ARTICLE 2
DISSENT RIGHTS AND PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
 
2.1  
Dissent Rights.
 
Holders of EmergeIT Shares may exercise rights of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) from the Amalgamation Resolution pursuant to and in the manner set forth under the Act, provided the written objection to the Amalgamation Resolution must be sent to EmergeIT by holders who wish to dissent and received by EmergeIT prior to the EmergeIT Meeting or any date to which the Meeting may be postponed or adjourned.
 
A summary of such Dissent Rights is set forth in Schedule “D”.  Shareholders wishing to exercise such rights should obtain their own legal, financial and professional advice with respect to such decision.
 
2.2  
Consequences of Exercise of Dissent Rights
 
Holders who exercise such rights of dissent and who are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their EmergeIT Shares, which fair value shall be the fair value of such shares as at the close of business on the day prior to the EmergeIT Shareholders Meeting and who are paid an amount equal to such fair value by or on behalf of Amalco shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Corporation other than such rights as dissenting shareholders or former shareholders as are set forth under the Act.
 
Holders who exercise such rights of dissent and who are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their EmergeIT Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the amalgamation, as of the Effective Time, on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of EmergeIT Shares and shall be entitled to receive only the consideration contemplated in subsection 1.2(s) hereof that such holder would have received pursuant to the amalgamation if such holder had not exercised Dissent Rights.
 
2.3  
Requirement for Strict Compliance and Independent Advice
 
Nothing in this Agreement affects or reduces in any way the requirement of any holder of EmergeIT Shares who wishes to exercise Dissent Rights from strictly complying with the provisions of the Act and holders of EmergeIT Shares wishing to exercise such rights are obligated to do so.  Any shareholder wishing to exercise such rights should consult with their own legal, financial and other professional advisors on a timely basis prior to the date of the Meeting if they wish to avail themselves of such rights.
 
2.4  
Tax and Other Financial Advice; Alternative Transaction Options
 
The Amalgamation contemplates the issuance to the shareholders of EmergeIT exchangeable preferred shares of Amalco. Shareholder(s) who are not Canadian residents within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and who request the ability to do so, may require the direct issuance by Paid of the shares of common stock and preferred stock that such shareholder(s) would otherwise be entitled to receive on the amalgamation if their exchangeable preferred shares of Amalco were immediately exchanged for such shares of common stock and preferred stock of Paid.

ARTICLE 9
INDEMNIFICATION
 
9.1  
Survival of Representations and Warranties.
 
All of the representations and warranties contained in Articles 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement shall survive Closing from the date hereof and continuing for a period of twelve months following the Effective Date (such period being the “Indemnity Period”) even if a party, as the case may be, knew or had reason to know of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty at the time of Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, breaches of representations, warranties and covenants resulting from fraud shall continue in effect without any time limitation until all applicable statutory limitation periods with respect to such claims have expired.
 
9.2  
General Indemnification.
 
(a) The sole recourse that any party hereto shall have in the event of a breach of a representation, warranty of covenant of EmergeIT, Amalco or Callco (except in the case of fraud as provided below) shall be to make a claim against the Escrow Shares (as defined below) under this Section 9.2 or, in respect of certain specific matters, and without duplication, a claim under Section 9.4.

-33-

 
 
9.3  
Escrow Shares and Deposit of Direction.
 
At the Effective Time, the parties shall reserve or deposit, as provided below:
 
(i) 5,500,000 Paid common shares resulting from the issuance of Paid securities resulting from the Amalgamation, which shares shall have been reserved for issuance to the shareholders of EmergeIT upon the exchange provided for herein (the “Escrowed Paid Amalco Shares”); and
 
 (ii) an irrevocable direction and associated board approval resolution authorizing the issuance by the transfer agent and registrar of Paid, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, of up to 5,500,000 Paid common shares, if, as and when required under this Agreement, which securities shall not be issued but shall be allotted and reserved for future issuance solely to the EmergeIT shareholders upon the exercise (if any) of indemnification rights under this Agreement or such direction shall be cancelled as provided for herein (the “Escrowed Paid Share Issuance Direction”).
 
The deemed value of each Paid common share being deposited into escrow under this Agreement is $0.27 per share.  The Escrowed Paid Amalco Shares and Escrowed Paid Share Issuance Direction shall remain in escrow throughout the Indemnity Period.
 
