continuing covenants
11.1 | Participation Right |
The Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Vendor will have the right to participate in any future equity financings by the Purchaser to maintain the Vendor's then current equity position in the Purchaser on terms no less favourable than those offered to other investors in such offerings (the “Participation Right”). The Purchaser shall give the Vendor notice in writing of any proposed equity financing on or prior to the date on which any such equity financing is announced, and in any event not less than twenty Business Days before such equity financing is scheduled to close, together with the form of subscription agreement (if any) for such equity financing and any other documentation required to be completed by the Vendor as a subscriber to such equity financing. In order to exercise the Participation Right, the Vendor must return the completed subscription agreement (if required) and related subscription documentation, together with certified funds for the aggregate subscription amount, to the Purchaser not less than two Business Days before the scheduled closing date of the equity financing specified in the original notice (provided that, if the scheduled closing date is extended, the date on which the Vendor must deliver its documents and subscription funds shall be extended for the same period), failing which the Participation Right in respect of that equity financing shall expire, and the Participation Right shall then continue to apply in respect of any future equity financings. The Participation Right will expire at such time as the Vendor, directly or indirectly, holds less than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Purchaser, calculated on a non-diluted basis.
- 34 - |
11.2 | Voting Agreement |
The Vendor will enter into a voting agreement to vote all of the common shares of the Purchaser the Vendor holds in favour of management’s proposals on matters of routine business (being the election of directors and the appointment of auditors of the Purchaser) at any meeting of the shareholders of the Purchaser held within 24 months following the Closing Date.
11.3 | Right of Placement |
For as long as the Vendor holds at least 9.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Purchaser, if the Vendor desires to sell shares of the Purchaser held by it representing at least 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Purchaser (the “Sale Shares”), the Purchaser shall have a right to place such Sale Shares in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) | where the Vendor intends to sell Sale Shares it shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of its intentions. Such notice shall state the number of Sale Shares, the price and all other pertinent terms and conditions of the proposed sale. On receipt of such notice, the Purchaser shall have five business days to notify the Vendor in writing whether it elects to place such Sale Shares at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the notice. If the Purchaser elects, the sale of the Sale Shares by the Purchaser for the account of the Vendor shall be consummated promptly and in any event within ten business days after notice of such election is delivered to the Vendor; |
(b) | if the Purchaser fails to make an election within the period provided for in Section 11.3(a) above, the Vendor shall have 30 days to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the sale of the Sale Shares itself at a price no less favourable to the Vendor then that proposed by the Vendor in its notice to the Purchaser as provided for in (a) above, but in any event at a price no less than 80% of the price proposed by the Vendor in such notice, failing which the right of placement of the Purchaser as provided for herein shall be deemed to be revised. |
11.4 | Notices relating to the Projects |
From the date hereof, to the time of completion of the transfer to the Purchaser of the Assets, the Vendor shall provide to the Purchaser, within a reasonable period of time, copies of any notices or other correspondence that the Vendor or any of its subsidiaries receives from any Person in respect of the Assets, and the Vendor shall copy the Purchaser on any subsequent correspondence relating to same.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are completed, and in compliance with Section 12.2, the Vendor covenants and agrees with the Purchaser to indemnify the Purchaser and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns against all Proceedings, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees on a solicitor and own client basis) suffered or incurred by the Purchaser, directly or indirectly (the “Purchaser’s Losses”), by reason of or arising out of any of the following:
(a) | any warranties or representations on the part of the Vendor hereunder being untrue; |
(b) | a breach of any agreement, term or covenant on the part of the Vendor made or to be observed or performed under this Agreement; or |
(c) | any Purchaser’s Losses, legal causes of which arise until the Closing Date and arising from: |
(i) | all Taxes and all interest and penalties thereon due and payable to all applicable Government Authorities; or |
(ii) | any Proceedings pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Vendor, threatened against, or relating to the Vendor and Judgments outstanding against the Vendor. |
12.2 | Claims Under Vendor’s Indemnities |
If any claim is made by any Person against the Purchaser in respect of which the Purchaser may incur or suffer damages, losses, costs or expenses, directly or indirectly, that might reasonably be considered to be subject to the indemnification obligations of the Vendor in Section 12.1, the Purchaser shall notify the Vendor, where indemnification is sought under Section 12.1 (in this Section 12.2, as applicable, the “Indemnitor”) as soon as reasonably practicable of the nature of such claim and the Indemnitor shall be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such claim. The Purchaser’s omission to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability which the Indemnitor may have under the indemnity in Section 10.1, except only to the extent that any such delay in, or failure to give, notice as herein required prejudices the defence, settlement or mitigation of a claim or results in any material increase in the Purchaser’s Losses. The defence of any such claim (whether assumed by the Indemnitor or not) shall be through experienced and competent legal counsel, and shall be conducted in a manner acceptable to the Purchaser and the Indemnitor, acting reasonably, and no settlement may be made or permitted to be made, as applicable, by the Indemnitor or the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the other. If the Indemnitor assumes the defence of any claim then:
- 36 - |
(a) | the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s counsel shall co-operate with the Indemnitor and its counsel in the course of the defence, such co-operation to include providing or making available to the Indemnitor and its counsel documents and information and witnesses for attendance at examinations for discovery and trials; |
(b) | the reasonable legal fees and disbursements and other costs of such defence shall, from and after such assumption, be borne by the Indemnitor on a solicitor and own client basis; and |
(c) | if the Purchaser retains additional counsel to act on its behalf, the Indemnitor and its counsel shall co-operate with the Purchaser and its counsel, such co-operation to include providing or making available to the Purchaser and its counsel documents and information and witnesses for attendance at examinations for discovery and trials; provided that all fees and disbursements of such additional counsel shall be paid by the Purchaser on a solicitor and own client basis, unless: |
(i) | the Indemnitor consents to the retention of such counsel by the Purchaser at the Indemnitor's expense; or |
(ii) | the Indemnitor and the Purchaser are or become parties to the same action, and the representation of all parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest, |
in which case all fees and disbursements of the Purchaser’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitor on a solicitor and own client basis.
