(a) Organization and Qualification. Each of the Purchaser and Acquireco is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation. Each of the Purchaser and Acquireco is duly qualified to carry on business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its assets and properties, owned, leased, licensed or otherwise held, or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, impair in any material respect the ability of the Purchaser and Acquireco to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Arrangement and pay the aggregate Consideration, or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Arrangement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Authority Relative to this Agreement. Each of the Purchaser and Acquireco has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the agreements and other documents to be entered into it hereunder and, subject to the Final Order, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and Acquireco and the consummation by the Purchaser and Acquireco of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Arrangement and the Debt Financing) and the agreements and other documents to be entered into by it hereunder and thereunder have been duly authorized by the board of directors of the Purchaser and Acquireco and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Purchaser or Acquireco are necessary to authorize this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and Acquireco and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of the Purchaser and Acquireco, enforceable by eOne against each of the Purchaser and Acquireco in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other applicable Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to the qualification that equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) No Conflict; Required Filings and Consent. The execution and delivery by the Purchaser and Acquireco of this Agreement and the performance by it of its obligations hereunder and the completion of the Arrangement do not and will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the constating documents of the Purchaser or Acquireco.

Purchaser or Acquireco or any of their Subsidiaries for the consummation by the Purchaser or Acquireco of their obligations in connection with the Arrangement under this Agreement or for the completion of the Arrangement, except for such Authorizations, consents, approvals and filings as to which the failure to obtain or make would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Ownership of Acquireco. The Purchaser is the registered and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding securities of Acquireco.

(e) Available Funds. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions to the Arrangement as set out in this Agreement, the Purchaser and Acquireco will have at the Effective Time sufficient funds available to consummate the Arrangement and pay the aggregate Consideration and other amounts required to be paid pursuant hereto on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Plan of Arrangement, and to satisfy all other obligations payable at the Effective Time by the Purchaser and Acquireco pursuant to this Agreement and the Arrangement.

(iv) There are no conditions precedent or contingencies to the obligations of the parties under the Debt Commitment Letter (including pursuant to any “flex” provisions in the related fee letter or otherwise) to make the full amount of the Debt Financing available to the Purchaser on the terms therein except as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. As of the date hereof, there are no side letters or other contracts to which the Purchaser, Acquireco or any of their respective affiliates is a party, which expand the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing.

(g) Litigation. There is no claim, action, inquiry, suit, hearing, arbitration, investigation or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened against or relating to the Purchaser or Acquireco or affecting any of their respective properties or assets before any Governmental Entity, nor is the Purchaser or Acquireco subject to any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) None of the Purchaser, Acquireco or any of their respective affiliates shall agree to any amendments or modifications to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision under the Debt Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of eOne to the extent such amendments, modifications or waivers would reasonably be expected to (A) reduce the aggregate amount of cash proceeds available from the Debt Financing to fund the amounts required to be paid by the Purchaser and Acquireco pursuant to this Agreement below the amount required, together with the Purchaser’s cash on hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Arrangement (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount) (B) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner reasonably likely to prevent or delay or impair the ability of

