(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any person after the date hereof and prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by Detour Shareholders that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.1 (it being understood that the Company will not be in breach of this Section 5.1 if the Company or its Representatives contact the person who has made an Acquisition Proposal for the sole purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal), and subject to the Company's compliance with Section 5.1(d), the Company and its Representatives may (i) furnish or provide access to or disclosure of information with respect to it to such person pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, if and only if (x) the Company provides a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to the Purchaser promptly upon its execution and (y)  the Company promptly (and in any event within one day) provides to the Purchaser any non-public information concerning the Company that is provided to such person which was not previously provided to the Purchaser or its Representatives, and (ii) engage in or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that, prior to taking any action described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Detour Board determines in good faith, after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal (disregarding any financing or due diligence or access condition) would, if consummated in accordance with its terms, constitute or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal.


- 92 -

(d) The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours of receipt by the Company) notify the Purchaser, at first orally and thereafter in writing, of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not in writing) received by the Company, any inquiry received by the Company that could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any request received by the Company for non-public information relating to the Company in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company by any person that informs the Company that it is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, including a copy of the Acquisition Proposal, a description of the material terms and conditions of such inquiry or request and the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, and promptly provide to the Purchaser such other information concerning such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request as the Purchaser may reasonably request, including all material or substantive correspondence relating to such Acquisition Proposal.  Thereafter, the Company will keep the Purchaser promptly and fully informed of the status, material developments and details of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, including any material changes, modifications or other amendments thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a), or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal from any person after the date hereof and prior to the Detour Meeting, then, the Detour Board may (1) make a Change of Recommendation or (2) enter into any Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if:

(i) the Company has given written notice to the Purchaser that it has received such Superior Proposal and that the Detour Board has determined that (x) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) the Detour Board intends to (1) make a Change of Recommendation or (2) enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, together with a summary of the material terms of any proposed Acquisition Agreement or other agreement relating to such Superior Proposal (together with a copy of such agreement and any ancillary agreements and supporting materials) to be executed with the person making such Superior Proposal, and, if applicable, a written notice from the Detour Board regarding the value or range of values in financial terms that the Detour Board has, in consultation with financial advisors, determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered in the Superior Proposal;

(ii) a period of five full Business Days (such period being the "Superior Proposal Notice Period") shall have elapsed from the later of the date the Purchaser received the notice from the Company referred to in Section 5.1(e)(i) and, if applicable, the notice from the Detour Board with respect to any non-cash consideration as contemplated in Section 5.1(e)(i), and the date on which the Purchaser received the summary of material terms and copies of agreements and supporting materials set out in Section 5.1(e)(i);

(v) in the case of the Company exercising its rights under clause (2) of this Section 5.1(e), prior to or concurrently with entering into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (A) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(ii) [Superior Proposal] and (B) pays the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 5.3.

(f) The Company acknowledges and agrees that during the Superior Proposal Notice Period or such longer period as the Company may approve for such purpose, the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in accordance with this Section 5.1(f). The Detour Board will review in good faith any offer made by the Purchaser to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine, in consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel, whether the proposed amendments would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal that previously constituted a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the Detour Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal as a result of the amendments proposed by the Purchaser, the Company will forthwith so advise the Purchaser and the Parties will amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement to reflect such offer made by the Purchaser, and the Parties agree to take such actions and execute such documents as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing. 

(g) Each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of Section 5.1(e) and shall require a new five full Business Day Superior Proposal Notice Period from the date described in Section 5.1(e)(ii) with respect to such new Acquisition Proposal. In circumstances where the Company provides the Purchaser with notice of a Superior Proposal and all documentation contemplated by Section 5.1(e)(i) on a date that is less than 10 Business Days prior to the Detour Meeting, the Company may, and upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company shall adjourn or postpone the Detour Meeting in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to a date that is not more than 10 days after the scheduled date of such Detour Meeting, provided, however, that the Detour Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date later than the tenth Business Day prior to the Outside Date.


