2.11 Withholdings

The Purchaser, the Company and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable under this Agreement or any amount or consideration payable to any former Company Shareholder or former Incentive Award Holder under the Plan of Arrangement, including from any amount payable to any Dissenting Shareholder or any dividend or other distribution payable pursuant to Section 5.5 of the Plan of Arrangement, as the case may be, such amounts as the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary is required to deduct and withhold in accordance with the Tax Act, the U.S. Tax Code or any other provision of any applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that withholdings under section 116 of the Tax Act should not apply to any Company Shares or Incentive Awards that are not taxable Canadian property or are excluded property for the purposes of the Tax Act). Any such amounts will be deducted and withheld from the amount payable pursuant to this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement and shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. The Purchaser, the Company and the Depositary are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the Consideration Shares otherwise issuable to the holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary shall notify the holder thereof and remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate taxing authority and shall remit to such holder any unapplied balance of the proceeds of such sale (after deducting applicable sale commissions and any other reasonable expenses relating thereto). To the extent that Consideration Shares are so sold or disposed of, such withheld amounts, or such shares so sold or disposed of, shall be treated for all purposes as having been issued to the holder in respect of which such sale or disposition was made, provided that such net proceeds of such sale or disposition, as the case may be, are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. The Purchaser, the Company and the Depositary shall not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price for any of the Consideration Shares sold or disposed of by it, nor shall the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary be liable for any loss arising out of any such sale or disposition.

(A) has entered into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with such Person that contains a customary standstill provision and that is otherwise on terms that are no less favourable to the Company than those found in the Confidentiality Agreement, and any such copies, access or disclosure provided to such Person shall have been or shall be promptly provided to the Purchaser; and

(B) has provided the Purchaser with a true, complete and final executed copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement referred to in Section 5.3(b)(v)(A).

5.4 Right to Match

(a) If the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution, the Company Board may authorize the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal or may make a Company Change in Recommendation, if and only if:

(i) the Person making the Superior Proposal was not restricted from making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality standstill, non-disclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement, restriction or covenant contained in any Contract entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(ii) the Company has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under this Article 5;

(iii) the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a written notice of the determination of the Company Board that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal or make a Company Change in Recommendation, including a notice as to the value in financial terms that the Company Board has, in consultation with its financial advisors, determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under the Superior Proposal (a "Superior Proposal Notice");

(iv) the Company or its Representatives have provided to the Purchaser a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal and all supporting materials (including any financing documents, subject to customary confidentiality provisions with respect to fee letters or similar information) provided to the Company in connection therewith;

(v) at least five full Business Days (the "Matching Period") have elapsed from the date that is the later of the date on which the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which the Purchaser received a copy from the Company of the definitive agreement and all of the materials referred to in Section 5.4(a)(iv);

(vi) during any Matching Period, the Purchaser has had the opportunity (but not the obligation), in accordance with Section 5.4(b), to offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal;

(vii) after the Matching Period, the Company Board:

(A) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal compared to the terms of the Arrangement (and, if applicable, as proposed to be amended by the Purchaser under Section 5.4(b)); and

(B) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure by the Company Board to recommend that the Company enter into a definitive agreement or to make a Company Change in Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the Company Board's fiduciary duties.

(b) During the Matching Period, or such longer period as the Company may approve in its sole discretion and in writing for such purpose:

(i) the Purchaser shall have the opportunity (but not the obligation) to offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement;

(ii) the Company Board shall, in good faith and in consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, review any offer made by the Purchaser to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously determined to constitute a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and

(iii) the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with the Purchaser to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the Purchaser to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms.

If, as a consequence of the foregoing, the Company Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall promptly so advise the Purchaser and the Company and the Purchaser shall amend this Agreement to reflect such offer made by the Purchaser and shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

(c) Each successive amendment or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Company Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 5.4, and to the extent such new Acquisition Proposal is determined to be a Superior Proposal, the Purchaser shall be afforded a new Matching Period from the later of the date on which the Purchaser received a new Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which the Purchaser received from the Company a copy of the definitive agreement and all of the materials referred to in Section 5.4(a)(iv) with respect to each such new Superior Proposal.

(d) The Company Board shall promptly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation by way of a press release issued by the Company after:

(i) any Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined not to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced; or

(ii) the Company Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement as contemplated under Section 5.4(b) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal.

The Company shall provide the Purchaser and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall give reasonable consideration to any amendments to such press release requested by the Purchaser or its outside legal counsel.

(e) If the Company provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the Purchaser after a date that is less than ten Business Days before the Company Meeting, the Company shall be entitled to, and shall upon request from the Purchaser, postpone the Company Meeting to a date that is not more than ten Business Days after the scheduled date of the Company Meeting, but in any event to a date that is not less than five Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

5.5 Permitted Disclosure

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article 5, nothing shall prohibit the Company Board from making any disclosure prior to the Effective Time prescribed by applicable Securities Laws in response to an Acquisition Proposal (including by responding to an Acquisition Proposal under a directors' circular under applicable Securities Laws); provided that, the Company shall provide the Purchaser and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of such disclosure and shall give reasonable consideration to any comments made by the Purchaser and its outside legal counsel.

5.6 Breach by Subsidiaries and Representatives

Without limiting the generality of this Article 5, (a) the Company shall advise its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives of the prohibitions set out in this Article 5, and (b) any violation of the obligations or restrictions set forth in this Article 5 by the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach thereof by the Company.

(e) The Purchaser acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements the Company would not enter into this Agreement, and that the amounts set out in this Section 8.2 represent liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, including opportunity costs and out-of-pocket expenses, which the Company will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of this Agreement, and are not a penalty. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. The Company agrees that the payment of an amount pursuant to this Section 8.2, in the manner provided in this Section 8.2, will be in consideration for the disposition of the Company's rights under this Agreement, is the sole remedy of the Company in respect of the event giving rise to such payment; provided that this limitation shall not (i) apply in the event of fraud or wilful or intentional breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser, and (ii) prior to any termination of this Agreement, preclude the Company from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach by the Purchaser of its covenants in this Agreement, or otherwise obtain specific performance of any of such covenants in accordance with Section 9.4.

The Purchaser, the Company and the Depositary shall not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price for any of the Consideration Shares sold or disposed of by it, nor shall the Purchaser, the Company or the Depositary be liable for any loss arising out of any such sale or disposition.
