Notwithstanding Section 5.1, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Required Shareholder Approval, the Company receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal, the Company and its Representatives may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal and, subject to entering into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with such Person containing confidentiality, standstill and other terms that are no less favourable to the Company in the aggregate than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and which do not restrict the Company from complying with this Article 5 (it being understood and agreed that such confidentiality and standstill agreement need not restrict the making of a confidential Acquisition Proposal and related communications to the Company or the Board), the Company and its Representatives may provide copies of, access to or disclosure of information, properties, facilities, books or records of the Company or its Subsidiaries (provided that the Company provides a copy of such confidentiality and standstill agreement to the Purchaser prior to providing such Person with any such copies, access or disclosure and makes such information available to the Parent substantially simultaneously to the extent such information was not previously made available to the Parent), if and only if:

(a) the Board first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to engage in such discussions our negotiations would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties;

(b) such Person was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar restriction with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

(c) the Acquisition Proposal did not arise, directly or indirectly, as a result of a violation by the Company of this Article 5 or by the OCM Shareholders of the Company Support and Voting Agreements; and

(d) the Company has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under Article 5 in all material respects.

Section 5.4        Right to Match

(1) If the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to obtaining the Required Shareholder Approval, the Board may, or may cause the Company to make a Change in Recommendation and, subject to compliance with Section 8.2(3), terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(c)(ii) in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(a) the Company has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under Article 5 in all material respects;

(b) the Acquisition Proposal did not arise, directly or indirectly, as a result of a violation by the Company of this Article 5 or by the OCM Shareholders of the Company Support and Voting Agreements;

(c) the Company or its Representatives have delivered to the Purchaser a written notice of the determination of the Board that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Board to enter into such definitive agreement and make a Change in Recommendation, together with a written notice from the Board regarding the value and financial terms that the Board, in consultation with its financial advisors, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Acquisition Proposal (the “Superior Proposal Notice”);

(d) the Company or its Representatives have provided to the Purchaser a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal (including any financing commitments or other documents containing material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal);

(f) during any Matching Period, the Purchaser has had the opportunity (but not the obligation), in accordance with Section 5.4(2), to offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal;

(g) after the Matching Period, the Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (and, if applicable, compared to the terms of the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the Purchaser under Section 5.4(2)); and

(h) the Board has determined, in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation and terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

(2) During the Matching Period, or such longer period as the Company may approve in writing for such purpose: (a) the Board shall, in good faith, review any offer made by the Purchaser under Section 5.4(1)(f) to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and (b) the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the Purchaser to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the Purchaser to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms. If the Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall promptly so advise the Purchaser and the Company and the Purchaser shall amend this Agreement to reflect such offer made by the Purchaser, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

(3) Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.4, provided that the Matching Period in respect of such new Acquisition Proposal shall extend only until the later of the end of the initial five (5) Business Day Matching Period and 36 hours after the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice for the new Superior Proposal and a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the new Superior Proposal (including any financing commitments or other documents containing material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal).

(4) If the Company provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the Purchaser on a date that is less than ten (10) Business Days before the Company Meeting or if the Company Meeting is to be held during a Matching Period, the Company shall either proceed with or shall postpone the Company Meeting, as directed by the Purchaser acting reasonably, to a date that is not more than ten Business Days after the scheduled date of the Company Meeting but in any event the Company Meeting shall not be postponed to a date which would prevent the Effective Date from occurring on or prior to the Outside Date.

(5) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Board from making any disclosure to any securityholders of the Company prior to the Company Meeting, if, in the good faith judgment of the Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the Board’s exercise of its fiduciary duties or disclosure is otherwise required by law; provided that the Purchaser and its counsel shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such disclosure and the Board shall give reasonable consideration to such comments.  In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Board from responding, within the time and in the manner required by applicable Securities Laws, to any Acquisition Proposal by take-over or tender or exchange offer made for the Shares that it determines is not a Superior Proposal; provided that the Purchaser and its counsel shall be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such response and the Board shall give reasonable consideration to such comments. Nothing contained in this Section 5.4(5) shall (a) permit the Board to make a Change in Recommendation other than as permitted by Section 5.4 and (b) limit in any way (i) the rights of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(d)(ii) or (ii) the obligations of the Company contained in this Agreement, including the obligation to convene and hold the Company Meeting in accordance with Section 2.3.

then the Parent or the Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid) all reasonable documented expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Arrangement up to a maximum of $3,500,000 by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination.

