(3) The Parties shall: (a) cooperate with and keep one another fully informed as to the status of and the processes and proceedings relating to obtaining any Regulatory Approvals; (b) promptly notify each other of any communication from any Governmental Entity in respect of any Regulatory Approval; (c) use their commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any request or notice from any Governmental Entity requiring the Parties, or any of them, to supply additional information that is relevant to the review of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in respect of obtaining any Regulatory Approval; (d) not make any submissions or filings or participate in any meetings or any material conversations with any Governmental Entity in respect of any Regulatory Approval unless it consults with the other applicable Party in advance; and (e) to the extent not precluded by such Governmental Entity, give the other applicable Party the opportunity to review drafts of all notifications, filings, applications and submissions, or other written communications, comment upon such draft materials, and give reasonable consideration to all such comments and accept the reasonable comments of the other Parties, and attend and participate in any communications or meetings with any such Governmental Entity. Despite the foregoing, notifications, submissions, applications, filings or other written communications with any Governmental Entity may be redacted as necessary before sharing with the other applicable Party to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns, provided that a Party must provide external legal counsel to the other applicable Party non-redacted versions of drafts and final submissions, filings or other written communications with any Governmental Entity on the basis that the redacted information will not be shared with its clients.

(4) Each Party shall notify the other applicable Party if it becomes aware that any (a) application, filing, document or other submission for a Regulatory Approval contains a Misrepresentation or (b) any Regulatory Approval contains, reflects or was obtained following the submission of any application, filing, document or other submission containing a Misrepresentation, such that an amendment or supplement may be necessary or advisable. In such case, the Company shall, in consultation with and subject to the prior approval of the Purchaser, cooperate in the preparation, filing and dissemination, as applicable, of any such amendment or supplement.

(5) Subject to Section 4.4(1), if any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Law, or if any proceeding is instituted or threatened by any Governmental Entity challenging or which could lead to a challenge of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as not in compliance with Law, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the terms of this Agreement to resolve such objection or proceeding so as to allow the Effective Time to occur on the terms set out herein on or prior to the Outside Date.

(6) If applicable, the Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of any filing or other fees associated with Regulatory Approvals.

Section 4.5 Access to Information; Confidentiality

(1) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, subject to Law, the Company shall give the Purchaser and its representatives: (a) upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours to its and its Subsidiaries' (i) premises, (ii) property and assets (including all books and records, whether retained internally or otherwise), (iii) Contracts (including leases) and Authorizations and (iv) senior management, in each case so long as the access does not unduly interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (b) such financial and

-34-


operating data or other information with respect to the assets or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request. The Company shall continue to afford the Purchaser and its representatives with access to the Data Room. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Company shall, upon the Purchaser's request, use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate discussions among the Company, the Purchaser and any third party from whom consent may be required in connection with the Arrangement, and (b) the Purchaser and its representatives shall, upon reasonable prior notice, have the right to conduct inspections of each of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' properties and material assets so long as the access does not unduly interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(2) Investigations made by or on behalf of the Parent and Purchaser, whether under this Section 4.5 or otherwise, will not waive, diminish the scope of, or otherwise affect any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement.

(3) The Parent and the Purchaser each acknowledge that the Confidentiality Agreement continues to apply and that any information provided pursuant to Section 4.5(1) that is non-public and/or proprietary in nature shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(4) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to provide access to, or to disclose, any information to the Purchaser if the Company reasonably determines in its good faith judgement, after consultation with external legal counsel, that such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client or other privilege claim by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert to be undermined with respect to such information, provided that the Parties shall cooperate in seeking to permit the disclosure of such information to the extent doing so could reasonably (in the good faith belief of the Company after consultation with external legal counsel) be managed through the use of customary "clean-room" arrangements.

Section 4.6 Pre-Acquisition Reorganization

(1) The Company agrees that, upon the reasonable request by the Purchaser, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) effect such reorganizations of the Company's and its Subsidiaries' corporate structure (including the dissolutions of BRN Acquisition Corp., BRN Brands Group, Inc., BRN Redemption Intermediate LLC, Redemption Group LLC, AF1 Merger Subco, LLC and No BS Life, LLC), capital structure, business, operations or assets and such other transactions as the Purchaser may request, acting reasonably (each a "Pre-Acquisition Reorganization"); (b) cooperate with the Purchaser and its advisors in order to determine the nature and manner in which any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization might most effectively be undertaken; and (c) cooperate with the Purchaser and its advisers to seek to obtain any consents, approvals, waivers or similar authorizations, if any, that are required by the Purchaser, acting reasonably, based on the applicable terms of applicable Contracts or Authorizations in connection with the Pre-Acquisition Reorganizations, if any.

(2) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be obligated to undertake or perform any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization under Section 4.6(1) unless such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization:

(a) can be unwound in the event the Arrangement is not consummated without adversely affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or securityholders in any material manner;

-35-


(b) is not prejudicial to the Company or its securityholders or inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;

(c) does not reduce or modify the form of the Consideration provided for under the Arrangement;

(d) does not require the Company to obtain the approval of the Shareholders (other than as properly put forward and approved at the Company Meeting);

(e) does not prevent or impair the ability of the Parties to consummate, and will not materially delay the consummation of, the Arrangement;

(f) does not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to contravene any Laws or any material Authorization;

(g) does not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that would result in any Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax to, any securityholder of the Company incrementally greater than the Taxes to such party in connection with the Arrangement in the absence of any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, unless the Company, any such Subsidiary, or any such securityholder is made whole for such additional Taxes; and

(h) is effected as close to the Effective Time as is reasonably practicable.

(3) The Purchaser must provide written notice to the Company of any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization at least 15 Business Days prior to the Effective Time. Upon receipt of such notice, the Purchaser and the Company shall work cooperatively and use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do all such other acts and things as are reasonably necessary, including, subject to Section 4.6(2), making amendments to this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement (provided that such amendments do not require the Company to obtain approval of the Court or securityholders of the Company (other than as properly put forward and approved at the Company Meeting)), to give effect to such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. If the Arrangement is not completed (other than if the Arrangement is not completed due to a breach by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or in circumstances that would give rise to the payment of the Termination Fee by the Company to the Parent), then the Purchaser (x) shall forthwith reimburse the Company for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements, incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, and (y) will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (to the extent such directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives are assessed with statutory liability therefor) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgements, penalties and Taxes suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of or in relation to any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization (other than those costs and expenses reimbursed in accordance with the foregoing clause (x)), or to reverse or unwind any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization (where such reversal or unwinding is determined by the Company, acting reasonably, to be necessary).

(4) The Purchaser and the Company agree that any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization will not be considered in determining whether a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company undertaking or otherwise involved in such Pre-

-36-


Acquisition Reorganization under this Agreement has been breached (including where any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization requires the consent of any third party under a Contract).

Section 4.7 Tax Matters.

The Company covenants and agrees that, until the Effective Time, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall (a) duly and timely file with the appropriate Governmental Entity all Tax Returns required to be filed by any of them, which shall be correct and complete in all material respects, (b) reasonably consult with the Purchaser with respect to the discretionary deductions to be claimed in respect of any such Tax Return where claiming such discretionary deductions would otherwise give rise to a loss for tax purposes, and (c) pay, withhold, collect and remit to the appropriate Governmental Entity in a timely fashion all amounts required to be so paid, withheld, collected or remitted. The Company shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of any events, discussions, notices or changes with respect to any Tax or regulatory audit or investigation or any other investigation by a Governmental Entity or proceeding involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Ordinary Course communications which could not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis).

Section 4.8 Public Communications

The Company and the Purchaser, each acting reasonably, shall agree on the text of joint press releases by which the Company and the Purchaser will announce: (a) the execution of this Agreement; and (b) the completion of the Arrangement. The Parties shall cooperate in the preparation of presentations, if any, to the Shareholders regarding the Arrangement. Except as required by Law, a Party must not issue any press release or make any other public statement or disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement without the consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that any Party that, in the opinion of its legal counsel, is required to make disclosure by Law shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to give the other Parties prior oral or written notice and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the disclosure. The Party making such disclosure shall give reasonable consideration to any comments made by the other Parties or its counsel, and if such prior notice is not possible, shall give such notice immediately following the making of such disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall prevent a Party from making internal announcements to employees, having discussions with stakeholders or respond to questions from investors or other stakeholders at regularly scheduled investor calls, in each case so long as such announcements and discussions are consistent in all material respects with the most recent press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Parties. The Parties consent to this Agreement being filed on SEDAR+ as soon as practicable after the public announcement of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.9 Notice and Cure Provisions

(1) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be reasonably likely to:

(a) cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time; or

(b) result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party under this Agreement.

-37-


(2) Notification provided under this Section 4.9 will not affect the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of the Parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

(3) The Purchaser may not elect to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(d)(i) and the Company may not elect to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(c)(i), unless the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement (the "Terminating Party") has delivered a written notice ("Termination Notice") to the applicable other Party (the "Breaching Party") specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Terminating Party asserts as the basis for termination. After delivering a Termination Notice, provided the Breaching Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and such matter is capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, the Terminating Party may not exercise such termination right until the earlier of (a) the Outside Date, and (b) the date that is 10 Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice by the Breaching Party, if such matter has not been cured by such date. If the Terminating Party delivers a Termination Notice prior to the date of the Company Meeting or the making of the application for the Final Order, as applicable, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise, the Company shall postpone or adjourn the Company Meeting or delay the making of the application for the Final Order, as applicable, to the earlier of (a) 10 Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (b) the date that is 10 Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice by the Breaching Party.

Section 4.10 Insurance and Indemnification

(2) The Purchaser shall, from and after the Effective Time, honour and cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of present and former employees, officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the extent they are (a) included in the Constating Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (b) disclosed in Section 4.10(2) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and acknowledges that such rights shall survive the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Date.

(3) If the Company or Purchaser or Parent or any of their successors or assigns shall (a) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind-up into any other person and, if applicable, shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity, or (b) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or persons, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors, assigns and transferees of the Company or Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.10.

-38-


(4) This Section 4.10 shall survive the consummation of the Arrangement and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the present and former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives (the "Indemnified Persons") and shall be binding on the Purchaser, the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective successors and assigns, and, for such purpose, the Company hereby confirms that it is acting as agent on behalf of the Indemnified Persons.

Section 4.11 Payoff and Release Letters

The Company shall, unless a waiver or other similar consent has been requested by the Purchaser and subsequently obtained from the lenders under the Credit Facilities, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, and shall obtain on or prior to the Effective Date, a customary payoff letter with respect to the Credit Facilities, providing for the termination of all Liens securing obligations under the Credit Facilities and the termination of the Credit Facilities (the "Credit Facility Termination"), all guarantees thereof and all related documents (other than obligations thereunder which expressly survive termination), upon payment of all obligations owing under the Credit Facilities as of the Effective Date. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall use funds on their balance sheet at Closing to fund all amounts required to effect the Credit Facility Termination, unless the Company requests in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date for any portion or all funds required to effect such repayment to be funded or caused to be funded by the Purchaser, which shall be evidenced by a non-interest bearing promissory note payable by the Company to the Purchaser.

Section 4.12 Delisting

Subject to Laws, the Purchaser and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shares to be de-listed from the TSX-V with effect on or as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Company and the Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other Party in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to enable the de-listing of the Shares from the TSX-V.

Section 4.13 Employee Matters

From and after the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall honour and perform, or cause the Company to honour and perform, all of the obligations of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to Company Employees in connection with the Arrangement (including the payment of the Consideration in respect of any Company Warrants, Company Options and Company RSUs held by such Company Employees in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement); provided that no provision of this Section 4.13 shall give any Company Employee any right to continued employment or impair in any way the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Company Employee.

On or prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall terminate the Toronto Sublease and deliver to the Purchaser a copy of a fully executed termination agreement with respect to the same, in a form satisfactory to the Purchaser, acting reasonably, which termination agreement shall include a full and final release and discharge in favour of the Company granted by VRG Capital Inc. with respect to (i) all obligations and liabilities of the Company, and (ii) all claims and demands which VRG Capital Inc. has or may in the future have against the Company, in each case arising out of or under or by virtue of the Toronto Sublease or otherwise relating to the premises leased pursuant to the Toronto Sublease.

(a) solicit, assist, initiate, knowingly encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing or providing copies of, access to, or disclosure of, any confidential information, properties, facilities, books or records of the Company or any Subsidiary) any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;

-40-


(b) within two Business Days of the date of this Agreement, request, and exercise all rights it has to require (i) the return or destruction of all copies of any confidential information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary provided to any Person (other than the Purchaser and the Parent and their representatives) and (ii) the destruction of all material including or incorporating or otherwise reflecting such confidential information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary, using its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such requests are fully complied with in accordance with the terms of such rights or entitlements.

Section 5.2 Notification of Acquisition Proposals

If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives receives or otherwise becomes aware of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any request for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, confidential information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser, at first orally, and then within 48 hours, in writing, of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including a description of its material terms and conditions and the identity of all Persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, and shall provide the Purchaser with copies of all documents, material correspondence or other material received in respect of, from or on behalf of any such Person and such other information regarding any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request as the Purchaser may reasonably request. The Company shall keep the Purchaser fully informed on a current basis of the status of developments and (to the extent permitted by Section 5.3) negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including any changes, modifications or other amendments to any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and shall provide to the Purchaser copies of all material or substantive correspondence if in writing or electronic form, and if not in writing or electronic form, a description of the material terms of such correspondence, sent or communicated by or to the Company in respect of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request.

