(a)
CMI shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, representative (including for greater certainty any financial or other advisors) or agent of CMI or any of its Subsidiaries:

 
(i)
solicit, assist, initiate, encourage or otherwise facilitate (including, without limitation, by way of furnishing non-public information, permitting any visit to any facilities or properties of CMI or any Subsidiaries or entering into any form of written or oral agreement, arrangement or understanding) any inquiries, proposals or offers regarding an Acquisition Proposal;

 
(ii)

(iii)
withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Genterra, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Genterra, the approval or recommendation by the Board of Directors of CMI or any committee thereof with respect to this Agreement or the Amalgamation (it being understood that publicly taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification, except that publicly taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal for a period of time not in excess of 10 days after the first public announcement of such Acquisition Proposal shall not be considered an adverse modification (such time period, an “Acquisition Proposal Assessment Period”) unless such position continues beyond the expiration of the Acquisition Proposal Assessment Period);

 
(iv)
approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or

 
(v)
accept or enter into or propose publicly to approve or recommend any letter of intent, agreement in principle, agreement, arrangement or undertaking related to any Acquisition Proposal.

 
(b)
Subject to Sections 6.2A(d), 6.2A(e) and 6.2B but notwithstanding Section 6.2A(a) and any other provision of this Agreement, nothing shall prevent the Board of Directors of CMI at any time prior to the approval of the CMI Amalgamation Resolution by the shareholders of CMI from considering, discussing or negotiating an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal received after the date of this Agreement that (i) did not result from a breach of Section 6.2A(a) and (ii) the Board of Directors of CMI determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel) is a Superior Proposal and only if the Board of Directors of CMI determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

 
(c)
CMI will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation, discussion or negotiation with any Person (other than Genterra) by CMI or any Subsidiaries or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal, whether or not initiated by CMI or any Subsidiaries or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents, and, in connection therewith, CMI will discontinue access to any data rooms (virtual or otherwise).  CMI shall not release any third party from any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement.  Within 15 days from the date hereof, CMI shall request the return or destruction of all information provided to any third parties who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with CMI relating to any potential Acquisition Proposal and shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that such requests are honoured in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreements.

 
(d)
CMI shall promptly notify Genterra by telephone, followed by notice in writing, of any proposal, inquiry, offer (or any amendment thereto) or request relating to or constituting a bona fide Acquisition Proposal received after the date hereof, or of any request received after the date hereof for non-public information relating to CMI or any Subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of CMI or any Subsidiaries by any Person, and shall provide Genterra with copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer, request or Acquisition Proposal.  Such notice shall include a description of the material terms and conditions of any proposal and provide such details of the proposal, inquiry or contact as Genterra may reasonably request including the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry or contact.  CMI shall keep Genterra reasonably informed of the status and the material terms and conditions (including any amendment thereto) of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request.

 
(e)
If, prior to the date of the Meeting, CMI receives a request for material non-public information from a Person who proposes a bona fide Acquisition Proposal (notice of which has been provided to Genterra in accordance with Section 6.2A(d)) and is permitted, as contemplated by Section 6.2A(b), to consider, discuss or negotiate, then, and only in such case, the Board of Directors of CMI may, subject to the execution by such Person of a confidentiality agreement, provide such Person with access to information regarding CMI and its Subsidiaries which is no more favourable in form or scope than provided to Genterra.

 
(f)
Nothing contained in this Section 6.2A shall prohibit the Board of Directors of CMI at any time prior to approval of the CMI Amalgamation Resolution by the shareholders of CMI from:

 
(i)
making any disclosure of an Acquisition Proposal to the shareholders of CMI prior to the Effective Time if the Board of Directors of CMI determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that such disclosure is necessary for the Board of Directors of CMI to fulfill its fiduciary duties or is otherwise required under applicable Laws; and

 
(ii)
responding to a bona fide request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal solely by advising that no information can be provided unless a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal is made and then only in compliance with Section 6.2A(d).

Section 6.2B                      Notice by CMI of Superior Proposal Determination.

 
(a)
CMI shall not accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement contemplated by Section 6.2A(e)) on the basis that it would constitute a Superior Proposal unless it has provided Genterra with a copy of the Acquisition Proposal and five Business Days shall have elapsed from the later of (i) the date Genterra received written notice of CMI’s proposed determination to accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement relating to such Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) the date Genterra received a copy of the Acquisition Proposal.

