case of Transaction Litigation with respect to Thor, the
Thor Board has made a Thor Change in Recommendation, each Party shall give the other Party the opportunity to participate (at such other
Party’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the
other Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except that the other
Party shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of such other Party and its affiliates
or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after the Effective Time upon ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ or any of its affiliates or Representatives
or which affects the completion of the Transaction. In the event of, and to the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions

are held on the date of this Agreement; or (d) Thor changes the number of Thor Shares issued and outstanding as a result of a reclassification,
stock split (including a reverse stock split), consolidation, recapitalization, subdivision, or other similar transaction, then in each
case, to provide each Party and their respective shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated in this Agreement and the Transaction
but for such circumstances arising, and to reflect the same good faith mutual intent of the Parties as of the date of this Agreement,
the Exchange Ratio and any other dependent item set out in this Agreement, shall be adjusted, except as may be otherwise agreed by the
Parties in writing. In the event that an adjustment is required pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.13 and the Parties cannot agree
to the adjustment to the Exchange Ratio within ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ (20) Business Days of such event occurring, the adjustment to the Exchange Ratio
will be determined by the Expert in accordance with Section 2.13(3). |
| (2) | For greater certainty, nothing in this Section 2.13 shall derogate from the covenants, terms and
conditions in this Agreement or be construed to permit ▇▇▇▇, Thor or any of their respective affiliates to take any action that is otherwise
prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or to cure any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant given by a Party
under this Agreement. |
| (3) | In the event that the Parties cannot agree to the adjustment required to the Exchange Ratio contemplated
by Section 2.13: |
| (a) | the Parties shall as promptly as practicable and in any event in sufficient time to allow the adjustment
to be determined prior to the Effective Date, jointly retain an independent and internationally recognized valuation expert with sufficient
industry knowledge (the “Expert”) to resolve the dispute, on customary and reasonable engagement terms of such Expert
and each Party shall bear 50% of the fees and expenses of the Expert in connection with the process contemplated by this Section 2.13(3); |
| (b) | by the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the retention of the Expert, each of the Parties shall
submit to the Expert a statement setting forth the detail of the circumstances giving rise to the adjustment contemplated by Section 2.13
and such Party’s proposed adjusted Exchange Ratio, together with such reasonable supporting documentation as the Expert shall reasonably
request; |
| (c) | the Expert shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to the adjusted Exchange Ratio
as soon as reasonably practicable (which the Parties agree should not be later than thirty (30) days following the date upon which the
Expert was retained) |
| (d) | the adjustment to the Exchange Ratio shall be equal to the arithmetic average of the (x) adjustment determined
by the Expert and (y) the adjustment submitted by ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇ to the Expert that is closest to the adjustment determined by the Expert.
The adjustment to the Exchange Ratio determined pursuant to this process shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties, absent
fraud or manifest error; |
| (e) | the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Expert during the term of its engagement. Neither Party
nor their Representatives shall have any ex parte conversations or meetings with the Expert in connection with the resolution by the Expert
of the dispute regarding the Exchange Ratio; and |
| (f) | the Expert shall use customary valuation methodologies for determining any values required to determine
the adjustment to the Exchange Ratio. |
| (4) | To the extent there is any ongoing dispute between the Parties relating to the adjustment to the Exchange
Ratio pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.13(1) and Section 2.13(3), the Outside Date shall automatically be extended
by the amount of time during which such dispute is pending plus twenty (20) Business Days. |
| Section 2.14 | No Fractional Shares. |
In no event shall any Thor Shareholder be entitled
to delivery of a fractional ▇▇▇▇ Consideration Share or a fractional Exchangeable Consideration Share pursuant to or as a result of the
Arrangement. If a Thor Shareholder is entitled to receive a fractional interest in an ▇▇▇▇ Consideration Share or Exchangeable Consideration
Share, as applicable, such fractional interests shall be aggregated and sold on behalf of such Thor Shareholder and the net proceeds from
such sale shall be remitted to such Thor Shareholder as more fully described in the Plan of Arrangement.
| Section 2.15 | Incentive Awards and Incentive Plans. |
| (1) | In respect of the Thor Incentive Awards and the Thor Incentive Plans: |
| (a) | the outstanding Thor Incentive Awards shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of
Arrangement; |
| (b) | prior to the Effective Date and conditional upon the Effective Time having occurred, Thor shall, in consultation
with ▇▇▇▇ (including with respect to any adjustment to Performance Conditions to be applied to Thor PSUs and/or Thor PDSUs pursuant to
the Performance Determination Notice), take all steps necessary or desirable to: (i) upon the Effective Time, give effect to the modifications
to the Thor Incentive Plans necessary to reflect that ▇▇▇▇ is a successor to ▇▇▇▇ under the Thor Incentive Plans pursuant to their terms;
(ii) give effect to adjustments to the Thor Options (whether vested or unvested) in accordance with the Thor Option Plan to exchange each
such Thor Option for a Thor Replacement Option over a number of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the time specified in and as provided for under the Plan
of Arrangement (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and agreed to by Thor acting reasonably and in good faith, an award over
▇▇▇▇ Shares of equivalent value under the ▇▇▇▇ Incentive Plans that provides the applicable Thor Option holder with equivalent compensation,
including taking into account any applicable Tax consequences to such Thor Option holder arising, both at the time of replacement and
at the time of exercise or payment, directly from any such award (the “Thor Replacement Awards”)); (iii) reflect that,
from and after the Effective Time, any payments to be made on the redemption or settlement of the applicable Thor Incentive Awards that
are redeemable or settled for cash will be calculated by reference to the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in accordance with the applicable Thor Incentive
Plans and the Plan of Arrangement; and (iv) reflect that the “payout multiplier” (as provided for under the applicable document
evidencing the applicable Thor PSUs and Thor PDSUs) to be applied to certain Thor PSUs and Thor PDSUs outstanding at the Effective Time
and the Performance Conditions applicable to all other Thor PSUs and Thor PDSUs outstanding at the Effective Time are as set forth in
the applicable Performance Determination Notice(s), in accordance with the applicable Thor Incentive Plans and the Plan of Arrangement; |
| (c) | any Thor Options granted after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Date shall be granted on terms
which, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, allow for the |
| | | exchange of each such Thor Option for a Thor Replacement Option or a Thor
Replacement Award, as applicable; and |
| (d) | ▇▇▇▇ shall take all corporate action reasonably necessary to ensure treatment of the Thor Incentive Awards
in accordance with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement and the Thor Incentive Plans. |
| (2) | In respect of the ▇▇▇▇ Incentive Awards and the ▇▇▇▇ Incentive Plans, the Parties acknowledge that, subject
to Section 5.3(1)(b)(xx), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the ▇▇▇▇ remuneration committee appropriately exercising any discretion
it has under and in accordance with any ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plan, the ▇▇▇▇ director remuneration policy or with the approval of ▇▇▇▇ Shareholders
to amend or implement new incentive arrangements to support staff and executive retention in the period prior to the Effective Date, provided
that for greater certainty ▇▇▇▇ shall not issue or agree to issue any ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or other equity securities under any ▇▇▇▇ Incentive
Plan or in connection with any incentive arrangements. |
| Section 2.16 | Announcement and Shareholder Communications. |
▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ shall jointly publicly announce
the Transactions promptly following the execution of this Agreement by ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇, the text and timing of such announcement to be
approved in writing by the Parties in advance. ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ agree to cooperate in the preparation of presentations, if any, to Thor
Shareholders or ▇▇▇▇ Shareholders regarding the Transactions, and no Party shall issue any press release or otherwise make public
announcements with respect to this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement without the prior written consent of the other Party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as permitted by Article 6; provided, however, that, subject to
Section 5.5 and Article 6, the foregoing shall be subject to each Party’s overriding obligation to make any
disclosure required under applicable Laws or stock exchange rules, and the Party making such disclosure shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to give prior written notice to the other Party and reasonable opportunity to review or comment on the
disclosure, and if such prior notice is not possible, to give notice immediately following the making of such disclosure. To the
extent permitted by applicable Law, each Party shall provide prior notice to the other Party of any material public disclosure that
it proposes to make regarding its business or operations, together with a draft copy of such disclosure. The other Party and its
legal counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such information prior to such information being
disseminated publicly, and reasonable consideration shall be given to any comments made by the other Party and its counsel. For the
avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing shall prevent any Party from making internal announcements to employees, securityholders,
financial analysts and having discussions with stakeholders and any trustee of any ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plan which is a UK defined benefit
pension arrangement, in each case concerning the Transaction, so long as such announcements and discussions are consistent in all
material respects with the most recent press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by such Party regarding the
Transaction in accordance with this Section 2.16 and any such disclosures must be in compliance with Article 6. The
Parties consent to this Agreement being filed on SEDAR+ and ▇▇▇▇▇ substantially concurrently with the public announcement of the
Transactions in accordance with this Section 2.16 with the Parties to agree on the appropriate redactions to the Agreement in
good faith, and acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇ will file a material change report relating to this Agreement.

Thor and the Depositary are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of any non-cash consideration (for the avoidance
of doubt, including the Consideration), on behalf of such holder, as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to ▇▇▇▇, ExchangeCo, CallCo,
Thor or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and ▇▇▇▇, ExchangeCo,
CallCo, Thor or the Depositary shall notify the holder thereof and remit any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale or disposition
(after deduction of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and commissions incurred in connection with such sales) to such holder. To the
extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the relevant Tax Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes
under this Agreement and the Arrangement as having been paid to the Person to whom the relevant portion of the consideration would otherwise
have been provided and the obligation to provide the consideration shall be treated as discharged to the same extent.
| Section 2.18 | List of Shareholders. |
At the reasonable request of the other Party
from time to time, each Party shall provide the other Party (a) with a list (in electronic form) of its registered shareholders,
together with their addresses and respective holdings of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the case may be, (b) with a list of the

or ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the case may be. Each Party shall from time to time require that its registrar and, in the case of ▇▇▇▇, transfer
agent furnish the other Party with such additional information, including updated or additional lists of shareholders and lists of
holdings and other assistance as the other Party may reasonably request. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall require a Party to
breach applicable Privacy Laws.

| (1) | The Parties intend that the issuance of the Consideration Shares under the Arrangement shall be exempt
from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof, and each
Party shall take such reasonable actions as shall be required to facilitate reliance on such exemption in connection with the Arrangement. |
| (2) | The Parties intend that ▇▇▇▇ will succeed to ▇▇▇▇ under Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act in connection

of Exchangeable Shares”, |
| | | “Redemption by Issuer” and “Call Right” in Schedule 5.14) and (c) following
such effectiveness, cause the U.S. Registration Statement (or a successor registration statement) to remain effective at all times that
any Exchangeable Shares remain outstanding. |
| Section 2.20 | Support Agreements. |
Neither Party shall agree to or permit any termination,
amendment, replacement or other modification of or supplement to, or waive any provisions under, any ▇▇▇▇ Support Agreement or Thor Support
Agreement to which it is a party, without the prior written consent of the other Party.

(x) conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Effective Date, and (y) the condition set forth in Section 7.1(j)
|
| | | [Declaration of Dividend]), unless payment of the ▇▇▇▇ Special Dividend would constitute
an unlawful distribution pursuant to the Companies Act, declare the ▇▇▇▇ Special Dividend with a record date prior to the Effective Date
and payment date either prior to the Effective Date or within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date; and (b) during the Interim Period,
not take or permit any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives to take any action that would cause the declaration or payment of the ▇▇▇▇
Special Dividend to constitute an unlawful distribution pursuant to the Companies Act. |
| Section 5.4 | Covenants of ▇▇▇▇ Relating to the Arrangement. |
| (1) | During the Interim Period, subject to Section 5.5 of this Agreement which shall govern in relation
to Regulatory Approvals and Section 5.3(5) which shall govern in relation to the ▇▇▇▇ Special Dividend, ▇▇▇▇ shall and shall cause
the Subsidiaries of ▇▇▇▇ to perform all obligations required to be performed by ▇▇▇▇ or any of its Subsidiaries under this Agreement and
use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Thor in connection therewith, and do all such other acts and things as may be necessary
or desirable in order to consummate and make effective as soon as reasonably practicable the Transactions and, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Adam shall and, where appropriate, shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to: |
| (a) | upon reasonable consultation with Thor, subject to Section 2.10, use reasonable best efforts to defend
all lawsuits or other legal, regulatory or other proceedings against Adam, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective directors or officers
challenging or affecting this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions and use reasonable best efforts to have lifted or rescinded
any injunction or restraining order or other order relating to Adam or any of its Subsidiaries which may materially adversely affect the
ability of the Parties to consummate the Arrangement; |
| (b) | use reasonable best efforts to satisfy all conditions precedent in this Agreement and take all steps set
forth in the Interim Order and Final Order applicable to it and comply promptly with all requirements which applicable Laws may impose
on Adam or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Transactions; |
| (c) | apply for and use reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain the TSX Conditional Approval, the NYSE Approval,
the LSE Admission and the JSE Admission, and conditional approval of the TSX for the listing of the Exchangeable Shares on the TSX, subject
only to customary conditions; and |
| (d) | use commercially reasonable efforts to seek all material third-party notices, consents, waivers, approvals,
permits, exemptions, orders, agreements, amendments or confirmations required to be obtained by Adam or any of its Subsidiaries in connection
with the Transactions in each case without paying, and without committing itself, or Thor or any of their respective Subsidiaries to pay,
any consideration or incurring any liability or obligation without the prior written consent of Thor (it being expressly agreed by Thor
that no such notice, consent, waiver, approval, permit, exemption, order, agreement, amendment or confirmation in and of itself shall
be a condition to the closing of the Arrangement). |
| (2) | During the Interim Period, Adam shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following
any of the events described below) notify Thor in writing upon becoming aware of: |
| (a) | any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent (or waiver, approval, permit,
exemption, order, agreement, amendment or confirmation) of such Person (or another Person) is or may be required in connection with this
Agreement or any of the Transactions, other than in respect of Regulatory Approvals which are governed by Section 5.5; |
| (b) | unless prohibited by applicable Law or Contract existing as of the date of this Agreement, any notice
or other communication from (i) any proxy advisory service in connection with, or (ii) any Person objecting to, indicating an intention
to oppose or pursuing or threatening to pursue a position adverse to the completion of, the Transactions (and Adam shall contemporaneously
provide a copy of any such written notice or communication to Thor), other than in respect of Regulatory Approvals which are governed
by Section 5.5; or |
| (c) | any material litigation, proceeding, regulatory process, claim or investigation commenced or, to Adam’s
knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving, or otherwise affecting the Arrangement or any of the Transactions, other than
in respect of Regulatory Approvals which are governed by Section 5.5. |
| (3) | The receipt of notice or information by Thor pursuant to Section 5.4(2) or otherwise shall not operate
as a waiver by Thor or otherwise diminish the scope of or otherwise affect any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation
of Adam under this Agreement or any condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3. Additionally, the failure of Adam to
comply with Section 5.4(2) shall not give rise to the failure of a condition precedent set forth in Section 7.3(a) or a right
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(1)(d)(ii) other than in the event of Willful Breach by a Party or any of its
Representatives. |
| Section 5.5 | Regulatory Approvals. |
| (1) | Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 5.5 (including Section 5.5(5) and Section 5.5(6)),
Adam and Thor shall, and shall cause their respective affiliates to, use their reasonable best efforts to: (a) obtain all Regulatory Approvals,
including the Key Regulatory Approvals; (b) effect all registrations, filings and submissions of information required by Governmental
Entities relating to the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event sufficiently in advance of the Outside Date so

