In the event that the size of the Board is so increased or decreased, Harbinger shall vote its Equity Securities so that the number of Pinnacle Directors on the Board shall be in proportion to Pinnacle’s then ownership percentage of the Equity Voting Power, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number; provided, however, that in no event shall Harbinger vote its Equity Securities in a manner that would cause the number of Pinnacle Directors serving on the Board at any time to be less than two directors. In the event that the number of Pinnacle Directors on the Board at any time is less than its proportionate share based on Pinnacle’s then ownership percentage of the Equity Voting Power, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, then Pinnacle shall have the right to require (exercisable by written notice to Harbinger) that Harbinger, as the Majority Party, take, and Harbinger shall take, all necessary action, including without limitation effectuating an increase in the size of the Board or removal of some of the Harbinger Directors and causing the appointment of additional Pinnacle Directors and voting its Equity Securities thereafter, such that the number of Pinnacle Directors reflects Pinnacle’s proportionate share of such voting power; provided, however, that in no event shall Harbinger vote its Equity Securities in a manner that would cause the number of Pinnacle Directors serving on the Board at any time to be less than two directors.

(B) At any time during which Harbinger is the Minority Party:

(1) Harbinger and Pinnacle shall vote their respective Equity Securities so that (x) the Board shall be composed of at least seven but no more than 12 directors, and (y) the number of directors nominated by each of Pinnacle and Harbinger shall be proportionate to their then-respective ownership percentages of the Equity Voting Power, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.

 

- 3 -

(2) Pinnacle, as the Majority Party, shall have the sole right to recommend in writing any increase or decrease in the size of the Board between seven and 12 directors, and Harbinger, as the Minority Party, shall vote its Equity Securities so that the Board shall be comprised of such number of directors as recommended by Pinnacle. In the event that the size of the Board is so increased or decreased, Pinnacle shall vote its Equity Securities so that the number of Harbinger Directors on the Board shall be in proportion to Harbinger’s then ownership percentage of the Equity Voting Power, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number; provided, however, that in no event shall Pinnacle vote its Equity Securities in a manner that would cause the number of Harbinger Directors serving on the Board at any time to be less than two directors. In the event that the number of Harbinger Directors on the Board at any time is less than its proportionate share based on Harbinger’s then ownership percentage of the Equity Voting Power, rounded up or down to the nearest whole number, then Harbinger shall have the right to require (exercisable by written notice to Pinnacle) that Pinnacle, as the Majority Party, take, and Pinnacle shall take, all necessary action, including without limitation effectuating an increase in the size of the Board or removal of some of the Pinnacle Directors and causing the appointment of additional Harbinger Directors and voting its Equity Securities thereafter, such that the number of Harbinger Directors reflects Harbinger’s proportionate share of such voting power; provided, however, that in no event shall Pinnacle vote its Equity Securities in a manner that would cause the number of Harbinger Directors serving on the Board at any time to be less than two directors.

(C) Independent Director. Subject to Section 2.1(d)(xii), at any time other than during a Voting Period (whether Harbinger is the Majority Party or otherwise), Harbinger shall be required to include an Independent Director as one of its nominees for election as a director pursuant to Section 2.1(a); provided, that during the period ending on or before the twelve month anniversary of the Class VI Closing Date, Harbinger shall be required to propose the Chairman Nominee as its Independent Director nominee pursuant hereto for any election; provided further, however, that in the event the Chairman Nominee is unable or unwilling to serve or ceases to be an Independent Director, Harbinger shall be required to propose an Independent Director to serve on the Board. In all such events, Harbinger and Pinnacle shall vote their respective Equity Securities such that the Independent Director nominee proposed by Harbinger would be elected as a director to the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, as soon as practicable following the termination of a Voting Period and solely to the extent Pinnacle has nominated, and such director is at such time serving as, an Independent Director, (1) the Independent Director (including the Chairman Nominee if the Chairman Nominee is the Chairman of the Board) shall remain on the Board, but shall be designated to be a Harbinger Director without derogating from any of the rights set forth in Section 2.1(a)(i)(A) and (2) Pinnacle shall be entitled to appoint a replacement Pinnacle Director and Harbinger agrees to cause its appointed directors to act so as to effectuate Pinnacle’s right to appoint such Pinnacle Director in accordance with the foregoing, including by causing its directors to increase the size of the Board and fill a vacancy on the Board with such replacement Pinnacle Director.

Subject to Section 2.1(d)(xii), at any time during which Pinnacle is the Minority Party, Pinnacle may, but is not required to, propose an Independent Director as one of its nominees for election as a director pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i), and Harbinger and Pinnacle shall vote their respective Equity Securities such that the Independent Director nominee proposed by Pinnacle would be elected as a director to the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period ending on the later of the twelve month anniversary of the Class VI Closing Date and the end of the Voting Period, Pinnacle shall propose the Chairman Nominee as nominee for election as an Independent Director pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i); provided, however, that in the event the Chairman Nominee is unable or unwilling to serve or ceases to be an Independent Director, Harbinger and Pinnacle shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such person to resign from the Board, Pinnacle shall be entitled to propose an Independent Director to serve on the Board, and Harbinger and Pinnacle shall use their best efforts to cause their respective directors to fill the vacancy such that the Independent Director nominee proposed by Pinnacle would be elected as a director to the Board and, if necessary, to otherwise vote their respective Equity Securities such that such Independent Director is elected as a director to the Board.

(i) If the Transferring Seller has received an offer (including a preliminary indication of interest) relating to potential Tag-Along Sale, the Transferring Seller shall promptly, but no later than two Business Days following receipt of such offer (including a preliminary indication of interest) by the Third Party Offeror, notify the Tag-Along Party in writing (A) specifying (to the extent such information is known to the Transferring Seller) (i) the name and address of the Third-Party Offeror intending to purchase the Tag-Along Securities, (ii) the amount of Tag-Along Securities proposed to be purchased and the purchase price the Third-Party Offeror is willing to pay for such Tag-Along Securities to be purchased and the other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale, and (iii) that the Tag-Along Party has the rights provided under this Section 3.2 in respect of the proposed Tag-Along Sale and (B) attaching copies of any written documentation embodying or relating to such offer (the “Preliminary Tag-Along Notice”).

(ii) If such offer has developed into a reasonably definitive proposal for a Tag-Along Sale and the Transferring Seller intends to proceed with the Tag-Along Sale, the Transferring Seller shall promptly, but no later than two Business Days following receipt or conveyance of such reasonably definitive proposal, notify the Tag-Along Party in writing (A) specifying (i) the name and address of the Third-Party Offeror intending to purchase the Tag-Along Securities, (ii) the amount of Tag-Along Securities proposed to be purchased and the purchase price the Third-Party Offeror is willing to pay for such Tag-Along Securities to be purchased and the other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale, and (iii) that the Tag-Along Party has the rights provided under this Section 3.2 in respect of the proposed Tag-Along Sale and (B) attaching copies of all written documentation relating to such proposed Tag-Along Sale (the “Tag-Along Notice”).

