    Item 1.01

    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

    Arrangement Agreement

    On November 14, 2025, Repare Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with XenoTherapeutics, Inc., a Massachusetts non-profit corporation (“Xeno”), Xeno Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Xeno (“Purchaser”) and solely for purposes of Section 9.15 thereof, XOMA Royalty Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“XRC”), pursuant to which Purchaser will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares,” and the holders of such Common Shares, the “Shareholders”) of the Company (the “Transaction”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Shareholders will receive a cash payment per Common Share (the “Cash Amount”) that will be determined based upon the Company’s cash balance immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction (“Closing”) after deducting certain transaction costs, the aggregate amount of outstanding liabilities, and a transaction fee to Xeno. In addition, each Shareholder will also receive one non-transferable contingent value right (each, a “CVR”) for each Common Share that will entitle the holder to receive a pro rata portion of potential payments, in cash, described in, and subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the CVR Agreement (as defined and further described below). The cash payable at Closing is currently estimated to be approximately $1.82 per Common Share, exclusive of payments received pursuant to the CVR.

    The Company’s transaction committee comprised entirely of independent directors of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board,” and such transaction committee, the “Transaction Committee”) following receipt and review of the opinion of the Transaction Committee’s financial advisors, determined that the Arrangement (defined below) is fair to the Shareholders, and that the Arrangement is in the best interests of the Company.

    The Board, after consultation with the Company’s management and legal advisors and, following the receipt and review of the unanimous recommendation from the Transaction Committee and the opinion of the Transaction Committee’s financial advisors, has unanimously approved the Transaction and determined that the Transaction is in the best interest of the Company and is fair to the Shareholders. The Board has unanimously resolved to recommend that the Shareholders vote in favor of the Transaction, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement.

    The Transaction will be implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) (the “QBCA,” and such transaction, the “Arrangement”) and will require approval of at least: (i) 662⁄3% of the votes cast by the Shareholders, and (ii) a majority of the votes cast by the Shareholders excluding votes held by certain “interested parties” required to be excluded by Multilateral Instrument 61-101, at a special meeting to be held to consider the Transaction. In addition to approval by the Shareholders, the Transaction is also subject to customary closing conditions, including: (i) obtaining the necessary interim and final orders of the Superior Court of Québec; (ii) Shareholders of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company having exercised rights of dissent under the QBCA in respect of the Arrangement; (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the parties in the Agreement, subject to specified qualifications; and (iv) compliance by each of the Company and Purchaser with certain covenants under the Agreement subject to specified qualifications.

    The Agreement contains representations and warranties from both the Company, on the one hand, and Xeno and Purchaser, on the other hand, customary for a transaction of this nature. The Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to the operations of the business of the Company between the date of the Agreement and Closing. Pursuant to the Agreement, XRC has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the full and timely performance and satisfaction of Xeno and Purchaser’s obligations under the Agreement.

    Subject to certain limited exceptions, during the period from the date of the Agreement through the Effective Time (as defined in the Agreement), the Company has agreed not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, propose, encourage or facilitate any inquiry, discussion, offer or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Agreement), or take certain other restricted actions in connection therewith. Notwithstanding this limitation, the Company may, under certain specified circumstances, furnish information to, and participate in discussions or negotiations with, third parties with respect to an Acquisition Proposal if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such acquisition proposal either (i) constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Agreement) or (ii) is reasonably likely to lead to or result in a Superior Proposal.


    The Agreement contains customary termination rights for Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, including, among others, for failure to consummate the Transaction on or before the Outside Date (as defined in the Agreement). If the Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the Agreement, including in connection with the Company’s entry into an agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (as described above), the Company will be required to pay Purchaser a termination fee of $2,000,000.

    Each holder of Company restricted share units and in-the-money stock options shall receive the cash amount that such holder is entitled to receive, as well as one CVR, the whole pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

    The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

    The Agreement has been included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Xeno, Purchaser, XRC or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company, on the one hand, and Xeno and Purchaser, on the other hand, made solely for the benefit of the other. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties in negotiating the terms of the Agreement, including information in confidential disclosure schedules delivered in connection with the signing of the Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the Company, on the one hand, and Xeno and Purchaser, on the other hand, rather than establishing matters as facts. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Agreement, and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. In addition, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

    Contingent Value Rights Agreement

    At or prior to the time at which the Arrangement becomes effective, Xeno and Purchaser will authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that a rights agent mutually agreeable to Xeno and the Company executes and delivers, a Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”). Each CVR will represent a contractual right to receive contingent cash payments equal to:

     

      i.

    100% of certain additional receivables that may be received by the Company within ninety (90) days following Closing (net of certain permitted deductions incurred in connection therewith);

     

      ii.

    a percentage of the net proceeds received from the Company’s existing partnerships with Bristol-Myers Squibb, Debiopharm and DCx Biotherapeutics, as follows: (i) 90% received from the Closing date until the 2nd anniversary thereof, (ii) 85% received from the 2nd anniversary of the Closing date until the 4th anniversary of the Closing date, (iii) 80% received from the 4th anniversary of the Closing date until the 6th anniversary of the Closing date, and (iv) 75% received from the 6th anniversary of the Closing date until the 10th anniversary of the Closing date;

     

      iii.

    100% of the net proceeds received by the 10th anniversary of the Closing date for any license or disposition of the Company’s product candidates and/or intellectual property related to its RP-1664 program, RP-3500 (Camonsertib) program, or any other license or disposition of the Company’s product candidates or research programs if such license or disposition is entered into prior to the Closing date; and

     

      iv.

    100% of the net proceeds received by the 10th anniversary of the Closing date for any license or disposition of the Company’s Polq program, RP-3467, to any person with whom negotiations were initiated prior to the Closing date; and

     

      v.

    50% of the net proceeds received by the 10th anniversary of the Closing date for any license or disposition of the Company’s product candidates and/or intellectual property that occurs within 10 years following the Closing date if such license or disposition is entered into following the Closing Date.

    The right to the contingent payments contemplated by the CVR Agreement is a contractual right only and will not be transferable, except in the limited circumstances specified in the CVR Agreement. The CVRs will not be evidenced by a certificate or any other instrument and will not be registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights and will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Xeno, any constituent corporation party to the Transaction or any of their respective affiliates. No interest will accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any holders.

     


    The form of the CVR Agreement is included as Schedule F to Exhibit 2.1 attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the CVR Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof.

    Voting and Support Agreements

    In connection with the execution of the Agreement, Purchaser entered into voting and support agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) with the Company’s officers and directors. The Voting Agreements provide that, among other things, those parties irrevocably agree (i) to vote all voting securities of the Company beneficially owned by them in favor of the approval and adoption of the Arrangement and the transactions contemplated therein and (ii) to support actions necessary to consummate the Arrangement, on the terms and subject to the conditions of such Voting Agreements. The Voting Agreements shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the termination of the Agreement in accordance with their terms. The Common Shares subject to the Support Agreements comprise approximately 0.25% of the outstanding Common Shares.

    The foregoing description of the Voting Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreements, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

      (b)

    From and after the Effective Time, the Plan of Arrangement shall have all of the effects provided by applicable Law, including the QBCA.

     

    2.8

    Determination of Cash Amount

     

      (a)

    At least ten (10) Business Days before the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a schedule (the “Closing Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Company’s good faith estimated calculation of the Closing Cash Calculation. The Company shall make available to the Purchaser, as reasonably requested by the Purchaser, the work papers and back-up materials used or any other relevant information useful in preparing the Closing Cash

     

    - 21 -


      Schedule, including close-out memos or other forms of written affirmation from vendors that either no more money is due or an amount of money is due that is reflected on the Closing Cash Schedule. If reasonably requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall provide the Purchaser with access to the Company’s accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice in order to permit the Purchaser to review the Closing Cash Calculation.