If the Indemnitor has not assumed the defence of a claim and employed counsel therefor within 30 days of receiving notice of such claim, all fees and disbursements of the Purchaser’s counsel in respect of such claim shall be paid by the Indemnitor on a solicitor and own client basis. If the Indemnitor, having elected to assume the defence of any claim, thereafter fails to defend such claim within a reasonable time and with reasonable diligence, the Purchaser shall be entitled to assume the defence of the claim and the Indemnitor shall be bound by the results obtained by the Purchaser with respect to such claim.
In the event that any claim is of a nature such that the Purchaser is required by applicable Law or any Judgment to make payment to any Person or Government Authority with respect to such claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or legal proceedings, the Purchaser may make such payment and the Indemnitor shall, forthwith after demand by the Purchaser, reimburse the Purchaser for any such claim. If the amount of any liability of the Purchaser under the claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnitor to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall promptly pay the amount of such difference to the Indemnitor. The Purchaser shall not knowingly permit any right of appeal in respect of any claim to terminate without giving the Indemnitor reasonable notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to contest such claim.
- 37 - |
12.3 | Indemnification of Vendor by Purchaser |
Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are completed, and in compliance with Section 12.4, the Purchaser covenants and agrees with the Vendor to indemnify the Vendor and its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns against all Proceedings, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including legal fees on a solicitor and own client basis) suffered or incurred by the Vendor, directly or indirectly (the “Vendor’s Losses”), by reason of or arising out of any of the following:
(a) | any warranties or representations on the part of the Purchaser hereunder being untrue; |
(b) | a breach of any agreement, term or covenant on the part of the Purchaser made or to be observed or performed under this Agreement; or |
(c) | any Vendor’s Losses, legal causes of which arise up until the Closing Date and arising from any Proceedings pending or, to the best of the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against, or relating to the Purchaser and Judgments outstanding against the Purchaser. |
12.4 | Claims Under Purchaser’s Indemnities |
If any claim is made by any Person against the Vendor in respect of which the Vendor may incur or suffer damages, losses, costs or expenses, directly or indirectly, that might reasonably be considered to be subject to the indemnification obligations of the Purchaser in Section 12.3, the Vendor shall notify the Purchaser, where indemnification is sought under Section 12.3 (in this Section 12.4, as applicable, the “Indemnitor”) as soon as reasonably practicable of the nature of such claim and the Indemnitor shall be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such claim. The Vendor’s omission to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any liability which the Indemnitor may have under the indemnity in Section 10.1, except only to the extent that any such delay in, or failure to give, notice as herein required prejudices the defence, settlement or mitigation of a claim or results in any material increase in the Vendor’s Losses. The defence of any such claim (whether assumed by the Indemnitor or not) shall be through experienced and competent legal counsel, and shall be conducted in a manner, acceptable to the Vendor and the Indemnitor, acting reasonably, and no settlement may be made or permitted to be made, as applicable, by the Indemnitor or the Vendor without the prior written consent of the others. If the Indemnitor assumes the defence of any claim then:
(a) | the Vendor and the Vendor’s counsel shall co-operate with the Indemnitor and their counsel in the course of the defence, such co-operation to include providing or making available to the Indemnitor and their counsel documents and information and witnesses for attendance at examinations for discovery and trials; |
(b) | the reasonable legal fees and disbursements and other costs of such defence shall, from and after such assumption, be borne by the Indemnitor on a solicitor and own client basis; and |
- 38 - |
(c) | if the Vendor retains additional counsel to act on its behalf, the Indemnitor and their counsel shall co-operate with the Vendor and its counsel, such co-operation to include providing or making available to the Vendor and its counsel documents and information and witnesses for attendance at examinations for discovery and trials; provided that all fees and disbursements of such additional counsel shall be paid by the Vendor on a solicitor and own client basis, unless: |
(i) | the Indemnitor consents to the retention of such counsel by the Vendor at the Purchasers’ expense; or |
(ii) | the Indemnitor and the Vendor are or become parties to the same action, and the representation of all parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to a conflict of interest, |
in which case all fees and disbursements of the Vendor’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnitor on a solicitor and own client basis.