 

- 22 -

(iii) The right of a Tag-Along Party to participate in a Tag-Along Sale may be exercised by delivery of a written notice to the Transferring Seller (the “Tag-Along Acceptance Notice”) within 20 Business Days following receipt of the Tag-Along Notice or, if later and if applicable, within 25 Business Days of receipt of the Majority Party’s written notice to the Minority Party under Section 6.2(b)(ii)(B)(7)(b) of the Majority Party’s or its Entity Affiliates’ proposed sale, Transfer or other disposition of Financing Securities. The Tag-Along Acceptance Notice shall state the number or amount of Tag-Along Securities that such Tag-Along Party wishes to include in such Tag-Along Sale to the Third-Party Offeror (which shall not be in excess of the applicable Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion). Upon the giving of a Tag-Along Acceptance Notice, such Tag-Along Party shall be entitled and obligated to sell the Tag-Along Securities set forth in the Tag-Along Acceptance Notice to the Third-Party Offeror on the terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice, and the Transferring Seller shall not consummate the sale of any Tag-Along Securities to the Third Party Offeror if the Third Party Offeror does not purchase all Tag-Along Securities which each Tag-Along Party desires to sell (which shall not be in excess of the applicable Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion or the Adjusted Majority Party Pro Rata Tag Along Portion) pursuant to this Section 3.2.

(b) Amount to be Sold. The Tag-Along Party shall be entitled to sell to the Third-Party Offeror, in conjunction with the closing of the Third-Party Offeror’s purchase of Tag-Along Securities from the Transferring Seller, up to that portion of its Tag-Along Securities determined by:

(i) with respect to Tag-Along Securities other than Company Debt, multiplying (A) the number of Tag-Along Securities that are held by the Tag-Along Party by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the number of Tag-Along Securities to be sold to the Third-Party Offeror by the Transferring Seller by (2) the total number of Tag-Along Securities then held by the Transferring Seller; provided, however, that in the event that the Minority Party and/or one or more of its Entity Affiliates is the Transferring Seller and immediately prior to the consummation of any such Tag Along Sale the Minority Party and its Entity Affiliates collectively own 33% or less of the voting power of the voting capital stock of the Company at such time of determination, the Majority Party and its Entity Affiliates shall only be permitted to Transfer 50% of the total number of Tag-Along Securities to be sold to the Third-Party Offeror that the Majority Party and its Entity Affiliates would otherwise have been permitted to Transfer in such Tag-Along Sale under the formula described in this sentence excluding this proviso (the “Adjusted Majority Party Pro Rata Tag Along Portion”);

(ii) with respect to Company Debt, multiplying (A) the principal amount of outstanding Company Debt held by and accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Tag-Along Party by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the principal amount of outstanding Company Debt to be sold to the Third-Party Offeror by the Transferring Seller by (2) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Company Debt held by and accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Transferring Seller; and

 

- 23 -

(iii) the Transferring Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in the proposed Tag-Along Sale to the Third-Party Offeror all of the Tag-Along Securities that the Tag-Along Party has requested to have included pursuant to the applicable Tag-Along Acceptance Notice, it being understood that the Third-Party Offeror shall not be required to purchase Tag-Along Securities in excess of the number set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. In the event the Third-Party Offeror elects to purchase less than all of the Tag-Along Securities sought to be sold by the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party, the number of Tag-Along Securities to be Transferred to the Third-Party Offeror by the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party shall be reduced so that each such shareholder is entitled to sell its Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion of the number of Tag-Along Securities the Third-Party Offeror elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of Securities set forth in the Tag-Along Notice). For purposes of this Section 3.2, the “Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion” shall mean:

(A) Tag Along Securities other than Company Debt: with respect to the number of Tag-Along Securities other than Company Debt to be sold by each shareholder (whether the Transferring Seller or the Tag-Along Party, as the case may be), the number of Tag-Along Securities other than Company Debt equal to the product of (1) the total number of Tag-Along Securities that the Third-Party Offeror proposes to purchase and (2) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Tag-Along Securities then held by such shareholder and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the number of Tag-Along Securities then held collectively by the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party; provided, however, that in the event that the Minority Party and/or one or more of its Entity Affiliates is the Transferring Seller and immediately prior to the consummation of any such Tag Along Sale the Minority Party and its Entity Affiliates collectively own 33% or less of the voting power of the voting capital stock of the Company at such time of determination, the Majority Party and its Entity Affiliates shall only be permitted to Transfer the Adjusted Majority Party Pro Rata Tag Along Portion (but for purposes of applying that definition in this section, using the formula described in this sentence excluding this proviso); and

(B) Company Debt: with respect to the amount of Company Debt to be sold by each shareholder (whether the Transferring Seller or the Tag-Along Party, as the case may be), the amount of Company Debt equal to the product of (1) the total amount of outstanding Company Debt that the Third-Party Offeror proposes to purchase and (2) a fraction (x) the numerator of which is equal to the principal amount of outstanding Company Debt held by and accrued and unpaid interest owed to such shareholder and (y) the denominator of which is equal to the principal amount of outstanding Company Debt held by and accrued and unpaid interest owed collectively to the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party.

(c) Consideration to be Received. The consideration to be received by the Tag-Along Party shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Tag-Along Security to be received by the Transferring Seller, and the terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale shall be the same as those upon which the Transferring Seller sells its Tag-Along Securities.

(d) Related Documentation.

(i) In connection with the transaction contemplated by Section 3.2, each Tag-Along Party will agree to make substantially the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Transferring Seller so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by the Transferring Seller; provided that (A) any general indemnity given by the Transferring Seller, applicable to liabilities not specifically related to the Transferring Seller or its ownership of the respective Tag-Along Securities to be Transferred by it, to the Third-Party Offeror in connection with the Tag-Along Sale shall be apportioned with the Tag-Along Party according to the consideration received by each of the Transferring Seller and the Tag-Along Party, (B) the aggregate liability of any such Transferring Seller or the Tag-Along Party in connection with such representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall not exceed such party’s net proceeds from the Tag-Along Sale, and (C) any representation and indemnification obligation relating specifically to a Transferring Seller or the Tag-Along Party, its respective Tag-Along Securities and/or its respective authorization, execution and delivery of agreements and instruments in connection with the Tag-Along Sale to the Third-Party Offeror shall be made and borne only by such party.

(ii) Each Tag-Along Party shall execute and deliver all agreements and other documents as the Transferring Seller executes and delivers in connection with the Tag-Along Sale if so required by the Transferring Seller.

