This Amendment No. 20 to Schedule 13D amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) filed by Frank Stronach (“Mr. Stronach”), on September 8, 2003, as previously amended, with respect to the Class B Voting Shares (“Class B Shares”) of MI Developments Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (the “Company”). This Amendment No. 20 is being filed to report the execution and delivery of certain agreements related to the proposed reorganization of the Company previously reported in Amendment No. 18 to the Statement (the “Reorganization”).

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Class B Shares. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 455 Magna Drive, Aurora, Ontario, Canada, L4G 7K1 7A9.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Statement is being filed by Mr. Stronach, the Stronach Trust, 445327 Ontario Limited (“445” and, together with Mr. Stronach and the Stronach Trust, the “Reporting Persons”). The information set forth on Schedule A is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The information set forth in Item 4 herein is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is amended by adding the following:

In furtherance of the proposed Reorganization, on January 31, 2011, 445 and the Stronach Trust entered into an Arrangement Agreement with the Company (the “Arrangement Agreement”) in which (i) the parties agreed to (a) proceed with an arrangement under the provisions of Section 182 of the Ontario Business Corporation Act (the “Arrangement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions of the plan of arrangement attached to the Arrangement Agreement (the “Plan of Arrangement”), (b) complete certain reorganization steps prior to the effective date of the Arrangement (the “Effective Date”), including, among other things, the sale by MI Developments (America) Inc. to a corporation owned for the benefit of the Stronach family of the property in Frenchman’s Creek, Florida referred to as Rhone Circle, the transfer by 1239953 Ontario Inc. to 2272804 Ontario Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of 445 Newco (as defined below) (“445 Subco”), of certain properties in Milton, Ontario (the “Milton Properties”) in exchange for the assumption of related liabilities and a non-interest bearing promissory note from 445 Subco in the principal amount of the fair market value of the Milton Properties (less the fair market value of the liabilities assumed) (the “445 Subco Note 1”), the transfer by 445 to 2272769 Ontario Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of 445 (“445 Newco”), of all of the Class B Shares beneficially owned by 445 (the “Purchased Shares”), the transfer by the Company to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“New Canco”) of the equity interests of companies holding certain real property assets and the transfer by the Company to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“New Canco Racing Sub”) of the equity of MI Developments US Holdings Inc. (“Raceco”) and (c) cooperate with each other in connection with certain aspects of the proposed Reorganization; (ii) the Company agreed to take certain steps in order to implement the Arrangement and other aspects of the Reorganization, including, among other things, (a) applying for and obtaining all required consents and approvals (including an interim order of the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario) which would provide that the requisite shareholder approval for the Arrangement would be (I) 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the holders of Class B Shares and Class A Shares, voting together as one class, (II) 66 2/3% of the votes cast by holders of Class B Shares, voting separately as a class, (III) a majority of the votes cast by minority Class A shareholders, and (IV) a majority of the votes cast by minority Class B shareholders), (b) preparing the management information circular/proxy statement to be distributed to shareholders of the Company in connection with the special meeting of the shareholders to be held for the purpose of considering the Arrangement (the “Meeting”), (c) convening and holding the Meeting and (d) using commercially reasonable efforts to solicit proxies with respect to the Meeting; and (iii) 445 agreed to vote or cause its shares to be voted at the Meeting in favor of the Arrangement and agreed to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered a proxy in connection therewith.

Prior to the termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Effective Date (the “Interim Period”), the Transferred Assets (as defined below) are required to be operated separate from the real estate business of the Company, and the Company is required to (i) contribute to or withdraw from the Transferred Assets cash such that the Transferred Assets would include on January 1, 2011 $20 million of adjusted working capital and (ii) contribute to the business of the Transferred Assets an amount equal to (a) $3.8 million per month for the period from February 1, 2011 to the Effective Date plus (b) $2.5 million for January 2011. In addition, during the Interim Period the Company is not permitted to purchase any gaming or horseracing assets which are unrelated to the Transferred Assets or take certain action with respect to Raceco or its subsidiaries outside the ordinary course of business.

The principal closing conditions under the Arrangement Agreement include receipt of required shareholder approvals, receipt of court approvals, there being no material adverse change in the affairs of the Company and implementation of the Reorganization by June 30, 2011. The Company is required to reimburse 445 and the Stronach Trust for up to $1 million of legal and advisory fees incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement.

The Plan of Arrangement incorporated into the Arrangement Agreement contemplates that commencing on the Effective Date the following


SCHEDULE 13D/A

 

CUSIP No. 55304X 20 3    Page 6 of 10 Pages

 

events would occur in the following order: (i) a dividend would become payable to each common share of the Company, (ii) the Company would purchase each Class B Share (other than the Purchased Shares and shares held by dissenting shareholders) for consideration consisting of 1.2 Class A Shares, and the Class B Shares so purchased would be cancelled, (iii) the Class B Shares held by dissenting shareholders would be deemed to have been transferred to the Company and would be cancelled, and the dissenting shareholders would cease to be holders of any Class B Shares or have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to be paid fair value for such shares, (iv) the authorized number of Class B Shares would be increased to 181,707,000, the rights and conditions of the Class B Shares would be changed such that each Class B Share’s participation in dividends and on liquidation would be 1/500th of that of a Class A Share and the voting rights of the Class B Shares would be changed from 500 votes per share to one vote per share, (v) the issued and outstanding Class B Shares (being the Purchased Shares) would be subdivided on a 500-for-1 basis into 181,707,000 Class B Shares (the “New Purchased Shares”), (vi) the Transfer Agreement (as defined below) would become effective and the Company would transfer the Transferred Assets to 445 Subco in consideration for Class A Preference Shares of 445 Subco (the “445 Subco Preference Shares”) and the assumption of certain liabilities, (vii) 445 Subco would redeem the 445 Subco Preference Shares from the Company in exchange for a non-interest bearing promissory note in the principal amount of the redemption price for the 445 Subco Preference Shares (“445 Subco Note 2” and, together with Subco Note 1, the “Subco Notes”)), (viii) the Company would purchase for cancellation the New Purchased Shares in exchange for a non-interest bearing demand promissory note with a principal amount equal to the fair market value of the New Purchased Shares (the “Company Note”) and the New Purchased Shares would be cancelled, (ix) the winding up of 445 Subco would be commenced and the Transferred Assets and 445 Subco’s rights and liabilities under the 445 Subco Notes and the Transfer Agreement would be transferred to and assumed by 445 Newco, (x) the Company Note and the 445 Subco Notes would be set off against each other in full satisfaction of the respective obligations under such notes and they will be deemed cancelled, (xi) the Company and its incumbent and former directors and officers would be released from any and all claims which the Company or its shareholders, as applicable ever had up to the Effective Date and (xii) the Articles of the Company would be amended such that following such amendment the Company would only have one class of common shares outstanding.