 
(b)
During the five Business Day notice period referred to in Section 6.2B(a), CMI acknowledges that Genterra shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The Board of Directors of CMI will review any offer by Genterra to amend the terms of this Agreement in order to determine in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties (after consultation with its advisors and outside counsel) whether Genterra’s offer to amend the terms of this Agreement upon acceptance by CMI would result in the Acquisition Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the Board of Directors of CMI so determines, it will enter into an amended agreement with Genterra reflecting Genterra’s amended proposal. If the Board of Directors of CMI, acting reasonably and in good faith, continues to believe that the Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects Genterra’s amended proposal, CMI must terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(f) prior to entering into a definitive agreement with the Person making the Superior Proposal. For greater certainty, CMI shall be entitled to adjourn or postpone the Meeting for a period of seven Business Days from the date of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal referred to in Section 6.2B(a); provided, however, that the Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date later than December 31, 2009.

 
(c)
CMI acknowledges and agrees that each successive material modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 6.2B(a) to initiate an additional five Business Day notice period.

 
(d)
CMI’s Board of Directors shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Amalgamation by press release after (i) any Acquisition Proposal (which is determined not to be a Superior Proposal) is publicly announced or made; or (ii) CMI’s Board of Directors determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement would result in the Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal.  Genterra and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by CMI, acting reasonably.  Such press release shall state that CMI’s Board of Directors has determined that the Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal.

(a)
The board of directors of Genterra shall recommend to the Holders of Genterra Shares the approval of the Genterra Amalgamation Resolution.

(d)
Genterra agrees until the earlier of the Effective Date and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 8 that Genterra shall not, except for existing encumbrances and leases, sell, pledge, encumber, lease (whether such lease is an operating or capital lease) or otherwise dispose of any assets.

(iii)
withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to CMI, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to CMI, the approval or recommendation by the Board of Directors of Genterra or any committee thereof with respect to this Agreement or the Amalgamation (it being understood that publicly taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification, except that publicly taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal for a period of time not in excess of an Acquisition Proposal Assessment Period shall not be considered an adverse modification unless such position continues beyond the expiration of the Acquisition Proposal Assessment Period);

(b)
Subject to Sections 6.3A(d), 6.3A(e) and 6.3B but notwithstanding Section 6.3A(a)0 and any other provision of this Agreement, nothing shall prevent the Board of Directors of Genterra at any time prior to the approval of the Genterra Amalgamation Resolution by the shareholders of Genterra from considering, discussing or negotiating an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal received after the date of this Agreement that (i) did not result from a breach of Section 6.3A(a) and (ii) the Board of Directors of Genterra determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel) is a Superior Proposal if and only if the Board of Directors of Genterra determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

 
(c)
Genterra will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation, discussion or negotiation with any Person (other than CMI) by Genterra or any Subsidiaries or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal, whether or not initiated by Genterra or any Subsidiaries or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents, and, in connection therewith, Genterra will discontinue access to any data rooms (virtual or otherwise).  Genterra shall not release any third party from any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement.  Within 15 days from the date hereof, Genterra shall request the return or destruction of all information provided to any third parties who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with Genterra relating to any potential Acquisition Proposal and shall use all reasonable efforts to ensure that such requests are honoured in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreements.

(e)
If, prior to the date of the Meeting, Genterra receives a request for material non-public information from a Person who proposes a bona fide Acquisition Proposal (notice of which has been provided to CMI in accordance with Section 6.3A(d)) and is permitted, as contemplated by Section 6.3A(b), to consider, discuss or negotiate, then, and only in such case, the Board of Directors of Genterra may, subject to the execution by such Person of a confidentiality agreement, provide such Person with access to information regarding Genterra and its Subsidiaries which is no more favourable in form or scope than provided to CMI.

 
(f)
Nothing contained in this Section 6.3A shall prohibit the Board of Directors of Genterra at any time prior to approval of the Genterra Amalgamation Resolution by the shareholders of Genterra from:

 
(i)
making any disclosure of an Acquisition Proposal to the shareholders of Genterra prior to the Effective Time if the Board of Directors of Genterra determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that such disclosure is necessary for the Board of Directors of Genterra to fulfill its fiduciary duties or is otherwise required under applicable Laws; and

 
(ii)
responding to a bona fide request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal solely by advising that no information can be provided unless a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal is made and then only in compliance with Section 6.3A(d).

