2.7
Dissenting Shareholders
If SuperDate does hold a meeting of shareholders to approve the Amalgamation resolution instead of having the Amalgamation approved by unanimous consent:
(a)
SuperDate Shares which are held by a Dissenting Shareholder shall not be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares pursuant to the Amalgamation. However, if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws such Dissenting Shareholder’s claim under Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCA or forfeits such Dissenting Shareholder’s right to make a claim under Division 2 of Part 8 of the BCA or if his rights as a SuperDate Shareholder are otherwise reinstated, such SuperDate Shareholder’s SuperDate Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares as of the Effective Date as prescribed herein; and,

The Amalgamation shall become effective at the Effective Time on the Effective Date.

2.10
Preparation of Filings
(a)
Skye Life and SuperDate shall cooperate in the taking of all such action as may be required under the BCA, Applicable Canadian Securities Laws and U.S. Securities Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Amalgamation.
(b)
Each of Skye Life and SuperDate shall promptly furnish to the other all information concerning it as may be required for the effectuation of the actions described in Section 2.1 and the provisions of this Section 2.10, and each covenants that no information furnished by it in connection with such actions or otherwise in connection with the consummation of the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will contain any Misrepresentation or any untrue statement of a Material Fact or omit to state a Material Fact required to be stated in any such document or necessary in order to make any information so furnished for use in any such document not misleading in the light of the circumstances in which it is furnished.
2.11
Tax Withholdings
Skye Life and SubCo shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any non-resident holder (“Holder”) of SuperDate Shares who has exercised Dissent Rights such amounts as Skye Life, SubCo or the Transfer Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the ITA, or any provision of federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that Skye Life and/or SubCo are entitled to withhold amounts pursuant to the ITA in respect of Skye Life Shares that are deliverable to Holders who are not resident in Canada for the purposes of the ITA (the “Subject Securities”), such withholdings shall be made “in kind” by delivering or causing to be delivered to an escrow agent, acceptable to Skye Life, the appropriate portion of such
Skye Life and SuperDate Amalgamation Agreement 2020
16
Subject Securities, as determined by Skye Life, acting reasonably, to be held by the escrow agent pending the issuance of certificates to such non-resident Holders pursuant to the ITA, and, with authority of the escrow agent, in the event such certificates are not obtained (which may, if appropriately notified by the Canada Revenue Agency, be after the time specified in the ITA), to sell a sufficient number of such Subject Securities to generate net cash proceeds sufficient to allow Skye Life to remit the required amounts to the Receiver General pursuant to the ITA.
2.12
Skye Life Guarantee
Skye Life hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the due and punctual performance by SubCo of each and every covenant and obligation of SubCo arising under the Amalgamation. Skye Life hereby agrees that SuperDate shall not have to proceed first against SubCo before exercising its rights under this guarantee against Skye Life.
2.13
United States Tax Considerations
The Amalgamation is intended to qualify either (i) as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. The Parties hereto agree to treat the Amalgamation as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for all U.S. federal income tax purposes, and to not take any position on any U.S. tax return or otherwise take any tax reporting position for U.S. federal income tax purposes inconsistent with such treatment, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code that such treatment is not correct. Excluding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Amalgamation, no party hereto currently has any intention, and at Closing will not have any intention to take any action, fail to take any action, cause any action to be taken or cause any action not to be taken that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Amalgamation from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code with respect to SuperDate and the SuperDate Shareholders.
