| b) | For so long as the Investor has the right to designate the Investor Nominee for election to the Board pursuant to this Part 2, the Corporation undertakes to propose the Investor Nominee for election to the Board and will include in any management information circular relating to the election of directors of the Corporation (or present to Shareholders by written consent, if applicable) the candidacy of the Investor Nominee who the Investor is entitled to designate, and will otherwise support the election or appointment of the Investor’s Nominee in a manner that is at least as favourable to the Investor Nominee as the manner in which the Corporation supports other candidates for election or appointment to the Board. |
| c) | Starting at the first annual meeting of Shareholders following the Closing Date, the Corporation will propose or appoint, as the case may be, a number of directors that will permit at all times and from time to time and in accordance with the QBCA and the articles of incorporation of the Corporation, the appointment or election, as the case may be, of the Investor Nominee. |
| d) | The Corporation will obtain and use reasonable efforts to maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy providing coverage and on terms and conditions acceptable to the Board. The Corporation will enter into customary indemnification agreements with the director appointed to the Board pursuant to this Agreement. |
5
| e) | The Investor Nominee must comply with the provisions of the QBCA regarding disclosure of interests and abstention from voting to the extent required in connection with any agreement between the Corporation and the Investor and their subsidiaries. Moreover, the Investor Nominee will be required to comply with the practices of the Board, which may require that the Investor Nominee be excluded from a meeting or a part thereof if the Investor Nominee’s interests conflict with the interests of the Corporation. |
| 2.2 | Notice of Annual Meeting |
The Corporation must notify the Investor of its intention to hold an annual meeting of Shareholders or any meeting at which nominees will stand for election as directors, at least [redacted - delay] days prior to the approval by the Board of the management information circular for such meeting. The Investor may notify the Corporation of its designation of the Investor Nominee pursuant to Subsection 2.1a) at any time, but no later than [redacted - delay] days after the date of the aforementioned notice from the Corporation. If the Investor fails to notify the Corporation of the designation of the Investor Nominee before the expiry of the period provided for in the previous sentence, the Investor shall be deemed to have designated the Investor Nominee currently holding this role. Upon such designation, the Investor shall provide the Corporation with all information required under Securities Laws for disclosure in a management information circular.
| 2.3 | Designation During the Year |
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Part 2, prior to the first annual meeting of Shareholders following the date of this Agreement, or if a physical Person recommended as the Investor Nominee ceases to be a director of the Corporation or if the office of the Investor Nominee otherwise becomes vacant, the Investor may notify the Corporation of its designation of the Investor Nominee or the replacement thereof, as the case may be, the Corporation shall appoint such Investor Nominee to the Board as soon as practicable, acting reasonably and to the extent permitted by the QBCA and its articles of incorporation for a term expiring at the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, as a result of the restrictions set forth in the articles of incorporation of the Corporation, the Investor Nominee cannot be appointed to the Board on the Closing Date, the Investor Nominee will be entitled, until the first annual meeting of Shareholders following the date of this Agreement, to attend all meetings of the Board, to receive copies of all documents distributed to the Board and to participate in discussions at Board and committee meetings as an observer, but will have no voting rights at such Board meetings and will not be entitled to any remuneration from the Corporation, provided, however, that all reasonable and documented disbursements incurred by such Investor Nominee will be reimbursed by the Corporation. The Investor Nominee undertakes to sign a confidentiality agreement providing for confidentiality obligations similar to those imposed on directors of the Board.
PART 3
OTHER RIGHTS AND UNDERTAKINGS
| 3.1 | Share Listing and Other Undertakings |
During the term hereof, the Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain its status as a reporting issuer in all applicable Canadian provinces and to maintain the listing of the Common Shares on the TSX and the NASDAQ (other than in the case of a merger, plan of arrangement or other type of transaction that is approved by the Board and the Shareholders or a take-over bid, in each case, leading to the privatization of the Corporation) and must file, within the required time, the documents prescribed by applicable Securities Laws and the rules of the TSX and NASDAQ.
6
| 3.2 | Shareholder Approval for Exchange of Subscription Receipts |
Starting at the Closing Date, for so long as the Holder beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over at least 50% of the Common Shares that it held on the Closing Date, if a Holder wishes to exchange its Subscription Receipts for Underlying Shares and such exchange requires the approval of the Shareholders under the rules of the TSX and/or NASDAQ, as applicable, or under applicable Securities Laws, the Corporation, upon receipt of a written notice from the Holder, undertakes to (i) add to the agenda of its next annual meeting of Shareholders a Shareholders’ resolution approving the issuance of the Underlying Shares, to the extent that such a request is made at least [redacted - delay] days before the anniversary date of the notice of meeting that was sent to the Shareholders in connection with the previous annual meeting of Shareholders, or (ii) convene and hold a special meeting of Shareholders to approve the issuance of the Underlying Shares, provided that such a request is made not less than [redacted - delay] days after the last annual meeting of Shareholders and not later than [redacted - delay] days after such meeting, and provided that a similar request for approval has not already been submitted to the Shareholders and rejected by them at a meeting of Shareholders held in the [redacted - delay] months preceding such request.
