Any Withheld Amounts withheld under this Section 2.6(b) shall be paid to the Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 2.4(a) and held, invested and distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement to be entered into on Closing by the Purchaser, Sellers and the Escrow Agent, and such amounts (together with any interest earned thereon) (the “116 Escrow Amounts”) shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Non-Resident Sellers.

(c)

Where a Withheld Amount has been withheld under Section 2.6(b) and a Non-Resident Seller delivers to the Escrow Agent, on or before the 25th day of the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs, a 116 Certificate, the

- 31 -

Escrow Agent shall, in respect of the portion of the Withheld Amount that relates to such Non-Resident Seller:

(i)

pay forthwith to the Receiver General for Canada (and in any event within four calendar days of delivery of such 116 Certificate to the Escrow Agent), for the account of the Non-Resident Seller in accordance with section 116 of the Tax Act, 25% of the amount, if any, by which such portion of the Withheld Amount exceeds the certificate limit fixed by such 116 Certificate; and

(ii)

pay forthwith to the Seller Representative for the account of the Non-Resident Seller (and in any event within four calendar days of delivery of such 116 Certificate to the Escrow Agent) the remainder of the Non-Resident Seller’s portion of the 116 Escrow Amount.

(d)

Subject to Section 2.6(f), where a Withheld Amount has been withheld under Section 2.6(b) and no 116 Certificate has been delivered to the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent in respect of a Non-Resident Seller’s portion of the Withheld Amount on or prior to the 25th day of the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs, no amount shall be remitted by the Escrow Agent in respect of such portion of the Withheld Amount to the Receiver General for Canada if the Non-Resident Seller delivers to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent, on or prior to the 25th day of the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs, a comfort letter (the “Comfort Letter”) issued by the Canada Revenue Agency which extends the time period under which the Purchaser is required to remit to the Receiver General for Canada an amount on behalf of the Non-Resident Seller in respect of the portion of the Withheld Amount without being subject to interest and penalties.

(e)

Where a Non-Resident Seller does not deliver to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent, on or prior to the 25th day of the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs, 116 Certificates or Comfort Letters in respect of its portion of the Withheld Amount, the Escrow Agent shall pay forthwith to the Receiver General for Canada (and in any event, on or before the 29th day of the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs), for the account of the Non-Resident Seller in accordance with section 116 of the Tax Act, the Non-Resident Seller’s portion of the Withheld Amount.

(f)

Where a Withheld Amount has been withheld under this Section 2.6 and a Non- Resident Seller has delivered to the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent a Comfort Letter as described in Section 2.6(d), the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Non-Resident Seller’s portion of the Withheld Amount subject to the following:

(i)

if a Non-Resident Seller notifies the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent that the Canada Revenue Agency has made a final written determination (a copy of which shall be provided to the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent) and that a 116 Certificate in respect of the Non-Resident Seller’s portion of the Withheld Amount will be issued upon receipt by the Receiver General for Canada of a

- 32 -

specified amount, the Escrow Agent shall release such specified amount from the Withheld Amounts to the Receiver General for Canada, for the sole purpose of obtaining the 116 Certificate (and Section 2.6(c)(i) and (ii) shall apply to the balance of the portion of the 116 Escrow Amounts if a 116 Certificate is issued); and

(ii)

if a Non-Resident Seller delivers to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent a 116 Certificate in respect of its portion of the Withheld Amount, Section 2.6(c)(i) and (ii) shall apply to such portion of the 116 Escrow Amounts.

(g)

The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall also apply, with such modifications as may be reasonably necessary, to any payments made by the Purchaser on account of any adjustments to the Purchase Price, so that the total Withheld Amount would then be equal to 25% of the aggregate amount of the Tax Gains for the Non-Resident Sellers in respect of the adjusted Purchase Price.

(h)

In all cases, for greater certainty, the Seller Representative, for the account of the Non-Resident Sellers, shall be entitled to all interest earned on the amounts withheld hereunder, and such amount shall be paid forthwith to the Seller Representative, for the account of the Non-Resident Sellers, when the amount withheld is paid by the Escrow Agent in accordance with this Section 2.6.

(i)

To the extent that amounts are withheld and remitted to the applicable taxing authority pursuant to this Section 2.6, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller Representative on account of the appropriate Non-Resident Seller in respect of the Purchase Price.