     

      (b)

    The Purchaser shall have the right to dispute any part of the Closing Cash Schedule by delivering a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to that effect to the Company on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Montréal Time) on the fifth calendar day following the Purchaser’s receipt of the Closing Cash Schedule (the “Response Time”), which Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the proposed Closing Cash Calculation and shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation for the basis for such revisions.

     

      (c)

    If, on or prior to the Response Time, the Purchaser notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Closing Cash Calculation or if the Purchaser fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.8(b) prior to the Response Time, then the Closing Cash Calculation as set forth in the Closing Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and shall represent the Closing Net Cash as of the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

     

      (d)

    If the Purchaser delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Time, then representatives of the Company and the Purchaser shall promptly (and in no event later than one Business Day thereafter) meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Closing Net Cash, which agreed upon Closing Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and shall represent the Closing Net Cash as of the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

     

      (e)

    If Representatives of the Company and the Purchaser are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Closing Net Cash as of the Cash Determination Time pursuant to Section 2.8(d) within two Business Days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as the Company and the Purchaser may mutually agree upon), then the Company and the Purchaser shall, within two Business Days, appoint by mutual agreement the Montréal office of an impartial nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than the Company or the Purchaser’s accountants (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Closing Net Cash. The Company and the Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Closing Cash Schedule and the Dispute Notice, and the Company and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within three Business Days of accepting its selection. The Company and the Purchaser shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any materials related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of the Company and the Purchaser. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Closing Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of the Company and the Purchaser, shall be final and binding on the Company and the Purchaser and shall (absent manifest error) be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Closing Net Cash as of the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. The Parties shall extend the Effective Time until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 2.8(e); provided, that the Company shall not, and shall not be required to, extend the Effective Time beyond the Outside Date. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Company (as a Closing Transaction Expense) and the Purchaser in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Closing Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears

     

    - 22 -


      to the total disputed amount of such amounts and the Company’s portion of such fees and expenses shall be deducted from the Closing Net Cash amount.

     

    2.9

    Deposit of Amount

    The Company shall, following receipt of the Final Order and final agreement on the Closing Cash Calculation, and at least one Business Day prior to the Effective Date, provide the Depositary with sufficient funds to be held in escrow (the terms and conditions of such escrow to be satisfactory to the Company and the Purchaser, each acting reasonably) to satisfy the aggregate Distribution payable by the Company to the Shareholders pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

     

    2.10

    Treatment of Convertible Securities and ESPP Matters

     

      (a)

    The Parties acknowledge that the Incentive Securities and the Warrant shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement.

      (c)

    The Company will take all reasonable steps (including obtaining any necessary resolutions of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof and, if appropriate, amending the terms of the ESPP) necessary or desirable (a) to, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event on or before the Effective Date, suspend the ESPP so that no new participants can be enrolled and that existing ESPP Participants are not entitled to make any further contributions under the ESPP; and (b) to effect the settlement of all contributions under the ESPP into Common Shares and thereafter to deliver or cause to be delivered any such Common Shares to the ESPP Participants as soon as reasonably practicable after such date, but in any event prior to the record date of the Meeting.

     

    2.11

    Withholding

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement or the CVR Agreement, each Party, the Depositary, their respective affiliates, or any other person that makes a payment under the Plan of Arrangement or this Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Consideration or other amount payable or otherwise deliverable to any person, including Shareholders exercising Dissent Rights, former Shareholders and holders of Incentive Securities, pursuant to this Agreement, the Arrangement or the CVR Agreement such Tax or other amounts as the applicable payor determines, acting reasonably, are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom in accordance with the Tax Act or any other provisions of any applicable Laws or the administrative practice of any Governmental Entity. To the extent that Taxes or other amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld Taxes or other amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement, the Arrangement or the CVR Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Any such deducted or withheld amounts shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity as required by applicable Law.

     

    2.12

    Contingent Value Right

    At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Purchaser will authorize and duly adopt, execute and deliver, and will ensure that the Rights Agent executes and delivers the CVR Agreement, subject to any reasonable

    revisions to the CVR Agreement that are requested by such Rights Agent or the Representative thereunder (provided that such revisions are not, individually or in the aggregate, materially detrimental to any holder of CVRs). Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate, including by making changes to the form of CVR Agreement, as necessary to ensure that the CVRs are not subject to registration or prospectus requirements under the Securities Laws or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” Laws.

    - 37 -


      (b)

    Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date hereof the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company may (subject to compliance with Section 8.2 and Section 8.3) terminate this Agreement and accept, approve, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of such Superior Proposal prior to completion of the Arrangement and recommend or approve such Superior Proposal or make a Change of Recommendation, if and only if:

     

      (i)

    such Superior Proposal did not arise, directly or indirectly, as a result of a violation by the Company of Section 6.1, and the Company has been and continues to be in compliance with its obligations under Section 6.1 and this Section 6.2;

     

      (ii)

    the person making the Superior Proposal was not restricted from making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill or similar restriction;

     

      (iii)

    the Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;

     

      (iv)

    the Company has (A) delivered written notice to the Purchaser of the determination of the Board of Directors that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Board of Directors to accept, approve, recommend or enter into an agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal (the “Superior Proposal Notice”) and (B) has provided the Purchaser with a copy of the acquisition or similar agreement relating to such Acquisition Proposal, including all supporting materials, including any financing documents supplied to the Company in connection therewith and a written notice from the Board regarding the value in financial terms that the Board has, in consultation with an independent financial advisor, determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under the Superior Proposal;

    at least five (5) Business Days have elapsed since the later of the date on which the Purchaser received a copy of the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which the Purchaser received all the material specified in Section 6.2(b)(iv)(B) (such five Business Day period, the “Right to Match Period”) and, for greater certainty, the Right to Match Period shall expire at 11:59 p.m. (Montréal time) on the last Business Day of the Right to Match Period;

     

      (vi)

    if the Purchaser and Parent have offered to amend the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement during the Right to Match Period pursuant to Section 6.2(c), the Board of Directors has determined, in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Arrangement and this Agreement as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Right to Match Period; and

     

      (vii)

    the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii)(A) and concurrently pays the Termination Payment pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(iii).

    During the Right to Match Period or such longer period as the Company may approve in writing for such purpose, the Purchaser and Parent will have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement. The Company agrees that, if requested by the Purchaser, it will negotiate with the Purchaser in good faith to amend the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement as would enable them to proceed with the Arrangement and any Contemplated Transactions on such adjusted terms. The Board of Directors will review any such offer by the Purchaser and Parent to amend the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement in order to determine, in good faith, whether the Purchaser and Parent’s offer to amend the Arrangement and this Agreement, upon its acceptance, would result in the applicable Acquisition Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Arrangement and this Agreement as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Right to Match Period. If the Board of Directors determines that the applicable Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior

     

    - 38 -


      Proposal when assessed against the Arrangement and this Agreement as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Right to Match Period, the Purchaser and Parent will amend the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement and the Company and the Purchaser and Parent shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement reflecting the offer by the Purchaser and Parent to amend the terms of the Arrangement and this Agreement.

     

      (d)

    Each successive amendment, change or modification to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration to be received by the Shareholders will constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.2 and the Purchaser shall be afforded a new three (3) Business Day Right to Match Period from the later of the date on which the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which the Purchaser received all of the material specified in Section 6.2(b)(iv)(B) with respect to such new Superior Proposal from the Company.

     

      (e)

    The Board shall promptly reaffirm the Board Recommendation by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or publicly disclosed or the Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement as contemplated under Section 6.2(c) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Company shall provide the Purchaser and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as requested by the Purchaser and its outside legal counsel.

