2.7Articles of Arrangement and Effective Date

 

(a)The Company shall file the Articles of Arrangement with the Director no later than the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in Article 5 (excluding conditions that, by their terms, are to be satisfied on the Effective Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) or such other date as the Company and the Purchaser may agree in writing (the “Effective Date”).

 

(b)The Arrangement shall be effective at the Effective Time on the Effective Date.

 

(c)The closing of the Arrangement will take place electronically.

 

2.8Treatment of Stock Options

 

(a)The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Arrangement will result in a “change of control” of the Company for the purposes of the Stock Options.

 

(b)The Company shall, promptly after the date of this Agreement, deliver to each holder of Stock Options a notice of the “change of control” (as contemplated in the terms of the Stock Options), pursuant to which:

 

(i)the Company may permit the holder of such Stock Options to exercise the Stock Options by delivering to the Company before the Effective Date a notice of exercise and a cash payment, cheque or bank draft equal to the aggregate exercise price for the Stock Options so exercised, with such exercise being effective immediately before the Effective Time; and

 

(ii)any Stock Options that have not been exercised by the Effective Time shall expire at the Effective Time.

 

23

 

 

(c)The Company shall take all steps as may be necessary or desirable to terminate the Stock Option Plan at the Effective Time.

 

(d)The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an Option Exercise Agreement from Louis Laflamme, which Option Exercise Agreement shall provide that:

 

(i)Louis Laflamme agrees to exercise the Laflamme Option by delivering to the Company before the Effective Date a cash payment, cheque or bank draft equal to the aggregate exercise price for the Laflamme Option, with such exercise being effective immediately before the Effective Time; and

 

(ii)if not exercised by the Effective Time, the Laflamme Option shall expire at the Effective Time.

 

(e)Notwithstanding Section 2.8(b) and 2.8(d), in lieu of delivering a cash payment, cheque or bank draft to the Company in respect of the aggregate exercise price payable upon the exercise of Stock Options and the Laflamme Option, each optionholder who elects to exercise such Stock Options or Laflamme Option in accordance with Section 2.8(b)(i) or 2.8(d)(i), as the case may be, may elect, by written notice to the Purchaser and the Company delivered before the Effective Date, to have the Company fund such aggregate exercise price by way of loan on the terms set out in this Section 2.8 (each, an “Option Loan”).

 

(f)Subject to receipt of the election notice referred to in Section 2.8(e), the Company shall, immediately before the Effective Time, loan to each electing optionholder an amount in cash equal to the aggregate exercise price payable by such optionholder to exercise the Stock Options and/or Laflamme Option, as the case may be, specified in such optionholder’s election notice (each, an “Option Loan Amount”). Each Option Loan shall be:

 

(i)advanced by the Company to the applicable optionholder and applied by the Company directly in satisfaction of such optionholder’s obligation to pay the aggregate exercise price under Section 2.8(b)(i) or 2.8(d)(i), as the case may be;

 

(ii)non-interest bearing and repayable by the applicable optionholder to the Company in full on the Effective Date; and

 

(iii)evidenced by a promissory note or other written acknowledgement of indebtedness, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, acting reasonably, to be executed and delivered by the applicable optionholder as a condition to the advance of the applicable Option Loan.

 

(g)Each optionholder who receives an Option Loan shall, as a condition to the advance of such Option Loan, irrevocably direct the Purchaser and the Depositary, as applicable, to pay, on such optionholder’s behalf and out of the Consideration or other closing proceeds otherwise payable to, or in respect of Common Shares held by, such optionholder under the Plan of Arrangement, an amount equal to the outstanding Option Loan Amount owing by such optionholder directly to the Company, in satisfaction of such holder’s repayment obligation under Section 2.8(f)(ii), before payment of the balance (if any) of such Consideration or other closing proceeds to the Depositary or such optionholder, as applicable. To the extent that the Consideration or other closing proceeds otherwise payable to any such optionholder are insufficient to repay the full Option Loan Amount owing by such optionholder, such optionholder shall remain liable to the Company for the unpaid balance of such Option Loan Amount, and the Company’s rights under this Section 2.8(g) are without prejudice to, and are in addition to, any other rights or remedies available to the Company to recover such unpaid balance.