(6) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements the Parties would not enter into this Agreement, and that any payments made pursuant to this Section 8.2 are made in consideration for the disposition of the recipient’s rights under this Agreement, and that the amounts set out in this Section 8.2 represent liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, including opportunity costs, reputational damages and expenses, which the affected Party or Parties will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of this Agreement, and are not penalties.  Each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to the Purchaser’s and the Parent’s rights set forth in Section 8.5, in the event of the termination of this Agreement by the Purchaser or the Company in circumstances that constitute a Termination Fee Event, the receipt of the Termination Fee by the Purchaser shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (including damages, specific performance and injunctive relief) of the Parent and the Purchaser and their respective affiliates against the Company, its affiliates and any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, affiliates, shareholders, managers, members or agents and the Financing Sources for all breaches of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby by the Company and the failure of the transactions contemplated herein to be consummated (including with respect to any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Arrangement to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder, other than a Willful Breach).  For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that the Company and the Purchaser shall be entitled to pursue an injunction, or other form of specific performance or equitable relief, solely as provided in Section 8.5.

(7) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements the Parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to pay the Termination Fee when due and, in order to obtain such payment, the Purchaser commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of such or portion thereof at the prime rate of the Royal Bank of Canada in effect on such date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

Section 8.4        Time of the Essence

Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

Section 8.5        Injunctive Relief

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 injunctive 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.

Section 8.6        Third Party Beneficiaries

(1) Except as provided in Section 4.12 and the Financing Sources Sections which, without limiting its terms, are intended as stipulations for the benefit of the third Persons mentioned in such provisions (such third Persons referred to in this Section 8.6, including the Financing Sources, as the “Third Party Beneficiaries”) and except for the rights of the Affected Securityholders to receive the applicable consideration following the Effective Time pursuant to the Arrangement (for which purpose the Company hereby confirms that it is acting as agent on behalf of the Affected Securityholders), 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.

(2) Despite the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge to each of the Third Party Beneficiaries their direct rights against the applicable Party under Section 4.12, which are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Third Party Beneficiary, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives, and for such purpose, the Company confirms that it is acting as agent on their behalf, and agrees to enforce such provisions on their behalf.

(3) Each of the Parties acknowledges to each of the Financing Sources, as a Third Party Beneficiary, their direct rights against it under the Financing Sources Sections, which are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Financing Source, its heirs and its legal representatives.

Section 8.7        Waiver

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

Section 8.8        Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the Company Disclosure Letter, Parent and Purchaser Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute 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 forth in this Agreement. 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.

Section 8.9        Successors and Assigns

(1) This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by the Company, the Parent and the Purchaser. After that time, it will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Company, the Parent and the Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(2) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company (including on behalf of the Company Related Parties) agrees that the Parent or the Purchaser (i) may assign all or any part of its rights under this Agreement to, and its obligations under this Agreement may be assumed by, any of its affiliates, provided that it shall continue to be liable jointly and severally with such affiliate for all of its obligations hereunder (ii) may assign their rights under this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Company to the Financing Sources as collateral security for the obligations of the Parent or the Purchaser to such Financing Sources.

Section 8.10        Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. For greater certainty, if any provision of this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement is interpreted by a Securities Authority in a manner that would result in the intentions set out in the Company Voting and Support Agreements with respect to the voting of the Shares subject to such Company Voting and Support Agreements not being achieved, it will be deemed to be incapable of being enforced to the extent necessary so that such intentions can be realized.

Section 8.11        Governing Law

(1) This Agreement and any disputes relating to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby will be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

(2) Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts situated in the City of Toronto and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or that such court provides an inconvenient forum.

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the Parties (including the Company on behalf of the Company Related Parties) hereby agrees that (i) it will not bring or support an action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof) and (ii) any such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

(4) The Parent appoints the Purchaser as agent for the service of process in Ontario in any legal proceeding with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that in the case of any such service upon the Purchaser, the Party affecting such service shall also deliver a copy thereof to the other Parties in the manner provided in Section 8.3. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party to service process in any manner permitted by applicable Law.