any and all impediments under any Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity or any other Person with respect to the Transactions. |
| (2) | The Parties agree that, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 5.5 (including Section 5.5(5)
and Section 5.5(6)): |
| (a) | Adam shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the date
hereof, or such other period of time as may be agreed in writing by the Parties, file an application for review pursuant to Part IV of
the ICA, [Redacted: Matters related to ICA Approval]; and |
| (b) | the Parties shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days
following the date hereof or such other period of time as may be agreed in writing by the Parties: |
| (i) | file a pre-merger notification pursuant to Part IX of the Competition Act; |
| (ii) | file a competition brief requesting an advance ruling certificate under section 102 of the Competition
Act or in the alternative a no action letter; and |

as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, and Authorizations in respect of the other Regulatory Approvals not
expressly identified in this Section 5.5(2). |
| (3) | The Parties shall cooperate with one another in connection with obtaining the Regulatory Approvals and
will consult with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, to jointly devise, develop and implement: (i) the
strategy, timing and form for obtaining any necessary approval of, for responding to any request from, inquiry or investigation by, or
execution of any remedy required by, any Governmental Entity that has authority to enforce any Law related to the Regulatory Approvals
(including directing the timing, nature and substance of all such responses, including any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda,
briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any Party in connection with the subject matter of this
Section 5.5), and (ii) the defense and settlement of any action brought by or before any Governmental Entity that has authority to
enforce any Law; provided, however, that in the event of any disagreement between the Parties with respect to the matters
described in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), the General Counsel of Adam and the General Counsel of Thor shall seek to resolve such
disagreement reasonably and in good faith; provided, further, that if the respective General Counsels of the Parties cannot
resolve any such disagreement within ten (10) Business Days, the Chief Executive Officer of Adam and the Chief Executive Officer of Thor
shall seek to resolve such disagreement reasonably and in good faith within a further five (5) Business Days. |
| (4) | The Parties shall provide or submit on a timely basis, and as promptly as practicable, all documentation
and information that is required or reasonably requested by any Governmental Entity, or advisable, in connection with any filing or application
to be made with respect to the Regulatory Approvals, in each case, in accordance with, and subject to the applicable procedures set forth
in Section 5.5(3); provided, however, that nothing in this provision shall require a Party to provide information that
is not in its possession or not otherwise reasonably available to such Party. |
| (5) | In the case of each of clauses (a) through (f), in accordance with and subject to the applicable procedures
set forth in Section 5.5(3), the Parties shall: (a) with respect to any proposed applications, notices, filings, submissions, correspondence,
agreements, orders, undertakings,
or other information or communications relating to the Regulatory Approvals, provide each other with the assistance each may request
in the preparation of the same (including providing any information reasonably requested by the other Party or its outside counsel),
provide each other with draft copies thereof in advance and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon prior to supplying
to or filing with a Governmental Entity, and provide each other with final copies thereof once supplied or filed, as applicable (except
for any such materials or parts thereof that the disclosing party, acting reasonably, considers competitively sensitive, which then shall
be provided on an external counsel-only basis to external counsel of the other Party, provided that no materials submitted to
a Governmental Entity under the ICA shall be deemed competitively sensitive), and neither Thor nor Adam shall submit any applications,
notices, filings, submissions, correspondence, agreements, orders, undertakings or other information or communications relating to the
Regulatory Approvals unless the other Party has consented to such submission; (b) cooperate on a timely basis in the preparation of any
response by a Party to any request for additional information |
received by such Party from a Governmental Entity in connection with the Regulatory Approvals; (c) promptly provide or submit
all documentation and information that is required by Law, reasonably requested by a Governmental Entity, or advisable in the opinion
of Adam or Thor, each acting reasonably, in connection with obtaining the Regulatory Approvals; (d) subject to applicable Law, provide
each other and each of their counsel with advance notice of and the opportunity to participate in any meeting, virtual meeting, telephone
call or other discussion with any Governmental Entity in connection with the Regulatory Approvals, provided that neither Thor nor
Adam shall attend any meeting, virtual meeting or telephone call or other discussion with any Governmental Entity in connection with the
Regulatory Approvals unless the other Party has consented to such discussion; (e) otherwise keep each other informed, on a timely basis,
of the status of discussions and communications with any Governmental Entity relating to the Regulatory Approvals, including promptly
providing copies of any written communications received from Governmental Entities in connection with the Regulatory Approvals or summaries
of any verbal communications received in that regard; and (f) effect such presentations and assist at such discussions or meetings with
a relevant Governmental Entity as Adam or Thor may determine is appropriate for the purpose of obtaining the Regulatory Approvals as promptly
as practicable.
| (6) | The Parties agree that: |
| (a) | in fulfilling their obligations under this Section 5.5 related to the ICA Approval, Adam and Thor
shall propose, offer, negotiate, commit to, agree to and effect: (i) the undertakings set forth in Schedule 5.5(2) (collectively the “Agreed
ICA Undertakings”); and (ii) such additional, other or enhanced undertakings, commitments, terms or conditions as may be agreed
or required by a Governmental Entity in addition to the Agreed ICA Undertakings, provided that such additional, other or enhanced
undertakings, commitments, terms or conditions do not result in a Burdensome Condition; |
| (b) | in fulfilling their obligations under this Section 5.5 related to any other Regulatory Approval,
each Party shall propose, offer, negotiate, commit to, agree to and effect, by undertaking, commitment, consent agreement, consent decree,
trust, hold separate agreement, contract, order or otherwise: (i) the sale, divestiture, licensing, holding separate or disposition of
all or any part of the businesses or assets of Adam, Thor or any of their respective affiliates; (ii) the termination of any existing
contractual rights, relationships and obligations, or entry into or amendment of any other contractual relationships; (iii) changing or
modifying any course of conduct regarding future operations of either Adam, Thor or their respective Subsidiaries; and (iv) any commitments
or undertakings imposing any other conditions, requirements, restrictions,
limitations, forfeitures or agreements affecting Adam and its affiliates’ or Thor and its affiliates’ full rights or ownership
of their respective properties, operations or businesses; |
provided, however,
that in the case of any action with respect to any Regulatory Approval (including ICA Approval) as set forth in Section 5.5(6)(a)
or Section 5.5(6)(b):
| (i) | any such action shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions; |
| (ii) | no such action shall result in any change to the Exchange Ratio; |
| (iii) | no such actions shall be considered for purposes of determining whether an Adam Material Adverse Effect
or Thor Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur; |
| (iv) | no such actions shall be considered for purposes of determining whether a representation, warranty or
covenant of Adam or Thor under this Agreement has been breached or whether a condition to the closing of the Arrangement has been satisfied;
and |
| (v) | any reasonable effort by a Party to resist, reduce or negotiate the scope of any such action shall be
deemed consistent with their obligations to take reasonable best efforts so long as such efforts do not unreasonably delay the Effective
Date or delay the obtaining of any Regulatory Approval (including the ICA Approval) in a manner that could cause the Effective Time not
to occur as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event sufficiently in advance of the Outside Date so as to allow the Effective Time
to occur before the Outside Date; |
provided, further, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties or their respective affiliates shall be required to propose,
offer, negotiate, commit to, agree to or effect any Burdensome Condition.
| (7) | Without limiting or derogating from the Parties’ obligations contained elsewhere in this Section 5.5,
but subject to Section 5.5(6), if any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any Law, or if any action is
instituted or threatened by or before any Governmental Entity challenging or which could lead to a challenge of any of the Transactions,
the Parties shall contest, defend against and resolve such objections or action, as applicable, including by using their best efforts
to avoid, oppose or seek to have lifted or rescinded any Law that would restrain, prevent, restrict or delay the consummation of the Arrangement. |
| (8) | Adam and Thor shall not, and shall not allow any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take any action
or enter into any merger, acquisition, business combination, plan of arrangement, material joint venture or scheme of arrangement [Redacted:
Commercially sensitive matters related to Adam projects.] that would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impede the obtaining
of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, the Key Regulatory Approvals, or otherwise prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the
Transactions. Adam and Thor shall not agree, or refuse to agree, to the extension of a waiting period, review period or enter into an
agreement not to consummate the Arrangement or to not consummate the Arrangement prior to any date without the prior written consent of
the other Party. Adam and Thor shall not withdraw any filing or application made in connection with any Regulatory Approval (including
the ICA Approval) without the prior written consent of the other Party. |
| (9) | All filing and similar fees paid to Governmental Entities associated with obtaining the Regulatory Approvals
shall be borne equally by Adam and Thor. |
| Section 5.6 | Governance Arrangements. |
| (1) | The Parties hereby agree that (and without limiting their obligations in Section 5.5) Adam-Thor shall

respectively, businesses under the “Adam-Thor” trade name until subsequently changed in accordance with Section 5.6(2)(c).

in its registered name, then it will also similarly cease to use the “Adam” name; or (ii) Adam-Thor ceases to use “Adam”
in its registered name, then it will also similarly cease to use the “Thor” name; |
| (d) | if at any time following any Adam-Thor Material Subsidiary’s change in its registered name pursuant
to Section 5.6(2)(b), such Adam-Thor Material Subsidiary (i) ceases to use “Adam” in its registered name, then it will
also similarly cease to use the “Thor” name, or (ii) ceases to use “Thor” in its registered name, then it will
also similarly cease to use the “Adam” name; |
| (e) | if at any time following any time following any Adam-Thor Group member’s change in its trade name
pursuant to Section 5.6(1), such Person (i) ceases to conduct its business using a trade name that includes the “Adam”
name, then it will also similarly cease to use the “Thor” name, or (ii) ceases to conduct its business using a trade name
that includes the “Thor” name, then it will also similarly cease to use the “Adam” name; |
| (f) | the Adam Shares will, following the Effective Time, be listed for trading on the TSX, NYSE, LSE and JSE
and the Exchangeable Shares will, following the Effective Time, be listed for trading on the TSX; |
| (g) | until the close of the annual general meeting of Adam-Thor shareholders following the third anniversary
of the Effective Time, the Adam-Thor Board shall have an even number of directors, including an equal number of nominees each from
Thor and Adam; provided that (i) the replacement director to be put forward for approval as the replacement for any Thor
nominee during such period must be selected by a majority of the Thor nominees (or their replacement nominees selected in accordance
with this proviso)
and (ii) the replacement director to be put forward for approval as the replacement for any Adam nominee during such period must be selected
by a majority of the Adam nominees (or their replacement nominees selected in accordance with this proviso) and, for the purpose of formalising
(i) and (ii), the terms of reference for the Adam-Thor nominations committee shall be amended to reflect such principles at the Effective
Time; |
| (h) | the chairperson of the Adam-Thor Board immediately following the Effective Time shall be Sheila Murray; |
| (i) | the Adam-Thor Chief Executive Officer, Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer shall
be the persons listed on Schedule 5.6, less any such person on that list who resigns, dies, goes on a long-term leave of absence
or is dismissed for Cause prior to the Effective Time, and the other executive leadership team members of Adam-Thor shall be jointly selected
by the Parties acting reasonably and in good faith on a “best athlete” basis; and |
| (j) | all Thor Permitted Dividends, all Adam Permitted Dividends and the Adam Special Dividend, to the extent
declared prior to the Effective Date but not paid on or before the Effective Date, shall be paid in full after the Effective Date, and
within the applicable time periods and on the relevant payment dates, and Adam-Thor shall not take any action or omit to take any action
that would cause any such Thor Permitted Dividends, Adam Permitted Dividends or the Adam Special Dividend to be cancelled or revoked. |
| (3) | For sake of clarity, as used in Section 5.6(2)(c), the term “name” with respect to the
“Adam” name or “Thor” name shall include derivations, abbreviations and other variants intended to indicate association
with Adam or Thor, as applicable. |
| Section 5.7 | Access to Information; Integration Planning; Confidentiality. |
| (1) | 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, each of Adam and Thor shall, and shall
cause their respective Representatives to, afford to the other Party and to Representatives of the other Party such access as the other
Party may reasonably require at all reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice for the purpose of facilitating integration business
planning, to their officers, employees, agents, properties, books, records and Contracts, and shall furnish the other Party with all data
and information as the other Party may reasonably request. |
| (2) | As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Parties will develop an integration
plan with the assistance of an integration planning team (the “Integration Planning Team”), half the members of which
shall be comprised of individuals designated by Adam and half the members of which shall be designated by Thor, provided that no
designated member of the Integration Planning Team shall have responsibility for strategic decision-making at Adam or Thor with respect
to any goods, products or services in which Adam and Thor overlap. [Redacted: Matters related to Integration Planning Team processes and
information sharing.] |
| (3) | Adam and Thor acknowledge and agree that information furnished pursuant to Section 5.7(1) or Section 5.7(2)
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement and that all members of the Integration Planning
Team shall be Clean Team Members (as defined therein) for the purposes of the Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement. The Parties hereby
agree that, notwithstanding any provision of the Confidentiality and Standstill
Agreement, the term of the Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement shall be extended to the extent necessary to expire at the earlier