In connection with a meeting of Shareholders to approve the issuance of the Underlying Shares in accordance with the foregoing, the Corporation undertakes to take all legal and commercially reasonable actions (including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause management and each member of the Board to vote their Common Shares and the shares of the Corporation entitled to be voted on such matter and all voting rights represented by proxies received in favour of the issuance of the Underlying Shares to the Holder) to obtain the approval of the Shareholders with respect to the issuance of the Underlying Shares to the Holder, subject, however, to the directors exercising their fiduciary duties. It is understood, however (i) that the Corporation will have the right to propose the approval of the issuance of the Underlying Shares in favour of a Holder in a resolution separate from any other resolution that the Corporation may wish to submit to the approval of the Shareholders at a meeting of the Shareholders, and (ii) that if the Shareholders vote against the issuance of the Underlying Shares in favour of the Holder, the Corporation will be required to issue in favour of the Holder, and the Holder will be entitled to receive, only such number of Underlying Shares that does not require Shareholder approval.
| 3.3 | Grant of Additional Rights |
For a period starting on the Closing Date and ending two (2) years following the Closing Date, in the event that the Corporation intends to grant nomination rights to any other Shareholder or future Shareholder whose terms or conditions are generally similar to the nomination rights granted to the Investor under this Agreement, the Corporation undertakes not to grant any such nomination rights only to the extent that they, taken as a whole, are subordinate to those granted to the Investor under this Agreement.
| 3.4 | Head Office |
The Corporation hereby undertakes to maintain the head office and principal place of business of the Corporation in Québec for a period starting on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (a) 7 years following the Closing Date or (b) the date on which the Holder ceases to beneficially own or exercise control or direction over at least 50% of the Common Shares that it held on the Closing Date.
For the purposes of this Section 3.4, maintaining the Corporation’s principal place of business in Québec requires (a) that at least the Corporation’s current decision-making, administrative and technological development activities in Québec be maintained in Québec by the Corporation, (b) that the Corporation not significantly reduce its activities in
7
Québec, (c) that the ownership of the Corporation’s intellectual property be maintained in Québec, and (d) that research and development activities be carried out in Québec, provided, however, that the Corporation’s business plan provides for the continuation of research and development activities.
| 3.5 | Observer |
Starting at the Closing Date, for so long as the Holder beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over at least 50% of the Common Shares that it held on the Closing Date, the Investor has the right to designate, at its sole discretion, in addition to the Investor Nominee, one (1) observer (the “Observer”) to attend meetings of the Board. The Observer will not have voting rights but will have the right to participate in deliberations. Subject to the signing of the confidentiality agreement provided for in the paragraph below, the Observer will be appointed and may be replaced at any time and from time to time by the Investor.
The Observer must declare to the Chair of the Board any current or possible future conflict between its interests and those of the Corporation as soon as the Observer becomes aware of them. In addition, the Observer must comply with the practices of the Board, which may require that the Observer be excluded from a meeting or a part thereof if the Observer’s interests conflict with the interests of the Corporation. In addition, once the Observer has been designated by the Investor, the Observer agrees to sign a confidentiality agreement providing for confidentiality obligations similar to those imposed on the directors of the Board.
The Observer shall receive, at the same time as the directors of the Board, notices of Board meetings and all agendas, minutes and other written material relating to such meetings.
PART 4
ANTI-CORRUPTION
| 4.1 | Legal Compliance |
The Corporation shall refrain from, and shall use its best efforts to cause its Affiliates and third parties acting on their respective behalf to refrain from, making any promise, offer or transfer, directly or indirectly, of money, other assets or services or other things of value, including, but not limited to, payments obtained by the Corporation from the Investor or its Affiliates (each a “Payment”), to an employee, official, agent, mandatary or representative of a Government Entity, a foreign political party or an international public body, a candidate for political office or a person acting on behalf of a Government Entity (each a “Prohibited Recipient”), where such Payment would constitute a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (United States), as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, any applicable law of a state of the United States of America relating to bribery, the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada) or any other statute or similar regulation of any other country that has legal jurisdiction over the Corporation or the Investor or its Affiliates.