- 94 -

(h) The Detour Board shall reaffirm the Detour Board Recommendation by news release promptly after (i) the Detour Board has determined that any Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal if the Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced or made; or (ii) the Detour Board makes the determination referred to in Section 5.1(f) that an Acquisition Proposal that has been publicly announced or made and which previously constituted a Superior Proposal has ceased to be a Superior Proposal, and the Parties have so amended the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement. The Purchaser and its outside legal counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such news release and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to all amendments to such press release requested by the Purchaser and its outside legal counsel.

(i) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Detour Board from: (i) responding through a directors' circular or equivalent document as required by applicable Securities Laws to an Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) making any disclosure to the securityholders of the Company if the Detour Board, acting in good faith and after consultation with outside legal counsel, shall have first determined that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Detour Board or such other disclosure that is otherwise required under applicable Law.

(j) The Company represents and warrants that, in the six months prior to the date of this Agreement, it has not, other than as disclosed in Section 5.1(j) of the Detour Disclosure Letter, waived or amended any confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure or similar agreements, restrictions or covenants to which it or its subsidiary is party. The Company agrees (i) not to, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, release any persons from, or terminate, modify, amend or waive the terms of, any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement or standstill provisions in any such confidentiality agreement that the Company entered into prior to the date hereof, (ii) to promptly and diligently enforce all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it has entered into prior to the date hereof or enter into after the date hereof, provided, however, in each case that the Parties acknowledge and agree that the automatic termination or release of any such agreement, restriction or covenant in accordance with their terms shall not be a violation of this Section 5.1(j). 

(k) Without limiting the generally of the foregoing, the Company shall ensure that its subsidiary and Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 5.1, and the Company shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.1 by any of its subsidiary or Representatives.

(i) Each Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Section  5.3 are payments in consideration for the disposition of the rights of the Party entitled to receive such payment under this Agreement and represent liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which the Party entitled to receive such payment will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties.  Each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive.  For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the payment of an amount pursuant to this Section  5.3 in the manner provided herein is the sole and exclusive remedy of the Party entitled to receive such payment in respect of the event giving rise to such payment, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section  5.3, and no payment of any such amount, shall relieve or have the effect of relieving a Party in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by the other Party as a result of an intentional or wilful breach of this Agreement, including the intentional or wilful making of a misrepresentation in this Agreement and nothing contained in this Section  5.3 shall preclude a Party from seeking injunctive relief in accordance with Section 8.14 to restrain the breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such acts, covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting a bond or security in connection therewith.

Subject to Section 5.3(i), the Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law.  It is accordingly agreed that the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief hereby being waived, this being in addition to any other remedy to which a Party may be entitled at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 3
ARRANGEMENT

3.1 The Arrangement

Commencing and effective as at the Effective Time, each of the events set out below shall occur and shall be deemed to occur sequentially in the following order without any further act or formality required on the part of any person, except as otherwise expressly provided herein:

(a) each Dissent Share shall be and shall be deemed to be transferred by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, to the Company (free and clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever) and cancelled and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therefor determined and payable in accordance with Article 5, and: 

(i) such Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to be, and shall be deemed to cease to be, the holder of such Dissent Share and to have any rights as a Detour Shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value by the Company for such Dissent Share as set out in Section 5.1; and

(ii) such Dissenting Shareholder's names shall be, and shall be deemed to be, removed from the register of Detour Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company;

(b) each Detour Share (excluding (i) any Dissent Share or (ii) any Detour Share held by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates) shall be and shall be deemed to be transferred and assigned by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality on its part, to the Purchaser (free and clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever), in exchange for the Share Consideration less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.5, and:

(i) each holder of such Detour Shares shall cease to be, and shall be deemed to cease to be, the holder thereof and to have any rights as a Detour Shareholder other than the right to be paid the Share Consideration per Detour Share in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement;

(ii) the name of each such holder shall be, and shall be deemed to be, removed from the register of Detour Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company; and


(iii) the Purchaser shall be deemed to be the transferee of such Detour Shares (free and clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever) and the register of Detour Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company shall be, and shall be deemed to be, revised accordingly.

