SECTION 6.06 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.

(a) Following the Closing, the organizational documents of the New SPAC shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement of individuals who, at or prior to the Closing, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of SPAC or any Subsidiary of SPAC (“SPAC Indemnified Persons”) than are set forth in the SPAC Organizational Documents, and such provisions shall not thereafter be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Closing in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of the SPAC Indemnified Persons, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. With respect to the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company or the Amalgamated Company, as applicable, and any Company Subsidiaries or any agreement or contract relating to indemnification, advancement or expense reimbursement of individuals who, at or prior to the Closing, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company or such Company Subsidiary (“Company Indemnified Persons”), such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Closing in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of the Company Indemnified Persons, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law. For a period of six (6) years from the Closing, the New SPAC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company, SPAC, AmalCo, and NewCo against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, alleged against such directors or officers in their capacity as such and arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest permitted under applicable Law (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law).

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company may purchase a prepaid “tail” policy or policies in respect of the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) covering those Persons who are currently covered by the Company’s D&O Insurance (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to SPAC or its agents or Representatives) on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall the Company pay a premium for such insurance in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium attributable to the Company for coverage of the Company and the Amalgamated Company under such insurance policy or policies for the most recent policy year (the “Maximum Annual Premium”). If the premium of such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Annual Premium, then the Company may obtain a “tail” policy or policies with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier. The New SPAC shall maintain any such “tail” policy or policies in full force and effect for a period of no less than six (6) years after the Closing and continue to honor its obligations thereunder. From and after the date of this Agreement, NewCo, SPAC and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with respect to any efforts to obtain the insurance described in this Section 6.06(b), including but not limited to providing access to insurance broker presentations, underwriter quotes for such insurance, and draft policies for such insurance.

If the premium of such insurance coverage exceeds the SPAC Maximum Annual Premium, then SPAC may obtain a “tail” policy or policies with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the SPAC Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as SPAC’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier. The New SPAC shall maintain such SPAC Tail Policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six (6) years after the Closing and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(d) Prior to or in connection with the Closing, the Company shall purchase “go-forward” D&O Insurance to cover the post-Closing directors and officers of the New SPAC. From and after the date of this Agreement, NewCo, SPAC, and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with respect to any efforts to obtain the insurance described in this Section 6.06(d), including providing access to insurance broker presentations, underwriter quotes for such insurance, and draft policies for such insurance.

(e) On the Closing Date, the New SPAC shall (i) enter into customary indemnification agreements reasonably satisfactory to each of the Company and the New SPAC with the post-Closing directors and officers of the New SPAC, and (ii) shall assume all rights and obligations of SPAC under all indemnification agreements then in effect between SPAC and any Person who is or was a director or officer of SPAC prior to the SPAC Amalgamation Effective Time and that have either been (a) made available to the Company prior to the date hereof or (b) are entered into after the date hereof in accordance with Section 5.02, which indemnification agreements shall continue to be effective following the Closing.

(f) For a period of six (6) years from the Closing, the New SPAC shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor, its Affiliates, and their respective present and former directors and officers (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (“Indemnified Liabilities”) incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the Transactions and the Sponsor’s ownership of equity securities of SPAC, or its control or ability to influence SPAC, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including the advancing of expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law); provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent arising out of any breach by the Sponsor of the Sponsor Letter or any other agreement between the Sponsor, on the one hand, and the Company or New SPAC or any of their respective Subsidiaries, on the other hand, or (ii) fraud of an Indemnified Party; in each case for the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), solely if such breach or fraud is established by a final, non-appealable judgment.

SECTION 6.07 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to SPAC, and SPAC shall give prompt notice to the Company of any event which a Party becomes aware of between the date of this Agreement and the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII), the occurrence or non-occurrence of which causes or would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to fail.

(b) Each of the Parties shall keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other Parties of any communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and permitting the other Parties to review in advance, and to the extent practicable consult about, any proposed communication by such Party to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No Party to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any meeting, or video or telephone conference, with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting or conference. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Parties shall coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the Parties shall provide each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications, including any documents, information and data contained therewith, between them or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions.

SECTION 9.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, in whole or in part, 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 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 9.04 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede, except as set forth in Section 6.03(b), all prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement. No Party shall assign, grant or otherwise transfer the benefit of the whole or any part of this Agreement or any of the rights hereunder (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of Law or otherwise) to any Person (other than another Party by operation of Law pursuant to the Amalgamations) without the prior express written consent of the other Parties.