(e) Fees and Expenses. Harbinger and Pinnacle shall each pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with a Tag-Along Sale under this Section 3.2, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Third-Party Offeror.

(f) Application of Tag-Along.

(i) This Section 3.2 shall not apply to any Transfer of Equity Securities in a Drag-Along Transaction for which the Transferring Seller shall have elected to exercise its rights under Section 3.3 or an Exit Sale for which Pinnacle shall have elected to exercise its rights under Section 3.4 (except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in Section 3.4) or to a Transfer described in Section 3.1(a) hereof or in Section 3.1(c)(vi) hereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.2, in the event that (A) any party hereto enters into or executes a Transfer constituting a pledge of Securities or other grant of a lien or security interest therein, directly or indirectly, or (B) there is a further Transfer of the Securities so pledged or subjected to such lien or security interest pursuant to a foreclosure on such pledge, lien or security interest, or a Transfer in lieu of foreclosure (any such further Transfer pursuant to a pledge, lien or security interest, a “Subsequent Transfer”), this Section 3.2 (other than Section 3.2(f)(ii)) shall not apply to any such Transfer or Subsequent Transfer. For purposes of clarity, the transferee in any Subsequent Transfer shall comply with Section 3.1(d)(ii) and be and become bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 3.2.

 

- 25 -

(iii) With respect to warrants, options, stock appreciation rights or similar rights with an exercise privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of Securities or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any series or class of Securities, which warrants, options, stock appreciation rights or similar rights do not contain any preferences, rights or obligations, other than the right to acquire, settle at a price related to or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of, such underlying Securities (a “Derivative Instrument”), such Derivative Instruments shall be included within the definition of Tag-Along Securities for purposes of this Section 3.2. As a result of the foregoing sentence, in the event that the Transferring Seller seeks to Transfer Derivative Instruments pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Tag Along Party shall have the right to participate in such Transfer of Derivative Instruments by Transferring to the Third Party Offeror the number or amount of Derivative Instruments and/or Securities underlying such Derivative Instruments as calculated under Section 3.2(b)(i) or 3.2(b)(iii), as applicable; provided, that for purposes of that calculation, Securities underlying such Derivative Instruments and such Derivative Instruments shall be treated as equivalent Tag Along Securities. The consideration to be received by the Tag Along Party in this context shall be the same form and amount of consideration (as adjusted, as necessary, to account for the lack of an exercise price associated with the Securities underlying such Derivative Instruments being Transferred and to account for the value per unit of the Securities underlying such Derivative Instrument where such Derivative Instrument is exercisable for or relates to more than one unit of the Securities underlying such Derivative Instrument) per Tag Along Security to be received by the Transferring Seller, and the terms and conditions of the Tag Along Sale shall be the same as those upon which the Transferring Seller sells its Tag-Along Securities.

Section 3.3 Drag-Along Right.

(a) General.

(i) If (A) Harbinger by itself or together with any other holder(s) of Equity Securities proposes to Transfer Equity Securities which collectively represent more than 50% of the Equity Voting Power in a single or series of substantially related transactions to an unaffiliated third party (a transaction in which this Section 3.3(a)(i) is applicable, a “Drag-Along Transaction”) and (B), then if requested by Harbinger, Pinnacle (unless it then owns Equity Securities representing 33% or more of the Equity Voting Power) shall be required to sell its Pro Rata Drag-Along Portion of its Equity Securities in the Drag-Along Transaction pursuant to this Section 3.3. For purposes hereof, the “Pro Rata Drag-Along Portion” means that portion of Securities determined by multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis that are held by Pinnacle by (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis to be sold to the purchaser by Harbinger (and such other holders, as applicable) by (2) the total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis then held by Harbinger (and such other holders, as applicable).

 

- 26 -

(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, (A) if the proposed Drag-Along Transaction is structured as a sale of assets or a merger, amalgamation, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, recapitalization or similar corporate transaction or otherwise requires approval of Company shareholders, Pinnacle will vote or cause to be voted all Securities that it holds or with respect to which Pinnacle has the power to direct the voting and which are entitled to vote on such transaction in favor of such transaction and will waive any appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights which Pinnacle may have in connection therewith, (B) if the proposed Drag-Along Transaction is structured as or involves a sale, redemption, reorganization or recapitalization of Equity Securities, Pinnacle agrees to sell its Pro Rata Drag-Along Portion of the Equity Securities being sold in such Drag-Along Transaction on the terms and conditions approved by Harbinger, and (C) if directed by Harbinger, Pinnacle will exercise or convert, as applicable, all options, warrants or other rights to purchase or subscribe for Equity Securities or into Equity Securities held by Pinnacle.

(b) Closing. Harbinger shall provide written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to Pinnacle not later than the date of acceptance of the Drag-Along Transaction by Harbinger and in any event not later than 15 Business Days prior to the closing date of the Drag-Along Transaction. The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth the consideration to be paid by the purchaser for the Equity Securities, the identity of the purchaser, and the material terms of the Drag-Along Transaction.

(c) Consideration to be Received.

(i) In the event that immediately prior to the consummation of any Drag-Along Transaction, Pinnacle (together with its Entity Affiliates) owns 10% or less of the Equity Voting Power, then the consideration to be received by Pinnacle pursuant to such Drag-Along Transaction shall be solely in the form of cash, regardless of the form of consideration per Equity Security to be received by Harbinger based on the transaction value per Equity Security designated in the applicable Drag-Along Transaction.

(ii) In the event that immediately prior to the consummation of a Drag-Along Transaction in which some or all of the consideration to be received by Harbinger and Pinnacle is non-cash consideration, Pinnacle (together with its Entity Affiliates) owns in excess of 10% of the Equity Voting Power, then the consideration to be received by Pinnacle shall be the same form and amount of consideration per Equity Security to be received by Harbinger, and the terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which Harbinger sells its Equity Securities.

(A) Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 3.3(c)(ii), Pinnacle shall have the right, with respect to one-half of the aggregate non-cash consideration that Pinnacle is compelled to receive pursuant to such Drag-Along Transaction, to require Harbinger to purchase in cash from Pinnacle up to US$75,000,000 of the non-cash consideration received by Pinnacle based on the transaction value per Equity Security designated in the applicable Drag-Along Transaction. In order to exercise this right, Pinnacle must provide Harbinger with written notice within 10 Business Days following the date the Drag-Along Notice is received by Pinnacle pursuant to Section 3.3(b), or otherwise Pinnacle shall be deemed to have forfeited any rights to require

 

- 27 -

such purchase. In lieu of making any cash payment otherwise required to be made by Harbinger to Pinnacle pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (A), Harbinger shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deliver one or more promissory notes to Pinnacle issued by Harbinger (1) having an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such cash payment otherwise so required, (2) bearing a rate of interest equal to 2% per annum, (3) having a term of no later than 120 days from the closing date of the Drag-Along Transaction, (4) containing such terms and conditions (in addition to the aforementioned principal amount, interest rate and term) as Harbinger determines is or could be reasonably imposed by a financial institution lending to Harbinger on an unrelated basis, and (5) which shall be secured by a first priority security interest, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Pinnacle, in the non-cash consideration purchased by Harbinger from Pinnacle.

