It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of New Oroperu Options for Replacement Options provided for in this Section 4.6(c).

  • (iv) New Oroperu has provided First Light a copy of the Acquisition Proposal that constitutes the Superior Proposal;

During the Matching Period, or such longer period as New Oroperu may approve in writing for such purpose the New Oroperu Board shall review any offer made by First Light under Section 5.4(a)(vi) to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in good faith in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal. If the New Oroperu Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, New Oroperu shall promptly so advise First Light, and New Oroperu and First Light shall amend this Agreement to reflect such offer made by First Light, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

  • (b) Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.4, and First Light shall be afforded a new five (5) Business Day Matching Period from the later of the date on which First Light received the Superior Proposal Notice and a copy of the Acquisition Proposal that constitutes the new Superior Proposal from New Oroperu.

  • (c) The New Oroperu Board shall promptly reaffirm the New Oroperu Board Recommendation by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the New Oroperu Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement as contemplated under Section 5.4(b) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior

estimate of the damages, including opportunity costs, which each Party will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of this Agreement, and is not a penalty. Each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the payment of an amount pursuant to this Section 8.2 in the manner provided herein is the sole and exclusive remedy of the other Party in respect of the event giving rise to such payment, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.2, and no payment of any such amount, will relieve or have the effect of relieving the other Party in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by such Party as a result of an intentional or wilful breach of this Agreement, including the intentional or wilful making of a misrepresentation in this Agreement and nothing contained in this Section 8.2 will preclude the Parties from seeking injunctive relief in accordance with Section 8.6 to restrain the breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such acts, covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting a bond or security in connection therewith.

CW16554234.18 51256369.12 51256369.16

A-5

  • (b) immediately thereafter, each issued and outstanding New Oroperu Share (other than (i) any New Oroperu Share in respect of which a registered New Oroperu Shareholder has validly exercised his, her or its Dissent Right and (ii) New Oroperu Shares held by First Light) will be deemed to have been transferred to, and acquired by First Light, without any act or formality on the part of the holder of such New Oroperu Share or First Light, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, in exchange for such number of First Light Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, provided that the aggregate number of First Light Shares payable to any New Oroperu Shareholder, if calculated to include a fraction of a First Light Share, will be rounded to the nearest whole First Light Share, with no consideration being paid for the fractional share, and the name of each such New Oroperu Shareholder will be removed from the register of holders of New Oroperu Shares and added to the register of holders of First Light Shares, and First Light will be recorded as the registered holder of such New Oroperu Shares so exchanged and will be deemed to be the legal and beneficial owner thereof;

The exercise price per First Light Share subject to a Replacement Option shall be an amount equal to the quotient of: (A) the exercise price per New Oroperu Share subject to each such New Oroperu Option immediately before the Effective Time; divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio, provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of New Oroperu Options for Replacement Options provided for in this Section 3.1(c). Therefore, in the event that the Replacement Option In-The Money Amount in respect of a Replacement Option exceeds the New Oroperu Option In-The Money Amount in respect of the New Oroperu Option for which it is exchanged, the number of First Light Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the Replacement Option at and after the Effective Time will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the Replacement Option In-The Money Amount in respect of the Replacement Option does not exceed the New Oroperu Option In-The Money Amount in respect of the New Oroperu Option and the ratio of the amount payable to acquire such shares to the value of such shares to be acquired shall be unchanged. The Replacement Options issued pursuant to this Section 3.1(c) shall be for a term expiring on the date that is one year following the Effective Date. First Light shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of First Light Shares for delivery upon exercise of the Replacement Options exchanged for New Oroperu Options in accordance with this Section 3.1(c);

  • (d) those New Oroperu Options that are not exchanged at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 3.1(c) hereof shall be deemed to have vested immediately prior to the Effective

  • (e) all of the New Oroperu Options held by 2725487 Ontario Limited on the date of this Agreement that have not expired or been terminated prior to the Effective Date shall be deemed to be exchanged for Replacement Options to acquire from First Light the number of First Light Shares equal to the product of: (A) the number of New Oroperu Shares subject to such New Oroperu Options immediately prior to the Effective Time; multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, provided that, if the foregoing would result in the issuance of a fraction of an First Light Share on any particular exercise of Replacement Options, then the number of First Light Shares otherwise issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of First Light Shares. The exercise price per First Light Share subject to a Replacement Option shall be an amount equal to the quotient of: (A) the exercise price per New Oroperu Share subject to each such New Oroperu Option immediately before the Effective Time; divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio, provided that the aggregate exercise price payable on any particular exercise of Replacement Options shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax Act apply to the exchange of New Oroperu Options for Replacement Options provided for in this Section 3.1(e). Therefore, in the event that the Replacement Option In-The Money Amount in respect of a Replacement Option exceeds the New Oroperu Option In-The Money Amount in respect of the New Oroperu Option for which it is exchanged, the number of First Light Shares which may be acquired on exercise of the Replacement Option at and after the Effective Time will be adjusted accordingly with effect at and from the Effective Time to ensure that the Replacement Option In-The Money Amount in respect of the Replacement Option does not exceed the New Oroperu Option In-The Money Amount in respect of the New Oroperu Option and the ratio of the amount payable to acquire such shares to the value of such shares to be acquired shall be unchanged. The Replacement Options issued pursuant to this Section 3.1(e) shall be for a term expiring on the date that is 90 days following the Effective Date. First Light shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of First Light Shares for delivery upon exercise of the Replacement Options exchanged for New Oroperu Options in accordance with this Section 3.1(e).

  • (f) all of the New Oroperu Options held by Rosa Caro shall be deemed to have vested immediately prior to the Effective Time and shall be transferred and disposed of to New Oroperu for cancellation at the Effective Time for an amount of cash equal to the positive difference between the exercise price and the 20-day volume weighted average share price of a New Oroperu share for the 20-day period ending on the day before the date of the first public announcement of this Agreement.

  • (g) each New Oroperu Warrant shall be amended to provide that, upon exercise, the New Oroperu Warrantholder will be entitled to acquire from First Light the number of First Light Shares equal to the product of: (A) the number of New Oroperu Shares subject to such New Oroperu Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time; multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, provided that, if the foregoing would result in the issuance of a fraction of an First Light Share on any particular exercise of New Oroperu Warrants, then the number of First Light Shares otherwise issued shall be rounded down to the nearest

CW16554234.18 51256369.12 51256369.16

whole number of First Light Shares. The exercise price per First Light Share shall be an amount equal to the quotient of: (A) the exercise price per New Oroperu Share subject to each such New Oroperu Warrant immediately before the Effective Time; divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

  • 4.6 Any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Date represented outstanding New Oroperu Shares and which has not been surrendered, with all other instruments required by this Article 4, on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date, will cease to represent any claim against or interest of any kind or nature in New Oroperu, First Light or the Depositary.

  • 4.7 In the event any certificate, which immediately before the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding New Oroperu Shares that was exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1, is 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 issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the consideration to which such Person is entitled in respect of the New Oroperu Shares represented by such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate pursuant to Section 3.1 deliverable in accordance with such Person’s Transmittal Letter. When authorizing such issuances or payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom consideration is to be issued and/or paid will, as a condition precedent to the issuance and/or payment thereof, give a bond satisfactory to First Light and its transfer agent in such sum as First Light may direct or otherwise indemnify First Light in a manner satisfactory to it, against any claim that may be made against one or both of them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