 

24

 

 

(h)Each Option Loan is made solely as an accommodation to the applicable holder of Stock Options and/or the Laflamme Option, as the case may be, to facilitate the exercise of Stock Options and/or the Laflamme Option contemplated by Section 2.8(b)(i) and 2.8(d)(i), and none of the Company, the Purchaser or any other Person shall have any obligation to make an Option Loan available to any holder of Stock Options or the Laflamme Option who does not deliver an election notice in accordance with Section 2.8(e).

 

2.9Consideration

 

(a)For the purposes of this Agreement, “Consideration” means (i) $11,000,000, minus (ii) the Closing Indebtedness, minus (iii) the Transaction Expenses.

 

(b)Despite any other provision in this Agreement, if Dissent Rights are validly exercised and not withdrawn in respect of any Common Shares, the Consideration shall be adjusted downward as set out in the Plan of Arrangement.

 

(c)At least five Business Days before the Effective Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser an estimate of the Closing Statement prepared in accordance with GAAP (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting out: (i) an estimate of the Closing Indebtedness; (ii) an estimate of the Transaction Expenses; and (iii) the resulting estimate of the Consideration (the “Estimated Consideration”).

 

(d)The Company shall provide the Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access at all reasonable times to the personnel and properties of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and to the Books and Records to the extent necessary to review the Estimated Closing Statement, in each case, at the Purchaser’s sole expense. The Company shall consider in good faith any revisions to the Estimated Closing Statement proposed by the Purchaser and, to the extent the Company agrees to any such revisions in writing, such revisions shall be incorporated into the Estimated Closing Statement.

 

2.10Payment of Consideration

 

The Purchaser shall, on the Effective Date, deposit, or cause to be deposited:

 

(a)with the Depositary, the Estimated Consideration (adjusted for Dissent Rights as contemplated in Section 2.9(b), and adjusted in accordance with the directions of optionholders with respect to Option Loan Amounts as contemplated in Section 2.8(g)), minus the Adjustment Escrow Amount, Indemnity Escrow Amount and Shareholders’ Representative Escrow Amount; and

 

(b)with the Escrow Agent, the Adjustment Escrow Amount, Indemnity Escrow Amount and Shareholders’ Representative Escrow Amount.

 

2.11Adjustment to Consideration

 

(a)Within 60 days following the Effective Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative a statement prepared in accordance with GAAP setting out:

25

 

 

(b)If the Shareholders’ Representative does not notify the Purchaser in writing of its objections to any aspect of the Closing Statement within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Statement (an “Objection Notice”), the Shareholders’ Representative shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement as prepared in its entirety. During such 30-day period, the Purchaser shall make available, without cost to the Shareholders’ Representative, reasonable access to such accounting books and records of the Company as the Shareholders’ Representative reasonably requires in order to review, discuss and understand the Closing Statement and the processes employed by the Purchaser in connection with the determination of the amounts therein.

 

(c)If the Shareholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice to the Purchaser within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Statement, then the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative will work expeditiously and in good faith in an attempt to resolve such dispute within a further period of 20 days after the date of delivery of the Objection Notice, failing which the dispute may be submitted by the Shareholders’ Representative or the Purchaser for final determination to the Accounting Firm, and the determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error or fraud. The Shareholders’ Representative and the Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to complete its work within 30 days of its engagement, or such longer period as the parties may agree in writing (the “Final Determination Date”). The Accounting Firm shall allow each of the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative to present in writing their respective positions regarding the Closing Statement and the determination of the amounts therein, and each of the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other information to the Accounting Firm regarding the dispute. The Accounting Firm shall consider such additional documents, materials and other information. Any such other documents, materials or other information shall be copied to each of the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative and each of the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to reply thereto. The Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by the Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative, as the case may be, or less than the least value for such item claimed by the Purchaser or the Shareholders’ Representative, as the case may be. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall, despite anything to the contrary in this Agreement, be paid 50% by the Purchaser, with the other 50% to be Transaction Expenses.