2.8

Closing Statement

(a)

Delivery of Draft Closing Statement. Not later than 15 days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the Seller Representative a statement (the “Draft Closing Statement” and, as finally determined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8, the “Closing Statement”), which shall set forth in reasonable detail:

(i)

the Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Interim Contributions Statement;

(ii)

the Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Net Payments Statement;

- 33 -

(iii)

the Purchaser’s good faith calculation of Interim Distributions;

(iv)

the Purchaser’s good faith calculation of Closing Transaction Expenses;

(v)

the Purchaser’s good faith calculation of Transfer Date Cash; and

(vi)

on the basis of the foregoing, a calculation of the Purchase Price.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that each of the Interim Contribution Statement, and the Net Payments Statement prepared by the Purchaser and included in the Draft Closing Statements and the Closing Statement shall be the same statements, in each case, as those statements prepared by the Sellers and included in the Estimated Statements in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and, absent manifest error, will not be subject to change or dispute after Closing pursuant to any part of this Section 2.8.

(b)

Cooperation. Upon reasonable request: (i) the Sellers shall cooperate with the Purchaser to the extent reasonably required to prepare the Draft Closing Statement; and (ii) during the 15 days following the delivery of the Draft Closing Statement, the Purchaser shall provide to the Seller Representative access to all work papers of the Company and the Greenstone Entities and their respective accounting and financial books and records to verify the accuracy, presentation and other matters relating to the preparation of the Draft Closing Statement during normal business hours and provided that such access is not unduly disruptive to the business of the Company.

(c)

Objection Period. Within 15 days following delivery of the Draft Closing Statement, the Seller Representative shall notify the Purchaser in writing if the Seller Representative has any objections to the Draft Closing Statement (the “Notice of Objection”). The Notice of Objection shall state in reasonable detail the basis of each objection and the approximate amounts in dispute. The Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted the Draft Closing Statement as the Closing Statement if the Sellers Representative does not notify the Purchaser of any objection within such period of 15 days.

(d)

Settlement of Dispute. If the Seller Representative sends a Notice of Objection in accordance with Section 2.8(c), then the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall work expeditiously and in good faith to resolve any item in the Draft Closing Statement that has been specifically identified in the Notice of Objection within a further period of 10 days after the date of the delivery of the Notice of Objection, failing which, only the items that remain in dispute (the “Disputed Items”) may be submitted by the Seller Representative or the Purchaser for final determination to the Third Party Accountants. The Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Third Party Accountants to complete their work within 30 days of their engagement. While the Third Party Accountants are performing their engagement, the Parties shall not communicate with the Third Party Accountants on the subject matter of their work, except by joint conference

- 34 -

call, joint meeting or letter with copy simultaneously delivered to the other Party. The Third Party Accountants shall allow the Purchaser and the Seller Representative to present their respective positions regarding the Draft Closing Statement and each of the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall have the right to present additional documents, materials and other information, and make an oral presentation to the Third Party Accountants regarding the Disputed Items. The Third Party Accountants shall consider such additional documents, materials and other information and such oral presentations and the Third Party Accountants shall make their determination solely based on presentations by the Seller Representative and the Purchaser and not by independent review. Any other documents, materials or other information must be copied to the Purchaser and the Seller Representative and each of Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall be entitled to attend any such oral presentation, and to reply thereto in respect of such items. With respect to each Disputed Item, the Third Party Accountants shall adopt a position that is either equal to the Purchaser’s proposed position, equal to the Seller Representative’s proposed position, or between (but not necessarily the “mid-point” of) the positions proposed by the Seller Representative and the Purchaser. The determination of the Third Party Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall not be subject to appeal, absent manifest error. The Third Party Accountants shall be acting as experts and not as arbitrators. The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 2.8 for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes.

(e)

Final Settlement.

(i)

On the later of the fifth Business Day following: (x) the date on which the Seller Representative and the Purchaser agree to the Closing Statement (or are deemed to have agreed to the Closing Statement pursuant to Section 2.8(c)); and (y) the date on which a determination in respect of a Notice of Objection is made by the Third Party Accountants pursuant to Section 2.8(d) (such date, the “Settlement Date”):

(A)

if the Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers an aggregate amount of cash equal to the amount by which the Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price; or

(B)

if the Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, then, subject to and in accordance with Section 2.8(e)(iii), the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser an aggregate amount of cash equal to the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Purchase Price.