(c) each Detour RSU, whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to be vested to the fullest extent, and such Detour RSU shall be deemed to be assigned and transferred to the Company and cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average trading price of one Detour Share on the TSX during the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the Effective Date less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.5;

(d) each Detour PSU, whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to be vested to the fullest extent, and such Detour PSU shall be deemed to be assigned and transferred to the Company and cancelled in exchange for a cash payment equal to the volume weighted average trading price of one Detour Share on the TSX during the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the Effective Date, multiplied by two (other than Detour PSUs granted after the date hereof, which will be multiplied by one) less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.5; and

(e) each outstanding Detour Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed to be vested to the fullest extent, will cease to represent an option or other right to acquire Detour Shares and shall be exchanged at the Effective Time for an option (a "Replacement Option") to purchase from the Purchaser the number of Purchaser Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to: (A) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (B) the number of Detour Shares subject to such Detour Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, at an exercise price per Purchaser Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (M) the exercise price per Detour Share otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Detour Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (N) the Exchange Ratio, exercisable until the earlier of (Y) the date that is one year following the Effective Date and (Z) the original expiry date of such Detour Option. Except as set out above, all other terms and conditions of such Replacement Option, including the conditions to and manner of exercising, will be the same as the Detour Option so exchanged, and shall be governed by the terms of the Detour Option Plan, and any document evidencing a Detour Option shall thereafter evidence and be deemed to evidence such Replacement Option. It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to any such exchange. Therefore, in the event that the Replacement Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of a Replacement Option exceeds the Detour Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Detour Option, the number of Purchaser Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the Replacement Option at and after the Effective Time will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the Replacement Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Replacement Option does not exceed the Detour Option In-The-Money Amount in respect of the Detour Option.


The exchanges and cancellations provided for in this Section 3.1 will be deemed to occur on the Effective Date, notwithstanding that certain of the procedures related thereto are not completed until after the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 4
CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENTS

4.1 Payment and Delivery of Share Consideration

(a) Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to filing of the Articles of Arrangement, the Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Depositary, for the benefit of applicable holders of Detour Shares, sufficient Purchaser Shares to satisfy the aggregate Share Consideration payable to the Detour Shareholders in accordance with Section 3.1, as well as cash in lieu of fractional Purchaser Shares, if any, pursuant to Section 4.3, which Purchaser Shares shall be held by the Depositary as agent and nominee for such Former Detour Shareholders for distribution to such Former Detour Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of this Article 4.   

(b) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Detour Shares, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and any such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Detour Shareholders represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Former Detour Shareholder, the Share Consideration that such Former Detour Shareholder has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such Detour Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.5, and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c) Until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by Section 4.1(b), each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more Detour Shares (other than Dissent Shares or Detour Shares held by the Purchaser or any of its affiliates) shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the Share Consideration that the holder of such certificate is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.5.

4.2 Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Detour Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(b) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, cash (in lieu of fractional Purchaser Shares) or the Share Consideration deliverable in accordance with such holder's duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment or delivery in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom such cash (in lieu of fractional Purchaser Shares) or Share Consideration is to be delivered shall as a condition precedent to the delivery of such cash (in lieu of fractional Purchaser Shares) or Share Consideration, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such sum as the Purchaser may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser and the Company in a manner satisfactory the Purchaser and the Company, each acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.


4.3 No Fractional Purchaser Shares

 In no event shall any holder of Detour Shares be entitled to a fractional Purchaser Share.  Where the aggregate number of Purchaser Shares to be issued to a Detour Shareholder as Share Consideration under the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Purchaser Share being issuable, the number of Purchaser Shares to be received by such Detour Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Purchaser Share. In lieu of any such fractional Purchaser Share, the Purchaser will pay to each such holder a cash payment (rounded down to the nearest cent) determined by reference to the volume weighted average trading price of one Purchaser Share on the TSX during the five trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the Effective Date.

4.4 Post-Effective Time Dividends and Distributions

All dividends and distributions made after the Effective Time with respect to any Purchaser Shares allotted and issued pursuant to this Arrangement but for which a certificate has not been issued shall be paid or delivered to the Depositary to be held by the Depositary in trust for the holder of such Purchaser Shares.  All monies received by the Depositary shall be invested by it in interest-bearing trust accounts upon such terms as the Depositary may reasonably deem appropriate.  Subject to this Section 4.4, the Depositary shall pay and deliver to any such holder, as soon as reasonably practicable after application therefor is made by such holder to the Depositary in such form as the Depositary may reasonably require, such dividends and distributions and any interest thereon to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Arrangement, net of any applicable withholding and other taxes.