The Arrangement Agreement contemplates that on the Effective Date the Company would enter into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) which would prohibit the Company and its affiliates thereafter from (i) entering the horseracing or gaming business; (ii) making any debt or equity investment in, or otherwise give financial assistance to, any entity primarily engaged in the horseracing or gaming business (a “Racing Entity”); or (iii) entering into any transactions with, or provide any services or personnel to, a Racing Entity. The Company would, however, be permitted to provide transitional services to the business of the Transferred Assets for a commercially reasonable transition period.

The Arrangement Agreement contemplates that on the Effective Date the Company would enter into the Transfer Agreement with 445 Newco, 445 Subco, 445 and the Stronach Trust (the “Transfer Agreement”) under which 445 Subco would (i) acquire the following (the “Transferred Assets”) (a) all of the outstanding shares of New Canco, the subsidiaries of which own certain real estate development property assets and certain Ontario real estate development assets owned directly by the Company (the “Purchased Ontario Real Properties”), all of which real estate development properties constitute substantially all of the properties owned by the Company as described under “Real Estate Business - Development Properties” in note 6(a) of the notes to the amended and restated interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period ended September 30, 2010, (b) all of the outstanding shares of New Canco Racing Sub, the subsidiaries of which own the Company’s horseracing and gaming business, including: Santa Anita Park; Golden Gate Fields; the Company’s joint venture interests in Maryland Jockey Club’s real estate and racing assets (Pimlico Race Course, Laurel Park and the Bowie training facility); Gulfstream Park and MID’s joint venture interest in the associated retail development; Portland Meadows; horseracing technology assets including Xpressbet® and AmTote; and (c) any amounts owing to the Company or its subsidiaries (excluding Raceco or its subsidiaries) by Raceco or its subsidiaries, including the receivables owing to the Company by MI Developments US Financing Inc. and MI Developments Investments Inc. in the aggregate amount of approximately $38,000,000, (ii) assume the obligations relating to the Purchased Ontario Real Properties excluding any liabilities of the Company for income taxes in respect of the disposition of the Purchased Ontario Real Properties pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, and certain liabilities of the Company to pay costs, expenses and fees under the Arrangement Agreement; and (iii) have a right of first refusal with respect to certain of the Company’s property in Aurora, Ontario on Magna Drive and in Oberwaltersdorf, Austria.

In connection with the Arrangement Agreement, effective upon closing, the applicable Initiating Shareholders will dismiss without costs the litigation against the Company and certain related parties filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the Initiating Shareholders, 445 and the Company will provide mutual releases, including to the directors and officers of the Company.

Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Further, and without limiting the foregoing, the Board may delay the holding of or adjourn the Meeting in order to communicate to Shareholders any decision to change the recommendation or to seek an amendment to the terms of this Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement and/or any of the forms of agreement contemplated hereby provided that MID shall have notified 445 regarding its intention to do so prior to announcing any delay or adjournment of the Meeting.

3.1 Representations and Warranties of MID

MID represents and warrants to and in favour of each of 445 and the Trust as follows and acknowledges that each of 445 and the Trust is relying on such representations and warranties in entering into this Agreement:

(a) Existence. MID is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario and has all necessary corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Corporate Authority and Enforceability. Subject to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Shareholders as required by the Interim Order, MID has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by MID and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of MID, enforceable against MID by 445 and the Trust in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and except that equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) No Violation. Except as disclosed in the disclosure letter dated the date hereof delivered by MID to 445 and the Trust, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not, and will not, result in a breach or violation of any of the provisions of or constitute a default under, or conflict with or cause the acceleration of any obligation of any member of the MID Group under (i) any material contract to which a member of the MID Group is a party, (ii) any provision of the articles, by-laws or resolutions of the board of directors (or any committee thereof) or shareholders or similar organizational document of any member of the MID Group, (iii) any judgment, decree, order or award of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over any member of the MID Group or (iv) any Applicable Law, except with respect to clauses (i), (iii) and (iv) above, for any such breaches, violations, defaults, conflicts or other occurrences that do not constitute a Material Adverse Change.

 

- 14 -


(d) No Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required to be obtained or made, as the case may be, by any member of the MID Group in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by MID of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than (i) filing the Articles of Arrangement with the Director, (ii) as may be required to comply with the applicable rules and regulations of the TSX and NYSE and any applicable requirements of Canadian and U.S. securities laws, (iii) obtaining the Court Orders and (iv) as may be required in connection with racing, gaming or liquor licenses of the Racing and Gaming Business and in connection with severing real property for conveyancing purposes.

