With respect to payment of Cash Consideration and Share Consideration to the MAG Shareholders under Section 3.1(d):

All Pan American Shares issued pursuant hereto shall be deemed to be validly issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable shares for all purposes of the BCBCA.

2.6No Fractional Cash Consideration
In any case where the aggregate amount of cash payable to a particular MAG Shareholder under this Plan of Arrangement would, but for this provision, include a fraction of a cent, the consideration payable shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent.

Pan American shall, within 30 days after receiving the completed joint election forms from an Eligible Holder, and subject to such joint election forms being correct and complete and in compliance with requirements imposed under the Tax Act (or any analogous provision of provincial income tax law), sign and return such forms to such Eligible Holder. Neither MAG, Pan American nor any successor corporation shall be responsible for the proper completion and filing of any joint election form (except for the obligation to sign and return the duly completed joint election forms which are received within 60 days of the Effective Date) or for any taxes, interest or penalties arising as a result of the failure of an Eligible Holder to properly or timely complete and file such joint election forms in the form and manner prescribed by the Tax Act (or any applicable provincial legislation). In its sole discretion, Pan American or any successor corporation may choose to sign and return a joint election form received by it more than 60 days following the Effective Date, but shall have no obligation to do so.

accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement occurring after the date of the Arrangement Agreement and prior to the Effective Time.

(f)Neither MAG nor Pan American, or any of their respective successors, will be liable to any person in respect of any Consideration (including any consideration previously held by the Depositary in trust for any such former holder) which is forfeited to MAG or Pan American or delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
3.2Lost Certificates
In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding MAG Shares that are ultimately entitled to Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit or statutory declaration of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and who was listed immediately prior to the Effective Time as the registered holder thereof on the securities registers maintained by or on behalf of MAG, the Depositary shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a certificate representing the Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, provided the holder to whom the Consideration is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery, give a bond satisfactory to Pan American and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as Pan American and the Depositary may direct, or otherwise indemnify Pan American and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to Pan American and the Depositary, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against Pan American or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
3.3Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates
No dividend or other distribution declared or paid after the Effective Time with respect to Pan American Shares shall be delivered to the holder of any certificate formerly representing MAG Shares unless and until the holder of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of Section 4.1. Subject to applicable Laws and to Section 4.1 at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of the Consideration to which such holder is thereby entitled, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of any dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the Pan American Shares to which such holder is entitled in respect of such holder’s Consideration.
3.4Withholding Rights
Pan American, MAG and the Depositary (in this section, the “payor”), shall each be entitled to deduct or withhold from any consideration or other amount payable (whether in cash or in kind) or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of MAG Securities (including any payment to Dissenting Shareholders) such amounts as the payor may be required to deduct or withhold therefrom
under any provision of applicable Laws in respect of Taxes. To the extent that any amounts so deducted or withheld are remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity when required by Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. To the extent that the amount required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to any holder or former holder of MAG Shares exceeds the cash component, if any, of the Consideration otherwise payable to such holder, the payor may sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the Consideration or other amount otherwise payable to such holder or former holder in the form of Pan American Shares as is necessary to provide sufficient funds (after deducting commissions payable, fees and other reasonable costs and expenses) to enable the payor to comply with such deduction and/or withholding requirements, and the payor shall notify such person thereof and remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate Governmental Entity and, if applicable, any portion of such net proceeds that is not required to be so remitted shall be paid to such person. Any such sale will be made in accordance with applicable Laws and at prevailing market prices, and Pan American shall not be under any obligation to obtain a particular price, or indemnify any person, in respect of a particular price, for the portion of the Pan American Shares or other securities, as applicable, so sold. No payor will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale arising under this Section 4.4.

(a)are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their MAG Shares, which fair value shall be the fair value of such shares immediately before the approval of the Arrangement Resolution, shall be paid an amount equal to such fair value by MAG, which fair value shall be determined in accordance with the procedures applicable to the payout value set out in Sections 244 and 245 of the BCBCA except that Pan American may enter into the agreement with registered holders who exercise such Dissent Rights or apply to the Court, all as contemplated under Sections 244 and 245 of the BCBCA, in lieu of MAG and such Dissenting Shareholder will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such Dissenting Shareholder not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of their MAG Shares; and
(b)are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their MAG Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement, as of the Effective Time, on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of MAG Shares and shall be entitled to receive only the Consideration contemplated in Section 3.1(d) hereof that such holder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such holder had not exercised Dissent Rights, and had made the Share Election for all MAG Shares held in accordance with Section 3.2,
but in no case shall Pan American or MAG or any other person be required to recognize any holder of MAG Shares who exercises Dissent Rights as a holder of MAG Shares after the time that is immediately
prior to the Effective Time, and the names of all such holders of MAG Shares who exercise Dissent Rights (and have not withdrawn such exercise of Dissent Rights prior to the Effective Time) shall be deleted from the register maintained by or on behalf of MAG in respect of the MAG Shares as holders of MAG Shares at the Effective Time and Pan American shall be recorded as the registered holder of such MAG Shares and shall be deemed to be the legal owner of such MAG Shares.
For greater certainty: (a) no holder of MAG Options, MAG DSUs, MAG PSUs, or MAG RSUs shall be entitled to Dissent Rights in respect of such holder’s MAG Options, MAG DSUs, MAG PSUs, or MAG RSUs, as applicable; and (b) in addition to any other restrictions in Section 238 of the BCBCA, no person who has voted MAG Shares, or instructed a proxyholder to vote such persons MAG Shares, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights with respect to the Arrangement.