If no claim is made by Paid stockholders on account of the Amalgamation as a result of a breach by EmergeIT of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement within such period, the Escrowed Paid Amalco Shares will be released from escrow to the former shareholders of EmergeIT on the expiry of the Indemnity Period, on a pro rata basis.  However, if any such claim is made and finally confirmed by way of settlement agreement or final court proceeding from which all rights of appeal have lapsed, with respect to a claim arising during such period, an amount equal to the value of such claim shall be deducted from the number of Escrowed Paid Amalco Shares, such withheld securities shall be cancelled by Paid, and the balance only of such shares (if any) will be distributed to the EmergeIT shareholders, notwithstanding a right to receive a higher number of shares of common stock pursuant to any Exchangeable Share provisions or agreements related thereto.
 
If no claim is made by EmergeIT former shareholders on account of the Amalgamation as a result of a breach by Paid of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement within such period, the Escrowed Paid Share Issuance Direction will be cancelled and returned to Paid at the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing. However, if any such claim is made and finally confirmed by way of settlement agreement or final court proceeding from which all rights of appeal have lapsed, with respect to a claim arising during such period, an amount equal to the value of such claim shall be applied to the number of shares of Paid allotted and reserved for issuance as represented by the Escrowed Paid Share Issuance Direction, such withheld securities shall be issued on behalf of Paid by its registrar and transfer agent promptly following the release from escrow of the Escrowed Paid Share Issuance Direction, and the EmergeIT shareholders shall be entitled to receive their pro rata portion of such securities, in addition to their shares of common stock and preferred stock of Paid issuable on the exchange of their Exchangeable Shares, and the Escrowed Paid Share Issuance Direction with respect to the balance only of such shares (if any) will be cancelled and returned to Paid.
 
In both cases, if as of the expiry of the Indemnity Period notice of a claim or claims has been made, but the claim has not been finally settled or adjudicated, the parties may agree in writing to release (or cancel) a portion of the relevant escrowed shares, while the balance are retained in escrow pending resolution of such claim.
 
The escrow agent for the Escrow Shares shall be the duly appointed independent transfer agent and registrar of Paid or another independent, arm’s length party acceptable to Paid and exchangeIT to be designated prior to the Effective Date (the “Escrow Agent”). If necessary, the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Shares subject to and in accordance with this Section 9.3.  Claims shall be valued at their final amount and the number of securities to be issued to the holders of Exchangeable Shares or surrendered and cancelled by Paid as the case may be shall be, in respect of each such claim, the number determined by dividing the dollar value of such claim by the per share value set forth above (including any adjustments to same resulting from any stock split, reserve consolidation, stock dividend or other similar capital reorganization event which alters the number of issued and outstanding securities of Paid), until such time as the Indemnity Period has expired (or any claim brought prior to the expiry of such period has been finally resolved, whichever is later), or the number of shares available for indemnification has been exhausted.

(b) The foregoing specific indemnities are in addition to the general indemnification provisions of this Agreement and Paid shall cause an additional 10,000,000 shares of common stock to be reserved and available for issuance, pro rata, to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, on any conversion of their shares for shares of common stock and preferred stock of Paid, provided that:
 
(i) No claim may be made under (a)(i) above unless the amount thereof exceeds $50,000, after which the full amount of such claim shall be covered, up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000 (including costs and expenses of EmergeIT and the holders of the Exchangeable Shares for pursuing such claim); and
 
(ii) No claim may be made under (a)(ii) unless the amount thereof exceeds $10,000, after which the full amount of such claim shall be covered, up to a maximum amount of $1,000,000 (including costs and expenses of EmergeIT and the holders of the Exchangeable Shares for pursuing such claim).
 
(c) The indemnity of Paid referred to in Section 9.4(a)(i) above shall continue in effect until the earlier to occur of (1) thirty-six (36) months following the Effective Date; and (2) the date of removal of such claim from the financial statements of Paid as approved by its independent public auditors.

NET WORKING CAPITAL AMOUNT ADJUSTMENT
 
The valuation amount for the transaction is $14,997,166 (the “Transaction Value”).
 
The Effective Date of the transaction is expected to occur on or about October 3, 2016 and in any case prior to October 31, 2016 (the “Effective Date”)
 
5,500,000 shares of common stock and 38,250,000 shares of preferred stock in aggregate are issuable to the EmergeIT Shareholders under the Exchangeable Shares as of the Effective Date (the “Share Consideration”)
 
The estimated Net Working Capital Amount of EmergeIT immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall be not less than -$500,000.
 