Any such amounts will be deducted, withheld and remitted from the amount otherwise payable or deliverable pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement and shall be treated for all purposes under this Plan of Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction, withholding and remittance was made; provided that such deducted and withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity.  To satisfy the amount required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to any former holder of Company Shares or Company Incentive Securities, the Parent, the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, may sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Consideration payable to such holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to enable the Parent, the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, to comply with such deduction and/or withholding requirements.

(b)Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of this Agreement to the contrary, each Stockholder shall not directly transfer any Company Securities to any Competitor; provided that the restrictions in this Section 4.1(b) shall not apply to (i) sales in the open market and (ii) any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made generally available to holders of Company Securities involving a change of control of the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.1(b) shall not prohibit any bona fide transfers to a Person that subsequently makes a bona fide transfer to a Competitor; provided that at the time of the bona fide Transfer from such Stockholder to such Person, such subsequent transfer to a Competitor was not known by such Stockholder.

(c)Block Trades. Without limiting the restrictions in Section 4.1(a) or (b), any Transfer of any Company Securities that is a Block Sale shall comply with this Section 4.1(c). All requests for a Block Sale by a Stockholder shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (a “Block Sale Notice”). Before any Stockholder may effect a Block Sale it must deliver a Block Sale Notice to the Company. Each Block Sale Notice shall specify (i) the approximate number of Company Securities proposed to be sold in the Block Sale (the “Block Shares”), and (ii) the proposed date of such proposed Block Sale (provided that such date must be at least three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Block Sale Notice). In connection with any Block Sale (x) such Block Sale shall be consummated within 30 days after receipt of the Block Sale Notice by the Company and (y) the Stockholder shall cause any transferee who acquires (or if after giving effect to such Block Trade would own) 10% or more of the Company Securities in any such Block Trade (a “Block Sale Transferee”) to execute and deliver to the Company a counterpart signature to this Agreement (or a joinder agreement making such Person a party hereto) and such transferee shall be bound by the obligations herein and, to the extent agreed with the Stockholder, entitled to such rights hereunder as shall be transferred by the Stockholder thereto pursuant to Section 5.1(h) hereof. To the extent that such Block Sale is not consummated within the time period specified in this Section 4.1(c), such Stockholder shall be obligated to send a new Block Sale Notice to the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (A) a stockholder may Transfer Company Securities in a Block Sale to an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker (as defined below) without the requirement that the Qualified Marketmaker be or become a Stockholder or be deemed to be a Block Sale Transferee; provided that the Qualified Marketmaker subsequently Transfers the right, title or interest to such Company Securities to one or more transferees and in the event that any such transferee is or becomes a Stockholder or a Block Sale Transferee, it shall comply with the terms of this Section 4.1(c) and the Transfer documentation between the transferor Stockholder and such Qualified Marketmaker shall contain a requirement that provides for the assumption of such obligations hereunder by such ultimate transferee; and (B) to the extent any Stockholder is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer any Company Securities that it acquires from a holder of such Company Securities that is not a Stockholder without the requirement that the transferee be a Block Sale Transferee who complies with the terms of this Section 4.1(c).

(d)Any Transfer of (or attempt to Transfer) any Company Securities, other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed null and void and neither the Stockholders nor any transfer agent of such securities shall give any effect to such attempted Transfer or encumbrance in its stock record.

ARTICLE V.REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 5.1Registration Rights.