 

(d)If the Consideration as determined pursuant to this Section 2.11 is greater than the Estimated Consideration (an “Upward Adjustment”), within five Business Days after the Final Determination Date: (i) the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction, delivered in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Depositary for distribution to the Shareholders in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement; and (ii) the Purchaser shall pay to the Depositary for distribution to the Shareholders in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement an amount equal to the Upward Adjustment.

 

(e)If the Estimated Consideration is greater than the Consideration as determined pursuant to this Section 2.11 (a “Downward Adjustment”), within five Business Days after the Final Determination Date: (i) the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction, delivered in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent to release an amount equal to the Downward Adjustment from the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Purchaser and the balance of the Adjustment Escrow Fund, if any, to the Depositary for distribution to the Shareholders in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement; and (ii) if the Adjustment Escrow Fund is not sufficient to cover such Downward Adjustment, the Shareholders’ Representative shall, on behalf of the Shareholders pro rata in accordance with each Shareholder’s respective portion of the Consideration received, promptly pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the unpaid balance of the Downward Adjustment.

 

26

 

 

(f)If the Consideration equals the Estimated Consideration, then no further amount will be payable, and, within five Business Days after the Final Determination Date, the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a joint written instruction, delivered in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, instructing the Escrow Agent to release the Adjustment Escrow Fund to the Depositary for distribution to the Shareholders in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement.

 

(g)Any payment made pursuant to this Section 2.11 will be treated as an adjustment to the Consideration for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

(h)If a Party fails to submit a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent in strict compliance with the time periods contemplated under this Section 2.11, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, to equitable remedies as contemplated in Section 8.4. No delay in providing such joint instruction to the Escrow Agent will be deemed to deny a Party its entitlement to its applicable portion of the Adjustment Escrow Fund.

 

2.12Withholdings

 

Each of the Purchaser, the Company, the Depositary and any other Person that makes a payment hereunder shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable to any Person under the Plan of Arrangement or any amount contemplated herein, such amounts as it is directed to deduct and withhold or is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act or any provision of any Law and remit such deduction and withholding amount to the appropriate Tax Authority. To the extent that amounts are so properly deducted, withheld and remitted, such deducted, withheld and remitted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Arrangement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding and remittance was made.

The Purchaser shall cause all Pre-Closing Tax Returns to be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice except as required by applicable Law provided that (i) the maximum amount of discretionary deductions shall be claimed in each Pre-Closing Tax Return regardless of past practice and (ii) expenditures (“SRED Expenditures”) in respect of “scientific research and experimental development” (within the meaning of the Tax Act) for each Pre-Closing Tax Period ending in 2026 shall be determined after the end of the taxation year ending November 30, 2026 and reported in Form T661 – “Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) Expenditures Claim” and T2 Schedule 31 – “Investment Tax Credit – Corporations” (collectively, the “SRED Returns”), as applicable. The Purchaser shall submit each Pre- Closing Tax Return in draft form to the Shareholders’ Representative at least 30 days before the date on which such Pre-Closing Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Governmental Authority (or as soon as practicable if the Effective Date occurs within 30 days before the date on which such Pre-Closing Tax Return is required to be filed). The Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right to review such draft Pre- Closing Tax Return and request that the Purchaser make reasonable changes by communicating such changes in writing to the Purchaser at least 10 days (five days where the Effective Date occurs within 30 days before the date on which such Pre-Closing Tax Return is required to be filed) before the date on which any such Pre-Closing Tax Return is required to be filed with the relevant Governmental Authority, which the Purchaser shall consider in good faith. The reasonable cost of preparation of the Pre-Closing Tax Returns shall, despite anything to the contrary in this Agreement, be Transaction Expenses. The Purchaser shall, if requested by the Shareholders’ Representative, cause the Company and/or any Company Subsidiary to make the designation pursuant to paragraph 111(4)(e) of the Tax Act in its Pre-Closing Tax Return for the taxation year ending immediately prior to the “loss restriction event” (as defined in the Tax Act) resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, such amounts designated to be as determined by the Shareholders’ Representative in accordance with the Pre-Closing Reorganization, provided that in no event shall the aggregate of the amounts so designated result in taxable income in an amount greater than NIL for such taxation year for purposes of the Tax Act.