104

SECTION 9.05 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than Section 2.10, Section 6.05(d), Section 6.06, Section 6.13, Section 8.03 and Section 9.11 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the Persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such Persons and in the case of Section 6.13 and Section 8.03, the Key Company Shareholders in consideration for entering into the Support Agreements).

SECTION 9.06 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to Contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware, except to the extent mandatorily governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, including the provisions relating to the Arrangement and the Plan of Arrangement (except that the Companies Act shall also apply to the Domestication). All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in a Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any such Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court.

Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in the State of Delaware as described herein for any reason, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) that (A) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such Action is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

SECTION 9.07 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the Parties (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other Parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.07.

105

SECTION 9.08 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.10 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the Parties’ obligation to consummate the Transactions) without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the Parties hereby further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if prior to the Outside Date any Party initiates an Action to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Outside Date shall be automatically extended by: (A) the amount of time during which such Action is pending plus twenty (20) Business Days; or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

SECTION 9.11 No Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether in Contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution, or performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement or the applicable Transaction Document (the “Contracting Parties”) except as set forth in this Section 9.11.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Nonparty Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Contracting Parties or any Nonparty Affiliate shall be responsible or liable for any multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory, exemplary or punitive damages which may be alleged as a result of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement referenced herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, or the termination or abandonment of any of the foregoing, except with respect to willful misconduct or Fraud against the Person who committed such willful misconduct or Fraud, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law.

The holders of the Class B Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends at such times and in such amounts as the directors of the Corporation may in their discretion from time to time declare.

(b)

Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, the holders of the Class B Shares shall not be entitled to receive any of the remaining property of the Corporation legally available for distribution to shareholders.

2.4

Founder Share Conversion, Anti-Dilution Rights and Limitations

(a)

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.4(b), Class B Shares will be automatically converted into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”) at the time of a Business Combination (or immediately following the consummation thereof), subject to adjustment to account for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, or other adjustments to the authorized capital of the Corporation.

(b)

Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the event that additional Class A Shares or equity linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination the issued and outstanding Class B Shares will automatically be converted into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to, on an as-converted basis, twenty percent (20%) of the sum of:

(i)

the total number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares in issue at the time of the IPO (including pursuant to any Over-Allotment Option); plus

(ii)

the total number of Class A Shares issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, by the Corporation in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding (x) any Class A Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and (y) any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, the Investor Group or any members of the Corporation’s management team upon conversion of working capital loans.

The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any securities that are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Shares, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein in no event will the Class B Shares convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

A-6

(d)

References in Sections 2.4(a) to 2.4(e) to “converted”, “conversion” or “exchange” will mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any shareholder and, on behalf of such shareholders, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion will be registered in the name of such shareholder or in such name as the shareholder may direct.

(e)

Each Class B Share will convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares as set forth in this Section 2.4(e). The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share will convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the issued and outstanding Class B Shares will be converted pursuant to Section 2.4(a) and the denominator of which will be the total number of issued and outstanding Class B Shares at the time of conversion.

(f)

The directors may effect such conversion in any manner available under applicable law, including redeeming or repurchasing the relevant Class B Shares and applying the proceeds thereof towards payment for the new Class A Shares. For purposes of the repurchase or redemption, the directors may, subject to the Act and the Corporation being able to pay its debts in the ordinary course of business, make payments out of its capital.

(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the holders of Class B Shares will not be entitled to any: (i) right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Fund, including upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, or (ii) redemption rights (other than a conversion to Class A Shares in exchange for Class B Shares, as described above) in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation, any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer made by the Corporation to purchase Class A Shares in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Articles (A) in a manner that would modify the substance or timing of the Corporation’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Class A Shares included as part of the units issued in the IPO if the Corporation has not completed an initial Business Combination within eighteen (18) months from the closing of the IPO or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A Shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity.

2.5

Founder Share Surrender

Shares held by the Founders shall be surrendered by the Founders on a pro rata basis for no consideration to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised in full so that the Founders will own twenty percent (20%) of the Corporation’s issued shares after the IPO (exclusive of any securities purchased in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO) pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) to 2.4(f).

(ii)

provide shareholders with the opportunity to have their shares repurchased by means of a tender offer for a per-Share repurchase price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Fund, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Corporation to fund Regulatory Withdrawals or to pay taxes if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue, provided that the Corporation will not repurchase Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Corporation’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001.