(ii)

Any payment by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.8(e)(i)(A) shall be satisfied by the Purchaser paying to the Sellers such payment by wire transfer of

- 35 -

immediately available funds on the Settlement Date to an account or accounts directed by the Sellers as provided in accordance with Section 13.3.

(iii)

Any payment by the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.8(e)(i)(B) shall be satisfied either, (i) by the Sellers paying to the Purchaser such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Settlement Date to an account or accounts directed by the Purchaser as provided in accordance with Section 13.3, or (ii) if mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller Representative at such time, by set-off against the Deferred Payment Amount.

(f)

Fees and Expenses. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall each bear the fees and expenses of their respective auditors, lawyers, accountants, financial advisors and other professional advisors in preparing, reviewing or settling, as the case may be, the Draft Closing Statement. Where the Third Party Accountants have been retained to resolve a dispute, the fees and expenses of the Third Party Accountants will be borne by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Third Party Accountants, which proportionate allocations will also be determined by the Third Party Accountants at the time the determination of the Third Party Accountants is rendered in the Draft Closing Statement. For illustrative purposes, should the disputed items total in amount to $1,000 and the Third Party Accountants award $600 in favour of Purchaser’s position, 60% of the costs of the Third Party Accountants’ review would be borne by the Sellers and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Purchaser.

by the Purchaser, if any of the conditions in Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 have not been satisfied at the time specified in Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, as applicable, or are incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date, except that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.7(a)(i) shall not be available if the failure of such condition to be satisfied is due to the breach or non- performance by the Purchaser of any of the covenants, obligations or agreements to be performed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or the inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach by the Purchaser of any of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser in this Agreement;

(ii)

by the Sellers Representative, if any of the conditions in Section 3.2 or Section 3.4 have not been satisfied at the time specified in Section 3.2 or Section 3.4, as applicable, or are incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date, except that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.7(a)(ii) shall not be available if the failure of such condition to be satisfied is due to the breach or non-performance by a Seller of any of the covenants, obligations or agreements to be performed by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the inaccuracy, misrepresentation or breach by any Seller of the representations and warranties of any Seller in this Agreement;

(iii)

by either the Sellers Representative or the Purchaser, if after the date of this Agreement any Law is enacted or made (or any Law is amended) that makes the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited or enjoins the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to occur at the Closing Date, and such Law (if applicable) or enjoinment shall have become final and non- appealable; or

by either the Sellers Representative or the Purchaser, if the Closing has not occurred on or before the Outside Date, except that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.7(a)(iv) shall not be available to a Party if the failure of such condition to be satisfied was due to the breach or non-performance by such Party to fulfill any of covenants, obligation or agreement contained to be performed by such Party pursuant to this Agreement or the

9.10

Transfer of Consideration Shares

(a)

The Sellers acknowledge and agree with the Purchaser Guarantor that the Sellers’ ability to transfer the Consideration Shares is limited by, among other things, applicable securities Laws and the policies of the TSX. In particular, the Sellers acknowledge having been informed that the Consideration Shares will be subject to a customary four month “hold period” under Canadian Securities Laws, and the Sellers acknowledge that they are each solely responsible (and the Purchaser Guarantor is not in any way responsible) for compliance with such hold period.

(b)

The Sellers further acknowledge and agree with the Purchaser Guarantor that the Consideration Shares will be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, and that if in the future the Sellers decide to offer,

- 75 -

resell, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Consideration Shares, such Consideration Shares may be offered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, only:

(i)

to the Purchaser Guarantor;

(ii)

outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act;

(iii)

pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act; (iv) in accordance with Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, if available, and, in each case, in compliance with any applicable state securities laws of the United States; or

(v)

pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws of the United States,

provided that, any such transfer shall only occur after:

(A)

in the case of proposed transfers pursuant to (ii) above, providing a declaration to the Purchaser Guarantor and any registrar and transfer agent for the Equinox Gold Shares, in the form prescribed by the Purchaser Guarantor from time to time, together with any other evidence of the availability of such exemption that may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser Guarantor or any registrar and transfer agent for the Equinox Gold Shares, and

