(B) |

4.4 Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation.
(a) |
Subject to Section 4.5, Normabec shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, representative or agent of Normabec or any Normabec Subsidiary: | ||
(i) |
solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) the initiation of any inquiries or proposals regarding an Acquisition Proposal; | ||
(ii) |
participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal; | ||

(iv) |
approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal; or | ||
(v) |
enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding related to any Acquisition Proposal. |
Notwithstanding the preceding part of this Section 4.4(a) and any other provision of this Agreement, nothing shall prevent the board of directors of Normabec prior to the issuance of the Final Order from considering, participating in any discussions or negotiations, or entering into a confidentiality agreement and providing information pursuant to Section 4.4(c), regarding an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 4.4 and that the board of directors of Normabec determines in good faith, after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal. Normabec shall not consider, negotiate, accept or recommend an Acquisition Proposal after the date of the issuance of the Final Order. Normabec shall, and shall cause its officers, directors and employees and any financial advisors or other advisors, representatives or agents retained by it, to cease immediately upon execution of this Agreement all discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.
44
(b) |
Normabec shall promptly notify First Majestic, at first orally and then in writing, of any Acquisition Proposal and any enquiry that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any amendments to the foregoing, or any request for non-public information relating to Normabec in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Normabec by any Person that informs Normabec that it is considering making, or has made, a proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall include a description of the material terms and conditions of any proposal, the identity of the Person making such proposal, enquiry or contact and provide such other details of the proposal, enquiry or contact as First Majestic may reasonably request. Normabec shall: | ||
(i) |
keep First Majestic fully informed of the status including any change to the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or enquiry; and | ||
(ii) |
provide to First Majestic as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to Normabec from any Person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or sent or provided by Normabec to any Person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal. | ||
(c) |
If Normabec receives a request for material non-public information from a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal and Normabec is permitted, as contemplated under the second sentence of Section 4.5(a), to negotiate the terms of such Acquisition Proposal, then, and only in such case, the board of directors of Normabec may, subject to the execution by such Person of a confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to the Confidentiality Agreement, provide such Person with access to information regarding Normabec; provided, however, that the Person making the Acquisition Proposal shall not be precluded under such confidentiality agreement from making the Acquisition Proposal (but not any material amendment thereto) and provided further that Normabec sends a copy of any such confidentiality agreement to First Majestic promptly upon its execution and concurrently provides First Majestic with a list of or copies of the information provided to such Person and access to similar information which was provided to such Person. | ||
(d) |
Normabec shall ensure that its officers, directors and employees and any financial advisors or other advisors, representatives or agents retained by it are aware of the provisions of this Section 4.4, and it shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 4.4 by any such Person. |
4.5 Notice by Normabec of Superior Proposal Determination. Notwithstanding Sections 4.4(a), (b) and (d), Normabec may accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal if, and only if:
(a) |
it has provided First Majestic with a copy of the Superior Proposal document; |
45
(b) |
five Business Days shall have elapsed from the later of (i) the date First Majestic received written notice advising First Majestic that Normabec’s board of directors has resolved, subject only to compliance with this Section 4.5 and termination of this Agreement, to accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal, and (ii) the date First Majestic received a copy of such Superior Proposal; and | ||
(c) |
it has previously or concurrently will have: | ||
(i) |
paid to First Majestic the break fee, if any, payable under Section 6.3; and | ||
(ii) |
terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2. |
Any information provided by Normabec to First Majestic pursuant to this Section 4.5 or pursuant to Section 4.4 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) of the Confidentiality Agreement.
During the five Business Day period (the “Match Period”) referred to in Section 4.5(b), Normabec agrees that First Majestic shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The board of directors of Normabec will review any offer by First Majestic to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether First Majestic’s offer upon acceptance by Normabec would result in such Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the board of directors of Normabec so determines, it will enter into an amended agreement with First Majestic reflecting First Majestic’s amended proposal and will, within two Business Days of entering into such amendment, reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement and issue a press release to that effect. If the board of directors of Normabec continues to believe, in good faith and after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects First Majestic’s amended proposal, Normabec may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(c)(iv); provided, however, that Normabec must concurrently therewith pay to First Majestic the break fee, if any, payable to First Majestic under Section 6.3 and must prior to or concurrently with such termination enter into a binding agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal. Normabec acknowledges and agrees that payment of the break fee, if any, payable under Section 6.3 is a condition to valid termination of this Agreement under Section 6.2(c)(iv) and this Section 4.5.