-62-

each of the Purchaser or Acquireco to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (C) amend or modify any other term in a manner reasonably likely to prevent or delay or impair the ability of each of the Purchaser or Acquireco to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Arrangement, or adversely impact the ability of the Purchaser or Acquireco to enforce their rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall give eOne prompt (and in any event within two business days) written notice (x) of any actual or alleged breach or default (or any event that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letter or Debt Financing Agreements or any Existing Credit Agreement Event of Default, (y) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication with respect to any actual or alleged breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Debt Financing or any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Debt Financing or of any Existing Credit Agreement Event of Default or (z) if the Purchaser or Acquireco determine in good faith that they will not be able to satisfy any of the obligations to, or otherwise be able to obtain, some or any portion of the Debt Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “market flex” provisions) or Debt Financing Agreements prior to the Outside Date. Upon the occurrence of any circumstance referred to in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the preceding sentence or if any portion of the Debt Financing otherwise becomes unavailable, and such portion is reasonably required to fund the aggregate Consideration and all fees, expenses and other amounts contemplated to be paid by the Purchaser or Acquireco pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser and Acquireco shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Arrangement), with conditions precedent to funding not less favorable to the Purchaser (in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser) than the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the flex provisions thereof). Additionally, the Debt Commitment Letter contemplates that the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries may obtain alternative financing which would reduce the commitments of the Debt Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter. Any reference in this Agreement to (1) the Debt Financing shall include any such alternative financing, (2) the Debt Commitment Letter shall include the commitment letter and the corresponding fee letter with respect to any such alternative financing, (3) the Debt Financing Agreements shall include the definitive agreements with respect to any such alternative financing and (4) the Financing Sources shall include the financing institutions contemplated to provide any such alternative financing.

-63-

request, any information requested by eOne relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (x), (y) or (z) of Section 5.7(b) or otherwise relating to the status of any alternative financing or negotiations or documentation in connection therewith.

(d) The Purchaser and Acquireco acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of the Debt Financing, or any alternative financing, is not a condition to the obligations of the Purchaser or Acquireco and reaffirm their obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Debt Financing or any alternative financing, subject only to fulfillment or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6.

(c) following written request therefor, providing information concerning eOne and its Subsidiaries reasonably necessary for the Financing Sources’ customary due diligence and preparation and completion of the definitive documents governing or relating to the Financing (including any schedules, customary certificates, annexes or exhibits thereto and other pertinent and customary information and authorization

provided that: (A) such requested co-operation is made on reasonable notice and does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of eOne; (B) such requested co-operation shall not impede, delay or prevent the receipt of any Regulatory Approvals or the satisfaction of any other conditions set forth in Article 6; (C) such requested co-operation shall not impede, delay or prevent the consummation of the Arrangement; (D) such requested co-operation is not, in the opinion of eOne or eOne’s counsel, prejudicial to the Shareholders, eOne or any of eOne’s Subsidiaries; (E) such requested co-operation shall not require eOne to obtain the approval of the Shareholders and shall not require the Purchaser to obtain the approval of its shareholders; (F) the Purchaser shall pay all of the cooperation costs and all direct or indirect costs and liabilities, fees, damages, penalties and Taxes that may be incurred as a consequence of such requested cooperation or Financing, including actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses for external counsel and auditors which may be incurred, provided that neither eOne nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required by the Purchaser to pay any commitment, consent or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with any such financing prior to the Effective Time; (G) such requested cooperation does not require the directors, officers, employees or agents of eOne or its Subsidiaries to take any action in any capacity other than as a director, officer or employee or agent; (H) eOne shall not be

-65-

required to provide, or cause any of its Subsidiaries to provide, cooperation that involves any binding commitment by eOne or its Subsidiaries, which commitment is not conditional on the completion of the Arrangement and does not terminate without liability to eOne or its Subsidiaries upon the termination of this Agreement; (I) no such requested cooperation or financing shall be considered to constitute a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants of eOne under this Agreement or be capable of impairing or preventing the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6; (J) nothing in this Agreement shall require any such co-operation to the extent it would result in any officer or director of eOne or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability with respect to any matters relating to the Financing; (K) neither eOne nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to incur any liability that is not contingent upon the closing of the Arrangement or, without limitation of the foregoing, execute any definitive financing documents prior to closing of the Arrangement or any other agreement, certificate, document or instrument that would be effective prior to the closing of the Arrangement; and (L) none of the Board or any of the boards of directors (or equivalent bodies) of eOne’s subsidiaries shall be required to pass any resolutions or take similar action approving the Financing on or before the Effective Date.

