The Parties agree to issue jointly a press release with respect to this Agreement after its due execution and at a time to be mutually agreeable to the Parties.

Each Party shall: (a) not issue any press release or otherwise make public statements with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; and (b) not make any filing with any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement without the consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party shall enable the other Party to review and comment on all such press releases prior to the release thereof and shall enable the other Party to review and comment on such filings prior to the filing thereof (other than with respect to confidential information contained in such filing); provided, however, that the foregoing shall be subject to each Party’s overriding obligation to make any disclosure or filing in accordance with applicable Laws, including U.S. Securities Laws, and if such disclosure or filing is required and the other Party has not reviewed or commented on the disclosure or filing, the Party making such disclosure or filing shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior oral or written notice to the other Party, and if such prior notice is not possible, to give such notice immediately following the making of such disclosure or filing. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prevent either Party from making internal announcements to employees and having discussions with shareholders and financial analysts and other stakeholders so long as such statements and announcements are consistent with and limited in content to that contained in the most recent press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 2.12 related to the approval or contents of filings with Governmental Entities will not apply with respect to filings in connection with the Regulatory Approvals, the Instadose Circular, the Interim Order or the Final Order which are governed by other sections of this Agreement.

Any such amounts will be deducted, withheld and remitted from the consideration payable pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to Instadose Shareholders in respect of which such deduction, withholding and remittance was made; provided that such deducted and withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding MZKR Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares by reason of any split or consolidation of the issued and outstanding MZKR Shares, then the Consideration to be paid per Instadose Share shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to Instadose Shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement and the Arrangement prior to such action and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Consideration to be paid per Instadose Share.

- 23 -

 

 

 

(e)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any standstill, confidentiality, non-disclosure, business purpose, use or similar agreement or restriction between Instadose and any other Person, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Instadose Shareholder Approval having been obtained, Instadose receives a request for material non-public information, or to enter into discussions, from a Person that proposes to Instadose an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.6 (and which has not been withdrawn) and the Instadose Board determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal (disregarding, for the purposes of such determination, any due diligence access condition to which such Acquisition Proposal is subject), then, and only in such case, Instadose may:

 

 

 

(i)

provide the Person making such Acquisition Proposal with, or access to, information regarding Instadose and its Subsidiaries, but only to the extent that MZKR had previously been, or is concurrently, provided with, or access to, the same information; and/or

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

enter into, participate in, facilitate and maintain discussions or negotiations with, and otherwise cooperate with or assist, the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, regardless of whether such Person was restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing standstill, confidentiality, non-disclosure, business purpose, use or similar restriction and regardless of the covenants in Section 5.6(c),

 

 

 

 

 

 

if, and only if:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Instadose has entered into a confidentiality agreement; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

Instadose has been, and continues to be, in compliance in all material respects with this Section 5.6.

 

 

 

 

 

(f)

Instadose shall not accept, approve, or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (a “Proposed Agreement”), other than a confidentiality agreement as contemplated by Section 5.6(e)(iii), unless:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

the Instadose Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

the Instadose Shareholder Approval has not been obtained;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Instadose has been, and continues to be, in compliance in all material respects with this Section 5.6;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

Instadose has provided MZKR with a notice in writing that there is a Superior Proposal together with all documentation related to and detailing the Superior Proposal, including a copy of any Proposed Agreement relating to such Superior Proposal;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(v)

five (5) Business Days (the “Response Period”) shall have elapsed from the date MZKR received the notice and documentation referred to in Section 5.6(f)(iv) from Instadose and, if MZKR has proposed to amend the terms of the Arrangement in accordance with Section 5.6(g), the Instadose Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial and legal advisors, that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement by MZKR;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(vi)

prior to entering into such definitive agreement, understanding or arrangement Instadose terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2(a)(iv)(B); and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(vii)

Instadose enters into a definitive agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal within five (5) Business Days after the expiry of the Response Period.

 

 
- 24 -

 

 

 

(g)

Instadose acknowledges and agrees that, during the Response Period or such longer period as Instadose may approve for such purpose, MZKR shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of this Agreement, including an increase in, or modification of, the Consideration. The Instadose Board will review any such proposal to determine in good faith whether MZKR’s proposal to amend the Agreement would result in the Acquisition Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the Instadose Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal as compared to the proposed amendments to the terms of the Agreement, it will promptly advise MZKR and enter into an amended agreement with MZKR reflecting such proposed amendments. Each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.6 and MZKR shall be afforded a new Response Period in respect of each such Acquisition Proposal from the date on which MZKR received the notice and documentation referred to in Section 5.6(f)(iv) in respect of such new Superior Proposal from Instadose.

