Regulation §1.368-2(b)(ii) and §1.368-2(b)(ii), Examples 12 and 13) for federal income tax purposes. The Arrangement Agreement shall constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for purposes of Sections 354, 356 and 361 of the Code (and any comparable provision of U.S. state law) for federal and applicable state income tax purposes. SPUD and Rainy Hollow shall prepare and file with each of their respective tax returns all information required by U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3 and related provisions of the U.S. Treasury Regulations in a manner consistent with treating the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement as a reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code and shall take no position (whether in audits, tax returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such treatment unless required to do so by applicable law.

ARTICLE 4 RIGHTS OF DISSENT

4.1 Rights of Dissent.

Registered SPUD Shareholders may exercise dissent rights (“ Dissent Rights ”) in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Final Order and this Section 4.1; provided that the written notice of dissent setting forth the objection of such registered SPUD Shareholders to the SPUD Arrangement Resolution must be received by SPUD not later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the day that is two Business Days immediately preceding the date of the SPUD Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time). Each such Dissenting Holder who duly exercises his, her or its Dissent Rights shall be deemed to have transferred the SPUD Shares held by such Dissenting Holder, and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised, to Rainy Hollow free and clear of all Liens, as provided in Section 3.3(a) and if such Dissenting Holder is:

  • (a) ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for such SPUD Shares by SPUD (which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in section 245 of the BCBCA, shall be determined as of the close of business on the day before the

-12-

Effective Date), shall be deemed to have irrevocably transferred such Dissenting Shares to Rainy Hollow on the Effective Date pursuant to Section 3.3(a) in exchange for the right to be paid fair value for such Dissenting Shares, and SPUD shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therefore determined to be the fair value of such Dissenting Shares; or

  • (b) ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for such Dissenting Shares by SPUD, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a registered holder of SPUD Shares that has not exercised Dissent Rights.

4.2 Recognition of Dissenting Holders.

  • (a) In no circumstances shall Rainy Hollow, SPUD or any other Person be required to recognize:

  • (i) a Person exercising Dissent Rights, unless such Person is the registered holder of those SPUD Shares in respect of which such rights are sought to be exercised or was the registered holder of such SPUD Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time; or

  • (ii) a Person purporting to exercise Dissent Rights after the completion of the step contemplated by Section 3.3(a), and each such Person who has exercised Dissent Rights will cease to be entitled to the rights of the registered holders of SPUD Shares, respectively, in respect of the shares in relation to which such Person has exercised such Dissent Rights, and the register for the SPUD Shares will be amended to reflect that such former holder is no longer the holder of such shares as and from the completion of the step set forth in Section 3.3(a).

  • (b) In addition to any other restrictions under the Interim Order and Sections 237 to 247 of the BCBCA, SPUD Shareholders who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote their SPUD Shares in favour of the SPUD Arrangement Resolution (but only in respect of such SPUD Shares) shall not be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.

ARTICLE 5 CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENTS

5.1 Payment of Consideration Shares.

  • (a) Following receipt of the Final Order and prior to the Effective Time and following delivery by SPUD to Rainy Hollow of a certified copy of the SPUD Share register with the complete name and address of each SPUD Shareholder and the equivalent for any other SPUD securities as may be required, Rainy Hollow shall deliver or cause to be delivered to SPUD, evidence of an executed treasury direction addressed to its registrar and transfer agent to issue at the Effective Time certificates

-13-

or direct registration statements representing the Consideration Shares (other than for dissenting SPUD Shareholders).

  • (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, Rainy Hollow will deliver or cause to be delivered to each former SPUD Shareholder, the certificate(s) or direct registration statement representing the number of Consideration Shares to which such former SPUD Shareholder is entitled pursuant to the Arrangement.