(iii) make a Change in Recommendation;

(iv) accept, approve, endorse, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, or propose publicly to accept, approve, endorse, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that publicly taking no position or a neutral position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal for a period of no more than five business days following the public announcement of such Acquisition Proposal will not be considered to be in violation of this Section 7.1(a)(iv) provided the Board has rejected such Acquisition Proposal and affirmed the Board Recommendation by press release before the end of such five business day period (or in the event that the Meeting is scheduled to occur within such five business day period, prior to the third business day prior to the date of the Meeting) and further provided that eOne shall provide Purchaser and its outside legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such

-70-

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.1(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, if eOne receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to the Shareholder Approval having been obtained, eOne may (1) make a Change in Recommendation in respect of such Superior Proposal; or (2) enter into any Proposed Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if, prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation and/or entering into such Proposed Agreement:

(i) eOne has complied in all material respects with Section 7.1;

(ii) eOne has provided the Purchaser with a notice in writing (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, together with a copy of any Proposed Agreement or Acquisition Proposal relating to such Superior Proposal and a reasonably detailed description of the value and financial terms that the Board, in consultation with its financial advisors, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Acquisition Proposal, and of the intention of the Board to enter into such Proposed Agreement or make a Change in Recommendation;

(iii) five business days shall have elapsed from the date the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and documentation referred to in Section 7.1(e)(ii) from eOne (the “Matching Period”);

-71-

(iv) during the Matching Period, the Purchaser has been provided with the opportunity to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in accordance with Section 7.1(f);

(v) after the Matching Period, the Board (A) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (if applicable, compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the this Agreement and the Arrangement by the Purchaser under Section 7.1(f)) and (B) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure by the Board to make a Change in Recommendation or to cause eOne to terminate this Agreement to enter into the Proposed Agreement, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties;

(vi) in the case of eOne exercising its rights under clause (2) of this Section 7.1(e), (A) eOne concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv)(B), and (B) prior to entering into the Proposed Agreement, eOne has paid to the Purchaser the Termination Payment.

(f) eOne acknowledges and agrees that, during the Matching Period or such longer period as eOne may approve for such purpose, the Purchaser shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of this Agreement, the Arrangement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and eOne shall co-operate with the Purchaser with respect thereto, including negotiating in good faith with the Purchaser to enable the Purchaser to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Arrangement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as the Purchaser deems appropriate and as would enable the Purchaser to proceed with the Arrangement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other similar transactions involving eOne and its Subsidiaries and any related transactions on such adjusted terms. The Board will review any proposal by the Purchaser to amend the terms of this Agreement or the Arrangement and any other information provided by Purchaser in connection with any such proposal in order to determine, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and consistent with Section 7.1(e), whether the Purchaser’s proposal to amend this Agreement, the Arrangement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would, if accepted by eOne, result in the Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement.

(g) The Board shall promptly (and in any event within two business days) reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement by press release after: (i) any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced; or (ii) the Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement would result in an Acquisition Proposal which has been publicly announced no longer being a Superior Proposal, and eOne and the Purchaser have so amended the terms of the Arrangement. The Purchaser and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of

-72-

any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by eOne, acting reasonably.

(h) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Board from: (i) responding through a directors’ circular or equivalent document as required by applicable Securities Laws to an Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) making any disclosure to the securityholders of eOne if the Board, acting in good faith and after consultation with its outside legal advisors, shall have first determined that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board, provided, however, in each case that, notwithstanding that the Board shall be permitted to make such disclosure, the Board shall not be permitted to make a Change in Recommendation, other than as permitted by Section 7.1(e).

(i) eOne acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal that results in any amendment or modification of the financial terms or conditions or other material terms and conditions, including any modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by Shareholders shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 7.1.

(j) eOne shall ensure that the officers, directors and employees of eOne and its Subsidiaries and any investment bankers, advisors or other Representatives retained by eOne and/or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are aware of the provisions of this Section, and eOne shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 7.1 by such officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, advisors or other Representatives.

