Exhibit 99.2
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER — CAUTIONARY NOTE FOR READERS
The attached Agreement and Plan of Merger has been filed with certain securities regulatory authorities in Canada pursuant to National Instrument 51-102 — Continuous Disclosure Obligations, which requires Westport Innovations Inc. (the “Corporation”) to file certain material contracts to which it (or any subsidiary) is a party. Unlike certain other documents filed on behalf of the Corporation, the attached Agreement and Plan of Merger has not been prepared as a disclosure document and was not drafted with the intention of providing factual information about the Corporation (or any affiliate) for the benefit of investors. The attached Agreement and Plan of Merger contains representations and warranties made by the Corporation and certain of its affiliates to various counterparties for risk allocation purposes, and solely for benefit of those counterparties. National Instrument 51-102 allows reporting issuers to omit certain provisions of material contracts and readers are cautioned that statements made by the Corporation (and its affiliates) in the attached Agreement and Plan of Merger and the related Schedules and Disclosure Letters may be qualified (in whole or in part) by information redacted from the attached copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and such related Schedules and Disclosure Letters, which information is not otherwise available to the public.
Specifically, information regarding the organization of the Fuel Systems Automotive and Industrial Group Business Unit and certain disclosures from the referenced Disclosure Letters have been redacted from this filing for confidentiality reasons and as such disclosure may be prejudicial to the Corporation. Moreover, information concerning the Corporation or its affiliates or the subject matter of statements made in the attached Agreement and Plan of Merger concerning the Corporation or certain affiliates may change after the date of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, and subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Corporation’s public disclosures. Accordingly, investors should not rely on statements in the attached Agreement and Plan of Merger concerning the Corporation (or any of its affiliates) as accurate statements of fact.

All shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Certificate”) or book-entry share registered in the transfer books of the Company (a “Book-Entry Share”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration, in accordance with Section 3.3, including the right, if any, to receive, pursuant to Section 3.8, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Shares into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to this Section 3.1(b), together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 3.3(d).

In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 3.8, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments, without interest. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, payments of the Merger Consideration, amounts in respect of In-The-Money Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units, shares of Company Restricted Stock and Company Phantom Shares and any amounts payable in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.3(d) or otherwise payable pursuant to Section 3.8 out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger.

21
Execution Version
or not then vested or exercisable) shall become vested and exercisable and shall thereafter be assumed by Parent and shall otherwise continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth in the applicable Company Plan (including any applicable award agreement, other agreement or other document evidencing such Company Option) immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, from and after the Effective Time, (i) each such In-The-Money Company Option will be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-The-Money Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such assumed In-The-Money Company Option will be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing (x) the exercise price of each share of Company Common Stock at which such assumed In-The-Money Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio. Any Company Option outstanding as of the Effective Time that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock that is greater than or equal to the per share dollar value of the Merger Consideration immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and forfeited for no consideration without any further action on the part of the holder of such Company Option, and all rights with respect to such Company Option shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

As of the Effective Time, each holder of Company Phantom Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Phantom Share Payment.

Unless the shares of Parent Common Shares issuable upon exercise or settlement of the In-The-Money Company Option or upon vesting of the Company Restricted Stock Unit or share of Company Restricted Stock are otherwise covered by an existing registration statement on Form S-8 immediately upon the Effective Time, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC such a registration statement with respect to such shares of Parent Common Shares no later than the Effective Time and Parent shall exercise reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such In-The-Money Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units and shares of Company Restricted Stock remain outstanding (subject to blackout periods and similar restrictions in accordance with Parent’s policies). The Company and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Parent in the preparation of any such registration statement.
(f) Manner of Effecting. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent agree that the Company shall, and shall be permitted under this Agreement to take all corporate action necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.4.

Section 3.7 Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, so long as the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL are applicable to the transaction.
Section 3.8 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or with respect to Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Shares shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Shares multiplied by the VWAP of Parent Common Shares.