4.5 Withholding Rights

(d) The Company, the Purchaser and the Depositary, as applicable, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable or deliverable to any person under this Plan of Arrangement (including, without limitation, any payments to Dissenting Shareholders), such amounts as the Company, the Purchaser or the Depositary, as applicable, is required to deduct and withhold, or reasonably believe to be required to deduct and withhold, with respect to such payment or delivery under any provision of any Laws in respect of Taxes.  For the purposes hereof, all such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made on account of the obligation to make payment to such person hereunder, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority by or on behalf of the Company, the Purchaser or the Depositary, as applicable.


(e) Each of the Company, the Purchaser and the Depositary is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of Purchaser Shares payable as Share Consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Company, the Purchaser or the Depositary, as applicable, to enable it to implement such deduction or withholding, and the Company, the Purchaser or the Depositary will notify the holder thereof and remit to the holder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale. 

4.6 Extinction of Rights

If any Former Detour Shareholder fails to deliver to the Depositary the certificates, documents or instruments required to be delivered to the Depositary under Section 4.1 or Section 4.2 in order for such Former Detour Shareholder to receive the Share Consideration which such former holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date: (a) such former holder will be deemed to have donated and forfeited to the Purchaser or its successor any Share Consideration held by the Depositary in trust for such former holder to which such former holder is entitled and (b) any certificate representing Detour Shares formerly held by such former holder will cease to represent a claim of any nature whatsoever and will be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser and will be cancelled.  Neither the Company nor the Purchaser, or any of their respective successors, will be liable to any person in respect of any Share Consideration (including any consideration previously held by the Depositary in trust for any such former holder) which is forfeited to the Company or the Purchaser or delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

4.7 No Liens

Any exchange or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind.

4.8 Paramountcy

From and after the Effective Time: (a) this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all Detour Shares, Detour Options, Detour RSUs and Detour PSUs issued prior to the Effective Time; (b) the rights and obligations of the holders of Detour Shares (other than the Purchaser or any of its affiliates), Detour Options, Detour RSUs and Detour PSUs, the Company, the Purchaser, the Depositary and any transfer agent or other depositary therefor in relation thereto, shall be solely as provided for in this Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement Agreement; and (c) all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to any Detour Shares, Detour Options, Detour RSUs or Detour PSUs shall be deemed to have been settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth in this Plan of Arrangement.

(ii) are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid by the Company the fair value for their Dissent Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement in respect of those Detour Shares on the same basis as a non-dissenting Detour Shareholder and shall be entitled to receive only the Share Consideration from the Purchaser in the same manner as such non-dissenting Detour Shareholders.

(g) In no event shall the Purchaser or the Company or any other person be required to recognize a Dissenting Shareholder as a registered or beneficial owner of Detour Shares or any interest therein (other than the rights set out in this Section 5.1) at or after the Effective Time, and as at the Effective Time the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the central securities register of the Company.

(l) Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be made by the Purchaser and the Company without the approval of or communication to the Court or the Detour Shareholders and holders of Detour Options, Detour RSUs and Detour PSUs, provided that it concerns a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of the Purchaser and the Company is of an administrative or ministerial nature required to better give effect to the implementation of this Plan of Arrangement and is not adverse to the financial or economic interests of any of the Detour Shareholders and holders of Detour Options, Detour RSUs and Detour PSUs.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company and the Purchaser each agree that the Plan of Arrangement will be carried out with the intention that, and they will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that, all: (a) Consideration Shares issued under the Arrangement will be issued by the Purchaser in exchange for Detour Shares; and (b) Replacement Options to be issued to holders of Detour Options in exchange for Detour Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement, whether in the United States, Canada or any other country, in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, as provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof and applicable state securities laws, and pursuant to the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in the Arrangement Agreement.

Therefore, the Purchaser Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Replacement Options, if any, will be "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, and may be issued only pursuant to an effective registration statement or a then available exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, if any.