(d) Related Documentation. In connection with a Drag-Along Transaction, Pinnacle will agree to make substantially the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as Harbinger so long as they are made severally and not jointly and the liabilities thereunder are borne on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by Harbinger; provided, that:

(i) any general indemnity given by Harbinger and such other holders (as applicable), applicable to liabilities not specifically related to Harbinger or such other holders (as applicable) or their ownership of the respective Equity Securities to be Transferred by Harbinger and such other holders (as applicable), to the purchaser in connection with such Drag-Along Transaction shall be apportioned among Harbinger, such other holders (as applicable) and Pinnacle according to the consideration received by each such party;

(ii) the aggregate liability of Pinnacle in connection with such representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall not exceed Pinnacle’s net proceeds from the Drag-Along Transaction;

(iii) any representation and indemnification obligation relating specifically to a selling holder, its Equity Securities and/or its authorization, execution and delivery of agreements and instruments in connection with the Drag-Along Transaction shall be made and borne only by such selling holder; and

(iv) Pinnacle shall not be required if requested by the purchaser in the Drag-Along Transaction to enter into any non-compete agreements with respect to the conduct of its and its Entity Affiliate’s businesses in connection with the Drag-Along Transaction unless such non-compete restrictions:

(A) are limited to (1) any area within a 300 kilometer radius of either the Ho Tram Project if Pinnacle or any of its Entity Affiliates is the operator of any hotel or casino therein or any other then-existing Company project at which Pinnacle or any of its Entity Affiliates is the operator of any hotel or casino, and (2) the city of Da Nang and all areas of Vietnam south of the 16th parallel; and

 

- 28 -

(B) do not limit (1) Pinnacle’s or its Entity Affiliate’s rights under the Pinnacle Management Agreement, (2) Pinnacle’s or its Entity Affiliate’s ability to operate any of its or its Entity Affiliates’ then-existing sites, or (3) Pinnacle’s or its Entity Affiliates’ ability to develop, construct or acquire any site with a hotel, casino, racetrack, sports, or entertainment venue or related or ancillary businesses that is prior to the date of the Drag-Along Notice subject to an executed term sheet (which may be non-binding) or definitive agreement with an unaffiliated third party regarding the development, construction or acquisition of such a facility, or located or to be located on a parcel of land purchased, leased or otherwise controlled by Pinnacle or any of its Entity Affiliates (including, without limitation, pursuant to an option to purchase or lease such land) for the purpose of developing or constructing such a facility.

(e) Fees and Expenses. Harbinger and Pinnacle shall each pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with a Drag-Along Transaction, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the purchaser.

(f) Non-Applicability of Drag-Along Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3, in the event that (A) any party hereto enters into or executes a Transfer constituting a pledge of Securities or other grant of a lien or security interest therein, directly or indirectly, or (B) there is a Subsequent Transfer, parts (a) through (e) of this Section 3.3 shall not apply to any such Transfer or Subsequent Transfer. For purposes of clarity, the transferee in any Subsequent Transfer shall comply with Section 3.1(d)(ii) and be and become bound by the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 3.3.

Section 3.4 Investor Exit Sale Right.

(a) Following such time that (i) the Minority Party (together with its Entity Affiliates) ceases to hold at least 7.5% of the Equity Voting Power, or (ii) solely in Pinnacle’s or its Entity Affiliates’ case, a Competitor becomes the holder of Equity Securities in an amount equal to or more than (A) 10% of the outstanding Equity Securities on a Fully Diluted Basis, or (B) 10% of the Equity Voting Power, the Minority Party and its Entity Affiliates shall have the right to elect at any time following the consummation of an occurrence described in clause (i), or solely in Pinnacle’s or its Entity Affiliates’ case, clause (ii), to Transfer all or a portion of their then remaining Securities in a single transaction to an unaffiliated third party (such unaffiliated third party, an “Exit Sale Purchaser”, and such transaction, an “Exit Sale”), subject to the Majority Party’s rights of first negotiation set forth in Section 3.5.

(b) In the event that, pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 3.4, the Minority Party (together with any of its Entity Affiliates) consummates an Exit Sale to an unaffiliated third party, then the Majority Party shall retain its right to elect to be a Tag-Along Party in such Exit Sale so long as the Minority Party (together with its Entity Affiliates) is selling less than 100% of its Securities in such Exit Sale; provided, however, that the Majority Party shall be entitled to sell to the Exit Sale Purchaser up to that portion of its Securities equal to the Adjusted Majority Party Pro Rata Tag-Along Portion, as applicable.

Section 3.5 Right of First Negotiation.

(a) In the event that either Harbinger or Pinnacle or any of their respective Entity Affiliates proposes to Transfer any Securities (other than Transfers permitted by Sections 3.1(a)(ii), and, solely in Pinnacle’s case, also Section 3.1(c)(vi)) (such Transferring party, together with its Entity Affiliates, the “ROFN Seller”), the ROFN Seller shall provide the other party, together with its Entity Affiliates (such other party, together with its Entity Affiliates, the “ROFN Buyer”), with written notice of its intent to Transfer such Securities, which notice shall set forth the number of Securities proposed to be Transferred (the “ROFN Notice”). For a period of 20 Business Days following receipt of the ROFN Notice (the “ROFN Period”), if and solely to the extent initiated by the ROFN Buyer during the ROFN Period, the ROFN Buyer and the ROFN Seller shall, on an exclusive basis, negotiate in good faith with one another regarding a transaction pursuant to which the ROFN Buyer would acquire all, but not less than all, of the Securities to be Transferred by the ROFN Seller as set forth in the ROFN Notice (the “ROFN Transaction”). Unless and until definitive documentation providing for the terms and conditions of a ROFN Transaction is executed and delivered by all parties thereto, (i) the ROFN Seller, except with respect to its obligation to negotiate in good faith on an exclusive basis as set forth above, shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever to the ROFN Buyer with respect to any ROFN Transaction, including any obligation to enter into either a non-binding term sheet or letter of intent, or definitive documentation, providing for the terms and conditions of the ROFN Transaction, and (ii) the ROFN Buyer shall not have any claim of any nature whatsoever (including any claim for breach of contract or detrimental reliance) in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall not apply to entering into or executing a Transfer constituting a pledge of Securities or other grant of a lien or security interest therein, directly or indirectly, and (y) the provisions of this Section 3.5 shall apply to Subsequent Transfers, except that the ROFN Period with respect to such Subsequent Transfers shall be 15 Business Days instead of 20 Business Days.