(d)The Purchaser shall not be entitled to take, or cause to be taken, any of the following actions without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned: (i) request any audit or engage in any voluntary disclosure or similar process or initiate communications with any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period; (ii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, any limitation period for the assessment of any Tax or deficiency of the Company or any Company Subsidiary related to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period; or (iii) other than to the extent required to reflect adjustments resulting from the SRED Expenditures and any related investment tax credits reported on the SRED Returns, amend or refile any Tax Returns of the Company or any Company Subsidiary in respect of a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period, except, in each case, as may be required by applicable Law.

(e)If it is determined that the Company or any Company Subsidiary has made an election under subsection 83(2) of the Tax Act in respect of any dividend paid or payable by it on shares of any class of its capital stock and the full amount of such dividend exceeded the amount of the “capital dividend account” (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Company or such Company Subsidiary immediately before the dividend became payable, the Shareholders’ Representative hereby concurs (to the extent the Shareholders’ Representative is the recipient of the applicable dividend), and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the recipient(s) other than the Shareholders’ Representative of the relevant dividend to concur, in the making of an election under subsection 184(3) of the Tax Act in respect of such dividend and the Purchaser shall be entitled to cause the Company or such Company Subsidiary to make such election; provided that if such other recipient is the Company or another Company Subsidiary, the Purchaser shall have the discretion to cause the Company or other Company Subsidiary to concur in the making of such election.

 

(f)If it is determined that the Company or any Company Subsidiary has made an “excessive eligible dividend designation” (as defined in subsection 89(1) of the Tax Act), the Shareholders’ Representative hereby concurs (to the extent the Shareholders’ Representative is the recipient of the applicable dividend) and shall use reasonable efforts to cause the recipient(s) other than the Shareholders’ Representative of the relevant dividend to concur, in the making of an election under subsection 185.1(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount thereof and the Purchaser shall be entitled to cause the Company or such Company Subsidiary to make such election; provided that if such other recipient is the Company or another Company Subsidiary, the Purchaser shall have the discretion to cause the Company or other Company Subsidiary to concur in the making of such election.

 

(g)If, at any time after the date of this Agreement, a Party determines, or becomes aware that an “advisor” (as defined for purposes of section 237.3 or section 237.4 of the Tax Act) has determined, that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or that any step or steps in the series of transactions that includes the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, should be reported pursuant to the reporting requirements under section 237.3 of the Tax Act or the notification requirements under section 237.4 of the Tax Act (or any comparable provisions under provincial tax legislation), including as a result of any future amendments or proposed amendments to such provisions (the “Disclosure Requirements”), such Party will promptly inform the other Parties of its intent, or its advisor’s intent, to comply with the Disclosure Requirements and such Parties will cooperate in good faith with respect to preparing and filing the applicable information returns or notifications.

No Damages may be claimed under this Article 6 to the extent that such amounts have been taken into account in any adjustment to the Consideration under Section 2.11 and have been paid.

 

(d)For purposes of calculating the amount of any Damages that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification in connection with a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, any reference to “materiality”, “material respects”, or other similar qualification or limitation that is contained in or is otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty will be disregarded.

 

(e)Except as expressly set out in Section 6.8(f), nothing in this Agreement in any way restricts or limits the general obligation at law of an Indemnified Party to mitigate any Damages that it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by an Indemnifying Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement.

 

45

 

 

6.6Exclusive Remedy

 

Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, if the Arrangement takes effect the indemnification provisions set out in this Article 6 shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to the specified indemnified matters set out in this Article 6, it being agreed that nothing herein shall limit or impair any Party’s right to obtain specific performance or other injunctive relief with respect to any such matter.

