Certificates and Payments (a) Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Time, West Fraser shall deliver or arrange to be delivered to the Depositary the Consideration.
(b) Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Qualifying Holdco Shares or Norbord Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(e) or 3.1(f), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the Qualifying Holdco Shareholder or the Shareholder represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Qualifying Holdco Shareholder or Shareholder, the Holdco Share Consideration or the Consideration, as applicable, which such Shareholder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Qualifying Holdco Shares or Norbord Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.1(g), and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.
(c) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 5.1, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Qualifying Holdco Shares or Norbord Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(e) and Section 3.1(f), respectively, shall be deemed after the Effective Time of Section 3.1(e) and Section 3.1(f), respectively, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Holdco Share Consideration or the Consideration (as applicable) to which the holder is entitled to receive in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in this Section 5.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.1(g). Any such certificate formerly representing Norbord Shares or Qualifying Holdco Shares not duly surrendered on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder of Norbord Shares or Qualifying Holdco Shares of any kind or nature against or in Norbord or West Fraser. On such date, all Consideration or Holdco Share Consideration to which such former holder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered and forfeited to West Fraser or Norbord, as applicable.
(d) Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary pursuant to the 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 sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of any Shareholder to receive the Consideration for Norbord Shares or of any Qualifying Holdco Shareholder to receive the Holdco Share Consideration pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to West Fraser or Norbord, as applicable.
(e) In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Norbord Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(f) 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, the Consideration deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such cash is to be delivered shall as a condition precedent to the delivery of such cash, give a bond satisfactory to West Fraser and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as West Fraser may direct, or otherwise indemnify West Fraser and Norbord in a manner satisfactory to West Fraser and Norbord, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against West Fraser and Norbord with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(f) On the Effective Date, Norbord shall deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, to each holder of Incentive Securities, as reflected on the register maintained by or on behalf of Norbord in respect of such Incentive Securities, a cheque representing the cash payment, if any, which such holder of Incentive Securities has the right to receive under this Plan of Arrangement for such Incentive Security, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.1(h) hereof.
(g) West Fraser, Norbord and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable or deliverable to any Person under the Plan of Arrangement and from all dividends or other distributions or other consideration or payments otherwise payable or deliverable to any former securityholders of Norbord, such amounts as West Fraser, Norbord or the Depositary, as applicable, determines are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment or delivery under the Tax Act or any provision of any other Law in respect of Taxes, or to meet any related remittance requirement (collectively, a “Withholding Obligation”). To the extent that amounts are so withheld, deducted and remitted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.
(h) Any exchange or transfer of Norbord Shares and Qualifying Holdco Shares pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third parties of any kind.
Delivery of Share Certificates for Escrow Securities The Escrow Agent will send to each Securityholder any share certificates or other evidence of that Securityholder’s escrow securities in the possession of the Escrow Agent released from escrow as soon as reasonably practicable after the release.
Legended Share Certificates Exchangeco will cause each certificate representing Exchangeable Shares to bear an appropriate legend notifying the Beneficiaries of their right to instruct the Trustee with respect to the exercise of the Voting Rights in respect of the Exchangeable Shares of the Beneficiaries.
Share Certificates In lieu of issuing certificates for shares, the Trustees or the transfer agent either may issue receipts therefor or may keep accounts upon the books of the Trust for the record holders of such shares, who shall in either case, for all purposes hereunder, be deemed to be the holders of certificates for such shares as if they had accepted such certificates and shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms hereof. The Trustees at any time may authorize the issuance of share certificates. In that event, each shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate stating the number of shares owned by him or her, in such form as shall be prescribed from time to time by the Trustees. Such certificate shall be signed by the President or Vice President and by the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer. Such signatures may be facsimile if the certificate is signed by a transfer agent, or by a registrar, other than a Trustee, officer or employee of the Trust. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall cease to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Trust with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the time of its issue.