(b) If at the expiration of the ROFN Period, the ROFN Seller and ROFN Buyer have not entered into a non-binding term sheet or non-binding letter of intent with respect to a ROFN Transaction, the ROFN Seller may, prior to the six month anniversary of the last day of the ROFN Period, seek to Transfer all or a portion of its Securities covered by the ROFN Notice to an unaffiliated third party subject to Section 3.2.

(c) If prior to the expiration of the ROFN Period, the ROFN Seller and the ROFN Buyer have entered into a non-binding term sheet or non-binding letter of intent with respect to a ROFN Transaction, then for a period of 40 Business Days following the execution of such non-binding term sheet or non-binding letter of intent (the “ROFN Definitive Documentation Period”), the ROFN Buyer and the ROFN Seller shall, on an exclusive basis, negotiate in good faith with one another regarding definitive documentation providing for the terms and conditions of the ROFN Transaction. Unless and until definitive documentation providing for the terms and conditions of the ROFN Transaction is executed and delivered by all parties thereto, (i) the ROFN Seller, except with respect to its obligation to negotiate in good faith on an exclusive basis as set forth above, shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever to the ROFN Buyer with respect to any ROFN Transaction, including any obligation to enter into definitive documentation providing for the terms and conditions of the ROFN Transaction, and (ii) the ROFN Buyer shall not have any claim of any nature whatsoever (including any claim for breach of contract or detrimental reliance) in connection therewith.

(d) If at the expiration of the ROFN Definitive Documentation Period, the ROFN Seller and ROFN Buyer have not entered into definitive documentation to consummate a ROFN Transaction, the ROFN Seller may, prior to the six month anniversary of the last day of the ROFN Definitive Documentation Period, seek to Transfer all or a portion of its Securities covered by the ROFN Notice to an unaffiliated third party subject to Section 3.2.

(e) If the ROFN Seller does not consummate a sale of its Securities covered by the ROFN Notice to an unaffiliated third party (or enter into definitive documentation with respect thereto) prior to the six month anniversary of the last day of the ROFN Definitive Documentation Period, if applicable (or if the ROFN Definitive Documentation Period is not applicable, the ROFN Period), for any reason whatsoever, the ROFN Seller shall forfeit any and all rights to consummate such a Transfer, and the ROFN Buyer’s right of first negotiation under this Section 3.5 shall again be in full force and effect should the ROFN Seller seek to Transfer such Securities again.

Section 3.6 Disposition of Securities. In connection with any disposition of Securities by Harbinger or Pinnacle, to the extent still required by Applicable Law or to the extent requested by Harbinger or Pinnacle, as the case may be, the Company shall provide required information and reasonable assistance to Harbinger or Pinnacle, as the case may be, in connection with any application that may be made by such party for a certificate to be issued pursuant to Section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a “Section 116 Certificate”) or related provisions, or any notification pursuant to Section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or related provisions.

Section 3.7 Recognition of Transfers and Endorsement on Certificates. The Company shall not recognize any Transfers of Securities made in violation of this Agreement. Any and all certificates representing Securities now or hereafter owned by either Harbinger or Pinnacle or their respective Entity Affiliates during the term of this Agreement (whether such Securities are issued initially or with respect to Transfer or otherwise) shall have endorsed thereon in bold type the following legend:

“The securities represented by this certificate are subject to the provisions of an Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement dated August 29, 2012 as amended from time to time, and such securities are not transferable on the books of the Company except in accordance and compliance with the terms and conditions of such Agreement.”

ARTICLE 4

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

Section 4.1 Preemptive Rights.

(a) The Company grants to each of Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) separately the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Preemptive Portion of all or any part of Preemptive Securities that the Company from time to time after the date hereof proposes to issue, or to grant an option or other right for the purchase or subscription for; provided, however, that at the relevant time, such shareholder (i) solely with respect to the issuance by the Company of Equity Securities (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (i) of this proviso shall not apply to the extent that an issuance by the Company of Securities consists of Debt of the Company, or other interest or participation in Debt of the Company, or any combination of any of the foregoing), continues to hold together with its Entity Affiliates at least that number of Equity Securities as is equal to the lesser of (A) 50% of the Equity Securities that are owned by such shareholder and its Entity Affiliates immediately following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Pinnacle Subscription Agreement, and (B) 7.5% of the total amount of Equity Securities outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis on such date immediately prior to such issuance, and (ii) is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) (each such shareholder, together with its Entity Affiliates, a “Preemptive Person”).

(i) For purposes of this Article 4, “Pro Rata Preemptive Portion” means, with respect to any Preemptive Person, on any issuance date for Preemptive Securities, the amount of Preemptive Securities equal to the product of:

(A) New Class or Series of Preemptive Securities: With respect to the issuance of a new class or series of Preemptive Securities not previously issued by the Company (a “New Class of Securities”), the product of (x) the total number or amount of such Preemptive Securities to be issued by the Company on such date, multiplied by (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis then held by such Preemptive Person immediately prior to such issuance of Preemptive Securities and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares held by Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) outstanding on such date immediately prior to such issuance on a Fully Diluted Basis.

(B) “Add-On” Securities: With respect to the issuance of Preemptive Securities that are of a class or series previously issued by the Company prior to the issuance of such Preemptive Securities (excluding the Common Shares, the calculation for which is set forth below in Section 4.1(a)(i)(C)) (“Add-On Securities”), the product of (x) the total number or amount of such Preemptive Securities to be issued by the Company on such date, multiplied by (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the total number of such Preemptive Securities of such class or series, if any, then held by such Preemptive Person immediately prior to such issuance of such Preemptive Securities, and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the total number of all such Preemptive Securities of such class or series outstanding on such date immediately prior to such issuance on a Fully Diluted Basis; provided, however, that Add-On Securities that are convertible into Common Shares shall be treated as Securities of such previously issued class or series rather than as the Common Shares into which such Add-On Securities are convertible.

(C) Common Shares: With respect to the issuance of additional Common Shares, the product of (x) the total number or amount of such Preemptive Securities to be issued by the Company on such date, multiplied by (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis then held by such Preemptive Person immediately prior to such issuance of Preemptive Securities and (2) the denominator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares held by Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) outstanding on such date immediately prior to such issuance on a Fully Diluted Basis.

(b) The number or amount of Preemptive Securities that the Preemptive Persons may purchase pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be referred to as the “Preemptive Security Purchase Securities”. The purchase right provided in this Section 4.1 shall apply at the time of issuance of any right, warrant, or option or convertible or exchangeable security and not to the conversion, exchange or exercise thereof. Except as expressly provided in this Article 4 or Section 6.2(b)(ii)(B), Pinnacle shall not assert any preemptive rights pursuant to any other agreements in existence as of the date hereof.

