For the purposes hereof, all such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made on account of the obligation to make payment to such person hereunder, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority by or on behalf of the Company, the Purchaser or the Depositary, as the case may be. Without limitation, to the extent necessary, such deductions and withholdings may be effected by selling any Exeter Shares to which any such person may otherwise be entitled under the Offer or any of the Contemplated Transactions, and any amount remaining following the sale, deduction and remittance shall be paid to the person entitled thereto as soon as reasonably practicable.

2.10

U.S. Tax Matters

For United States federal income tax purposes, the Parties intend to adopt this Agreement as a plan of reorganization. Under all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to use solely Consideration Shares for the Exeter Shares acquired. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code and will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid taking any action that would cause the transactions not to qualify as a reorganization in accordance with Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. Each of the Parties shall report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (to the extent that the transactions are reportable as such under the Code) and (to the extent that the transactions are reportable as such under the Code) shall not take any position that is contrary to such treatment, unless required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Purchaser nor the Company makes any representation, warranty or covenant to any other Party or to any Exeter Securityholder, any Exeter Shareholder or other holder of Exeter securities or Purchaser securities (including, without limitation, stock options, warrants, debt instruments or other similar rights or instruments) regarding the U.S. tax treatment of the Offer, including, but not limited to, whether the exchange of Exeter Shares for Purchaser Shares will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as a tax-deferred reorganization for purposes of any United States state or local income tax law.

2.11

U.S. Securities Matters

The Purchaser shall register the Consideration Shares on Form F-10 or such other applicable form as required under the U.S. Securities Act to issue the Consideration Shares in the Offer.

(c) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the planning for and implementation of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not be considered a breach of any covenant under this Agreement and shall not be considered in determining whether a representation or warranty of the Company hereunder has been breached.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.1(a), in the event that the Company receives a written Acquisition Proposal from any person after the date hereof that was not solicited by the Company and that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.1, and subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 5.1(d), the Company and its Representatives may (i) contact such person solely to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish information with respect to it to such person pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, provided that (x) the Company provides a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to the Purchaser promptly upon its execution or prior to providing any such information and (y) the Company contemporaneously provides to the Purchaser any non-public information concerning the Company that is provided to such person which was not previously provided to the Purchaser or its Representatives, and (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that, prior to taking any action described in clauses (ii) or (iii) above, the Exeter Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and failure to take such action would violate the fiduciary duties of such directors under applicable Law.

(d) The Company will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify the Purchaser, at first orally and thereafter in writing, of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not in writing) received by the Company, any inquiry received by the Company that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any request received by the Company for non-public information relating to the Company in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company by any person that informs the Company that it is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, including if in writing a copy of the Acquisition Proposal, a description of the material terms and conditions of such inquiry or request and the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, and promptly provide to the Purchaser such other information concerning such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request as the Purchaser may reasonably request. The Company will keep the Purchaser promptly and fully informed of the status and details (including all amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request.

(e) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.1, neither the Exeter Board, nor any committee thereof shall: (i) make a Change of Recommendation, (ii) accept, approve, endorse or recommend or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) permit the Company to accept or enter into, or publicly propose to enter into (or permit any such actions in the case of the Exeter Board or any committee thereof), any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or other Contract, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement or understanding, other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acquisition Agreement”) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) permit the Company to accept or enter into any Contract requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Contemplated Transactions or providing for the payment of any break, termination or other fees or expenses to any person proposing an Acquisition Proposal in the event that the Company completes the transactions contemplated hereby or any other transaction with the Purchaser or any of its affiliates.

- 66 -

(f) Notwithstanding Section 5.1(e), in the event the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that is a Superior Proposal from any person after the date hereof, then the Exeter Board may withdraw, modify, qualify or change in a manner adverse to the Purchaser its approval or recommendation of the Offer and/or approve or recommend such Superior Proposal and/or enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal but only if:

(i)

the Company has given written notice to the Purchaser that it has received such Superior Proposal that complies with Section 5.1(d) hereof and that the Exeter Board has determined that (x) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) the Exeter Board intends to withdraw, modify, qualify or change in a manner adverse to the Purchaser its approval or recommendation of the Offer, and/or enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in each case promptly following the making of such determination, together with a summary of the material terms of any proposed Acquisition Agreement or other agreement relating to such Superior Proposal (together with a copy of such agreement and any ancillary agreements) to be executed with the person making such Superior Proposal and, if applicable, a written notice from the Exeter Board regarding the value or range of values in financial terms that the Exeter Board has, in consultation with its financial advisors, determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered in the Superior Proposal;

