(a)
On the day which is three Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the Working Capital Balance Sheet and the supporting calculation of the Pre Effective Date Calculated Working Capital. Such calculation shall include sufficient detail and supporting documentation so as to permit the Purchaser, acting reasonably, to confirm the accuracy of such calculation.

(b)
The parties agree that the delivery of the calculation of the Pre Effective Date Calculated Working Capital described in Section 2.5(a) shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company to the Purchaser that the calculation of the Pre Effective Date Calculated Working Capital contained therein is true and correct.
 
 
(c)

46


8.6
Indemnification Proceedings - Third party Claim.
 
 
(a)

For the purposes of calculating Damages pursuant to this Article 8:
 
 
(a)
where the Indemnifying party is at any time entitled to recover from an insurer under any insurance policy any sum in respect of any matter giving rise to a claim under this Article 8, the Indemnified party shall make a claim against its insurers in order to enforce such recovery and, in the event that the Indemnified party shall recover any amount from such insurer the Indemnifying party shall be entitled to benefit from any such recovery with respect to any Damages paid by the Indemnifying party;
 
 
(b)
where the Indemnified party is at any time entitled to recover from some other person any sum in respect of any matter giving rise to a claim under this Article 8, the Indemnified party shall take all necessary steps to enforce such recovery and, in the event that the Indemnified party shall recover any amount from such other person, the Indemnifying party shall be entitled to benefit from any such recovery with respect to any Damages paid by the Indemnifying party;
 
 
(c)
any payment made by any party pursuant to this Article 8 shall be treated as an adjustment of the equivalent amount, whether upward or downward, to the Consideration;
 
 
(d)
the Indemnifying party shall not be liable for breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to the extent that the subject of the claim for Damages pursuant to this Article 8 has been or is made good or is otherwise compensated for without cost to the Indemnified party;
 
 
(e)
no claim for Damages pursuant to this Article 8 shall lie against the Indemnifying party under any representation and warranty contained in this Agreement to the extent that the claim for Damages is wholly or partly attributable to any voluntary act, omission, transaction, or arrangement carried out at the request of or with the consent of the Indemnified party prior to the Effective Date;
 
 
(f)
the Indemnified party shall make commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate Damages suffered by it for which it is seeking indemnification under this Article 8; and
 
 
(g)
the Indemnifying party shall not be liable for a Damage in respect of the aggravation of the Damages that the Indemnified party could have avoided.
 
8.10
Sole Remedy and Recourse.
 
 
(a)
The provisions of this Article 8 and any other recourse specifically referred to in this Agreement shall be the sole remedies for the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; provided however, that any party may seek specific performance or similar equitable remedy in court of competent jurisdiction for breaches or inaccuracies which would give rise to such remedies under applicable Law. In addition, and for greater certainty, the provisions of this Article 8 are the sole remedies available for the Purchaser in respect of any claim made after the Effective Date for a breach by the Company of a representation or warranty contained herein.
 
48


 
(b)
In the event that the Purchaser makes any claim for Damages after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of this Article 8, the Purchaser agrees that the Hold Back shall be the sole source of funds available to pay any amounts ultimately determined to be due by any of the Shareholders hereunder and, notwithstanding any other provision hereof except for the proviso to this Section 8.10(b), under no circumstances shall any Shareholder have any obligation to pay any amounts to the Purchaser hereunder in excess of such Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Hold Back; provided that the Purchaser will not be limited in making any claim for Damages to the amount of the Hold Back if the Purchaser demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Court that the Company has made a fraudulent misrepresentation in any of the representations and warranties of the Company set out in Article 3.
 
 
(c)
For greater certainty, subject to Section 8.10(b), after the Hold Back has been distributed to the Shareholders, the Shareholders shall not, under any circumstances, have any further liability to the Purchaser in respect of the Arrangement or the transactions completed in connection therewith.
 
 
(d)
For greater certainty, the Purchaser further agrees and acknowledges that none of the Shareholders shall have any liability to the Purchaser hereunder unless and until the Arrangement becomes effective on the Effective Date.