(c) The Company shall give written notice of a proposed issuance or sale described in Section 4.1(a) to the Preemptive Persons within five Business Days after any such issuance or sale is duly approved by the Board and at least 25 Business Days prior to the proposed issuance or sale. Such notice (the “Issuance Notice”) shall set forth the material terms and conditions of such proposed transaction, including the proposed manner of disposition, the number or amount and description of the Preemptive Securities proposed to be issued, the proposed issuance date, and the proposed purchase price per security, as applicable. Such notice shall also be accompanied by any written offer from a prospective purchaser to purchase such Preemptive Securities.

(d) At any time during the 25-Business Day period following the receipt of an Issuance Notice, each Preemptive Person shall have the right to elect irrevocably (except as provided in the proviso to this sentence) to purchase its Pro Rata Preemptive Portion of the number of Preemptive Security Purchase Securities, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice and upon the other terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice by delivering a written notice to the Company, provided that if there is a material change in the terms of the Preemptive Securities, the Company shall give written notice of such change as promptly as practicable to the Preemptive Persons, in which case any Preemptive Person may revoke any such election made by such Preemptive Person by delivering a written notice to the Company. Except as provided in Section 4.1(c), such purchase shall be consummated concurrently with the consummation of the issuance or sale described in the Issuance Notice.

 

- 33 -

(e) If any Preemptive Person fails to exercise fully its right to purchase its Pro Rata Preemptive Portion of all or any part of Preemptive Securities within the periods described above, the Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of the Preemptive Securities described in the Issuance Notice (including by selling such Preemptive Securities to Harbinger or Pinnacle) with respect to which the Preemptive Persons failed to exercise the right set forth in this Section 4.1 on terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the number of securities to be issued or sold may be reduced); provided that (i) such issuance or sale is closed within 90 days after the date the related Issuance Notice was given, and (ii) the price and other material terms at which the Preemptive Securities are issued or sold must be equal to or higher than the purchase price and on terms no less favorable than the material terms described in the Issuance Notice. In the event that the Company has not sold such Preemptive Securities within such 90-day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Preemptive Securities, without first again offering such securities to Harbinger and Pinnacle in the manner provided in this Section 4.1.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, any exercise of the Majority Party’s preemptive rights may be subject to the Minority Party’s consent rights as and solely to the extent applicable under Section 6.2.

(g) In addition to the preemptive rights set forth in this Article 4, the Company agrees to negotiate in good faith with Harbinger and Pinnacle to grant Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) separately the right to purchase up to its Pro Rata Preemptive Portion (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) of all or any part of an issuance of securities of a Subsidiary that is not, or would not be immediately following the proposed issuance, wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by the Company that such non-wholly owned Subsidiary from time to time after the date hereof proposes to issue, or to grant an option or other right for the purchase or subscription therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall not be any preemptive rights granted to Harbinger and/or Pinnacle (or their respective Entity Affiliates) with respect to any securities issued at any time by a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, except for issuances of securities as a result of which such Subsidiary would cease to be so wholly-owned.

Section 4.2 Waiver of Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, either Harbinger or Pinnacle may waive its rights with respect to any particular offer or right given under this Article 4 by notice in writing to the Company and the other party to this Agreement.

i) the product of:

A) a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the total number of Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis then held by Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates immediately prior to such Corresponding Issuance, and the denominator of which is equal to the total number of Common Shares held by Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) outstanding on such date immediately prior to such Corresponding Issuance on a Fully Diluted Basis, expressed as a percentage; multiplied by:

 

- 43 -

B) the number of Financing Securities initially acquired by Harbinger or its Entity Affiliates from the Company as part of the Corresponding Issuance;

minus

ii) the number of Financing Securities initially acquired by Pinnacle or its Entity Affiliates from the Company as part of the Corresponding Issuance;

multiplied by

iii) the Sliding Look Back Portion, if and as applicable.

(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pinnacle’s (together with its Entity Affiliates’) ability to exercise its rights under this Section 6.2(b)(ii)(B) shall:

a) terminate, with respect to any Financing Securities, upon a bona fide sale by Harbinger to an unaffiliated third party of such Financing Securities not in contravention of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

b) terminate at the earlier of such time when (I) Pinnacle owns, together with its Entity Affiliates, 40% or more of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company collectively held by Harbinger and Pinnacle (together with their respective Entity Affiliates) at any such time of determination, or (II) Harbinger, together with its Entity Affiliates, no longer (x) has the right, either individually or collectively with Pinnacle in accordance with the terms of Article 2, to appoint at least half of the directors to the Board (and does not have nominees then serving on the Board that represent at least 50% of all directors then serving on the Board), and (y) owns at least 50% of the voting power of the voting capital stock of the Company.

(5) The parties shall consummate such purchase by Pinnacle and sale by Harbinger, and shall cause their respective Entity Affiliates to consummate such purchase and sale if applicable, within 15 Business Days of the giving of such written notice of exercise by Pinnacle to Harbinger.

(6) The right of Pinnacle (together with its Entity Affiliates) to purchase Financing Securities pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(ii)(B) shall include the right of Pinnacle to acquire from Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates, at the time of its purchase of Financing Securities in the Corresponding Issuance, at a purchase price and on the timing set forth below, all Securities received by Harbinger and its Affiliates in respect thereof or accrued in respect of such Financing Securities as dividends (including without limitation accrued but undeclared dividends), interest or other payments or distributions since the time Harbinger and/or its Entity Affiliates acquired such Financing Securities in the Corresponding Issuance (“PIK Securities”).

 

- 44 -

(7) Pinnacle shall pay the consideration for PIK Securities by issuing one or more promissory notes to Harbinger:

Harbinger represents and warrants that as of the date of this Agreement, Harbinger and each of its Entity Affiliates are in compliance with their respective obligations under the BIDV Facility and have not taken any actions that could result in a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default under and as defined in the BIDV Facility.

(b) Back-Stop Loan Agreement. Harbinger shall not permit any amendment or modification to the Back-Stop Loan Agreement and the documents evidencing or otherwise securing same without first obtaining Pinnacle’s express written consent determined in Pinnacle’s sole discretion if such amendment or modification seeks to (i) decrease the amount available for borrowing thereunder including for greater certainty any change in the definitions of ACDL Additional Financing or HTPCL Additional Financing, (ii) increase the interest payable for borrowings thereunder, shorten the term of the loans available thereunder, or (iii) increase the collateral provided as security therefor; otherwise, such consent may not be unreasonably denied or delayed. Any request for Pinnacle’s consent to an amendment or modification shall, to be effective, be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation of the proposed amendment or modification and the underlying reasons therefor or purpose, and provide Pinnacle with all appropriate documents that may be necessary to properly evaluate the propriety of the proposed amendment, together with a draft effecting same.