(e) Share Capital. The authorized share capital of MID consists of an unlimited number of Class A Shares, 706,170 Class B Shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, of which 46,160,564 Class A Shares, 547,413 Class B Shares and no preferred shares are issued and outstanding as of January 28, 2011. As of January 28, 2011, there are issued and outstanding options to purchase 835,000 Class A Shares (each, an “Outstanding Option”) and there are no other options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments (pre-emptive, contractual or otherwise) obligating MID to issue or sell any shares of MID or securities or obligations of any kind convertible into or exchangeable for any shares or other securities of MID. There are no bonds, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness of MID outstanding having the right to vote (or that are convertible for or exercisable into securities having the right to vote) with shareholders of MID on any matter. MID has the ability to pay the principal amount of its unsecured debentures on their maturity date or redemption date, as the case may be, by the delivery of Class A Shares.

(f) Public Disclosure. MID has filed with all applicable Governmental Entities true and complete copies of all documents that MID is required by applicable Securities Laws to file therewith. Such documents, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each such document at the time filed complied in all material respects with the requirements of applicable Securities Laws.

(g) Tax Matters. Prior to the Effective Time and in contemplation of and before the transfer of the Transferred Assets to 445 Subco pursuant to the Transfer Agreement and as one of the steps of the Plan of Arrangement, no property has or will become property of MID, any corporation controlled by MID, or a predecessor of any such corporation or any other entity (including any corporation, partnership or other entity) in which MID holds directly or indirectly any interest and over which it has significant influence as determined in accordance with Canadian generally-accepted accounting principles (collectively referred to as the “MID Entities”) and no liability has or will be incurred or discharged by any of the MID Entities in each case otherwise than as provided for in the Transfer Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement or the Pre-Arrangement Reorganization, in the ordinary course of business or on a basis which would not cause paragraph 55(3.1)(a) of the ITA to apply to deny the exception in paragraph 55(3)(b) of the ITA to the dividend deemed under the ITA to be received by 445 Newco and paid by MID as a result of the completion of the transactions provided in the Plan of Arrangement. For greater certainty, it is agreed that MID shall not be considered to have breached this Section 3.1(g) in respect of an action taken by an MID Entity at a time at which (i) MID did not control such MID Entity and (ii) MID had no knowledge of such action or had made reasonable commercial efforts to prevent such action.

MID shall provide access to 445 to all work papers of MID, accounting books and records and the appropriate personnel to verify the accuracy, presentation and other matters relating to the preparation of the Draft Funding Statement. If 445 Subco sends a written notice of objection of the Draft Funding Statement in accordance with this Section, the Parties shall work expeditiously and in good faith to resolve such objections prior to the Effective Date following receipt of such notice. Failing resolution of any objection to the Draft Funding Statement raised by 445, the dispute will be submitted for determination to Ernst & Young LLP (or if Ernst & Young LLP is not willing or able to act, Deloitte & Touche LLP).

The determination of the Adjusted Working Capital by such firm of chartered accountants will be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties shall revise the Adjusted Working Capital to reflect the final resolution or final determination of such objections. If 445 does not notify MID of any objection within the 14-day period, 445 is deemed to have accepted and approved the Draft Working Capital Statement and the Adjusted Working Capital calculated therein.

(g) Prior to the Effective Date, MID agrees to provide 445 and its representatives with reasonable access to all books, records, information and files in respect of the Transferred Assets in MID’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ possession and control, reasonable access to MID’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ personnel (including senior management) as well as reasonable access to the properties of the Transferred Assets in order to allow 445 and its representatives to conduct such investigations as they may consider reasonably necessary or advisable for transitional and transaction implementation purposes.

MID agrees that it shall honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of present and former officers and directors of MID and its Subsidiaries, and acknowledges and agrees that such rights shall survive the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of present and former officers and directors of MID and its Subsidiaries for a period of six years from the Effective Date. The provisions of this Section 4.1(h) 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, MID hereby confirms that it is acting as agent and trustee on their behalf.

(i) MID shall use its best efforts to discharge by the Effective Date any Liens on the Transferred Assets, the Subject Companies and their respective assets and properties to the extent that such Liens secure indebtedness or obligations of MID or its Subsidiaries (immediately after the closing of the Arrangement) that are not related to the Transferred Assets or their business, and to the extent that such Liens are not discharged by the Effective Date, MID shall continue to use such best efforts to discharge all such Liens.

 

4.2 Covenants of 445 and the Trust

(a) 445 agrees to vote or cause the Purchased Shares to be voted at the Meeting in favour of the Arrangement Resolution and agrees to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered a proxy in connection therewith as soon as reasonably practicable after the mailing of the Circular. 445 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares who are or become party to the Support Agreement to vote their Class A Shares and Class B Shares, as applicable, at the Meeting in favour of the Arrangement Resolution in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Support Agreement.

(b) Each of 445 and the Trust shall not do or permit to be done and shall refrain from doing any action that, if effected before the date of this Agreement, would constitute a material breach of any representation and warranty or a material breach of any covenant of this Agreement.

Raceco or their Subsidiaries) that MID provides 445 and the Trust with notice of, and 445 and the Trust shall take any other actions required to permit MID and its applicable Subsidiaries (other than the Development Property Companies, Raceco or their Subsidiaries) to terminate and/or withdraw such performance bonds, letters of credit and/or security deposits on the Effective Date.

Effective Date, against any of the Releasees including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any allegations that any current or former director, current or former officer breached any duties, whether contractual, statutory or otherwise, owed to any party by virtue of being a director or officer of MID at any time whatsoever up to and including the Effective Date.

