(ii)

enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person (other than Parent, Purchaser and/or Hydrogen Company or their affiliates or any person acting jointly or in concert with Parent, Purchaser and/or Hydrogen Company or their affiliates) regarding an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to constitute an Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that the Company may inform persons of the provisions contained in this Section 5.2);

(iv)

The Company will immediately discontinue access to and disclosure of all information, including any data room and any confidential information, properties, facilities, Books and Records provided to such other Parties and, as soon as reasonably practicable and in event within two Business Days of the date of this Agreement, request to the extent it is entitled to do so the return or destruction of all information provided to any such person. The Company agrees that it shall not waive any provision of any existing confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or restriction relating to a potential Acquisition Proposal to which the Company is a party, it being acknowledged that the automatic termination or release of any such restrictions in any such agreements as a result of entering into and announcing this Agreement or expiry of the natural term of such obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, shall not be a violation of this Section 5.2(b). The Company and its Board of Directors consents to, and waives the applicable, standstill or similar agreements or restrictions applicable to Parent, Purchaser and Hydrogen Company solely to permit the Parties to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Arrangement and the transactions expressly permitted by this Agreement.

The Company shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the status and details of and any material changes to the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal or offer (as amended, if applicable).

(d)

Notwithstanding this Section 5.2 and any other provision of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company and Parent, Purchaser and/or Hydrogen Company, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Requisite Approval, the Company receives a written Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited after entering into this Agreement in breach of Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b); and if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof, acting in good faith and after receiving advice from financial and legal advisors, the Acquisition Proposal (disregarding, for the purpose of any such determination, any term of such Acquisition Proposal that provides for a due diligence investigation and/or a financing condition) is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, the Company may (directly or through its Representatives):

(i)

furnish information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries to the person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives and potential financing sources; and/or

(ii)

consider such Acquisition Proposal and/or, participate and/or engage in discussions with the person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives and potential financing sources:

provided that the Company shall not, and shall not allow its Representatives to, disclose any non-public information with respect to the Company to such person without entering into a confidentiality agreement having confidentiality terms not in the aggregate materially more favourable to such person than the equivalent terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (unless such person has already entered into a confidentiality agreement prior to the date hereof), it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not restrict such person from making an Acquisition Proposal or consummating a Superior Proposal; provided that Purchaser is promptly provided with copies of any material non-public information provided to such person, which was not previously provided to Purchaser.

(e)

Subject to compliance with Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Requisite Approval, if the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal which the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors and relevant committee thereof may make a Change in Recommendation and accept, approve, recommend or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with Section Section 5.2 and Section Section 5.3.

(f)

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Board of Directors and relevant committee thereof from taking any action or making any disclosure prior to the Effective Time including, for greater certainty, making a Change in Recommendation, if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof, after consultation with legal counsel, failure to take such action or make such disclosure would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the exercise of fiduciary duties or such action or disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law (including by responding to an Acquisition Proposal under a directors’ circular or otherwise as required under applicable Securities Laws); provided, however, that notwithstanding that the Board of Directors and relevant committee thereof shall be permitted to take such action or make such disclosure, the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof shall not be permitted make a Change in Recommendation relating to an Acquisition Proposal, other than as permitted by Section 5.3(a).

Section

5.3 Right to Match

(a)

Subject to Section 5.3(b), the Company covenants that it will not accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Superior Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by Section 5.2(d)) unless:

(i)

an Acquisition Proposal has been made that the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof determines in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal;

(ii)

such Acquisition Proposal did not result from the willful and intentional breach of the Company’s obligations under Section 5.2 and the Company has provided Purchaser with a copy of the Superior Proposal;

(iii)

the Arrangement Resolution shall not yet have received the Requisite Approval at the Company Meeting;

(iv)

a period (the “Response Period”) of five Business Days shall have elapsed from the date on which Purchaser received written notice (which notice shall include a copy of the documentation constituting the Acquisition Proposal) that the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof determined, subject only to compliance with this Section 5.3, to accept, approve, recommend or enter into a binding agreement to proceed with the Superior Proposal (the “Superior Proposal Notice”);

(v)

if Purchaser has proposed to amend the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3(b), the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof shall have determined in good faith after consultation with legal and financial advisors that the Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account such amendments;

(vi)

the Company shall have terminated, or shall concurrently terminate, this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv)(A); and

(vii)

the Company has previously, or concurrently will have, paid to Purchaser (or as Purchaser may direct by notice in writing) the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 10.4(a)(ii).

In addition, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement (but subject to the right of termination under Section 10.2(a)(iii)(B)), the Board of Directors and relevant committee thereof may make a Change in Recommendation and recommend or approve an Acquisition Proposal provided that the requirements of clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 5.3(a) are satisfied.

(b)

During the Response Period,

(i)

Purchaser will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof will review any such written proposal by Purchaser to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith, including an increase in, or modification of, the Consideration to be received by the Company Shareholders (other than Hydrogen Company and its affiliates), to determine whether the Acquisition Proposal to which Purchaser is responding would constitute a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Arrangement as it is proposed by Purchaser to be amended. If the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof does not so determine, the Board of Directors or relevant committee thereof will promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement in substantially the same manner as described in Section 1.4 of Schedule C hereto and the Parties will negotiate in good faith and enter into an amended agreement on reasonable terms reflecting the amendments to the Arrangement as proposed by Purchaser.

