(d)                                 Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Time, shall be returned by the Depositary to AcquisitionCo.

(e)                                  No former holder of Interests shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such Interests other than the consideration to which such former holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1, this Section 4.1 and, as applicable, Section 5.1 and, for greater certainty, no such holder shall be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment thereon or in connection therewith.

 

4.2                               Lost Certificates

 

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Common Shares or Preferred Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(f) or Section 3.1(g) of this Plan of Arrangement 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, AcquisitionCo or the Depositary, as applicable, will issue and deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the consideration to which the holder is entitled pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement. When authorizing such issuance and delivery in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom such consideration is to be issued and delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such consideration, give a bond satisfactory to AcquisitionCo (acting reasonably) in such sum as AcquisitionCo may direct, or otherwise indemnify AcquisitionCo in a manner satisfactory to AcquisitionCo, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against AcquisitionCo with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

 

4.3                               Withholding Rights

 

The Company, AcquisitionCo and the Depositary, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Company Shareholder or Incentive Holder under this Plan of Arrangement (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof), such amounts as the Company, AcquisitionCo or the Depositary, as applicable, determines, acting reasonably, are required to be deducted and withheld from such consideration in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada), R.S.C. 1985, c.1 (5th Supp.), the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any provision of any other applicable law.

ARTICLE 5

DISSENT RIGHTS

 

5.1                               Dissent Rights

(a)                                 are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their Common Shares or their Preferred Shares, as applicable, shall (i) be deemed not to have participated in the transactions in Section 3.1 hereof, other than Section 3.1(d) and Section 3.1(e), as applicable, (ii) be paid an amount equal to such fair value by AcquisitionCo, (iii) not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such registered Company Shareholders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Common Shares or Preferred Shares, and (iv) be deemed to have transferred their Dissenting Shares to AcquisitionCo in accordance with Section 3.1(e) and Section 3.1(d) hereof, as applicable, notwithstanding the provisions of section 190 of the CBCA; or

provided, however, that no registered Preferred Shareholder who has exercised its Dissent Rights shall be entitled to be paid the fair value for its Preferred Shares if the Preferred Share Acquisition Condition is not satisfied; and provided further that in no case shall the Company, either Purchaser Party or any other person be required after the Effective Time to recognize any Company Shareholder who exercises Dissent Rights as a holder of Common Shares or, if the Preferred Share Acquisition Condition is satisfied, Preferred Shares, as the case may be, and the names of such Company Shareholders who exercise Dissent Rights shall be removed from the registers of Common Shares and Preferred Shares, as applicable, maintained by or on behalf of the Company, as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding section 190 of the CBCA, AcquisitionCo, and not the Company, shall be required to pay the amount described in subsection 190(3) of the CBCA (as modified by the Interim Order) to a registered Company Shareholder who duly and validly exercises Dissent Rights and is ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for the Common Shares or Preferred Shares, as applicable, provided that if AcquisitionCo fails to pay such amount, then the Company shall be required to do so.