     

      (f)

    If the Meeting is to be held during a Right to Match Period, the Company may, and shall at the request of the Purchaser, postpone or adjourn the Meeting to a date that is not more than fifteen (15) days after the scheduled date of the Meeting, but in any event to a date that is not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Outside Date.

     

      (g)

    Except as provided under Section 6.2(f), nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall limit in any way the obligation of the Company to convene and hold the Meeting in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement while this Agreement remains in force.

     

      (h)

    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors or the Company from responding through a directors’ circular or otherwise as required by applicable Laws to an Acquisition Proposal where such response is not an acceptance, approval, endorsement or recommendation of such Acquisition Proposal and does not otherwise constitute a Change of Recommendation; provided, that the Company shall provide the Purchaser and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of such circular or other disclosure and shall make all reasonable amendments to such circular or other disclosure as requested by the Purchaser and its outside legal counsel.

     

      (i)

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in Section 6.1 and this Section 6.2 shall require the sharing with the Purchaser of any information considered by external legal counsel of each of the Company and the Purchaser to be competitively sensitive information in connection with competition compliance principles, which competitively sensitive information will be provided only to the external legal counsel or external expert of the Purchaser and shall not be shared by such legal counsel or expert with any other person unless it is first anonymized and aggregated such that it is no longer considered by external legal counsel of each of the Company and the Purchaser to be competitively sensitive information in connection with competition compliance principles.

    either (x) any Acquisition Proposal is completed within 12 months following the termination of this Agreement; or (y) an agreement in respect of any Acquisition Proposal is entered into directly or indirectly by the Company within 12 months following the termination of this Agreement and that Acquisition Proposal is completed at any time after the termination of this Agreement,

    in which case the Termination Payment shall be paid to the Purchaser concurrently with the completion of that Acquisition Proposal.

    For purposes of this Section 8.3(a)(iv), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.1(c), except that references to “20% or more” shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more”.

     

      (b)

    Upon written notice to the Company, the Purchaser may assign its right to receive the Termination Payment to any affiliate of the Purchaser. The Termination Payment shall be paid by the Company to the Purchaser or its assignee, as applicable, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account specified by the Purchaser.

The Company irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive.

    Effect of Termination Payment / Survival

    For greater certainty, the Purchaser agrees that the Termination Payment to be received pursuant to Section 8.3 is the sole remedy in compensation or damages of the Purchaser with respect to the events giving rise to the termination of this Agreement and the resulting payment of such amounts; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.4, and no payment of any such payment, shall relieve or have the effect of relieving any Party in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by a Party in the event of fraud or a Willful Breach by the Company or its Subsidiary of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach and liability shall not be affected by termination of this Agreement or any payment of the amounts set out in Section 8.3. In no event shall the Purchaser be entitled to both specific performance to cause the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the payment of the Termination Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall preclude a party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any such covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith.

    THE ARRANGEMENT

     

    2.1

    Arrangement Agreement

    This Plan of Arrangement is made pursuant to, and is subject to the provisions of and forms part of the Arrangement Agreement, and constitutes an arrangement under Chapter XVI – Division II of the QBCA.

     

    2.2

    Binding Effect

    This Plan of Arrangement and the Arrangement, upon the filing of the Articles of Arrangement and the issuance of the Certificate of Arrangement, will become effective and be binding on the Company, Parent, the Purchaser, all registered and beneficial Shareholders (including Dissenting Shareholders), holders of Incentive Securities, the holder of the Warrant, the registrar and transfer agent of the Company, the Depositary and all other applicable persons, at and after the Effective Time, in each case without any further act or formality required on the part of any person. The Certificate of Arrangement shall be conclusive evidence that this Plan of Arrangement has become effective and that each of the provisions of Section 2.3 has become effective in the sequence set out therein.

     

    2.3

    Arrangement

    Commencing at the Effective Time, each of the following events shall occur and shall be deemed to occur sequentially as set out below without any further authorization, act or formality, in each case, effective as at five-minute intervals starting at the Effective Time, except as indicated otherwise:

     

      (a)

    the Company shall reduce its issued share capital maintained in respect of the Common Shares by an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate Cash Amount payable to the Shareholders plus the Incentive Securities Cash Balance and distribute to the Shareholders an amount per Common Share equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Amount, plus (ii) (A) the Incentive Securities Cash Balance divided by (B) the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares as at immediately prior to the Effective Time;

     

      (b)

    concurrently with step (a) above, each Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall, notwithstanding the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan or the Option Plan governing such Option or any award or similar agreement pursuant to which any Options were granted or awarded, as applicable, be deemed to be unconditionally vested and exercisable and, without any further action by or on behalf of the holder thereof, shall be deemed to be assigned and surrendered by such holder to the Company in exchange for, in respect of each Option for which the Cash Amount exceeds the applicable exercise price in respect of such Option, (i) an amount in cash from the Company equal to the Cash Amount less the applicable exercise price in respect of such Option, with such amount to be paid to the applicable holders in accordance with Section 4.1(d), and (ii) one CVR, and such Option shall immediately be cancelled and all of the Company’s obligations with respect to each such Option shall be deemed to be fully satisfied. For greater certainty, where the exercise price of any Option is greater than or equal to the Cash Amount, neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the holder of such Option the Incentive Securities Consideration or any other amount in respect of such Option, and the Option shall be immediately cancelled without any payment therefor;

     

      (c)

    concurrently with step (a) above, each RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall, notwithstanding the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan governing such RSU or any award or similar agreement pursuant to which any RSUs were granted or awarded, as applicable, be deemed to be unconditionally vested and, without any further action by or on behalf of the holder thereof, shall be deemed to be assigned and surrendered by such holder to the Company in exchange for (i) an amount in cash from the Company equal to the Cash Amount, with such

     

    A-5


      amount to be paid to the applicable holders in accordance with Section 4.1(d), and (ii) one CVR, and such RSU shall immediately be cancelled and all of the Company’s obligations with respect to each such RSU shall be deemed to be fully satisfied;

     

      (d)

    concurrently with step (a) above, (i) each holder of Incentive Securities shall cease to be a holder of such Incentive Securities, (ii) such holder’s name shall be removed from each applicable register, (iii) the Equity Incentive Plan, Option Plan and any and all award or similar agreements relating to the Incentive Securities shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect, and (iv) such holder shall cease to have any rights as a holder in respect of such Incentive Securities and thereafter have only the right to receive the Incentive Securities Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and Section 2.3(c), as applicable, at the time and in the manner specified in Section 2.3(b), Section 2.3(c) and Section 4.1, as applicable;

     

      (e)

    concurrently with step (a) above, the Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, notwithstanding the terms of such Warrant and any subscription or similar agreement pursuant to which such Warrant was issued, be deemed to be transferred and surrendered by such holder to the Company, and such Warrant shall immediately be cancelled and all of the Company’s obligations with respect to such Warrant shall be deemed to be fully satisfied. For greater certainty, because the exercise price in respect of such Warrant is greater than the Cash Amount, neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the holder of such Warrant the Consideration or any other amount in respect of such Warrant, and such Warrant shall be immediately cancelled and surrendered for no consideration. In addition, (i) the former holder of the Warrant shall cease to be a holder of such Warrant, (ii) such holder’s name shall be removed from the register of Warrants, (iii) the Warrant agreement and any and all subscription or similar agreements relating to the Warrant shall be terminated and shall be of no further force and effect; and (iv) such holder shall cease to have any rights as a holder in respect of such Warrant;

     

      (f)

    each Common Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a Dissenting Shareholder shall be deemed to have been transferred (free and clear of all Encumbrances), without any further act or formality by or on behalf of any Dissenting Shareholder, to the Purchaser, in consideration for a debt claim against the Purchaser for an amount determined under Article 3, and:

     

      (i)

    such Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to be the registered holder of such Common Share and to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid the Fair Value by the Purchaser for such Common Share set out in Section 3.1;

     

      (ii)

    such Dissenting Shareholder’s name shall be removed as the registered holder of Common Shares from the applicable register of Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company; and

     

      (iii)

    the Purchaser shall be deemed to be the transferee of such Common Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances and shall be entered in the register of the Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company;

     

      (g)

    each Common Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than a Common Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised under Section 2.3(f), the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser) shall be deemed to be assigned and transferred by the holder thereof to the Purchaser in exchange for the issuance by the Purchaser of one CVR per Common Share, and:

     

      (i)

    each registered holder of such Common Shares shall cease to be the registered holder thereof and to have any rights as a Shareholder other than the right to be paid one CVR per Common Share;

     

      (ii)

    the name of each such registered holder shall be removed from the register of the Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company; and

     

    A-6


      (iii)

    the Purchaser shall be deemed to be the transferee of such Common Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances and shall be entered in the register of the Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of the Company; and

     

      (h)

    the exchanges and cancellations provided for in this Section 2.3 will be deemed to occur on the Effective Date, notwithstanding that certain of the procedures related thereto are not completed until after the Effective Date.

    ARTICLE 3

    RIGHTS OF DISSENT

     

    3.1

    Rights of Dissent

    Each registered holder of Common Shares as of the Record Date may exercise dissent rights with respect to all Common Shares held by such holder (“Dissent Rights”) in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Chapter XIV – Division I of the QBCA, as modified by this Section 3.1, the Interim Order and any other order of the Court, provided that, as a condition precedent to the exercise of Dissent Rights and notwithstanding Section 376 of the QBCA, the written notice setting forth such a registered Shareholder’s objection to the Arrangement Resolution and exercise of Dissent Rights must be received by the Company not later than 5:00 p.m. (Montréal time) two Business Days immediately preceding the date of the Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time). Each Dissenting Shareholder that duly exercises such holder’s Dissent Rights shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 376 of the QBCA, be deemed to have transferred the Common Shares held by such holder and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised to the Purchaser free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than the right to be paid Fair Value for such Common Shares as set out in this Section 3.1), as provided in Section 2.3(f) and if they:

     

      (a)

    ultimately are entitled to be paid Fair Value for such Common Shares: (i) shall be deemed to have participated in the transactions in Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(f) (but not to have participated in the transaction in Section 2.3(g)); (ii) will be entitled to be paid the Fair Value of such Common Shares by the Purchaser, less any applicable withholdings pursuant to Section 4.3, which Fair Value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the QBCA, shall be determined as of the close of business on the Business Day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted; and (iii) will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any other payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such holder not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Common Shares; or

     

      (b)

    ultimately are not entitled, for any reason, to be paid Fair Value for such Common Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Shareholder that is not a Dissenting Shareholder and shall be entitled to receive only the consideration contemplated by Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(g) hereof that such Dissenting Shareholder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such Dissenting Shareholder had not exercised its Dissent Rights.

     

    3.2

    Recognition of Dissenting Shareholders

     

      (a)

    In no circumstances shall the Purchaser, the Company or any other person be required to recognize a person exercising Dissent Rights in respect of any Common Shares unless such person is the registered holder of those Common Shares as of the Record Date and as of the deadline for exercising Dissent Rights in respect of which such rights are sought to be exercised.

     

      (b)

    For greater certainty, in no case shall the Purchaser, the Company or any other person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of Common Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised after the completion of the transfer under Section 2.3(g), and the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be removed from the Company’s central securities register in

     

    A-7


      respect of those Common Shares in respect which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised at the same time as the event described in Section 2.3(g) occurs.

     

      (c)

    In addition to any other restrictions under Chapter XIV – Division I of the QBCA, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) holders of Incentive Securities, (ii) the holder of the Warrant, and (ii) holders of Common Shares who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote such Common Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

    ARTICLE 4

    CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENTS

     

    4.1

    Payment and Delivery of Consideration

     

      (a)

    The Company shall, following receipt of the Final Order and final agreement on the Closing Cash Calculation, and at least one Business Day prior to the Effective Date, provide or cause to be provided to, the Depositary sufficient funds to satisfy the aggregate Cash Amount and Incentive Securities Cash Balance payable to the Shareholders pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement, which funds shall be held by the Depositary in escrow as agent and nominee for such Shareholders (the terms and conditions of such escrow to be satisfactory to the Company and the Purchaser, each acting reasonably).

     

      (b)

    The Purchaser shall, following receipt of the Final Order, and at least one Business Day prior to the Effective Date, provide or cause to be provided to the Depositary CVRs to satisfy the aggregate number of CVRs payable in accordance herewith, which CVRs shall be held by the Depositary in escrow as agent and nominee for such Securityholders (the terms and conditions of such escrow to be satisfactory to the Company and the Purchaser, each acting reasonably).

     

      (c)

    Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate or DRS Advice which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Common Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3(f) or Section 2.3(g), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, such Shareholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such Shareholder, (i) the cash payment which such holder has the right to receive under the Plan of Arrangement for such Common Shares, without interest, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.3, and any certificate or DRS Advice so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled; and (ii) the number of CVRs which such Shareholder has the right to receive under the Plan of Arrangement for such Common Shares.

     

      (d)

    As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall cause the Company or its Subsidiary (as applicable) to deliver to each former holder of Incentive Securities, (i) the Cash Amount, if any, net of applicable withholdings pursuant to Section 4.3 (and in the case of Options, net of the applicable exercise price thereof), that such holder is entitled to receive under this Plan of Arrangement, either (A) pursuant to the normal payroll practices and procedures of the Company or its Subsidiary, or (B) in the event that payment pursuant to the normal payroll practices and procedures of the Company or its Subsidiary is not applicable to or practicable for any such holder, by cheque (delivered to the address of such holder of Incentive Securities, as reflected on the register maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of Incentive Securities) or such other means as the Company may elect and (ii) the number of CVRs which such former holder of Incentive Securities has the right to receive under the Plan of Arrangement for such Incentive Securities. Notwithstanding that amounts under this Plan of Arrangement are calculated in U.S. dollars, the Company is entitled to make the payments contemplated in this Section 4.1(d) in the applicable currency in respect of which the Company customarily makes payment to such holder by using the applicable Bank of Canada daily exchange rate in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment to such holder.

     

    A-8


      (e)

    Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 4.1, each certificate or DRS Advice that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Common Shares (other than Common Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised and not withdrawn), shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Consideration which the holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 4.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.3. Any such certificate or DRS Advice formerly representing Common Shares not duly surrendered on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in the Company or the Purchaser. On such date, all Consideration to which such former Shareholder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser and shall be paid over by the Depositary to the Purchaser or as directed by the Purchaser.

     

      (f)

    Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the applicable Cash Amount and pro rata share of the Incentive Securities Cash Balance pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser for no consideration.

     

      (g)

    No Affected Securityholder shall be entitled (following the completion of the Plan of Arrangement) to receive any consideration with respect to such Affected Securities other than the cash payment, if any, which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.3 and this Section 4.1 and, for greater certainty, no such holder shall be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith, other than, in respect of Common Shares, the Distribution and any declared but unpaid dividends with a record date prior to the Effective Date. Other than the Distribution, no distribution (including any dividend) declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to any securities of the Company with a record date on or after the Effective Date shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate or DRS Advice which, immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented outstanding Common Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3.

     

    4.2

    Lost Certificates

    In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Common Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.3 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the cash payment that such Shareholder has the right to receive in accordance with Section 2.3 and such Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom such cash payment is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such cash payment, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such sum as the Purchaser may direct (acting reasonably), or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (acting reasonably) against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     

    4.3

    Withholding Rights

    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Arrangement Agreement, this Plan of Arrangement or the CVR Agreement, each Party, the Depositary, their respective affiliates, or any other person that makes a payment under the Arrangement Agreement, this Plan of Arrangement or the CVR Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Consideration or other amount payable or otherwise deliverable to any person, including Shareholders exercising Dissent Rights, former Shareholders and holders of Incentive

     

    A-9


    Securities, pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, this Plan of Arrangement, or the CVR Agreement such Tax or other amounts as the applicable payor determines, acting reasonably, are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom in accordance with the Tax Act or any other provisions of any applicable Laws or the administrative practice of any Governmental Entity. To the extent that Taxes or other amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld Taxes or other amounts shall be treated for all purposes under the Arrangement Agreement this Plan of Arrangement or the CVR Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Any such deducted or withheld amounts shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity as required by applicable Law.

     

    4.4

    No Liens

    Any exchange or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Encumbrances or other claims of third parties of any kind.

     

    4.5

    All aggregate amounts of cash consideration to be received under this Plan of Arrangement will be calculated to the nearest cent ($0.01). All calculations and determinations made in good faith by the Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiary, or the Depositary, as applicable, for the purposes of this Plan of Arrangement shall be conclusive, final and binding.

    CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS

    CVRs; Authority; Appointment of Rights Agent. The CVRs represent the contractual rights of Holders to receive contingent cash payment of the CVR Proceeds from Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Purchaser and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Purchaser are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Rights Agent, and the Representative, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by Purchaser of its obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will: (i) conflict with, or result in any violation of any provision of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents of Purchaser; or (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation under, any loan or credit agreement, note, mortgage, indenture, lease, or other agreement, obligation, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Purchaser or its properties or assets which violation, in the case of clause (ii), individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to perform the obligations forth in this Agreement. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration, notice or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to Purchaser in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser or the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Purchaser to perform the obligations set forth in this Agreement. Purchaser hereby appoints [●] as the Rights Agent to act as rights agent for Purchaser in accordance with the instructions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement, and [●] hereby accepts such appointment.

    Nontransferable. Except for Permitted CVR Transfers, the CVRs may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposition of CVRs, in whole or in part, in violation of this Section 2.2 shall be void ab initio and of no effect.

    No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

    The CVRs will be issued and distributed by Purchaser to each Holder in book-entry form only and will not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

    The Rights Agent will keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the purpose of: (i) identifying the Holders (provided that the CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC, instead of showing individual Holders who received CVRs for Shares held by DTC in street name); and (ii) registering CVRs and Permitted CVR Transfers thereof. With respect to CVRs issued for Common Shares held by DTC on behalf of Holders who held such Common Shares in street name, the CVR Register will initially show one position for Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC, instead of showing the individual Holders of such CVRs. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders with respect to transfers of CVRs unless and until such CVRs are transferred into the name of such street name holders in accordance with Section 2.2. With respect to any payments to be made under Section 2.4 below, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of Common Shares by sending one lump payment to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders. Upon request of a Holder or the Representative to Purchaser, Purchaser will cause the Rights Agent to make available to such Holder or the Representative, as applicable, a

     

    F-7


    list of the other Holders, the number of CVRs held by each Holder, the contact information maintained by the Rights Agent with respect to each Holder and such other information relating to this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by the Representative and is information that is typically stored by a Rights Agent in accordance with general industry practices for similar types of engagements.

    Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2 and subject to the Rights Agent’s bona fide procedures to validate the identity of a Holder, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal representative duly authorized in writing, or the Holder’s survivor (with written documentation evidencing such Person’s status as the Holder’s survivor), and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice and proper validation of the identity of such Holder, the Rights Agent will, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register. As a condition of such transfer, Purchaser and Rights Agent may require a transferring Holder or its transferee to pay to the applicable Governmental Entity any transfer, stamp, documentary, registration, or other similar Tax or governmental charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment by a Holder of a CVR of such applicable Taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent is reasonably satisfied that all such Taxes or charges have been paid or that such Taxes or charges are not applicable. All duly transferred CVRs registered in the CVR Register will be the valid obligations of Purchaser and will entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR will be valid until registered in the CVR Register in accordance with this Agreement.

    A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice and proper validation of the identity of such Holder, the Rights Agent will promptly record the change of address in the CVR Register.

    Payment Procedures: Notices.

    If a Disposition Agreement is entered into during the Disposition Period, then Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Rights Agent (with a copy to the Representative) written notice indicating that a Disposition Agreement has been entered into and a copy of the Disposition Agreement and any ancillary agreements thereto.

    On or prior to each CVR Payment Date, with respect to any Existing Partnership Proceeds, Disposition Proceeds, Tax Proceeds or any Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds, Purchaser shall deliver to the Rights Agent (with a copy to the Representative): (i) written notice indicating that: (A) the Holders are entitled to receive one or more payments with respect to Existing Partnership Proceeds, Disposition Proceeds, Tax Proceeds or Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds, as applicable; (B) the source and trigger event for such payment of Existing Partnership Proceeds, Disposition Proceeds, Tax Proceeds or Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds, as applicable; and (C) a calculation of Gross Proceeds (including any calculation or supporting documentations applicable to any allocation determination for consideration related or not related to a CVR Product), Net Proceeds and any Permitted Deductions used to calculate such Existing Partnership Proceeds or Disposition Proceeds, with reasonable supporting detail for such Permitted Deductions, or other calculations used to calculate the Tax Proceeds or Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds, as applicable (each such notice, a “CVR Payment Notice”); (ii) a letter of instruction setting forth, for each CVR, the CVR Payment Amount with respect thereto (including each component included in the calculation thereof); and (iii) any other letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent. On or prior to any CVR Payment Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Rights Agent the CVR Payment Amounts required by Section 4.2. All payments by Purchaser hereunder shall be made in U.S.

     

    F-8


    dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no further liability in respect of the relevant CVR Payment Amount upon delivery of such CVR Payment Amount in accordance with this Section 2.4(b) and the satisfaction of each of Purchaser’s obligations set forth in this Section 2.4(b). With respect to cash deposited by Purchaser with the bank or financial institution designated by Rights Agent, Rights Agent agrees to cause such bank or financial institution to establish and maintain a separate demand deposit account, therefor in the name of Rights Agent for the benefit of Purchaser. Rights Agent will only draw upon cash in such account(s) as required from time to time in order to make payments as required under this Agreement and any applicable tax withholding payments.

    The Rights Agent will promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the CVR Payment Notice as well as any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights Agent, send each Holder at its registered address a copy of the CVR Payment Notice and, following the applicable CVR Payment Date, promptly pay the CVR Payment Amount to each of the Holders reflected in the CVR Register as of the close of business on the CVR Payment Date.

    Any portion of the CVR Payment Amount that remains undistributed to a Holder six (6) months after the date of the delivery of the applicable CVR Payment Date will be delivered by the Rights Agent to Purchaser, upon demand, and any Holder will thereafter look only to Purchaser for payment of the CVR Payment Amount, without interest, but such Holder will have no greater rights against Purchaser than those accorded to general unsecured creditors of Purchaser under applicable Laws.

    None of Purchaser, any of its Affiliates, including the Company (after the Closing), or the Rights Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of the CVR Payment Amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If, despite Purchaser’s, any of its Affiliates’ and/or the Rights Agent’s commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the CVR Payment Amount to the applicable Holder, the CVR Payment Amount has not been paid prior to two (2) years after the applicable CVR Payment Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the CVR Payment Amount would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), the CVR Payment Amount will, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, become the property of Purchaser, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation herein, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to Purchaser.

    Tax Matters.

