(iii)
|
withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Jet, the approval or recommendation of the Jetlines Board or any committee thereof of this Agreement or the Amalgamation;
|
(iv)
|
approve, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal for Jetlines (it being understood that publicly taking no position or a neutral position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of which a confidentiality agreement has been executed in accordance with Section 7.1(d) shall not be considered a violation of this Subsection 7.1(a)(iv)); or
|
(v)
|
accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, agreement, arrangement or undertaking related to any Acquisition Proposal,
|
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Subsection 7.1(a) or any other provision of this Agreement shall prevent the Jetlines Board from, and the Jetlines Board shall be permitted to engage in discussions or negotiations with, or respond to enquiries from any Person that has made a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Jetlines Board has determined constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, or provide information pursuant to Subsection 7.1(d) to any Person where the requirements of that Section are met.
(b)
|
Jetlines shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Jet) with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal and, in connection therewith, Jetlines will discontinue access to any of its confidential information (and not establish or allow access to any of its confidential information, or any data room, virtual or otherwise) and shall as soon as possible request the return or destruction of all confidential information provided in connection therewith to the extent such information has not already been returned or destroyed. Jetlines agrees not to release any third party from any confidentiality, non-solicitation or standstill agreement to which such third party is a party, or terminate, modify, amend or waive the terms thereof and Jetlines undertakes to enforce all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it has entered into prior to the date hereof or enter into after the date hereof.
|
(c)
|
From and after the date of this Agreement, Jetlines shall immediately provide notice to Jet of any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal or any amendments to the foregoing or any request for non-public information relating to Jetlines in connection with such an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Jetlines by any Person that informs Jetlines, any member of the Jetlines Board that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition
|
66
Proposal. Such notice to Jet shall be made, from time to time, first immediately orally and then promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) in writing and shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry or contact, all material terms thereof and such other details of the proposal, inquiry or contact known to Jetlines, and shall include copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request or any amendment to any of the foregoing. Jetlines shall keep Jet promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such Acquisition Proposal, offer, inquiry or request and will respond promptly to all inquiries by Jet with respect thereto.
(d)
|
If the Jetlines Board receives a request for material non-public information from a Person who proposes to Jetlines an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, Jetlines may contact the Person making the Acquisition Proposal and its representatives solely for the purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and the likelihood of its consummation so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal; provided that Jetlines shall promptly provide Jet with copies of all correspondence and information provided to or received from such Person. If: (x) the Jetlines Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; and (y) in the opinion of the Jetlines Board, acting in good faith and on advice from their outside legal advisors, the failure to provide such party with access to information regarding Jetlines would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Jetlines Board, then, and only in such case, Jetlines may provide such Person with access to information regarding Jetlines, subject to the execution of a confidentiality and standstill agreement which is customary in such situations; provided that Jetlines sends a copy of any such confidentiality and standstill agreement to Jet promptly upon its execution and Jet is provided with a list of, and, at the request of Jet, copies of, the information provided to such Person and immediately provided with access to similar information to which such Person was provided.
|
(e)
|
Jetlines agrees that it will not accept, approve or enter into any agreement (a "Jetlines Proposed Agreement"), other than a confidentiality agreement as contemplated by Subsection 7.1(d), with any Person providing for or to facilitate any Acquisition Proposal unless:
|
(i)
|
the Jetlines Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;
|
(ii)
|
the Jetlines Meeting has not occurred;
|
(iii)
|
Jetlines has complied with Subsections 7.1(a) through 7.1(d) inclusive;
|
(iv)
|
Jetlines has provided Jet with a notice in writing that there is a Superior Proposal together with all documentation related to and detailing the Superior Proposal, including a copy of any Jetlines Proposed Agreement
|
67
relating to such Superior Proposal, and a written notice from the Jetlines Board regarding the value in financial terms that the Jetlines Board has in consultation with its financial advisors determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under the Superior Proposal, such documents to be so provided to Jet not less than five business days prior to the proposed acceptance, approval, recommendation or execution of the Jetlines Proposed Agreement by Jetlines;
(v)
|
Five business days shall have elapsed from the date Jet received the notice and documentation referred to in Subsection 7.1(e)(iv) from Jetlines and, if Jet has proposed to amend the terms of the Amalgamation in accordance with Subsection 7.1(f), the Jetlines Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Amalgamation by Jet; and
|
(vi)
|
Jetlines concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv)(E);
|
and Jetlines further agrees that it will not withdraw, modify or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to Jet the approval or recommendation of the Amalgamation, nor accept, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal unless the requirements of this Section 7.1(e)(i) through 7.1(e)(v)have been satisfied.
(f)
|
Jetlines acknowledges and agrees that, during the five business day periods referred to in Subsections 7.1(e)(iv) and 7.1(e)(v) or such longer period as Jetlines may approve for such purpose, Jet shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Amalgamation and Jetlines shall co-operate with Jet with respect thereto, including negotiating in good faith with Jet to enable Jet to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Amalgamation as Jet deems appropriate and as would enable Jet to proceed with the Amalgamation and any related transactions on such adjusted terms. The Jetlines Board will review any proposal by Jet to amend the terms of the Amalgamation in order to determine, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and consistent with Subsection 7.1(a), whether Jet's proposal to amend the Amalgamation would result in the Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Amalgamation.
|
(g)