| Section 5.8 | Privacy Matters. |
| (1) | For the purposes of this Section 5.8, “Transaction Personal Information” means
the Personal Information transferred, disclosed or conveyed to one Party or any of its representatives or agents (a “Recipient”)
by or on behalf of another Party (a “Transferor”) as a result of or in conjunction with the Arrangement, and includes
all such Personal Information transferred, disclosed or conveyed to the Recipient prior to the execution of this Agreement. |
| (2) | Each Transferor acknowledges and confirms that it will take measures to ensure that the transfer, disclosure,
communication or conveyance of Transaction Personal Information is limited to what is necessary for the purposes of determining if the
Parties shall proceed with the Arrangement and, if the determination is made to proceed with the Arrangement, to carry on the business
and complete the Arrangement. |
| (3) | In addition to its other obligations hereunder, the Recipient covenants and agrees to, prior to the completion
of the Arrangement: |
| (a) | process, collect, use and disclose the Transaction Personal Information in compliance with applicable
Privacy Laws and solely for the purpose of reviewing, determining whether to proceed with and completing the Arrangement; |
| (b) | where required by applicable Law (including Privacy Laws), not communicate Transaction Personal Information
without the consent of the individual concerned, unless authorized to do so by applicable Law; |

appropriate to the sensitivity of the Transaction Personal Information in accordance with applicable Privacy Laws; and |

the option of the Recipient, should the Arrangement not be completed or as otherwise required by Law. |
| (4) | Should the Arrangement be completed, in addition to its other obligations hereunder, the Recipient covenants
and agrees to, following the completion of the Arrangement: |
| (a) | process, use and disclose the Transaction Personal Information in compliance with applicable Privacy Laws
and solely for the purposes for which the information was collected, permitted to be used or disclosed before the Arrangement was completed,
unless the Recipient provides notice and/or obtains consent and/or is otherwise permitted to do so, in each case, in accordance with applicable
Law (including Privacy Laws), to use or disclose the Transaction Personal Information for other purposes, or the use or disclosure of
the Transaction Personal Information is otherwise required or permitted by applicable Law; |
| (b) | protect the Transaction Personal Information by security safeguards appropriate to its sensitivity in
accordance with applicable Privacy Laws; |
| (c) | give effect to withdrawals of consent to collect, use or disclose the Transaction Personal Information,