 

6.7Direct Claims

 

The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any claim for indemnification under this Article 6 that has not arisen in respect of a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”). Any such notice will describe the breach or inaccuracy and other material facts and circumstances upon which such claim is based and the estimated amount of Damages involved, in each case, in reasonable detail in light of the facts then known to the Indemnified Party; provided however, that no defect in the information contained in such notice from the Indemnified Party to any Indemnifying Party will relieve such Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Article 6, except to the extent such failure to include information known to the Indemnified Party actually and materially prejudices such Indemnifying Party. In the case of a Direct Claim, if the Indemnifying Party delivers a written notice to the Indemnified Party stating that it objects to such Direct Claim (a “Dispute Notice”) within 15 days of receipt of written notice of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have 20 days from delivery of the Dispute Notice within which to make such investigation as the Indemnifying Party considers necessary or desirable. If the Direct Claim has not been resolved prior to the expiration of such 20-day period, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to them on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a Dispute Notice within 15 days of receipt of written notice of such Direct Claim, the Damages set out in such notice will be deemed admitted by, and be valid and binding upon, the Indemnifying Party.

 

6.8Third Party Claims

 

(a)In the case of a Proceeding made or commenced by any Person other than a party to this Agreement in respect of which an Indemnified Party is or may be entitled to indemnification from an Indemnifying Party under this Article 6 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will give notice to that effect together with particulars of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness. The failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Article 6, except to the extent such failure or delay actually and materially prejudices such Indemnifying Party.

 

(b)The Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party given not later than 15 days after receipt of the notice described in Section 6.8(a), assume control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim provided that:

 

(i)the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek any injunctive or other equitable relief;

 

(ii)if the named parties in the Third Party Claim include both the Indemnifying Party and an Indemnified Party, representation by the same counsel would, in the judgment of the Indemnified Party, still be appropriate notwithstanding any actual or potential differing interests between them;

 

(iii)if the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party and the Third Party Claim is not a Tax Proceeding, the Escrow Release Date has not occurred and the amount of the Third Party Claim (as determined by the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably) does not exceed the amount then in the Indemnity Escrow Fund minus the amount of any unpaid Claim Amounts; and

 

46

 

 

(iv)the Indemnifying Party has provided reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial ability to defend the Third Party Claim.

 

(c)If the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the Third Party Claim:

 

(i)it is conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement and otherwise that the Third Party Claim is within the scope of the indemnification provisions of this Article 6; and

 

(ii)the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (without any right to claim indemnification for such costs and expenses), and may participate in, but shall have no right to control, the defence of the Third Party Claim.

 

(d)Upon assumption of control of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party:

 

(i)the Indemnifying Party shall actively and diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim, retaining counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; and

 

(ii)the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully advised with respect to the status of the Third Party Claim (including supplying copies of all relevant documents promptly as they become available), shall arrange for its counsel to inform the Indemnified Party on a regular basis of the status of the Third Party Claim and, in the case of a Third Party Claim that is in respect of Taxes of the Company or a Company Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Tax Proceeding”), shall consult with the Purchaser in good faith with respect to the status and conduct of the Tax Proceeding.

 

(e)The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim unless consented to by the Indemnified Party (which consent may not be unreasonably or arbitrarily withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

 

(i)no admission of fault may be made by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Purchaser; and

 

(ii)no admission of fault may be made by or on behalf of a Shareholder without the prior written consent of the Shareholders’ Representative.

 

(f)If:

 

(i)the Indemnifying Party fails to give the Indemnified Party the notice required in Section 6.8(b) or any of the other conditions in Section 6.8(b) are not satisfied; or

 

(ii)the Indemnifying Party breaches any of its other obligations under this Section 6.8,

 

the Indemnified Party may, upon notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume control of the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim and retain counsel as, in its opinion, may appear advisable, the whole at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, provided that in the case of a Tax Proceeding, the Purchaser may, or may cause the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party to, settle, compromise, or otherwise dispose of the Tax Proceeding without consent of the Shareholders’ Representative or the Shareholders and without any obligation to mitigate any Damages that may be suffered or incurred.

 

47

 

 

(g)The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defence of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defence of such Third Party Claim; provided however, that nothing in this Section 6.8 or otherwise requires any party to furnish any materials prepared by such party’s financial, accounting or legal representatives if, in the reasonable judgment of such party and after consultation with outside counsel, such access would jeopardize any solicitor-client privilege.

 

(h)With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to this Article 6, the parties shall cooperate in a manner to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and solicitor-client privilege. In connection therewith, each party agrees that:

 

(i)it shall use its reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defence, to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure); and
   
 (ii)all communications between any party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defence of any Third Party Claim will, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any solicitor-client privilege.