(c)

If the Corporation initiates any tender offer in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act in connection with a Business Combination, it will file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about such Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act.

(d)

If, alternatively, the Corporation holds a shareholder vote to approve a proposed Business Combination, the Corporation will conduct any compulsory redemption in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act and not pursuant to the tender offer rules and file proxy materials with the SEC.

(e)

At a general meeting called for the purposes of approving a Business Combination pursuant to the Articles:

A-8

(i)

one or more shareholders holding at least one-third of the Shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at that meeting will form a quorum; and

(ii)

subject to the Act, in the event that a majority of the Shares voted (including all of the Shares held by the Founders voted) are voted for the approval of a Business Combination, the Corporation will be authorized to consummate a Business Combination.

(f)

Where such redemptions in connection with an initial Business Combination are not conducted via the tender offer rules pursuant to Section 3.1(b) any shareholder holding Public Shares who is not a Founder, officer or director may, contemporaneously with any vote on a Business Combination, elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash (the “IPO Redemption”), provided that no such shareholder acting together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purposes of acquiring, holding, or disposing of shares may exercise this redemption right with respect to more than twenty percent (20%) of the Public Shares without the prior consent of the directors, and provided further that any holder that holds Public Shares beneficially through a nominee must identify itself to the Corporation in connection with any redemption election in order to validly redeem such Public Shares. In connection with any vote held to approve a proposed Business Combination, holders of Public Shares seeking to exercise their redemption rights will be required to either tender their certificates (if any) to the Corporation’s transfer agent or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s option, in each case up to two (2) business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the proposal to approve a Business Combination. If so demanded, the Corporation will pay any such redeeming shareholder, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business Combination, a per-Share redemption price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Fund calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals or to pay taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue (such redemption price being referred to herein as the “Redemption Price”).

(g)

The Redemption Price will be paid promptly following the consummation of the relevant Business Combination. If the proposed Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason then such redemptions will be cancelled and share certificates (if any) returned to the relevant shareholders as appropriate.

A-9

(h)

In the event that either the Corporation does not consummate a Business Combination by eighteen (18) months after the closing of the IPO, or such later time as the shareholders of the Corporation may approve in accordance with the Articles and By-Laws or a resolution of the Corporation’s shareholders is passed pursuant to the Act to commence the voluntary liquidation of the Corporation prior to the consummation of a Business Combination for any reason, the Corporation will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Fund, including interest earned on the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Corporation to fund Regulatory Withdrawals or to pay taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Corporation’s remaining shareholders and the directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Alberta law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

(i)

If any amendment is made to Section 3.1(h) that would affect the substance or timing of the Corporation’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Corporation has not consummated an initial Business Combination within eighteen (18) months after the date of the closing of the IPO, or any amendment is made with respect to any other provisions of the Articles relating to the rights of holders of Class A Shares or pre-initial business combination activity, each holder of Public Shares who is not a Founder, officer or director will be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval of any such amendment at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Fund, including interest earned on the Trust Fund and not previously released to the Corporation to fund Regulatory Withdrawals or to pay taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue.

(j)

Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes and for Regulatory Withdrawals, if any, none of the funds held in the Trust Fund will be released from the Trust Fund until the earlier of an IPO Redemption pursuant to Section 3.1(f), a repurchase of Shares by means of a tender offer pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii), a distribution of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 3.1(h) or an amendment under Section 3.1(i). In no other circumstance will a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Fund.

(k)

After the issue of Public Shares, and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the directors will not issue additional shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to: (a) receive funds from the Trust Fund; or (b) vote on any Business Combination or any other proposal presented to the shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

A-10

(l)

The Corporation must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Fund (net of amounts previously disbursed to the Corporation’s management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in the Trust Fund and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Fund) at the time of the Corporation’s signing of a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. An initial Business Combination must not be effectuated solely with another blank cheque company or a similar company with nominal operations.

(m)

The Corporation may enter into a Business Combination with a target business that is affiliated with the Sponsor, the directors or officers of the Corporation if such transaction were approved by a majority of the independent directors (as defined pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange) and the directors that did not have an interest in such transaction. In the event the Corporation enters into a Business Combination with an entity that is affiliated with the Sponsor, officers or directors of the Corporation, the Corporation, or a committee of independent directors (as defined pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange), will obtain an opinion that our initial Business Combination is fair to the Corporation from a financial point of view from either an independent investment banking firm that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or an independent accounting firm.