(ii)

If the Board of Directors or relevant committee does so determine, the Company may after the end of the Response Period, approve, recommend, accept or enter into an agreement, understanding or arrangement to proceed with the Superior Proposal.

(c)

Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Company Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 5.3, provided that the Response Period in respect of such new Acquisition Proposal shall extend only until the later of the end of the initial five Business Day Response Period and 24 hours after the Purchaser has received the Superior Proposal Notice for the new Acquisition Proposal.

(d)

If the Response Period would not terminate before the date fixed for the Company Meeting, the Company shall adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting to a date that is at least five Business Days after the expiration of the Response Period (but not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Outside Date).

Section

5.4 Pre-Acquisition Reorganization

(a)

The Company agrees that, upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, the Company will and will cause its subsidiaries to use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to effect such reorganizations of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ business, operations and assets and the integration of other affiliated businesses of the Company as Purchaser may reasonably request (each a “Pre-Acquisition Reorganization”) and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser and its advisors to determine the nature of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganizations that might be undertaken and the manner in which they most effectively could be undertaken. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that all elements of such Pre-Acquisition Reorganizations shall, in the opinion of the Company acting reasonably:

(i)

not impede, delay or prevent completion of the Arrangement or the ability of Purchaser to obtain any financing required by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(viii)

not require the Company or any subsidiary to contravene any applicable Laws, their respective organizational documents or any Contract;

(ix)

not result in any Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, any securityholder of the Company incrementally greater than the Taxes or other consequences to such security holder in connection with the consummation of the Arrangement in the absence of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and for greater certainty and without limitation, adverse Tax or other consequence includes any Tax or other consequence that would not have arisen but for the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization;

(x)

not require any filings with, notifications to or approvals of any Governmental Entity or third party (other than obtaining such Tax rulings, and filing such Tax elections or notifications and pre-filings or pre-clearances with corporations branches or similar Governmental Entities);

(xi)

not require a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or its subsidiaries to, in connection with a Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, take any action in any capacity other than as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or its subsidiaries, as the case may be;

The Parties will seek to have the steps and transactions contemplated under any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization made effective no earlier than the Business Day prior to the Effective Date but in any event after the Final Order is obtained (but if before the Effective Time, after Purchaser will have waived or confirmed that all conditions referred to in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 have been satisfied, and confirmed in writing that it is prepared to promptly and without condition proceed to effect the Arrangement).

(c)

Purchaser shall upon request by the Company advance all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries in connection with any actions taken by the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries or, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries for all reasonable fees and expenses (including any professional fees and expenses) and Taxes incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries in effecting any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. Purchaser shall indemnify the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective Representatives for any and all Taxes, liabilities, losses, loss of opportunity, damages, claims, costs, expenses (including any professional fees and expenses), interest awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of their co-operation or assistance with or participation in any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization or in the reversing or unwinding of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization in the event the Arrangement does not proceed. For greater certainty, the Company shall have no liability arising as a result of, or the failure of Purchaser to realize any benefit from, any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.

by Purchaser, pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii)(B) [Change in Recommendation];

(ii)

by the Company, pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv)(A) [Superior Proposal]; or

(iii)

by (i) the Company or Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii)(B) [Failure of to obtain Requisite Approval], (ii) Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii)(A) [Effective Time not prior to Outside Date], or (iii) Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iii)(A) [Company Breach of Representation or Warranty or Failure to Perform Covenant]:

(A)

following the date hereof and prior to the Company Meeting, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal is made, proposed or publicly announced by any person (other than Purchaser, Hydrogen Company or any of their affiliates or any person acting jointly or in concert with any of the foregoing);

(B)

such Acquisition Proposal has not expired or been publicly withdrawn prior to the Company Meeting; and

(C)

within nine months following the date of such termination, (x) such Acquisition Proposal is consummated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (y) within six months following the date of such termination, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions, enters into a Contract (other than a confidentiality or standstill agreement) in respect of such Acquisition Proposal and such Acquisition Proposal is later consummated (within twelve months after such termination).

For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.1, except that references to “20% or more” shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more”.

(b)

If a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(iv)(A) [Change of Recommendation or Superior Proposal], the Termination Fee shall be paid prior to or concurrently with the occurrence of such Termination Fee Event.

Any Termination Fee shall be paid (less any applicable withholding Tax) by the Company to Purchaser (or as Purchaser may direct by notice in writing), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser. For greater certainty, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, if at all.

(c)

Each Party acknowledges that the Termination Fee is a payment of liquidated damages that is a genuine pre-estimate of the damages the affected Party or Parties will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and the resultant termination of this Agreement and is not a penalty. Each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defense that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive.

Section

Purchaser shall pay all fees, costs and expenses payable in connection with the Controlled Goods Filing and the Formal Valuation. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, the Parties agree that each Party shall pay all other costs, fees and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the Arrangement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company, Parent, nor Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of income Taxes imposed upon a securityholder of the Company which result from the transactions contemplated herein.