Registered holders of Class B Shares (other than 445 Newco) may exercise dissent rights (“Dissent Rights”) in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to and in the manner set forth in section 185 of the OBCA as modified by the Interim Order and this Section 4.1; provided that, notwithstanding subsection 185(6) of the OBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in subsection 185(6) of the OBCA must be received by MID not later than 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time). Dissenting Shareholders who duly exercise their Dissent Rights shall be deemed to have transferred the Class B Shares held by them and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised to MID free and clear of all Liens, as provided in Section 3.1(c), and if they:

 

  (a) ultimately are entitled to be paid fair value for such Class B Shares, will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Class B Shares, and will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any Class A Shares that would be issuable under the Arrangement had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Class B Shares; or

 

  (b) ultimately are not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for such Class B Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of Class B Shares (other than 445 Newco).

 

4.2 Recognition of Dissenting Shareholders

(a) In no circumstances shall MID or any other person be required to recognize a person exercising Dissent Rights unless such person is the holder of those Class B Shares in respect of which such rights are sought to be exercised.


(b) For greater certainty, in no case shall MID or any other person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of Class B Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised after the completion of Section 3.1(c), and the Class B Shares of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be cancelled and shall not be restored to the authorized capital of MID in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised at the Effective Time. In addition to any other restrictions under section 185 of the OBCA, holders of Class B Shares who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote such Class B Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution shall not be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights in respect of such Class B Shares.

ARTICLE 5

CERTIFICATES

 

5.1 Class A Shares

On and after the Effective Time, certificates formerly representing Class A Shares shall represent and be deemed to represent Common Shares.

 

5.2 Class B Shares

(a) On and after the Effective Time until the close of business on the n Business Day following the Effective Date, certificates formerly representing Class B Shares (other than the New Purchased Shares and Class B Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised) shall represent and be deemed to represent only the right to receive Common Shares in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement. Following the close of business on the n Business Day following the Effective Date, such certificates shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature, including a claim for dividends or other distributions, against MID.

No fractional Class A Shares will be issued pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement, and any fractional number of Class A Shares otherwise issuable will be rounded down (in the case of fractional numbers below 0.5) or up (in the case of fractional numbers of 0.5 or more), as applicable, to the nearest whole number.

AMENDMENTS

 

6.1 Amendments to Plan of Arrangement

  (a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of any Stronach Party contained in this Agreement or in any document, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant hereto;

 

  (b) any breach or non-performance by any Stronach Party of any covenant or obligation to be performed by any Stronach Party which is contained in this Agreement or in any document, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant hereto;

 

  (c) any failure by 445 Subco to pay, satisfy, discharge, perform or fulfil any of the Assumed Liabilities; and

 

  (d) the Transferred Assets, the operations of the Transferred Assets, including the Racing and Gaming Business and the Development Properties, whether in respect of the period prior to, or on and after, the Effective Date, including the actions, investigations or proceedings listed in the disclosure letter dated the date hereof delivered by MID to 445 and the Trust.

provided, however, that the Stronach Parties shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless the indemnified persons pursuant to paragraph (a) above unless MID shall have provided notice to the Stronach Parties in accordance with Section 6.3 on or prior to the expiration of the applicable time period related to such representation and warranty as set out in Section 3.3.

 

6.2 Indemnification by MID

MID hereby agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Stronach Parties, their Subsidiaries and the officers, directors and employees of the Stronach Parties and their Subsidiaries from and against all Losses suffered or incurred by such persons as a result of or arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with:

 

  (a) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of MID contained in this Agreement or in any document, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant hereto, excluding any breach or inaccuracy that 445 or the Trust had knowledge of on the date hereof;

- 16 -


  (c) the Real Estate Business and the operations of the Real Estate Business, whether in respect of the period prior to, or on and after, the Effective Date;

provided, however, that MID shall not be required to indemnify or save harmless the indemnified persons pursuant to paragraph (a) above unless a Stronach Party shall have provided notice to MID in accordance with Section 6.3 on or prior to the expiration of the applicable time period related to such representation and warranty as set out in Section 3.3.

 

6.3 Notice of Claim

In the event that a party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall become aware of any proceeding or other matter (collectively, a “Claim”) in respect of which the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice shall specify whether the Claim arises as a result of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the Claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available) the factual basis for the Claim and the amount of the Claim, if known. If, through the fault of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party does not receive notice of any Claim in time to contest effectively the determination of any liability susceptible of being contested, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to set off against the amount claimed by the Indemnified Party the amount of any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party resulting from the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice on a timely basis.

 

6.4 Direct Claims

With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 60 days to make such investigation of the Claim as is considered necessary or desirable. For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the Claim, together with all such other information in the possession of the Indemnified Party, as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. If both parties agree at or prior to the expiration of such 60-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the Claim, failing which the matter shall be referred to binding arbitration in such manner as the parties may agree or shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

6.5 Third Party Claims

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim and if the Indemnifying Party assumes control, it shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of the Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket expenses prior to the time the Indemnifying Party assumed control. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences).

 

- 17 -


(b) If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim.

(c) If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by Applicable Laws to incur losses or make a payment to any person (a “Third Party”) with respect to the Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may incur such Losses or make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for such payment. If the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under such Third Party Claim, as finally determined, is less than the amount that was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after the receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference, together with any interest thereon paid by the Third Party to the Indemnified Party, to the Indemnifying Party. In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall post all security required by any court, regulatory body or other authority having jurisdiction, including without limitation, for purposes of enabling the Indemnifying Party to contest any Third Party Claim.

(d) If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defence of any Third Party Claim or defaults in respect of any of its obligations under this Section 6.5 with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest the amount claimed and may settle and pay the same on 14 days’ prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall, thereupon, be deemed to have agreed that such settlement is reasonable and may be agreed to by the Indemnified Party and all other persons liable in respect of the Third Party Claim unless within such 14-day period the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it is assuming or reassuming control of such defence and thereafter assumes or reassumes such control and does not default.

(e) The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).