Each Company SEC Filing, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, (i) as of its date, or, if amended or supplemented, as of the date of the most recent amendment or supplement thereto, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and (ii) did not, at the time it was filed (or became effective in the case of registration statements), or, if amended or supplemented, as of the date of the most recent amendment or supplement thereto, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, no Company Subsidiary is separately subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Company SEC Filings (as amended, supplemented or restated, if applicable), including the related notes and schedules (the “Company Financial Statements”), was prepared (except as indicated in the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, and each such consolidated financial statement presented fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

Section 5.7 SEC Filings; Canadian Filings; Financial Statements.
(a) Parent has filed with, or furnished (on a publicly available basis) to, the SEC all forms, reports, schedules, statements and documents required to be filed or furnished by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, including any amendments or supplements thereto, from and after January 1, 2013 (collectively, the “Parent SEC Filings”). Each Parent SEC Filing, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, (i) as of its date, or, if amended or supplemented, as of the date of the most recent amendment or supplement thereto, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and (ii) did not, at the time it was filed (or became effective in the case of registration statements), or, if amended or supplemented, as of the date of the most recent amendment or supplement thereto, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Merger Sub nor any other Parent Subsidiary is separately subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
(b) Each of Parent’s consolidated financial statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Filings (as amended, supplemented or restated, if applicable), including the related notes and schedules, was prepared (except as indicated in the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, and each such consolidated financial statement presented fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).
(c) Parent is in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and the provisions of the Exchange Act and Securities Act relating thereto which under the terms of such provisions (including the dates by which such compliance is required) have become applicable to Parent. Each of the principal executive officer of Parent and the principal financial officer of Parent has made all certifications required by Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act or Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to the Parent SEC Filings. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The records, systems, controls, data and information of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries that are used in the system of internal accounting controls described in the following sentence are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries or accountants, except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the system of internal accounting controls. Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries have devised and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including that: (1) transactions are executed only in accordance with management’s authorization; (2) transactions are recorded as necessary to
50
Execution Version
permit preparation of the financial statements of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries and to maintain accountability for the assets of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries; (3) access to such assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s authorization; (4) the reporting of such assets is compared with existing assets at regular intervals; and (5) accounts, notes and other receivables and inventory are recorded accurately, and proper and adequate procedures are implemented to effect the collection thereof on a current and timely basis. Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have disclosed to Parent’s auditors and the audit committee of the Parent Board (i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data, and (ii) any known fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal controls, and Parent has made available to the Company copies of any material written materials relating to the foregoing. Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that material information relating to Parent required to be included in reports filed under the Exchange Act, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer to material information required to be included in Parent’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. Since the enactment of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Parent Subsidiary has made any prohibited loans to any director or executive officer of Parent (as defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act).
(d) None of Parent or its consolidated subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), except for liabilities or obligations (i) expressly contemplated by or under this Agreement, including without limitation Section 6.2 hereof, (ii) incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the most recent balance sheet set forth in the Parent SEC Filings made through and including the date of this Agreement, (iii) described in any section of the Parent Disclosure Letter or (iv) that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.
(e) To the Knowledge of Parent, none of the Parent SEC Filings is the subject of ongoing SEC review and Parent has not received any comments from the SEC with respect to any of the Parent SEC Filings since January 1, 2013 which remains unresolved, nor has it received any inquiry or information request from the SEC as to any matters affecting Parent which has not been adequately addressed.

70
Execution Version
providing it to such Third Party), and (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations with such Third Party (and such Third Party’s Representatives) with respect to the Company Acquisition Proposal if, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii): (x) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, and (y) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
(c) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary by any Third Party, or any Inquiry from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with the Company relating to a possible Company Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Third Party making the Company Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry and all of the material terms and conditions of any Company Acquisition Proposal or Inquiries. The Company shall also promptly notify Parent if it enters into discussions or negotiations concerning any Company Acquisition Proposal or provides nonpublic information or data to any person in accordance with this Section 6.5(c) and keep the other party informed of the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, discussions or negotiations on a current basis, including by providing a copy of all material documentation or correspondence relating thereto.

71
Execution Version
Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
(e) Except as permitted by this Section 6.5(e), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to the Company or the Parent Recommendation, or (ii) fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Circular or any Schedule 14D-9, as applicable (any of the actions described in clauses (i) or (ii), a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval, and subject to compliance with Section 6.5(g) and Section 8.3, the Parent Board shall be permitted to effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change if, after the date of this Agreement a Parent Intervening Event has occurred or arisen and the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
(f) The Company Board shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement or effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted under Section 6.5(d) in circumstances involving or relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal unless (i) the Company has provided a written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) to Parent and Merger Sub that the Company intends to take such action and describing the material terms and conditions of, and attaching a complete copy of, the Superior Proposal that is the basis of such action (it being understood that such material terms need not include the identity of the Third Party), (ii) during the five (5) Business Day period following Parent’s and Merger Sub’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent Parent and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (iii) following the end of the five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and Merger Sub in response to the Notice of Superior Proposal or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal, and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.5(f); provided, however, that references to the five (5) Business Day period above shall then be deemed to be references to a three (3) Business Day period.
(g) Other than in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 6.5(f) and shall not be subject to this Section 6.5(g)), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company Board from making a Company Adverse Recommendation in response to a Company Intervening Event to the extent that (i) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (ii) (A) the Company provides Parent five (5) Business Days written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice
72
Execution Version
shall specify the reasons therefor, (B) after providing such notice and prior to making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent during such five (5) Business Day period (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would not permit the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.5(g), and (C) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement offered in writing by Parent, and following such five (5) Business Day period, shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law would continue to require a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Company Intervening Event.
(h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any disclosure other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, an express rejection of any applicable Company Acquisition Proposal or an express reaffirmation of the Company Recommendation to the Company’s stockholders in favor of the Merger shall be deemed to be an Company Adverse Recommendation Change.
(i) The Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries and its and their officers and directors, managers or equivalent, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any other Representatives of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to immediately cease any existing discussions, negotiations or communications (including discontinuing access to the Data Site) with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof, request that, and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause, all Third Parties who have been furnished confidential information regarding the Company in connection with the solicitation of or discussions regarding a Company Acquisition Proposal within the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Agreement to promptly return or destroy such information (to the extent that the Company is entitled to have such information returned or destroyed).
(j) For purposes of this Agreement:
(i) “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any unsolicited bona fide indication of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer from any Third Party for (or expression by a Third Party that it is considering or may engage in), whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (i) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, license, transfer or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, sale of equity interests, share exchange, joint venture, business combination or otherwise, of any assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole as determined on a book-value basis, or to which twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated revenues or earnings are attributable, (ii) any issue, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, joint venture,

Section 6.9 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), now existing in favor of the Indemnitees as provided in the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws or each of the Company Subsidiaries’ respective articles or certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational or governing documents) shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to) (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, Indemnitees with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent required by the Company Charter or Company Bylaws, or the articles or certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational or governing documents) of any of the Company Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or applicable Law, and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnitees.
(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.9(a), during the period commencing as of the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to): (i) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against and from any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to (x) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or (y) this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Indemnitee upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.9(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.9(b) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all
78
Execution Version
Indemnitees from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and does not include an admission of fault or wrongdoing by any Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent or the Surviving Entity (i) shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent and (ii) shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine in a final and non-appealable order that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable Law, in which case the Indemnitee shall promptly refund to Parent or the Surviving Entity the amount of all such expenses theretofore advanced pursuant hereto.
(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, the “D&O Insurance”), in each case, for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies and with policy limits no less than the limits on the Company’s existing policies as long as the annual premium does not exceed 300% of the annual premium under the Company’s existing policies. If the Company or the Surviving Entity for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Entity shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with the Company’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or (ii) Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to provide, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Indemnitees who are insured under the Company’s D&O Insurance with comparable D&O Insurance that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier, that is no less favorable than the existing policy of the Company (which may be provided under Parent’s D&O Insurance policy) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Entity shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent or the Surviving Entity shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.
(d) The Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.9 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.9. The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be for the benefit of each Indemnitee and his or her successors, heirs, executors, trustees, fiduciaries, administrators or representatives. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnitee in successfully enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.9.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.1 or Section 9.7 to the contrary, this Section 6.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger in accordance with its terms and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Entity and its subsidiaries, and shall be enforceable by the Indemnitees and their successors, heirs or representatives. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, commercially reasonable efforts shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates (and any additional service with any predecessor employer) before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan, except (i) for New Plans as to which employees who are similarly situated to the Company Employees are not provided such service credit or (ii) where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause: (i) each Company Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before such replacement; and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents (except to the extent such restrictions were applicable and not satisfied by the Company Employee as of the Effective Time under the comparable Company Benefit Plan), and any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents under a Company Benefit Plan during the portion of the plan year prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-insurance, co-payment and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.
(d) Prior to making any material broad-based written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and Parent and the Company shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication.
(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.10 with respect to employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries are included for the sole and exclusive benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right, express or implied (i) in any other person, including employees, former employees, any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any Company Benefit Plan or (ii) to continued employment with Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.10 to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan, Parent Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plans of the Company or Parent.

