Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser Observer will not attend any portion of a meeting of the Board of Directors that will involve discussion of a matter in which the Company has or may have a conflict of interest with the Purchaser solely in the Purchaser’s capacity as the holder of the Note or as a counterparty to the Commercial Transactions.

(b) The Purchaser will cause the Purchaser Observer to enter into a confidentiality agreement with the Company in in the form attached hereto as Schedule F, and to agree to be bound by the Company’s policies, including the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy.

The Company and/or its Affiliate(s) shall, in good faith, work together with the Purchaser and/or its Affiliate(s) to evaluate cost saving synergies as well as other production efficiencies and shall use best efforts to enter into definitive agreements relating to the Commercial Transactions, to be effective prior to or as of the Closing Time.

Section 4.21 Intentionally Omitted

Section 4.22 Seller Waiver of Event of Default

The Seller agrees to forbear from taking any actions with respect to the Event of Default arising solely pursuant to Section 9(k) of the Note (the “Permitted Event of Default”) until the Closing Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7.

Section 4.23 Exercise Procedures.

The form of Exercise Notice (as defined in the Amendment Right) included in the Amendment Right sets forth the totality of the procedures required of the Seller in order to exercise the Amendment Right. No legal opinion or other information or instructions, other than as included in the Amendment Right (including the confirmation by the Seller that, as of the date of such exercise and for the period of 90 days prior to such exercise, the Seller is not an affiliate (as defined

- 48 -

in Rule 144) of the Company) shall be required of the Seller in order to exercise the Amendment Right. The Company shall honor exercises of the Amendment Right and shall deliver the Amendment Right Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Amendment Right. Without limiting the preceding sentences, provided there is no change in registration or other matters which would necessitate an original or medallion guaranteed security, no ink-original Exercise Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Exercise Notice form be required in order to exercise the Amendment Right.

Section 4.24 Register; Transfer Agent Instructions

(a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Seller), a register for the Amendment Right in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Amendment Right has been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), and the number of Amendment Right Shares issuable upon exercise of the Amendment Right held by such Person. The Company shall keep the register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection by the Seller or its legal representatives.

(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and any subsequent transfer agent in a form acceptable to the Seller (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to issue certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), registered in the name of the Seller or its respective nominee(s), for the Amendment Right Shares issued and delivered to the Seller in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Seller to the Company upon the exercise of the Amendment Right. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.24(a) will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent with respect to the Amendment Right Shares (other than as described in Section 3.3(4)(ii) hereof) shall be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If the Seller effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Amendment Right Shares, the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Seller to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Seller. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.25(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 4.25(b) that the Seller shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The

- 49 -

Company acknowledges and agrees that any fee of the Transfer Agent incurred in connection with this Section 4.25(b) shall be borne by the Company.

ARTICLE 5

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS REGARDING NON-SOLICITATION

Section 5.1 Non-Solicitation

(d) accept, approve, endorse, recommend, or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or take no position or remain neutral with respect to, any publicly disclosed or publicly announced Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that taking no position with respect to a publicly disclosed or publicly announced Acquisition Proposal for a period of no more than five (5) Business Days following the formal announcement of such Acquisition Proposal will not be considered to be in violation of this Section 5.1, provided the Board of Directors has rejected such Acquisition Proposal and affirmed the Board Recommendation before the end of such five (5) Business Day period); or

(e) accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into or publicly propose to accept approve, endorse, recommend or enter into, any agreement, any letter of intent, understanding, agreement or arrangement (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into in compliance with Section 5.2(1)(c)) relating to an Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Transaction Agreement”).

Section 5.2 Responding to an Acquisition Proposal

(1) Notwithstanding Section 5.1, if at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the Resolution at the Meeting, the Company receives from a Person a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was not, directly or indirectly, solicited, initiated, knowingly encouraged or otherwise facilitated in violation of Section 5.1, the Company may, in response to such Acquisition Proposal: (i) furnish information with respect to the Company in response to a request therefor by such Person; and (ii) engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal, if and only if:

(a) the Company notifies the Purchaser of such Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 5.4;

(b) prior to the taking of any such action, the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal; and

(c) prior to providing any such information, the Company enters into a confidentiality agreement with such Person that will include a customary standstill provision, and that is otherwise on terms and conditions no less onerous or more beneficial to such Person than those set forth in the confidentiality agreement entered into between the Company and the Purchaser dated December 16, 2021, provided that such agreement need not prohibit the making or amendment of any

- 51 -

Acquisition Proposal and may not include provisions granting such Person an exclusive right to negotiate with the Company.