The Jetlines Board shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Amalgamation by press release after: (x) any Acquisition Proposal which the Jetlines Board determines not to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or made; or (y) the Jetlines Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Amalgamation would result in the Acquisition Proposal which has been publicly announced or made not being a Superior Proposal, and Jet has so amended the terms of the Amalgamation. Jet and its counsel shall be given a
|
68
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Jetlines, acting reasonably.
(h)

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Jetlines Board from responding through a directors' circular or otherwise as required by applicable Securities Laws to an Acquisition Proposal that it determines is not a Superior Proposal, or from withdrawing, modifying or changing its recommendation as a result of Jet having suffered a Jet Material Adverse Effect. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Jetlines Board from making any disclosure to the securityholders of Jetlines if the Jetlines Board, acting in good faith and upon the advice of its legal advisors, shall have first determined that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Jetlines Board or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the Jetlines Board shall be permitted to make such disclosure, the Jetlines Board shall not be permitted to make a Jetlines Change in Recommendation, other than as permitted by Section 7.1(e) or the first sentence of this paragraph. Jet and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such disclosure, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Jetlines, acting reasonably.

(i)
|
Jetlines acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 7.1.
|
(j)
|
Jetlines shall ensure that the officers, directors and employees of and any investment bankers or other advisors or representatives retained by Jetlines in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are aware of the provisions of this Section, and Jetlines shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 7.1 by such officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, advisors or representatives.
|
(k)
|
If Jetlines provides Jet with the notice of an Acquisition Proposal contemplated in this Section 7.1 on a date that is less than seven calendar days prior to the Jetlines Meeting, if requested by Jet, Jetlines shall adjourn the Jetlines Meeting to a date that is not less than seven calendar days and not more than 10 calendar days after the date of such notice, provided, however, that the Jetlines Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date later than the seventh (7) business day prior to the Outside Date.