(B)

in the case of proposed transfers pursuant to (iv) or (v) above, providing an opinion of counsel of recognized standing or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser Guarantor, to the effect that the proposed transfer may be effected without registration under the U.S. Securities Act, and, in each case, in compliance with any applicable state securities laws in the United States;

(c)

The Sellers further acknowledge and agree with the Purchaser Guarantor that upon the original issuance of the Consideration Shares, and until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws, the Considerations Shares will bear the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING OR OTHERWISE HOLDING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF EQUINOX GOLD CORP. (THE “CORPORATION”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ONLY (A) TO

- 76 -

THE CORPORATION; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS; (C) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT; (D) PURSUANT TO THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES; OR (E) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND, IN THE CASE OF PARAGRAPH (D) OR (E), THE SELLER HAS FURNISHED TO THE CORPORATION AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING OR SUCH OTHER EVIDENCE IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH EXEMPTION AS THE CORPORATION MAY REASONABLY REQUEST. DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE GOOD DELIVERY IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES IN CANADA.”

provided, that if any Consideration Shares are being sold in compliance with the requirements of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with local laws and regulations, the foregoing legend may be removed by providing a declaration to the Purchaser Guarantor and to the Purchaser Guarantor’s transfer agent, in such form as the Purchaser Guarantor may prescribe from time to time, together with any other evidence of the availability of such exemption that may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser Guarantor or any registrar and transfer agent for the Equinox Gold Shares, and the Purchaser Guarantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the removal of such legend;

provided further, that if any of the Consideration Shares are being sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, if available, the legend may be removed by delivering to the Purchaser Guarantor and the Purchaser Guarantor’s transfer agent an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser Guarantor, to the effect that the legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or securities laws of any U.S. state (or such other evidence to such effect as the Purchaser Guarantor and the Purchaser Guarantor’s transfer agent may reasonably request), and the Purchaser Guarantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the removal of such legend.

10.8

Third Party Claims

(a)

Upon receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim for damages and if the Indemnifying Party assumes control, it shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for all of the Indemnified Party’s out-of-pocket expenses prior to the time the Indemnifying

- 81 -

Party assumed control. In order to assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Party written notice of its election within 45 days of the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of Notice of Claim in respect of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of such Third Party Claim and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences). If the Indemnifying Party has assumed control of the Third Party Claim, it shall not settle such Third Party Claim unless the settlement shall include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff of a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, from all liability with respect to the matters that are subject to such Third Party Claim, or otherwise shall have been approved reasonably by the Indemnified Party.

(b)

If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control and, subject to Section 10.8(d), the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(c)

If the Indemnifying Party has assumed control of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall post all security required by any Governmental Body having jurisdiction, including without limitation, for purposes of enabling the Indemnifying Party to contest any Third Party Claim.

(d)

If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defence of any Third Party Claim or defaults in respect of any of its obligations under this Section 10.8 with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to contest the amount claimed and may settle and pay the same on 14 days’ prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall, thereupon, be deemed to have agreed that such settlement is reasonable and may be agreed to by the Indemnified Party and all other Persons liable in respect of the Third Party Claim unless within such fourteen (14)-day period the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it is assuming or reassuming control of such defence and thereafter assumes or reassumes such control and does not default.

(e)

The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall, subject to the right of the Indemnified Party to withhold privileged information, keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).

- 82 -

10.9

One Recovery

An Indemnified Party is not entitled to double recovery for any claims even though they may have resulted from the breach, inaccuracy or failure to perform of more than one of the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Indemnifying Party in this Agreement.

10.10

Duty to Mitigate

Nothing in this Agreement in any way restricts or limits the general obligation at Law of an Indemnified Party to mitigate any loss which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach, inaccuracy or failure to perform of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. If any claim can be reduced by any recovery, settlement or otherwise under or pursuant to any insurance coverage, or pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person, the Indemnified Party shall take all appropriate steps to enforce such recovery, settlement or payment and the amount of any Losses of the Indemnified Party will be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds actually recoverable by the Indemnified Party.

10.11

Adjustment to Purchase Price

Any payment made by the Sellers to the Purchaser pursuant to this Article 10 shall constitute a reduction in the Purchase Price, and any payment made by the Purchaser to the Sellers pursuant to this Article 10 shall constitute an increase in the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE 11

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

11.1

Company Material Contracts

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that upon the consummation of the transactions described herein it the Sellers shall have no further obligations and liabilities under the Company Material Contracts effective at, and conditional upon, the Time of Closing and the Purchaser agrees that it shall take all steps, and to do all things necessary, to give effect to the foregoing.