 

6.6 Exclusivity

The provisions of this Article 6 shall apply to any Claim for breach of any covenant, representation, warranty or other provision of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or other document delivered pursuant hereto (other than a claim for specific performance or injunctive relief) with the intent that all such Claims shall be subject to the limitations and other provisions contained in this Article 6.

ARTICLE 7

RIGHT OF REFUSAL

 

7.1 Right of Refusal

If, and so often as, MID shall receive an offer from a bona fide arm’s length third party (the “Third Party Purchaser”) to purchase, directly or indirectly, all or any part of (i) the properties owned, directly or indirectly, by MID and leased to Magna International Inc. or its Subsidiary (collectively, “Magna”) in Oberwaltersdorf Austria with the municipal address of Magna Strasse 1, or leased in the case of the property located in Aurora, Ontario with the municipal address of 337 and 375 Magna Drive, or (ii) the property owned by MID with the municipal address of 455 Magna Drive, Aurora Ontario, as applicable (each a “ROFR Property”), that MID is willing to accept (the “Offer”), and subject to Magna’s existing right of first refusal in respect of each ROFR Property listed in Section 7.1(i) above, (the “Magna ROFR”), then:

 

  (a) Prior to accepting the Offer and following the expiry of the Magna ROFR, if applicable, MID shall send a true and complete copy of the Offer to 445 Subco, who shall have 14 days from the receipt of the Offer, in 445 Subco’s sole and absolute discretion, to notify MID in writing that 445 Subco desires to purchase the ROFR Property specified in the Offer (the “Acceptance”), at the purchase price and on the same terms and conditions as set out in the Offer.

 

  (b) In the event that 445 Subco sends an Acceptance in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1(a), then 445 Subco shall be obligated to purchase and MID shall be obligated to sell the Property as specified in the Offer, at the purchase price and upon the terms and conditions set out in the Offer.

 

  (c) In the event that 445 does not send an Acceptance within the 14-day period set out in Section 7.1(a), then MID shall be at liberty to accept the Offer as is or return it to the Third Party Purchaser with any non-material amendments or variations as MID in its sole and absolute discretion desires, including without limitation, a higher (but not lower) purchase price with no financial inducements other than as set out in the Offer. Provided however that any such sale to the Third Party Purchaser shall be closed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer within six months after the expiry of: (i) the 14-day period set out in the Magna ROFR for each ROFR Property under Section 7.1(i) above, and (ii) the 14-day period set out in Section 7.1(a) for the ROFR Property located at 455 Magna Drive, Aurora Ontario, failing which 445 Subco’s right of refusal shall be automatically revived and 445 Subco shall be entitled to exercise its right of refusal provided for under this Section 7.1.

 

  (d) Upon closing of the transaction of a purchase and sale with the Third Party Purchaser within the time period set out in Section 7.1(c), 445 Subco’s right of refusal shall be extinguished and shall not continue with respect to any subsequent sales by the Third Party Purchaser of the applicable ROFR Property.

 

- 19 -


  (e) The right of refusal provided for in this Section 7.1 is hereby subordinated by 445 Subco to the Magna ROFR, if applicable, and any mortgage, charge, mortgage bond, debenture, deed of trust or other security interest against the ROFR Property, whenever created, subject to the holder of any such security interest being subject to the right of refusal provided for in this section, and 445 Subco agrees to execute such documents and provide such further assurances as MID may from time to time reasonably request to evidence such subordination.

 

7.2 Exceptions to Rights of Refusal

Notwithstanding Section 7.1, MID shall be at liberty at any time to (a) convey all or any part of the ROFR Property or an easement thereon to a municipality or other governmental authority having jurisdiction for dedication as public roadway(s) and/or to convey lands and related works to a conservation authority or other governmental authority having jurisdiction for such purposes, or (b) transfer or convey registered or beneficial title to the ROFR Property or any part or parts thereof to any Subsidiary or Affiliate of MID, without, in each case, complying with the provisions of Section 7.1, provided that such Subsidiary or Affiliate first agrees in writing with 445 Subco to be bound by the right of refusal in favour of 445 Subco provided for herein. For greater certainty, Section 7.1 shall not apply to any transaction, whether by way of take-over bid, merger, consolidation, reconstruction, reorganization, arrangement, amalgamation, transfer, sale or otherwise providing for the acquisition of securities of MID.

ARTICLE 8

(b) Any such notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been given and received on the day on which it was personally delivered or transmitted (or, if such day is not a Business Day or if delivery or transmission is made on a Business Day after 5:00 p.m. at the place of receipt, then on the next following Business Day) or, if mailed, on the third Business Day following the date of mailing; provided, however, that if at the time of mailing or within three Business Days thereafter there is or occurs a labour dispute or other event which might reasonably be expected to disrupt the delivery of documents by mail, any notice or other communication hereunder shall be delivered or transmitted by means of recorded electronic communication as aforesaid.

Either party may at any time change its address for service from time to time by giving notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 8.3.

 

8.4 Severability

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify the Agreement to preserve each Party’s anticipated benefits under this Agreement.

 

8.5 Entire Agreement

This Agreement (together with all other documents and instruments referred to herein) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the Arrangement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether written or oral.

8.8 Specific Performance

The Parties acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement and any such breach would cause the non-breaching Party irreparable harm. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the Parties, the non-breaching Party will be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance.

8.9 Contra Proferentum

8.10 Further Assurances

The parties agree that the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and by this Agreement are intended to effect (a) the transfer by MID to 445 Subco of the entirety of the Racing and Gaming Business and all of the Development Properties and the Milton Properties (which are intended to be the properties that are described under “Real Estate Business – Development Properties” in note 6(a) to MID’s interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 as having a book value of $174.462 million as at September 30, 2010, except the properties set out in Schedule D), (b) the retention by MID of the Real Estate Business and (c) a net transfer by MID of cash to, or a net withdrawal by MID of cash from, the Transferred Assets in an amount that is neither greater nor less than the amount of such transfer or withdrawal, as the case may be, that is required pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement. The Parties shall do all such things and provide all such reasonable assurances as may be required to give effect to the intentions of the parties referred to in the preceding sentence and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and this Agreement, and each Party shall do all such acts and provide such further documents or instruments required by the other Parties as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the purposes and intents of this Agreement and carry out its provisions, whether before or after the Effective Date, including any required transfer of cash, assets or properties.

