor’s own account absolutely, as liquidated damages, to compensate Vendor for its Losses in connection with the Transaction and the delay or permanent impairment caused to Vendor’s efforts to sell the Assets, and (B) except in circumstances where the failure of any of the foregoing conditions to be satisfied was due, in whole or in part, to the wilful and material breach by Purchaser and/or CPEC of one or more of its pre-Closing covenants hereunder and/or an intentional and material misrepresentation or fraud by Purchaser and/or CPEC under Section 5.3 (collectively, “Purchaser Wilful Breach”), in consideration for its retention of the Deposit and the Deposit Interest Amount, Vendor hereby waives any and all claims, rights or additional remedies that may be available to it, at law or in equity, as a result of Closing not occurring in such circumstances. For clarity, Vendor’s retention of the Deposit and the Deposit Interest Amount is not a penalty but is a genuine pre-estimate by the Parties of the damages, or in the case of a Purchaser Wilful Breach, minimum damages, that Vendor will suffer, having regard to the size of the Purchase Price, the amount of time between the date hereof and the Closing Time, and the time and expense incurred and to be incurred by Vendor; and

(iii) if Closing does not occur for any reason other than as set forth in Section 2.10(b)(i) or Section 2.10(b)(ii), the Deposit and the Deposit Interest Amount shall be paid by Vendor to Purchaser for Purchaser’s own account absolutely no later than two (2) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement,

provided that except as expressly set forth above in this Section 2.10(b), termination of this Agreement prior to Closing will not limit the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to the Parties under this Agreement or otherwise respectively, including but not limited to a breach of, or non-compliance with, representations, warranties, covenants and obligations related to anti-corruption in this Agreement. For greater certainty, this Section 2.10(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

- 29 -

(c) If Closing occurs, at the Closing Time, Vendor will apply the Deposit and Deposit Interest Amount as partial payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.2, and applied solely against the Cash Consideration for purposes of Section 2.7(a).

2.11 Restrictions on Resale of Consideration Shares

(a) The Vendor acknowledges that subject to the Registration Rights Agreement:

(i) the Consideration Shares have not been qualified for distribution in any province or territory of Canada or elsewhere by the filing of a prospectus with any Securities Regulatory Authority or otherwise;

(ii) the Consideration Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or the Applicable U.S. Securities Laws of any state of the United States and these securities may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the United States without registration under the 1933 Act or compliance with requirements of an exemption from registration and the applicable laws of all applicable states;

(iii) Vendor is not a “U.S. Person” and the Consideration Shares have been acquired outside of the United States in an “offshore transaction” with no “directed selling efforts” in the United States, as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act;

(iv) except as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, CPEC has no present intention of filing a prospectus under Applicable Canadian Securities Laws qualifying the distribution of the Consideration Shares or a registration statement under the 1933 Act in respect of the Consideration Shares;

(v) the Consideration Shares are being issued to Vendor hereunder in reliance upon the “asset acquisition” exemption contained in subsection 2.12 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions and accordingly will be subject to resale restrictions under Applicable Canadian Securities Laws and may not be resold (except in accordance with Applicable Canadian Securities Laws) until expiry of the restricted period prescribed by section 2.5 of National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities;

(vi) the Consideration Shares shall have attached to them whether through an ownership statement issued under a direct registration or other electronic book-entry system, or on any certificates evidencing the Consideration Shares that may be issued, as applicable, the following legend as prescribed by section 2.5 of National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities, with the necessary information inserted:

Unless permitted under securities legislation, the holder of this security must not trade the security before [date that is 4 months and a day after the Closing Date].

(vii) CPEC will be required by Applicable Canadian Securities Laws to complete and publicly file a “Report of Exempt Distribution” on Form 45-106F1 on SEDAR with the applicable Securities Regulatory Authorities and Vendor agrees to provide CPEC with information and assistance as CPEC reasonably requests for such purpose.