11.2

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Company shall purchase, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, prior to the Closing, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for a period of seven years after the Closing Date, for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Sellers (or their Affiliates), with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Closing Date. For a period of seven years following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company, or any successor or assign by amalgamation or otherwise, to amend, repeal or modify any provision in their constating documents, by-laws or other similar documents to the exculpation or indemnification of any current or former officer or director (unless required by Law), except to the extent such amended, repealed or modified provision is replaced or supplemented, such that the officers and directors of the Company

- 83 -

continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification on terms that are comparable in all material respects, to the full extent of the Law.

11.3

Change of Name

As soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within seven Business Days, following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company to effect a change of the name of the Company to a name other than a name containing “OMF”, “Orion” or any derivative or variation thereof and shall provide to Sellers copies of the amendments to the governing documents of the Company evidencing such change of name. Following the Closing, Purchaser and the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable cease and discontinue any and all use of the names “OMF”, “Orion” or any derivative or variation thereof.

11.4

Tax Covenants

(a)

The Sellers shall prepare all Tax Returns relating to the Company for periods ending prior to the Time of Closing, such Tax Returns to be prepared on a basis that is consistent in all material respects with the basis on which the Company has prepared and filed such Tax Returns in the past unless otherwise required by applicable Laws (the “Pre-Closing Tax Returns”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Pre-Closing Tax Return, the Company shall not deduct any amount in the nature of a reserve or claim any Tax credit that would require the Company to include in a tax period ending after Closing any amount of income, unless (i) in the case of any such credit, the Tax liability in respect of such income (determined as though such income were the only income or loss of the entity for the tax period and without regard for the availability of any loss carryforwards or carrybacks) is taken into account in calculating the Purchase Price, or (ii) in the case of any reserve, a corresponding reserve or other liability is taken into account in calculating the Purchase Price. If requested by the Purchaser, the Sellers shall cause the Company and any Subsidiary to make an election pursuant to subsection 256(9) of the Tax Act in respect of the taxation year of the Company ending on the acquisition of control of it by the Purchaser. The Sellers shall deliver all such Pre- Closing Tax Returns relating to income Taxes to the Purchaser not less than 20 Business Days (or five Business Days in respect of all other Pre-Closing Tax Returns) before the date on which such Pre-Closing Tax Returns are required by applicable Laws to be filed with the relevant Governmental Body. The Purchaser shall file such Pre-Closing Tax Returns with the appropriate Governmental Body in accordance with applicable Laws.

(b)

The Sellers and the Purchaser will co-operate fully and assist each other and make available to each other in a timely fashion all data and other information as may reasonably be required for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns of the Company, including, for greater certainty, (i) assessing whether the Sellers, the Purchaser or the Company has entered into, or the transactions contemplated under this Agreement are, a “reportable transaction” as defined in subsection 237.3(1) of the Tax Act and if so, any Tax Returns that are required to be filed, (ii) any Tax Returns with respect to a “notifiable transaction” as defined in subsection 237.4(1)

- 84 -

of the Tax Act in respect of the Company or this Agreement; and (iii) determining all relevant amounts for the purposes of global minimum Taxes.

(c)

In the event that the Company receives, after Closing, any refunds of Taxes (including any interest paid with respect thereto) in respect of any periods ending prior to the Time of Closing (except to the extent such refunds were taken into account in calculating the Purchase Price and except to the extent such refunds solely arise as a result of carryback of a loss or credit generated in a tax period that is not a period ending prior to the Time of Closing), the Purchaser will pay the amount thereof (net of (i) any Taxes payable by the Purchaser in respect of receipt of such refund or interest or that would have been payable in the absence of use of a loss or credit from a tax period ending prior to the Time of Closing, and (ii) any reasonable amounts payable to third-party accountants for preparing the relevant Tax Returns entitling the Company to such refunds) to the Sellers’ Representative or as the Sellers may direct in writing within 10 Business Days following the date such refunds were paid by the relevant Governmental Body to the Company, provided that the Purchaser has the right to set-off any such payment in respect of refunds against any amount due and payable to the Purchaser under this Agreement. In the event that the Company is subsequently required to repay any amount paid to or for the benefit of the Sellers under this Section 11.4(c), the Company shall notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing and such amount (together with any interest or penalties owing in respect of such disallowed refund) shall be repaid to the Purchaser within 10 Business Days of receipt of such notice. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 11.4(c) shall be treated as a dollar-for-dollar adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(d)