 

- 23 -


8.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement is not intended to confer on any person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.

 

8.12 Time of Essence

Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

Exhibit C

AGREEMENT REGARDING ARRANGEMENT

Reference is made to (a) the support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) entered into among certain shareholders (each an “Initiating Shareholder”, and collectively the “Initiating Shareholders”) of MI Developments Inc. (“MID”) and 445327 Ontario Limited (“445”) between December 20, 2010 and December 22, 2010 pursuant to which such parties agreed to cause their Class A Shares and Class B Shares to be voted in favour of the Arrangement Resolution, subject to the terms and conditions of such agreement and (b) the arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) dated the date hereof among MID, 445 and the Stronach Trust. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set out in the Arrangement Agreement.

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, each of the Initiating Shareholders, MID, 445 and the Stronach Trust agree as follows:

1. Each Initiating Shareholder (in respect of itself only and based solely on its own review and not on any representations or advice from any other Initiating Shareholder) acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed drafts of the definitive documents for the Arrangement dated January 29, 2011 (the “Draft Documents”) (being the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement in the form attached to the Arrangement Agreement, the Transfer Agreement in the form attached to the Arrangement Agreement and this Agreement) and that it shall not exercise any right of termination pursuant to sections 5(a) or 5(b) of the Support Agreement provided that the executed versions of such definitive documents are substantially in the form of the Draft Documents.

2. On the Effective Date and conditional on the closing of the Arrangement, MID shall reimburse the Initiating Shareholders (which for greater certainty excludes 445, whose fees shall be reimbursed in accordance with section 6.3 of the Arrangement Agreement) for or, as applicable, pay on their behalf: (a) their reasonable legal and advisory fees incurred and to be incurred in connection with the Arrangement (to the extent that such fees have not already been paid by MID pursuant to the letter agreement dated January 28, 2011), excluding, for greater certainty, fees in connection with any enforcement proceedings taken pursuant to section 7, and (b) their reasonable legal and advisory fees paid to Voorheis & Co. LLP (“Voorheis”) and Thornton Grout Finnigan LLP prior to the date of the Support Agreement in connection with their investment in MID up to an aggregate maximum of US$1,000,000 for all Initiating Shareholders for all such fees. The Initiating Shareholders, through Voorheis or a Designated Person (as defined below), shall provide MID with the amount of and payment instructions for the fees to be reimbursed pursuant to this section 2, together with copies of the applicable invoices, at least three Business Days prior to the expected Effective Date (and MID shall provide Voorheis or the Designated Person, as applicable, with at least seven Business Days notice of the expected Effective Date). The payment of the amount of fees to be reimbursed pursuant to this section 2 by MID in accordance with the payment instructions provided by Voorheis or the Designated Person, as applicable, shall satisfy and fully discharge MID’s reimbursement obligations pursuant to this section 2.


3. MID agrees with the Initiating Shareholders (a) that it will comply with its obligations under sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.8, 4.3(a) and 4.3(c) of the Arrangement Agreement, (b) not to extend the Outside Date or the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the parties to the Arrangement Agreement without the prior approval of the Initiating Shareholders, (c) not to amend the Arrangement Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement, the Transfer Agreement or the Releases, or waive compliance with any of the agreements of the parties to the Arrangement Agreement or with any conditions to its own obligations, in each case in a manner that is adverse to the Initiating Shareholders in a material respect, without the prior approval of the Initiating Shareholders, and (d) not to terminate the Arrangement Agreement pursuant to section 6.1(a) of the Arrangement Agreement without the prior approval of the Initiating Shareholders. MID shall permit Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP to review and comment on the Circular, all documents sent with the Circular, all documents filed with the Court in connection with the Interim Order and the Final Order and any amendments thereto, recognizing that whether or not such comments are ultimately included will be determined by MID, acting reasonably.

4. Each of 445 and the Stronach Trust agrees with the Initiating Shareholders that it will comply with its obligations under sections 2.1, 2.8, 4.3(a) and 4.3(c) of the Arrangement Agreement, as applicable, other than as may be consented to by the Initiating Shareholders.

5. The parties acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of section 3 or 4 of this Agreement by MID, 445 or the Stronach Trust, as applicable, and any such breach would cause the Initiating Shareholders irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement by MID, 445 or the Stronach Trust, as applicable, the Initiating Holders will be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to remedies of injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies shall be the exclusive remedies for any breach of sections 3 or 4 of this Agreement or the Arrangement Agreement by MID, 445 or the Stronach Trust, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this section 5 shall not preclude the Initiating Shareholders from bringing any action in the name and on behalf of MID under section 246 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) or any successor provision to enforce the Arrangement Agreement.

6. In taking any actions to provide their consent under section 3 or 4 of this Agreement, the Initiating Shareholders shall act solely through a person designated by Initiating Shareholders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Class A Shares held by the Initiating Shareholders (the “Designated Person”). In respect of any consent of the Initiating Shareholders requested pursuant to section 3 or 4, the Designated Person shall not provide such consent without obtaining the approval or consent of Initiating Shareholders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Class A Shares held by the Initiating Shareholders , and MID, 445 and the Stronach Trust shall be permitted to rely on any consent provided by the Designated Person and shall not be obligated to deal with a multiplicity of Initiating Shareholders. Any consent provided by the Designated Person shall be binding upon all Initiating Shareholders as if made by each of them directly. If a Designated Person does not respond to a request for approval or consent on behalf of the Initiating Shareholders within seven days of the request, the approval or consent of the Initiating Shareholders for the applicable matter shall be deemed to have been given.