- 30 -

(b) CPEC shall take all necessary action to cause the restrictive legend above to be removed from the Consideration Shares when and as permitted by Applicable Securities Laws and the policies of the TSX or NYSE, as applicable, upon CPEC’s receipt of a written request from Vendor to cause such restrictive legend to be removed.

2.12 Restrictions on Share Repurchases

[Restrictions redacted.]

2.13 Inability to Deliver Consideration Shares

In the event that CPEC uses commercially reasonable efforts as contemplated by Section 4.3 but is unable to satisfy the condition to Closing in Section 10.1(e) by the fourth (4^th) Business Day prior to the Outside Time (or such earlier time as agreed to in writing by the Parties), Purchaser shall, at its election in writing to Vendor and in its sole discretion, either:

(a) forfeit to Vendor the Deposit and the Deposit Interest Amount for Vendor’s own account absolutely in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(ii); or

(b) elect for the Cash Consideration to be deemed to be increased by the value of the Consideration Shares (being two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000)); and provided that, at Closing, Purchaser makes the payment contemplated by Section 2.6(i), as adjusted by the increase to the Cash Consideration set forth above, the following shall apply:

(i) the number of Consideration Shares shall be decreased to “0”, with the increased Cash Consideration in this Section 2.13(b) to be paid and allocated to Vendor in place of the Consideration Shares;

(ii) the deliveries at Closing of the items referred to in Sections 2.6(c), 2.6(d), 2.6(h), 2.6(k) and 2.6(m) (as regards the Consideration Shares) will not be applicable; and

(iii) Vendor will be deemed to have waived the condition to Closing in Section 10.1(e),

and, for greater certainty, such election shall be deemed to be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser fails to so make an election by the fourth (4^th) Business Day prior to the Outside Time, Purchaser will be deemed to have made the election in Section 2.13(a).

- 31 -

2.14 Assumption of Certain Liabilities

In the determination of the consideration payable for the Assets, Vendor and Purchaser confirm and agree that: (i) past, present and future Environmental Liabilities have been taken into account in establishing the value of the Assets; (ii) such Environmental Liabilities cannot be separated from the ownership rights in the Assets; and (iii) moreover, that such obligations are not capable of quantification as of the Closing Time. Vendor and Purchaser have not attributed a specific or agreed to value with regard to either: (i) such Environmental Liabilities; or (ii) the indemnities provided for herein, nor shall there be any related adjustments made to the consideration pursuant to Section 9.1. For greater certainty, neither the existence nor amount of any accounting reserve for asset reclamation obligations or similar matters in the financial statements or accounting records of Vendor or Purchaser has been of any relevance to either Vendor or Purchaser in determining the value of the Assets.

Article 4
CONSENTS AND Regulatory Approvals

4.1 Consents

(a) Where a Title and Operating Document contains a Right of First Refusal or otherwise provides that Vendor shall obtain the written consent from a Third Party prior to the disposition of any rights subject to the Title and Operating Document, or provides for the assignment and novation of the Title and Operating Document, to Purchaser, as the case may be, Vendor shall promptly serve all required notices after execution of this Agreement and both Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents, or waivers of Rights of First Refusal, prior to Closing.

(b) Subject to Section 4.1(a), where a Title and Operating Document provides or legally requires that Vendor shall obtain the written consent from a Third Party prior to the disposition of any rights subject to the Title and Operating Document, or provides for the assignment and novation of a Title and Operating Document, to Purchaser, the failure to obtain such consent prior to the Closing Time shall not constitute grounds for failing to close the Transaction and shall not constitute a breach of any of Vendor’s covenants, representations or warranties.

(c) Vendor shall give prompt written notice to Purchaser, no later than seven (7) Business Days prior to Closing, of all written consents sought for which consents are either granted and received prior to such date or refused or otherwise not obtained prior to such date.

- 34 -

(f) If any Third Party elects to exercise a Right of First Refusal, the Vendor will promptly notify the Purchaser and, subject to the operation of Article 7, the Purchaser will proceed only with the acquisition of those interests in the Assets to which those exercised Third Party Rights of First Refusal do not directly pertain. Subject to Article 7 and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Parties will proceed with Closing for those unaffected Assets, and will reduce the Purchase Price by the value attributed to the Assets upon which a Right of First Refusal has been exercised.