the individuals to whom the Transaction Personal Information pertains that the Arrangement has been completed and that their personal
information has been disclosed to and is now held by the Recipient because of the Arrangement. |
| (5) | Notwithstanding Section 5.7 or the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.8, either relevant
Party shall, where reasonably required, be permitted to furnish any Transaction Personal Information or any other relevant details about
the Transaction to: (i) any trustee from time to time (or any relevant trustee’s professional advisers) of any Adam Benefit Plan
which is a UK defined benefit pension arrangement; or (ii) any third-party insurer which has insured (or is in the process of insuring)
any benefits or liabilities under any such arrangement. |
| Section 5.9 | Cure Provisions. |
| (1) | Adam may not elect to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(1)(c)(ii)
[Breach of Representation or Warranty or Failure to Perform Covenants by Thor] and Thor may not elect to exercise its right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(1)(d)(ii) [Breach of Representation or Warranty or Failure to Perform Covenants
by Adam], unless the Party seeking to terminate the Agreement (the “Terminating Party”) has delivered a written
notice (“Termination Notice”) to the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) specifying in reasonable
detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Terminating Party asserts as the basis for
termination. After delivering a Termination Notice, if the Breaching Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and such matter
is capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date, the Terminating Party may not exercise such termination right until the earlier of:
(a) the Outside Date; and (b) the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice by the Breaching
Party, if such matter has not been cured by such date; provided that if any matter is not capable of being cured by the Outside
Date, the Terminating Party may immediately exercise the applicable termination right. |
| (2) | If a Termination Notice is delivered prior to the date of the Adam Meeting or the Thor Meeting, unless
the Parties agree otherwise Adam and Thor, shall postpone or adjourn the Adam Meeting and the Thor Meeting, to the earlier of (i) ten
(10) Business Days prior to the Outside Date, and (ii) the date that is ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice
by the Breaching Party, with such date being agreed upon by the Parties so that the Adam Meeting and Thor Meeting will continue to be
held on the same date. |
| Section 5.10 | Insurance and Indemnification. |
| (1) | Prior to the Effective Date, Thor shall purchase customary “tail” policies of directors’
and officers’ liability insurance providing protection no less favourable in the aggregate to the protection provided by the policies
maintained by Thor and its Subsidiaries which are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date and providing protection in respect
of claims arising from facts or events which occurred on or prior to the Effective Date and Adam will, or will cause Thor and its Subsidiaries
to, maintain such “tail” policies in effect without any reduction in scope or coverage for six (6) years from the Effective
Date. |
| (2) | Adam-Thor agrees that from and after the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Law it shall honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation existing in favour of present and former employees, officers and directors
of Thor and its Subsidiaries, and acknowledges that such rights shall survive
the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not
less than six (6) years from the Effective Date. |
| (3) | For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Adam-Thor shall, (a) to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law indemnify and hold harmless each current and former employee, officer and director of Thor and its Subsidiaries
and each individual who serves or served at the request of Thor or any of its Subsidiaries as a representative of another Person (including
any employee benefit plan) (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect
to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts incurred by such Indemnitee in settlement
or compromise) and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any action (whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (i) the fact that an Indemnitee
is or was a director or officer of Thor or such Subsidiary or serves or has served at the request of Thor or such Subsidiary as a representative
of another Person (including any employee benefit plan) or (ii) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity
as an employee, director or officer of Thor or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of Thor or such Subsidiary (including in connection
with serving at the request of Thor or such Subsidiary as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan but
excluding always for the purposes of any indemnification under this Section 5.10(3), in relation to any UK defined benefit pension
arrangement)), in each case under clause (i) or (ii), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any action relating in
whole or in part to the Transactions or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification, advancement or reimbursement
right of any Indemnitee) and (b) assume all obligations of Thor and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification,
advancement and reimbursement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective
Time as provided in Thor’s or such Subsidiaries’ Constating Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Adam, for a period
of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the Constating Documents of Thor and
its Subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to exculpation from liability, indemnification
and advancement and reimbursement of expenses of directors or officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement
in such Constating |
| | | Documents, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect
the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees. |
| (4) | The provisions of this Section 5.10 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by,
each insured or indemnified Person, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives and, for such purpose, Thor hereby confirms
that it is acting as trustee on their behalf, without precluding enforcement by any such insured or indemnified person, and agrees to
enforce the provisions of this Section on their behalf. Furthermore, this Section 5.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
as a result of the occurrence of the Effective Date for a period of six (6) years. |
| Section 5.11 | Employment Matters. |
| (1) | Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, Adam covenants and agrees, and for twelve (12)
months after the Effective Time, Adam-Thor shall cause Thor and any successor to Thor to covenant and agree, to honour and comply in
all material respects with (a) the terms of all existing employment terms (including compensation and benefits) and severance
obligations existing at the Effective Time or to provide equivalent terms which are no less favourable in the aggregate to those
arrangements in place immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) all obligations (including any obligations that may result by
Law from the employment
of an employee without an express entitlement to termination notice, payment in lieu of such notice or severance) of Thor and its Subsidiaries
under the Thor Incentive Plans. |
| (2) | Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.11 to the contrary and subject to Section 5.11(3),
the terms of Section 5.11(1) shall not apply to: |
| (a) | any Thor Employee as of the Effective Time who is covered by a Collective Agreement, the terms and conditions
of employment of each such Thor Employee following the Effective Time shall continue be governed by the terms of the applicable Collective
Agreement and Adam-Thor shall cause Thor and any successor to Thor to covenant and agree, to honour and comply with the terms of such
Collective Agreement; |
| (b) | any Thor Benefit Plan or Adam Benefit Plan which is a defined benefit pension arrangement in any jurisdiction
(which shall continue to be governed by the governing terms of any such arrangement, as amended from time to time); or |
| (c) | any Thor Employee who joins the Adam-Thor Board after the Effective Time, provided that the terms
and conditions of employment of such individual following the Effective Time shall be in compliance with any applicable employment agreement
and any Adam-Thor directors’ remuneration policy approved by shareholders from time to time (or if outside the scope of any such
directors’ remuneration policy in force at the relevant time, Adam-Thor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the necessary
shareholder approvals and such terms and conditions of employment shall be in compliance with such shareholder approvals). |
| (3) | Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall prevent the Adam-Thor Board following the Effective Date from
enhancing existing employment terms and/or putting in place any arrangements it reasonably deems necessary and proportionate for the retention
or incentivisation of any personnel in connection (directly or indirectly) with the Transaction. |
| (4) | The provisions of this Section 5.11 and Section 5.12 below are solely for the benefit of the
parties to this Agreement, no current or former director, employee or other service provider or any other person shall be a third-party
beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall |
| | | be construed as an amendment to any Thor Benefit Plan, Adam Benefit Plan or other
compensation or Benefit Plan or arrangement for any purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Agreement shall obligate Thor, Adam or any of their respective affiliates to (a) maintain any particular Benefit Plan or (b) retain the
employment or services of any director, employee or other service provider. |
| (5) | Following the Effective Time, Adam-Thor shall not issue any Adam Shares in respect of Adam Incentive Awards
that were outstanding at any time at or prior to the Effective Time. |
| Section 5.12 | Benefit Plans. |
Adam and Thor agree to consider, discuss and
cooperate in order to determine any changes which may be required to any applicable Thor Benefit Plans or the Adam Benefit Plans or any
Statutory Plans as a result of the Arrangement. The Parties shall act in good faith in such discussions with a view towards using commercially
reasonable efforts to provide that the economic benefits to be received by Thor Employees from the Thor Benefit Plans and the Adam Employees
from the Adam Benefit Plans, as the case may be, are not materially increased or decreased as a result of the Transaction.
Where a Party (the “Requesting Party”)
requires the consent of the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) pursuant to any covenant set out in Section 5.1
to Section 5.3, the request for consent shall be made by the Requesting Party in writing (which may be by email) to:
| (a) | in the case of Adam, each of the individuals listed in Schedule 5.13; and |
| (b) | in the case of Thor, each of the individuals listed in Schedule 5.13; |
and shall include (a) reasonable detail to enable
the Receiving Party to understand the nature and scope of the request for consent, and (b) reference to the relevant covenant(s) to which
the consent request relates. The Requesting Party shall provide such additional information in relation to the request for consent as
the Receiving Party reasonably requests. The Receiving Party shall act reasonably and in good faith in relation to any consent request
and shall, as far as practicable, seek to provide a response in relation to the request within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the
request (or, if another reasonable period for responding to such request is specified in this Agreement, such other period). Whenever
a provision of this Agreement requires an approval or consent of a Party and such approval or consent is not delivered in writing within
the applicable time limit, then, unless otherwise specified, the Party whose consent or approval is required shall be conclusively deemed
to have withheld its approval or consent.
| Section 5.14 | Covenants Relating to the Exchangeable Shares. |
| (1) | Adam and Thor shall, as soon as practicable and in any event not more than thirty (30) days following
the execution of this Agreement, prepare and agree to: (a) the Exchangeable Share Provisions and the ExchangeCo Deferred Share Provisions,
each with the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions substantially as set forth in Schedule 5.14 and otherwise acceptable
to Thor and Adam, each acting reasonably; and (b) the forms of the Exchangeable Share Support Agreement, the Voting and Exchange Trust
Agreement and the HoldCo Waiver, each substantially on the terms set forth in Schedule 5.14 and acceptable to Thor and Adam, each acting
reasonably. Without limitation of the foregoing, during such thirty (30) day period Adam and Thor may each propose and, if proposed, shall
consider in good faith, alternative exchangeable structures, including structures involving Adam issuing special voting shares in lieu
of issuing Adam Shares to HoldCo. |
| (2) | Adam shall, and where appropriate, shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (including ExchangeCo and CallCo,
once established) to: |
| (a) | at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, incorporate and organize each of (i)
ExchangeCo under the Laws of Canada, with an authorised capital consisting of the Exchangeable Shares (with the Exchangeable Share Provisions)
and the ExchangeCo Deferred Shares (with the ExchangeCo Deferred Share Provisions), and (ii) CallCo under the Laws of Canada with an authorised
capital consisting of the CallCo shares (with rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions that are consistent with the Exchangeable
Share Provisions and the ExchangeCo Deferred Share Provisions), each in a manner acceptable to Thor, acting reasonably; |
| (b) | at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, procure the incorporation of a company
incorporated under the laws of, and tax resident in, the Isle of Jersey (“HoldCo”) whose sole shareholder shall be
a trust established under the laws of the Isle of Jersey, in a manner acceptable to Thor, acting reasonably; |
| (c) | prior to the Effective Time, (i) execute and deliver, in escrow (to be released at the time specified
in the Plan of Arrangement), the Exchangeable Share Support Agreement; and (ii) execute and deliver, and procure that HoldCo shall execute
and deliver, in escrow (to be released at the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement), the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement; |
| (d) | prior to the Effective Time, procure that HoldCo shall execute and deliver, in escrow (to be released
at the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement), the HoldCo Waiver; |
| (e) | until the Effective Time, except as contemplated by the Arrangement, own all of the outstanding capital
shares of ExchangeCo (for greater certainty, other than the Exchangeable Consideration Shares) and CallCo; |
| (f) | ensure that ExchangeCo will be a “taxable Canadian corporation” within the meaning of the
Tax Act and that CallCo will be treated as an entity whose separate existence from Adam is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
and |
| (g) | ensure that the Exchangeable Shares, the ExchangeCo Deferred Share and the CallCo shares to be issued
in the Arrangement will be duly and validly issued by ExchangeCo and by CallCo, as applicable, and fully paid and nonassessable, not subject
to or issued in violation of pre-emptive rights and free and clear of any Lien; and |
| (h) | except for any action required or contemplated under
this Agreement (including the Plan of Arrangement and the Pre-Closing Reorganization), not take any action which could reasonably be expected
to prevent the exchange of Thor Shares for consideration that includes Exchangeable Consideration Shares under the Arrangement by Eligible
Holders in the Plan of Arrangement from being treated as a tax-deferred transaction for purposes of the Tax Act if such holders are otherwise
eligible for such treatment. |
| (3) | During the thirty (30) day period following the execution of this Agreement, but prior to the date that
the Interim Order is received by the Parties, Adam and Thor may each propose, and if proposed, shall each consider in good faith, alternative
structures under the Plan of Arrangement to implement the Transactions (including structures involving the creation of new classes of
shares at Thor, amalgamations, reorganizations of capital, etc.). |
| Section 5.15 | Canadian Tax Matters. |
| (1) | Where an Eligible Holder that receives Exchangeable Shares under the Arrangement desires to so elect,
Adam shall cause ExchangeCo to comply with its obligations to make a joint election with such Thor Shareholder in respect of its disposition
of its Thor Shares pursuant to Section 85 of the Tax Act (and any similar provision of any applicable provincial Tax Laws) in accordance
with the procedures and within the time limits set out in the Plan of Arrangement. The agreed amount under such joint elections shall
be determined by each such Thor Shareholder in his or her sole discretion within the limits set out in the Tax Act (and any similar provision
of any applicable provincial Tax Laws). |
| (2) | During the Interim Period: |
| (a) | subject to Section 5.15(2)(b) and Section 5.15(2)(c), Adam and Thor shall, and where appropriate, shall
each cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with each other and use their best efforts to minimize any applicable Taxes under the Tax Act
in respect of investments
made by Thor or Thor Subsidiaries resulting from the Transactions, including by, among other things, making such tax elections (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, elections under paragraph 212.3(11)(c) or subsections 212.3(3) or (7) of the Tax Act) and taking such steps
as may reasonably be determined applicable by the Parties; |
| (b) | in connection with any proposed investments by Thor or its Subsidiaries that (i) are made in the Ordinary
Course, provided for the purposes of this provision “Ordinary Course” includes any investments which are required or not prohibited
under this Agreement, including investments disclosed in the Thor CapEx Plan or relating to the funding of any such investments,
or (ii) are in aggregate less than [Redacted: Dollar value.] in any calendar year, Thor shall make reasonable efforts to avoid any such
investment(s) that it reasonably believes will result in Thor being deemed to have paid a dividend pursuant to section 212.3 of the Tax
Act or in the Thor Shares deriving more than [Redacted: Percentage.] of their fair market value from shares of foreign affiliates of Thor
(all within the meaning of paragraph 212.3(10)(f) of the Tax Act); |
| (c) | in connection with any proposed investments that are not described in Section 5.15(2)(b), but including
any investments described in the second bullet of Section 5.1, Item 1(b)(xix) of the Thor Disclosure Letter involving the receivable owing
by Teck Chile: |
| (i) | Thor shall not make such investments (other than an investment that is reasonably required to preserve
the value of any material asset in response to, appropriately and prudently, addressing or responding to any natural or man-made emergencies,
disasters, calamities or similar events) if they would reasonably be expected (including as determined without reference to subsections
212.3(3) and (7) of the Tax Act) to result in Thor being deemed to have paid a dividend pursuant to section 212.3 of the Tax Act, without
reasonably consulting with Adam and giving reasonable consideration to any comments provided by Adam in advance of making any such proposed
investment; and |
| (ii) | if Thor proposes to make any such investments (other than an investment that is reasonably required to
preserve the value of any material asset in response to, appropriately and prudently, addressing or responding to any natural or man-made
emergencies, disasters, calamities or similar events) |
| | | and would reasonably be expected to result in the Thor Shares deriving more than
[Redacted: Percentage.] of their fair market value from shares of foreign affiliates of Thor (determined without reference to debt obligations
of any corporation resident in Canada in which Thor has a direct or indirect interest) that are held directly or indirectly by Thor (all
within the meaning of paragraph 212.3(10)(f) of the Tax Act), Thor shall reasonably consult with Adam and give reasonable consideration
to any comments provided by Adam in advance of taking any such steps or making any such investments; |
| (d) | Thor shall provide Adam with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon drafts of any election
proposed to be made in accordance with section 212.3 of the Tax Act and shall give reasonable consideration to all such comments; and |
| (e) | in this Section 5.15(2), the term “investment” (or “investments”) has the meaning
ascribed to the term “investment” for purposes of section 212.3 of the Tax Act. |
| Section 5.16 | Pre-Closing Reorganization. |
The Parties agree to, and shall cause their
respective Representatives to, cooperate in good faith to (a) determine any reorganizations of the corporate structure, capital structure,
business, operations or assets of Thor or Adam and their respective Subsidiaries during the Interim Period that may be reasonably necessary
or advisable to give effect to the Transactions (each a “Pre-Closing Reorganization”); (b) determine and agree on the
manner in which any Pre-Closing Reorganization might most effectively be undertaken; and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to effect
such Pre-Closing Reorganization in such manner (including preparing all documentation necessary and doing all such other acts and things
as are reasonably necessary to effect such Pre-Closing Reorganization as agreed between the Parties); provided that any Pre-Closing
Reorganization: (i) shall not be prejudicial to any Party or its securityholders in any material respect; (ii) shall not require any Party
to obtain the approval of its shareholders; (iii) shall not impair, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Arrangement; (iv)
shall not result in any breach by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Material Contract, Arrangement Resolution, Constating Documents
or applicable Law; (v) shall not result in additional Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, any securityholder
of any Party; (vi) and activities in furtherance thereof shall not unreasonably interfere with the Ordinary Course, operations and activities
of a Party or its Subsidiaries, and (vii) shall not be consummated until at or immediately prior to the Effective Time. Additionally,
the failure of any Party to comply with this Section 5.16 shall not give rise to the failure of a condition precedent set forth in
Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as applicable, or a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(1)(c)(ii)
or Section 8.2(1)(d)(ii), as applicable.
| Section 5.17 | Financing Cooperation. |
The Parties agree to, and to use commercially
reasonable efforts to cause their respective Representatives (including counsel, financial advisors and auditors) to, cooperate in good
faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the applicable Party with obtaining any financing or re-financing arrangements
entered or to be entered into in connection with the Arrangement (including for purposes of declaring or paying the Adam Special Dividend
pursuant to Section 5.3(5)), amendments to the terms of the applicable Adam Existing Indebtedness, Thor Existing Indebtedness, compliance
with or modifications to or waivers of the provisions of any Adam Indebtedness or Thor Indebtedness and/or the retirement, redemption,
satisfaction and discharge of any Thor Indebtedness (collectively, the “Financing Arrangements”), including, to the
extent reasonably requested in good faith by or on behalf of the applicable Party and agreed to in accordance with this Section 5.17
to use commercially reasonable efforts with respect to: (a) furnishing such Party with reasonable and customary financial and other information
regarding the other Party and its Subsidiaries that is
necessary in connection with such Financing
Arrangement, (b) facilitating the pledging of collateral in connection with the Financing Arrangements, including facilitating the
execution and delivery of any customary collateral documents and other customary certificates and documents as may be reasonably
requested by such Party, (c) participating in meetings, drafting sessions, rating agency presentations and due diligence sessions at
reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice, (d) assisting such Party and its financing sources with the preparation of
reasonable and customary bank information memoranda and other marketing and rating agency materials for the Financing Arrangements,
(e) cooperating with such Party to obtain customary corporate and facilities ratings, including for the other Party and the
Financing Arrangements, and (f) obtaining any customary payoff letters, redemption notices, releases of liens and instruments of
termination or discharge in each case in accordance with the Adam Existing Indebtedness or Thor Existing Indebtedness, as
applicable; provided, however, that (i) such requested cooperation or Financing Arrangements shall not materially
impede, delay or prevent the consummation of the Arrangement or unreasonably interfere with ordinary course business, operations and
activities of the Party or its Subsidiaries providing such cooperation and in the case of each of clauses (b) and (f), such
requested cooperation shall not be required if such action is not contingent or effective upon the closing of the Arrangement
occurring; and (ii) the failure of any Party to comply with this Section 5.17 shall not give rise to the failure of a condition
precedent set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as applicable, or a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.2(1)(c)(ii) or Section 8.2(1)(d)(ii). The foregoing notwithstanding, none of Adam, Thor, any of their respective
Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives shall be required to take or permit the taking of any action pursuant to
this Section 5.17 without the consent of such Party that: (i) if requested by Adam, would require Thor or its Subsidiaries or
any of its or their respective Representatives, or if requested by Thor, would require Adam or its Subsidiaries or any of its or
their respective Representatives to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of any Financing Arrangement
or enter into, execute or deliver any certificate, document, opinion, instrument or agreement or agree to any change or modification
of any existing certificate, document, opinion, instrument or agreement, in each case that are not conditioned on the occurrence of
the Effective Time (other than the execution of customary authorization letters in connection with the obligations set forth above; provided
that any action will only be required of the directors, members, partners, managers or officers of Thor and its Subsidiaries or Adam
and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, who retain (or are appointed to) their respective positions as of and following the
Arrangement), (ii) would cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached by Adam, Thor or any of their
respective Subsidiaries, (iii) would require Adam, Thor or any of their respective Subsidiaries to pay any commitment or other
similar fee or incur any other expense, liability or obligation in connection with any Financing Arrangement prior to the Effective
Time or have any obligation of Adam, Thor or any of their respective Subsidiaries under any agreement, certificate, document or
instrument be effective until the Effective Time, (iv) would cause any director, officer or employee or stockholder of Adam, Thor or
any of their respective Subsidiaries to incur any personal liability, (v) would conflict with any Constating Document of Adam, Thor
or their respective Subsidiaries or any Law, (vi) would reasonably be expected to result in a material violation or breach of (with
or without notice, lapse of time or both) any Material Contract to which Adam, Thor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a
party, (vii) would require Adam, Thor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to provide
access to or disclose information that Adam, Thor or any of their respective Subsidiaries determines would jeopardize any
attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege of Adam, Thor or any of their respective Subsidiaries
(provided that Adam or Thor, as applicable, shall allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that such access
or disclosure would not jeopardize any such attorney-client, work product privilege or other applicable privilege), or (viii) would
require Adam, Thor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to prepare any financial
statements that are not available to Adam or Thor and prepared in the ordinary course of its financial reporting practice. Nothing
contained in this Section 5.17 or otherwise shall require (x) Thor or any of its Subsidiaries to be an issuer or other obligor
with respect to any Financing Arrangement or any Adam Existing Indebtedness or (y) Adam or any of its Subsidiaries, to be an issuer
or other obligor with respect to any Financing Arrangement or
any Thor Existing Indebtedness, in each case, prior to the Effective
Time. In connection with any cooperation pursuant to this Section 5.17, the Party requesting such cooperation (the
“Cooperation Requesting Party”) of the other Party (the “Cooperating Party”) shall (A)
promptly upon request, reimburse the Cooperating Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Cooperating Party or
its Representatives in connection with such cooperation and (B) indemnify and hold harmless the Cooperating Party and its
Representatives from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of any Financing
Arrangement or any action taken by them in each case at the request of the Cooperation Requesting Party pursuant to this Section
5.17 and any information used in connection therewith, except in the case of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), to the extent such
costs or losses arise out of or result from the willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of the Cooperating Party or its
Representatives.
| Section 5.18 | Thor Catch-Up Dividend. |
No later than fifteen (15) Business Days
prior to the estimated ASD Deadline, Adam and Thor shall determine whether the Adam Special Dividend Amount would be zero as of such
estimated ASD Deadline (such determination, a “Zero ASD Conclusion”) or a negative number as of such estimated
ASD Deadline but for the proviso included in the definition thereof (such determination, a “Negative ASD
Conclusion”, and, (i) the absolute value of such negative number divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor, the “Thor
Catch-Up Dividend Amount”). If the ASD Deadline does not occur on the ASD Deadline assumed for any determination made
pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the process referred to in the preceding sentence shall be repeated on a rolling basis no
later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to each potential ASD Deadline. If Adam and Thor make a Zero ASD Conclusion or Negative
ASD Conclusion, then:
(1) Section 5.3(5) shall not apply
for so long as the Zero ASD Conclusion or Negative ASD Conclusion applies; and
(2) in the event of a Negative ASD Conclusion,
no earlier than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the estimated Effective Date, Thor shall declare and pay an aggregate dividend (the
“Thor Catch-Up Dividend”) equal to the Thor Catch-Up Dividend Amount to Thor shareholders, provided that if Thor is
unable to legally declare and pay the full amount of the Thor Catch-Up Dividend, then: (x) the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts
to work together to implement arrangements to remedy such inability, which may include a loan from Adam or its Subsidiaries to Thor (which
Thor shall be required to accept if such loan is made immediately prior to such closing and remedies such inability such that the closing
of the Arrangement occurs relatively contemporaneously with such loan), and (y) Thor shall have the right to deliver a written notice
to Adam (a “Thor Postponement Notice”) exercising the right set forth in Section 2.11. The Thor Catch-Up Dividend shall
have a record date prior to the Effective Date (notwithstanding that such dividend may be paid after the Effective Date to the Thor Shareholders
as at such record date) and a payment date before the Effective Date or within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary (other than the obligation of the Parties as set forth in the preceding clause (x)), in connection
with the payment of the Thor Catch-Up Dividend, Thor shall be entitled to incur such indebtedness for borrowed money as necessary for
it to be able to pay the Thor Catch-Up Dividend. Thor covenants and agrees that it will,
during the Interim Period, not take or permit any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives to take any action that would cause the
declaration or payment of the Thor Catch-Up Dividend to constitute a dividend that cannot be legally declared and paid under applicable
law.
Article 6
Covenants
Regarding Non-Solicitation
| Section 6.1 | Non-Solicitation. |
| (1) | Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 6, during the Interim Period, each Party shall
not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, representative (including any financial or other advisor) or agent
of such Party or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Representatives”): |
| (a) | solicit, assist, initiate, knowingly encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate any inquiries, proposals
or offers that constitute or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal; |
| (b) | enter into, engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person
(other than the other Party and its Representatives) in respect of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be
expected to constitute or lead to an Acquisition Proposal, provided that, a Party may: |
| (i) | advise any Person of the existence of, and restrictions under, this Agreement; |
| (ii) | communicate with any Person for the purposes of clarifying the terms of any inquiry, proposal or offer
made by such Person (including with respect to an Acquisition Proposal), provided that a summary of such communication is subsequently
provided to the other Party; and |
| (iii) | advise any Person making an Acquisition Proposal that the board of directors of the Party has determined
that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior Proposal; |
| (c) | announce (other than in the circumstances set out in Section 6.6(1) or Section 6.6(3)), accept,
approve, endorse, give any consent or make any request in relation to or recommend, or propose publicly to accept, approve, endorse, give
any consent or make any request in relation to or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; |
| (d) | accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any agreement (other than a confidentiality
and standstill agreement as contemplated by Section 6.3) providing for any Acquisition Proposal; or |
| (e) | make a Thor Change in Recommendation or an Adam Change in Recommendation, as applicable. |
| (2) | Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause
to be terminated any existing solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any Person (other than the other Party and its
Representatives) conducted by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any
inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal and, in connection
therewith, such Party will discontinue access to and disclosure of any of its confidential information, including any data room and access
to properties, facilities, books and records of such Party of any of its Subsidiaries, to any such Person or any other Person (other than
the other Party and its Representatives) and request the return or destruction of all copies of any confidential information regarding
such Party or any of its Subsidiaries provided to any Person (other than the other Party and its Representatives) since January 1, 2025
in respect of a possible Acquisition Proposal. |
| (3) | Each Party covenants and agrees not to release, and cause its Subsidiaries not to release, any Person
from, or waive, amend, suspend or otherwise modify such Person’s obligations to such Party or its Subsidiaries under any confidentiality,
standstill, non-disclosure, use, business purpose or similar agreement or covenant to which such Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a
party, without the prior written consent of the other Party (it being acknowledged by both Parties that the automatic termination or release
of any standstill restrictions of any such agreements as a result of entering into and announcing this Agreement shall not be a violation
of this Section 6.1(3)), and provided that if, at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior, in the case of
Adam, to obtaining the Adam Shareholder Approval, or in the case of Thor, to obtaining the Thor Shareholder Approval, in response to an
unsolicited request from a third party to waive any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or covenant, the board of directors
of such Party determines in good faith, after consultation with its legal advisors that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent
with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, such Party may waive any such confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or covenant
solely to the extent necessary to permit a third party to make an Acquisition Proposal, on a confidential basis, to the board of such
Party. |
| Section 6.2 | Notification of Acquisition Proposals. |
If a Party or any of its Representatives receives
any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, or
any request in connection with any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead
to, an Acquisition Proposal for copies of, access to, or disclosure of, confidential information relating to such Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or Key Joint Ventures, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party, at first orally, and then promptly (and in any event
within twenty-four (24) hours) in writing, of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including a description
of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and the identity of all Persons
making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request and shall provide the other Party with copies of any material agreements,
documents or correspondence (if not delivered in writing or electronic form, then by way of a description of the material terms of the
matters communicated), in respect thereof, from or on behalf of any such Persons.
| Section 6.3 | Responding to an Acquisition Proposal. |
| (1) | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, if at any time following the date of this
Agreement and prior, in the case of Adam, to obtaining the Adam Shareholder Approval, or in the case of Thor, to obtaining the Thor Shareholder
Approval, a Party receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from an arm’s-length Person that did not
result from a breach of this Article 6 or any Person or group of Persons (other than the other Party or any affiliate or joint actor
of the other Party) announces such an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal in respect of a Party that did not result from
a breach of this Article 6, that Party (x) may engage in or participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person regarding
such Acquisition Proposal, and (y) may provide copies of, access to or disclosure of information, properties, facilities, books or records
of such Party or its Subsidiaries, if and only if: |
| (a) | the Thor Board or the Adam Board, as applicable, determines, in good faith after consultation with its
financial and legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, a
Superior Proposal; |
| (b) | such Party has been, and continues to be, in material compliance with its obligations under Article 6; |
| (c) | prior to providing any such copies, access or disclosures, such Party first enters into a confidentiality
and standstill agreement with such Person (or confirms it has previously entered into such an agreement which remains in effect) on terms
that (i) are not materially less restrictive to such Person and its affiliates or representatives than the confidentiality, non-use and
standstill restrictions set forth in the Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement (provided that nothing in such agreement shall
be required to prevent such Person from making an Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal), (ii) do not contain any provision calling
for an exclusive right to negotiate with such Party, and (iii) do not restrict such Party or any of its Subsidiaries from complying with
this Article 6; |
| (d) | before providing any such copies, access or disclosure, such Party provides the other Party with a true,
complete and final executed copy of the confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.3(1)(c); and |
| (e) | such Party provides to the other Party a list of the information provided to such Person and, to the extent
not already provided to the other Party, the other Party is immediately provided
with access to the same information to which such Person was provided or is thereafter provided. |
| (2) | The applicable Party shall keep the other Party fully informed of all material developments and negotiations
with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request, including any material changes, modifications or other
amendments to any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding interim drafts
of any agreement exchanged), and shall provide to the other Party copies of all material correspondence if in writing or electronic form,
and if not in writing or electronic form, a description of the material terms of such correspondence communicated to the applicable Party
by or on behalf of any Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, offer or request. |
| Section 6.4 | Superior Proposals. |
| (1) | If a Party receives an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal or any Person or group
of Persons (other than the other Party or any affiliate or joint actor of the other Party) announces such an Acquisition Proposal in respect
of such Party prior, in the case of Adam, to obtaining the Adam Shareholder Approval, or in the case of Thor, to obtaining the Thor Shareholder
Approval, such Party may (x) make a Change in Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal and/or (y) terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.2(1)(c)(iii) [Adam Superior Proposal Termination] (in Adam’s case) or Section 8.2(1)(d)(iii)
[Thor Superior Proposal Termination] (in Thor’s case) (each of (x) and (y), a “Superior Proposal Action”),
in each case, if and only prior to such Superior Proposal Action: |
| (a) | the board of directors of the Party determines, in good faith after consultation with its outside financial
and legal advisors, that the Acquisition Proposal received by such Party constitutes a Superior Proposal and the failure by the relevant
Party’s board of directors to take such Superior Proposal Action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties; |
| (b) | such Party has been, and continues to be, in material compliance with its obligations under Article 6; |
| (c) | such Party has provided the other Party with a notice in writing (x) that there is a Superior Proposal;
(y) confirming the determination by such Party’s board of directors |
| | | of the value and financial terms that such board of directors,
in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, has determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such
Superior Proposal; and (z) enclosing all documentation related to and detailing the Superior Proposal, including a copy of any agreement
relating to such Superior Proposal and all supporting materials and related agreements or documents (including any financing documents
supplied to such Party in connection therewith); |