If the Indemnitor has not assumed the defence of a claim and employed counsel therefor within 30 days of receiving notice of such claim, all fees and disbursements of the Vendor’s counsel in respect of such claim shall be paid by the Indemnitor on a solicitor and own client basis. If the Indemnitor, having elected to assume the defence of any claim, thereafter fails to defend such claim within a reasonable time and with reasonable diligence, the Vendor shall be entitled to assume the defence of the claim and the Indemnitor shall be bound by the results obtained by the Vendor with respect to such claim.
In the event that any claim is of a nature such that the Vendor is required by applicable Law or any Judgment to make payment to any Person or Government Authority with respect to such claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or legal proceedings, the Vendor may make such payment and the Indemnitor shall, forthwith after demand by the Vendor, reimburse the Vendor for any such claim. If the amount of any liability of the Vendor under the claim in respect of which such a payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount which was paid by the Indemnitor to the Vendor, the Vendor shall promptly pay the amount of such difference to the Indemnitor. The Vendor shall not knowingly permit any right of appeal in respect of any claim to terminate without giving the Indemnitor reasonable notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to contest such claim.
- 39 - |
12.5 | Environmental Indemnity |
The Purchaser shall be responsible for and will indemnify and hold harmless the Vendor and its directors, officers, servants, employees and agents (collectively, the "Vendor's Representatives") from and against all Environmental Liabilities, including but not limited to those arising or incurred as a result of any and all Contaminants at, in, on or under the Xxxxxx Project, or that have migrated from the Xxxxxx Project, that occurred before, at or after the Closing, whether known or unknown. The Vendor shall hold in trust for the Vendor's Representatives the benefit of the indemnification obligations owed to them by the Purchaser pursuant hereto.
Indemnification of the Purchaser hereunder for such Environmental Liabilities extends to all costs and expenses reasonably necessary to comply with or defend against the applicable Environmental Laws, or to remediate the Contaminants to the standards applicable under Environmental Laws as determined by the appropriate Government Authority whether or not remediation of the Contaminants is required by applicable Laws or Environmental Laws, including reasonable legal and other professional costs and any fines or other losses payable.
For greater certainty, it is agreed that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify any Person pursuant to this Section 12.5 for any Environmental Liability with respect to which the Purchaser has a claim against the Vendor for breach of a representation or warranty provided by the Vendor pursuant to Section 3.1.

(b) | A claim which is based upon the indemnity provided by Section 12.5 may be brought by the Vendor at any time following the Closing Date, and notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, such right to bring an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 12.5 will survive the Closing and the transfers of the Assets to the Purchaser pursuant hereto. |

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
1. | Xxxxxx Inspection 2012 |
On July 11, 2012, the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (the "MNDM") inspected the Xxxxxx Mine and prepared a Mine Rehabilitation Inspection Report (the "Report"). Pursuant to the Report, the MNDM made the following recommendations with respect to the Xxxxxx Mine:
a) | The status of two historic mine openings on the property remain unclear. These suspected openings include a second raise in the 2-15 Stope area and a raise in close proximity to the No. 2 Shaft. Provisions for locating and rehabilitating these openings will be required in a CPA. |
b) | Although Xxxxxx Resources has made efforts to determine the long term stability of crown pillars on the Xxxxxx Mine site, further work is required to ensure that crown pillars on site are long term stable. Additional field work via bore hole camera logging and stope cavity measurements was recommended and was planned for 2011, however this work was not completed and has been deferred to 2013. This work should be carried out in accordance with the requirements outlined in Part 3 of the Mine rehabilitation Code. |
c) | In the letter dated April 12, 2013 from Xxxxxx XxxXxx, MNDM indicated that it would consider a payment schedule for financial assurance related to the required closure plan amendment. This payment schedule is a payment of $884,645 due July 1, 2013 and $884,645 due November 1, 2013. This payment schedule needs to be incorporated in Section 13 of a revised CPA, which will be due on November 1, 2013. We have undertaken a cursory review of your CPA, submitted back on August 12, 2011 and have determined that Section 14.0 Aboriginal Peoples Consultation is deficient. The information presented in this section and Appendix 8 is inadequate to enable us to determine if Lac Seul First Nation, Wabauskang First Nation and the Metis Nation of Ontario have been sufficiently consulted on this project. Therefore, the August 2011 CPA was returned to you as a part of the April 12, 2013 letter. |
F-1 |
d) | As of April 1, 2013 the Mining Act and Regulation 240/00 section 8.1(1)(a) requires the proponent to give notice to the Director by submitting a Notice of Project Status ("NPS") or a Notice of Material Change ("NMC") as appropriate and 8.1(1)(b) conduct consultation with Aboriginal communities as directed. Please provide an updated NPS by May 15, 2013 along with an updated project schedule. Upon receipt of the updated NPS, you will be provided direction on which aboriginal communities to consult with regarding the Xxxxxx Advanced Exploration Project. |
As recommended by the MNDM, the Vendor prepared a NPS dated May 1, 2013 and sent the NPS to the Director in Sudbury.
2. | 2013 PCB Storage Site Inspection Report |
