The Parties agree that, in accordance with and subject to the provisions set forth in Sections 237-247 of the BCBCA, the SPR Shareholders who duly exercise their Dissent Rights with respect to their SPR Shares
1376-5660-6235, v. 6
(the "SPR Dissent Shares"), will be deemed to have transferred their SPR Dissent Shares to SPR immediately prior to the Effective Time for cancellation without any repayment of capital in respect thereof in consideration for a debt claim against SPR in an amount equal to the fair value of their SPR Shares and the certificates representing the same will cease to represent any right or claim of any nature or kind.
If a SPR Shareholder does not validly exercise his, her or its Dissent Rights with respect to his, her or its SPR Shares, such SPR Shareholder shall be deemed to have participated in the Amalgamation on the same basis as a SPR Shareholder who did not exercise Dissent Rights, and will receive CCC Shares in exchange for their SPR Shares on the same basis as every other SPR Shareholder who has not exercised Dissent Rights in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(i).
(b) SPR will provide prompt notice to CCC of any SPR Shareholder’s exercise or purported exercise of Dissent Rights.
(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in accordance with Sections 237-247 of the BCBCA, in no circumstances will CCC, SPR, Subco or Amalco be required to recognize a Person exercising Dissent Rights unless such Person is a registered holder of those SPR Shares in respect of which such Dissent Rights are sought to be exercised. In addition, and for greater certainty, the Parties acknowledge and agree that in no case will CCC, SPR, Subco or Amalco be required to recognize SPR Dissenting Shareholders as holders of SPR Shares after the Effective Time, and the names of such SPR Dissenting Shareholders will be deleted from the central securities register of SPR as of the Effective Time. In addition to any other restrictions under the BCBCA, the Parties acknowledge and agree that SPR Shareholders who vote, or who have instructed a proxyholder to vote, in favour of the SPR Amalgamation Resolution shall be deemed to have not exercised Dissent Rights in respect of such SPR Shares.
2.6 Certificates
The Parties agree that, on the Effective Date:
(a) other than SPR Dissenting Shareholders, the SPR Shareholders shall cease to be SPR Shareholders and shall be deemed to be the registered holders of CCC Shares to which they are entitled calculated in accordance with the provisions thereof;
(b) CCC will issue or cause to be issued certificates (if applicable), direct registration statements, or electronic positions within CDS representing the appropriate number of CCC Shares issuable to the former SPR Shareholders (other than SPR Dissenting Shareholders) by:
(i) depositing such CCC Shares with the Depositary and/or the electronic positions representing such CCC Shares with CDS, as applicable, to satisfy the consideration issuable to such SPR Shareholders; and
1376-5660-6235, v. 6
(ii) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, causing the Depositary to forward to, or hold for pick-up by, each former SPR Shareholder (other than a SPR Dissenting Shareholder) that submitted a duly completed letter of transmittal to the Depositary, together with the certificate(s), if any, representing the SPR Shares held by such SPR Shareholder or such other evidence of ownership of such SPR Shares as is satisfactory to the Depositary, acting reasonably,
A. the certificates representing the CCC Shares to which such SPR Shareholder is entitled, or
B. a direct registration statement or confirmation of a non-certificated electronic position transfer in CDS representing the CCC Shares to which such SPR Shareholder is entitled.
2.7 CCC Guarantee