(ii)

a period of five full Business Days (such period being the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) shall have elapsed from the date the Purchaser received the notice from the Company referred to in Section 5.1(f)(i) and, if applicable, the notice from the Exeter Board with respect to any non-cash consideration as contemplated in Section 5.1(f)(i), together with the summary of material terms and copies of agreements referred to therein. During the Superior Proposal Notice Period, the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of the Offer and this Agreement;

(iii)

the Company did not breach any provision of this Section 5.1 in connection with the preparation or making of such Acquisition Proposal and the Company has complied with the other terms of this Section 5.1(f);

(iv)

if the Purchaser has proposed to amend the terms of the Offer and this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1(f)(ii), the Exeter Board shall have determined in accordance with Section 5.1(g) that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal compared to the Offer and this Agreement as proposed to be amended by the Purchaser;

(v)

the Company concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i); and

(vi)

the Company has previously paid, or concurrently with such termination pays, to the Purchaser the Termination Fee.

- 67 -

(g) The Exeter Board will review in good faith any offer made by the Purchaser to amend the terms of the Offer and this Agreement in order to determine, in consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, whether the proposed amendments would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. The Company agrees that, subject to the Company’s disclosure obligations under applicable Securities Laws, the fact of the making of, and each of the terms of, any such proposed amendments shall be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed to any person (including without limitation, the person having made the Superior Proposal), other than the Company’s Representatives, without the Purchaser’s prior written consent. If the Exeter Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal as a result of the amendments proposed by the Purchaser, the Company will forthwith so advise the Purchaser and will promptly thereafter accept the offer by the Purchaser to amend the terms of the Offer and this Agreement and the Parties agree to take such actions and execute such documents as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing. If the Exeter Board continues to believe in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects the Purchaser’s offer to amend the Offer and this Agreement, if any, the Company may, subject to compliance with the other provisions hereof, terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1(d)(i) to enter into an Acquisition Agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal.

(h) Each successive modification of any Superior Proposal shall constitute a new Superior Proposal for the purposes of Section 5.1(f) and shall require a new five full Business Day Superior Proposal Notice Period from the date described in Section 5.1(f)(ii) with respect to such new Superior Proposal.

(i) The Exeter Board shall reaffirm its recommendation in favour of the Offer by news release promptly after (A) the Exeter Board has determined that any Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal if the Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced or made; or (B) the Exeter Board makes the determination referred to in Section 5.1(g) that an Acquisition Proposal that has been publicly announced or made and which previously constituted a Superior Proposal has ceased to be a Superior Proposal. The Purchaser shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such news release. Such news release shall state that the Exeter Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal is not a Superior Proposal.

(j) The Company will not become a party to any Contract with any person subsequent to the date hereof that limits or prohibits the Company from (x) providing or making available to the Purchaser and its affiliates and Representatives any information provided or made available to such person or its officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors, agents or other representatives (including solicitors, accountants, investment bankers and financial advisors) pursuant to any confidentiality agreement described in this Section 5.1 or (y) providing the Purchaser and its affiliates and Representatives with any other information required to be given to it by the Company under this Section 5.1.

- 68 -

(k) Unless this Agreement is terminated, the Company agrees (i) not to release any persons from, or terminate, modify, amend or waive the terms of, any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement or standstill provisions in any such confidentiality agreement that the Company entered into prior to the date hereof, (ii) to promptly and diligently enforce all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it has entered into prior to the date hereof or enter into after the date hereof (it being acknowledged and agreed that the automatic termination of any standstill provisions of any such agreement as the result of the entering into and announcement of this Agreement by the Company, pursuant to the express terms of any such agreement, shall not be a violation of this subsection 5.1(k)).

(l) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 5.1, the Exeter Board shall have the right to respond, within the time and in the manner required by applicable Securities Laws, to any take-over bid or tender or exchange offer made for the Exeter Shares that it determines is not a Superior Proposal.

(m) The Company shall ensure that its Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 5.1, and the Company shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 5.1 by any of its Representatives.

5.2

Expenses and Termination Fee

(a) “Termination Fee Event” means any of the following events:

(i)

an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made public or proposed publicly to the Company or the Exeter Shareholders after the date hereof and prior to the Expiry Time, and:

(A)

the Purchaser shall have exercised its termination right under Section 6.1(c)(iv) as a result of the Minimum Tender Condition not being satisfied, and

(B)

the Company shall have (x) completed any Acquisition Proposal within nine months after this Agreement is terminated or (y) entered into an Acquisition Agreement in respect of any Acquisition Proposal or the Exeter Board shall have recommended any Acquisition Proposal, in each case, within nine months after this Agreement is terminated, which Acquisition Proposal in either case, as it may be modified or amended, is subsequently completed (whether before or after the expiry of such nine-month period),

provided, however, that for the purposes of this paragraph 5.2(a)(i) all references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be changed to “50%”; or

(ii)

this Agreement shall have been terminated by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(i); or

(iii)

this Agreement shall have been terminated by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(ii); or

(iv)

this Agreement shall have been terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(i).