(k) If eOne provides the Purchaser with a Superior Proposal Notice on a date that is less than 10 business days prior to the Meeting, eOne shall be permitted to, and shall if requested by the Purchaser, adjourn or postpone the Meeting to a date that is not less than seven business days and not more than 10 business days after the date of such notice, provided, however, that the Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date later than the seventh business day prior to the Outside Date.

7.2 Access to Information; Confidentiality

From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, subject to compliance with applicable Law and the terms of any existing Contracts, eOne shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to afford to the Purchaser and to representatives of the Purchaser such access as the Purchaser may reasonably require at all reasonable times, including for the purpose of facilitating integration business planning, to their officers, employees, agents, properties, books, records and contracts, and shall furnish the Purchaser with all data and information as the Purchaser may reasonably request. The Purchaser and eOne acknowledge and agree that information furnished pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

-73-

7.3 Notices of Certain Events

(a) Each Party will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Effective Time of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:

(i) cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or at the Effective Time (provided that this clause (i) shall not apply in the case of any event or state of facts resulting from the actions or omissions of a Party which are required under this Agreement); or

(ii) result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party hereunder prior to the Effective Time,

provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Party receiving that notice.

(b) No Party may elect not to complete the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the conditions set forth herein or any termination right arising therefrom under Section 8.2(a)(iii)(B) or Section 8.2(a)(iv)(A) unless, prior to the Effective Date, the Party intending to rely thereon has delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfilment or the applicable condition or termination right, as the case may be.

Each Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Section 8.3 are payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages, which the Party entitled to such damages will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, each Party agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Purchaser is entitled to a Termination Payment and such Termination Payment is paid in full, the Purchaser and Acquireco shall be precluded from any other remedy against eOne at Law or in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, an order for specific performance), and shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against eOne or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or affiliates or their respective representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, provided, however, that payment by eOne of a Termination Payment shall not be in lieu of any damages or any other payment or remedy available in the event of any wilful or intentional breach by eOne of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.4 Amendment

Subject in each case to the provisions of the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and applicable Laws:

(a) this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the Meeting but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties, without further notice to or Authorization on the part of the Shareholders, and any such amendment may without limitation:

This Agreement shall be governed, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the Laws of the Province of Ontario and the Laws of Canada applicable therein, except that any claim, action, proceeding or investigation against any Designated Financing Sources (in its or their capacity as such) that is related to this Agreement or the Arrangement shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the law of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably attorns and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario in respect of all matters arising under and in relation to this Agreement and the Arrangement; provided that the Parties, with respect to any claim, action, proceeding or investigation against any Designated Financing Source that is related to this Agreement or the Arrangement irrevocably submit exclusively to the jurisdiction of the courts of any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York (or, only if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, in any New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York).

9.4 Injunctive Relief

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by a Party, the non-breaching Party will be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, and the Parties shall not object to the granting of injunctive or other equitable relief on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at Law. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at Law or equity to each of the Parties.

9.5 Time of Essence

Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

9.6 Entire Agreement, Binding Effect and Assignment

This Agreement, the Disclosure Letter, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Except as expressly provided herein (including in the proviso to this sentence), this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, that the provisions of Section 8.2, Section 8.4, Section 9.3 and this Section 9.6 that are applicable to any Designated Financing Source are intended to benefit and be enforceable by such Designated Financing Source. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties, provided that the rights, interests or obligations of Aquireco (or any permitted assignee thereof) may be assigned to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Purchaser if such assignee delivers an instrument in writing confirming that it is bound by and shall perform all of the obligations of the assigning party under this Agreement as if it were an original signatory.