 

 

 

 

(h)

In circumstances where Instadose provides MZKR with notice of a Superior Proposal and all documentation contemplated by Section 5.6(f)(iv) on a date that is less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Shareholder Meeting, Instadose may, or if and as requested by MZKR, Instadose shall, either proceed with or postpone the Shareholder Meeting to a date that is not more than seven (7) Business Days after the scheduled date of such Shareholder Meeting, as directed by MZKR, provided, however, that the Shareholder Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date later than the seventh (7th) Business Day prior to the Outside Date.

 

 

 

 

(i)

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Instadose Board from making an Instadose Change in Recommendation or from making any other disclosure to any securityholders prior to the Instadose Shareholder Approval having been obtained, if, in the good faith judgment of the Instadose Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Instadose Board’s exercise of its fiduciary duties or such action is otherwise required under applicable Law (including by responding to an Acquisition Proposal under a directors’ circular or otherwise as required under applicable Securities Laws); provided that:

 

 

(i)

no Instadose Change in Recommendation may be made in relation to an Acquisition Proposal unless the requirements of Section 5.6(f)(i)-5.6(f)(v), inclusive, have been satisfied; and

 

 

 

 

(ii)

prior to making an Instadose Change in Recommendation, Instadose shall give to MZKR not less than 48 hours’ notice of its intention to make such an Instadose Change in Recommendation.

 

 

(j)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Instadose shall advise its Subsidiaries and its Representatives of the prohibitions set out in this Section 5.6 and any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.6 by Instadose, its Subsidiaries or Representatives is deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.6 by Instadose.

 

5.7 Access to Information; Confidentiality

 

 

(a)

From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, subject to compliance with applicable Laws, Instadose shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, afford to MZKR and its representatives such access as MZKR may reasonably require at all reasonable times, including, for the purpose of facilitating integration business planning, to its officers, employees, agents, properties, books, records and contracts, and shall furnish MZKR with all data and information as MZKR may reasonably request.

 

 

 

 

(b)

MZKR and Instadose acknowledge and agree that information furnished pursuant to this Section 5.7 is considered confidential information of Instadose and MZKR shall not use or disclose such information other than with prior written consent of Instadose. Any such investigation by MZKR and its representatives shall not mitigate, diminish, or affect the representations and warranties of Instadose contained in this Agreement or any document or certificate given pursuant hereto.

 

 
- 25 -

 

 

5.8 Employment Arrangements

 

MZKR covenants and agrees that, from and after the Effective Time, MZKR will cause Instadose, and any successor to Instadose, to agree to honour, perform or cause to be performed all existing employment, indemnification, retention and change of control agreements and other compensation and employment and severance obligations of Instadose and all arrangements for the benefit of the officers or employees of Instadose party thereto, to the extent disclosed to MZKR, and will cause Instadose to make payment of amounts payable under any employment and retention agreements and incentive and deferred compensation plans or arrangements (including, without limitation, Instadose’s short term incentive plan), to the extent disclosed to MZKR, that are not paid out at the Effective Time pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement or otherwise, provided that nothing in this Section 5.8 shall give any employee or officer any right to continued employment or impair in any way the right of Instadose to terminate the employment of any employee or officer.

(b)

From and following the Effective Time, MZKR will cause Instadose to comply with its obligations under Section 5.10.

 

 

 

 

(c)

If Instadose or MZKR or any of their successors or assigns shall (i) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind-up into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity; or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns and transferees of Instadose or MZKR, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations of Instadose or MZKR, as applicable, set forth in this Section 5.9.

 

 

 

 

(d)

The provisions of this Section 5.9 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each insured or indemnified Person, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives and, for such purpose, Instadose hereby confirms that it is acting as trustee on their behalf, and agrees to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.9 on their behalf. Furthermore, this Section 5.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of the Effective Date for a period of six years.

Subject to Section 5.10(b), Instadose agrees that, upon request of MZKR, Instadose shall (i) perform such reorganizations of its corporate structure, capital structure, business, operations and assets or such other transactions as MZKR may request prior to the Effective Date, acting reasonably (each, a “Pre-Acquisition Reorganization”), and the Plan of Arrangement, if required, shall be modified accordingly and (ii) cooperate with MZKR and its advisors to determine the nature of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganizations that might be undertaken and the manner in which they would most effectively be undertaken.