(a)At any time after the Effective Time of the Arrangement, each Stockholder (such Stockholder, including any Affiliate thereof that holds Registrable Securities, a “Demand Holder”) shall have the right to request that the Company file a Registration Statement with the SEC on the appropriate registration form for all or part of the Registrable Securities, by delivering a written request thereof to the Company specifying the number of shares of Registrable Securities such Demand Holder wishes to register (a “Demand Registration”). The Company shall prepare such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, on Form S-1, Form F-1, Form S-3 or Form F-3 (or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar long-form or short-form registration) (including a registration to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, if so requested and the Company is then eligible to use such a registration) and file the same as soon as practicable (but in any event not earlier than (3) months after the Effective Time of the Arrangement), and thereafter shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective in respect of each Demand Registration in accordance with the intended method of distribution set forth in the written request delivered by the Stockholder as expeditiously as possible and in any case in accordance with Section 5.2(a)(i). As promptly as practicable, but no later than ten (10) days after receipt of a notice of a Demand Registration, the Company shall give written notice thereof to all holders of record of Registrable Securities other than the Demand Holder(s) making such request. The Company shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company receives, within the ten (10) days immediately following the receipt by the Stockholders of such notice from the Company, a request for inclusion in the registration from the Stockholder thereof. Each such request from a Stockholder for inclusion in the Registration shall also specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered.

(b)The Stockholders may collectively make a total of two (2) Demand Registration requests pursuant to Section 5.1(a). No registration under this Article V shall be counted against the limitation in the preceding sentence other than a long-form registration effected pursuant to a Demand Registration under Section 5.1(a) or a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (as defined below), provided that (i) with respect to a long-form registration, the Stockholders shall be entitled to an additional Demand Registration right to the extent the related Registration Statement is withdrawn or otherwise not available for use for the sale of the Company Securities covered thereby and (ii) a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be only counted as a request for a Demand Registration for purposes of this Section 5.1(b) if it is actually consummated with respect to no less than 75% of the amount of Company Securities requested to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down.

(c)RESERVED.

(d)The Company may include in any offering pursuant to a Demand Registration other Equity Securities for sale for its own account or for the account of another Person (the “Other Securities”) subject to the following sentence. If the Registrable Securities and Other Securities are to be sold in a Demand Registration in a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriters of such Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that, in their good faith opinion, the number of Equity Securities proposed to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number of securities that can reasonably be expected to be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then there shall be included in such offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the good faith opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated for inclusion as follows: (A) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by the Demand Holder and, if different, any Stockholder who was a Stockholder as of the Effective Time, pro rata (B) second, the Registrable Securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration was requested by the other holders of Registrable Securities, pro rata, and (C) third, Other Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration to the extent permitted hereunder allocated among the Company and the respective holders of such Other Securities, as applicable, as determined by the Company and such holders.

(e)(A) The Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) any Demand Registration within one hundred twenty (120) after the effective date of any other registration statement of the Company (unless such Demand Registration is a Short-Form Registration pursuant to Section 5.1(g), in which case the Company shall not be obligated to effect such Short-Form Registration within ninety (90) days after the effective date of any other registration statement of the Company); or (B) if the Board, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would materially interfere with any existing or potential material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger, share exchange or other transaction or event involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, because the Company does not yet have appropriate financial statements of acquired or to be acquired entities available for filing or because the Company has material, confidential information that may be required to be disclosed in a registration statement and which the Board deems reasonably inappropriate to disclose at such time (in each case, a “Valid Business Reason”), then (x) the Company may postpone filing a registration statement relating to a Demand Registration until five (5) Business Days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than sixty (60) days after the date the Board determines a Valid Business Reason exists and (y) in case a registration statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, the Company may, to the extent determined in the good faith judgment of the Board to be reasonably necessary to avoid interference with any of the transactions described above, suspend use of or, if required by the SEC, cause such registration statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such registration statement until five (5) Business Days after such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than sixty (60) days after the date the Board determines a Valid Business Reason exists (such period of postponement or withdrawal under this clause (ii), the “Postponement Period”). The Company shall give written notice to the Stockholders of its determination to postpone filing or suspend use of or withdraw a registration statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement, suspension or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Each Stockholder of Registrable Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company that the Company has determined to suspend use of, withdraw, terminate or postpone filing, amending or supplementing any registration statement pursuant to clause (B) above, such Stockholder will discontinue its disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. If the Company shall have suspended use of, withdrawn or prematurely terminated a registration statement filed under Section 5.1(a) (whether pursuant to clause (B) above or as a result of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court), the Company shall not be considered to have effected a Demand Registration for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) until the Company shall have permitted use of such suspended registration statement or filed a new registration statement covering the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or terminated registration statement and such registration statement shall have been declared effective and shall not have been withdrawn and any stop order or injunction has been lifted and any other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court has been complied with such that the sale of securities under the registration statement is permissable. If the Company shall give any notice of suspension, withdrawal or postponement of a registration statement, the Company shall, not later than five (5) Business Days after the Valid Business Reason that caused such suspension, withdrawal or postponement no longer exists (but in no event later than sixty-five (65) days after the date of the suspension, postponement or withdrawal), as applicable, permit use of such suspended registration statement or use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or postponed registration statement in accordance with this Section 5.1(e) (unless the Stockholders shall have withdrawn such request, in which case the Company shall not be considered to have effected a Demand Registration for the purposes of Section 5.1(a) and such request shall not count as a Demand Registration under Section 5.1(b)), and following such permission or such effectiveness such registration shall no longer be deemed to be suspended, withdrawn or postponed pursuant to clause (B) above.