If, less than six Business Days before the Normabec Meeting, Normabec has provided First Majestic with a notice under Section 4.5(b), an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly disclosed or announced and the Match Period has not elapsed, then, subject to applicable Laws, at First Majestic’s request, Normabec will postpone or adjourn the Normabec Meeting to a date acceptable to First Majestic and Normabec, acting reasonably, which shall not be less than five Business Days and not more than 10 Business Days after the scheduled date of the Normabec Meeting and shall, in the event that First Majestic and Normabec amend the terms of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.5, ensure that the details of such amended Agreement are communicated to the Normabec Shareholders at or prior to the resumption of the adjourned Normabec Meeting
Normabec also acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the requirement under clause (b) of this Section 4.5 to initiate an additional five Business Day notice period.
46
4.6 Access to Information. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and applicable Laws, upon reasonable notice, Normabec shall afford First Majestic’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives and advisors (“Representatives”) access, during normal business hours in the Pre-Effective Date Period to such properties, books, contracts and records and other documents, information or data relating to Normabec and the Normabec Subsidiaries which First Majestic or its Representatives deem necessary or advisable to review in making an examination of Normabec, the Normabec Subsidiaries and the Business, as well as to its management personnel, and, during such period, Normabec shall furnish promptly to First Majestic all information concerning Normabec, the Normabec Subsidiaries and their respective Business, properties and personnel as First Majestic or its Representatives may reasonably request. Subject to applicable Laws, upon reasonable notice, First Majestic shall afford Normabec’s Representatives access, during normal business hours in the Pre-Effective Date Period to such of First Majestic’s management personnel as First Majestic may determine, acting reasonably, and, during such period, First Majestic shall furnish promptly to Normabec all information respecting material changes in First Majestic’s business, properties and personnel as Normabec may reasonably request. At the request of First Majestic, Normabec will execute or cause to be executed such consents, authorizations and directions as may be necessary to enable First Majestic or its Representatives to obtain full access to all files and records relating to Normabec or its assets maintained by any Governmental Entity.
4.7 Covenant Regarding Representations and Warranties. Each of Normabec and First Majestic covenants that it will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the representations and warranties given by it and contained in Article 3 are true and correct on and as at the Effective Date (except as affected by transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or otherwise consented to by the other parties hereto) or if not true, do not have a Material Adverse Effect on such party.
4.8 Closing Matters. Each of First Majestic, Normabec and Newco shall deliver, at the closing of the Arrangement and other transactions contemplated hereby, such customary certificates (including “bring-down” certificates), resolutions, opinions and other closing documents as may be required by the other party, acting reasonably. The closing of the Arrangement and the transactions contemplated hereby will take place at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the Effective Date at the offices of XxXxxxxxxx O’Xxxxxx Xxxxx LLP, 1100 – 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx or such other time and place as the parties hereto may agree, acting reasonably.

50
First Majestic may not rely on the failure to satisfy any of the above conditions precedent as a basis for a non-compliance by it with its obligations under this Agreement if the condition precedent would have been satisfied but for a material default by First Majestic in complying with its obligations hereunder.
5.3 Additional Conditions Precedent to the Obligations of Normabec. The obligations of Normabec to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall also be subject to the following conditions precedent (each of which is for the exclusive benefit of Normabec and may be waived by Normabec and any one or more of which, if not satisfied or waived, will relieve Normabec of any obligation under this Agreement):
(a) |
all covenants of First Majestic under this Agreement to be performed on or before the Effective Date shall have been duly performed by First Majestic in all material respects; | |
(b) |
all representations and warranties of First Majestic contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date as if made on and as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of a specified date which is earlier than the date of this Agreement, in which event such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier specified date, or except as affected by transactions contemplated or permitted by this Agreement) and Normabec shall have received a certificate of First Majestic addressed to Normabec and dated the Effective Date, signed on behalf of First Majestic by two senior executive officers of First Majestic confirming the same as at the Effective Date; | |

(d) |
the board of directors of First Majestic shall have adopted all necessary resolutions, and all other necessary corporate action shall have been taken by First Majestic to permit the consummation of the Arrangement and the issue of First Majestic Shares pursuant to the Arrangement, pursuant to Section 5.2(k) and upon the exercise from time to time of the Replacement Warrants. |
Normabec may not rely on the failure to satisfy any of the above conditions precedent as a basis for noncompliance by Normabec with its obligations under this Agreement if the condition precedent would have been satisfied but for a material default by Normabec in complying with its obligations hereunder.