The “Lock-Up Period” shall be the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of: (i) the date that is six (6) months following the date hereof; and (ii) the date that the last sale price of the Company Common Shares equals or exceeds US$12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-day trading period.

2.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the Lock-Up Period, each Lock-Up Party may (x) Transfer, without the consent of the Company, any of such Lock-Up Party’s Lock-Up Securities (i) to any of such Lock-Up Party’s Permitted Transferees, upon written notice to the Company, or (ii) (a) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual, or for estate planning purposes; (b) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (c) in the case of an individual, by gift to a charitable organization; (d) in the case of an entity, by virtue of the laws of the jurisdiction of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity; or (e) pursuant to any liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Company Securities for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Business Combination, or (y) enter into any trading plan providing for the sale of Company Common Shares by the Lock-Up Party, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act, provided, however, that (a) such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any Company Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period and (b) the Company shall not be required to effect, and the Lock-Up Party shall not effect or cause to be effected, any public filing, report or other public announcement regarding the establishment of the trading plan; provided, that in connection with any Transfer of such Lock-Up Securities pursuant to clause (x)(i), (x)(ii)(a), (x)(ii)(b), (x)(ii)(c) or (x)(ii)(d) above, the restrictions and obligations contained in Section 2.1 and this Section 2.2 will continue to apply to such Lock-Up Securities after any Transfer of such Lock-Up Securities and such transferee shall execute and deliver a lock-up agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, a Lock-Up Party may not make a Transfer to a Permitted Transferee or otherwise pursuant to this Section 2.2 if such Transfer has

C-3

as a purpose the avoidance of or is otherwise undertaken in contemplation of avoiding the restrictions on Transfers in this Agreement (it being understood that the purpose of this provision includes prohibiting the Transfer to a Permitted Transferee (i) that has been formed to facilitate a material change with respect to who or which entities Beneficially Own the Lock-Up Securities, or (ii) followed by a change in the relationship between the Lock-Up Party and the Permitted Transferee (or a change of control of such Lock-Up Party or Permitted Transferee) after the Transfer with the result and effect that the Lock-Up Party has indirectly made a Transfer of Lock-Up Securities by using a Permitted Transferee, which Transfer would not have been directly permitted under this Section 2 had such change in such relationship occurred prior to such Transfer).

2.3 Legends. Any certificates representing the Lock-Up Securities shall have endorsed thereon legends substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A LOCK-UP AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCK-UP EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE LOCK-UP AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND SECURITYHOLDER.”

3. Additional Agreements.

3.1 Company Board Release. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that the Board of Directors of the Company shall be entitled to release any Lock-Up Party from any or all of its obligations hereunder on behalf of the Company, provided, however, that if one Lock-Up Party is released, the other Lock-Up Parties shall also be similarly released to the same relative extent as the released Lock-Up Party.

4. Fiduciary Duties. The covenants and agreements set forth herein shall not prevent any Lock-Up Party or designee of any Lock-Up Party from serving on the Board of Directors of the Company or from taking any action, subject to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, while acting in such Person’s capacity as a director of the Company. Each Lock-Up Party is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the owner of Company Securities following the consummation of the Business Combination.

5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. Upon termination of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 5 shall relieve any party hereto of liability for any willful material breach of this Agreement prior to its termination.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 Severability. In the event that any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law: (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; and (c) all other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance 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 hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order than the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

6.2 Non-survival. None of the covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any schedule, statement, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.3 Assignment. No party hereto may assign, directly or indirectly, including by operation of Law, either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties hereto, except with respect to a Transfer completed in accordance with Section 2.2. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 6.3, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment in violation of this Section 6.3 shall be void ab initio.

C-4

6.4 Amendments and Modifications. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed by (1) the Company and (2) Lock-Up Parties holding 75% of the Company Common Shares (assuming the exercise and conversion of all then-outstanding Company Securities) that are then subject to this Agreement. Any such amendment shall be binding on all the Lock-Up Parties, provided that no amendment shall be binding upon any Lock-Up Party to the extent that it materially increases any obligation upon, or otherwise materially adversely changes the rights of, such Lock-Up Party, except upon the written consent of such Lock-Up Party.