(g) Purchaser shall be liable to Vendor and its Representatives for and, as a separate and independent covenant, shall indemnify and save harmless Vendor from and against all Losses arising out of, or attributable to, the use of Purchaser’s allocations under Section 4.1(e).

- 35 -

(iv) keep the other Party apprised of the status of any communications with, and provide copies or summaries of such communications to the other Party as are material, as well as provide copies to the other Party of any inquiries or requests for additional information from any Governmental Authority;

(v) not participate in any planned meeting or planned discussion (whether in person, by phone or otherwise) with a Governmental Authority unless it consults with the other Party in advance and gives the other Party the opportunity to attend thereat (except (A) where the timing of the response requested by the Governmental Authority does not reasonably permit such consultation, (B) the Governmental Authority expressly requests that the other should not be present at the meeting or discussion or part or parts of the meeting or discussion, or (C) where competitively or commercially sensitive information may be discussed, in which case, with respect to meetings and discussions with the Governmental Authority, every effort will be made to allow legal counsel to participate);

(c) The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Competition Act Approval provided however that nothing in this Agreement shall require Purchaser to propose, negotiate, effect or agree to (and the Vendor and its Affiliates shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, propose, negotiate, effect or agree to): (i) the sale, divestiture or disposition of any of its or its Affiliates’ assets or businesses or the Assets, (ii) any interim or permanent hold separate order, or (iii) any action or behavioural remedy or form of undertakings with respect to, or other restrictions on, its or its Affiliates’ assets or businesses or the Assets.

Any discrepancies disclosed by such audit having at least a [discrepancy minimum redacted] impact shall be identified in writing to Vendor within one month following the completion of such audit, and Vendor shall respond in writing to any claims or discrepancies within one month of the receipt of such claims. To the extent that the Parties are unable to resolve any outstanding claims or discrepancies disclosed by such audit within one month of the response of Vendor, such dispute will be referred to [name of auditor redacted] (or if [name of auditor redacted] is unable or unwilling to act, to another nationally recognized firm of chartered accountants in Canada), acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, whose determination shall be final and shall be binding on the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on the firm of chartered accountants which will make such determination, then such firm shall be selected by Vendor, in good faith, provided that such firm may not be Vendor’s auditors. The costs and expenses of the accounting firm will be borne by the unsuccessful Party to any dispute referred to expert determination pursuant to this Section 9.3, provided that if the expert determination involves more than one matter and neither Party is successful on all matters subject to expert determination, the costs and expenses of the accounting firm will be borne as determined by the accounting firm.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1(a), Purchaser and CPEC agree that once Closing has occurred, Vendor shall have no liability whatsoever for any Environmental Liabilities except, subject to the limitations set out in Section 11.3, to the extent liable pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) due to a breach of the environmental representation and warranty specifically made by Vendor in Section 5.1(n). In this regard, once Closing has occurred, Purchaser:

(d) shall be solely liable and responsible for all Vendor’s Losses; and

(e) as a separate covenant shall indemnify and save Vendor and its Representatives harmless from and against all claims brought against them and all Losses which they suffer, sustain, pay or incur,

arising from or attributable to any Environmental Liabilities, however and whenever arising or accruing, and Purchaser shall assume, perform, pay and discharge all Environmental Liabilities and furthermore, Purchaser and CPEC will each be deemed to have released Vendor from any claims Purchaser or CPEC may have against Vendor with respect to all Environmental Liabilities under Applicable Law, at equity or common law or otherwise, including the right to name Vendor as a third party under any action or enforcement proceeding commenced against Purchaser or CPEC. This liability and indemnity and release shall apply without limit and without regard to cause or causes, including the negligence or the wilful misconduct of any of Vendor, CPEC or Purchaser or any other Person or otherwise. Purchaser and CPEC each acknowledge and agree that they shall not be entitled to any rights or remedies as against Vendor or its Representatives under Applicable Law, at equity or common law pertaining to any Environmental Liabilities, including the right to name Vendor or its Representatives as a ‘third party’ to any action commenced by any Person against Purchaser or CPEC.