5.4 Notice and Cure Provisions. First Majestic and Normabec will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the Effective Date, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:

cause any of the representations or warranties of the other contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or on the Effective Date; or | |
(b) |
result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by the other hereunder prior to the Effective Date. |
51
Neither First Majestic nor Normabec may elect not to complete the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the conditions precedent contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, or exercise any termination right arising therefrom, unless forthwith and in any event prior to the filing of the Final Order for acceptance by the Registrar, First Majestic or Normabec, as the case may be, has delivered a written notice to the other specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which First Majestic or Normabec, as the case may be, are asserting as the basis for the non-fulfillment of the applicable condition precedent or the exercise of the termination right, as the case may be. If any such notice is delivered, provided that First Majestic or Normabec, as the case may be, are proceeding diligently to cure such matter, if such matter is susceptible to being cured, the other may not terminate this Agreement until the earlier of the Drop Dead Date and the expiration of a period of 15 days from such notice. If such notice has been delivered prior to the date of the Normabec Meeting, such meeting shall be postponed until the expiry of such period. If such notice has been delivered prior to the making of the application for the Final Order or the filing of the Amalgamation Application with the Registrar, such application and such filing shall be postponed until the expiry of such period.

If any condition contained in Sections 5.1 or 5.2 is not satisfied on or before the Effective Date, to the satisfaction of First Majestic, then First Majestic may by notice to Normabec terminate this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder except as otherwise herein provided, but without detracting from the rights of First Majestic arising from any breach by Normabec but for which the condition would have been satisfied. | |

(B) |
through no fault of First Majestic the Arrangement shall not have been submitted for the approval of the Normabec Shareholders at the Normabec Meeting, on or before November 12, 2009, in the manner provided for in Article 2 and in the Interim Order, unless such failure results from: (i) delays in obtaining all Applicable Regulatory Approvals that are beyond the control of Normabec; or (ii) an adjournment of such meeting for not more than 10 Business Days in the circumstances described in Section 4.5; | ||
(iv) |
be terminated by Normabec in order to enter into a definitive written agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, subject to compliance with Section 4.6 and the payment of the fee required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.3(a); or | ||
(v) |
be terminated by either Normabec or First Majestic if the Arrangement, through no fault of First Majestic, shall not have been approved by the Normabec Shareholders, on or before November 12, 2009, in the manner provided for in Article 2 and in the Interim Order, unless such failure results from: (i) delays in obtaining all Applicable Regulatory Approvals that are beyond the control of Normabec; (ii) an adjournment of such meeting for not more than 10 Business Days in the circumstances described in Section 4.5; or (iii) strikes, lockouts, labour, power or fuel shortages, fires, wars, acts of God, civil disturbances or any other reason or reasons of “force majeure” beyond the reasonable control of Normabec acting in good faith. |
(d) |
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if the Effective Date does not occur on or prior to the Drop Dead Date, then this Agreement shall terminate without further action by any party. | |
(e) |
If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2, no party shall have any further liability to perform its obligations hereunder, except as provided for in Section 6.3 or as otherwise contemplated hereby, and provided that, subject to Section 6.5, neither the termination of this Agreement nor anything contained in this Section 6.2(e) shall relieve any party from any liability for any breach by it of this Agreement, including from any inaccuracy in its representations and warranties and any non-performance by it of its covenants made herein. |