(c) Confirmation of Pinnacle’s Rights. Harbinger and Pinnacle (but not the Company) agree as follows:

(i) in the event that (A) an Additional Equity Event has occurred, (B) top-up adjustments in favour of Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates under Section 3.7 of the 2011 Harbinger Subscription Agreement and in favour of Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates under Section 3.6 of the Pinnacle Subscription Agreement in respect of such Additional Equity Event, if any, have been completed (the “Top-Up Adjustments”), (C) after the completion of the Top-Up Adjustments, if any, Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates do not own a number of Common Shares equal to the Target Percentage (as defined in the Pinnacle Subscription Agreement on the assumption that Additional Equity Event has the meaning specified in this Agreement and the time for determination of the Target Percentage is immediately prior to the Additional Equity Event), and (D) Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates have Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights in connection with such Additional Equity Event and such Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights have resulted in an equity issuance or adjustment in favour of Harbinger and/or its Entity Affiliates (a “Harbinger Equity Adjustment”), then Harbinger, on behalf of itself and its Entity Affiliates, shall take all necessary action to cause Common Shares held by Harbinger and/or its Entity Affiliates to be transferred promptly to Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates, such that following the Additional Equity Event, the Harbinger Equity Adjustment and such transfer of Common Shares, Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates own a number of Common Shares as is equal to the Target Percentage (defined as indicated above); and

 

- 50 -

(ii) in the event that (A) no Additional Equity Event has occurred and therefore paragraph (c)(i) above does not apply and (B) Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates have Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights and such Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights have resulted in an equity issuance or adjustment in favour of Harbinger and/or its Entity Affiliates (a “Non-Claim Adjustment”), then Harbinger, on behalf of itself and its Entity Affiliates, shall take all necessary action to cause Common Shares held by Harbinger and/or its Entity Affiliates to be transferred promptly to Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates, such that following the Non-Claim Adjustment and such transfer of Common Shares, Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates own a number of Common Shares as is equal to the Target Percentage (as defined in the Pinnacle Subscription Agreement on the assumption that the time for determination of the Target Percentage is immediately prior to the event that gives rise to such Non-Claim Adjustment).

(iii) In the event of the transfer by Harbinger or its Entity Affiliates of all or any portion of the Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights, the transferee shall as a condition to the completion of such transfer assume the obligations of Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates hereunder related to the Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights so acquired. Such assumption of such obligations shall be in writing in a form reasonably satisfactory to Pinnacle. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of a transferor to ensure that a transferee of Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights to assume the obligations hereunder related to the Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights so acquired shall apply to successive transfers of Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights and to subsequent transferors and transferees thereof.

(d) Confirmation For purposes of clarity, the foregoing provisions of Section 6.4(c) are not intended to duplicate the rights of Pinnacle under Section 3.6 of the Pinnacle Subscription Agreement, or any other equity adjustment rights in favour of Pinnacle, and the provisions of such section shall be applied and construed accordingly. The parties acknowledge that nothing contained in Section 6.4(c) shall derogate from or limit the rights of Pinnacle and its Entity Affiliates under Section 3.6 of the Pinnacle Subscription Agreement, nor shall anything contained in Section 6.4(c) derogate from or limit the rights of Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates under Section 3.7 of the 2011 Harbinger Subscription Agreement.

(e) Zero Consideration Issuance Protection Rights. Harbinger, on behalf of itself and its Entity Affiliates, agrees that any Harbinger Zero Consideration Rights shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO, unless and to the extent that Harbinger and Pinnacle mutually agree in writing that such rights should not be terminated upon the consummation thereof. Harbinger, on behalf of itself and its Entity Affiliates, further agrees that the issuance or exercise of the Pinnacle Option is not a zero consideration issuance and shall not give rise to any anti-dilution adjustment, zero consideration adjustment or other similar anti-dilution or zero consideration equity adjustment or equity issuance rights in favor of Harbinger or any of its Entity Affiliates.

(f) AAC to Become Party to this Agreement. Concurrently with the closing of the SPAC SPA, Harbinger agrees to cause AAC to execute and deliver a joinder or similar agreement pursuant to which AAC agrees to be included in the definition of Harbinger and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as if it were Harbinger.

 

- 51 -

(g) Closing of SPAC SPA not a Public Offering of the Company. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Closing of the SPAC SPA shall not be considered to be a Qualified IPO or a Liquidity Event for purposes of this Agreement.

(h) Harbinger to Maintain Control of AAC. For a period of twenty four (24) months from the date hereof, Harbinger shall cause Harbinger Representatives to constitute a majority of the board of directors of AAC at all times. “Harbinger Representatives” means Harbinger employees or persons who would not be considered “independent” of Harbinger pursuant to the independence standards of New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A.02. In addition to any other remedies available to the Company and Pinnacle hereunder, if Harbinger or any of its Entity Affiliates fails to comply with this covenant for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates (including AAC) agree that (i) they shall not have the right to nominate any directors of the Company, (ii) they shall vote their shares as directed by Pinnacle in any election of directors of the Company, (iii) they shall cause all Harbinger Directors (other than the Independent Directors) to resign from the Board immediately upon the termination of such sixty (60) day period and (iv) Pinnacle shall be empowered to call a special meeting of the shareholders of the Company and Harbinger and its Entity Affiliates (including AAC) shall be required to attend such meeting and vote their shares and take all actions as necessary to effectuate the foregoing.

(i) Taxes. In the event that an advance of funds by or on behalf of the Company to HTPCL, including without limitation by way of loan, equity contribution or charter capital contribution, gives rise for Canadian income tax purposes to a deemed dividend in favour of any of Harbinger, Pinnacle or any Entity Affiliate of such parties (each an “Affected Tax Party”) (as determined by the relevant Affected Tax Party, acting reasonably), whether under existing or draft legislation (but in the case of draft legislation only where the draft legislation is intended to retroactively apply to the period of time which includes the date of the advance) (the “Tax Legislation”), the Company shall account for and remit to the appropriate tax authority the entirety of the tax otherwise payable by each Affected Tax Party in respect of such deemed dividend on behalf of the relevant Affected Tax Party. Such remittance shall be made at the later of (i) the date of the Company’s advance of funds to HTPCL and (ii) in the case of draft legislation, within 10 Business Days of finalization of such legislation, and evidence of payment of such withholding tax shall be provided to the relevant Affected Tax Party. The Company’s obligation to pay withholding tax pursuant hereto shall not extend to advances made by the Company to HTPCL from the US $60,000,000 subscription funds paid to the Company for Class VI Shares pursuant to the 2012 Subscription Agreement or any Replacement Funding which replaces any portion of the said US $60,000,000. Each of the parties hereto shall use reasonable commercial efforts to exclude themselves and their Entity Affiliates from the operation of the provisions of the Tax Legislation which imposes any such deemed dividend, including by filing elections as required to reduce or avoid the said deemed dividend, but excluding any requirement on the part of a party or its Entity Affiliates to reorganize its corporate structure or transfer its securities of the Company. In the event that the remittance is made and ultimately refunded to any Affected Tax Party, in whole or in part, any such refunded amount shall be held in trust by the Affected Tax Party for the benefit of the Company and returned to the Company forthwith.