- 68 -

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the limitations set out in Section 11.3, the liability of and indemnity provided by Purchaser in this Section 11.2 shall not apply to the extent Vendor is liable to Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.1(a)(iii) due to a breach of the environmental representation and warranty specifically made by Vendor in Section 5.1(n).

For greater certainty, and without any limitation to the liability assumptions, indemnities or other provisions of this Section 11.2, Purchaser and CPEC agree that after Closing:

(i) Purchaser shall pay any and all costs that are required by Applicable Laws related to the Reclamation Xxxxx; and

(ii) Purchaser shall commence or take over and complete any and all work required by Applicable Law to be conducted on the Reclamation Xxxxx in place of Vendor. All operations and activities to be conducted on the Reclamation Xxxxx pursuant hereto shall be performed by Purchaser in accordance with Applicable Laws, good industry practice in Alberta and following the standard of care which would be followed by a prudent operator.

11.3 Limitation of Claims

(a) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, in the absence of fraud:

(i) no claim shall be made, or otherwise be enforceable, by Purchaser or CPEC against Vendor in respect of:

(A) the representations and warranties of Vendor set forth in Section  5.1;

(B) an indemnity or claim in respect of such representations and warranties pursuant to paragraph  11.1(a)(iii); or

(C) Vendor’s interim operation of the Assets pursuant to Section  8.1; and

(ii) no claim shall be made, or otherwise be enforceable, by Vendor against Purchaser or CPEC in respect of:

(A) the representations and warranties of Purchaser and CPEC contained in this Agreement; or

(B) an indemnity or claim in respect of such representations and warranties pursuant to paragraph  11.1(b)(iii) or paragraph 11.1(c)(iii);

- 69 -

unless notice of such claim, including reasonably detailed particulars thereof, is given by the claimant to the other Parties within the period of [survival period redacted] from the Closing Time. Without affecting the foregoing limitation, if a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of any act, omission or state of facts that may give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article 11 from another Party (the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, provided that in the event of a failure to so provide prompt written notice, the Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Article 11 will only be limited to the extent that its ability to defend such claim was prejudiced by the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide prompt written notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to conduct, settle or otherwise dispose of any legal action advanced by a Third Party and in respect of which indemnification is sought without the consent of the Indemnified Party provided that the Indemnifying Party has expressly and irrevocably agreed in writing that it has accepted responsibility for such legal action, and further provided that any settlement shall be subject to the prior approval of the Indemnified Party, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnifying Party will consult with the other Parties, which will be entitled to retain its own counsel and participate in the litigation at its own expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to conduct, settle or otherwise dispose of such legal actions advanced by a Third Party to the extent such actions (i) seek equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (ii) involve criminal liability, or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that the claim would result in monetary damages or payment in excess of the amounts for which the Indemnifying Party is obliged to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, the Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that:

(iii) nothing contained in this Agreement shall impose any liability on a Party for another Party’s or its Representatives’ income tax liabilities except where such liability arises due to the breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1(e) or Section 5.3(e);

(iv) other than pursuant to Section 10.1 and Section 11.2, which sections are not, for greater certainty, impacted by this Section 11.3(b)(ii), nothing contained in this Agreement shall impose any liability on a Party for another Party’s or its Representatives’ consequential losses, loss of profit or special or punitive damages, provided that this Section 11.3(b)(ii) shall not preclude a Party or its Representatives from entitlement to indemnification for such Party’s or its Representatives’ liability to a Third Party for consequential damages, loss of profit or special or punitive damages which such Third Party is entitled to recover from that Party; and

(v) the liabilities and indemnities prescribed by Section 11.1 do not provide an extension of any representation or warranty of any of Vendor, Purchaser or CPEC contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.3.