 

(i)If a Purchaser Indemnified Party is required to make a payment of Taxes assessed under a Tax Proceeding prior to such Tax Proceeding becoming a Settled Claim, the Purchaser may cause the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party to pay the amount of the Taxes assessed under such Tax Proceeding to the appropriate Governmental Authority and such amount paid or required to be paid may be funded or recovered, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.10 as if the amount paid or required to be paid were the Claim Amount of a Settled Claim upon providing evidence satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, acting reasonably, of the payment or requirement to pay.

 

(j)If the total of the amounts previously funded or recovered pursuant to Section 6.8(i) and Section 6.10 in respect of a Tax Proceeding is less than the amount so determined to be the amount of the Taxes upon such Tax Proceeding becoming a Settled Claim, the Claim Amount shall, for the purposes of applying Section 6.10, be deemed to be the amount otherwise determined in respect of the Settled Claim less the amount previously funded or recovered pursuant to Section 6.8(i) and Section 6.10 in respect of the applicable Tax Proceeding. If the total of the amounts previously funded or recovered pursuant to Section 6.8(i) and Section 6.10 in respect of a Tax Proceeding is more than the amount so determined to be the amount of the Taxes upon such Tax Proceeding becoming a Settled Claim, the Purchaser shall, upon receipt by the Purchaser Indemnified Party of any refund or credit of such Taxes, promptly (and, in any event, within 30 days of the receipt of such refund or credit) pay to the Shareholders’ Representative the amount of such refund or credit (including any interest received by the Purchaser Indemnified Party after taking into account any Taxes payable by any Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of such refund, credit or interest).

 

(k)In determining the amount of Taxes subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement,

 

48

 

 

(i)if a deduction, Tax credit, loss carry-forward or other Tax attribute of the Purchaser, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates (other than, in the case of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, any such deduction, Tax credit, loss carry-forward or other Tax attribute which arises prior to the Effective Time), is utilized to reduce the amount of income, taxable income or Tax otherwise calculated in respect of a Tax assessment for any taxation year in which a Tax is realized or, but for the utilization of such deduction, Tax credit, loss carry- forward or other Tax attribute, would be realized, the amount of the Taxes will be determined without taking into account any benefit from such deduction, Tax credit, loss carry-forward or other Tax attribute; and

 

(ii)if a deduction, Tax credit, loss carry-forward or other Tax attribute of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that arose prior to the Effective Time and was available, at the time a Tax assessment is issued for any taxation year in which a Tax is realized, to reduce the amount of income, taxable income or Tax otherwise calculated in respect of such Tax assessment and was not so utilized, the amount of Taxes subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement will be determined as though such Tax credit, loss carry-forward or other Tax attribute of the Company or any Company Subsidiary were utilized to reduce the amount of income, taxable income or Tax otherwise calculated.

 

6.9Characterization of Indemnity Payments
  
 Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article 6 will be considered, to the extent permissible under Law, as adjustments to the Consideration for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

6.10Payments

 

(a)If a Settled Claim provides that an amount is due and payable to a Purchaser Indemnified Party (the “Claim Amount”), then:

 

(i)if any funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall, within 10 Business Days of the claim for indemnification becoming a Settled Claim, submit a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement requiring the Escrow Agent to release to the Purchaser the Claim Amount (or any lesser amount remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Fund); and

 

(ii)subject to Section 6.5(b)(ii), the Indemnifying Party will promptly pay the balance of the Claim Amount to the Purchaser Indemnified Party.

 

(b)On the date that is 18 months after the Effective Date (the “Escrow Release Date”), the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall provide a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release any remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund to the Depositary for distribution to the Shareholders (including the Purchaser, as applicable) in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement; provided that if prior to the Escrow Release Date, the Purchaser notifies the Shareholders’ Representative in writing that all or a portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund is subject to claims made in good faith under this Article 6 that have not been finally determined (the “Outstanding Claims”), the amount released by the Escrow Agent from the Indemnity Escrow Fund on the Escrow Release Date will be equal to the amount of the Indemnity Escrow Fund less the sum of any amounts subject to the Outstanding Claims.