 

 
- 26 -

 

 

 

(b)

Instadose and its Subsidiaries will not be obligated to participate in any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization under Section 5.10 unless such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization in the opinion of Instadose acting reasonably:

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

can be completed immediately prior to the Effective Date, and can be unwound in the event the Arrangement is not consummated without adversely affecting Instadose in any material manner;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

is not prejudicial to Instadose or to Instadose Shareholders, as a whole, in any material respect and cannot reasonably be expected to result in any taxes being imposed on, or any adverse tax or other consequences to any Instadose Shareholders incrementally greater than the taxes or other consequences to such party in connection with the consummation of the Arrangement in the absence of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

does not require Instadose to contravene any applicable Laws, or its organization documents; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

does not impair the ability of Instadose to consummate, and will not materially delay the consummation of, the Arrangement or the making of any Superior Proposal by any other person.

 

 

 

 

 

(c)

MZKR must provide written notice to Instadose of any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization in reasonable written detail at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Date. Upon receipt of such notice, Instadose and MZKR shall work cooperatively and use their best efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do such other acts and things as are necessary to give effect to such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, including any amendment to this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement and shall seek to have any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization made effective as of the last moment of the Business Day ending immediately prior to the Effective Date (but after MZKR has waived or confirmed that all of the conditions set out in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied).

 

 

 

 

 

(d)

MZKR agrees that it will be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses associated with any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization to be carried out at its request and shall indemnify and save harmless Instadose and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization (including in respect of any reversal, modification or termination of a Pre-Acquisition Reorganization) and that any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization will not be considered in determining whether a representation or warranty of Instadose under this Agreement has been breached (including where any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization requires the consent of any third party under a Contract). If the Arrangement is not completed, MZKR shall reimburse Instadose forthwith for all reasonable fees and expenses (including any professional fees and expenses and taxes) incurred by Instadose in considering or effecting all or any part of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and shall be responsible for any fees, expenses and costs (including professional fees and expenses and taxes) of Instadose in reversing or unwinding any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization that was effected prior to the Effective Date.

(v)

not participate in any meeting or discussion (whether in person, by phone or otherwise) with a Governmental Entity in respect of any Regulatory Approval unless it consults with the other Party in advance and gives the other Party the reasonable opportunity to attend and participate thereat.

 

 

(e)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, MZKR will use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure Investment Canada Act Approval, as applicable. To the extent that Instadose attends or participates in any meeting or discussion in connection with obtaining the Investment Canada Act Approval, Instadose will co-operate with, and be supportive of, MZKR in such meeting or discussion.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law or public policy, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to affect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

8.10 Counterparts, Execution

 

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Commencing at the Effective Time, each of the following events shall occur and shall be deemed to occur consecutively in the following order, except where noted, without any further authorization, act, or formality:

 

 

(a)

each Dissent Share shall be deemed to be transferred and assigned by such Dissenting Shareholder, without any further act of formality on its part, to MZKR (free and clear of any Liens) in accordance with, and for the consideration contemplated in, Article 4 and:

the registered holder thereof shall cease to be, and shall be deemed to cease to be, the registered holder of each such Dissent Share and the name of such registered holder shall be, and shall be deemed to be, removed from the register of Instadose Shareholders in respect of each such Dissent Share, and at such time each Dissenting Shareholder will have the rights set out in Section 4.1;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

the registered holder thereof shall be deemed to have executed and delivered all consents, releases, assignments, and waivers, statutory or otherwise, required to transfer and assign each such Dissent Share; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

MZKR shall be and shall be deemed to be the holder of all of the outstanding Dissent Shares and the central securities register of Instadose shall be, and shall be deemed to be, revised accordingly;

 

 

 

 

 

(b)

immediately following the preceding step, each Instadose Share (other than any Instadose Share held by MZKR or any of its Affiliates and any Dissent Share) shall be transferred and assigned, without any further act or formality on its part, to MZKR (free and clear of any liens, charges, and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever) in exchange for the Consideration, and

In no event shall any Instadose Shareholder be entitled to a fractional MZKR Share. Where the aggregate number of MZKR Shares to be issued to an Instadose Shareholder as consideration under the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a MZKR Share being issuable, the number of MZKR Shares to be received by such Instadose Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole MZKR Share, and such Instadose Shareholder will not be entitled to any compensation in respect of such fractional MZKR Share.