Section 5.3 Responding to an Acquisition Proposal

Notwithstanding Section 5.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time prior to obtaining the approval of the Shareholders of the Arrangement Resolution, the Company receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal, the Company may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal and may provide copies of, access

-41-


to or disclosure of information, properties, facilities, books or records of the Company or its Subsidiaries to such Person, if and only if:

(a) the Board first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal and has provided the Purchaser with written confirmation thereof;

(b) such Person was not restricted from making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar restriction with the Company or its Subsidiaries;

(c) the Company has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under this Article 5;

(d) the Company enters into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with such Person that contains terms and conditions that are no less favourable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, provided that the standstill obligations therein are individually no less restrictive in any respect to the counterparty and its affiliates than the standstill obligations in the Confidential Agreement are to the Purchaser and its affiliates, further provided that such confidentiality and standstill agreement may allow such Person to make an Acquisition Proposal confidentially to the Board that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, a Superior Proposal; and

(e) prior to providing any such copies, access or disclosure, the Company promptly provides the Purchaser with:

(i) prior written notice stating the Company's intention to participate in such discussions or negotiations and to provide such copies, access or disclosure;

(ii) prior to providing such copies, access or disclosure, a true, complete and final executed copy of the confidentiality and standstill agreement referred to in Section 5.3(d); and

(iii) any non-public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries provided to such other Person which was not previously provided to the Purchaser.

Section 5.4 Right to Match

(1) If the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Shareholders, the Board may make a Change in Recommendation and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(a) the Person making the Superior Proposal was not restricted from making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an existing confidentiality, standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar restriction;

(b) the Company has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under this Article 5;

-42-


(c) the Company has delivered to the Purchaser a written notice of the determination of the Board that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Board to make a Change in Recommendation and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, together with a written notice from the Board regarding the value and financial terms that the Board, in consultation with its financial advisors, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Acquisition Proposal (the "Superior Proposal Notice");

(d) the Company or its Representatives have provided to the Purchaser a copy of the proposed definitive agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal (including any financing commitments or other documents in possession of the Company and its Representatives containing material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal);

(e) at least five Business Days (the "Matching Period") have elapsed from the date that is the later of the date on which the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which the Purchaser received a copy of the proposed definitive agreement with respect to the Superior Proposal (including any financing commitments or other documents in possession of the Company and its Representatives containing material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal) from the Company;

(f) during any Matching Period, the Purchaser has had the opportunity (but not the obligation), in accordance with Section 5.4(2), to offer to amend this Agreement and the Arrangement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal;

(g) after the Matching Period, the Board has determined in good faith (i) after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (and, if applicable, compared to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the Purchaser under Section 5.4(2)) and (ii) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure by the Board to recommend that the Company enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company; and

(h) prior to or concurrently with entering into such definitive agreement the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(c)(ii) [Superior Proposal] and pays the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.2(3).

(2) During the Matching Period, or such longer period as the Company may approve in writing for such purpose: (a) the Board shall review in good faith any offer made by the Purchaser under Section 5.4(1)(f) to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and (b) the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with the Purchaser to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the Purchaser to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms. If the Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall promptly so advise the Purchaser and the Parties shall amend this Agreement to reflect such offer made by the Purchaser, and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

-43-


(3) Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.4, and the Purchaser shall be afforded a new five Business Day Matching Period from the later of the date on which the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the new Superior Proposal from the Company.

(4) The Board shall promptly reaffirm the Board Recommendation by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement as contemplated under Section 5.4(2) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Company shall provide the Purchaser and its legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as required by the Purchaser and its counsel.

(5) If the Company provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the Purchaser on a date that is less than 10 Business Days before the Company Meeting, the Company shall either proceed with or shall postpone or adjourn the Company Meeting, as directed by the Purchaser acting reasonably, to a date that is not more than 15 Business Days after the scheduled date of the Company Meeting, but in any event the Company Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned to a date which would prevent the Effective Date from occurring on or prior to the Outside Date.

(6) Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall limit in any way the obligation of the Company to convene and hold the Company Meeting in accordance with Section 2.3 of this Agreement while this Agreement remains in force.

(7) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall: (a) prevent the Board from complying with Section 2.17 of National Instrument 62-104 – Takeover Bids and Issuer Bids and similar provisions under Securities Laws relating to the provision of a directors’ circular in respect of an Acquisition Proposal that is not a Superior Proposal; or (b) prohibit the Company or the Board from calling and/or holding a meeting requisitioned by the Shareholders in accordance with the BCBCA (provided the Board shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to call and hold any such meeting after the Company Meeting unless ordered otherwise by any Governmental Entity).