(f)In the event of a Demand Registration, the Company shall be required to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement for a period of at least 180 days after the effective date thereof or such shorter period in which all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have actually been sold, except that if the Company is requested to file a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis it shall be required to maintain the continuous effectiveness of such Registration Statement until all Registrable Securities initially covered thereby are no longer Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a registration requested pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall not be deemed to have been effected and shall not be deemed a Demand Registration under Section 5.1(b) (i) if not a registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 415 for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis, if it does not remain effective for at least 180 days (or such shorter period as will terminate when all securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or withdrawn) or (ii) in the event of an underwritten offering, if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of some wrongful act or omission by a holder of Registrable Securities affiliated with the Demand Holder that made the request for the Demand Registration.

(g)Within sixty (60) days of becoming eligible to file a Form S-3 or Form F-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration (including pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) (“Short-Form Registration”), the Company shall, upon the written request delivered to the Company of any Stockholder who was such at the Effective Time (which for the avoidance of doubt shall not be considered a Demand Registration), file a shelf registration statement on such form providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis of all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, to permit the distribution of the Registrable Securities.  Upon filing a Short Form Registration, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Short-Form Registration effective with the SEC at all times through the end of the Effective Period and to refile such Short-Form Registration upon its expiration (if such expiration occurs prior to the end of the Effective Period), and to cooperate in any shelf take down by amending or supplementing the prospectus statement related to such Short-Form Registration as may reasonably be requested by the holders of Registrable Securities or as otherwise required.  Any holder of Registrable Securities included in the Short-Form Registration (an “Initiating Shelf Holder”) may initiate an offering or sale of all or part of such Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Take-Down”), in which case the provisions of this Section 5.1(g) shall apply.   If an Initiating Shelf Holder is a Stockholder who was such as of the Effective Date, it may elect, in a written request delivered to the Company (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”), that a Shelf Take-Down be in the form of an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”) and the Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Short-Form Registration for such purpose as soon as practicable; provided, that any such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that is a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (as defined below) shall be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 5.1(b), a Demand Registration. Such Initiating Shelf Holder shall indicate in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice whether it intends for such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to involve a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”). Upon receipt of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice indicating that such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down will be a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the Company shall promptly (but in any event no later than ten days prior to the expected date of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down) give written notice of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the priorities described in Section 5.1(d), shall permit the participation of all such holders that request inclusion in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down who respond in writing within five days after the receipt of such notice of their election to participate. If such Initiating Shelf Holder desires to effect a Shelf Take-Down that does not constitute a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (a “Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), the Initiating Shelf Holder shall so indicate in the Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice delivered to the Company, which request shall include (i) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (including the delivery of one or more stock certificates representing shares of Registrable Securities to be sold in such Non-Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), and, the Company shall file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Initiating Shelf Holder(s) shall only be entitled to request a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down pursuant to this Section 5.1(g) if such Initiating Shelf Holder(s), together with all other Initiating Shelf Holders delivering the request for the Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, are requesting the registration of Registrable Securities with an aggregate estimated market value of at least $25 million.

(h)In connection with the Transfer of Registrable Securities to any Person in accordance herewith, a Stockholder who was such as of the Effective Time may (i) assign the right to exercise one Demand Registration pursuant to Section 5.1(a) with respect to a transfer of Company Securities representing at least 50% of the Registrable Securities held by such Stockholder as of the Effective Time and (ii) grant the right to participate in any registration pursuant to the terms of Section 5.1(i).