Section 5.3 Adverse Recommendation Change; Alternative Transaction Agreement

(1) At any time prior to obtaining the approval of the Resolution, the Board of Directors may, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was not directly or indirectly, solicited, initiated, knowingly encouraged or otherwise facilitated in violation of this Article 5, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, or enter into an Alternative Transaction Agreement, if and only if:

(a) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under Article 5;

(b) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal;

(c) the Company provides the Purchaser with written notice of its intention to take such action (a “Superior Proposal Notice”), which notice will include all the information with respect to such Acquisition Proposal that is specified in Section 5.4(1) (it being agreed that the delivery of a Superior Proposal Notice will not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change unless and until the Company will have failed at or prior to the end of the Matching Period (and, upon the occurrence of such failure, such Superior Proposal Notice and such public announcement will constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change) to publicly announce that it: (A) is recommending the Transaction and that Company Shareholders vote for the Transaction; and (B) has determined that such other Acquisition Proposal (taking into account: (x) any modifications or adjustments made to the Transaction and this Agreement agreed to by the Purchaser in writing; and (y) any modifications or adjustments made to such other Acquisition Proposal) is not a Superior Proposal and has publicly rejected such Acquisition Proposal);

(d) during the Matching Period, the Board of Directors and the Company’s representatives have negotiated in good faith with the Purchaser (to the extent the Purchaser desires to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the Transaction and this Agreement proposed by the Purchaser in response to such Acquisition Proposal;

(e) at the end of the Matching Period, the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel (and taking into account any amendment or modification to the terms of this Agreement or the Transaction that the Purchaser has agreed in writing to make), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Law; and

(f) prior to or concurrently with taking any such action, the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(c).

- 52 -

(2) During the Matching Period, the Purchaser will have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of the Transaction and this Agreement, and the Company will reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser with respect thereto, including meeting and negotiating in good faith with the Purchaser to enable the Purchaser to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction as the Purchaser deems appropriate and as would permit the Purchaser to proceed with the Transaction and any related transactions on such adjusted terms. The Board of Directors will review any such offer by the Purchaser to amend the terms of the Transaction and this Agreement in order to determine, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, whether the Purchaser’s offer to amend the Transaction and this Agreement, upon its acceptance, would result in the applicable Acquisition Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Transaction as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Matching Period. If the Board of Directors so determines that the applicable Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Transaction as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Matching Period, the Purchaser will amend the terms of the Transaction and the Parties will enter into an amendment to this Agreement reflecting the offer by the Purchaser to amend the terms of the Transaction and this Agreement, and will take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

(3) The Board of Directors will promptly reaffirm its Board Recommendation by press release after: (i) any Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or made and the Board of Directors determines it is not a Superior Proposal; (ii) the Board of Directors determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Transaction pursuant to Section 5.3(2) would result in an Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Transaction as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Matching Period, and the Purchaser has so amended the terms of the Transaction in accordance with Section 5.3(2); or (iii) if the Board of Directors is then considering an Acquisition Proposal, five (5) Business Days have passed since the date of the Acquistion Proposal and the Purchaser requests reaffirmation of such Board Recommendation by the Board of Directors. The Purchaser will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release and the Company will consider all reasonable comments of the Purchaser and accept all comments which the Company agrees with.

(4) Any material amendment or modification to any such Acquisition Proposal will require a new Superior Proposal Notice and the Purchaser will be afforded a new Matching Period (except that references to the five (5) Business Day period in the definition of Matching Period will be deemed to be references to a three (3) Business Day period; provided however, that such new Matching Period will in no event shorten the original Matching Period).

Section 5.4 Notification of Acquisition Proposal

(1) In addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 5.2 and Section 5.3, if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective representatives receives or otherwise becomes aware of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or may

- 53 -

reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any Subsidiary (other than requests for information in the Ordinary Course of Business consistent with past practice and unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal) or for discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, the Company will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify the Purchaser orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and the identity of all Persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and will provide to the Purchaser a reasonably detailed written description thereof. The Company will keep the Purchaser reasonably informed (orally and in writing) on a current basis (and in any event no later than 24 hours after the occurrence of any modifications, developments, discussions and negotiations) of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request (including the terms and conditions thereof and any modification thereto), and any developments, discussions and negotiations with respect thereto, including furnishing copies of all correspondence and reasonably detailed written summaries of any material inquiries or discussions.

(2) Nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent the Board of Directors from: (i) complying with Division 3 of National Instrument 62-104 – Takeover Bids and Issuer Bids and similar provisions under Securities Laws relating to the provision of a directors’ circular in respect of an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Shareholders, if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its duties to Company Securityholders under applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt, it being agreed that the issuance by the Company of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), or would violate applicable Laws; or (iii) making accurate disclosure to the Company Securityholders of factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company; or (iv) making any other statements by or on behalf of the Board of Directors which would not reasonably be expected to have a similar effect as an Adverse Recommendation Change.

