(b) For greater certainty, in no case shall the Purchaser, the Company or any other Person be required to recognize Dissenting Holders as holders of the Voting Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised after the completion of the transfer under Section 2.3(l), and the names of such Dissenting Holders shall be removed from the register of holders of Voting Shares in respect of the Voting Shares for which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised at the same time as the event described in Section 2.3(l) occurs.

(c) After the Effective Time and until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by this Section 4.1, each DRS Advice or certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Voting Shares shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a cash payment in lieu of such DRS Advice or certificate as contemplated in this Section 4.1.

(d) Any DRS Advice or certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Voting Shares not duly surrendered with all other documents required by this Section 4.1 on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder thereof of any kind or nature against or in the Company, Amalco, the Purchaser or the Depositary. On such date, all consideration to which such former holder was entitled under this Plan of Arrangement shall be deemed to have been surrendered to the Purchaser or Company, as applicable, together with all entitlements to dividends, distributions and interest thereon held for such former registered holder.

Notwithstanding that amounts under this Plan of Arrangement are calculated in Canadian dollars, Amalco is entitled to make the payments contemplated in this Section 4.1(e) 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 date that is five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the Effective Date.

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Voting 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 issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the aggregate consideration in respect thereof which such holder is entitled to receive under this Plan of Arrangement, deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such issuance in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such consideration is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such consideration, give an affidavit (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Depositary) of the claimed loss, theft or destruction of such certificate and a bond or surety satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such reasonable and customary sum as the Purchaser and the Depositary may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser, the Company (or Amalco, as applicable) and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary, each acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser, the Company, Amalco and/or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 4.3 Rounding of Cash

If the aggregate cash amount which a Party is entitled to receive pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement would otherwise include a fraction of $0.01, then the aggregate cash amount to which such Party shall be entitled to receive shall be rounded down to the nearest whole $0.01.

Section 4.4 Withholding Rights

The Purchaser, Amalco and the Depositary, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable or otherwise deliverable to any Amalco Securityholders under this Plan of Arrangement such amounts as the Purchaser, Amalco or the Depositary, as applicable, are required or reasonably believe to be required to deduct and withhold from such consideration under any provision of any Law in respect of Taxes.
