  • (iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant . The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Shareholder Representative, on the one hand, and by Purchaser, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Shareholder Representative or Purchaser, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Shareholder Representative and Purchaser.

If the Adjusted EBITDA for a particular Calculation Period does not exceed the applicable EBITDA Threshold, the Earn-Out Amount for such Calculation Period shall be nil and an amount equal to the amount of such shortfall shall be deducted from the Adjusted EBITDA when calculating the Earn-Out Amount for the next Calculation Period.

(b) Procedures Applicable to Determination of the Earn-Out Payments.

  • (i) On or before the date which is 120 days after the last day of each Calculation Period (each such date, an “ Earn-Out Calculation Delivery Date ”), Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Shareholder Representative a written statement (in each case, an “ Earn-Out Calculation Statement ”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Purchaser's determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable Calculation Period and calculation of the resulting Earn-Out Payment (in each case, an “ Earn-Out Calculation ”).

  • (ii) Shareholder Representative shall have 30 days after receipt of the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for each Calculation Period (in each case, the “ Review Period ”) to review the Earn-Out Calculation Statement and the Earn-Out Calculation set forth therein. During the Review Period, Shareholder Representative and its accountants shall have the right to inspect Amalco’s books and records during normal business hours at Amalco’s offices, upon reasonable prior notice and solely for purposes reasonably related to the determinations of Adjusted EBITDA and the resulting Earn-Out Payment. Before the expiration of the Review Period, Shareholder Representative may object to

CW17369373.1

  • 22 -

the Earn-Out Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement for the applicable Calculation Period by delivering a written notice of objection (an “ Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice ”) to Purchaser; provided that the only basis on which Shareholder Representative may dispute any matter in the EarnOut Calculation is manifest error. Any Earn-out Calculation Objection Notice shall specify the items in the applicable Earn-Out Calculation disputed by Shareholder Representative and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for such objection and the amount in dispute. If Shareholder Representative fails to deliver an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice to Purchaser before the expiration of the Review Period, then the Earn-Out Calculation set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Statement shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. If Shareholder Representative timely delivers an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice, Purchaser and Shareholder Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items and agree upon the resulting amount of the Adjusted EBITDA and the Earn-Out Payment for the applicable Calculation Period. If Purchaser and Shareholder Representative have not reached an agreement within 30 days after such an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice has been given, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent chartered professional accountants, other than Shareholder Representative's accountant or Purchaser's accountant, appointed by mutual agreement of Purchaser and Shareholder Representative (the “ Independent Accountant ”). The Independent Accountant shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Calculation as promptly as practicable but in no event greater than 30 days after such submission to the Independent Accountant, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Accountant, Purchaser and Shareholder Representative shall each furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request. The Independent Accountant shall resolve the disputed items as an expert and not as an arbitrator based solely on the applicable definitions and other terms in this Agreement and the presentations by Purchaser and Shareholder Representative, and not by independent review. The resolution of the dispute and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA that is the subject of the applicable Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice by the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Shareholder Representative and Purchaser in proportion to the amounts by which their respective calculations of Adjusted EBITDA differ from Adjusted EBITDA as finally determined by the Independent Accountant.

  • (c) Timing of Earn-Out Share Conversion and Redemption . Any Earn-Out Amount calculated under Section 2.03(a) shall be satisfied in full by the conversion or redemption of Earn-Out Shares no later than 20 Business Days following the date upon which the determination of Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable Calculation Period

CW17369373.1

  • 23 -

becomes final and binding upon the parties as provided in Section 2.03(b)(ii) (including any final resolution of any dispute raised by Shareholder Representative in an Earn-Out Calculation Objection Notice). Purchaser shall cause the applicable Earn-Out Amount to be settled in accordance with the Earn-Out Share Provisions in either cash (via redemption of Earn-Out Shares), or Purchaser Common Shares (via conversion of EarnOut Shares) (the “ Earn-Out Consideration Shares ”), or a combination of both, in the sole discretion of the board of directors of BevCanna. Any Earn-Out Consideration Shares issued to the holders of Earn-Out Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.03(c) shall be issued at the VWAP of the Earn-Out Consideration Shares in accordance with the Earn-Out Share Provisions.