    Except to the extent any portion of the CVR Payment Amount is required to be treated as interest pursuant to applicable Laws, Purchaser and the Representative intend that (i) for all U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes: (A) the CVRs received in respect of Common Shares (which for avoidance of doubt does not include the Equity Award CVRs) are treated as additional consideration paid with respect to such Common Shares in connection with the Transactions; (B) any CVR Payment Amount received in respect of such CVRs is treated as an amount realized on the disposition or partial disposition of the applicable CVRs; and (C) any CVR Payment Amount paid in respect of any Equity Award CVR is treated as wages in the year in which the CVR Payment Amount is made (and not upon the receipt of such CVR); and (ii) for all Canadian federal and applicable provincial and territorial income tax purposes, the Equity Award CVRs received by a Person subject to Canadian income taxation will be treated as additional compensation for the disposition of the Options or RSUs, as applicable, pursuant to the Arrangement, and any subsequent CVR Payment Amount received in respect of such Equity Award CVRs will be treated as an amount realized on the disposition or partial disposition of such Equity Award CVRs (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Parent and Purchaser shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required by applicable Laws.

    In addition to any Permitted Deductions, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company, after the Closing) and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from

     

    F-9


    each CVR Payment Amount or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under applicable Laws. With respect to Holders who received Equity Award CVRs, any such withholding may be made, or caused to be made, by the Company through the payroll system or any successor payroll system of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including the Company (after the Closing). Prior to making (or causing to be made) any such Tax deduction or withholding, Purchaser shall instruct the Rights Agent to provide the opportunity for the Holders to provide properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 or appropriate W-8, as applicable, or any other reasonably appropriate forms or information from Holders in order to avoid or reduce withholding. Purchaser, any of its Affiliates (including the Company, after the Closing) and the Rights Agent shall promptly and timely remit, or cause to be remitted, any amounts withheld in respect of Taxes to the appropriate Governmental Entity. To the extent any amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

    Purchaser and the Representative intend that each payment provided under this Agreement with respect to an Equity Award CVR (the “Payments”) is a separate “payment” for purposes Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and the Representative intend that the Payments (i) shall be deemed conditional payments subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and other guidance issued thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively “Section 409A”), and (ii) satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exemption from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) and, to the extent not so exempt, that the Payments comply, and this Agreement be interpreted to the greatest extent possible, as consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(A) – that is, as “transaction-based compensation.” To the extent this Agreement (and any definitions hereunder), or any payments hereunder, are not exempt, they shall be construed in a manner that complies with Section 409A, including by reason of satisfying the “transaction-based compensation” provisions thereunder and shall incorporate by reference all required definitions and payment terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Purchaser, the Company (after the Closing) or the manager of Purchaser, or any of their respective representatives make any representation or warranty and will have no liability to a Holder or transferee or any other Person if any payments under any provisions of this Agreement are determined to constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code (or any similar provisions of applicable state or local law) that are subject to certain additional federal, state or other taxes. Purchaser may provide each recipient of an Equity Award CVR with a notice or award agreement setting forth the terms and condition of the holder’s entitlement to payments under such Equity Award CVR in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Rights Agent makes no representations or warranties with respect to tax treatment of the CVRs. None of the Rights Agent, its Affiliates or the services provided by the Rights Agent hereunder are intended to provide legal, tax or financial advice.

    No Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest in Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

    The CVRs will not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest will not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.

    The CVRs will not represent any equity or ownership interest in Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that a CVR shall not constitute a security of Purchaser.

    Each Holder acknowledges and agrees to the appointment and authority of the Representative to act as the exclusive representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of such Holder and all Holders as set forth in this Agreement. Each Holder agrees that such Holder will not challenge or contest any action, inaction, determination or decision of the Representative or the authority or power of the Representative and will not threaten, bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid any action, which challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement, including the provisions relating to the authority of

     

    F-10


    the Representative to act on behalf of such Holder and all Holders as set forth in this Agreement. All actions taken by the Representative under this Agreement shall be binding upon each Holder and such Holder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Holder, and all defenses which may be available to any Holder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement are waived.

    Purchaser, its manager and its officers and Affiliates will not be deemed to have any fiduciary or similar duties to any Holder by virtue of this Agreement.

    It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the CVRs and the possibility of any payment hereunder with respect thereto are highly speculative and subject to numerous factors outside of Purchaser’s control, and there is no assurance that Holders will receive any payments under this Agreement or in connection with the CVRs. The parties acknowledge that it is possible that no Existing Partnership Proceeds, Disposition Proceeds, Tax Proceeds or Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds will accrue during the Existing Partnership Period and that there will not be any Gross Proceeds that may be the subject of a CVR Payment Amount.

    Ability to Renounce or Abandon CVR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder or Holder’s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted CVR Transfer may, at any time, at such Holder’s option, agree to renounce, in whole or in part, its rights under this Agreement and abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a CVR by transferring such CVR to Purchaser without consideration therefor, effected by written notice to the Rights Agent, the Representative and Purchaser, which renouncement and abandonment notice, if given, shall be irrevocable. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including the Company (after the Closing), from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion. Any CVRs acquired by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including the Company (after the Closing), shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes of the definition of Acting Holders and ARTICLE VI and Section 6.3 hereunder.

    THE RIGHTS AGENT

    Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The provisions of this Article III shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent, and the exercise, termination and expiration of the CVRs. The Rights Agent will not have any liability for any actions taken or not taken in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent of its bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct (in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). IN NO EVENT WILL THE RIGHTS AGENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, DAMAGE TO REPUTATION OR LOST SAVINGS), EVEN IF FORESEEABLE AND EVEN IF RIGHTS AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

    Certain Rights of Rights Agent. The Rights Agent undertakes to perform only the duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent. In addition, Purchaser and the Representative (on behalf of the Holders) each agree that the Rights Agent shall have the following rights:

    the Rights Agent may rely on and will be protected and held harmless by Purchaser in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, power of attorney, endorsement, direction, consent, order or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged or presented by the proper party or parties;

     

    F-11


    the Rights Agent may rely on and shall be held harmless by Purchaser in acting upon written (including electronically transmitted) or oral instructions from Purchaser, the Representative or any Holder with respect to any matter relating to its acting as Rights Agent;

    whenever the Rights Agent deems it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, the Rights Agent may: (i) rely upon an Officer’s Certificate, which certificate shall be full authorization and protection to the Rights Agent; and (ii) the Rights Agent shall, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on its part (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), incur no liability and be held harmless by Purchaser for or in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such Officer’s Certificate;

    the Rights Agent may engage and consult with counsel of its selection and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of counsel will, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct (in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), provide full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent and the Rights Agent shall be held harmless by Purchaser in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

    the permissive rights of the Rights Agent to do things enumerated in this Agreement will not be construed as a duty;

    the Rights Agent will not be required to give any note or surety in respect of the execution of such powers or otherwise in respect of the CVR Proceeds;

    the Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of, and shall be held harmless by Purchaser with respect to, any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by Purchaser only;

    the Rights Agent will have no liability and shall be held harmless by Purchaser in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent and the enforceability of this Agreement against the Rights Agent assuming the due execution and delivery hereof by Purchaser), nor shall it be responsible for any breach by Purchaser of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement;

    the Rights Agent shall not be required to perform any action if such action would cause the Rights Agent to violate any applicable law, regulation or court order;

    the Rights Agent shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of any event of which it was to receive notice thereof hereunder, and the Rights Agent shall be fully protected and shall incur no liability for failing to take any action in connection therewith, unless and until it has received such notice in writing;

    the Rights Agent shall not assume any obligations or relationship of agency or trust with the Representative or any Holder;

    Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent and its affiliates, and its and their respective employees, officers, directors, representatives and advisors for, and hold such Persons harmless against, any loss, liability, damage, judgment, fine, penalty, cost or expense (each, a “Loss”) arising out of or in connection with the Rights Agent’s duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable, documented and necessary out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending Rights Agent against any claims, charges, demands, actions or suits arising out of or in connection with the execution, acceptance, administration, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement or enforcing its rights hereunder, unless such Loss has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of Rights Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct; provided that this Section 3.2(l) shall not apply with respect to income, receipt, franchise or similar Taxes;

     

    F-12


    Purchaser agrees: (i) to pay the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in connection with this Agreement as agreed upon in writing by the Rights Agent and Purchaser on or prior to the date hereof; and (ii) to reimburse the Rights Agent for all reasonable, documented and necessary out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Rights Agent in connection with the administration by the Rights Agent of its duties hereunder, including all stamp and transfer Taxes (and excluding for the avoidance of doubt any income, receipt, franchise or similar) and governmental charges, except that Purchaser will have no obligation to pay the fees of the Rights Agent or reimburse the Rights Agent for the fees of counsel in connection with any lawsuit initiated by the Rights Agent on behalf of itself, except in the case of any suit enforcing the provisions of Section 2.4(a), Section 2.4(b), Section 2.4(c), Section 2.4(d) or Section 3.2, if Purchaser is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Rights Agent or the Holders, as applicable in such suit; and

    no provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

    Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

    The Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser (with a copy to the Representative) specifying a date when such resignation will take effect, which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified but in no event will such resignation become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed. The Representative shall have the right to remove Rights Agent at any time by specifying a date when such removal will take effect but no such removal will become effective until a successor Rights Agent has been appointed. Notice of such removal will be given by the Representative to Rights Agent (with a copy to Purchaser), which notice will be sent at least sixty (60) days prior to the date so specified.

    If the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or becomes incapable of acting, Purchaser and the Representative, acting in concert, will, as soon as is reasonably possible, appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who, unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Acting Holders, shall be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of a commercial bank. The successor Rights Agent so appointed will, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the Acting Holders may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with Section 3.5, become the successor Rights Agent.

    Purchaser will give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each notice will include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If Purchaser fails to send such notice within ten (10) Business Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent in accordance with Section 3.4, the successor Rights Agent will cause the notice to be mailed at the expense of Purchaser. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.3, however, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

    Transition Support. Rights Agent will cooperate with Purchaser, the Representative and any successor Rights Agent as reasonably requested in connection with the transition of the duties and responsibilities of the Rights Agent to the successor Rights Agent, including the transfer of all relevant data, including transferring the CVR Register to the successor Rights Agent.

     

    F-13


    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed pursuant to Section 3.3(b) hereunder will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, will become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent. On request of Purchaser or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent will execute and deliver an instrument transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent.

    COVENANTS

    List of Holders. Purchaser will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Rights Agent (with a copy to the Representative) in such form as Purchaser receives from the Company’s transfer agent (or other agent performing similar services for Purchaser), the names and addresses of the Holders of such securities within thirty (30) days of the Closing.

    Payment of CVR Payment Amounts. Purchaser shall, on or prior to any CVR Payment Date, deposit with the bank or financial institution designated by the Rights Agent, for payment to the Holders in accordance with Section 2.4, the aggregate amount necessary to pay the CVR Payment Amount to each Holder.

    Discretion and Decision-Making Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Purchaser’s obligations as set forth in Section 4.6, (a) Purchaser and its Affiliates, including the Company (after the Closing), shall have the power and right to control all aspects of their businesses and operations (and all of their assets and products), and subject to its compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser and its Affiliates, including the Company (after the Closing), may exercise or refrain from exercising such power and right as it may deem appropriate and in the best overall interests of Purchaser and its Affiliates, including the Company (after the Closing), and its and their stockholders, rather than the interest of the Holders; and (b) following the Efforts Disposition Period, the Company shall be permitted to take (or omit) any action in respect of the CVR Products.

    Audit Right. Upon the prior written request by the Representative, Purchaser shall meet at reasonable times during normal business hours with the Representative to discuss the content of any CVR Payment Notice. Purchaser agrees to maintain, for at least six (6) months after the last possible payment of CVR Proceeds, all books and records relevant to the calculation of a CVR Payment Amount and the amount of Gross Proceeds, Net Proceeds and Permitted Deductions or any other calculations with respect to the Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds, as applicable. Subject to reasonable advance written notice from the Representative and prior execution and delivery by an independent accounting firm of national reputation chosen by the Representative (the “Accountant”) of a reasonable and customary confidentiality/nonuse agreement, Purchaser shall permit the Representative and the Accountant, acting as agent of the Representative (on behalf of the Holders), for one (1) year after the last possible payment of CVR Proceeds, to have access during normal business hours to the books and records of Purchaser as may be reasonably necessary to audit the calculation of such CVR Payment Amount, the calculation of the amount of Gross Proceeds, Net Proceeds and Permitted Deductions or any calculations with respect to the Additional Closing Net Cash Proceeds, as applicable.

    Assignments. Purchaser shall not, in whole or in part, assign any of its obligations under this Agreement other than in accordance with the terms of Section 6.3.

    Additional Covenants.

    During the Existing Partnership Period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company (after the Closing)), and licensees and rights transferees to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) maintain and enforce the Existing Partnership Agreements and (ii) comply in all material respects with their respective covenants and obligations under each Existing Partnership Agreement.

     

    F-14


    During the Efforts Disposition Period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company (after the Closing)), licensees and rights transferees to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) enter into one or more Disposition Agreements as promptly as practicable following the Closing, (ii) maintain and enforce any Disposition Agreements entered into prior to or following the Closing Date and (iii) retain an employee or consultant of Purchaser or the Company for the purpose of maintaining and preserving the CVR Products.

    During the Efforts Disposition Period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company (after the Closing)), and licensees and rights transferees to, use commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with their respective covenants and obligations under each such Disposition Agreement.

    During the Efforts Disposition Period, Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company (after the Closing)), licensees and rights transferees to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and prosecute the intellectual property relating to the CVR Products. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and (after the Closing) the Company are not obligated to pursue new clinical, manufacturing or enabling work with respect to the CVR Products, except as otherwise required pursuant to the applicable Disposition Agreement, Existing Partnership Agreement, or agreement governing a Permitted Disposition.

    During the Existing Partnership Period and the Disposition Period, Purchaser shall, and (after the Closing) shall cause the Company to maintain the CVRs (including fees and expenses related to the Rights Agent and the Representative).

    During the Disposition Period: (i) Purchaser shall, and (after the Closing) shall cause the Company to, maintain records in the ordinary course of business pursuant to record-keeping procedures normally used by Purchaser and the Company regarding their respective activities (including its resources and efforts) with respect to entering into Disposition Agreements; and (ii) to the extent the Company licenses, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers intellectual property and other rights (including, without limitation, all data, marketing authorizations and applications for marketing authorization), assets, rights, powers, privileges and Contracts, the Company will require the licensee, purchaser, assignee, or transferee, as applicable to provide the information necessary for Purchaser to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

    During the Existing Partnership Period (including any Tail Period), upon the reasonable written request from the Representative, Purchaser will provide: (i) the Representative with a written update in reasonable detail describing the progress, status and anticipated trajectory of efforts in respect of the Existing Partnerships; and (ii) the anticipated timing of receiving payments in respect of the Existing Partnerships, in each case up to (A) one time in a fiscal quarter of each calendar year during the Existing Partnership Period and (B) one time during the Tail Period. The Representative agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any such update or other confidential information provided by Purchaser to the Representative under this Agreement; provided that the Representative may disclose any such update or other information to the Representative.