The estimated Net Working Capital Amount of Paid immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall be not less than $75,000.
 
The actual Net Working Capital Amount for each of EmergeIT and Paid will be determined within 30 days following the Effective Date (the “Determination Date”).
 
If the actual Net Working Capital Amount as of the Determination Date for either or both of Paid and EmergeIT is within 10% of the estimated Net Working Capital Amount (the “Threshold”) no adjustment will be made to the Share Consideration in respect of such variance.
 
If the actual Net Working Capital Amount of either Paid or EmergeIT as of the Determination Date is less than or exceeds their estimated amount, an adjustment (positive or negative) will be made as follows:
 
a)  
To increase the relative proportionate ownership of the shareholders of EmergeIT in Paid, if the EmergeIT Net Working Capital Amount exceeds and / or the Paid Net Working Capital Amount is less than the estimated amount set forth above by a value exceeding the Threshold; and
 
b)  
To decrease the relative proportionate ownership of the shareholders of EmergeIT in Paid, if the EmergeIT Net Working Capital Amount is less than and / or the Paid Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the estimated amount set forth above by a value exceeding the Threshold.
 
Any increase or decrease in the actual Net Working Capital Amount of either Paid or EmergeIT exceeding the Threshold set forth above will result in an adjustment in the number of Consideration Shares, which adjustment will be determined by (i) multiplying the number of Consideration Shares issuable under this Agreement prior to such adjustment by a fraction the numerator of which is the excess or shortfall amount determined under (a) or (b) above and the denominator of which is the Transaction Value; (ii) adding that number of shares to, or subtracting that number of shares from the Consideration Shares; and (iii) allocating such increased number or reduced number of Consideration Shares pro rata to the EmergeIT Shareholders.
 
Any adjustment required above will be implemented initially by adjusting the number of escrowed shares held under this Agreement, such that:
 
·
in the case of a downward reduction in the number of shares to be issued to the EmergeIT Shareholders, a corresponding number of Exchangeable Shares held in escrow and representing the appropriate number of shares of common stock and preferred stock of Paid issuable to such holders will be cancelled; and
 
·
in the case of an upward increase in the number of shares to be issued to the EmergeIT Shareholders, a corresponding number of Exchangeable Shares exchangeable for shares of common stock and preferred stock of Paid will be issued to the EmergeIT Shareholders.

SCHEDULE “D”
 
RIGHT TO DISSENT
 
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 185 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), a Shareholder is entitled to dissent and be paid the fair value of their Shares if the Shareholder objects to the special resolution and the special resolution becomes effective.
 
A Shareholder may dissent only with respect to all of the Shares of a class held by the Shareholder on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the Shareholder’s name. However, a Shareholder is not entitled to dissent from the special resolution with respect to any Shares beneficially owned by one owner if the Shareholder votes any such Shares beneficially owned by that owner in favour of the special resolution.
 
In order to dissent, a Shareholder must send a written objection (an “Objection Notice”) to the special resolution to the Corporation at its principal office set forth in this notice of meeting, Attention: Allan Pratt and such Objection Notice must be received by the Corporation before the date of the Meeting.
 
A vote against the special resolution or an abstention in respect thereof does not constitute such an Objection Notice, but a Shareholder need not vote his or her Shares against the special resolution in order to dissent in respect of the special resolution. Similarly, the revocation of a proxy conferring authority on the proxy holder to vote in favour of the special resolution does not constitute an Objection Notice in respect of the special resolution, but any such proxy granted by a Shareholder who intends to dissent should be validly revoked in order to prevent the proxy holder from voting such Shares in favour of the special resolution and thereby disentitling the Shareholder from the right to dissent.
 
If the special resolution is approved, within 10 days following the date of the Meeting, the Corporation will deliver to each Shareholder who has filed an Objection Notice in respect of the special resolution, at the address specified for such purpose in such Shareholder’s Objection Notice, a notice stating that the special resolution has been adopted (the “Approval Notice”). An Approval Notice is not required to be sent to any Shareholder who voted for the special resolution or who has withdrawn an Objection Notice.
 