A party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right.

(a) The Company shall not assign this Agreement or its interest herein or any part hereof except with the prior written consent of the Majority Party and the Minority Party. Harbinger and Pinnacle shall not assign this Agreement except in the manner expressly contemplated herein.

  (b) Harbinger will own 70 Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis.

 

  (c) Pinnacle will own 26 Common Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis.

-4-

Notwithstanding any adjustments provided for in Section 11 hereof or otherwise, the Company shall not be required upon the exercise of any Warrants, to issue fractional Common Shares in satisfaction of its obligations hereunder. Where a fractional Common Share would, but for this Section 7, have been issued upon exercise of a Warrant, in lieu thereof, there shall be paid to the Holder an amount equal (rounded to the nearest $0.01) to the product obtained by multiplying such fractional share interest by the Current Market Price of a Common Share at the date of due exercise of this Warrant, which payment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of such due exercise.

Nothing in this certificate or in the holding of the Warrants evidenced hereby, on its own, shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder any right or interest whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

9. No Obligation to Purchase

Nothing herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate the Holder to purchase or pay for, or the Company to issue, any shares except those Common Shares in respect of which the Holder shall have exercised its right to purchase hereunder in the manner provided herein.

10. Covenants

 

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that:

 

  (i) so long as any Warrants evidenced hereby remain outstanding, it shall reserve and there shall remain unissued out of its authorized capital a sufficient number of Common Shares to satisfy the right of purchase herein provided for should the Holder determine to exercise its rights in respect of all the Common Shares for the time being called for by such outstanding Warrants; and

 

  (ii) all Common Shares which shall be issued upon the exercise of the right to purchase herein provided for, upon payment therefor of the amount at which such Common Shares may at the time be purchased pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall be issued as fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares and the holders thereof shall not be liable to the Company or to its creditors in respect thereof.

11. Adjustment

If, at any time:

 

-5-

(a) the Corporation

 

  (i) subdivides (or redivides or changes) (A) the Common Shares or Common Special Shares into a greater number of shares, or (B) securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares into a greater number of shares or into securities exchangeable or convertible into a greater number of shares (other than any subdivision, redivision or change which is effected as a result of an automatic adjustment mechanism under such securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares); or

 

  (ii) consolidates (or reduces or combines) (A) the Common Shares or Common Special Shares into a lesser number of shares, or (B) securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares into a lesser number of shares or into securities exchangeable or convertible into a lesser number of shares (other than any consolidation, reduction or combination which is effected as a result of an automatic adjustment mechanism under such securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares); or

 

  (iii) issues Common Shares or Common Special Shares, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares, to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares or Common Special Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, or

 

  (iv) issues Common Shares or Common Special Shares for no additional consideration to any one or more holders of Common Shares or Common Special Shares, respectively,

the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to equal the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price most recently in effect prior to such event by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares and Common Special Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares and Common Special Shares outstanding immediately after such event (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares or Common Special Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares or Common Special Shares, as applicable, immediately after such event). Upon any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 11(a), the number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of Common Shares which were theretofore issuable on the exercise of this Warrant by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total number of Common Shares and Common Special Shares outstanding immediately after such event (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares or Common Special Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares or Common Special Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares or Common Special Shares, as applicable, immediately after such event) and the denominator shall be the total number of Common Shares and Common Special Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event ; or

 

-6-

(b) there is a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with or into another body corporate including a transaction whereby all or substantially all of the Company’s undertaking and assets become the property of any other corporation (any such event being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), the Holder, upon exercising this Warrant after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, will be entitled to receive in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property which the Holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Holder was theretofore entitled upon exercise of this Warrant. If determined appropriate by action of the directors of the Company, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Section 11 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 11 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof. Any such adjustment must be made by and set forth in an amendment to this Warrant approved by the Holder and the Company and will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

12. Rules Regarding Calculation of Adjustment

 

(a) No adjustment will be made in respect of any event described in Section 11 if the Holder is entitled to participate in the Capital Reorganization on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Holder had exercised this Warrant prior to or on the effective date or record date of such event.

 

(b) If at any time a dispute arises with respect to adjustments provided for in Section 11, such dispute will be conclusively determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by action by the Holder and the Company and any such determination, where required, will be binding upon the Company, the Holder and shareholders of the Company. The Company will provide such auditors or accountants with access to all necessary records of the Company.

 

(c) In case the Company after the date of issuance of this Warrant takes any action affecting the Common Shares or the Common Special Shares, as applicable, other than action described in Section 11, which in the opinion of the board of directors of the Company would materially affect the rights of the Holder, the number of Common Shares to which the Holder will be entitled hereunder and the number of additional Common Shares which forms the basis of contingent entitlement hereunder, will be adjusted in an equitable manner as agreed to by the Holder and the Company, both acting reasonably.

 

-7-

(d) As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require any adjustment to this Warrant, the Company must take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company have unissued and reserved in its authorized capital and may validly and legally issue as fully paid and non-assessable all the shares or other securities which the Holder is entitled to receive on the full exercise thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

(e) The Company will from time to time, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in Section 11, forthwith give notice to the Holder specifying the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the results thereof.

 

(f) The Company covenants to and in favour of the Holder that so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, it will give notice to the Holder of its intention to fix a record date for any event referred to in Section 11 which may give rise to an adjustment, and, in each case, such notice must specify the particulars of such event and the record date and the effective date for such event; provided that the Company is only required to specify in such notice such particulars of such event as have been fixed and determined on the date on which such notice is given. Such notice shall be given not less than 10 Business Days prior to each such applicable record date or effective date.

13. Consolidation and Amalgamation

 

(a) The Company shall not enter into any transaction whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any other corporation (herein called a “successor corporation”) whether by way of reorganization, reconstruction, consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer, sale, disposition or otherwise, including without limitation a Capital Reorganization, unless prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction the Company and the successor corporation shall have executed such instruments and done such things as, in the opinion of counsel to the Holder, are necessary or advisable to establish that upon the consummation of such transaction:

 

  (i) the successor corporation will have assumed all the covenants and obligations of the Company under this Warrant;

 

  (ii) the Warrant will be a valid and binding obligation of the successor corporation entitling the Holder, as against the successor corporation, to all the rights of the Holder under this Warrant; and