(i)(A) If, at any time during the Effective Period, the Company (other than pursuant to Section 5.1(a) through (h)) proposes or is required to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of Company Securities, whether or not for sale for its own account (other than a registration statement (i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto, (ii) filed solely in connection with any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan or (iii) pursuant to a Demand Registration in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof), in a manner that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give written notice of such proposed filing at least 30 days before the anticipated filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to the holders of Registrable Securities.  The Piggyback Notice shall offer the holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities as they may request (a “Piggyback Registration”).  Subject to Section 5.1(i)(B) hereof, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received from any holder thereof written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days following receipt of any Piggyback Notice by such holder, which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and the intended method of distribution thereof.  The holders shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of the Registrable Securities from a Piggyback Registration at any time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement relating to such Piggyback Registration.  No Piggyback Registration shall count towards registrations required under Section 5.1(b).

(B) If any of the securities to be registered pursuant to the registration giving rise to the rights of holders of Registrable Securities under this Section 5.1(i) are to be sold in an underwritten offering, such holders shall be permitted to include all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration in such offering on the same terms and conditions as any Other Securities included therein; provided, however, that if such offering involves a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering advise the Company in writing that it is their good faith opinion that the total amount of Registrable Securities requested to be so included, together with all Other Securities that the Company and any other Persons having rights to participate in such registration intend to include in such offering, exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be so included together with all Other Securities, then there shall be included in such firm commitment underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities and such Other Securities that in the good faith opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities shall be allocated for inclusion as follows:

(i)first, all Other Securities being sold by the Company, in the case of a registration initiated by the Company, or by any Person (other than a holder of Registrable Securities), in the case of a registration initiated by such Person, exercising a contractual right to demand registration;

(ii)second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included by the holders thereof, pro rata (if applicable), based on the number of Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by each such holder; and

(iii)third, all Other Securities being sold by the Company (in the case of a registration in response to the exercise of contractual right to a demand registration other than by a holder of Registrable Securities) or, in the case of a Company initiated registration, being sold by any other holders of Other Securities requesting to participate therein, pro rata, based on the number of Other Securities Beneficially Owned by each such holder of Other Securities or as otherwise determined by such holders of Other Securities.

(j)(A) Each Stockholder agrees that in connection with any registered underwritten offering of Registrable Securities in which it is a participating as a selling Stockholder, and upon request from the managing underwriter(s) for such offering, such Stockholder will not, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter(s), during such period as is reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s) (which period shall in no event be longer than ninety (90) days from the pricing date of such offering), Transfer any Registrable Securities held by such Stockholder. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1(j)(A) shall be applicable to the Stockholders only if, for so long as and to the extent that the Company, the directors and executive officers of the Company and each selling Stockholder included in such offering are subject to substantially similar restrictions. Each Stockholder agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1(j)(A) and are necessary to give further effect thereto and each such Stockholder shall receive the benefit of any shorter “lockup” period or permitted exceptions (on a pro rata basis) or waivers agreed to by the managing underwriter(s) for any such offering.

(B)  For the avoidance of doubt. with respect to each underwritten offering of Registrable Securities covered by a registration pursuant to Section 5.1, the Company agrees that upon request from the managing underwriter(s) for such offering, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter(s), during such period as is reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s) (which period shall in no event be longer than ninety (90) days from the pricing date of such offering), effect any public sale or distribution, or to file any registration statement (other than (x) any such registration statement required under Section 3.1 or (y) a registration statement (i) on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any successor forms thereto or (ii) filed solely in connection with any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan) covering any of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1(j)(B) shall be applicable to the Company only if, for so long as and to the extent that the each selling Stockholder included in such offering are subject to substantially similar restrictions. The Company agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1(j)(B) and are necessary to give further effect thereto and shall receive the benefit of any shorter “lockup” period or permitted exceptions or waivers agreed to by the managing underwriter(s) for any such offering.

Section 5.2Registration Procedures.

(a)If and whenever a Stockholder properly requests that the Company effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5.1, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect and facilitate the registration, offering and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as promptly as is practicable and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall as expeditiously as possible and as applicable use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have.

