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.