(c) Subject to Section 11.3(f), Vendor, on the one hand, and Purchaser and CPEC, in the aggregate, on the other hand, shall have no liability for, and none of Vendor, on the one hand, and Purchaser and CPEC, in the aggregate, on the other hand, or their respective Representatives, respectively, shall be entitled to, any claim for liability or indemnity for Losses under Section 11.1(a)(iii), Section 11.1(b)(iii) or Section 11.1(c)(iii) which relate to a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 5.1 or Section 5.3, as applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of all such claims exceeds an amount equal to [claim minimum redacted], and Vendor’s, on the one hand, or Purchaser’s and CPEC’s, in the aggregate, on the other hand, liability, as the case may be, shall be limited to only the amount of such claims, which exceed [claim minimum redacted].

- 70 -

(d) Subject to Section 11.3(f), but notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, in no event shall the total liabilities and indemnities of Vendor, on the one hand, or Purchaser or CPEC, in the aggregate, on the other hand, in this Agreement for Losses under Section 11.1(a)(iii), Section 11.1(b)(iii) or Section 11.1(c)(iii) which relate to a breach of the representations and warranties in Section  5.1 or Section 5.3, as applicable, exceed an amount equal to [claim limit redacted].

(e) Subject to Section 11.3(f), in no event shall the total liabilities and indemnities of Vendor in this Agreement for Losses exceed an amount equal to [claim limit redacted], and this clause will survive termination of this Agreement.

(f) The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that:

(i) the covenant of Vendor in Section 2.9(g), together with the indemnity in Section 11.1(a)(iv) respecting any breach of such covenant, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser and CPEC for Taxes arising to Purchaser or CPEC under subsections 116(5) or 116(5.3) of the Income Tax Act (Canada);

(ii) Vendor shall not have any liability under Section 11.1(a)(iii) for a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1(e) in connection with the Taxes described in Section 11.3(f)(i); and

(iii) Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d) and 11.3(e) shall not apply to any breach of Vendor’s covenant in Section 2.9(g) or any indemnity claim or any amount payable or paid by Vendor pursuant to Section 2.9(g) or Section 11.1(a)(iv) relating to such breach; and

(iv) in no event shall the total liabilities and indemnities of Vendor in this Agreement in connection with the covenant of Vendor in Section 2.9(g) and the indemnity in Section 11.1(a)(iv) respecting any breach of such covenant exceed, in the aggregate, an amount equal to [claim limit redacted].

(g) The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that an obligation under this Agreement to provide written notice of a claim and in the manner specified under this Agreement and the limitations on liability set out in Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d) and 11.3(e), are intended by the Parties as a limitation of liability that represents a fair and equitable allocation of the risks and liabilities that each Party has agreed to assume in connection with the subject matter hereof and is not an agreement within the provision of subsection 7(2) of the Limitations Act (Alberta).

(h) Except with respect to the post-Closing covenants or post-Closing agreements to be performed by a Party under this Agreement or any agreement or other certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith, following the completion of Closing, this Article 11 sets forth the sole rights and remedies of each Party and its Representatives in connection with: (i) the Transaction; and (ii) any act, omission, circumstance or other matter arising out of, resulting from, attributable to or connected with any default or breach of this Agreement made by any other Party, and such first mentioned Party and its Representatives shall have no other right or remedy (whether legal, equitable, fiduciary or in tort) whatsoever, against the other Parties or their Representatives.

(i) The provisions of this Article 11 shall survive Closing for the benefit of each of the Parties.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, no offering of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.3 shall relieve the Corporation of its obligations to effect Demand Offerings pursuant to Section 2.2.

An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus any applicable local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party may settle any claims in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party without the express written consent of an indemnified party, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will survive the expiry of this Agreement and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any current or former officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive any transfer of securities pursuant thereto. In the event the indemnification is unavailable in whole or in part for any reason under this Section 4.2, the Corporation and the Holders shall contribute to the aggregate of all Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Corporation and the Holders in connection with the event giving rise to liability.

(e) Holder is Trustee

The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Section 4.2, each Holder is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other indemnified persons referred to in Section 4.2(a).