Legend on Share Certificates Each certificate representing any Shares issued after the date hereof shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows: “THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A AMENDED AND RESTATED VOTING AGREEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY), AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT VOTING AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP SET FORTH THEREIN.” The Company, by its execution of this Agreement, agrees that it will cause the certificates evidencing the Shares issued after the date hereof to bear the legend required by this Section 7.12, and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The parties to this Agreement do hereby agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 7.12 and/or the failure of the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.
Delivery of Share Certificates Within a reasonable time after the exercise of the Option the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Optionee, his or her legal representative or his or her beneficiary, a certificate for the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option.
Register of Shares and Share Certificates A register shall be kept at the principal office of the Trust or an office of one or more transfer agents which shall contain the names and addresses of the Shareholders of each Series and Class, the number of Shares of that Series and Class thereof held by them respectively and a record of all transfers thereof. As to Shares for which no certificate has been issued, such register shall be conclusive as to who are the holders of the Shares and who shall be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions or otherwise to exercise or enjoy the rights of Shareholders. No Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, nor to have notice given to him as herein or in the By-laws provided, until he has given his address to the transfer agent or such other officer or agent of the Trust as shall keep the said register for entry thereon. The Trustees shall have no obligation to, but in their discretion may, authorize the issuance of share certificates and promulgate appropriate rules and regulations as to their use. If one or more share certificates are issued, whether in the name of a Shareholder or a nominee, such certificate or certificates shall constitute evidence of ownership of the Shares evidenced thereby for all purposes, including transfer, assignment or sale of such Shares, subject to such limitations as the Trustees may, in their discretion, prescribe.
Issuance of Share Certificates Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8, upon receipt by the Company prior to expiration of the Option of a duly completed Notice of Exercise of Option accompanied by payment for the Shares being purchased pursuant to such Notice (and, with respect to any Option exercised pursuant to Section 9 hereof by someone other than the Optionee, accompanied in addition by proof satisfactory to the Committee of the right of such person to exercise the Option), the Company shall deliver to the Optionee, within thirty (30) days of such receipt, a certificate for the number of Shares so purchased. The Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares which are subject to the Option unless and until a certificate representing such Shares is issued to the Optionee. The Company shall not be required to issue any certificates for Shares upon the exercise of the Option prior to (i) obtaining any Consents which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, or (ii) the determination by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that no Consents need be obtained.
Distributions to Shareholders (a) The Trustees shall from time to time distribute ratably among the Shareholders of any class of Shares, or any series of any such class, in accordance with the number of outstanding full and fractional Shares of such class or any series of such class, such proportion of the net profits, surplus (including paid-in surplus), capital, or assets held by the Trustees as they may deem proper or as may otherwise be determined in accordance with this Declaration. Any such distribution may be made in cash or property (including without limitation any type of obligations of the Trust or any assets thereof) or Shares of any class or series or any combination thereof, and the Trustees may distribute ratably among the Shareholders of any class of shares or series of any such class, in accordance with the number of outstanding full and fractional Shares of such class or any series of such class, additional Shares of any class or series in such manner, at such times, and on such terms as the Trustees may deem proper or as may otherwise be determined in accordance with this Declaration.
(b) Distributions pursuant to this Section 9.2 may be among the Shareholders of record of the applicable class or series of Shares at the time of declaring a distribution or among the Shareholders of record at such later date as the Trustees shall determine and specify.
(c) The Trustees may always retain from the net profits such amount as they may deem necessary to pay the debts or expenses of the Trust or to meet obligations of the Trust, or as they otherwise may deem desirable to use in the conduct of its affairs or to retain for future requirements or extensions of the business.
(d) Inasmuch as the computation of net income and gains for Federal income tax purposes may vary from the computation thereof on the books, the above provisions shall be interpreted to give the Trustees the power in their discretion to distribute for any fiscal year as ordinary dividends and as capital gains distributions, respectively, additional amounts sufficient to enable the Trust to avoid or reduce liability for taxes.
