Purchase and Sale of
Securities.
|
a.
|
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of Mangrove and the Bluescape/Cove Key Group may, directly or
indirectly through one or more of their respective Covered Entities, acquire additional Securities; provided, however, that in no event shall Mangrove and its Covered Entities, or the Bluescape/Cove Key Group and their respective Covered Entities, collectively acquire Securities in
excess of the Maximum Investment (as defined below) applicable to such party without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent may be withheld for any or no reason. For the avoidance of doubt, it is in each party’s
sole discretion whether to acquire Securities (directly or indirectly through its Covered Entities) and in what amount (subject to the Maximum Investment).
|
b.
|
Each party shall, after 4:00 PM Eastern time on each business day, provide the other parties with information
regarding any transactions effected in the Securities by such party and its Covered Entities (which information shall include (x) the quantity of Securities acquired or sold and (y) with respect to Derivative Contracts, the number of
Notional Shares).
|
c.
|
For purposes of this Agreement, “Maximum
Investment” shall mean (x) with respect to the Bluescape/Cove Key Group, Securities (including any Securities already beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, by the
Bluescape/Cove Key Group) representing 9.99% of the number of then outstanding Securities of a class of Securities of the Company and (y) with respect to Mangrove, Securities (including any Securities already beneficially owned or over
which control or direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, by Mangrove) representing 9.99% of the number of then outstanding Securities of a class of Securities of the Company. In no event will the Securities beneficially owned or
over which control or direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, by Mangrove and the Bluescape/Cove Key Group total, in aggregate, 20% or more of a class of outstanding Securities of the Company unless it has first been confirmed
that any acquisition that will result in such a level of holdings will not trigger the requirement for the parties to directly or indirectly make a formal take-over bid for such class of Securities under Canadian securities laws or would
be reasonably likely to result in negative consequences for the non-acquiring party under any shareholder rights plan of the Company.
|
d.
|
Mangrove believes that having the Bluescape/Cove Key Group as a co-sponsor of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement provides value to Mangrove. Accordingly, as an inducement for the Bluescape/Cove Key Group to enter into this Agreement, Mangrove agrees that the Bluescape/Cove Key Group is to be reimbursed in an aggregate amount equal to
the product of (A) the total of (x) $40,000,000 divided by (y) the price per share set forth in the Purchase Agreement, multiplied by (B) the total of (x) the price per share set forth in the Purchase Agreement minus
(y) $5.885.
|
e.
|
Promptly after the date hereof, but in any event no later than ten days after the date of this Agreement,
Mangrove shall file, or cause to be filed, a joint statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the parties’ beneficial reporting obligations under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (the “Schedule 13D”). Each party shall cooperate in all respects with each other party in connection with the preparation and filing of the Schedule 13D, including by allowing each party a reasonable
opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of the Schedule 13D.
|
2.
|
Coordinated Activities.
|
a.
|
The following matters shall require the mutual agreement of the parties (which agreement shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (i) the selection and nomination of individuals to serve as directors of the Company; (ii) hiring of professionals in connection with the activities contemplated by and resulting from this
Agreement (including, without limitation, any investment bankers, local counsel, proxy solicitors, public relations firms, social media firms and private investigators), other than any professionals retained by the parties in connection
with the activities contemplated hereby or resulting from this Agreement prior to the date hereof; (iii) making, revising or withdrawing of any proposals to the Company regarding the conduct of its business, corporate governance matters,
corporate transactions or otherwise; (iv) seeking to control, advise, change or influence the management, directors, governing instruments, shareholders, policies or affairs of the Company; (v) the conduct of any proxy contest, proxy
solicitation or similar actions involving the Company and its shareholders, including requisitioning a special meeting of Company shareholders; (vi) the manner, form, content and timing of any communications with the Company, as well as
any public disclosures, public statements or other communications relating to the Company, the Securities, this Agreement or the activities contemplated by this Agreement (provided that, to the extent such disclosure, statement or communication is required by law, regulation or fund documentation applicable to a party, such party may make such required disclosure, statement or
other communication without the agreement of the other parties as long as such party, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable law and regulation, provides prior notice thereof to the other parties); (vii) the admission of
any additional members to the group (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) formed by this Agreement or otherwise, or entering into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, or determining to act in concert with,
any person (other than an affiliate) in connection with the holding, voting or disposition of Securities or the solicitation of proxies from shareholders of the Company; (viii) the conduct and defense of any litigation in furtherance of
the activities contemplated by or resulting from this Agreement; (ix) entering into any confidentiality, extension, settlement, standstill or other similar agreement with the Company; and (x) engaging in any of the foregoing activities,
directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, through or by any Covered Entities, other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 2(a) shall not restrict the parties’ ability to have private
discussions with Company shareholders and research analysts as long as such discussions, to the extent they relate to the Company, are consistent with the actions and communications previously agreed to by the parties.