53
6.3 Break Fee.
(a) |
If: | ||
(i) |
Normabec shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(c)(iv); | ||
(ii) |
First Majestic shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(c)(iii); | ||
(iii) |
an Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or made to the Normabec Shareholders and is not publicly withdrawn prior to the Normabec Meeting; the Arrangement Resolution is not approved at the Normabec Meeting; either Normabec or First Majestic terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(c)(v); and an Acquisition Proposal is consummated within 12 months of such termination; or | ||
(iv) |
this Agreement is terminated by First Majestic pursuant to Section 6.2(a) as a result of (i) a breach or non-performance by Normabec of any of its material covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties under this Agreement (other than as a result of or in response to a breach of First Majestic of covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties under this Agreement) which makes it impossible that all of the conditions of this Agreement in favour of First Majestic will be satisfied, or (b) a failure by Normabec to complete the Arrangement and the mutual conditions precedent in Section 5.1 and the additional conditions precedent to the obligations of Normabec in Section 5.3 have been satisfied, |
then in any such case Normabec shall pay to First Majestic the sum of $350,000 in immediately available funds to an account designated by First Majestic. Such payment shall be due and payable:
(v) |
in the case of a termination specified in clause (i), prior to or concurrent with the termination of this Agreement; | |
(vi) |
in the case of a termination specified in clause (ii), within five Business Days after written notice of termination by First Majestic; | |
(vii) |
in the case of a termination specified in clause (iii), within five Business Days after consummation of an Acquisition Proposal; or | |
(viii) |
in the case of a termination specified in clause (iv), within three Business Days after written notice of termination by First Majestic. |
54
Normabec shall not be obligated to make more than one payment pursuant to this Section 6.3(a). | ||
(b) |
If this Agreement is terminated by Normabec pursuant to Section 6.2(b) as a result of (i) a breach or non-performance by First Majestic of any of its material covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties under this Agreement (other than as a result of or in response to a breach of Normabec of covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties under this Agreement) which makes it impossible that all of the conditions of this Agreement in favour of Normabec will be satisfied, or (b) a failure by First Majestic to complete the Arrangement and the mutual conditions precedent in Section 5.1 and the additional conditions precedent to the obligations of First Majestic in Section 5.2 have been satisfied then, in any such case, First Majestic shall pay to Normabec the sum of $350,000 in immediately available funds to an account designated by Normabec. Such payment shall be due and payable within three Business Days after written notice of termination by Normabec. First Majestic shall not be obliged to make more than one payment pursuant to this Section 6.3(b). |
6.4 Liquidated Damages. Each of Normabec and First Majestic acknowledges that the damages set forth in this Article 6 are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which the other will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to those damages and are not penalties. Each of Normabec and First Majestic irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence in any proceedings that any such damages are abusive.
6.5 Remedies. Subject to Section 6.6, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any party or its representatives and any such breach would cause the non-breaching party irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the parties, the non-breaching party will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the parties.
6.6 Effect of Break Fee Payment. For greater certainty, the parties agree that the payment of the amount pursuant to Section 6.3 is the sole monetary remedy as a result of the occurrence of any of the events referred to in Section 6.3.
Subject to the immediately preceding paragraph, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a party from seeking damages in respect of losses incurred or suffered by such party as a result of any breach of this Agreement by the other party, seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise, or seeking specific performance of any of such covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith.

2.3 Arrangement. Commencing at the Effective Time, the following shall occur and shall be deemed to occur in the following order without any further act or formality:
(a) |
the Shareholder Rights Plan shall terminate and cease to have any further force or effect and all rights issued and outstanding thereunder shall immediately be cancelled without need for any further act or formality; | |
(b) |
Normabec shall, and shall be deemed to, transfer all of the Transferred Assets to Newco in consideration for the issuance by Newco to Normabec of such number of Newco Shares as is equal to the total number of Normabec Shares issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (other than Normabec Shares held by a holder who has validly exercised its Dissent Rights) multiplied by the Newco Exchange Ratio; |
- 5 -
(c) |
Normabec’s share capital and its Articles will be altered by: | ||
(i) |
creating an unlimited number of Class A common shares (the “Normabec Class A Common Shares”) with the rights, privileges and restrictions as set forth in Schedule I hereto; and; | ||
(ii) |
amending the rights, privileges and restrictions attaching to the Normabec Shares so as to match those set forth in Schedule II hereto; | ||