(8) Without limiting the generality of this Article 5, the Company shall advise its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives of the prohibitions set out in this Article 5 and any violation of the restrictions set out in this Article 5 by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Article 5 by the Company.

(2) Despite any other provision in this Agreement relating to the payment of fees and expenses, including the payment of brokerage fees, if a Termination Fee Event occurs, the Company shall pay the Parent the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.2(3). For the purposes of this Agreement, "Termination Fee" means US$5,000,000 and "Termination Fee Event" means the termination of this Agreement:

(a) by the Purchaser, pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(d)(ii) [Change in Recommendation or Breach of Non-Solicit];

(i) prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is made or publicly announced or otherwise publicly disclosed by any Person (other than the Purchaser, the Parent or any of their affiliates) or any Person (other than the Purchaser, the Parent or any of their affiliates) shall have publicly stated an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal; and

-50-


(ii) within 365 days following the date of such termination (A) an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (i) above) is consummated, or (B) the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in one or more transactions, enters into a Contract in respect of an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (i) above), and such Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated or effected (whether or not such Acquisition Proposal is later consummated within 365 days after such termination).

For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Acquisition Proposal" shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.1, except that references to "20% or more" shall be deemed to be references to "50% or more".

(3) The Termination Fee shall be paid by the Company to the Parent as follows, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Parent:

(a) if a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement described in Section 8.2(2)(a) or Section 8.2(2)(b), within two Business Days of the occurrence of such Termination Fee Event;

(b) if a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement described in Section 8.2(2)(c), concurrently with the occurrence of such Termination Fee Event; and

(c) if a Termination Fee Event occurs in the circumstances described in Section 8.2(2)(d), on or prior to the consummation or effectiveness of an Acquisition Proposal.

(5) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements the Parent and the Purchaser would not enter into this Agreement, and that the amounts set out in this Section 8.2 represent liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, including opportunity costs, which the Parent and the Purchaser will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and resultant termination of this Agreement, and are not penalties. The Company irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive.

(6) Subject to Section 7.3 and Section 8.5, the Parent and the Purchaser each hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Parent is entitled to the Termination Fee and such Termination Fee is paid in full within the prescribed time period, such Termination Fee is the sole monetary remedy of the Parent and the Purchaser against the Company and the Parent and the Purchaser shall be

-51-


precluded from any other remedy against the Company and shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment or damages of any kind against the Company in connection with this Agreement.

(7) The Company confirms that other than the fees disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder or investment banker is or will be entitled to any brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.4 Time of the Essence

Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Injunctive Relief

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement, without any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at law or in equity.

Section 8.6 Third Party Beneficiaries

(1) Except as provided in Section 4.10 and Section 2.12(2) which, without limiting their terms, are intended as stipulations for the benefit of the third Persons mentioned in such provisions (such third Persons referred to in this Section 8.6 as the "Third Party Beneficiaries"), and except for the rights of the Affected Securityholders to receive the applicable consideration following the Effective Time pursuant to the Arrangement (for which purpose the Company hereby confirms that it is acting as agent on behalf of the Affected Securityholders), the Parties intend that this Agreement will not benefit or create any right or cause of action in favour of any

-53-


Person, other than the Parties and that no Person, other than the Parties, shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum.

(2) Despite the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge to each of the Third Party Beneficiaries their direct rights against the applicable Party under Section 4.10, which are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Third Party Beneficiary, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives, and for such purpose, the Company confirms that it is acting as agent on their behalf, and agrees to enforce such provisions on their behalf.

Section 8.7 Waiver

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party's failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right.

Section 8.8 Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the Company Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, collateral, statutory or otherwise, between the Parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Parties have not relied and are not relying on any other information, discussion or understanding in entering into and completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.9 Successors and Assigns

(1) This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by the Company, the Purchaser and the Parent. After that time, it will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Company, the Purchaser and the Parent and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(2) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees that the Parent or the Purchaser may assign all or any part of its rights under this Agreement to, and its obligations under this Agreement may be assumed by, any of its affiliates, provided that it shall continue to be liable jointly and severally with such affiliate for all of its obligations hereunder.

Section 8.10 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

-54-


Section 8.11 Governing Law

(1) This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein.

(2) Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the British Columbia courts situated in the City of Vancouver and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or that such court provides an inconvenient forum.