(“Beanstream”) have entered into an Arrangement Agreement of even date herewith (as such agreement may hereafter be amended or modified from time to time, the “Arrangement Agreement”), pursuant to which LML and Beanstream have agreed, subject to certain conditions, to enter into a Plan of Arrangement (as such plan may hereafter be amended or modified from time to time, the “Plan of Arrangement”), under which the shares of Beanstream (the “Beanstream Shares”) will be acquired by LML for certain consideration, including shares of common stock of LML;
 
B.           The Holder beneficially owns or holds the number of shares in the capital of Beanstream set forth on the signature page of this Agreement;

1.
VOTING OF EQUITY SECURITIES
 
 
(a)
The Holder hereby agrees that, during the period (the “Term”) from the date of this Agreement until the Expiration Date (as defined below), at any meeting of the shareholders of Beanstream, or of any class of shareholders of Beanstream, however called, and in any action by written consent of the shareholders of Beanstream or of any class of shareholders of Beanstream, the Holder shall (or shall cause the holder of record to, if the Holder is the beneficial owner but not the holder of record of the Subject Securities) (i) vote all of the Subject Securities in favour of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Arrangement and any actions required in furtherance of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) vote all of the Subject Securities to oppose any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, agreement, covenant or other obligation of Beanstream under the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, and (iii) vote all of the Subject Securities to oppose any proposed action by Beanstream or any other party the result of which could be reasonably inferred to impede, interfere with, prevent or delay LML from completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement, or to materially change the business, operations, capital or affairs of Beanstream, including, but not limited to: (A) any Opposing Proposal (as defined below); (B) any change in the management or board of directors of Beanstream, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by LML; (C) a sale, lease, transfer, exclusive licence, disposition or joint venture of or relating to any of the assets of Beanstream outside the ordinary course of business, or of any of the assets which are material to its business, whether or not in the ordinary course of business; (D) a reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of Beanstream; or (E) any change in the authorized capital of Beanstream or any amendment of Beanstream’s articles, by-laws or other constating documents. If requested by LML, each Holder will immediately upon presentation execute a written consent resolution to give effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 1(a). Each Holder further agrees that, during the Term, it shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person the effect of which would be inconsistent or contrary to the provisions and agreements contained herein. For purposes of this Agreement, “Opposing Proposal” means (i) any proposal, other than a proposal by LML or any of its subsidiaries, for an arrangement, amalgamation, merger or other business combination involving Beanstream, (ii) any proposal or offer, other than a proposal or offer by LML or any of its subsidiaries, to acquire from Beanstream in any manner, directly or indirectly, including by way of joint venture or exclusive license, an equity interest in Beanstream, any voting securities of Beanstream or a material amount of assets of Beanstream, or (iii) any proposal or offer, other than a proposal or offer by LML or any of its subsidiaries, to acquire from the shareholders of Beanstream by tender offer, takeover bid, exchange offer, purchase agreement or otherwise more than 10% of the outstanding shares of any class of the Beanstream.

Each Holder will, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, complete, execute and deliver to LML a proxy in the form attached hereto as Schedule B with respect to the Subject Securities (the “Proxy”), which, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Proxy, shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law during the Term.
 
 
(c)
Each Holder hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints LML the true and lawful agent, attorney and attorney in fact of the Holder with respect to the Subject Securities, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, being irrevocable) to, at any time during the Term, execute and deliver such additional instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents, and to exercise such other similar rights of the Holder, in respect of the Subject Securities at any annual, special or adjourned meeting of the shareholders, optionholders or warrantholders of Beanstream, or of any class of shareholders of Beanstream, and in any written consent in lieu of any such meeting, as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the terms and intent of this Agreement.
 
 
(d)
Each Holder hereby revokes any and all other authorities, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, attorney, proxy (other than the Proxy contemplated herein) or otherwise, previously conferred or agreed to be conferred by the Holder at any time with respect to the Subject Securities and the matters contemplated above. No subsequent authority, whether as agent, attorney-in-fact, attorney, proxy or otherwise, will be granted with respect to the Subject Securities, in connection with the matters contemplated above, by or on behalf of the Holder during the Term, other than as provided for under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4
INSURANCE
 