date the other Party received the notice and all of the documentation referred to in Section 6.4(1)(c) from such Party; |

with Section 6.4(2), to offer to amend the terms of the Transaction and this Agreement in order for such Acquisition Proposal to
cease to be a Superior Proposal; and |
| (f) | if the other Party has proposed to amend the terms of the Arrangement and the Transaction in accordance
with Section 6.4(2), such Party’s board of directors shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial
and legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement
and the Transaction by the other Party. |
| (2) | During the Response Period or such longer period as such Party may approve for such purpose, the other
Party shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of the Transaction and this Agreement and if the
other Party proposes to amend the terms of the Transaction and this Agreement: (a) the Thor Board or the Adam Board, as applicable, shall,
in good faith and in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, review any proposal by the other Party to amend the terms of
the Transaction and this Agreement; and (b) such Party such shall negotiate, and cause its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith
with the other Party to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction as would enable the other Party to proceed
with the Transactions on such amended terms. |
| (3) | If the Thor Board or the Adam Board, as applicable, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors,
determines that an Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal has ceased to be a Superior Proposal as compared to
the proposed amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Transaction: (a) such Party will promptly so advise the other Party; (b)
the Parties shall amend this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement to reflect such offer made by the other Party, and shall take and cause
to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing; and (c) the Thor Board or the Adam Board, as applicable,
shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day following the effectiveness of any such amendment) reaffirm the Thor Board
Recommendation or the Adam Board Recommendation, as applicable, by press release, and such Party shall provide the other Party and its
legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall give reasonable consideration
to such amendments to such press release requested by the other Party and its legal counsel. |
| (4) | Each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or a modification
to, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by a Party or its shareholders or other material terms or conditions
thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Article 6, and the other Party shall be afforded a new
Response Period in respect of each such Acquisition Proposal from the date on which such Party received the received the notice and documentation
referred to in Section 6.4(1)(c) in respect of such new Acquisition Proposal. |
| Section 6.5 | Shareholder Meetings. |
| (1) | Unless this Agreement has been terminated by any Party in accordance with Article 8, such Party shall
cause the Adam Meeting or the Thor Meeting, as applicable, to occur and the Adam Resolution (and the Adam Name Change Resolution and,
if applicable, the Adam Remuneration Resolution) or the Arrangement Resolution, as applicable, to be voted upon by the Adam Shareholders
or the Thor Shareholders thereat in accordance with this Agreement, and such Party shall not submit to a vote of its shareholders any
Acquisition Proposal other than the Adam Resolution, the Adam Name Change Resolution, the Adam Remuneration Resolution (if applicable)
or the Arrangement Resolution, as applicable, or any resolution to amend, cancel, revoke or withdraw the Adam Resolution, the Adam Name
Change Resolution, the Adam Remuneration Resolution (if applicable) or the Arrangement Resolution, as applicable, prior to the termination
of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. |
| (2) | If a Party notifies the other Party that it intends to make a Change in Recommendation in accordance with
Section 6.4(1) on a date that is less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Thor Meeting or the Adam Meeting, as applicable,
then (a) such Party shall, if requested by the other Party, adjourn the Thor Meeting or the Adam Meeting, as applicable, to a date that
is fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of such notice, and (b) the requesting Party shall adjourn the Thor Meeting or the Adam Meeting,
as applicable, to the same date as the Thor Meeting or Adam Meeting, as applicable, scheduled pursuant to the foregoing clause (a); provided,
however, that neither the Thor Meeting nor the Adam Meeting shall be adjourned or postponed to a date later than the tenth (10th)
Business Day prior to the Outside Date. |
| (3) | For the avoidance of doubt, approval of the Adam Name Change Resolution or the Adam Remuneration Resolution
by Adam Shareholders shall not be a condition to complete the Arrangement. |
| Section 6.6 | Subsidiaries; Compliance with Law; Other Matters. |
| (1) | Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Thor Board or Adam Board from making any disclosure to any
securityholders of such Party prior to the Effective Time, if, in the good faith judgment of the Thor Board or Adam Board, as applicable,
after consultation with its legal advisors, failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the Thor Board’s or Adam
Board’s exercise of its fiduciary duties or is otherwise required under applicable Law or pursuant to a Contract of such Party existing
as of the date hereof, provided that any such disclosure that would constitute an Adam Change in Recommendation or Thor Change
in Recommendation shall be made only in compliance with Section 6.4. |
| (2) | Each Party shall ensure that its Subsidiaries and Representatives are aware of the provisions of this
Article 6, and, notwithstanding Section 5.1(3) and Section 5.3(3), as applicable, each Party shall be responsible for any
breach of this Article 6 by its Subsidiaries or Representatives who (a) are directors, officers or employees, or (b) are acting at
the direction of such Party and any breach of this Article 6 by a Party’s Subsidiaries or such Representatives is deemed to
be a breach of this Article 6 by such Party. |
| (3) | To the extent that compliance by Adam with any
of its obligations under this Article 6 would result, or could reasonably be expected to result, in any breach of the Market Abuse
Regulation or the City Code without such a cleansing announcement having been released (in each case a “Possible Non-compliance
Event”), Adam shall as promptly as practicable (and in any |
| | | event within two (2) Business Days of becoming aware of the Possible Non-compliance Event) release a cleansing announcement via a
Regulatory Information Service in such form as would be required to enable it to comply with its obligations under this Article 6
in full. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Adam from complying with its obligations under the City Code or an express requirement
of the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Panel”). Unless expressly prohibited by the Panel, the City Code, law or
regulation from doing so, Adam shall inform Thor of any such obligation or requirement as soon as practicable. |