6.5 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court in the Court of King’s Bench of Alberta without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Each of the parties hereby further waives (i) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

6.6 Notices. All notices, consents and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by email (provided no “bounceback” or notice of non-delivery is received) or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 6.6):

The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or abandon an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the launch of such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration or Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement shall not be counted as an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand effected under Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

2.3 Block Trades and Other Coordinated Offerings.

2.3.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Section 2.4 and Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time when an effective Registration Statement is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering not involving a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”) or (b) an “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal, (an “Other Coordinated Offering”), in each case, (x) with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million or (y) covering all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then if such Demanding Holder requires any assistance from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.3, such Holder shall notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters or brokers, sales agents or placement agents (each, a “Financial Counterparty”) prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

2.3.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit a written notice of withdrawal to the Company, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and Financial Counterparty (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.2.

2.3.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 shall not apply to a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

2.3.4 The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and Financial Counterparty (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

2.3.5 A Holder in the aggregate may demand no more than four (4) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings pursuant to this Section 2.3 in any twelve (12) month period. For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to subsection 2.1.2 hereof.

H-8

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (A) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; (B) the filing, initial effectiveness, or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of such Underwritten Offering at any time would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control; or (C) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Demand and in the good faith judgment of a majority of the Board that such Underwritten Offering would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or the undertaking of such Underwritten Offering at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or to undertake such Underwritten Offering in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement or undertaking of such Underwritten Offering. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing or offering for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

ARTICLE III

COMPANY PROCEDURES

3.1 General Procedures.

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters or Financial Counterparty, if any, and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or Underwritten Offering or Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, and such Holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) and such other documents as the Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders; provided, that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s XXXXX system;

3.1.4 prior to any Registration of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action which would subject it to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

H-9

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

3.1.8 during the Effectiveness Period, furnish a conformed copy of each filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus, promptly after such filing of such documents with the Commission to each seller of such Registrable Securities or its counsel; provided, that the Company will not have any obligation to provide any document pursuant to this clause that is available on the Commission’s XXXXX system;

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act;

3.1.10 in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement, notify the Holders of the happening of any event as a result of which a Misstatement exists, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 of this Agreement;

3.1.11 in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering, or sale by a Financial Counterparty pursuant to such Registration, permit a representative of the Holders (such representative to be selected by a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders), the Underwriters or other Financial Counterparty facilitating such Underwritten Offering, Block Trade, Other Coordinated Offering or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney, consultant or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s or entity’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, Financial Counterparty, attorney, consultant or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters or Financial Counterparty enter into confidentiality agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

3.1.12 obtain a comfort letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a Financial Counterparty pursuant to such Registration (subject to such Financial Counterparty providing such certification or representation reasonably requested by the Company’s independent registered public accountants and the Company’s counsel), in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by comfort letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

H-10

3.1.14 in the event of an Underwritten Offering or a Block Trade, or an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a Financial Counterparty pursuant to such Registration to which the Company has consented, to the extent reasonably requested by such Financial Counterparty in order to engage in such offering, allow the Underwriters or Financial Counterparty to conduct customary “underwriter’s due diligence” with respect to the Company;

3.1.15 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, a Block Trade, an Other Coordinated Offering or sale by a Financial Counterparty pursuant to such Registration, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement or other purchase or sales agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter or the Financial Counterparty of such offering or sale;

3.1.16 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earning statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.17 use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.18 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or Financial Counterparty if such Underwriter or Financial Counterparty has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter or Financial Counterparty, as applicable.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses in respect of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not timely provide the Company with its requested Holder Information upon reasonable notice, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary or advisable to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to (A) delay or postpone the (i) initial effectiveness of any Registration Statement or (ii) launch of any Underwritten Offering, in each case, filed or requested pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) from time to time to require the Holders not to sell under any Registration Statement or Prospectus or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Board reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement or Prospectus would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Board, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement or Prospectus to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend a Registration Statement, Prospectus or Underwritten Offering on more than two occasions, for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of a Suspension Event while a

H-11

Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event a Misstatement exists, each Holder agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of Registered Securities under each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement until the Holder receives copies of a supplemental or amended Prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the relevant misstatements or omissions and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Holders will deliver to the Company or, in Holders’ sole discretion destroy, all copies of each Prospectus covering Registrable Securities in Holders’ possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy shall not apply (A) to the extent the Holders are required to retain a copy of such Prospectus (x) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (y) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (B) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable outside attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use therein.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (“Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable outside attorneys’ fees and inclusive of all reasonable outside attorneys’ fees arising out of the enforcement of each such persons’ rights under this Section 4.1) resulting from any Misstatement or alleged Misstatement, but only to the extent that the same are made in reliance on and in conformity with information relating to the Holder so furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Xxxxxx specifically for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim or there may be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available