If it is determined that the Company made an “excessive eligible dividend designation”, as defined in subsection 89(1) of the Tax Act, each Seller hereby consents to the making of an election under subsection 185.1(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount thereof, and such election shall be made the Company in the manner and within the time prescribed by subsections 185.1(2) and 185.1(3) of the Tax Act.

(e)

If it is determined that the Company has made an election under subsection 83(2) of the Tax Act in respect of the full amount of any dividend payable by it on shares of any class of its capital stock and the full amount of such dividend exceeded the amount of its “capital dividend account”, as defined in the Tax Act, immediately before the dividend became payable, each Seller hereby consents to the making of an election under subsection 184(3) of the Tax Act in respect of such dividend.

(f)

Following the execution of this Agreement, the Sellers Representative shall, on behalf of each Non-Resident Seller, promptly prepare and file with the applicable Governmental Body an application under subsection 116(1) of the Tax Act, in prescribed form and in accordance with applicable Law, with respect to the Purchased Shares owned by such Non-Resident Sellers. The Sellers Representative shall deliver to the Purchaser evidence that such applications have been filed with

- 85 -

the applicable Governmental Body and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each Non-Resident Seller receives a Comfort Letter within the time required to enable the Sellers’ Representative to deliver the Comfort Letter to the Purchaser under Section 2.6(d).

11.5

Greenstone Distributions

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, when required pursuant to the Greenstone LPA, Greenstone Distributions from Greenstone to the Company are to occur quarterly in arrears (and in particular, within 45 days of the end of any such quarter) and as a result, the Company may receive Greenstone Distributions after Closing which relate to the Seller Period. The Parties agree that any such distributions which related to the Seller Period shall accrue to the benefit of the Sellers and if the Purchaser receives such Greenstone Distributions which relate to the Seller Period, the Purchaser agrees to hold such Greenstone Distributions which relate to the Seller Period for the benefit of the Sellers and to deliver such amounts to the Sellers Representative (or as the Sellers Representative directs) within three Business Days of receipt of such amounts. The Purchaser agrees that it shall also promptly provide the Sellers Representative with a statement of all such Greenstone Distributions which relate to the Seller Period. The Sellers hereby covenant and agree that they will be responsible for all Taxes in respect of such Greenstone Distributions which relate to the Seller Period and which have been delivered to the Seller Representative under this Section 11.5, including any Taxes payable by the Company to the extent that the Greenstone Distributions which have been delivered to the Seller Representative under this Section 11.5 are connected to income allocated by Greenstone to the Company.

To the extent that Greenstone Distributions relate to a time period that occurred partially during the Seller Period, the Parties agree that the Pro Rata Portion of such Greenstone Distributions shall accrue to the benefit of the Sellers and constitute Seller Period Distributions. For illustrative purposes of the foregoing and the definitions of “Purchaser Period Distributions” and “Seller Period Distributions”, if (i) the Purchaser Period commences on May 1, 2024, (ii) Closing occurs on June 10, 2024, and (iii) a Greenstone Distribution of $100 is made to the Company on July 25, 2024 in respect of the second fiscal quarter, then the Purchaser would be entitled to $66.66 of such Greenstone Distribution and the Sellers would be entitled to $33.33 of such Greenstone Distribution. The Sellers hereby covenant and agree that they will be responsible for all Taxes in respect of its Pro Rata Portion of such Greenstone Distributions, including any Taxes payable by the Company to the extent that its Pro Rata Portion of such Greenstone Distributions are connected to income allocated by Greenstone to the Company.

11.6

(b)

If the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) so chooses, and without the need for any consent or waiver by any of the Company, the Purchaser or their Affiliates, Torys LLP shall be permitted to represent the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) or any Seller after the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto.

(c)

The Parties consent to the arrangements in this Section 11.6(a) and waive any actual or potential conflict of interest that may be involved in connection with any representation by Torys LLP permitted hereunder.