DISSENT RIGHTS

 

4.1 Dissent Rights

 

 

(a)

In connection with the Arrangement, each registered Instadose Shareholder may exercise rights of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) with respect to the Instadose Shares held by such Instadose Shareholder pursuant to sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and this Section 4.1(a); provided that, notwithstanding section 242(1)(a) of the BCBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in section 242(1)(a) of the BCBCA must be received by Instadose not later than 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) two Business Days immediately preceding the date of the Shareholder Meeting.

(b)

In no event shall MZKR or Instadose or any other Person be required to recognize a Dissenting Shareholder as a registered or beneficial owner of Instadose Shares or any interest therein (other than the rights set out in this Section 4.1) at or after the Effective Time, and at the Effective Time the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the central securities register of Instadose as at the Effective Time.

ARTICLE 5
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES AND DELIVERY OF CONSIDERATION

 

5.1 Certificates and Payments

 

 

(a)

Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Time, MZKR shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Depositary sufficient certificates representing MZKR Shares to satisfy the aggregate Consideration payable to the Instadose Shareholders in accordance with Section 3.1.

Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Instadose Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and any such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the registered holder of the Instadose Shares represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Instadose Shareholder, the Consideration that such Instadose Shareholder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Instadose Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.3, and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

5.2 Lost Certificates

 

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Instadose Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1 all have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration deliverable in accordance with such holder’s duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such issuance or payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such consideration is to be issued shall as a condition precedent to the delivery of such consideration, give a bond satisfactory to MZKR and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as MZKR may direct, or otherwise indemnify MZKR and Instadose in a manner satisfactory to MZKR and Instadose, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against MZKR or Instadose with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

5.3 Withholding Rights

 

MZKR, Instadose and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or direct MZKR, Instadose or the Depositary to deduct and withhold on their behalf, from any amount payable to any Person under this Plan of Arrangement (an “Affected Person”), such amounts as MZKR, Instadose or the Depositary determines, acting reasonably, are required or permitted to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of any other Law (a “Withholding Obligation”). To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Affected Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. MZKR, Instadose, and the Depositary shall also have the right to:

 

 

(a)

withhold and sell, or direct MZKR, Instadose or the Depositary to deduct and withhold and sell on their behalf, on their own account or through a broker (the “Broker”), and on behalf of any Affected Person; or

require the Affected Person to irrevocably direct the sale through a Broker and irrevocably direct the Broker to pay the proceeds of such sale to MZKR, Instadose, or the Depositary as appropriate (and, in the absence of such irrevocable direction, the Affected Person shall be deemed to have provided such irrevocable direction),

 

such number of MZKR Shares delivered or deliverable to such Affected Person pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement to produce sale proceeds (after deducting commissions payable to the Broker and other costs and expenses) sufficient to fund any Withholding Obligations. Any such sale of MZKR Shares shall be affected on a public market and as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. None of MZKR, Instadose, the Depositary, or the Broker will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale of such MZKR Shares, including any loss relating to the manner or timing of such sales, the prices at which the MZKR Shares are sold or otherwise.

 

5.4 Distributions with respect to Unsurrendered Share Certificates

 

No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to MZKR Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Instadose Shares unless and until the holder of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of Section 5.1 or Section 5.2. Subject to applicable Law and to Section 5.3, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of Consideration to which such holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of the dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such MZKR Shares.

 

5.5 Limitation and Proscription

 

To the extent that a former Instadose Shareholder shall not have complied with the provisions of Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 on or before the date that is six (6) years after the Effective Date (the “final proscription date”), then the Consideration that such former Instadose Shareholder was entitled to receive shall be automatically cancelled without any repayment of capital in respect thereof and the Consideration to which such former Instadose Shareholder was entitled, shall be delivered to MZKR by the Depositary and the MZKR Shares forming part of the Consideration shall be deemed to be cancelled, and the interest of the former Instadose Shareholder in such MZKR Shares (and any dividend or other distribution referred to in Section 5.4) to which it was entitled shall be terminated as of such final proscription date, and the certificates formerly representing Instadose Shares shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature as of such final proscription date.

From and after the Effective Time: (i) this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all Instadose Shares issued prior to the Effective Time; (ii) the rights and obligations of the registered holders of Instadose Shares (other than MZKR or any of its Affiliates), and of Instadose, MZKR, the Depositary and any transfer agent or other depositary in relation thereto, shall be solely as provided for in this Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement; and (iii) all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to any Instadose Shares shall be deemed to have been settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth herein.