Section 8.3 Termination Fee.
(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent, within two (2) Business Days of such termination.
(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iii), then Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by the Company within two (2) Business Days of such termination.
(c) In the event that, prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting, a Company Acquisition Proposal is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed and this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) as a result of a willful breach by the Company or Section 8.1(d)(ii)(A), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Expenses of Parent within two (2) Business Days after receipt following such termination of documentation supporting such Expenses of Parent. If, concurrently, or within twelve (12) months after any such termination described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or otherwise consummates, any Company Acquisition Proposal (substituting fifty percent (50%) for the twenty percent (20%) threshold set forth in the definition of “Company Acquisition Proposal”) for all purposes under this Section 8.3(c), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee as promptly as possible (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the consummation of such Company Acquisition Proposal, unless the Termination Fee has already been paid to Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(a). Parent’s right to receive the one-time payment of the Termination Fee (if and when due) and the Expenses of Parent from the Company as provided in this Section 8.3(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent against the Company with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) as a result of a willful breach by the Company or Section 8.1(d)(ii)(A).
(d) In the event that, prior to Parent Shareholder Meeting, (i) a Parent Acquisition Proposal is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed, (ii) the Third Party making such
91
Execution Version
Parent Acquisition Proposal has publicly indicated to the Parent shareholders to the effect that they should not vote in favor of any of the matters required by the Parent Shareholder Approval, and (iii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv) or by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) as a result of a willful breach by Parent, then Parent shall pay to the Company the Expenses of the Company within two (2) Business Days after receipt following such termination of documentation supporting such Expenses of the Company. If, concurrently, or within twelve (12) months after any such termination described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Parent enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or otherwise consummates, any Parent Acquisition Proposal for all purposes under this Section 8.3(d), then Parent shall pay to the Company the Termination Fee as promptly as possible (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the consummation of such Parent Acquisition Proposal. The Company’s right to receive the one-time payment of the Termination Fee (if and when due) and the Expenses of the Company from Parent as provided in this Section 8.3(d) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Company against Parent with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv) or by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) as a result of a willful breach by Xxxxxx.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree that:
(i) under no circumstances shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee earlier than one (1) full Business Day after receipt of appropriate wire transfer instructions from Parent; and
(ii) under no circumstances shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.
(f) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company or Parent, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, either the Company or Parent, as the case may be, commences a suit that results in a judgment against the other party for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 8.3, such paying party shall pay the other party its costs and Expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate of ten percent (10%) for the period from the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.
Section 8.4 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties hereto by action taken or authorized by their
92
Execution Version
respective boards of directors (or similar governing body or entity) at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall not be (a) any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered under this Agreement to the holders of Company Common Stock, or which by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange requires the further approval of the stockholders of the Company or Parent without such further approval of such stockholders, or (b) any amendment or change not permitted under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
Section 8.5 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) subject to the proviso of Section 8.4, waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.
Section 8.6 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated; provided, however, that the Company and Parent shall share equally all Expenses related to the printing and filing of the Form F-4 and the printing, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and the Circular, other than attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