(d) |
each of the issued Normabec Shares (except Normabec Shares held by a holder who has validly exercised its Dissent Rights) will be deemed to be exchanged with Normabec for one Normabec Class A Common Share and such number of Newco Shares received by Normabec in accordance with paragraph (b), above, as is equal to the Newco Exchange Ratio and the Normabec Shares will be cancelled and will form part of the authorized but unissued share capital of Normabec and no Normabec Shares will remain outstanding; | ||
(e) |
Normabec’s share capital and its Articles will be altered by: | ||
(i) |
reducing the authorized capital by eliminating the authorized and unissued Normabec Shares; and | ||
(ii) |
altering the indentifying name of all of the Normabec Class A Common Shares to be Common Shares. | ||
(f) |
each outstanding Normabec Class A Common Share will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, for that number of fully paid and non-assessable First Majestic Shares equal to the First Majestic Exchange Ratio, and the name of each such holder of Normabec Class A Common Shares will be removed from the register of holders of Normabec Class A Common Shares and added to the register of holders of First Majestic Shares; | ||
(g) |
each Normabec Warrant, to the extent it has not been exercised as of the Effective Date, will be exchanged by the holder thereof, without any further act or formality and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, for (i) a warrant (a “Replacement Warrant”) to purchase a number of First Majestic Shares equal to the product of the First Majestic Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Normabec Shares issuable on exercise of such Normabec Warrant for an exercise price per First Majestic Share equal to the exercise price per share of such Normabec Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the First Majestic Exchange Ratio and rounded up to the nearest whole cent (provided that, if the foregoing calculation results in a Replacement Warrant being exercisable for a fraction of an First Majestic Share, then the number of First Majestic Shares subject to such Replacement Warrant shall be rounded down to the next whole number of First Majestic Shares); and (ii) a warrant (a “Newco Warrant”) to purchase a number of Newco Shares equal to the Newco Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of Normabec Shares issuable on exercise of such Normabec Warrant for an exercise price per Newco Share equal to the exercise price per share of such Normabec Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Newco Exchange Ratio and rounded up to the nearest whole cent (provided that, if the foregoing calculation results in a Newco Warrant being exercisable for a fraction of a Newco Share, then the number of Newco Shares subject to such Newco Warrant shall be rounded down to the next whole number of Newco Shares); and the Normabec Warrants shall thereupon be cancelled. The term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercise and other terms and conditions of each of the Replacement Warrants and Newco Warrants shall be the same as the terms and conditions of the Normabec Warrant for which it is exchanged and First Majestic and Newco shall, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, issue to such holder certificates representing such Replacement Warrants or Newco Warrants, as the case may be, and the original certificates representing such Normabec Warrants shall thereupon be void; and |
- 6 -
(h) |
each Normabec Option that has not been duly exercised prior to the Effective Time shall be terminated without any further act or formality. |
2.4 Adjustments to Exchange Ratios. The First Majestic Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into First Majestic Shares or Normabec Shares), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to First Majestic Shares or Normabec Shares occurring after the date of the Arrangement Agreement and prior to the Effective Time. The Newco Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Newco Shares or Normabec Shares), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Newco Shares or Normabec Shares occurring after the date of the Arrangement Agreement and prior to the Effective Time.
ARTICLE 3
RIGHTS OF DISSENT
3.1 Rights of Dissent. Holders of Normabec Shares may exercise rights of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) with respect to such shares pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Section 190 of the CBCA, the Interim Order and this Section 3.1 (the “Dissent Procedures”) in connection with the Arrangement; provided that, notwithstanding Section 190(5) of the CBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in Section 190(5) of the CBCA must be received by Normabec not later than 5:00 p.m. (Montréal time) on the last Business Day preceding the Meeting Date. Holders of Normabec Shares who duly exercise such rights of dissent and who:
(a) |
are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their Normabec Shares shall be deemed to have transferred such Normabec Shares to First Majestic as of the Effective Time without any further act or formality and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, in consideration for the payment by First Majestic of the fair value thereof, in cash; or | |
(b) |
are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Normabec Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non- dissenting holder of Normabec Shares and shall receive First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares on the basis determined in accordance with Section 2.3(d), |
but in no case shall First Majestic, Normabec, Newco or any other Person be required to recognize such holders as holders of Normabec Shares after the Effective Time, and the names of such holders of Normabec Shares shall be deleted from the registers of holders of Normabec Shares at the Effective Time.