This Agreement shall be governed, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, and shall be construed and treated in all respects as an Ontario contract. Each Party hereby irrevocably attorns to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the Province of Ontario in respect of all matters arising under and in relation to this Agreement and the Arrangement and agrees that all claims in respect of any such actions, application, reference or other proceeding shall be heard and determined in such Ontario courts. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defence of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action, application or proceeding. Each Party consents to any action, application, reference or other proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement being heard in Toronto and, in particular, being placed on the Commercial List of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

Section

11.5 Counterparts, Execution

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

Section

11.6 Amendments

This Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the Company Meeting but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties, and any such amendment may, subject to the Interim Order and Final Order and applicable Laws, without limitation:

(a)

change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the Parties;

(b)

modify any representation or warranty contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto;

(c)

modify any of the covenants herein contained and waive or modify performance of any of the obligations of the Parties; and/or

(d)

modify any mutual conditions precedent herein contained.

Section

11.7 Waiver

Any Party may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the other Parties, (b) waive compliance, except as provided herein, with any of the other Parties’ agreements or the fulfillment of any conditions to its own obligations contained herein, or (c) waive inaccuracies in any of the other Parties’ representations or warranties contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Parties; provided, however, that any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all Parties to be bound by such waiver and, unless otherwise provided in the written waiver, will be limited to the specific breach or condition waived.

Section

11.8 Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance

(a)

Upon termination of this Agreement under circumstances where Purchaser is entitled to the Termination Fee, and such fee has been paid in full, Purchaser shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise (including, an order for damages or specific performance) and Purchaser shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect or punitive damages, against the Company or any of its Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In no event shall the Company be obligated to pay an amount in respect of the termination of this Agreement that is, in aggregate, in excess of the Termination Fee. The receipt of payment by either Parent or Purchaser shall be deemed to be receipt of such payment by both of them, as applicable.

(b)

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which, subject to Section 10.4 and Section 11.8(a) money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement, without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at Law or in equity. Nothing in Section 10.4 or this Section 11.8 shall relieve or have the effect of relieving any Party in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by the other Party as a result of fraud or a willful breach of this Agreement, subject to the limitation on damages set out in Section 11.8(a).

Section

11.9 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Section

11.10 Third Parties

(a)

Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any other person, any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement other than (a) as specifically provided in Section 2.4(d), Section 5.4(c), Section 6.1 and Section 11.11, (b) the rights of the Company to pursue claims for damages and other relief on behalf of Company Shareholders for Purchaser’s breach of the terms of this Agreement, and (c) after the Effective Date, the rights of Company Shareholders to receive the Consideration per Company Share; provided however that the rights granted pursuant to clause (b) shall be enforceable on behalf of such Company Shareholders only by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, it being understood and agreed that any and all interest in such claims shall attach to the Company Shares and subsequently trade and transfer therewith and, consequently, damages recovered or received by the Company with respect to such claims (net of expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith) may, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, be (A) distributed, in whole or in part, by the Company to the Company Shareholders as of any record date determined by the Company, which determination may be made by the Company as of any date or (B) retained by the Company for use and benefit of the Company on behalf of its shareholders in any manner the Company deems fit. To the extent necessary to give effect to clauses (b) and (c), Purchaser agree that all of its covenants, representations and warranties are in favour of the Company in its own right and as agent and trustee for the Company Shareholders.

(b)

The provisions of Section 2.4(d), Section 5.4(c) and Section 6.1 shall survive the consummation of the Arrangement and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Representative and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns and, for such purpose, the Company hereby confirms that it is acting as agent and trustee on behalf of the individuals specified in Section 2.4(d), Section 5.4(c), and Section 6.1, as applicable; provided, however, that no approval of any beneficiary of such trust will be required in connection with any amendment or variation of Section 2.4(d), Section 5.4(c) and Section 6.1 prior to the Effective Date. Parent will ensure that Purchaser, Company or any successor or assignor has adequate resources to satisfy its obligations in Section 2.4(d), and Section 5.4(c).

Section

No director or officer of the Company shall have any personal liability whatsoever to Parent or Purchaser under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection with this Agreement or the Arrangement by or on behalf of the Company. No director or officer of Parent or Purchaser shall have any personal liability whatsoever to the Company under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection with this Agreement or the Arrangement by or on behalf of Purchaser. This Section 11.11 shall survive the consummation of the Arrangement and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each director, officer or employee of the Company, Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, and each of such Parties and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Company, Purchaser and Parent and each of their successors and assigns and, for such purpose, each of the Company, Purchaser and Parent hereby confirms that it is acting as agent and trustee on behalf of their respective persons; provided, however, that no approval of any beneficiary of such trust will be required in connection with any amendment or variation of this Section 11.11 prior to the Effective Date.

(e)

Where required by law, the Purchaser will promptly notify the individuals to whom the Transferred Information relates that the transactions contemplated hereby have taken place and that the Transferred Information has been disclosed to Purchaser.