  • (d) Post-Closing Operation of Amalco . Subject to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent to the Closing, Purchaser and Amalco shall have exclusive discretion with regard to all matters relating to the operation of Amalco; provided that, during the Earn-Out Period Purchaser shall use reasonable commercial efforts to (i) operate Amalco as a standalone division, cause Amalco to maintain its own audited financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and not transfer any material portion of the assets of Amalco to any other Affiliate of Purchaser; (ii) refrain from taking any action, omit to take any action, engage in any transaction or series of related transactions, or enter into an agreement to do the same with the intention of reducing the ability of Amalco to achieve any of the Earn-Out Payments; and (iii) subject to the Employment Agreements, maintain the management team of Amalco to be comprised of the Key Employees.

CW17369373.1

  • 59 -

indemnification hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party will have been materially prejudiced by such failure.

  • (b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 15.07(b), in the event of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to elect to conduct and control the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim, with counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, if the Indemnifying Party: (i) has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the Indemnifying Party will provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party in respect thereof; and (ii) if requested by the Indemnified Party, has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s financial ability to pay any Damages resulting from the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate therein through separate counsel chosen by it and at its sole cost and expense.

  • (c) In connection with any Third Party Claim, from and after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will, and will cause their respective Affiliates and associates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in connection with the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim, including furnishing such records, information and testimony and attending such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. In addition,

CW17369373.1

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the Indemnified Party will have the right to pay, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party will waive all rights against the Indemnifying Party to indemnification under this Article 9 with respect to such Third Party Claim unless the Indemnified Party has sought the consent of the Indemnifying Party to such payment, settlement or compromise and such consent has been unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (B) the Indemnifying Party will have the right to consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into a settlement with respect to any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party if the judgment or settlement (1) involves only the payment of money damages (all of which will be paid in full by the Indemnifying Party concurrently with the effectiveness thereof), (2) will not encumber any of the assets of the Indemnified Party and will not contain any restriction or condition that would apply to or adversely affect the Indemnified Party or the conduct of its business, and (3) includes, as a condition to any settlement or other resolution, a complete and irrevocable release of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and includes no admission of wrong doing.

  • 15.08 Direct Claims Procedure. In the event the Indemnified Party should have a claim for indemnification hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will, as promptly as practicable, deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice that contains: (i) a description and the amount (the “ Claimed Amount ”) of any Damages incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party; (ii) a statement that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article XV and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefore; and (iii) a demand for payment by the Indemnifying Party. Within thirty (30) days following the delivery of such written notice, the Indemnifying Party will deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party will: (A) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case such response will be accompanied by a payment by the Indemnifying Party of the Claimed Amount); (B) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “ Agreed Amount ”) (in which case such response will be accompanied by payment by the Indemnifying Party of the Agreed Amount); or (C) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. If the Indemnifying Party contests the payment of all or part of the Claimed Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute as promptly as practicable. If such dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party will each have the right to commence a proceeding in a court having competent jurisdiction.

  • 15.09 Insurance and Other Recoveries. For purposes of determining the amount of Damages subject to an indemnification claim made pursuant to this Article XV, the amount of such Damages shall be

CW17369373.1

  • 61 -

reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds or other recoveries from third parties (net of any deductible or other reasonable costs or expenses of recovery, including attorney costs and any increases in premiums or retro-premiums) actually received by the applicable Indemnified Party in respect of such Damages. If an indemnification payment is received by any Indemnified Party, and such Indemnified Party later receives insurance proceeds or other third party recoveries described in the previous sentence in respect of the related Damages that were not previously credited against such indemnification payment when made, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party, a sum equal to the lesser of: (i) the actual amount of such insurance proceeds or third party recoveries actually received (net of any deductible or other reasonable costs or expenses of recovery); or (ii) the actual amount of the indemnification payment previously paid to the Indemnified Party by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Damages. Each Indemnified Party shall, in good faith, use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect amounts available under insurance coverages, relating to any Damages for which it is seeking indemnification.

  • 15.10 Fraud and Other Remedies. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and except as hereinafter set forth, the Company, the Vendors and Purchaser acknowledge that in the event that the Closing shall take place, the rights to indemnification under this Article XV are the sole and exclusive remedy through which the Embark Shareholders, the Purchaser, or an Indemnified Party, may make any claim for Damages suffered or incurred in connection with any breach of this Agreement transactions contemplated herein, but excluding any Fraud Claim.