ARTICLE 4
CERTIFICATES AND FRACTIONAL
SHARES
4.1 Exchange of Share Certificates. As soon as practicable following the later of the Effective Date and the surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of certificates that, immediately before the Effective Time, represented a holder’s Normabec Shares, together with a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents and instruments as would have been required to effect the transfer of the shares formerly represented by such certificates under the CBCA and the articles of Normabec and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, (a) First Majestic shall cause the Depositary to deliver to such holder a certificate representing that number of First Majestic Shares which such holder has the right to receive and (b) Newco shall cause the Depositary to deliver to such holder a certificate representing that number of Newco Shares which such holder has the right to receive (together, in either case, with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.2) and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Normabec Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of Normabec, certificates representing the proper number of First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares may be issued to the transferee if the certificate representing such Normabec Shares is presented to the Depositary, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer to the transferee. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.1, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Normabec Shares shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender (i) the certificates representing First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares as contemplated by this Section 4.1, and (ii) any dividends or distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid or payable with respect to First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares as contemplated by Section 4.2.
4.2 Distributions with Respect to Unsurrendered Certificates. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Normabec Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Section 2.3(d), unless and until the holder of record of such certificate shall surrender such certificate in accordance with Section 4.1. Subject to applicable law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate (or in the case of clause (ii) below, at the appropriate payment date), there shall be paid to the holder of record of the certificates formerly representing whole Normabec Shares, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole First Majestic Share or Newco Share and (ii) on the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole First Majestic Share or Newco Share.
4.3 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional First Majestic Shares or Newco Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates pursuant to Section 4.1 and no dividend, stock split or other change in the capital structure of First Majestic or Newco shall relate to any such fractional security and such fractional interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to exercise any rights as a security holder of First Majestic or Newco. Any entitlement pursuant to Section 4.1 to fractional First Majestic Shares or Newco Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares, as the case may be.
4.4 Lost Certificates. In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Normabec Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Section 2.3(d) 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, one or more certificates representing one or more First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares (and any dividends or distributions with respect thereto) 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 certificates representing First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares are to be issued shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to First Majestic, Newco and the Depositary in such sum as they may direct or otherwise indemnify First Majestic, Newco and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to each of them against any claim that may be made against them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
- 8 -
4.5 Extinction of Rights. Any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Normabec Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and not deposited, with all other instruments required by Section 4.1 on or prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature as a shareholder of First Majestic or Newco. On such date, the First Majestic Shares and Newco Shares to which the former registered holder of the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence was ultimately entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to First Majestic or Newco, respectively, together with all entitlements to dividends, distributions and interest thereon held for such former registered holder. None of First Majestic, Newco, Normabec or the Depositary shall be liable to any person in respect of any First Majestic Shares or Newco Shares (or dividends, distributions and interest in respect thereof) delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
4.6 Withholding and Sale Rights. Each of First Majestic, Newco and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from (i) any First Majestic Shares, Newco Shares or other consideration otherwise issuable or payable pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement to any holder of Normabec Shares, or (ii) any dividend or consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Normabec Shares, First Majestic Shares or Newco Shares such amounts as First Majestic, Newco or the Depositary, respectively, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such issuance or payment, as the case may be, under the ITA, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case as amended. To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld from the First Majestic Shares, Newco Shares, dividends or consideration otherwise issuable or payable to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to such holder, each of First Majestic, Newco and the Depositary is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of, at such times and at such prices as it determines, in its sole discretion, such portion of the First Majestic Shares or Newco Shares otherwise issuable or payable to such holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to First Majestic, Newco or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement, and shall notify the holder thereof and remit to such holder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale or disposition (after deducting applicable sale commissions and any other reasonable expenses relating thereto) in lieu of the First Majestic Shares, Newco Shares or other consideration so sold or disposed of. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or First Majestic Shares or Newco Shares or other consideration are so sold or disposed of, such withheld amounts, or shares or other consideration so sold or disposed of, shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction, withholding, sale or disposition was made, provided that such withheld amounts, or the net proceeds of such sale or disposition, as the case may be, are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. None of First Majestic, Newco or the Depositary shall be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price for any of the First Majestic Shares, Newco Shares or other consideration sold or disposed of by it hereunder, nor shall any of them be liable for any loss arising out of any such sale or disposition.