Section 6.3B                      Notice by Genterra of Superior Proposal Determination.

 
(a)
Genterra shall not accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement contemplated by Section 6.3A(e)) on the basis that it would constitute a Superior Proposal unless it has provided CMI with a copy of the Acquisition Proposal and five Business Days shall have elapsed from the later of (i) the date CMI received written notice of Genterra’s proposed determination to accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement relating to such Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) the date CMI received a copy of the Acquisition Proposal.

 
(b)
During the five Business Day notice period referred to in Section 6.3B(a), Genterra acknowledges that CMI shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The Board of Directors of Genterra will review any offer by CMI to amend the terms of this Agreement in order to determine in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties (after consultation with its advisors and outside counsel) whether CMI’s offer to amend the terms of this Agreement upon acceptance by Genterra would result in the Acquisition Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the Board of Directors of Genterra so determines, it will enter into an amended agreement with CMI reflecting CMI’s amended proposal. If the Board of Directors of Genterra, acting reasonably and in good faith, continues to believe that the Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects CMI’s amended proposal, Genterra must terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(g) prior to entering into a definitive agreement with the Person making the Superior Proposal. For greater certainty, Genterra shall be entitled to adjourn or postpone the Meeting for a period of seven Business Days from the date of receipt of an Acquisition Proposal referred to in Section 6.3B(a); provided, however, that the Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date later than December 31, 2009.

 
(c)
Genterra acknowledges and agrees that each successive material modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 6.3B(a) to initiate an additional five Business Day notice period.

 
(d)
Genterra’s Board of Directors shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Amalgamation by press release after (i) any Acquisition Proposal (which is determined not to be a Superior Proposal) is publicly announced or made; or (ii) Genterra’s Board of Directors determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement would result in the Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal.  CMI and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Genterra acting reasonably.  Such press release shall state that Genterra’s Board of Directors has determined that the Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal.

Section 6.4
Access to Information.

 
(a)
Subject to Subsection 6.4(b) and applicable Laws, upon reasonable notice to an officer of such party, each of CMI and Genterra shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford the officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives and advisors (“Representatives”) of the other party access, during normal business hours from the date hereof and until the earlier of the Effective Date or the termination of this Agreement, to its properties, books, contracts and records as well as to its management personnel; provided that such access shall be provided on a basis that minimizes the disruption to the operations of such party. During such period, each of CMI and Genterra shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to the other party all information concerning such party’s business, properties and personnel as the other party may reasonably request.

 
(b)
Genterra and CMI acknowledge that certain information received pursuant to Subsection 6.4(a) will be non-public or proprietary in nature and that, except as provided for herein, such parties shall not disclose such information to third parties without the prior written consent of the other party unless required to do so by Law.

Section 6.5
Closing Matters.

 
(a)
The completion of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement shall be closed at the offices of Genterra’s counsel, Goldman, Spring, Kichler & Sanders LLP, 40 Sheppard Avenue West, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, M2N 6K9, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto Time) (the “Time of Closing”) on July 31, 2009 or on such other date or at such other time and place as the parties may agree.

Such notice shall be mailed in an envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to each such shareholder at his address as it appears on the books of the Corporation or in the event of the address of any such shareholder not so appearing then to the last known address of such shareholder, provided, however, that the accidental failure or omission to give any such notice to any one or more of such shareholders shall not affect the validity of such redemption.

12.           The Corporation shall, on receipt of a request and share certificates, on the redemption date, redeem the shares by paying to the registered holder the amount per share as the directors may determine or may have determined by the resolution provided for in clause 2 determining the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the shares of such series together with all declared and unpaid dividends (if any) thereon up to the date fixed for redemption.  This payment shall be made by cheque payable at any branch in Canada of one of the Corporation's bankers for the time being.  If a part only of the Class A Preference Shares of such series represented by any certificates is redeemed, a new certificate for the balance shall be issued by the Corporation.

Certificates for such Common Shares shall be issued and delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice and payment.