  • 15.11 Requirement to Set-Off.

  • 15.12 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any payment made by a Vendor as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XV will constitute a decrease of the value of consideration payable by the Purchaser and any payment made by the Purchaser as an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article XV will constitute an increase of the value of consideration payable by the Purchaser.

  • (j) It acknowledges that it has not purchased the BevCanna Shares as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) in the United States in respect of the BevCanna Shares which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the BevCanna Shares.

  • (k) The certificates representing the BevCanna Shares issued hereunder, as well as all certificates issued in exchange for or in substitution of the foregoing, until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and regulations, will bear, on the face of such certificate, the following legend:

  • “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF BEVCANNA ENTERPRISES INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE COMPANY; (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS; (C) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS; OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND, IN THE CASE OF CLAUSE (C) OR (D), THE SELLER FURNISHES TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY TO SUCH EFFECT. THE PRESENCE OF THIS LEGEND MAY IMPAIR THE ABILITY OF THE HOLDER HEREOF TO EFFECT “GOOD DELIVERY” OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ON A CANADIAN STOCK EXCHANGE.”

provided, that if the BevCanna Shares were issued at a time when BevCanna qualifies as a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act, and are being sold outside the United States in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S and in compliance with Canadian local laws and regulations, the legend set forth above may be removed by providing an executed declaration to the registrar and transfer agent of BevCanna, in substantially the form set forth as Appendix “C” attached hereto (or in such other forms as BevCanna may prescribe from time to time) and, if requested by BevCanna or the transfer agent, an opinion of counsel of recognized standing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BevCanna and the transfer agent to the effect that such sale is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S; and provided, further, that, if any BevCanna Shares are being sold otherwise than in accordance with Regulation S and other than to BevCanna, the legend may be removed by delivery to the registrar and transfer agent and BevCanna of an opinion of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to BevCanna, that such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws.

  • (l) The certificates representing the BevCanna Shares will also be imprinted with a restrictive legend substantially in the following form pursuant to Canadian securities laws:

“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE LATER OF (I) [ THE CLOSING DATE ] AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY OF CANADA.”

  • (m) It understands and agrees that there may be material tax consequences to the U.S. Embark Securityholder of an acquisition, holding or disposition of any of the BevCanna Shares. BevCanna gives no opinion and makes no representation with respect to the tax consequences to the U.S. Embark Securityholder under United States, state, local or foreign tax law of the undersigned’s acquisition, holding or disposition of such BevCanna Shares. In particular, no determination has been made whether BevCanna will be a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

  • (n) It consents to BevCanna making a notation on its records or giving instructions to any transfer agent of BevCanna in order to implement the restrictions on transfer set forth and described in this certification and the Agreement.

  • (o) It understands and agrees that the financial statements of BevCanna have been or will be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and therefore may be materially different from financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and therefore may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

  • (p) It understands and acknowledges that BevCanna is incorporated outside the United States, consequently, it may be difficult to provide service of process on BevCanna and it may be difficult to enforce any judgment against BevCanna.

  • (q) It understands that BevCanna does not have any obligation to register the BevCanna Shares under the U.S. Securities Act or any applicable state securities or “blue-sky” laws or to take action so as to permit resales of the BevCanna Shares. Accordingly, the U.S. Embark Securityholder understands that absent registration, it may be required to hold the BevCanna Shares indefinitely. As a consequence, the U.S. Embark Securityholder understands it must bear the economic risks of the investment in the BevCanna Shares for an indefinite period of time.

The foregoing representations contained in this certificate are true and accurate as of the date of this certificate and will be true and accurate as of the Effective Time. If any such representations will not be true and accurate prior to the Effective Time, the undersigned will give immediate written notice of such fact to BevCanna prior to the Effective Time.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Please type or print clearly in block letters.

The Province of British Columbia has entered into a partnership with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to use the national Business Number (BN) as a convenient way for corporations to identify themselves when communicating with federal and provincial governments.

The Corporate Registry, under the authority of the Business Number Act , is therefore collecting the BN from both corporations applying for registration in British Columbia and corporations currently registered in British Columbia. This will allow corporations to use their BN as an identifier the next time they communicate with the Corporate Registry.

You will already have a BN if you have been incorporated federally or if you are incorporated in another Canadian jurisdiction.

You may have also received a BN from CRA if you:
