Notwithstanding section 3.1 hereof, P-N Shareholders may exercise rights of dissent (the “P-N Dissent Right”) in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to the Interim Order and this Article 5.

5.2

P-N Notice of Dissent

Registered P-N Shareholders who wish to exercise a P-N Dissent Right must give written notice of dissent (“Notice of Dissent”) to P-N that must be in P-N’s possession by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) two (2) Business Days before the date of the P-N meeting, by depositing such Notice of Dissent with P-N, or mailing it to P-N by registered mail, at its registered office at 10th Floor, 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia  V6C 2T5, marked to the attention of Patricia Sandberg. A P-N Shareholder who has given a Notice of Dissent in accordance with this section 5.2 is herein referred to as a “P-N Dissenting Shareholder”.  A P-N Shareholder who wishes to dissent must prepare a separate notice of dissent for (i) the P-N Shareholder, if the P-N Shareholder is dissenting on its own behalf and (ii) each person who beneficially owns shares in the P-N Shareholder’s name and on whose behalf the P-N Shareholder is dissenting.  To be valid, a Notice of Dissent must:

(a)

identify in each Notice of Dissent the person on whose behalf dissent is being exercised;

(b)

set out the number of P-N Common Shares in respect of which the P-N Shareholder is exercising the P-N Dissent Right (the “P-N Dissenting Shares”), which number cannot be less than all of the P-N Common Shares held by the beneficial holder on whose behalf the P-N Dissent Right is being exercised;






11


(c)

if the P-N Dissenting Shares constitute all of the shares of which the P-N Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered owner and beneficial owner and the P-N Dissenting Shareholder owns no other shares of P-N as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect;

(d)

if the P-N Dissenting Shares constitute all of the shares of which the P-N Dissenting Shareholder is both the registered and beneficial owner but the P-N Dissenting Shareholder owns other shares of P-N as beneficial owner, a statement to that effect, and

(i)

the names of the registered owners of those other shares,

(ii)

the number of those other shares that are held by each of those registered owners, and

(iii)

a statement that Notices of Dissent are being or have been sent in respect of all those other shares; and

(e)

if dissent is being exercised by the P-N Dissenting Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the P-N Dissenting Shareholder, a statement to that effect, and

(i)

the name and address of the beneficial owner, and

(ii)

a statement that the P-N Dissenting Shareholder is dissenting in relation to all of the shares beneficially owned by the beneficial owner that are registered in the P-N Dissenting Shareholder’s name.

5.3

Right of Dissenting Shareholder

The giving of a Notice of Dissent does not deprive a P-N Shareholder of his or her right to vote at the P-N Meeting on the Special Resolution approving the Arrangement.  A vote against the Special Resolution or the execution or exercise of a proxy with instructions to vote against the Special Resolution does not constitute a Notice of Dissent.

5.4

When P-N Dissent Right Not Available

A P-N Shareholder is not entitled to exercise a P-N Dissent Right with respect to any P-N Common Shares if a P-N Shareholder votes (or instructs or is deemed, by submission of any incomplete proxy, to have instructed his or her proxyholder to vote) in favour of the Special Resolution approving the Arrangement.  However, a P-N Shareholder may vote as a proxy for a P-N Shareholder whose proxy required an affirmative vote, without affecting his or her right to exercise the P-N Dissent Right in respect of the P-N Common Shares of which he or she is the registered holder.






12


5.5

Notice to Proceed

If P-N intends to act on the authority of the Special Resolution approving the Arrangement, it must send a notice (the “Notice to Proceed”) to the P-N Dissenting Shareholder promptly after the later of:

(a)

the date on which P-N forms the intention to proceed, and

(b)

the date on which the Notice of Dissent was received.

If P-N has acted on the authority of that Special Resolution it must promptly send a Notice to Proceed to the P-N Dissenting Shareholder.  The Notice to Proceed must be dated not earlier than the date on which it is sent and state that P-N intends to act, or has acted, on the authority of the Special Resolution and advise the P-N Dissenting Shareholder of the manner in which dissent is to be completed under section 5.7 hereof.

