(a)

Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations and warranties of Draganfly made in this Agreement, and any other agreement or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, will be true and accurate at Closing with the same force and effect as though those representations and warranties had been made as of Closing, and for certainty, any representations and warranties made as at a date before Closing will be deemed to be made as at Closing.

In addition, Draganfly will have delivered to DroneCorp a certificate of two senior officers (CEO and CFO) of Draganfly confirming the same.

Completion of Investigations. The investigations contemplated in Section 6.4 will have been completed and DroneCorp will be satisfied, in its sole discretion, with the results of those investigations, including the accuracy of the matters represented and warranted in Article 3 and evidence satisfactory to DroneCorp that Draganfly owns, possesses and has good and marketable title to its Intellectual Property.

Draganfly further covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith with its creditors to reduce the Draganfly Overdue Debt such that it does not exceed the Debt Settlement Amount.

Each Party also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Party and each director, officer or employee of the other Party from and against the full amount of any Loss that each may suffer as a result of a third party claim, even if that third party claim is ultimately found not to be meritorious, or is settled with no verdict on its merits being reached.

(e)

If the Party or other indemnified Person entitled to make a Claim for indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of a Loss or potential Loss in respect of which the Indemnifying Party has agreed to indemnify it under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice (an “Indemnity Notice”) of its Claim or potential Claim for indemnification (an “Indemnity Claim”) to the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnity Notice must specify whether the Indemnity Claim arises as the result of a Claim made against an Indemnified Party by a Person who is not a Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or as a result of a Loss that was suffered directly by an Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”), and must also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available):

50

 

 

 

(A)

the Amalgamation is submitted to the Draganfly Shareholders for approval while that Competing Proposal is outstanding and the Amalgamation Approval is not obtained; or

 

 

 

 

(B)

the Amalgamation is not submitted for the approval of the Draganfly Shareholders,

 

 

 

 

and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 and either:

 

 

(C)

the original Competing Proposal (as originally proposed or as amended); or

 

 

 

 

(D)

any other Competing Proposal that is made, proposed or publicly announced before the expiry or withdrawal of the original Competing Proposal (as originally proposed or as amended),

 

 

 

 

is consummated, or Draganfly shall have entered into an agreement relating to a Competing Proposal or its board of directors shall have recommended any Compeing Proposal, in all such cases on or before the date which is 12 months after the date of the termination of this Agreement,

 

 

(each, a “Termination Fee Event”), provided that Draganfly will not be obligated to make more than one payment of the Termination Fee under this Agreement, regardless of the number of Termination Fee Events which occur.

 

 

 

 

(b)

DroneCorp will be entitled to a payment from Draganfly of $250,000 (the “Expense Fee”):

if the Amalgmation Approval is not obtained by the Outside Date; or

 

 

 

 

(ii)

if DroneCorp terminates this Agreement under Section 8.2(b)(iii).

 

 

 

 

(each, an “Expense Fee Event”), provided that Draganfly will not be obligated to make more than one payment of the Expense Fee under this Agreement, regardless of the number of Expense Fee Events which occur.

 

 

(c)

Payment of a Termination Fee or Expense Fee under this Agreement will be made, within two Business Days upon written request by DroneCorp to Draganfly, to an account designated by DroneCorp.

 

 

 

 

Each Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Section 8.5 are payments in consideration for the disposition of DroneCorp’s rights under this Agreement and represent liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which DroneCorp 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. Draganfly irrevocably waives any right that it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, the Parties agree that the payment of an amount pursuant to this Section 8.5 in the manner provided herein is the sole and exclusive remedy of DroneCorp in respect of the event giving rise to such payment, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.5, and no payment of any such amount, shall relieve or have the effect of relieving Draganfly in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by DroneCorp as a result of an intentional or willful breach of this Agreement and nothing contained in this Section 8.5 shall preclude Draganfly from seeking injunctive relief in accordance with the Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such acts, covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting a bond or security in connection therewith.

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.