If Thor or Adam (as the case may be) is required by applicable Laws to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payment of a Payment, Thor
or Adam (as the case may be) shall make such required deductions or withholdings, and Thor or Adam (as the case may be) shall remit the
full amount deducted or withheld to the appropriate Tax Authority in accordance with applicable Laws. To the extent that such amounts
are remitted to the relevant Tax Authority in accordance with applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this
Agreement and the Arrangement as having been paid to the Person to whom the relevant portion of the Payment would otherwise have been
provided and the obligation to provide the Payment shall be treated as discharged to the same extent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Thor
and Adam (as the case may be) shall provide the applicable payee of the Payment with notice of its intent to withhold at least ten (10)
days prior to making such Payment, and Thor and Adam shall each cooperate in good faith to mitigate any such withholding in a manner consistent
with applicable Law. |

this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Thor fails to promptly
pay any Thor Termination Payment due pursuant to Section 8.3(4) or Adam fails to promptly pay any Adam Termination Payment due pursuant
to Section 8.3(6) and, in order to obtain such Payment, Adam or Thor, as applicable, commences any action, suit, litigation or other
legal proceeding that results in a judgment against Thor for the Thor Termination Payment or any portion thereof, or Adam for the Adam
Termination Payment or any portion thereof, Thor will pay to Adam (or as directed by Adam) or Adam will pay to Thor (or as directed by
Thor), as the case may be, its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’
fees) in connection with such action, suit, litigation or other legal proceeding, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof
at the annual rate of five percent (5%) plus the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date that
such payment or portion thereof was required to be made through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or
a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by applicable Law. |
| (10) | 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 Thor
and Adam 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 Thor or Adam is entitled to
an Adam Termination Payment or a Thor Termination Payment, as applicable (but subject to each Party’s right prior to such termination
of this Agreement to obtain an order of specific performance in accordance with Section 9.3), and such Payment (plus any interest,
VAT and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.3(9) or Section 8.3(11), as applicable to Thor or Adam, the “Applicable
Payment Cap”) is paid in full, Thor or Adam and such Party’s Related Parties (as defined below), as the case may be, shall
be precluded from any other remedy against
the other Party or any of such other Party’s Related Parties at Law, in equity, in Contract or otherwise (including, without limitation,
an order for specific performance) (other than in the event of Fraud or Willful Breach), and shall not (other than in the event of Fraud
or Willful Breach) seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages,
against the other Party or any of its affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers,
members, securityholders or other Representatives (the foregoing Persons with respect to any Party, collectively, the “Related
Parties” of such Party) in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions; provided that nothing in this Agreement
shall relieve any Party from liability for Fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement by any Party or its Representatives. |
| (11) | Thor and Adam anticipate, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure, that any Payments are
not and shall not be treated as consideration for a taxable supply for the purposes of any value added tax or other similar Tax (“VAT”).
If, however, a Payment is determined by any Tax Authority to be consideration in whole or part for a taxable supply for VAT purposes and
the Party receiving the Payment (the “Payee”) or an affiliate of the Payee is required to account for VAT in respect
of that supply, then the Party making the Payment shall, subject to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice or other confirmation of payment
or assessment of such VAT in respect of that supply, pay to the Payee on demand an amount equal to such VAT together with any interest
or penalties incurred by the Payee in connection therewith, provided that in the event that any amounts paid in respect of such
VAT are subsequently refunded to the Payee, the Payee shall promptly reimburse the Party making the Payment for any amount refunded to
the Payee in connection with such VAT (net of any reasonable costs of recovery). |
Subject to the provisions of the Interim Order,
the Plan of Arrangement and applicable Laws, this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before
or after the holding of the Thor Meeting or the Adam 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 Thor Shareholders or Adam Shareholders, and any such amendment
may, subject to the Interim Order and the Final Order and applicable Law, without limitation:
| (a) | change the time for performance of any of the obligations or acts of the Parties; |
| (b) | waive any inaccuracies or modify any representation or warranty contained herein or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto; |
| (c) | waive compliance with or modify any of the covenants herein contained and waive or modify performance
of any of the obligations of the Parties; and |
| (d) | waive compliance with or modify any mutual conditions precedent herein contained. |
Any Party may (a) extend the time for the performance
of any of the obligations or acts of the other Party, (b) waive compliance, except as provided herein, with any of the other Party’s
agreements or the fulfilment of any conditions to its own obligations contained herein, or (c) waive inaccuracies in any of the other
Party’s representations or warranties contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Party; provided, however,
that any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party and, unless
otherwise provided in the written waiver, will be limited to the specific breach or condition waived.

the Province of Ontario and the Laws of Canada applicable therein. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably (i) attorns 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 or the
Transaction (except to the extent set forth in Section 9.2(b)), (ii) agrees that any action, dispute, litigation or other legal proceeding
between any Party or any director or officer thereof and the other Party or any director or officer thereof arising from or relating to
this Agreement or the Transaction shall be governed by this Section 9.2(a) and brought before the Commercial List of the Superior
Court of Justice (Ontario), and (iii) waives any defences to the maintenance of any such action, dispute, litigation or other proceeding
in the courts of the Province of Ontario. |
| (b) | Notwithstanding Section 9.2(a), each of the Parties hereby irrevocably (i) attorns to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia in respect of matters relating solely to the implementation of the Arrangement
(including the seeking of, hearing and obtainment of the Interim Order and Final Order and any related matters, but excluding all matters
addressed by Section 9.2(a)) and (ii) waives any defences to the maintenance of an action in such courts in respect of the foregoing. |
| Section 9.3 | Injunctive Relief. |
Subject to Section 8.3, 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, subject to Section 8.3, 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. Subject to Section 8.3, 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. To the extent any Party brings any action
or other legal proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement when expressly available
to such Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (i)(A) the amount of time during
which such action or other legal proceeding is pending, plus (B) twenty (20) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established
by the court presiding over such action, dispute, litigation or other legal proceeding.
| Section 9.4 | Third-Party Beneficiaries. |
The Parties intend that this Agreement will
not benefit or create any right or cause of action in favour of any Person, other than the Parties and that no Person, other than the
Parties, shall be entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any action, suit, proceeding, hearing or other forum, except
as provided in Section 5.10 [Insurance and Indemnification] which, without limiting its terms, is intended as stipulations
for the irrevocable benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the third Persons mentioned in such provisions.
| Section 9.5 | Entire Agreement, Binding Effect and Assignment. |
This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules
hereto) and the Confidentiality and Standstill 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 and,
except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the Parties any
rights or remedies hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by
any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Party.
No director or officer of Adam, in their capacity
as such, shall have any personal liability whatsoever to Thor or its affiliates under this Agreement, or any other document delivered
in connection with the Transactions hereby on behalf of Adam or any of its Subsidiaries. No director or officer of Thor, in their capacity
as such, shall have any personal liability whatsoever to Adam or its affiliates under this Agreement, or any other document delivered
in connection with the Transactions hereby on behalf of Thor or any of its Subsidiaries.
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 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 are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.
| Section 9.8 | 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 electronic copy of this Agreement, and such executed electronic copy
shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

| | | through 2.4(j) (inclusive), each issued and outstanding Thor Share
(other than Exchangeable Elected Shares, Thor Shares held by Adam or any of its affiliates, and, for greater
certainty, Dissenting Thor Shares held by a Dissenting Thor Shareholder described in Section 5.1(a)(i)), shall be transferred by the
relevant Thor Shareholder of such Thor Shares to, and acquired by, ExchangeCo solely in exchange for the allotment and issue of the Adam
Consideration Shares in respect of such Thor Share by Adam pursuant to its undertaking provided in Section 2.4(b)(iv), and |
| (i) | in partial satisfaction of its undertaking provided in Section 2.4(b)(iv), Adam shall allot and issue
the Adam Consideration Shares to the relevant Thor Shareholders in accordance with Article 4; |
| (ii) | each Thor Shareholder of each such Thor Share shall cease to be the holder of each such Thor Share and
to have any rights as a holder of each such Thor Share other than the right to the allotment and issue of the Adam Consideration Shares
to which such Thor Shareholder is entitled (and such Thor Shareholder shall be the legal and beneficial owner of such Adam Consideration

Shareholder to, and acquired by, ExchangeCo solely in exchange for the issue and delivery of the Exchangeable Consideration Shares in

| (i) | each Exchangeable Elected Shareholder shall cease to be the holder of each such Exchangeable Elected Share
and to have any rights as a holder of each such Exchangeable Elected Share other than the right to the delivery of the Exchangeable Consideration

owner of such Exchangeable Consideration Shares issued to such Exchangeable Elected Shareholder in this step), certain ancillary rights
receivable hereunder and the other rights as set out in Article 4; |
| (ii) | ExchangeCo shall be the legal and beneficial owner of each such Exchangeable Elected Share acquired by
ExchangeCo pursuant to this Section 2.4(d); and |
| (iii) | ExchangeCo shall add to the stated capital maintained in respect of the Exchangeable Shares an amount
equal to the aggregate “cost” to ExchangeCo of all of the Exchangeable Elected Shares acquired by ExchangeCo in this step,
as determined for purposes of the Tax Act (including under section 85 of the Tax Act, where applicable); |
| (e) | Exchangeable Share Matters. Simultaneously with the step set out in Section 2.4(c): |

by them under Section 2.4(d); |
| (f) | Thor Options: Simultaneously with the step set out in Section 2.4(c): |
| (i) | each Thor Option (whether vested or unvested) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will
be exchanged for a Thor Replacement Option over a number of Adam Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of Thor Shares subject
to the Thor Option immediately before the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, provided that if the foregoing
would result in the issuance or transfer of a fraction of an Adam Share on any particular exercise of Thor Replacement Options, then the
number of Adam Shares otherwise issued or transferred upon such exercise shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Adam Shares; |
| (ii) | the exercise price per Adam Share subject to any such Thor Replacement Option shall be an amount equal
to the quotient of (X) the exercise price per Thor Share under the exchanged Thor Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided
by (Y) the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). It is intended that the provisions of subsection 7(1.4) of the Tax
Act apply to the aforesaid exchange of Thor Options for Thor Replacement Options. Accordingly, and notwithstanding the foregoing, if required,
the exercise price of a Thor Replacement Option will be adjusted as necessary to ensure that the In-The-Money Amount of the Thor Replacement
Option immediately after such exchange does not exceed the In-The-Money Amount of the Thor Option immediately before such exchange; and |
| (iii) | the terms and conditions of a Thor Replacement Option, including the term to expiry and conditions to
and manner of exercising and vesting schedule, will be the same as the Thor Option for which it was exchanged, each Thor Replacement Option

(whether vested or unvested) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Pre-Adjustment Thor PDSU”): |

adjustment (the “Adjusted Thor PDSUs”); |
| (ii) | upon the redemption or settlement of such Adjusted Thor PDSUs following the Effective Time, each such
Adjusted Thor PDSU shall entitle the holder thereof to receive a cash payment, in accordance with the terms of the Thor PDSU Plan, with
reference to the Fair Market Value on such Adjusted Thor PDSU’s Filing Date of an Adam Share (and such cash payment, following the
application of any applicable “performance multiplier(s)” and/or Performance Conditions, shall be the Payment Value for such
Adjusted Thor PDSUs); |
| (iii) | the “performance multiplier(s)” (as provided for under the applicable document evidencing
the applicable Pre-Adjustment Thor PDSU) and/or the Performance Conditions applicable to such Adjusted Thor PDSUs from and after the Effective
Time will be as set forth in the applicable Performance Determination Notice; and |
| (iv) | such Adjusted Thor PDSUs shall remain outstanding and governed by the terms of the Thor PDSU Plan and

shall entitle the holder thereof to receive a cash payment, in accordance with the terms of the Thor PSU Plan, with reference to the Fair
Market Value on the date of vesting of an Adam Share (and such cash payment, following the application of any applicable “performance
multiplier(s)” and/or Performance Conditions, shall be the Payment Value for such Adjusted Thor PSUs); |
| (iii) | the “performance multiplier(s)” (as provided for under the applicable document evidencing
the applicable Pre-Adjustment Thor PSU) and/or the Performance Conditions applicable to such Adjusted Thor PSUs from and after the Effective
Time will be as set forth in the applicable Performance Determination Notice; and |
| (iv) | such Adjusted Thor PSUs shall remain outstanding and governed by the terms of the Thor PSU Plan and any

| | | Adjustment Thor PSU (subject to the adjustments contemplated by this Section 2.4(h), including
any modifications to the “performance multiplier(s)” and Performance
Conditions as set out in the Performance Determination Notice); |
| (i) | Thor RSUs: Simultaneously with the step set out in Section 2.4(c), in respect of each Thor RSU
(whether vested or unvested) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Pre-Adjustment Thor RSU”): |

| (iii) | such Adjusted Thor RSUs shall remain outstanding and governed by the terms of the Thor RSU Plan and any
document evidencing the applicable Pre-Adjustment Thor RSU (subject to the adjustments contemplated by this Section 2.4(i)); |
| (j) | Thor DSUs: Simultaneously with the step set out in Section 2.4(c), in respect of each Thor DSU
(whether vested or unvested) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Pre-Adjustment Thor DSU”): |
| (i) | such Pre-Adjustment Thor DSU shall be adjusted by multiplying such Pre-Adjustment Thor DSU by the Exchange
Ratio, and thereafter the holder thereof shall, for each Pre-Adjustment DSU formerly held by such holder, hold the number of Thor DSUs
as is equal to the product of such adjustment (the “Adjusted Thor DSUs”); |
| (ii) | upon the redemption or settlement of such Adjusted Thor DSUs following the Effective Time, each such Adjusted
Thor DSU shall entitle the holder thereof to receive a cash payment, in accordance with the terms of the Thor DSU Plan, with reference

| (a) | Each beneficial owner of Thor Shares who, as at the Effective Time, is an Eligible Holder may elect with
respect to any and all issued and outstanding Thor Shares (other than a Dissenting Thor Share) held by such holder immediately before