    During the Disposition Period (including any Tail Period), upon the reasonable written request from the Representative, Purchaser will provide: (i) the Representative with a written update in reasonable detail describing the progress, status and anticipated trajectory of efforts in respect of the Disposition Agreement; and (ii) the anticipated timing of receiving payments in respect of the Disposition Agreements, in each case up to (A) one time in a fiscal quarter of each calendar year during the Disposition Period and (B) one time during the Tail Period. The Representative agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any such update or other confidential information provided by Purchaser to the Representative under this Agreement; provided that the Representative may disclose any such update or other information to the Representative of its Affiliates.

    F-15


    interests in the Company (or its successor) or the applicable CVR Products, as applicable, to assume Purchaser’s or its successor’s (as applicable depending upon the structure of the Change of Control) obligations, duties and covenants under this Agreement.

    Without the consent of any Holders, the Representative, Purchaser and the Rights Agent, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more amendments hereto, for any of the following purposes:

    to evidence the succession of another Person as a successor Rights Agent or the Representative and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants and obligations of the Rights Agent or the Representative, as applicable, herein in accordance with Section 3.3 and Section 3.4; or

    Any party may specify a different address by giving notice in accordance with this Section 6.1.

    Notice to Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders, such notice will be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the Holder’s address as it appears in the CVR Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

    Successors and Assigns. Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party: (i) to any controlled Affiliate of Purchaser, but only for so long as it remains a controlled Affiliate of Purchaser (and Purchaser shall cause such Affiliate to immediately assign all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to Purchaser if and when such Affiliate ceases to be a controlled Affiliate of Purchaser); (ii) in compliance with Section 4.6(i) or (iii) otherwise with the prior written consent of the Acting Holders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), any other Person (any permitted assignee under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), an “Assignee”), in each case provided that the Assignee agrees to assume and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement as if it were Purchaser. Any Assignee may thereafter assign all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder in the same manner, and subject to the same conditions, as Purchaser pursuant to the prior sentence. In connection with any assignment to an Assignee described in clauses (i) or (ii) above in this Section 6.3, Purchaser shall agree to remain liable for the performance by each Assignee of all obligations of Purchaser hereunder with such Assignee substituted for Purchaser under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each of Purchaser’s successors and each Assignee. Subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 6.3 relating to assignments, this Agreement shall not restrict Purchaser’s ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell, issue or dispose of its stock or other equity interests or assets to, any other Person. Each of Purchaser’s successors and Assignees shall expressly assume by an instrument supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Rights Agent (with a copy to the Representative), the due and punctual payment of the CVR Proceeds and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and obligations of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Purchaser. The Rights Agent may not assign this Agreement without the Representative’s written consent, except to an affiliate of the Rights Agent in connection with a corporate restructuring or to a successor Rights Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any such rights in violation of this Section 6.3 shall be void and of no effect.

    Benefits of Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will give to any Person (other than the Rights Agent, the Representative, Purchaser, Purchaser’s successors and assignees, the Holders and the Holders’ successors and assigns pursuant to a Permitted CVR Transfer) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the foregoing. The rights of Holders and their successors and assigns pursuant to Permitted CVR Transfers are limited to those expressly provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Representative shall not commence any legal proceeding under this Agreement on behalf of or to enforce the rights of the Holders except at the direction of and with the prior written consent of the Acting Holders. Except for the rights of the Rights Agent and the Representative set forth herein, the Acting Holders will have the sole right, on behalf of all Holders, by virtue of or under any provision of this Agreement, to institute any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, and no individual Holder or other group of Holders will be entitled to exercise such rights. Reasonable expenditures incurred by such Holders in connection with any enforcement action hereunder may be deducted from any damages or settlement obtained prior to the distribution of any remainder to Holders generally. Holders acting pursuant to this provision on behalf of all Holders shall have no liability to the other Holders for such actions. The Representative and all Holders (including the Acting Holders) must enforce any such legal or equitable rights, remedies or claims under this Agreement against Purchaser and not against the Rights Agent.

    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

    This Agreement, the CVRs and all actions arising under or in connection therewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

    Each of the parties hereto (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if (but only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware and any appellate court therefrom (collectively, the “Delaware Courts”); and (ii) consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 6.1. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally: (A) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Delaware Courts; (B) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Delaware Courts; (C) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the jurisdiction or laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Courts; and (D) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Delaware Courts.

    EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 6.5(C).

    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The parties further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

    Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart.

    Termination. This Agreement will be terminated and of no force or effect, the parties hereto will have no liability hereunder (other than with respect to monies due and owing by Purchaser to the Rights Agent and/or the Representative), and no payments will be required to be made, upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the delivery by the Rights Agent to each Holder of all CVR Payment Amounts required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement; (b) the delivery of a written notice of termination duly executed by Purchaser, the Company and the Acting Holders; or (c) the Expiration Date; provided, that if on the Expiration Date (i) Gross Proceeds are due to, but not yet received by, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or (ii) CVR Payment Amounts have been determined to be payable to Holders pursuant hereto which have not yet been paid, in each of cases (i) and (ii), then this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with this Section 6.8(c) on the date that is the first anniversary of the Expiration Date (such additional period, the “Tail Period”). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding

     

    F-19


    anything to the contrary, nothing herein shall terminate or otherwise negatively affect any of the rights or remedies of the Representative with respect to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Arrangement Agreement (including the schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto and the documents and instruments referred to therein) contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto and thereto with reference to the transactions and matters contemplated hereby and thereby and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, among the parties with respect hereto and thereto.

    Legal Holiday. In the event that the CVR Payment Date shall not be a Business Day, then, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any payment required to be made in respect of the CVRs on such date need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the CVR Payment Date.

    2.

    3.

    The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that (a) this letter agreement has been duly executed and delivered and is a valid and binding agreement, enforceable against the undersigned in accordance with its terms, and the performance by the undersigned of its obligations hereunder will not constitute a violation or breach of or default under, or conflict with, any contract, commitment, agreement, understanding or arrangement of any kind to which the undersigned will be a party and by which the undersigned will be bound at the time of such performance, (b) he or she has been afforded the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice and confirms by the execution of this letter agreement that he or she has either done so or waived his or her right to do so in connection with the entering into of this letter agreement, and that any failure on the undersigned’s part to seek independent legal advice shall not affect (and the undersigned shall not assert that it affects) the validity, enforceability or effect of this letter agreement, (c) as of the date hereof, he or she, or one of his or her Affiliates or associates is, the sole, registered and/or beneficial owner of the number of Shares, Options, RSUs any other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares, or any other rights to acquire Shares, as set forth on the signature page to this letter agreement (collectively, “Subject Securities”), with good title thereto free of any and all encumbrances and demands of any nature or kind whatsoever, and he or she has the sole right to vote (in the case of the Shares) and sell (in the case of transferable Subject Securities) all of the Subject Securities, (d) except for the Agreement and this letter agreement, no person has any agreement or option, or any right or privilege (whether by law, preemptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option for the purchase, acquisition or transfer from the undersigned or the applicable holder of any of the Subject Securities, (e) to the undersigned’s knowledge, there is no claim, action, litigation, audit, investigation, lawsuit, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding pending or threatened against or otherwise affecting the undersigned or this letter agreement which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on or otherwise impair the ability of the undersigned to deliver this letter agreement and to perform its obligations contemplated hereby, and (f) the only securities of the Company beneficially owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the undersigned on the date hereof are the Subject Securities. The undersigned shall not, directly or indirectly (including through any of its Representatives), take any action that would make any representation or warranty made herein untrue or incorrect.

    4.

    Each party hereto shall, at the request of the other party, promptly execute and deliver any and all such further documents and instruments and take or cause to be taken any and all such further actions as may reasonably be required in order to fully perform and carry out the terms and intent of this letter agreement.

     

    5.

    7.