- 59 -

Transaction Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal and in accordance with Section 5.3; provided however, that the Company has complied with its obligations under Article 5;

(d) the Company, the Seller or the Purchaser after the date of this Agreement, if any Law is enacted, made, enforced or amended, as applicable, that makes the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement illegal or otherwise permanently prohibits or enjoins the Parties from consummating such transactions and such Law has, if appealable, become final and non-appealable;

(e) the Purchaser, if the Company or the Seller breaches any representation or warranty set forth herein, and such breach is incapable of being cured, or if the Company or the Seller fails to satisfy any of the covenants set forth in Article 4 of this Agreement on or prior to the Outside Date.

(2) The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.2 (other than pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to the other Parties, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such Party’s exercise of its termination right.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, then each of the parties hereto shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to itself at any time on or after the close of business on such date without liability of such party to any other party; provided, however, (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.2(3) shall not be available to such Person if the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have been consummated by such date is the result of such Person’s breach of this Agreement and (ii) no such termination shall affect any obligation of the Company under the Assignment and Assumption Agreement to reimburse the Seller for the expenses described in Section 10 of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

Section 7.3 Effect of Termination/Survival of this Agreement.

If this Agreement is terminated or is no longer in effective pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to any other Party to this Agreement, except that this Section 7.3, Section 7.4 and Section 8.2 through to and including Section 8.15 shall survive; and provided further that no Party shall be relieved of any liability for any wilful and material breach by it of this Agreement.

(2) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(b), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days of such termination, pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser by wire of immediately available funds, $3,000,000 (the “Termination Expense Reimbursement”).

(3) If this Agreement is terminated by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(e), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser by wire of immediately available funds, such amount equal to the expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein, as set forth in a written notice (the “Purchaser Termination Notice”) within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such Purchaser Termination Notice.

(4) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(c), the Company shall pay to the Purchaser a termination fee of $10,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) concurrently with the termination of this Agreement, by wire of immediately available funds.

(5) The payment of the Termination Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.4(2), any amounts pursuant to Section 7.4(3) or the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.4(4) shall be not be liquidated damages and shall not in any way preclude the Purchaser from seeking damages and pursuing any other remedies that it may have in respect of losses incurred or suffered by it as a result of failure by the Company or the Seller to perform any covenant or satisfy any condition set out in this Agreement.

- 61 -

(6) The Company confirms that other than the fees disclosed to the Purchaser in writing prior to the date hereof, no broker, finder or investment banker is or will be entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Time of the Essence.

Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

Section 8.4 Injunctive Relief.

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which 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 specific performance and 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.

- 64 -

Section 8.5 Survival

The representations and warranties of the Company, the Seller and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue (i) indefinitely with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company pursuant to Section 3.1(1), Section 3.1(2), Section 3.1(3), Section 3.1(4), Section 3.1(5) and Section 3.1(6), and (ii) for a period of four years thereafter with respect to all other representations and warranties. All covenants, obligations and agreements contained herein shall survive the Closing and continue in accordance with their terms.

Section 8.6 Indemnification.

(1) In consideration of the Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and Transaction Documents and acquiring the Purchased Note thereunder, and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and all of its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, contractors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable legal fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith), or (B) the status of the Purchaser either as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith or as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the Purchaser or its related Indemnitees to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arise primarily out of or is based primarily upon (i) the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Purchaser herein or (ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Purchaser. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

- 65 -

(2) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 8.6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8.6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own legal counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by legal counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same legal counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such Indemnified Liability. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 8.6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 8.6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred. The indemnity and

- 66 -

contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitees against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable Law.

Section 8.7 Third Party Beneficiaries.

The Parties intend that this Agreement will not benefit or create any right or cause of action in favour of any Person, other than the Parties, and that no Person, other than the Parties, shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum.

Section 8.8 Waiver.

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

Section 8.9 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, including the Schedules hereto, and the other Transaction Documents, collectively, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, collateral, statutory or otherwise, between the Parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The Parties have not relied and are not relying on any other information, discussion or understanding in entering into and completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Successors and Assigns.

(1) This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by the Company, the Purchaser and the Seller. After that time, it will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Company, the Purchaser, the Seller and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(2) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.

Section 8.11 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed from this

- 67 -

Agreement and the remaining provisions shall 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 8.12 Governing Law.

(1) This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America applicable therein.

(2) Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware courts situated in Wilmington, Delaware and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or that such court provides an inconvenient forum.

Section 8.13 Rules of Construction.

The Parties to this Agreement waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document shall be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or other document.

Section 8.14 Further Assurances.

Each Party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 8.15 Language.

The Parties expressly acknowledge that they have requested that this Agreement and all ancillary and related documents thereto be drafted in the English language only. Les parties aux présentes reconnaissent avoir exigé que la présente entente et tous les documents qui y sont accessoires soient rédigés en anglais seulement.
