PURCHASER RIGHTS
Governance Rights
-
- On the date of this Subscription Agreement, the Board consists of four directors. From and after the Closing Date and so long as the Purchaser Group continues to hold at least the Target Number of Shares, the Purchaser shall be entitled to designate one individual for election or appointment to the Board from time to time in accordance with this Appendix (such individual, the "Purchaser Nominee").
-
- On the first date on which the Purchaser designates a Purchaser Nominee as contemplated under paragraph 1 (the "Initial Designation Date"), the Issuer shall (a) either increase the size of the Board by one director or procure the resignation of one director, and (b) appoint to the Board the initial Purchaser Nominee. The Issuer shall designate the initial Purchaser Nominee as its nominee for election as a director at the first meeting of the shareholders of the Issuer following the Initial Designation Date and the Issuer shall cause the initial Purchaser Nominee to be nominated as the Purchaser Nominee in accordance with this Appendix.
-
- From and after the first meeting of shareholders of the Issuer following the Initial Designation Date, and for so long as the Purchaser Group continues to hold at least the Target Number of Shares: (a) the Issuer will notify the Purchaser at least 60 days before the scheduled mailing of any management information circular of the Issuer in which nominees for election as directors will be named, and (b) the Purchaser shall deliver a written notice to the Board designating a Purchaser Nominee within 15 days of receipt of the foregoing notice. If either the Issuer or the Purchaser does not provide such notice within such time, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have designated its incumbent Purchaser Nominee for nomination for election at the relevant meeting of shareholders.
-
- So long as the Purchaser Group continues to hold at least the Target Number of Shares, the Issuer covenants and agrees to nominate for election the Purchaser Nominee as a director of the Issuer at any meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected.
-
- The Issuer shall (i) include the Purchaser Nominee in the notice of meeting, the management information circular, proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the applicable shareholder meeting as nominees of management, and (ii) solicit proxies from shareholders of the Issuer in favour of the election of the Purchaser Nominee in a manner no less favourable than the manner in which the Issuer supports other nominees for election at any such meeting.
-
- Notwithstanding anything in this Appendix to the contrary, a failure by the Purchaser to designate the Purchaser Nominee that it is entitled to designate pursuant to this Appendix, at any time shall not restrict the ability of the Purchaser to designate the Purchaser Nominee at any time in the future.
-
- In the event that the Purchaser Nominee ceases to serve as a director of the Issuer for any reason, including the death, disability, resignation, removal or failure of the Purchaser Nominee to be elected at a meeting of shareholders, the Issuer shall cause the Board to appoint as soon as practicable a replacement Purchaser Nominee in accordance with this Appendix to fill the vacancy caused thereby, including any such death, disability, resignation, removal or failure to be elected. If the Issuer is prevented by the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Act") from filling a vacancy with the Purchaser Nominee in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the Board shall, to the maximum extent permitted by the Act, promptly resolve to increase the size of the Board until the next meeting of shareholders and appoint such replacement Purchaser Nominee to the Board.
-
- For so long as the Purchaser Group continues to hold at least the Target Number of Shares, the Purchaser Nominee shall, upon the Purchaser's request, be appointed to each committee established by the Board, including, for certainty, any ad hoc committee, special committee,
strategic advisory committee or other similarly constituted committee of the Board formed for the purposes of, among other things, reviewing, considering or evaluating regulatory issues, strategic initiatives or material transactions involving the Issuer and/or its Subsidiaries, provided that the Purchaser Nominee satisfies the eligibility criteria for such committees under Law. The Purchaser Nominee shall have the right to attend, in an observer capacity, any meeting of any such committee on which the Purchaser Nominee is not a member, subject to the exclusions above.
-
- The Issuer shall obtain and maintain in force a directors' and officers' insurance policy, with coverage and on terms acceptable to the Board. The Issuer will enter into customary indemnification agreements with any director nominated pursuant to this Appendix on terms no less favourable than those entered into with the other directors of the Issuer.
-
- The Purchaser Nominee shall be entitled to disclose to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates any information concerning the Issuer and its business, affairs and assets that the Purchaser Nominee receives as a director of the Issuer nominated in accordance with this Appendix (including, for certainty, the information set out in paragraph 13), provided that (i) the disclosure of such information by the Issuer is not prohibited by confidentiality obligations pursuant to written agreements between the Issuer and a third party; (ii) such information will be made available (or not made available) on the same basis as permitted to be made available (or not made available) to a Board Observer pursuant to paragraphs 13 and 14; (iii) the Board has not determined, in its reasonable good faith judgment and on the advice of external legal counsel, that the disclosure of such information would prevent the waiver of solicitor-client or work product privilege between the Issuer and its external counsel, or would constitute a disclosable interest within the meaning of Section 147 of the Act; and (iv) the Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, shall have agreed to enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms satisfactory to the Issuer, acting reasonably, before the Purchaser Nominee discloses any information pursuant to this section.

- (c) "Purchaser Group" means the Purchaser and its Affiliates.
- (d) "Target Number of Shares" means a minimum of Shares, subject to adjustment for any share dividend, share consolidation, share split, share reclassification, reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement or merger involving the Issuer or any other event that affects all Shares in an identical manner.

