(b) Make any distributions to any shareholders of the Issuer or to any Affiliates of the Issuer other than as permitted under the Trust Indenture;

 

(c) Enter into any transactions with any Affiliate, other than those in the Ordinary Course of Business or as permitted under the Trust Indenture;

 

(d) Sell or otherwise dispose of any assets of the Issuer, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business or as permitted under the Trust Indenture;

 

(e) Cause or permit to exist any breach of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the MJAR Harvest Note;

11

 

 

(g) Cause or permit the Shares (as defined in the Convertible Notes) to cease to be listed on the Exchange (as defined in the Convertible Notes);

 

(h) Cause or permit voluntary repayment of the Senior Secured Notes unless the Notes are rateably repaid at the same time; or

 

(i) Cause or permit the Buyer to cease to be a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Issuer.

 

Section 6.3 Withholding. The Parties agree that, with respect to any Non-U.S. Lender (as defined below), the Issuer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments made to such Non-U.S. Lender such amounts as required by applicable Laws at the time of such payment, which amounts are currently 30% (or at a lower rate if provided by an applicable tax treaty and the Non-U.S. Lender provides the documentation (generally, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) required to claim benefits under such tax treaty to the Issuer). “Non-U.S. Lender” means any Lender who is not a (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, (iv) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (y) that has in effect a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or (v) a Canadian resident or domiciled entity for tax purposes (provided that a tax treaty exists negating any requirement for such withholding tax deduction). For greater certainty, as of the date of this Agreement, the Lender satisfies the requirement of “(v)” and no withholding tax shall be applicable.

(b) any breach of the terms of Section 6.1(a), (b), or (c) of, and such failure continues for 10 days beyond Issuer’s receipt of written notice from Lender of such failure, provided that if the Issuer fails to provide the notice set out in Section 6.1(i) then no such period shall apply;

 

(c) any breach of the term of part Article VI – Covenants and Additional Agreements or any of the terms of the Convertible Notes, other than those section listed in Section 7.1(b) above, and such failure continues for 5 days;

Article VIII

 

Section 8.1 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, without application of the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

 

Section 8.2 Waiver of Jury Trial; Exemplary Damages.

 

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 8.2(a).

 

(b) Each of the Parties acknowledge that each has been represented in connection with the signing of this waiver by independent legal counsel selected by the respective Party and that such Party has discussed the legal consequences and import of this waiver with legal counsel. Each of the Parties further acknowledge that each has read and understands the meaning of this waiver and grants this waiver knowingly, voluntarily, without duress and only after consideration of the consequences of this waiver with legal counsel.

 

Section 8.3 Indemnification.

 

(a) By the Issuer. The Issuer will indemnify and hold the Lender and its directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents, and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title (each, a “Lender Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation and costs of enforcing this indemnity, that any the Lender Party may suffer or incur as a result of the Lender subscribing for the Convertible Notes or any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Issuer in this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against any Lender Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Lender Party shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing, and the Issuer shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Lender Party. Any Lender Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Lender Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Issuer in writing, (ii) the Issuer has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Issuer and the position of the Lender Party, in which case the Issuer shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Issuer shall not settle or compromise any claim for which a Lender Party seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender Party and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement involves a full and complete release of the applicable Lender Party. The indemnification required by this Section 8.3(a) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, provided, however, that the recipient thereof shall execute a customary undertaking to repay any such amounts in the event that such recipient is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

13

 

 

(b) By The Lender. The Lender, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold the Issuer and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents, and any other persons with a functionally equivalent role of a person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title (each, a “Issuer Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation and costs of enforcing this indemnity, that any such Issuer Party may suffer or incur as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Lender in this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against any Issuer Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Issuer Party shall promptly notify the applicable Lender in writing, and the Lender shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Issuer Party. Any Issuer Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Issuer Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the applicable Lender in writing, (ii) the applicable Lender has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Issuer Party and the position of such applicable Lender, in which case the applicable Lender shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Lender shall not settle or compromise any claim for which a Issuer Party seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of such Issuer Party and such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement involves a full and complete release of the applicable Issuer Party. The indemnification required by this Section 8.3(b) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred, provided, however, that the recipient thereof shall execute a customary undertaking to repay any such amounts in the event that such recipient is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

Section 8.4 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that each Party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the provisions hereof and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the proof of actual damages, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, and agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that (a) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law, or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

 

14

 

 

Section 8.5 Attorneys’ Fees and other Expenses. In the event that any Party institutes any action or suit to enforce this Agreement or to secure relief from any default hereunder or breach hereof, the prevailing Party shall be reimbursed by the losing Party for all costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection therewith and in enforcing or collecting any judgment rendered therein. For greater certainty, and notwithstanding the previous sentence or any other term of this Agreement, the Convertible Note, or the Guaranty and Security Agreement, the Issuer shall at all times fully indemnify the Lender for, and pay to the Lender on demand, all reasonable documented and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Lender from time to time (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) in connection with negotiating and documenting this Agreement, the Convertible Notes and the Guaranty and Security Agreement, any amendments, waivers, or consents associated therewith, any third party expenses incurred in the administration of this Agreement, the Convertible Note, or the Guaranty and Security Agreement from time to time, and any enforcement by the Lender of its rights under this Agreement, the Convertible Notes or the Guaranty and Security Agreement.

 

Section 8.6 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement or the Convertible Notes that is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or thereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority declares that any term or provision hereof or thereof is invalid, void or unenforceable, each of the Issuer and the Lender agrees that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, area or applicability of the term or provision; to delete specific words or phrases; or to replace any invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, void or unenforceable term or provision.

 

Section 8.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Convertible Notes constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, whether written or oral, of the Parties.

 

Section 8.8 Arm’s Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm’s-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the Parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any Party in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

 

Section 8.9 Further Assurances. From time to time, whether at or following a Closing, each Party shall make reasonable commercial efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable, including as required by applicable laws, to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party’s representations, warranties and covenants hereunder shall survive the Closings, and it is the intention of the all of the parties to this Agreement that this Agreement and all covenants contained herein and all rights of the Lender contained herein and in the Convertible Note shall survive until the Lender is indefeasibly repaid in full the obligations owing to it pursuant to the Convertible Notes, the Security and this Agreement.

 

Section 8.10 Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only upon the written consent of the Issuer and the Lender. Any Note may be amended, and the observance of any term thereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only upon the written consent of the Issuer and Lender holding such applicable Note. Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, this Agreement and the Schedule of Lender may be amended after the initial Closing to add Lender participating in subsequent Closings without the consent of any Party hereto other than the Issuer.

 

15

 

 

Section 8.11 Transferability. Neither this Agreement nor the Convertible Notes may be assigned or transferred, directly or indirectly, by any Lender to any Person without the prior written consent of the Issuer. Any purported transfer of the Convertible Notes in violation of this Section 8.11 shall be null and void.