5.6

Entitlement to Payment of Fair Value

On receiving a Notice to Proceed in accordance with section 5.5 hereof, the P-N Dissenting Shareholder is entitled to require PN Mergeco to purchase all of the P-N Common Shares in respect of which the Notice of Dissent was given.

5.7

Demand for Payment of Fair Value

A P-N Dissenting Shareholder who receives a Notice to Proceed is bound to sell its P-N Common Shares to PN Mergeco and must send to PN Mergeco by registered mail, at its registered office at 2800 Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia  V6C 2Z7, marked to the attention of Stuart Morrow, within 30 days after the date of mailing the Notice to Proceed:

(a)

a written statement that the P-N Dissenting Shareholder requires PN Mergeco to purchase all of the P-N Dissenting Shares;

(b)

the certificates representing the P-N Dissenting Shares, and

(c)

if dissent is being exercised by the P-N Shareholder on behalf of a beneficial owner who is not the P-N Dissenting Shareholder, a written statement signed by the beneficial owner setting out whether the beneficial owner is the beneficial owner of other shares of P-N and if so, setting out:

(i)

the names of the registered owners of those other shares,

(ii)

the number of those other shares that are held by each of those registered owners, and






13


(iii)

that dissent is being exercised in respect of all of those other shares, whereupon PN Mergeco is bound to purchase them in accordance with the Notice of Dissent.

5.8

Payment for P-N Dissenting Shares

PN Mergeco and the P-N Dissenting Shareholder may agree on the amount of the payout value of the P-N Dissenting Shares and in that event, must either promptly pay that amount to the P-N Dissenting Shareholder or send a notice to the P-N Dissenting Shareholder that PN Mergeco is unable lawfully to pay P-N Dissenting Shareholders for their shares as PN Mergeco is insolvent or if the payment would render PN Mergeco insolvent.

5.9

Application to Court to Fix Payout Value

If PN Mergeco and the P-N Dissenting Shareholder do not agree on the amount of the payout value of the P-N Dissenting Shares the P-N Dissenting Shareholder or PN Mergeco may apply to the Court and the Court may:

(a)

determine the payout value of the P-N Dissenting Shares or order that the payout value of the P-N Dissenting Shares be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar or a referee of the Court;

(b)

join in the application each P-N Dissenting Shareholder who has not agreed with PN Mergeco on the amount of the payout value of the P-N Dissenting Shares; and

(c)

make consequential orders and give directions it considers appropriate.

Promptly after a determination of the payout value of the P-N Dissenting Shares has been made, PN Mergeco must either pay that amount to the P-N Dissenting Shareholder or send a notice to the P-N Dissenting Shareholder that PN Mergeco is unable lawfully to pay P-N Dissenting Shareholders for their shares as PN Mergeco is insolvent or if the payment would render PN Mergeco insolvent.  If the P-N Dissenting Shareholder receives a notice that PN Mergeco is unable to lawfully pay P-N Dissenting Shareholders for their shares the P-N Dissenting Shareholder may within 30 days after receipt of the notice, withdraw his or her Notice of Dissent.  If the Notice of Dissent is not withdrawn the P-N Dissenting Shareholder remains a claimant against PN Mergeco to be paid as soon as PN Mergeco is lawfully able to do so or, in a liquidation, to be ranked subordinate to the rights of creditors of PN Mergeco but in priority to its shareholders.

5.10

Deemed Notice

Any notice required to be given by PN Mergeco, or a P-N Dissenting Shareholder to the other in connection with the exercise of the Dissent Right, will be deemed to have been given and received, if delivered, on the day of delivery, if mailed, on the earlier of the date of receipt or the second Business Day after the day of mailing, or, if sent by fax or other similar form of transmission, the first Business Day after the date of transmittal.