-
- The Board Observer shall be entitled to (i) receive notice of and to attend meetings of the Board (ii) take part in discussions and deliberations of matters brought before the Board, (iii) receive all notices, consents, minutes, documents and other information and materials that are sent, or made available to, to members of the Board, including via e-mail or by way of access to any Board portal, virtual data room or similar technological platform, and (iv) receive copies of any written resolutions proposed to be adopted by the Board, including any resolution as approved, each at substantially the same time and in substantially the same manner as the members of the Board, except that the Board Observer will not be entitled to vote on any matters brought before the Board. The right of
the Purchaser Group to appoint the Board Observer shall extend to each committee established by the Board, including any ad hoc committee, special committee, strategic advisory committee or other similarly constituted committee of the Board.
-
- The Issuer may withhold information or materials from the Board Observer or exclude the Board Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if (A) the Board determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment and on the advice of external legal counsel, that such withholding or exclusion is necessary to prevent the waiver of solicitor-client or work product privilege between the Issuer and its external counsel, or would constitute a disclosable interest within the meaning of Section 147 of the Act; or (B) the Board Observer has not agreed to enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms satisfactory to the Issuer, acting reasonably. The Board shall notify the Board Observer in writing as soon as practicable in advance of any such withholding or exclusion, which notice will include (x) a reasonable description of the withholding or exclusion and the reasons therefor, and (y) a reasonable description of the withheld information or material or the meetings from which the Board Observer was excluded, as the case may be, in a manner that would preserve solicitor-client and/or work product privilege.
-
- The Board Observer will not be entitled to any compensation from the Issuer.
-
- The Board Observer shall be entitled to disclose to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates any information concerning the Issuer and its business, affairs and assets that the Board Observer receives as an observer to the Board of the Issuer, provided that (i) the disclosure of such information by the Issuer is not prohibited by confidentiality obligations pursuant to written agreements between the Issuer and a third party; (ii) such information will be made available (or not made available) on the same basis as permitted to be made available (or not made available) to the Board Observer pursuant to paragraphs 13 and 14; and (iii) the Purchaser, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, shall have agreed to enter into a confidentiality agreement on terms satisfactory to the Issuer, acting reasonably, before the Board Observer discloses any information pursuant to this section.

Right of First Refusal
-
- For so long as the Purchaser Group continues to hold at least the Minimum Number of Shares, and if during the ROFR Term, an offer (whether legally binding or not) is made by any Competitor (a "Relevant Offeror") proposing the disposal by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries of all or substantially all of its or their undertaking and assets (a "Sale" and such undertaking and assets, the "Sale Assets", and such proposal the "Proposed Offer"), the Issuer shall notify the Purchaser in writing of the Proposed Offer within two Business Days of receipt of the Proposed Offer (the "Transaction Notice") specifying the principal terms of the Proposed Offer and including:
- (a) the identity of the Relevant Offeror and its Affiliates;
-
(b) the valuation and/or consideration to be paid by the Relevant Offeror as part of the Proposed Offer;
-
(c) the form of consideration proposed including whether there is any escrow or holdback and, if so, the range of duration and amounts; and

- The Transaction Notice shall, and the Issuer shall procure that the Transaction Notice shall, constitute an offer by the Issuer to sell the Sale Assets to the Purchaser on the terms and conditions set out in the Transaction Notice and/or the supporting documentation provided thereto.
-
- For so long as the Purchaser Group continues to hold at least the Minimum Number of Shares, the Purchaser shall have ten Business Days following receipt of the later of (i) the Transaction Notice; or (ii) the date on which any outstanding information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph 18 is delivered to the Purchaser where such information is not sufficiently detailed in the Transaction Notice (the "Offer Date") to accept such offer by notifying the Issuer and, if the Purchaser does so, the Issuer shall enter into an agreement, term sheet or letter of intent (as appropriate) pursuant to which the Issuer will agree to sell the Sale Assets to the Purchaser on the terms equivalent to those contained in the Transaction Notice and/or the supporting documentation provided thereto as soon as reasonably practicable, taking into consideration at all times all necessary steps and requirements in order for the Issuer to put the Purchaser's offer to its shareholders and facilitate the acceptance of that offer by its shareholders in accordance with all applicable Laws including Application Legislation. In connection with any such sale, the Issuer will procure the release and discharge of any encumbrances on the Sale Assets, including by directing that a portion of the sale proceeds be paid directly to the applicable secured parties.
-
- If the Purchaser rejects the offer or fails to provide a response to the Issuer within ten Business Days following the Offer Date, it shall lapse, in which case the Issuer shall be permitted during the following 60 Business Days or, provided that the Issuer has put the Relevant Offeror's offer to its shareholders prior to the expiration of such 60 Business Days and for so long as the Issuer is diligently pursuing the acceptance of that offer by its shareholders in accordance with all applicable Laws, including Applicable Legislation, and such offer is capable of being accepted, such longer period (the expiration of such period, the "Longstop Date") to complete the Proposed Offer with the Relevant Offeree named in the Transaction Notice on terms not materially different to those specified in the Transaction Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Proposed Offer with the Relevant Offeree named in the Transaction Notice is not completed within the Longstop Date or if the terms for the Proposed Offer with the Relevant Offeror are subsequently determined to be materially different to those specified in the Transaction Notice, the Purchaser's right of first refusal as outlined in this Appendix shall be deemed to apply mutatis mutandis to any other Sale including, without limitation, any Sale with the Relevant Offeror and its affiliates.