(b)In connection with any registration in which a Stockholder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such Stockholder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, employees, agents and any Person who is or might be deemed to be a Controlling Person of the Company against any losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any legal, administrative, regulatory or other suit, action, claim, audit, assessment, arbitration or other proceeding, investigation or inquiry), judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement,, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state blue sky securities laws, any equivalent non-U.S. securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, actions, damages, liabilities or expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in any Registration Statement or any supplement thereto or amendment thereof or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (iii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated in any Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iv) any information provided by such Stockholder or at the instruction of such Stockholder to any Person participating in the offer at the point of sale containing any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact or omitting or allegedly omitting any material fact required to be included in such information or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus, free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or other information in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such Stockholder expressly for use therein, and such Stockholder shall promptly reimburse the Company, its directors and officers, employees, agents and any Person who is or might be deemed to be a Controlling Person of the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, action, damage, liability or expense as such expenses are incurred; provided, that the obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting Selling Expenses) actually received by such Stockholder in the sale of Registrable Securities to which such Registration Statement or Prospectus relates. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability which such Stockholder may otherwise have.

(c)Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 5.3; provided, that any failure or delay to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such failure or delay. In case a claim or an action that is subject or potentially subject to indemnification hereunder is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to the indemnified party as promptly as practicable after receipt of written notice from such indemnified party of such claim or action, to assume, at the indemnifying party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or action, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party; provided, that any indemnified party shall continue to be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim or action, with counsel of its own choice, but the indemnifying party shall not be obligated to reimburse the indemnified party for any fees, costs and expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such defense unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense of such claim or action within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim or action, (C) having assumed the defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party fails to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or to pursue the defense of such claim or action in a reasonably vigorous manner, (D) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (E) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it and/or any other indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party. Subject to the proviso in the foregoing sentence, no indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one (1) claim or action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general circumstances or allegations, be liable for the fees, costs and expenses of more than one (1) firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified parties. The indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle a claim or action for which any indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into or agree to any settlement relating to such claim or action unless such judgment or settlement does not impose any admission of wrongdoing or ongoing obligations on any indemnified party and includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, of a full and final release from all liability in respect of such claim or action. The indemnifying party shall not be liable hereunder for any amount paid or payable or incurred pursuant to or in connection with any judgment entered or settlement effected with the consent of an indemnified party unless the indemnifying party has also consented to such judgment or settlement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.3 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or unenforceable by, an indemnified party in respect of any loss, claim, action, damage, liability or expense referred to herein, then the applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, action, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, omissions or violations which resulted in such loss, claim, action, damage, liability or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party, whether the violation of the Securities Act or any other federal or state securities law or rule or regulation promulgated thereunder or equivalent non-U.S. securities laws applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any registration of securities was perpetrated by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or violation. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method or allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5.3(iv). In no event shall the amount which a Stockholder of Registrable Securities may be obligated to contribute pursuant to this Section 5.3(iv) exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting Selling Expenses) actually received by such Stockholder in the sale of Registrable Securities that gives rise to such obligation to contribute. No indemnified party guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party or any officer, director or Controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of any Registrable Securities by any Stockholder.

Section 5.4Rule 144.  The Company covenants that it will timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to make publicly available other information which would permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the SEC), and it will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action as any such holder may reasonably request to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.

However, in the event that any provision or portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect such provision or portion shall be construed by limiting it so as to be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent provided by law and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions and portions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction such that the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion thereof shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Section 7.4Entire Agreement; Amendment; Waiver.

(a)This Agreement (including any documents and instruments referred to herein), together with the Arrangement Agreement, sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and supersedes and replaces any prior understanding, agreement or statement of intent, in each case written or oral, of any kind and every nature with respect hereto.

(b)No amendment, modification or discharge of this Agreement, and no waiver hereunder, and no extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations hereunder, shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by (i) the Company where enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge, waiver or extension is sought against the Company or (ii) the Stockholders where enforcement of the amendment, modification, discharge, waiver or extension is sought against the Stockholders. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. The waiver by the Company or the Stockholders of a breach of, or a default under, any of the provisions hereof, or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.