 

49

 

 

(c)All or any part of an Outstanding Claim will cease to form part of the Outstanding Claims and will be released to the Depositary for distribution to the Shareholders (including the Purchaser, as applicable) in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement or to the Purchaser (as the case may be) upon the earliest to occur of:

 

(i)the Outstanding Claim becoming a Settled Claim;

 

(ii)the date that is 180 days from the Escrow Release Date if a Proceeding is not actually commenced by the Purchaser in respect of the Outstanding Claim during such period; and

 

(iii)it being agreed between the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative that any of the Outstanding Claim should be reduced.

 

(d)Within 10 Business Days of a part of the Outstanding Claims ceasing to form part of the Outstanding Claims pursuant to Section 6.10(c), the Purchaser and the Shareholders’ Representative shall submit a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement requiring the Escrow Agent to release to the Purchaser or to the Depositary for distribution to the Shareholders (including the Purchaser, as applicable) in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, as applicable, the amount owing to such party.

 

(e)The Purchaser shall be entitled, in connection with the matters contemplated in this Article 6, to deal exclusively with the Shareholders’ Representative on behalf of the Shareholders (or any of them), including by paying to the Shareholders’ Representative any amounts that become due to any Shareholder under this Article 6.

 

(f)If a Party fails to submit a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent in strict compliance with the time periods contemplated under this Section 6.10, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, to equitable remedies as contemplated in Section 8.4. No delay in providing such joint instruction to the Escrow Agent will be deemed to deny a Party its entitlement to its applicable portion of the Indemnity Escrow Fund.

(a)In order to administer efficiently certain matters under this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, the Shareholders’ Representative, by virtue of the approval of the Arrangement Resolution and the Arrangement becoming effective, is irrevocably constituted and appointed the exclusive and lawful agent, proxy and attorney in fact for the Shareholders (other than the Shareholders who exercise Dissent Rights) with respect to all matters under this Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement, the Escrow Agreement and the Depositary Agreement, including to act for and on behalf of the Shareholders in connection with all post-closing adjustments contemplated in Section 2.11, all indemnification matters under Article 6, and any other matters specified under this Agreement. The Shareholders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment.

8.3Entire Agreement

 

This Agreement, together with the Company Disclosure Letter and Confidentiality Agreement (and, as between the Purchaser and Grenadier, the relevant Voting Agreement), constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, collateral, statutory or otherwise, between the Parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except as specifically set out in this Agreement and the Voting Agreement between the Purchaser and Grenadier, and the Parties have not relied and are not relying on any other information, discussion or understanding in entering into and completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

8.4Equitable Remedies

 

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement, without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at Law or in equity.

 

8.5Amendments

 

This Agreement may only be amended by written agreement of the Parties, which may be done without further notice to or authorization on the part of the Shareholders.

 

8.6Waiver

 

The failure or delay by a Party in enforcing, or insisting upon strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such provision or in any way affect the enforceability of this Agreement (or any of its provisions) or deprive a Party of the right, at any time or from time to time, to enforce or insist upon strict performance of that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement (whether or not similar).

 

54

 

 

8.7Severability

 

If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable:

 

(a)that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired by that severance; and

 

(b)the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible and in such a manner that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible and each Party retains its economic entitlements.

 

8.8Assignments

 

(a)This Agreement will become effective when executed by the Parties and thereafter will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, duties or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any attempt to assign any of the rights, duties or obligations in this Agreement without such written consent is void.

 

8.9Third Party Beneficiaries

 

Except pursuant to Section 4.9(b) and Article 6, the Parties intend that this Agreement will not benefit or create any right or cause of action in favour of any Person, other than the Parties, and that no Person, other than the Parties, shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any action, suit, Proceeding, hearing or other forum.

 

8.10Time of the Essence

 

Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

 

8.11Expenses and Payments

Each Party will, at the request of another Party, execute and deliver such further documents and instruments and perform or cause to be performed such other acts and things as may be reasonably required to give effect to, and carry out the intent of, this Agreement and, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to document or evidence the transactions or events set out in the Plan of Arrangement.