Consideration Shares or a combination of Adam Consideration Shares and Exchangeable Consideration Shares (the “Exchangeable Share
Election”). |
| (b) | The Exchangeable Share Election shall be made by a Thor Shareholder (or if applicable, by the registered
holder of Thor Shares on such beneficial owner’s behalf) by depositing with the Depositary, prior to the Election Deadline, a duly
completed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form indicating such Thor Shareholder’s election, together with certificates (if any)
representing such Eligible Holder’s Thor Shares. Thor shall provide at least two (2) Business Days’ notice of the Election
Deadline to Thor Shareholders by means of a news release disseminated on a newswire; provided that, if the Effective Date is delayed to
a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and Thor shall promptly announce any such delay
and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline, which rescheduled deadline if necessary shall be as agreed by Adam and Thor (acting
reasonably), provided that at least one (1) Business Day of advance notice thereof shall have been provided. |
| (c) | Any Letter of Transmittal and Election Form, once deposited with the Depositary, shall be irrevocable
and may not be withdrawn by a Thor Shareholder. |
| (d) | Any Thor Shareholder who does not deposit with the Depositary a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and
Election Form prior to the Election Deadline, or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Section 3.1 or of the Letter
of Transmittal and Election Form, shall be treated as not having made the Exchangeable Share Election and shall not be entitled to exchange
the Thor Shares held by such Thor Shareholder for Exchangeable Consideration Shares under the Arrangement. |
Each beneficial owner of Thor Shares who is
an Eligible Holder, and who has made a valid Exchangeable Share Election (or for whom the registered holder has made a valid
Exchangeable Share Election on such beneficial owner’s behalf) to receive Exchangeable Consideration Shares for any of its
Thor Shares shall be entitled to make an income tax election pursuant to subsection 85(1) of the Tax Act, or subsection 85(2) of the
Tax Act if such beneficial owner is a partnership (and in each case, where applicable, the analogous provisions of provincial income
tax law), with respect to the transfer of its Thor Shares to ExchangeCo and the receipt of Consideration in respect thereof by
providing the Tax Election
Package to the Depositary within seventy-five (75) days following the Effective Date, duly completed with
the details of the number of Thor Shares transferred and the applicable agreed amounts for the purposes of such elections.
Thereafter, subject to the Tax Election Package being correct and complete and complying with the provisions of the Tax Act (and
applicable provincial income tax law), the relevant forms shall be signed by ExchangeCo and returned to such former beneficial owner
of Thor Shares within seventy-five (75) days after the receipt thereof by the Depositary for filing with the CRA (or the applicable
Tax Authority) by such former beneficial owner. ExchangeCo shall not be responsible for the proper or accurate completion of the Tax
Election Package and, except for ExchangeCo’s obligation to return (within seventy-five (75) days after the receipt thereof by
the Depositary) duly completed election forms which are received by the Depositary within seventy-five (75) days of the Effective
Date, ExchangeCo shall not be responsible for any taxes, interest or penalties resulting from the failure by a former beneficial
owner of Thor Shares to properly and accurately complete or file the election forms in the form and manner and within the time
prescribed by the Tax Act (or any applicable provincial legislation). ExchangeCo has no obligation to sign and return any Tax
Election Packages received more than seventy-five (75) days following the Effective Date, other than in its sole and absolute
discretion.

nominee account until surrender) as contemplated by this Section 4.2, and (ii) on the appropriate payment date, (A) any dividends or other
distributions or returns of capital with a record date after the Effective Time declared, paid or payable with respect to Adam Consideration
Shares as contemplated by Section 4.8 and (B) any dividends or other distributions or returns of capital with a |
| | | record date prior to the
Effective Time declared, paid or payable with respect to Thor Shares. |
In the event any certificate which immediately
prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Thor Shares that were transferred or exchanged, as applicable, pursuant
to Section 2.4 of this Plan of Arrangement 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 shall (a) issue and deliver in exchange for such
lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration to which the holder is entitled pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement and (b)
deliver any other amounts such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 4.4 and 4.7. When authorizing such issuance and delivery
in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom such Consideration is to be issued and delivered shall,
as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Consideration, give a bond satisfactory to Thor, Adam and the Depositary (acting reasonably)
in such sum as Thor or Adam may direct, or otherwise indemnify Thor and Adam in a manner satisfactory to Adam, ExchangeCo and Thor acting
reasonably, against any claim that may be made against Adam, ExchangeCo and Thor with respect to the certificate alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed.
| (a) | In the event that a Thor Shareholder is entitled to receive a fractional interest in an Adam Consideration
Share pursuant to Section 2.4(c), the number of Adam Consideration Shares to be delivered to such Thor Shareholder pursuant to Section
4.2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Adam Consideration Share. Any such entitlements to fractional Adam Consideration Shares
will be aggregated and sold in the market by the Depositary, on behalf of the former Thor Shareholders entitled to receive a fractional
interest in an Adam Consideration Share, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date at the then prevailing prices on the TSX, JSE
or LSE, at the Depositary’s discretion. The Depositary shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the sale of such
Adam Consideration Shares as promptly following the Effective Time as is practicable, consistent with obtaining the best execution of
such sales in light of prevailing market conditions. The net proceeds of such sales (after deduction of all expenses, transfer Taxes and
commissions incurred in connection with such sales) will be held by the Depositary in trust for such former Thor Shareholders entitled
to receive a fractional interest in an Adam Consideration Share, and shall be paid by the Depositary in due proportions to such former
Thor Shareholders. |
| (b) | In the event that an Exchangeable Elected Shareholder is entitled to receive a fractional interest in
an Exchangeable Consideration Share pursuant to Section 2.4(d), the number of Exchangeable Consideration Shares to be delivered to such
Exchangeable Elected Shareholder pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Exchangeable Consideration Share.
Any such entitlements to fractional Exchangeable Consideration Shares will be aggregated and either, at the Depositary’s discretion:
(i) sold in the market by the Depositary, on behalf of the Exchangeable Elected Shareholders entitled to receive a fractional interest
in an Exchangeable Consideration Share, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date at the then prevailing prices on the TSX (if the
Exchangeable Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX); or (ii) exchanged into Adam Shares by the Depositary in accordance
with the terms of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement and Exchangeable Share Support Agreement,
and such Adam Shares transferred to the Depositary on such exchange will be sold in the market by the Depositary, on behalf of the Exchangeable
Elected Shareholders entitled to |
| | | receive a fractional interest in an Exchangeable Consideration Share, as soon as practicable after the
Effective Date at the then prevailing prices on the TSX, JSE or LSE, at the Depositary’s discretion. The Depositary shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to complete the sale
of such Adam Shares as promptly following the Effective Time as is practicable, consistent with obtaining the best execution of such sales
in light of prevailing market conditions. The net proceeds of such sales (after deduction of all expenses, transfer Taxes and commissions
incurred in connection with such sales) will be held by the Depositary in trust for such Exchangeable Elected Shareholders entitled to
receive a fractional interest in an Exchangeable Consideration Share, and shall be paid by the Depositary in due proportions to such Exchangeable
Elected Shareholders. |
Any
exchange or transfer of Thor Shares pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens or other claims of third
parties of any kind.
Adam, ExchangeCo, CallCo, Thor and the Depositary
shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person under this Plan of Arrangement
and from all consideration, dividends, interest or other amounts payable or distributed to any former Thor Shareholder or former holder
of Thor Incentive Awards such amounts as Adam, ExchangeCo, CallCo, Thor or the Depositary are required to deduct and withhold therefrom
under any provision of any applicable Laws in respect of Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted
to the relevant Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid
to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld
from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable (where applicable) to a former Thor Shareholder
or former holder of Thor Incentive Awards, Adam, ExchangeCo, CallCo, Thor and the Depositary are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise
dispose of such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Adam, ExchangeCo, CallCo, Thor or the Depositary,
as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and Adam, ExchangeCo, CallCo, Thor or the Depositary
shall notify the holder thereof and remit any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.
While no Stamp Taxes are, on the basis of applicable
Laws in force as at the date of this Plan of Arrangement, anticipated to be payable in the United Kingdom or elsewhere in connection with
the exchange of Exchangeable Shares for Adam Shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions, holders of Exchangeable Shares or Persons
to whom Exchangeable Shares are issued or transferred (in each case other than Adam, its Affiliates and the Depositary) shall be responsible
for any and all Stamp Taxes payable in connection with the transfer or issuance of such Exchangeable Shares or their exchange for Adam
Shares, and transferees of Adam Shares or Persons to whom Adam Shares are delivered (in each case other than Adam, its Affiliates and
the Depositary) shall be responsible for any and all Stamp Taxes payable in connection with the transfer or delivery of such Adam Shares,
in each case, whether arising as a result of a change of law or otherwise. In no event will Adam, CallCo, or any of their respective Affiliates
or the Depositary be responsible for any such Stamp Taxes.
| 4.8 | Post-Effective
Time Dividends and Distributions. |
No dividends or other distributions or returns
of capital payable on or in respect of Adam Consideration
Shares or Exchangeable Consideration Shares
with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any certificate or certificates which, immediately prior
to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Thor Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 2.4 in respect of whichA dam
Consideration Shares or Exchangeable Consideration Shares were issued pursuant to the Arrangement, and all such dividends and other
distributions or returns of capital shall be paid by Adam to the Depositary and shall be held by the Depositary in trust for such
holders, in each case until the surrender of such certificate or certificates (or affidavit in accordance with Section 4.3) in
accordance with Sections 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, or until surrendered and/or forfeited in accordance with Section 4.9. Subject to
applicable Laws, following surrender of any such certificate or certificates (or affidavit in accordance with Section 4.3) in
accordance with Sections 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, the amount of
dividends or other distributions or returns of capital with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to
such Adam Consideration Shares or Exchangeable Consideration Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the
Arrangement.
| 4.9 | Limitation and Proscription. |
To the extent that a former Thor Shareholder
shall not have complied with the provisions of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 on or before the date that is three (3) years after the Effective
Date (the “final proscription date”), then the Consideration that such former Thor Shareholder was entitled to receive
shall be deemed to have been surrendered to ExchangeCo (in the case of the Exchangeable Consideration Shares) and Adam (in the case of
Adam Consideration Shares) in each case for cancellation for no consideration and shall be delivered to ExchangeCo or Adam, as applicable,
by the Depositary and the interest of the former Thor Shareholder in such Consideration (and any dividend or other distribution or return
of capital referred to in Section 4.7) to which it was entitled shall be terminated as of such final proscription date, and the certificates
formerly representing Thor Shares shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature as of such final proscription date.
Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned
to the Depositary or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the final proscription date shall cease to represent
a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of any Thor Shareholder to receive the Consideration for Thor Shares pursuant to
this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to ExchangeCo.
Article 5

| (a) | In connection with the Arrangement, registered Thor Shareholders as at the record date for the Thor Meeting

Canada) before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted and (C) shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any
payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such Thor Shareholders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Thor
Shares and such Thor Shareholders shall be deemed to have transferred their Dissenting Thor Shares to Thor pursuant to Section 2.4(a),
or |
| (ii) | are ultimately determined not to be entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their Dissenting

of Thor Shares and shall be entitled to receive only the Adam Consideration Shares pursuant to 2.4(c) and other rights as set out in Article 4
that such Thor Shareholder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such Thor Shareholder had not exercised Dissent Rights and

Person be required to recognize Thor Shareholders who exercise Dissent Rights as Thor Shareholders after the Effective Time, and the names
of such Thor Shareholders who exercise Dissent Rights shall be removed from the registers of Thor Shares at the Effective Time. |

by Adam and Thor, provided that it concerns a matter that, in the reasonable opinion of Adam and Thor, is of an administrative nature
required to better give effect to the implementation of this Plan of Arrangement and is not adverse to the economic interest of any Thor
Shareholders or holders of Thor Incentive Awards. |