Schedule 3.2
If at any time during the period after the date of the Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(b)(iii) and Section 6.2(b)(iv) of this Agreement, Parent or any Parent Subsidiary issues, or enters into any written agreement or commitment (excluding any non-binding term sheet, letter of intent or similar arrangement) to issue after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to 14 days after the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, an aggregate amount of Parent Common Shares in excess of 16,000,000 (as such number of shares is equitably adjusted for subsequent share splits, share combinations, share dividends and recapitalizations), including any Parent Common Shares issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of Common Share Equivalents (whether or not any such Common Share Equivalents are then convertible, exercisable or exchangeable, and without giving effect to any provisions for cashless exercise or net share settlement or provisions with similar features) (the aggregate amount of Parent Common Shares, together with any Parent Common Shares issuable with respect to all Common Share Equivalents, in excess of 16,000,000, the “Excess Parent Common Shares”), the Exchange Ratio shall be ratably adjusted to reflect fully an increase in the aggregate Merger Consideration by a number of Parent Common Shares equal to [thirty-five percent (35%)] of the aggregate number of Excess Parent Common Shares. This Schedule 3.2 sets forth, solely for the purpose of illustration, an example of such adjustment to the Exchange Ratio.
“Common Share Equivalents” means any rights, options or warrants to purchase, subscribe for or otherwise acquire any shares of Parent Common Shares or any other security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Parent Common Shares.
Illustrative Calculation of
Exchange Ratio Adjustment for
Common Share Equivalents
The following sets forth, solely for illustrative purposes, an example calculation of an adjustment to the Exchange Ratio for Common Share Equivalents (and, in the event of any conflict between this illustrative example and the terms and provisions of the Agreement, the Agreement shall control).
Example
Assuming that, as of the date of the Agreement, the Exchange Ratio is 2.129 and a total of 38,521,193 shares of Parent Common Shares are issuable with respect to the Company Common Stock and, following the date of the Agreement, Parent issues convertible notes that are convertible into 22,500,000 shares of Parent Common Shares, the calculation of the adjustment to the Exchange Ratio is illustrated by the following formula:
ER0 x PCS0 + ([0.35] x [CS – 16,000,000]) / PCS0 = ER1
where,
ER0 | = | the Exchange Ratio in effect as of the Effective Time and immediately prior to the issuance of the Common Share Equivalents; | ||
ER1 | = | the Exchange Ratio in effect as of the Effective Time and immediately after the issuance of the Common Share Equivalents; | ||
PCS0 | = | the total number of Parent Common Shares issuable with respect to the Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1(b) immediately prior to the issuance of the Common Share Equivalents; and | ||
CS | = | the total number of Parent Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Common Share Equivalents. | ||
2.129 x 38,521,193 + (0.35 x [22,500,000 – 16,000,000]) /38,521,193 = 2.188 |
Accordingly, the Exchange Ratio after the issuance of the convertible notes would be adjusted to 2.188.

Schedule 7.1(b)
1. | The expiry of the period for the Competition Board of Turkey to respond or take any action in respect of the notification submitted to it with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without any formal response having been issued or action having been taken; or |
2. | A decision by the Competition Board of Turkey that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would not result in the creation or strengthening of a joint or separate dominant position or the strengthening thereof, as described under Article 7 of the Turkish Act on the Protection of Competition No. 4054 dated December 13,1994 and the Communique Concerning the Mergers and Acquisitions Calling for the Authorization of the Competition Board No. 2010/4 dated October 7, 2010, or result in significant lessening of competition in all or part of Turkey. |

M.T.M. - S.r.l. | FUELMAKER CORP [CA] | GAS DESICCATION AND CONTAMINANT DISPOSAL METHOD AND APPARATUS | Water containing contaminants is removed from a gas or liquid stream and then treated to separate the water from the contaminants. The water is separated using a condenser and a semi-permeable membrane so that it is pure enough to be disposed-of in the local environment by evaporation. The accumulated contaminants may be removed separately for controlled disposal, or reintroduced into the original stream as an alternate method of disposal. | USA | US6117211 (A) | |||||||

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AND PREVENTION OF VENTING OF GASEOUS FUEL TO ATMOSPHERE FROM A VEHICLE TANK AT COMPLETAION OF A FUELLING PROCESS | In a gaseous fuelling system for motor vehicles, the residual gas in the fill lines is depressurized in a controlled manner to prevent gas “blow back” from the vehicle tank. Methods for blow back detection and prevention in direct and indirect fill procedures are provided. | USA | US6152191 (A) |
M.T.M. - S.r.l. | RESIDENTIAL COMPRESSOR FOR REFUELING MOTOR VEHICLES THAT OPERATE ON GASEOUS FUELS. | A compressor for natural gas is made in a format suitable for mounting on a wall or upright support at a residential location. This permits refilling of the gas reservoir of a gaseous-fueled motor vehicle parked at the residence. The wall-mounted appliance has vibration isolation supports to minimize transmission of noise into the residence. It has a ventilation and air circulation system that allows it to test for the presence of flammable gas both leaking from the appliance and present in the adjacent ambient environment, e.g. a garage | USA | MXPA05003603 (A) | ||||||||