H-12

to the indemnifying party, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (and one local counsel in the applicable jurisdiction) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall to the extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or such indemnified party and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 of this Agreement, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

[Closing Date]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) dated as of September [●], 2022, by and among Decarbonization Plus Acquisition Corporation IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPAC”), Hammerhead Resources Inc., an Alberta corporation (the “Company”), Hammerhead Energy Inc., an Alberta corporation (“New SPAC”), and 2453729 Alberta ULC, an Alberta unlimited liability corporation (“AmalCo” and together with SPAC, the Company and New SPAC, collectively, the “Parties”). Capitalized terms used in this side letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the BCA. Except as otherwise provided, all “Section” references are to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and all “Treasury Regulation Section” references are to the Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code.

In connection with the BCA and all other agreements entered into in connection therewith, including the Plan of Arrangement, the Support Agreements, the Registration Rights Agreement, together with any applicable agreements referred to therein, and in consideration for the Key Company Shareholders addressed above (the “Applicable Shareholders”) entering into the Support Agreements and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, New SPAC agrees to the following:

For each fiscal year of New SPAC in which any Applicable Shareholder owns shares in New SPAC, New SPAC will (i) determine whether New SPAC or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries constituted a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) as defined in section 1297 of the Code for such fiscal year, and will so advise the Applicable Shareholders and (ii) no later than 90 days after the end of such fiscal year, commencing with the first fiscal year for which

New SPAC or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries is determined to be a PFIC, furnish to the Applicable Shareholders (x) all information reasonably necessary to permit the Applicable Shareholders (or its direct or indirect owners) to complete United States Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 with respect to its interest in New SPAC or indirect interest in any subsidiary of New SPAC that is determined to be a PFIC and (y) a PFIC Annual Information Statement under section 1295(b) of the Code with respect to New SPAC or any of its subsidiaries that is determined to be a PFIC. For each fiscal year of New SPAC in which any Applicable Shareholder owns shares in New SPAC, New SPAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the Applicable Shareholders promptly upon request such other information reasonably requested by the Applicable Shareholders in order to withhold tax or to file tax returns and reports or to furnish tax information to any of its direct or indirect owners with respect to New SPAC or any of its subsidiaries. This paragraph 1 shall only apply with respect to direct or indirect subsidiaries of New SPAC if stock of such direct or indirect subsidiary is treated as “owned” (within the meaning of section 1298(a) of the Code) by an Applicable Shareholder or an Applicable Shareholder notifies New SPAC in writing that stock of such direct or indirect subsidiary is treated as “owned” (within the meaning of section 1298(a) of the Code) by a direct or indirect owner of an Applicable Shareholder.

New SPAC represents that as of the date hereof, there is no plan or intention for New SPAC to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the stock of the Amalgamated Company or any of the assets of the Amalgamated Company in a “controlled asset transfer” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(d)(1), including by making or causing to be made any election to treat the Amalgamated Company as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.¹

The provisions set forth in Sections 8 (Remedies), 9 (Notices), 10 (Interpretation), 11 (Severability), 12 (Entire Agreement; Assignment), 13 (Amendment), 15 (Governing Law) and 20 (Counterparts) of the respective Support Agreements are hereby incorporated by reference into, and shall be deemed to apply to, this Letter Agreement, mutatis mutandis. References to SPAC in the Support Agreements refer to New SPAC for purposes of this Letter Agreement.

¹	Note to Draft: If there is a change in law prior to Closing that would cause the Amalgamated Company to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the following will be included:

New SPAC acknowledges that any direct or indirect holder of New SPAC Class A Common Shares who is a “five-percent transferee shareholder” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(5)(ii) of New SPAC following the Company Amalgamation (a “New SPAC 5% Shareholder”), may enter into (and cause to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service) a gain recognition agreement (“GRA”) with respect to the New SPAC Class A Common Shares issued in the Company Amalgamation. Upon the written request of any New SPAC 5% Shareholder made following the Closing Date, New SPAC shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to such New SPAC 5% Shareholder such information as such New SPAC 5% Shareholder reasonably requests in connection with such New SPAC 5% Shareholder’s preparation of a GRA and any necessary Tax forms with respect thereto, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such New SPAC 5% Shareholder with the information reasonably requested by such New SPAC 5% Shareholder for purposes of determining whether there has been a gain “triggering event” under the terms of such New SPAC 5% Shareholder’s GRA.