7.2
|
Jet Non-Solicitation
|
(a)
|
On and after the date of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Jet shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, advisor, representative, agent or otherwise:
|
69
(i)
|
make, solicit, assist, initiate, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers from any other Person (including any of its officers or employees) relating to any Acquisition Proposal for Jet, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek to do any of the foregoing;
|
(ii)
|
engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any information with respect to, or otherwise co-operate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to make or complete any Acquisition Proposal for Jet, provided that, for greater certainty, Jet may advise any Person making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior Proposal when the Jet Board has so determined;
|
(iii)
|
withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Jetlines, the approval or recommendation of the Jet Board or any committee thereof of this Agreement or the Amalgamation;
|
(iv)
|
approve, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal involving Jet (it being understood that publicly taking no position or a neutral position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of which a confidentiality agreement has been executed in accordance with Section 7.2(d) shall not be considered a violation of this Subsection 7.2(a)(iv)); or
|
(v)
|
accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, agreement, arrangement or undertaking related to any Acquisition Proposal involving Jet,
|
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Subsection 7.2(a) or any other provision of this Agreement shall prevent the Jet Board from, and the Jet Board shall be permitted to engage in discussions or negotiations with, or respond to enquiries from any Person that has made a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Jet board has determined constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, or provide information pursuant to Subsection 7.2(d) to any Person where the requirements of that Section are met.
(b)
|
Jet shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Jetlines) with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal and, in connection therewith, Jet will discontinue access to any of its confidential information (and not establish or allow access to any of its confidential information, or any data room, virtual or otherwise) and shall as soon
|
70
as possible request the return or destruction of all confidential information provided in connection therewith to the extent such information has not already been returned or destroyed. Jet agrees not to release any third party from any confidentiality, non-solicitation or standstill agreement to which such third party is a party, or terminate, modify, amend or waive the terms thereof and Jet undertakes to enforce all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it has entered into prior to the date hereof or enter into after the date hereof.
(c)
|
From and after the date of this Agreement, Jet shall immediately provide notice to Jetlines of any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal or any amendments to the foregoing or any request for non-public information relating to Jet in connection with such an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Jet by any Person that informs Jet, any member of the Jet Board that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice to Jetlines shall be made, from time to time, first immediately orally and then promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) in writing and shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry or contact, all material terms thereof and such other details of the proposal, inquiry or contact known to Jet, and shall include copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request or any amendment to any of the foregoing. Jet shall keep Jetlines promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such Acquisition Proposal, offer, inquiry or request and will respond promptly to all inquiries by Jet with respect thereto.
|
(d)
|
If the Jet Board receives a request for material non-public information from a Person who proposes to Jet an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, Jet may contact the Person making the Acquisition Proposal and its representatives solely for the purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and the likelihood of its consummation so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal; provided that Jet shall promptly provide Jetlines with copies of all correspondence and information provided to or received from such Person. If: (x) the Jet Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; and (y) in the opinion of the Jet Board, acting in good faith and on advice from their outside legal advisors, the failure to provide such party with access to information regarding Jet would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Jet Board, then, and only in such case, Jet may provide such Person with access to information regarding Jet, subject to the execution of a confidentiality and standstill agreement which is customary in such situations; provided that Jet sends a copy of any such confidentiality and standstill agreement to Jetlines promptly upon its execution and Jetlines is provided with a list of, and, at the request of Jetlines, copies of, the information provided to such Person and immediately provided with access to similar information to which such Person was provided.
|
71
(e)
|
Jet agrees that it will not accept, approve or enter into any agreement (a "Jet Proposed Agreement"), other than a confidentiality agreement as contemplated by Subsection 7.2(d), with any Person providing for or to facilitate any Acquisition Proposal unless:
|
(i)
|
the Jet Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;
|
(ii)
|
the Jet Meeting has not occurred;
|
(iii)
|
Jet has complied with Subsections 7.2(a) through 7.2(d) inclusive;
|
(iv)
|
Jet has provided Jetlines with a notice in writing that there is a Superior Proposal together with all documentation related to and detailing the Superior Proposal, including a copy of any Jet Proposed Agreement relating to such Superior Proposal, and a written notice from the Jet Board regarding the value in financial terms that the Jet Board has in consultation with its financial advisors determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under the Superior Proposal, such documents to be so provided to Jetlines not less than five business days prior to the proposed acceptance, approval, recommendation or execution of the Jet Proposed Agreement by Jet.
|
(v)
|
Five business days shall have elapsed from the date Jetlines received the notice and documentation referred to in Subsection 7.2(e)(iv) from Jet and, if Jetlines has proposed to amend the terms of the Amalgamation in accordance with Subsection 7.2(f), the Jet Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Amalgamation by Jetlines; and
|
(vi)
|
Jet concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iii);
|
and Jet further agrees that it will not withdraw, modify or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to Jetlines the approval or recommendation of the Amalgamation, nor accept, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal unless the requirements of this Section 7.2(e)(i) through 7.2(e)(v) have been satisfied.
(f)
|
Jet acknowledges and agrees that, during the five business day periods referred to in Subsections 7.2(e)(iv) and 7.2(e)(v) or such longer period as Jet may approve for such purpose, Jetlines shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Amalgamation and Jet shall co-operate with Jetlines with respect thereto, including negotiating in good faith with Jetlines to enable Jetlines to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Amalgamation as Jet deems appropriate and as would enable Jet to proceed with the Amalgamation and any related
|
72
transactions on such adjusted terms. The Jet Board will review any proposal by Jetlines to amend the terms of the Amalgamation in order to determine, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and consistent with Subsection 7.2(a), whether Jetlines's proposal to amend the Amalgamation would result in the Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Amalgamation.
(g)
|
The Jet Board shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Amalgamation by press release after: (x) any Acquisition Proposal which the Jet Board determines not to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or made; or (y) the Jet Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Amalgamation would result in the Acquisition Proposal which has been publicly announced or made not being a Superior Proposal, and Jetlines has so amended the terms of the Amalgamation. Jetlines and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Jet, acting reasonably.
|
(h)
|
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Jet Board from responding through a directors' circular or otherwise as required by applicable Securities Laws to an Acquisition Proposal that it determines is not a Superior Proposal, or from withdrawing, modifying or changing its recommendation as a result of Jetlines having suffered a Jetlines Material Adverse Effect. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Jet Board from making any disclosure to the securityholders of Jet if the Jet Board, acting in good faith and upon the advice of its legal advisors, shall have first determined that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Jet Board or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the Jet Board shall be permitted to make such disclosure, the Jet Board shall not be permitted to make a Jet Change in Recommendation, other than as permitted by Section 7.2(e) or the first sentence of this paragraph. Jetlines and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such disclosure, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Jet, acting reasonably.
|
(i)
|
Jet acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 7.2.
|
(j)
|
Jet shall ensure that the officers, directors and employees of Jet and any investment bankers or other advisors or representatives retained by Jet in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are aware of the provisions of this Section, and Jet shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 7.2 by such officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, advisors or representatives.
|
73
(k)
|
If Jet provides Jetlines with the notice of an Acquisition Proposal contemplated in this Section 7.2 on a date that is less than seven calendar days prior to the Jet Meeting, if requested by Jetlines, Jet shall adjourn the Jet Meeting to a date that is not less than seven calendar days and not more than 10 calendar days after the date of such notice, provided, however, that the Jet Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date later than the seventh (7) business day prior to the Outside Date.

7.4
|
Notices of Certain Events
|
(a)
|
Each Party will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Effective Time of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:
