(d) | Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary (or, if applicable, the Company) pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary (or, if applicable, the Company) or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case on or before the second anniversary of the issue date of such cheque, shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the Shareholder or Plan Participant to receive the consideration for Restricted Voting Shares or Company Options and DSUs, as the case may be, pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser or any successor thereof for no consideration. |
(e) | No holder of Restricted Voting Shares, Company Options or DSUs shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such Restricted Voting Shares, Company Options or DSUs other than any cash payment to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.2 and this Section 4.2 and, for greater certainty, no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment or distribution in connection therewith. |

Section 4.3 Lost Certificates
In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Restricted Voting Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Section 2.2 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Shareholder 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 Section 2.2 and such Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Shareholder to whom cash is to be issued shall, as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser, the Company (and its transfer agents) and the Depositary in such sum as the Purchaser may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Company and the Purchaser in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser against any claim that may be made against the Company or Purchaser with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
Section 4.4 Withholding Rights
The Company, the Purchaser and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend or consideration otherwise payable to any Shareholder or Plan Participant such amounts as the Company, the Purchaser or the Depositary is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or any provision of federal, provincial, 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 holder of the Restricted Voting Shares, Company Options or DSUs in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity.