  • (c) Upon surrender to Rainy Hollow for cancellation of a certificate, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding SPUD Shares, transferred pursuant to Section 3.3(b) and such additional documents and instruments as Rainy Hollow may reasonably require, the holder of SPUD Shares represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Rainy Hollow shall deliver to such holder, a certificate or direct registration statement representing that number of Consideration Shares which such holder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such SPUD Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole number in accordance with Section 5.3, and less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.4.

  • (d) Rainy Hollow will be entitled to rely on the books and records of SPUD and, in particular, its securities register, in preparing and mailing the share certificates or direct registration statements for the Consideration Shares to which SPUD Shareholders are entitled pursuant to the Arrangement. For greater certainty, the certificates or direct registration statements representing Consideration Shares forwarded to former SPUD Shareholders will be registered in such name or names and delivered to such address or addresses as it appears on the securities register of SPUD.

  • (e) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 5.1, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented SPUD Shares shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a certificate representing the number of Consideration Shares under the Arrangement in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in this Section 5.1 rounded down to the nearest whole number in accordance with Section 5.3, and less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.4. Any such certificate formerly representing SPUD 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 holder of SPUD Shares of any kind or nature against or in SPUD or Rainy Hollow. On such date, all Consideration Shares to which such former holder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Rainy Hollow.

5.2 Dividends and other Distributions.

No dividends or other distributions declared or made on or after the Effective Date with respect to the Consideration Shares with a record date on or after the Effective Date shall be paid to the holder of any certificates formerly representing outstanding SPUD Shares which are not surrendered pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement unless and until the certificate representing such

-14-

SPUD Shares, and such additional documents and instruments as Rainy Hollow may reasonably require, are surrendered and delivered in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement. Subject to applicable law and to Section 5.4, at the time of such surrender and delivery of any such certificate, together with such additional documents and instruments as Rainy Hollow may reasonably require (or, in the case of clause (b) below, at the appropriate payment date), there shall be paid to the holder of the Consideration Shares resulting from such exchange, in all cases without interest, (a) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Date theretofore paid with respect to such Consideration Shares, and (b) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Date but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such Consideration Shares.

5.3 No Fractional Shares

In no event shall any holder of SPUD Shares be entitled to a fractional Consideration Share. Where the aggregate number of Consideration Shares to be issued to a person under or as a result of the Arrangement would result in a fraction of a Consideration Share being issuable, the number of Consideration Shares to be received by such securityholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Consideration Share and no person will be entitled to any compensation in respect of a fractional Consideration Share.

5.4 Withholding Rights.

Rainy Hollow and SPUD shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Plan of Arrangement (including, without limitation, any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.1), such amounts as Rainy Hollow or SPUD determines, acting reasonably, are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under the Tax Act, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of any other Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made, provided that such amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a Person exceeds the consideration otherwise payable to the Person, SPUD and Rainy Hollow are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of any property or amount otherwise payable to such Person to the extent necessary to provide sufficient funds to SPUD or Rainy Hollow, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and SPUD or Rainy Hollow shall remit to such Person any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale. Any such Person subject to withholding may request reasonable evidence of payment to the appropriate taxing authority.

5.5 No Liens.

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

5.6 U.S. Securities Laws Exemptions.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, SPUD and Rainy Hollow each agree that this Plan of Arrangement will be carried out with the intention that all Post-Consolidation Rainy

-15-

Hollow Shares, Rainy Hollow Replacement Options and Rainy Hollow Replacement Warrants issued in exchange for SPUD Shares, SPUD Options and SPUD Warrants, respectively, will be issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof, and similar exemptions under state securities laws.

5.7 Paramountcy.

From and after the Effective Time: (a) this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all SPUD Securities issued prior to the Effective Time, (b) the rights and obligations of the SPUD Securityholders and any transfer agent therefor in relation thereto, shall be solely as provided for in this Plan of Arrangement, and (c) all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to any SPUD Securities shall be deemed to have been settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth in this Plan of Arrangement.

-16-

effect to the implementation of this Plan of Arrangement and is not materially adverse to the economic interest of any Persons voting at the SPUD Meeting.