Within 20 days after receipt by a Shareholder of the Approval Notice or, if no Approval Notice is received by the dissenting Shareholder, within 20 days after such Shareholder learns that the special resolution has been adopted, the dissenting Shareholder is required to send a written notice to the Corporation, at the address set forth in the preceding paragraph, setting forth the Shareholder’s name and address, the number of Shares held in respect of which such Shareholder dissents and a demand for payment of the fair value of such Shares (the “Demand for Payment”).
 
Within 30 days thereafter, the Shareholder must send the Share certificates representing such shares of the Corporation.  Such Share certificates will be endorsed by the Corporation with a notice that the holder is a dissenting Shareholder and will be returned to the dissenting Shareholder. A Shareholder who fails to forward share certificates within the time required loses any right to make a claim for payment of the fair value of such Shareholder’s Shares.
 
On sending a Demand for Payment to the Corporation, a dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a Shareholder except the right to be paid the fair value of his or her Shares unless the dissenting Shareholder withdraws the Demand for Payment before the Corporation sends an Offer to Purchase as described below or the special resolution does not become effective, in which case such Shareholder’s rights are reinstated as of the date such Demand for Payment was sent. If a Shareholder fails to comply with each of the steps required to dissent effectively, the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to such Shareholder’s Shares will be amended in accordance with the special resolution.
 
 
-45-

 
 
Not later than seven days after the later of the day on which the action approved under the special resolution becomes effective and the date the Corporation receives the Demand for Payment, the Corporation will send to each dissenting Shareholder a written offer (the “Offer to Pay”) to pay for the Shares that are the subject of the Objection Notice in an amount considered by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to be the fair value of such Shares as of the close of business on the day before the day on which the action approved by the special resolution becomes effective, accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined. Every Offer to Pay for a class of Shares shall be on the same terms.
 
A dissenting Shareholder who accepts the Offer to Pay will be paid by the Corporation within 10 days of acceptance by the dissenting Shareholder of such offer, provided Share certificates representing the Shares held by such dissenting Shareholder have been delivered to the Corporation. The Offer to Pay lapses if the Corporation does not receive an acceptance of the Offer to Pay within 30 days after the date on which the Offer to Pay was made.
 
If the Corporation fails to make the Offer to Pay or a dissenting Shareholder fails to accept the Offer to Pay within the time limit prescribed therefor, the Corporation may apply under the OBCA to a court to fix a fair value for the Shares within 50 days after the day on which the action approved by the special resolution becomes effective or within such further period as the court may allow. Upon any application to a court by the Corporation, the Corporation shall notify each affected dissenting Shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of such dissenting Shareholder’s right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. If the Corporation fails to make such application, the dissenting Shareholder has the right to so apply within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as a court may allow.
 
All dissenting Shareholders whose Shares have not been purchased by the Corporation will be joined as parties to the application and will be bound by the decision of the court. The court may determine whether any person is a dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party and the court will fix a fair value for the Shares of all dissenting Shareholders. Provided that the special resolution becomes effective, a Shareholder who complies with each of the steps required to dissent effectively is entitled to be paid the fair value of the Shares in respect of which such Shareholder has dissented. Such fair value as determined by the court may be more than, less than or equal to the consideration to be received under the Offer to Pay.
 
The foregoing is a summary only of the rights of dissenting Shareholders. Any Shareholder desiring to exercise a right to dissent should seek legal advice since failure to comply strictly with the provisions of section 185 of the OBCA may prejudice that right. The right of a Shareholder to dissent is not exclusive of any other rights available to Shareholders generally, such as rights in respect of corporate directors’ duties of good faith and care under the OBCA or otherwise.

EXCHANGE RIGHT, AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE RIGHT AND
 
PAID SUPPORT
 
2.1
Grant and Ownership of the Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange Right
 
Callco hereby grants to each Non-Affiliated Holder the Automatic Exchange Right. Callco hereby grants to each Non-Affiliated Holder the right upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Insolvency Event, to require Callco to purchase from such holder all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and to the extent permitted by applicable law (the “Exchange Right”). Paid hereby ratifies, approves and confirms the grant by Callco of each of the Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange Right. Paid and Callco each hereby acknowledge receipt from the Non-Affiliated Holders of good and valuable consideration (and the adequacy thereof) for the grant of the Automatic Exchange Right and the Exchange Right by Callco to the holders.
 
2.2
Restrictions On Transfer and Legended Share Certificates
 
Except as required or permitted under this Agreement, no holder of Exchangeable Shares may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of their Exchangeable Shares unless, subject to applicable securities Laws in Canada and the United States, (i) such transaction is (in the case of a shareholder who is a natural person only) to a successor in interest as a result of their death; or (ii) in any other circumstance a transfer approved by the board of directors of each of Amalco and Paid. Amalco will cause each certificate representing Exchangeable Shares to bear an appropriate legend notifying the holder thereof of the Automatic Exchange Right, the Exchange Right and of their right to exercise the Exchange Right in respect of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder.
 
2.3
Exercise of Exchange Right
 
The Exchange Right shall be and remain vested in and exercisable by each holder in respect of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder.

2.4
Purchase Price
 
The purchase price payable by Callco for each Exchangeable Share to be purchased by Callco under the Exchange Right shall be an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration.
 
2.5
Exercise Instructions
 
Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, a Non-Affiliated Holder shall be entitled, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Insolvency Event, to exercise the Exchange Right with respect to all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder on the books of Amalco.  To exercise the Exchange Right, the Non-Affiliated Holder shall deliver to Amalco, in person or by certified or registered mail, at its registered office, or at such other places in Canada as Amalco may from time to time designate by written notice to the Non-Affiliated Holders, the certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires Callco to purchase, duly endorsed in blank for transfer, and accompanied by such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the articles and by-laws of Amalco and such additional documents and instruments as Amalco may reasonably require together with: (a) a duly completed form of notice of exercise of the Exchange Right, contained on the reverse of or attached to the Exchangeable Share certificates, stating (i) that the holder thereby exercises the Exchange Right so as to require Callco to purchase from the holder the number of Exchangeable Shares specified therein, (ii) that such holder has good title to and owns all such Exchangeable Shares to be acquired by Callco free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and encumbrances, (iii) the names in which the certificates representing Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock issuable in connection with the exercise of the Exchange Right are to be issued and (iv) the names and addresses of the persons to whom such new certificates should be delivered; and (b) payment (or evidence satisfactory to Amalco, Callco and Paid of payment) of the Taxes (if any) payable as contemplated by Section 2.8 of this Agreement. If only a portion of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate or certificates delivered to Amalco are to be purchased by Callco under the Exchange Right, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the holder at the expense of Amalco. In the event of any failure or refusal of Callco to do so, for any reason, the holder may exercise such rights by delivering a notice of exercise to like affect to Paid.
 
2.6
Delivery of Paid Common Stock and Paid Preferred Stock; Effect of Exercise
 
Promptly after receipt by Amalco of the certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares that a holder desires Callco to purchase under the Exchange Right, together with such documents and instruments of transfer and a duly completed form of notice of exercise of the Exchange Right (and payment of Taxes, if any, payable as contemplated by Section 2.8 or evidence thereof), duly endorsed for transfer to Callco, or as it may direct prior to closing, Amalco shall notify Callco and Paid of its receipt of the same, and Callco shall promptly thereafter deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder of such Exchangeable Shares (or to such other persons, if any, properly designated by such holder), the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration deliverable in connection with such exercise of the Exchange Right; provided, however, that no such delivery shall be made unless and until the holder requesting the same shall have paid (or provided evidence satisfactory to Amalco and Callco of the payment of) the Taxes (if any) payable as contemplated by Section 2.8 of this Agreement. Immediately upon the giving of notice by Amalco of the exercise of the Exchange Right, as provided in this Section 2.6, the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the Exchange Right shall be deemed to have occurred, and the holder of such Exchangeable Shares shall be deemed to have transferred to Callco all of its right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration therefor, unless such Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration is not delivered by Callco (or Paid, as the case may be) to such holder (or to such other person, if any, properly designated by such holder), within five Business Days of the date of the giving of such notice to Amalco, in which case the rights of the holder shall remain unaffected until such Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration is so delivered and any such cheque or other property comprising a portion of the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration is paid. Concurrently with the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the Exchange Right, such holder shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock delivered to it pursuant to the Exchange Right.
 
 
-49-

 

2.7
Exercise of Exchange Right Subsequent to Retraction
 
In the event that a Non-Affiliated Holder has delivered a Retraction Request pursuant to Article B7 of the Share Provisions, and provided that Callco has not exercised its Call Right with respect to the Retracted Shares and that the holder shall not have revoked the Retraction Request delivered by the holder to Amalco pursuant to Section B7.4(e) of the Share Provisions, the Retraction Request will constitute and will be deemed to constitute notice from the holder of the exercise of the Exchange Right with respect to those Retracted Shares.
 