 

- 2 -


7. No Initiating Shareholder may seek to enforce section 3 or 4 of this Agreement unless such enforcement has been approved by Initiating Shareholders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Class A Shares held by the Initiating Shareholders.

8. Notwithstanding Section 3(b) of Schedule B to the Support Agreement, 445’s voting of its Class B Shares of MID on the resolution for the election of the persons nominated by the Initiating Shareholders to be directors of MID shall be governed by this Agreement and not by Section 3(b) of Schedule B to the Support Agreement. 445 may vote its Class B Shares of MID on the resolution for the election of the persons nominated by the Initiating Shareholders to become directors of MID at the Effective Time (which shall be a separate resolution from the resolution to approve the Plan of Arrangement) and 445 shall not, directly or indirectly, nominate or vote for the election of any other persons to become directors of MID at the Effective Time.

9. MID represents and warrants to and in favour of each of the Initiating Shareholders as follows and acknowledges that each of the Initiating Shareholders is relying on such representations and warranties in entering into this Agreement:

 

  (a) MID has filed with all applicable Governmental Entities true and complete copies of all documents that MID is required by applicable Securities Laws to file therewith. Such documents, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each such document at the time filed complied in all material respects with the requirements of applicable Securities Laws.

 

  (b) Since September 30, 2010, there have been no amendments to the Magna Leases (excluding any Magna Leases identified in the disclosure letter dated the date hereof) outside of the ordinary course of business that would result in a material adverse change to the income or value of the Real Estate Business. “Magna Leases” means the real property leases between MID or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Magna International Inc. or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

 

  (c) Since December 22, 2010, MID and its Subsidiaries have not entered into any transaction or series of related transactions with 445, the Trust, the directors or officers of MID or of any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates or immediate family members, with a value in excess of $2 million, other than (i) as publicly disclosed prior to the date hereof or as disclosed in the disclosure letter dated the date hereof, (ii) pursuant to the Pre-Arrangement Reorganization or the Arrangement Agreement, (iii) transactions solely between MID and any of its Subsidiaries or solely between Subsidiaries of MID, or (iv) transactions in respect of the Racing and Gaming Business or the Development Properties (for greater certainty, any funding by MID or its Subsidiaries (other than Raceco and its Subsidiaries or the Development Property Companies) of the Racing and Gaming Business or the Development Properties shall be subject to section 4.1 of the Arrangement Agreement).

 

- 3 -


10. MID shall give prompt notice to Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP of the occurrence of any event which would cause any representation or warranty in section 9 of this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at the Effective Time. If any of the representations and warranties in section 9 of this Agreement shall not be true and correct in all material respects at the Effective Time with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were made at and as of such time, or a certificate dated the Effective Date to that effect shall not have been delivered by MID, the Designated Person may elect to require MID, 445 and the Trust to not close the Arrangement and to terminate the Arrangement Agreement. No such election may be made if (a) Initiating Shareholders holding 10% or more of the aggregate Class A Shares held by the Initiating Shareholders had knowledge of the applicable breach or inaccuracy of the representation or warranty on the date hereof, (b) the Initiating Shareholders had previously consented (in the manner contemplated by section 6) to the matter giving rise to such breach or inaccuracy or (c) in the case of a breach or inaccuracy of the representation and warranty in section 9(c) of this Agreement, such breach has been cured by 445 or the Trust. In making the election pursuant to this section 10, the Initiating Shareholders shall act solely through the Designated Person. The Designated Person shall not make such election without first obtaining the written approval of (a) Initiating Shareholders holding in excess of 50% of the Class A Shares held by the Initiating Shareholders and (b) holders of Class A Shares holding more than 33-1/3% of the outstanding Class A Shares immediately prior to making such election, and MID shall be permitted to rely on any election provided by the Designated Person and shall not be obligated to deal with a multiplicity of Initiating Shareholders. Any election made by the Designated Person with such prior written approval shall be binding upon all Initiating Shareholders as if made by each of them directly. The election contemplated by this section shall be the Initiating Shareholders’ sole remedy arising under this Agreement for any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties in section 9 of this Agreement.

11. As soon as reasonably available, MID shall provide to Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP statements disclosing (a) the cash position of MID, (b) indebtedness of MID for borrowed money and (c) the rental revenue from the Real Estate Business, in each case as at and for the year ended December 31, 2010, the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and for each calendar month thereafter until the Effective Date. Such statements shall be reviewed by the auditors of MID prior to delivery to Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP.

12. MID shall provide Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP with a copy of (a) all notices provided or received by it pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, (b) all amendments to the Arrangement Agreement and (c) all waivers provided or received by it pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement.

13. Each Initiating Shareholder covenants in favour of 445 that it will not at any time on or after the date of this Agreement and before 180 days after the Effective Time enter into any agreement or arrangement (other than this Agreement) with any other shareholder of MID relating in any way to the manner in which it will exercise or not exercise its voting rights respecting shares of MID (otherwise than in favour of the Plan of Arrangement) unless such agreement or arrangement is entered into in response to an event, action or matter that arises after the Effective Time and was not contemplated or anticipated by the Initiating Shareholders before the Effective Time.

 

- 4 -


14. If any Initiating Shareholder, alone or together with one or more persons with whom such Initiating Shareholder does not deal at arm’s length for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), is, or prior to the Effective Time becomes, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares or 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Class B Shares, then such Initiating Shareholder shall not dispose of any of its shares of MID before the Effective Time to a person who is not related to such Initiating Shareholder for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or to a partnership.