|
b.
|
No party shall be permitted, nor shall any party allow its Covered Entities, to enter into a confidentiality
agreement or other agreement with any third party that directly or indirectly either (i) restricts the parties’ ability to execute transactions in Securities or (ii) relates to the receipt by such party of material non-public information
with respect to the Company that could restrict such party’s ability to trade in the Securities; provided, however, that, in the event that either Mangrove or the Bluescape/Cove Key Group, directly or indirectly through their respective Covered Entities, receives any material
non-public information with respect to the Company, (A) such party shall immediately notify the other parties of the fact that it has received material non-public information with respect to the Company that could reasonably be expected
to restrict such party’s ability to trade in Securities, and (B) such party shall not share such material non-public information with any other party.
|
c.
|
For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not restrict (i) any party’s purchase or sale of any
non-convertible debt securities of the Company or any derivative instrument with respect thereto or (ii) the sale, pledge or other disposition of any Securities.
|
3.
|

action by written consent with respect to the Company; and (ii) on the Meeting Date, (x) to attend the 2019 Meeting in person or by proxy such that all Common Shares held by such party and its Covered Entities is represented and entitled
to vote on all matters to be voted upon at such meeting, (y) at the 2019 Meeting, to vote such Common Shares in person or by proxy in favor of the persons nominated by the parties or any of their respective Covered Entities to the board
of directors of the Company (the “Company Actions”), in favor of any ancillary or procedural actions or matters related to giving effect to the
Company Actions or required to effect the approval of the Company Actions (but in no event in contravention of any of the Company Actions) and, with respect to any other proposal put forth for a vote of the shareholders at the 2019
Meeting, in accordance with any agreement of the parties prior to the conclusion of the 2019 Meeting, and (z) at the 2019 Meeting, not to vote any such Common Shares other than as provided in the immediately preceding clause (y).
|
b.
|
In the event that, prior to the 2019 Meeting, the Company convenes a special meeting of the shareholders of
the Company for the removal or election of directors or any other proposals, the terms of Section 3(a) shall also apply to the parties, to the
furthest extent possible, with respect to their conduct in connection with voting at such special meeting.
|
c.
|
For purposes of this Section 3, (i) “Meeting Date” shall mean the date of the Company’s 2019 Meeting; and (ii) “2019 Meeting” shall mean the annual meeting of
the shareholders of the Company to be held in calendar year 2019.
|
4.
|
Shared Expenses.
Mangrove and the Bluescape/Cove Key Group shall pay from and after the date of this Agreement, on a 75% and 25% pro rata basis, respectively (the “Sharing
Ratio”), all third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the parties and their respective Covered Entities in furtherance of the actions agreed to be undertaken pursuant to this Agreement that have been approved by the
parties (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in writing (including, for such purposes, through email correspondence) prior to or after their incurrence; provided, however, that (i) Mangrove shall be responsible for and pay all third party
out-of-pocket expenses that pertain only to it and its respective Covered Entities and (ii) the Bluescape/Cove Key Group, shall be responsible for and pay all third party out-of-pocket expenses that pertain only to it and its respective

to the Company). Promptly upon request, Mangrove shall reimburse the Bluescape/Cove Key Group and the Bluescape/Cove Key Group shall reimburse Mangrove, in each case for their respective portion of any such shared expenses incurred or to
be incurred by such other party; provided, however,
that the party seeking reimbursement shall provide the other parties with reasonable documentation evidencing its expenses upon request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party will not be entitled to contribution for any expense or
liability arising out of such party’s or its affiliates’ breach of this Agreement, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Except as otherwise agreed between Bluescape and Cove Key and/or their respective affiliates or pursuant to
the fund documents of Cove Key, no party shall charge the other parties any management, incentive or similar fees in connection with this Agreement or the actions contemplated by or resulting from this Agreement.