2.8
Stamp or Other Transfer Taxes
 
Upon any sale of Exchangeable Shares to Callco (or Paid, as the case may be) pursuant to the Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Right, the share certificate or certificates representing Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock to be delivered in connection with the payment of the total purchase price therefor shall be issued in the name of the holder who is the holder of the Exchangeable Shares so sold or in such names as such holder may otherwise direct in writing without charge to the holder of the Exchangeable Shares so sold, provided, however, that such holder: (a) shall pay (and neither Paid nor Callco nor Amalco shall be required to pay) any documentary, stamp, transfer or other similar Taxes such holder may be legally required to pay in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of such shares to a person other than such holder; or (b) shall have established to the satisfaction of Paid, Callco and Amalco that such Taxes, if any, have been paid.
 
2.9
Notices to Non-Affiliated Holders
 
As soon as practicable following the occurrence of an Insolvency Event or any event that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would be an Insolvency Event, Amalco and Callco shall give written notice thereof to each Non-Affiliated Holder, which notice shall contain a brief statement of the right of the holders with respect to the Exchange Right.
 
2.10
Call Rights
 
The Liquidation Call Right, the Redemption Call Right, the Call Right and the Change of Law Call Right are hereby agreed to, acknowledged, consented to and confirmed.
 
2.11
Automatic Exchange Right
 
 
(1)
Paid or Callco, as the case may be, shall give each Non-Affiliated Holder written notice of each of the following events (each a “Paid Liquidation Event”) at the time set forth below:
 
 
(a)
in the event of any determination by the board of directors of Paid or Callco to institute voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up proceedings with respect to Paid or Callco or to effect any other distribution of assets of Paid or Callco among its stockholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, at least 10 days prior to the proposed effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other distribution; and
 
 
(b)
promptly following the earlier of (i) receipt by Paid or Callco of notice of, and (ii) Paid or Callco otherwise becoming aware of any instituted claim, suit, petition or other proceeding with respect to the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Paid or Callco or to effect any other distribution of assets of Paid or Callco among its stockholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs in each case where Paid or Callco has failed to contest in good faith any such proceeding commenced in respect of Paid within 30 days of becoming aware thereof.
 
 
(2)
The notice contemplated by Section 2.11(1)(a) or 2.11(1)(b) shall include a brief description of the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration provided for in Section 2.11(3) below (the “Automatic Exchange Right”).

 
(3)
In order that the Non-Affiliated Holders will be able to participate on a pro rata basis with the holders of Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets of Paid or Callco in connection with a Paid Liquidation Event, immediately prior to the effective date (the “Paid Liquidation Event Effective Date”) of a Paid Liquidation Event all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares (other than Exchangeable Shares held by Paid or its Subsidiaries) shall be automatically exchanged for the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration. To effect such automatic exchange, Paid or Callco shall, or shall cause a Permitted Affiliate to, subject to applicable law, purchase each Exchangeable Share outstanding on the last Business Day immediately prior to the Paid Liquidation Event Effective Date and held by a Non-Affiliated Holder, and each such holder shall sell free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances the Exchangeable Shares held by it at such time, for a purchase price per share equal to the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration.
 
 
-50-

 
 
 
(4)
On the Business Day immediately prior to the Paid Liquidation Event Effective Date, the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration shall be deemed to have occurred, and each Non-Affiliated Holder shall be deemed to have transferred to Paid or Callco all of such holder’s right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Shares free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances and shall cease to be a holder of such Exchangeable Shares and Paid or Callco shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such holders the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration deliverable upon the automatic exchange of the Exchangeable Shares.  Concurrently with each such Non-Affiliated Holder ceasing to be a holder of Exchangeable Shares, such holder shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock delivered to it pursuant to the automatic exchange of such holder’s Exchangeable Shares for the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration and the certificates held by such holder previously representing the Exchangeable Shares exchanged by such holder with Paid or Callco pursuant to such automatic exchange shall thereafter be deemed to represent the Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock delivered to such holder by Paid or Callco pursuant to such automatic exchange. Upon the request of any holder and the surrender by such holder of Exchangeable Share certificates deemed to represent Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock, duly endorsed in blank and accompanied by such instruments of transfer as Paid or Callco may reasonably require, there shall be delivered to such holder certificates representing the Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock of which such holder is the holder and the remainder of the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration, if any.
 