- 69 -

(b) If a Termination Fee Event occurs, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser a termination fee of $8,650,000 (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified by the Purchaser. The Company shall pay the Termination Fee to the Purchaser on or prior to completion of the applicable Acquisition Proposal (in the case of a Termination Fee Event referred to in Section 5.2(a)(i)), within two Business Days following termination of this Agreement (in the case of a Termination Fee Event referred to in Section 5.2(a)(ii) or 5.2(a)(iii)), or prior to or concurrent with termination of this Agreement (in the case of a Termination Fee Event referred to in Section 5.2(a)(iv)). If the Company does not have sufficient financial resources to pay the Termination Fee, then it shall be a condition of (A) any Superior Proposal referred to in Section 6.1(d)(i), and (B) any share or asset acquisition referred to in Section 5.2(a)(i) where the Company has entered into any agreement to support such share acquisition or to transfer such assets, as applicable, that the person making such Superior Proposal or acquisition, as applicable, shall advance or otherwise provide to the Company the cash required for the Company to pay the Termination Fee, which amount shall be so advanced or provided prior to the date on which the Company is required to pay the Termination Fee.

(c) In the event that the Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(c)(iv) as a result of the Minimum Tender Condition not being satisfied then the Company shall reimburse the Purchaser in respect of the expenses it has actually incurred in respect of the Offer and this Agreement up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000 (the “Termination Expense Reimbursement”). Such Termination Expense Reimbursement shall be made within three Business Days of a request for reimbursement. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges that in the event the Termination Fee is paid by the Company in accordance with Section 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), this Section 5.2(c) shall not apply and no Termination Expense Reimbursement shall be payable by the Company and, for greater certainty, if a Termination Expense Reimbursement is paid and subsequently a Termination Fee becomes payable, then the amount of such Termination Fee shall be reduced by the amount of the Termination Expense Reimbursement.

(d) Except as otherwise specified herein, each Party will pay its respective legal and accounting costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and all documents and instruments executed pursuant to this Agreement and any other costs, fees and expenses whatsoever and howsoever incurred, and will indemnify and save harmless the others from and against any claim for any broker’s, finder’s or placement fee or commission alleged to have been incurred as a result of any action by it in connection with the transactions hereunder.

(e) Each Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Section 5.2 are payments in consideration for the disposition of the Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement and represent liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which the Purchaser will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. The Company irrevocably waives any right that it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the payment of an amount pursuant to this Section 5.2 in the manner provided herein is the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser in respect of the event giving rise to such payment, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.2, and no payment of any such amount, shall relieve or have the effect of relieving the Company in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by the Purchaser as a result of an intentional or wilful breach of this Agreement and nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall preclude the Company from seeking injunctive relief in accordance with Section 7.13 to restrain the breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such acts, covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting a bond or security in connection therewith.

CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER

(a)

there shall have been validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn at the Expiry Time such number of Exeter Shares that constitute more than 50% of the Exeter Shares outstanding at the Expiry Time, excluding any Exeter Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised by the Purchaser or any person acting jointly or in concert with the Purchaser (the “Minimum Tender Condition”);

(b)

there shall have been validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn at the Expiry Time such number of Exeter Shares that constitute at least 66 2/3% of the Exeter Shares outstanding at the Expiry Time on a fully-diluted basis;

(b)

the Support Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with its terms;

(c)

no Law will have been enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced, made, entered, issued or applied and no Proceeding will otherwise have been taken under any Laws or by any Governmental Authority (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that makes the Offer illegal or otherwise directly or indirectly cease trades, enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits completion of the Offer;

(d)

there shall not have occurred, prior to the Expiry Date, a Material Adverse Effect; and

(e)

there shall not be pending or threatened in writing any Proceeding by any Governmental Authority or any other person that is reasonably likely to result in any:

prohibition or material limit on the ownership by the Purchaser of the Company or any material portion of its business; and

The foregoing conditions are for the exclusive benefit of the Purchaser and may be asserted by the Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such assertion, including any action or inaction by the Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of the Agreement, the Purchaser in its sole discretion may waive any of the foregoing conditions in whole or in part at any time and from time to time without prejudice to any other rights which the Purchaser may have. The failure by the Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed to be a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed to be an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
