Agreement to Tender 4.1 The Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that if the Offeror makes the Offer in compliance with Article 2 and the Acquisition Agreement, the Shareholder shall, within 14 days of the mailing of the Offer Circular, irrevocably deposit or cause to be irrevocably deposited with the depositary under the Offer in acceptance of the Offer all of the Deposited Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and thereafter the Shareholder shall not withdraw or take any action to withdraw any of the Deposited Shares deposited under the Offer (notwithstanding any statutory rights, rights under the terms of the Offer or rights which the Shareholder might otherwise have) except upon the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Subject to this Section 4.1, for greater certainty, in respect of Company Shares that are to be issued upon the exercise of Options, the Shareholder shall, within 14 days of the mailing of the Offer Circular, irrevocably direct the depositary under the Offer that, upon the issue of such Company Shares immediately before the Expiry Time of the Offer, such Company Shares are to be deposited to the Offer and it is understood and agreed that, upon such direction, such Company Shares will be treated as having been deposited in accordance with this Agreement.
4.2 For greater certainty, for the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Company Shares" shall include all the common shares, including all the common shares issued under outstanding Options, of the Company and shall include all shares or other securities into or for which the Company Shares may be converted, exchanged or otherwise changed pursuant to any reorganization, merger, amalgamation or other transaction involving the Company prior to the acquisition of the Deposited Shares by the Offeror under the Offer.
4.3 If (i) the Offeror concludes after the date of this Agreement that it is necessary or desirable to proceed with a form of transaction other than the Offer (such as a plan of arrangement or amalgamation) whereby the Offeror and/or its affiliates would effectively acquire all the Company Shares on economic and other terms and conditions (including, without limitation, tax treatment) having consequences to the Shareholder that are equivalent to or better than those contemplated by this Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement (any such transaction is referred to as an "Alternative Transaction"), and (ii) the Board recommends that Shareholders approve or support the Alternative Transaction, then the Shareholder agrees to support the completion of the Alternative Transaction in the same manner as the Offer, including, if necessary, by voting the Deposited Shares in favour of a special resolution approving the Alternative Transaction.