2.12
Paid Common Stock
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the obligations of Paid to issue Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock, and Callco to deliver or cause to be delivered Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock, pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Right or the Exchange Right, are subject to all applicable laws.
 
2.13
Withholding Rights
 
Paid, Callco and Amalco shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Non-Affiliated Holder of the Exchangeable Preferred Share Consideration such amounts (without duplication) as Paid, Callco or Amalco, as the case may be, is legally required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act or the U.S. Tax Code or any provision of federal, provincial, state, territorial, local or foreign Tax Law, in each case as amended or succeeded. In particular, any dividend paid on the Exchangeable Shares to Canadian resident holders may be subject to United States withholding tax as if such dividend had been paid on the Paid US Common Stock. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld 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 holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, Paid, Callco and Amalco are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Paid, Callco or Amalco, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and Paid, Callco or Amalco shall notify the holder thereof and remit to such holder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.
 
2.14
No Fractional Entitlements
 
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article 2, no Non-Affiliated Holder shall be entitled to, and Paid will not deliver, fractions of Paid US Common Stock or Paid US Preferred Stock.  Where the application of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article 2, would otherwise result in a Non-Affiliated Holder receiving a fraction of a Paid US Common Stock or Paid US Preferred Stock, the holder shall be entitled to receive the nearest whole number of Paid US Common Stock or Paid US Preferred Stock after rounding down the fractional share.

ARTICLE 3
 
PAID’S SUCCESSORS
 
3.1
Certain Requirements in Respect of Combination, etc.
 
Neither Paid nor Callco shall enter into any transaction (whether by way of reconstruction, reorganization, consolidation, arrangement, merger, transfer, sale, lease or otherwise) whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any Other Corporation (as defined below) or, in the case of a take-over, merger, arrangement, amalgamation or other business combination, of the continuing corporation resulting therefrom, but may do so if:
 
 
(a)
such Other Corporation or continuing corporation (the “Paid Successor”) by operation of Law, becomes, without more, bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement or, if not so bound, executes, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, an agreement supplemental hereto and such other instruments (if any) as are necessary or advisable to evidence the assumption by the Paid Successor of liability for all moneys payable and property deliverable hereunder and the covenant of such Paid Successor to pay and deliver or cause to be delivered the same and its agreement to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of Paid or Callco, as the case may be, under this Agreement; and

3.3
Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
 
Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the amalgamation or merger of any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Paid with or into Paid or the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Paid, provided that all of the assets of such Subsidiary are transferred to Paid or another direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Paid, and any such transactions are expressly permitted by this Article 3.

3.4
Successor Transaction

in which Paid merges or amalgamates with, or in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock are acquired by, one or more other corporations to which Paid, immediately before such merger, amalgamation or acquisition, is “related” within the meaning of the Tax Act (otherwise than by virtue of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) thereof);
 
 
(b)
which does not result in an acceleration of the Redemption Date in accordance with paragraph (b) of that definition; and
 
 
(c)
in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Paid US Common Stock and Paid US Preferred Stock are converted into or exchanged for shares or rights to receive such shares (the “Other Shares”) of another corporation (the “Other Corporation”) that, immediately after such Paid Liquidity Transaction, owns or controls, directly or indirectly, Paid, then:
 
 
(d)
all references herein to “Paid” shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to “Other Corporation” and all references herein to “Paid Common Stock” shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to “Other Shares” (with appropriate adjustments, if any, as are required to result in a holder of Exchangeable Shares on the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Share Provisions or exchange of such shares pursuant to this Agreement immediately subsequent to the Paid Liquidity Transaction being entitled to receive that number of Other Shares equal to the number of Other Shares such holder of Exchangeable Shares would have received if the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Share Provisions or exchange of such shares pursuant to this Agreement had occurred immediately prior to the Paid Liquidity Transaction and the Paid Liquidity Transaction was completed, but subject to subsequent adjustments to reflect any subsequent changes in the capital of the Other Corporation, including without limitation, any sub-division, consolidation or reduction of share capital) without any need to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement and without any further action required.
