MISCELLANEOUS
| 6.1 | Termination |
This Agreement, other than the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 6.4(f) and 6.10, shall terminate and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall cease immediately at such time as the Investor’s Ownership Percentage is no longer at least 3%.
| 6.2 | Determining Ownership Percentage |
For the purposes of Sections 2.1(a) and 6.1, in determining whether the Investor’s Ownership Percentage is at least 10% or 3%, as applicable:
| (a) | any increase in the outstanding Common Shares of the Company arising from any Excluded Event (other than an Excluded Event pursuant to Section 3.7(f)), which, by increasing the number of Common Shares outstanding, reduces the percentage of outstanding Common Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by the Investor, shall be disregarded, and the Investor shall be deemed to own the percentage of Common Shares it would have held at such time if all such Excluded Events had not occurred; provided, however, that in the event the amount of Common Shares disregarded pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) is greater than 1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and: (i) the Company provides the Investor with a right to purchase a number of Common Shares in excess of its current Ownership Percentage (as calculated in accordance with Section 3.2) that would offset the reduction in the Investor’s Ownership Percentage caused by an Excluded Event (the amount of such excess being an “Excess Offer”), as set out in an Offering Notice delivered by the Company in connection with an Offering, which would not otherwise impact the Investor’s right to participate in an issuance in accordance with Sections 3.2 or 3.3; and (ii) (A) if the Investor elects to exercise the Excess Offer, the Company issues the Investor the number of Common Shares subject to the Excess Offer or (B) if the Investor does not elect to exercise the Excess Offer, the Corporation will have no obligation to issue any Common Shares subject to the Excess Offer, then the number of Common Shares offered to the Investor in accordance with the foregoing shall no longer be disregarded, and shall be counted for purposes of determining the Investor’s Ownership Percentage in accordance with this Section 6.2(a); and |
- 15 -
| (b) | any Common Shares issued as a result of a Dilutive Issuance shall be disregarded and the Investor shall be deemed to own the percentage of Common Shares it would have held at such time if such Dilutive Issuance had not occurred, unless and until the Company has delivered to the Investor a Top-up Notice in respect of such Dilutive Issuance and the Investor fails to exercise the Top-up Right within the applicable Notice Period, in which case, the Common Shares issued in connection with such Dilutive Issuance shall be counted. |
| 6.3 | Right to Information |
(a) Subject to the Company’s obligations and restrictions under Canadian Securities Laws or other Applicable Laws, during the term of this Agreement, at the request of the Investor, the Company shall provide the Investor with:
| (i) | reasonable access to the Company’s scientific and technical data, work plans and programs, permitting information and results of operations; |
| (ii) | written reports (including technical reports) on the status of the Company’s work programs as and when such reports are prepared (including all reports and materials made available to the Company, the Board or any committee of the Board or Company) and the Investor shall have the right to discuss such reports with management of the Company and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to reasonable questions and inquiries from the Investor with respect to the report and the contents thereof; and |
| (iii) | reasonable access to the Company’s team and its properties for the purpose of conducting site visits at mutually convenient dates and times to be agreed upon by the parties. |

| (e) | in no event shall the Investor, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents be liable to the Company for any indirect, special, consequential, incidental or punitive damages of any sort, loss of profits, failure to realize expected savings, loss of revenues or loss of use of any properties or capital, whether or not any such damages or claims were foreseeable, relating to, in connection with or arising out of the provision by the Investor or any of its Affiliates of Technical Assistance to the Company; and |
| (f) | the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each of its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”), to the full extent lawful, from and against any and all expenses, losses, claims (including shareholder actions, derivative or otherwise), actions, suits, proceedings, damages and liabilities, joint or several, including the aggregate amount paid in reasonable settlement of any actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims and the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel that may be incurred in advising with respect to and/or defending any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim that may be made or threatened against any Indemnified Party or in enforcing this indemnity or to which any Indemnified Party may become subject or otherwise involved in any capacity under any statute or common law or otherwise (collectively, “Losses”) insofar as such Losses relate to, are caused by, result from, arise out of or are based upon, directly or indirectly, the provision of Technical Assistance by the Investor or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party to the extent that any such Losses result from such Indemnified Party’s fraud, wilful misconduct or gross negligence. |