4.1
Insurance
 
The Debtor must obtain and maintain, at its own expense, insurance against loss or damage to the Collateral including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, loss by fire (including so-called extended coverage), theft, collision and such other risks of loss as are customarily insured against on this type of Collateral, in an amount not less than the full replacement value thereof, in such form and with such insurers as are reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party. If any such policies of insurance contain a co-insurance clause, the Debtor will either cause any such co-insurance clause to be waived or maintain at all times a sufficient amount of insurance to meet the requirements of any such co-insurance clause so as to prevent the Debtor from becoming a co-insurer under the terms of any such policy. All such policies must name the Secured Party as an additional insured and loss payee thereof, as the Secured Party’s interests may appear, and must provide that the insurer will give the Secured Party at least 10 days written notice of intended cancellation. At the Secured Party’s request, the Debtor must furnish the Secured Party with a copy of any policy of insurance and certificate of insurance or other evidence satisfactory to the Secured Party that such insurance coverage is in effect. The Debtor must give the Secured Party notice of any damage to, or loss of, the Collateral forthwith upon the occurrence of any such damage or loss. Should the Debtor fail to make any payment or perform any other obligation provided in this Section, the Secured Party will have the right, but not the obligation, without notice or demand upon the Debtor and without releasing the Debtor from any obligation hereunder or waiving any rights to enforce this Agreement, to perform any or all of such obligations. The amount of all such payments made and all costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in performing such obligations will be immediately due and payable by the Debtor.

ARTICLE 5
DEALING WITH COLLATERAL
 
5.1
Dealing with Collateral by the Debtor
 
The Debtor must not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, except that the Debtor may, until an Event of Default occurs, deal with its money or sell items of Inventory in the ordinary course of its business so that the purchaser thereof takes title thereto free and clear of the security interest, assignment and mortgage and charge granted hereby, but all proceeds of any such sale will continue to be subject to the security interest, assignment and mortgage and charge granted hereby and all money received by the Debtor will be received as trustee for the Secured Party and must be held separate and apart from other money of the Debtor and must be paid over to the Secured Party upon request.
 
5.2
Rights and Duties of the Secured Party
 
The Secured Party may perform any of its rights and duties hereunder by or through agents and is entitled to retain counsel and to act in reliance upon the advice of such counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder.
 
In the holding of the Collateral, the Secured Party and any nominee on its behalf is only bound to exercise the same degree of care as it would exercise with respect to similar property of its own of similar value held in the same place. The Secured Party and any nominee on its behalf will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care with respect to the custody and preservation of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as the Debtor reasonably requests in writing, but failure of the Secured Party or its nominee to comply with any such request will not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
 
5.3
Registration of Securities
 
The Secured Party may have any Securities registered in its name or in the name of its nominee and will be entitled but not bound or required to exercise any of the rights that any holder of such Securities may at any time have, provided that until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Debtor will be entitled to exercise, in a manner not prejudicial to the interests of the Secured Party or which would violate or be inconsistent with this Agreement, all voting power from time to time exercisable in respect of the Securities. The Secured Party will not be responsible for any loss occasioned by its exercise of any of such rights or by failure to exercise the same within the time limited for the exercise thereof. The Debtor must from time to time forthwith upon the request of the Secured Party deliver to the Secured Party those Securities requested by the Secured Party duly endorsed for transfer to the Secured Party or its nominee to be held by the Secured Party subject to the terms of this Agreement.
 
7


5.4
Notification of Account Debtors
 
Before an Event of Default occurs, the Secured Party may give notice of this Agreement and the security interest and assignment granted hereby to any account debtors of the Debtor or to any other person liable to the Debtor and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, may give notice to any such account debtors or other person to make all further payments to the Secured Party, and any payment or other proceeds of Collateral received by the Debtor from account debtors or from any other person liable to the Debtor whether before or after any notice is given by the Secured Party must be held by the Debtor in trust for the Secured Party and paid over to the Secured Party on request.
 
5.5
Purchase-Money Security Interests
 
The Debtor will be permitted to grant purchase-money security interests in the ordinary course of its business in connection with the purchase or lease of Inventory or Equipment.
 
5.6
Application of Funds
 
Except where the Debtor, when not in default hereunder, so directs in writing at the time of payment, all money collected or received by the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral may be applied on account of such parts of the Obligations as the Secured Party in its sole discretion determines, or may be held unappropriated in a collateral account, or in the discretion of the Secured Party may be released to the Debtor, all without prejudice to the Secured Party’s rights against the Debtor.

the Secured Party may charge on its own behalf and pay to others all reasonable amounts for expenses incurred and for services rendered in connection with the exercise of the rights and remedies of the Secured Party hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable legal, Receiver and accounting fees and expenses, and in every such case the amounts so paid together with all costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including interest thereon at such rate as the Secured Party deems reasonable, will be added to and form part of the Obligations hereby secured; and
 
 
(xi)
the Secured Party may discharge any claim, lien, mortgage, charge, security interest, encumbrance or any rights of others that may exist or be threatened against the Collateral, and in every such case the amounts so paid together with costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection therewith will be added to the Obligations hereby secured.