9.8 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

9.9 Counterparts, Execution

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

- 9 -

		(i)	are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their Common Shares, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Part XV of the CBCA, shall be determined as of the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted, shall have transferred their Common Shares to Acquireco at the time specified in Section 3.1(e) and shall be paid such fair value by Acquireco in accordance with Section 3.1(e); and

	(a)	Following receipt of the Final Order, and immediately prior to the filing by eOne of the Articles of Arrangement, the Purchaser or Acquireco shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Depositary sufficient funds to satisfy (i) on behalf of Acquireco, the aggregate Consideration payable to Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.1(f), and (ii) the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.1(a), which amounts shall be held by the Depositary in escrow as agent and nominee for such former Shareholders or former Award Holders, as the case may be, for distribution in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.
	(b)	Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Common Shares that were exchanged for cash, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary

- 10 -

		may reasonably require, the Shareholder of such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Purchaser and Acquireco shall cause the Depositary to deliver to such Shareholder, on behalf of Acquireco, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the cash which such Shareholder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Common Shares, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.3 and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. The cash deposited with the Depositary shall be held in an interest-bearing account, and any interest earned on such funds shall be for the account of Acquireco.
	(c)	Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 5.1, each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Common Shares shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a cash payment in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in this Section 5.1, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.3. Any such certificate formerly representing Common Shares not duly surrendered on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any Former Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in eOne, Acquireco or the Purchaser. On the second anniversary of the Effective Date, all cash to which such Former Shareholder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to Acquireco.
	(d)	On the Effective Date, the Purchaser and Acquireco will direct the Depositary to transfer to eOne the aggregate amount payable to Award Holders in accordance with Section 3.1 (such amount to be held in escrow by eOne as agent and nominee for such holders until payments pursuant to Section 3.1 and this Section 5.1(d) are made to such Award Holders). On the Effective Date, eOne shall pay or cause to be paid out of such escrowed amount the amounts, net of applicable withholdings, to be paid to Award Holders on behalf of eOne pursuant to Section 3.1, either (i) pursuant to the normal payroll practices and procedures of eOne, or (ii) by cheque or similar means (delivered to such Award Holder, as reflected on the register maintained by or on behalf of eOne in respect of the International XXXX Options, Elected UK XXXX Options, Stock Options or Conditional Awards).
	(e)	From and after the Effective Time until the UK XXXX Option Expiry Time, upon the exercise of any UK XXXX Option (other than Elected UK XXXX Options), the UK XXXX Option Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid, net of applicable withholdings, the amounts to be paid to such holder pursuant to 3.1(h)(ii), either (i) pursuant to the normal payroll practices and procedures of eOne, or (ii) by cheque or similar means (delivered to such holder, as reflected on the register maintained by or on behalf of eOne in respect of the UK XXXX Options).
	(f)	Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary on behalf of Acquireco, eOne or the UK XXXX Option Purchaser that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the second anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the consideration for Common Shares, Stock Options,

- 11 -

Conditional Awards, International XXXX Options or UK XXXX Options, pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to Acquireco, eOne or the UK XXXX Option Purchaser, as applicable, for no consideration.

5.2 Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Common Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, cash deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such cash is to be delivered shall as a condition precedent to the delivery of such cash, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary in such sum as the Purchaser may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser, Acquireco and eOne in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser, Acquireco and eOne, against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser, Acquireco and eOne with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

5.3 Withholding Rights

eOne, Acquireco, the Purchaser and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Shareholder or holder of International XXXX Options, UK XXXX Options, Stock Options or Conditional Awards such amounts as eOne, Acquireco, the Purchaser or the Depositary determines, acting reasonably, are required or permitted to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act or any provision of federal, provincial, territorial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Shareholder or holder of Conditional Awards, Stock Options, International XXXX Options or UK XXXX Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

5.4 Paramountcy

From and after the Effective Time: (a) this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all Common Shares, Conditional Awards, International XXXX Options, UK XXXX Options and Stock Options issued or outstanding prior to the Effective Time, (b) the rights and obligations of the Shareholders, the Award Holders, holders of UK XXXX Options, eOne, the Purchaser, Acquireco, the Depositary and any transfer agent or other depositary therefor in relation thereto, shall be solely as provided for in this Plan of Arrangement, and (c) all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to any Common Shares, Conditional Awards, International XXXX Options, UK XXXX Options or Stock Options shall be deemed to have been settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth in this Plan of Arrangement.
