Hathor acknowledges that, pursuant to the terms of the share option plans governing the Terra Options and the terms of the certificates representing the Terra Warrants, upon completion of the Arrangement holders of Terra Options and Terra Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of a Terra Option or Terra Warrant, 0.20 of a Hathor Share in substitute for one Terra Share, subject to any restrictions, limitations or subsequent adjustments that apply pursuant to such share option plans or certificates representing the Terra Warrants. For the purposes of this Agreement, all references to Hathor Options and Hathor Warrants herein will be deemed, for any period after the Effective Time, to include the Terra Options and Terra Warrants. Hathor also acknowledges that Terra will seek prior to the closing of the Arrangement the approval of the TSXV to amend the terms of the Terra Options held by Terra Optionholders who will not be directors, officers or employees of Hathor after the Effective Date, such that those Terra Options will expire on that date which is the earlier of the original expiry date of the Terra Options and two years from the Effective Date.

2.8 Tax Election

A Terra Shareholder whose Terra Shares are exchanged for Hathor Shares pursuant to the Arrangement and who is either (a) a Canadian resident or (b) a non-resident of Canada who holds their Terra Shares as taxable Canadian property and not as treaty-protected property within the meaning of the Tax Act may make a joint income tax election with Hathor, pursuant to section 85 of the Tax Act (and any analogous provision of provincial income tax law) (a “ Section 85 Election ”) with respect to the exchange by providing two signed copies of the necessary joint election forms to an appointed representative as directed by Hathor, within 90 days after the Effective Date, duly completed with the details of the number of Terra Shares transferred and the applicable agreed amounts for the purposes of such joint elections.

Neither Terra, Hathor nor any successor corporation will be responsible for the proper completion of any joint election form nor, except for the obligation to sign and return duly completed joint election forms which are received within 90 days of the Effective Date, for any taxes, interest or penalties resulting from the failure of a Terra Shareholder to properly complete or file such joint election forms in the form and manner and within the time prescribed by the Tax Act (or any applicable provincial legislation) and Hathor makes no

  • (a) Notwithstanding Section 4.5, Terra covenants that it will not accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement in respect of a Competing Proposal on the basis that it would constitute a Superior Proposal, unless it has complied with its obligations under Section 4.5 and the other provisions of this Article 4 and a period (the “ Match Period ”) of three (3) Business Days has elapsed from the date that is the later of: (i) the date on which Hathor receives written notice from the Terra Board that the Terra Board has determined that the Competing Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and to, subject to Hathor’s rights under Section 4.6(b), accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Competing Proposal; and (ii) the date Hathor receives a copy of the proposal regarding the Competing Proposal.

  • (b) During the Match Period, Hathor will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, including an increase in, or modification of, the aggregate number of Hathor Shares to be issued to the Terra Shareholders or on the exercise of Terra Options or Terra Warrants. The Terra Board will review any such offer by Hathor to amend this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement within three (3) Business Days of receipt of same, in order to determine in good faith whether the Competing Proposal to which Hathor is responding would continue to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Arrangement as it is proposed in writing by Hathor to be amended. If the Terra Board determines that the Competing Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal, Terra will enter into an amendment to this Agreement with Hathor incorporating the amendments to the Agreement and Plan of Arrangement as set out in the written offer to amend, and will, within two (2) Business Days of entering into such amendment, reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement and issue a press release to that effect. If the Terra Board determines in good faith that the Competing Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal, the Terra Board may approve and recommend that Terra Securityholders accept such Superior Proposal and may make a Change in Terra Recommendation or terminate

4.7 Terra Termination Fee

  • (a) Terra shall pay to Hathor, within two (2) Business Days of the termination of this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to $625,000 (the “ Terra Termination Fee ”) in immediately available funds, if this Agreement is terminated by (i) Hathor pursuant to Sections 6.1(c) or 6.1(d)(iv), or (ii) Terra pursuant to 6.1(e)(iv). In addition, Terra shall pay to Hathor the Terra Termination Fee if a Competing Proposal shall have been made to Terra or shall have been made directly to Terra Shareholders generally or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention to make a Competing Proposal in respect of Terra, and thereafter this Agreement is terminated and such Competing Proposal or another transaction involving Terra and the party making such Competing Proposal is completed within 12 months of the termination of this Agreement, in which case the Terra Termination Fee shall be paid within two (2) Business Days of completion of such transaction. Terra shall not be obligated to make more than one payment pursuant to this Section 4.7(a).

  • (b) Terra acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 4.7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and that, without those agreements, Hathor would not enter into this Agreement. Terra acknowledges that the payment amount set out in this Section 4.7 are payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, which Hathor will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. Terra irrevocably waives any right they may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, Hathor agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where Hathor is entitled to payment of a Terra Termination Fee and such Terra Termination Fee is paid in full, Hathor will be precluded from any other remedy against it at law or in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, an order for specific performance), and will not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against Terra or any of its directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.2 Illegality of Delivery of Hathor Shares

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it appears to Hathor that it would be contrary to applicable law to issue Hathor Shares pursuant to the Arrangement to a person that is not a resident of Canada, the Hathor Shares that otherwise would be issued or transferred, as the case may be, to that person will be issued or transferred, as the case may be, and delivered to the Depositary for sale or exercise (as applicable) by the Depositary on behalf of that person. The Hathor Shares delivered to the Depositary will be pooled and sold or exercised as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, on such dates and at such prices as the Depositary determines in its sole discretion. The Depositary will not be obligated to seek or obtain a minimum price for any of the Hathor Shares sold or exercised by it. Each such person will receive a pro rata share of the cash proceeds from the sale or exercise of the Hathor Shares sold or exercised by the Depositary (less commissions, other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the sale or exercise and any amount withheld in respect of Canadian taxes) in lieu of the Hathor Shares. The net proceeds will be remitted in the same manner as set forth in this Article 5. None of Terra, Hathor or the Depositary will be liable for any loss arising out of any such sales or exercise.

5.3 Withholding Rights

Terra, Hathor and the Depositary will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable or otherwise payable to any Terra Shareholder such amounts as Terra, Hathor or the Depositary is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the Code or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law or treaty, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Terra Shareholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. The Depositary is authorized, as agent for the Terra Shareholders, to sell such portion of the Hathor Shares otherwise deliverable to applicable Terra Shareholders as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Hathor, Terra or the Depositary, as the case may be to enable them to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement, and Hathor, Terra or the Depositary will notify the applicable Terra Shareholder and remit any unapplied consideration including any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

5.4 Lost Certificates

If any certificate which prior to the Effective Date represented outstanding Terra Shares which were exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1 has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, certificates representing Hathor Shares deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with Section 3.1. When seeking such certificate in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom certificates representing Hathor Share are to be issued will, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to Hathor and its transfer agent, in such sum as Hathor may direct or otherwise indemnify Hathor and its transfer agent in a manner satisfactory to Hathor and its transfer agent against any claim that may be made against Hathor or its transfer agent with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
