this Section 2.2 shall not apply to any disclosure or announcement pertaining to this Agreement which a party is advised by legal counsel is required to be made by applicable laws, stock exchange rules or policies of regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction and which the other party after reasonable notice will not consent to.
|
2.3
|
If the Holder acquires any additional common shares of the Company (“Shares”) following the date hereof, the Holder acknowledges that such additional Shares shall be

|
(ii)

vote all of the Subject Shares electronically and to provide written confirmation of same to the Company and the Purchaser, in favour of the Transaction including, without limitation, the Transaction
Resolution and/or any matter that would reasonably be expected to facilitate the Transaction.

Transaction Resolution and/or any matter that would reasonably be expected to facilitate the Transaction; and
|
(e)
|

|
3.2
|
The Holder irrevocably covenants and agrees that the Holder will not:
|

|

pursuant to securities or corporate laws to delay or prevent the Transaction; or
|
(b)
|
bring, or threaten to bring, any suits or proceeding for the purpose of, or which has the effect of, directly or indirectly, frustrating, stopping, preventing, impeding, delaying or varying the Transaction
(for greater certainty, this shall not affect the ability of the Holder to exercise its rights in the event of any breach by the Purchaser of its obligations).
|
4.1
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Holder is bound hereunder solely in its capacity as a securityholder of the Company and that the
provisions hereof shall not be deemed or interpreted to bind the Holder or any representative thereof in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Nothing in this Agreement shall: (a) limit or
affect any actions or omissions taken by the Holder or any representative thereof in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including in exercising rights under the Purchase Agreement and
no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or (b) be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict the Holder or any representative thereof from fulfilling his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict any party or any representative thereof from properly fulfilling his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, including, without limitation, taking any action with respect to a Superior Proposal.
|
5.1
|
The Holder represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows and acknowledges that the Purchaser is relying upon these representations and warranties in connection with the entering into of this Agreement
and the Purchase Agreement:
|
(a)
|
the Holder has all necessary power, authority, capacity and right to enter into this Agreement and to carry out each of his or her obligations under this Agreement;
|
(b)
|
this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Holder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable
by the Purchaser against the Holder in accordance with its terms, subject however, to limitations imposed by applicable law in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings and to the extent that the award of equitable
remedies such as specific performance and injunction is within the discretion of the court from which they are sought;
|
(c)
|
the consummation by the Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not constitute a violation or a default under, or conflict with, any contract, commitment, agreement, arrangement, understanding
or restriction of any kind to which the Holder is a party or by which the Holder is bound;
|
(d)
|
except as specified in Schedule A with respect to Beneficiary Shares and Forfeitable Shares, the Holder (or its controlled affiliates) is either (i) the legal and beneficial owner of record, or (ii) the
beneficial owner exercising control and direction over (but not the holder of record of), the Subject Shares as listed in Schedule A, in each case, with good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any and all mortgages, liens,
charges, restrictions, security interests, adverse claims, pledges, encumbrances and demands or rights of others of any nature or kind whatsoever;
|
(e)
|
except as specified in Schedule A with respect to Beneficiary Shares and Forfeitable Shares, the Holder has the sole right to vote all the Subject Shares and has not previously granted or agreed to grant
any proxy other than pursuant to this Agreement;
|
(f)
|
except as specified in Schedule A with respect to Beneficiary Shares and Forfeitable Shares, no individual or entity has any agreement or option, or any right or privilege (whether by law, pre-emptive or
contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the purchase, acquisition or transfer from the Holder of any of the Subject Shares or any interest therein or right thereto, including without limitation any right to vote,
except the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement;
|
(g)
|
the Subject Shares are the only securities of the Company or its subsidiaries owned, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised, by the Holder and the Holder has no agreement or
option, or right or privilege (whether by law, pre-emptive or contractual) capable of becoming an agreement or option, for the purchase or acquisition by the Holder of additional securities of the Company;
|
(h)
|
the Holder has had adequate opportunity to obtain independent legal advice with respect to this Agreement and fully understands the terms contained in this Agreement; and
|
(i)
|
there are no legal proceedings in progress or pending before any governmental authority or, to the knowledge of the Holder, threatened against the Holder that would adversely affect in any manner the
ability of the Holder to enter into this Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder.
|
6.1
|
The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Holder as follows and acknowledges that the Holder is relying upon these representations, warranties and covenants in
connection with the entering into of this Agreement:

extent that the award of equitable remedies such as specific performance and injunction is within the discretion of the court from which they are sought;
|
(d) |

understanding or restriction of any kind to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound; and
|
(e) |
there are no legal proceedings in progress or pending before any governmental authority or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against the Purchaser or its affiliates that would adversely affect in any manner the ability of

|
7.4 |
In the case of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, such termination shall not relieve any

any party that is a defendant or respondent shall waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each of the parties hereby consents to any preliminary applications for such relief to any court