14


5.11

Consequences of Exercising P-N Dissent Rights

A P-N Shareholder who:

(a)

properly exercises the P-N Dissent Right by complying with all of the procedures (the “Dissent Procedures”) required to be complied with by a P-N Dissenting Shareholder, will:

(i)

be bound by the provisions of this Article 5;

(ii)

be deemed not to have participated in the Arrangement; and

(iii)

cease to have any rights as a P-N Shareholder other than the right to be paid the payout value of the P-N Dissenting Shares by PN Mergeco in accordance with the Dissent Procedures and is deemed to have disposed of his or her shares immediately prior to the Effective Date; or

(b)

seeks to exercise the P-N Dissent Right, but:

(i)

who for any reason does not properly comply with each of the Dissent Procedures required to be complied with by a P-N Dissenting Shareholder, or

(ii)

subsequent to giving his or her Notice of Dissent, acts inconsistently with such dissent;

will be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as each non-dissenting P-N Shareholder and will receive his or her pro rata portion of the Midway New Common Shares based upon the number of P-N Common Shares of which such P-N Dissenting Shareholder is the registered holder.  Midway may in its sole discretion waive any non-compliance by a shareholder with any of the provisions of this Article 5 in order to give effect to a shareholder’s P-N Dissent Rights.

5.12

Abandonment of Dissent

A P-N Dissenting Shareholder may not withdraw a Notice of Dissent without the consent of P-N. or, after the Effective Date, PN Mergeco.  A P-N Dissenting Shareholder may, after obtaining the written consent of P-N or PN Mergeco, as applicable, at any time prior to the payment to the P-N Dissenting Shareholder of the full amount of money to which the P-N Dissenting Shareholder is entitled under this section Article 5, abandon such P-N Dissenting Shareholder’s dissent to the Arrangement by giving written notice to P-N or PN Mergeco, as applicable withdrawing the Notice of Dissent by depositing such notice with P-N or PN Mergeco or mailing it by registered mail to P-N or PN Mergeco, in each case as applicable, at its registered office at, in the case of PN Mergeco, 2800 Park Place, 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia  V6C 2Z7, marked to the attention of Stuart Morrow, and in the case of P-N, 10th Floor - 595 Howe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia  V6C 2T5, marked to the attention of the Patricia Sandberg, or by






15


failing to send PN Mergeco the materials required under section 5.7 within the time specified therein, will then be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as each non-dissenting P-N Shareholder and will receive his or her pro rata portion of the Midway New Common Shares to which he or she is entitled.

5.13

Reservation of Midway New Common Shares

If a P-N Shareholder exercises the P-N Dissent Right, Midway will on the Effective Date set aside and not distribute that portion of the Midway New Common Shares which is attributable to the P-N Common Shares for which Dissent Rights have been exercised.  If a P-N Shareholder exercises the P-N Dissent Right, but as set out in subsection 5.11(b), does not properly comply with the Dissent Procedures or subsequent to giving his or her Notice of Dissent, acts inconsistently with such dissent, then Midway will distribute to such P-N Shareholder his or her pro rata portion of the Midway New Common Shares.  If a P-N Shareholder duly complies with the Dissent Procedures as set out in section 5.11(a), then Midway will retain the portion of the Midway New Common Shares attributable to such P-N Shareholder (the “Non-Distributed New Midway Shares”), and the Non-Distributed New Midway Shares will be dealt with as determined by the board of directors of Midway in its discretion.

ARTICLE 6 - AMENDMENT

6.1

6.3

Without Approval of P-N Shareholders

Any amendment, modification or supplement to this Plan of Arrangement may be made by Midway and P-N without approval of the P-N Shareholders provided that it concerns a matter which, in the reasonable opinion of Midway and P-N, is of an administrative or ministerial nature required to better give effect to the implementation of this Plan of Arrangement and is not materially adverse to the financial or economic interests of any of the P-N Shareholders.