15. MacKenzie Financial Corporation (“MFC”), being one of the Initiating Shareholders, shall cause those of its funds on behalf of which MFC signed the Support Agreement which are corporations not to acquire any additional Class A Shares and Class B Shares before the Effective Date either directly or indirectly by way of options, swaps, future or forward contracts, hedging contracts or similar transactions.

16. This Agreement is an agreement between each Initiating Shareholder and MID, 445 and the Stronach Trust, and no Initiating Shareholder has an agreement with any other Initiating Shareholder and no Initiating Shareholder may enforce this Agreement against any other Initiating Shareholder. Only MID, 445 or the Stronach Trust may enforce this Agreement against an Initiating Shareholder. Each Initiating Shareholder confirms that in negotiating and executing this Agreement it did not intend and did not become a “group” (as defined in Rule 13d of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with any other Initiating Shareholder with respect to the matters contemplated herein. This Agreement may not be amended without the written consent of holders of a majority of the Class A Shares held by all Initiating Shareholders. This Agreement is not intended to confer on any person other than the parties any rights or remedies.

17. Each Initiating Shareholder and 445 confirms and agrees that the Support Agreement remains in full force and effect, subject to this Agreement.

18. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and shall take effect upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement or a counterpart hereof by each of the Initiating Shareholders. For purposes of the enforcement of this Agreement and the Arrangement Agreement, the parties hereby irrevocably attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario.

Exhibit D

SUPPORT AGREEMENT

FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the shareholders (each a “Shareholder”, and collectively the “Supporting Shareholders”) of MI Developments Inc. (the “Company”) listed in the attached Schedule A, and such other direct or indirect shareholders of the Company who may execute a counterpart of this Agreement, agree as follows with respect to a plan of arrangement or other form of transaction (the “Transaction”) substantially on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the attached Schedule B. For this purpose, each of the Supporting Shareholders further agrees as follows with respect to itself:

 

1. Certain shareholders of the Company (the “Initiating Shareholders”) have entered into a support agreement with 445327 Ontario Limited (“445”) dated December 22, 2010 (the “Initiating Shareholders Support Agreement”) with respect to the Transaction.

 

2. The Initiating Shareholders have proposed, with the support of 445, the Transaction to the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company and requested that the Board take all action required to implement the Transaction as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

 

3. Each Shareholder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class B Shares of the Company (the “Shares”) owned or controlled by that Shareholder in favour of the Transaction.

 

4. Each Shareholder confirms that it owns or controls the class and number of Shares set out below its signature on the counterpart executed by it and has the authority to vote or direct the voting of such Shares as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

5. For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, as to each Shareholder, each Shareholder shall not sell or otherwise transfer any Shares or take any other action that would prevent it from carrying out its obligations under this Agreement except that the Shareholder may sell or otherwise transfer all or part of the Shares to a person, corporation or entity that agrees to be bound by the terms hereof and executes a counterpart to this Agreement.

 

6. Each Shareholder has the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by giving notice to the Company if:

 

  (a) the terms of the Transaction are changed from those set out in Schedule B in a manner that is adverse to that Shareholder or to all Initiating Shareholders and Supporting Shareholders in a material respect;

 

  (b) the Shareholder, acting reasonably, determines that the definitive documents do not reflect the terms contemplated in Schedule B in a manner that is materially adverse to the Shareholder;


  (c) the execution of definitive documentation relating to the transaction has not occurred by January 31, 2011 or the transaction has not been implemented by June 30, 2011;

 

  (d) the meeting of shareholders of the Company to approve the Transaction has occurred;

 

  (e) this Agreement has not been signed (by joinder or counterpart) on or before January 31, 2011 by holders of Class B Shares which constitutes a “majority of the minority” of such shares for purposes of National Instrument 61-101 (excluding in such calculation Shares held by the Magna Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (Canada)); or

 

  (f) less than 30% of all outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares remain subject to this Agreement or the Initiating Shareholders Support Agreement.

445 agrees to promptly notify each Shareholder if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any of the foregoing events except for the event referred to in (d) above.

 

7. Each Shareholder confirms that it has been a long-time investor in the Company and has sufficient knowledge of and access to information concerning the Company and its Shares to decide to enter into this Agreement. Each Shareholder further confirms that any factors peculiar to that Shareholder, including non-financial factors, that were considered relevant by that Shareholder in assessing the terms of the Transaction did not have the effect of reducing the consideration that otherwise would have been considered acceptable by that Shareholder. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as meaning or implying that the Shareholder possesses any undisclosed information relating to the Company.

 

8. Each Shareholder confirms that the following statement is     X     or is not              (check as applicable) accurate in respect of the Shareholder:

The Shareholder is not (i) an “interested party” (as defined in National Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“NI 61-101”)) in respect of the Transaction, (ii) a “related party” (as defined in NI 61-101) of an “interested party” in respect of the Transaction or (iii) acting “jointly or in concert”, as determined in accordance with section 91 of the Securities Act (Ontario), with an “interested party” in respect of the Transaction or with a “related party” of an “interested party” in respect of the Transaction.

 

9. Each Shareholder agrees to execute and deliver a proxy to the Company in respect of the meeting of shareholders to be called to approve the Transaction as contemplated by this Agreement.

11. This Agreement is an agreement between each Shareholder and 445, and no Shareholder has an agreement with any other Shareholder and no Shareholder may enforce this Agreement against any other Shareholder. Only 445 may enforce this Agreement against a Shareholder. There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, except the Initiating Shareholders and Supporting Shareholders. Each Shareholder confirms that in negotiating and executing this Agreement it did not intend and did not become a “group” (as defined in Rule 13d of the Securities Exchange Act) with any other Shareholder with respect to the matters contemplated herein. This Agreement may not be amended without the written consent of holders of a majority of the Class A Shares and Class B Shares held by all Initiating Shareholders and Supporting Shareholders.