Schedule D
Thor Representations and Warranties
| (a) | Organization and Qualification. Each of Thor and its Material Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge
of Thor, the Thor Key Joint Ventures, is a corporation or partnership, as applicable, duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and
in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, formation, or continuance and has the requisite corporate or partnership
power and authority to own its assets and properties as now owned and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Thor is,
and its Material Subsidiaries are, and, to the knowledge of Thor, the Thor Key Joint Ventures are, duly registered to do business and
each is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of its assets and properties, owned or leased, or the nature of its
activities makes such registration necessary, except where the failure to be so registered or in good standing would not result in a Thor
Material Adverse Effect. Since January 1, 2024, no action has been taken to materially amend or supersede the Constating Documents of
Thor. |
| (b) | Authority Relative this Agreement. Thor has the requisite corporate authority to enter into this
Agreement and the agreements and other documents to be entered into by it hereunder and to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
Subject to the Thor Shareholder Approval being obtained at the Thor Meeting as stipulated by the Court in the Interim Order, no other
corporate approvals on the part of Thor are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Arrangement
and the agreements and other documents to be entered into by it hereunder and the consummation by Thor of the Transactions. This Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by Thor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Thor enforceable against it in accordance
with its terms, subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
Laws of general application relating to or affecting rights of creditors and that equitable remedies, including specific performance,
are discretionary and may not be ordered. |
| (c) | Board Approval. The Thor Board has unanimously: (i) determined that the Arrangement is in the best
interests of Thor and is fair to Thor Shareholders; (ii) resolved to make the Thor Board Recommendation and to include such recommendation
in the Thor Circular; and (iii) authorized the entering into of this Agreement (and approved the Arrangement pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement)
and the performance by Thor of its obligations under this Agreement and, at the date of this Agreement, no action has been taken to amend,
or supersede such determinations, resolutions, or authorizations. |
| (d) | No Violation; Absence of Defaults and Conflicts. |
| (i) | Thor is not in violation of its Constating Documents or in default in the performance or observance of
any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, loan agreement, deed of trust, agreement,
Lien, Contract or other instrument or obligation to which Thor is a party or to which Thor, or any of its properties or assets, may be
subject or by which Thor is bound, except for such violations or defaults which would not result in a Thor Material Adverse Effect. |
| (ii) | Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Thor nor the consummation of the Arrangement and
the Transactions nor compliance by Thor with any of the provisions hereof will: (A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any
provision of, require any consent, approval or notice under, or constitute a default (or an event |
which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default) or result in a right of termination or acceleration under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any
of the properties or assets of Thor or cause any Thor Existing Indebtedness to come due before its stated maturity or cause any credit
to cease to be available, under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (1) its Constating Documents, or (2) any note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, loan agreement, deed of trust, agreement, Lien, Contract or other instrument or obligation to which Thor is party or to which
Thor, or any of its properties or assets, may be subject or by which Thor is bound; or (B) subject to compliance with the statutes and
regulations referred to below, violate any Laws, judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, determination, award, decree, statute, ordinance,
rule or regulation applicable to Thor or any of its properties or assets (except, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B) above, for
such violations, conflicts, breaches, defaults, terminations, accelerations or creations of Liens which, or any consents, approvals or
notices which if not given or received, would not result in a Thor Material Adverse Effect or significantly impede the ability of Thor
to consummate the Arrangement); or (C) cause the suspension or revocation of any authorization, consent, approval or license currently
in effect which would result in a Thor Material Adverse Effect.
| (iii) | Other than in connection with or in compliance with the provisions of applicable Canadian Securities Laws,
U.S. Securities Laws, the CBCA, the Key Regulatory Approvals, the terms of the Interim Order and the Final Order in respect of the Arrangement
and the filing of the Articles of Arrangement, (A) there is no legal impediment to Thor’s consummation of the Arrangement, and (B)
no filing or registration with, or authorization, consent or approval of, any domestic or foreign public body or authority is required
of Thor in connection with the consummation of the Arrangement, except for such filings or registrations which, if not made, or for such
authorizations, consents or approvals which, if not received, would not result in a Thor Material Adverse Effect or significantly impede
the ability of Thor to consummate the Arrangement. |
| (e) | Ownership of Material Subsidiaries and Key Joint Ventures. Thor is, except pursuant to restrictions
on transfer contained in the applicable Constating Documents, the sole legal and beneficial direct or indirect owner of all (in the case
of wholly-owned Material Subsidiaries of Thor) or the portion as disclosed in the Thor Public Documents (in the case of Material Subsidiaries
of Thor which are not wholly-owned and the Thor Key Joint Ventures), of the outstanding shares and other ownership of Thor’s Material
Subsidiaries and the Thor Key Joint Ventures, with good title thereto free and clear of any and all Liens, except for Permitted Liens.
Other than as set out in the applicable Constating Documents, there are no outstanding options, rights, entitlements, understandings or
commitments (contingent or otherwise) regarding the right to acquire any such shares of capital stock or other ownership in any of Thor’s
Material Subsidiaries and, to Thor’s knowledge, the Thor Key Joint Ventures. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and
other ownership interests in Thor’s Material Subsidiaries and, to Thor’s knowledge, the Thor Key Joint Ventures are validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable and are not subject to, nor were they issued in violation of, any pre-emptive rights. |
| (f) | Litigation. Except as disclosed in paragraph (f) of the Thor Disclosure Letter, there are no actions,
claims, suits, proceedings or investigations by Governmental Entities or other Persons pending or, to the knowledge of Thor, threatened,
affecting or that would reasonably be expected to affect Thor, its Subsidiaries or, to Thor’s knowledge, the Thor Key Joint Ventures, |
or affecting or that would reasonably
be expected to affect any of its or their property or assets at Law or equity or before or by any court, tribunal or Governmental Entity
which action, claim, suit, proceeding or investigation involves a possibility of any judgment against or liability of Thor, its Subsidiaries

the Transactions nor compliance by Adam with any of the provisions hereof will: (A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any
provision of, |

Agreement”) dated September 9, 2025 between Adam and Thor.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined
in this term sheet have the meanings given to them in the arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) dated
September 9, 2025 between Adam and Thor.
| Designation: |
|
Exchangeable shares, being redeemable preferred shares in the capital of ExchangeCo (“Exchangeable Shares”). |
| |
|
|
| Issuer: |
|
ExchangeCo, a corporation incorporated under the federal laws of Canada and a Subsidiary of Adam (“Parent”). |
| |
|
|
| Initial Holders: |
|
Eligible Holders (as defined below) who elect and are
permitted to receive Exchangeable Shares in lieu of ordinary shares of Parent (“Parent Shares”) pursuant to the Arrangement.
“Eligible Holder” means a Thor shareholder
that is (a) a Person, other than a partnership, that is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and not exempt from Tax under
Part I of the Tax Act; or (b) a partnership, any direct or indirect member of which is a Person, other than a partnership, that is a resident
of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and not exempt from Tax under Part I of the Tax Act. |
| |
|
|
| Exchange: |
|
Each Exchangeable Share will be exchangeable at any time before the Redemption Date (as defined below under “Redemption by Issuer”), at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis for Parent Shares. For greater certainty, the Parent Shares to be delivered upon exchange of the Exchangeable Shares issued pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement will be allotted and issued by Parent to HoldCo on the Effective Date pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement and as described in the Plan of Arrangement. |
| |
|
|
| Dividends etc.: |
|
So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by Parent
or its affiliates are outstanding, Parent shall not take any action that will result in the declaration or payment of any dividend or
make any other distribution or return of capital on or in respect of Parent Shares unless: (i) the same or an economically equivalent
dividend or distribution or return of capital shall be made by ExchangeCo to holders of Exchangeable Shares, and (ii) ExchangeCo has sufficient
cash funds or other assets or authorized but unissued securities available to enable the due declaration and the due and punctual payment
or making (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Exchangeable Shares) of any such equivalent dividend or distribution
or return of capital.
Upon the declaration of any dividend or distribution or
return of capital on or in respect of Parent Shares in accordance with the above, the board of directors of ExchangeCo (the “ExchangeCo
Board”) will declare, and the Exchangeable Shareholders (as defined herein) will be entitled to receive, a dividend or distribution
or return of capital on each Exchangeable Share as follows: |
| |
|
· |
in the case of a cash dividend or other cash distribution or return of capital declared on or in respect of Parent Shares, an equivalent amount in cash equal to, and in the currency of, the cash dividend or distribution or return of capital declared on or in respect of each Parent Share, or an equivalent amount in Canadian dollars; |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
· |
in the case of a share dividend or other distribution or return of capital declared on or in respect of Parent Shares to be paid or otherwise satisfied in Parent Shares (including any bonus issuance of Parent Shares), by the issue by ExchangeCo of such number of Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share equal to the number of Parent Shares to be issued or distributed in respect of each Parent Share; and |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
· |
in the case of a dividend or other distribution or return of capital declared on or in respect of Parent Shares to be paid or otherwise satisfied in any other type of property other than cash or Parent Shares, in the type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the ExchangeCo Board in good faith and in its sole discretion) to the type and amount of property declared as a dividend or other distribution or return of capital on or in respect of each Parent Share. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The declaration date, record date and payment date for
such dividends, distributions or returns of capital on the Exchangeable Shares will be the same as the relevant dates for the corresponding
dividends or other distributions or returns of capital declared on or in respect of Parent Shares.
In the case of a dividend or other distribution or return
of capital declared on or in respect of Parent Shares to be paid in Parent Shares, in lieu of declaring a corresponding dividend or other
distribution or return of capital on the Exchangeable Shares, the ExchangeCo Board may elect to effect a contemporaneous and economically
equivalent subdivision of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares.
In the case of a distribution or return of capital declared
on or in respect of Parent Shares, the ExchangeCo Board will (or may), to the extent an economically equivalent distribution or return
of capital on the Exchangeable Shares is not possible (or would be treated as a deemed dividend under the Tax Act), elect to declare and
pay a contemporaneous and economically equivalent dividend on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares to that extent and in lieu of the otherwise
required distribution or return of capital on the Exchangeable Shares.
On or prior to the Effective Date, HoldCo shall irrevocably
and unconditionally waive its entitlement to any dividend, other distribution or other return of capital (other than any dividend or other
distribution or return of capital to be paid or otherwise satisfied in Parent Shares (including any bonus issuance of Parent Shares))
on or in respect of Parent Shares that it holds from time to time, expected to be documented in a standalone deed executed by HoldCo (“HoldCo
Waiver”).

| Exchangeable Share Consideration |
|
The consideration payable to a holder of an Exchangeable Share (the “Exchangeable Share Consideration”) upon the redemption or retraction of such Exchangeable Share by ExchangeCo, in connection with a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of ExchangeCo, or the purchase of such Exchangeable Share pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Support Agreement (as defined herein) or the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement (as defined herein) will be: (a) the current market price of a Parent Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) based on the average closing trading price of the Parent Shares during the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately before such date, or, if the Parent Shares are not then listed on the TSX, then any of the other stock exchanges or automated quotation systems on which the Parent Shares are listed or quoted, as the case may be, as may be selected by the ExchangeCo Board for such purpose; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the ExchangeCo Board the public distribution or trading activity of Parent Shares during such period does not reflect the fair market value of a Parent Share (or if the Exchangeable Shares are not listed or quoted on other stock exchanges or automated quotation systems), then as determined by the ExchangeCo Board, acting in good faith and based upon the advice of such qualified independent financial advisors as the ExchangeCo Board may deem to be appropriate; provided that such amounts shall only be satisfied by the delivery of one Parent Share for each Exchangeable Share outstanding, plus (b) an amount in cash equal to all declared, payable and unpaid cash dividends or other distributions or returns of capital on such Exchangeable Share, plus (c) any other type of property (other than cash) constituting any declared and payable non-cash dividends or distributions or returns of capital on such Exchangeable Share to be satisfied by delivery of such non-cash items; provided that: (A) the part of the consideration which represents limb (a) above shall in all cases be fully paid and satisfied only by the delivery of one Parent Share, such share to be duly and validly issued, fully paid and free of pre-emptive rights; (B) the part of the consideration which represents limb (c) above shall in all cases be fully paid and satisfied only by delivery of such non-cash items; (C) in each case, any such consideration shall be delivered free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim or interest; and (D) in each case, any such consideration shall be paid without interest and less any tax required to be deducted or withheld therefrom. |

|
Holders of Exchangeable Shares, other than, prior to the U.S Registration Statement becoming effective, U.S. Holders (as defined below), subject to applicable laws, will be entitled, at any time, to exercise their retraction right in respect of their Exchangeable Shares and thereby require ExchangeCo, subject to the overriding call rights described under “Call Rights” below, to redeem any or all of their Exchangeable Shares in return for a price per Exchangeable Share equal to the Exchangeable Share Consideration. |
| |
|
|
| Redemption by Issuer: |

The “Redemption Date” for the Exchangeable Shares means the date, if any, established by the ExchangeCo Board for the redemption by ExchangeCo of all but not less than all of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares, which shall not be earlier than the fifteenth (15) anniversary of the Effective Date (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement), unless: |
| |

Parent Control Transactions – if at any time
there is a Parent Control Transaction, on the Parent Control Transaction Effective Date in relation to such Parent Control Transaction,
except where (i) the consideration payable to holders of equity securities of Parent consists solely of equity securities in another Person
(the “Acquiring Person”) and (ii) the Board of Directors determines in good faith that, following the Parent Control
Transaction Effective Date in respect of a Parent Control Transaction, holders of Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to (A) substantially
equivalent economic and voting rights as a result of their holdings of Exchangeable Shares as the former holders of equity securities
of Parent will have as a result of holding equity securities in the Acquiring Person, (B) rights to exchange their Exchangeable Shares
for equity securities in the Acquiring Person on an economically substantially equivalent basis to that provided for in the Exchangeable
Share Provisions prior to the Parent Control Transaction Effective Date but taking into account the terms of the Parent Control Transaction,
and (C) other rights in relation to the Acquiring Person that are substantially equivalent to those in relation to Parent as provided
for in the Exchangeable Share Provisions prior to the Parent Control Transaction Effective Date. For these purposes, (I) “Parent
Control Transaction” means (w) any takeover bid or takeover offer (each as defined in the Companies Act) or similar tender offer
(in each case) as a result of which any Person will become the holder of more than 50% of the Parent Shares in issue at the Parent Control
Transaction Effective Date (for this purpose inclusive of any Parent Shares held by HoldCo but excluding the Charitable Trust Shares)
(any such transaction, a “Takeover Offer”), (x) any scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of Companies Act to acquire
Parent Shares as a result of which any Person will become the holder of more than 50% of the Parent Shares in issue at the Parent Control
Transaction Effective Date (for this purpose inclusive of any Parent Shares held by HoldCo but excluding the Charitable Trust Shares)
(any such transaction, a “Takeover Scheme”), (y) any other type of ‘offer’ within the meaning of the UK
City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “City Code”) as a result of which any Person will become the holder of more

Offer, the date on which such Takeover Offer becomes unconditional in accordance with the City Code, (Y) in the case of a Takeover Scheme,
the date on which the UK court sanctions the Takeover Scheme in accordance with Part 26 of Companies Act, and (Z) in the case of any other
Parent Control Transaction, the date on which such Parent Control Transaction becomes wholly unconditional (other than in respect of any
conditions that can only be satisfied upon the transaction becoming fully effective in accordance with its terms); or

Other Corporate Transactions – either of the following corporate transactions occur: |
| |

Exchangeable Share Voting Event –
(i) a matter arises on which the holders of Exchangeable Shares are entitled to vote as shareholders of ExchangeCo (other than an Exempt
Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Excluded Exchangeable Share Voting Event) (an “Exchangeable Share Voting Event”);
(ii) the ExchangeCo Board has determined, in good faith and in its sole discretion, that it is not reasonably practicable to accomplish
the business purpose intended by the matter contemplated by the Exchangeable Share Voting Event (which business purpose must be bona fide
and not for the primary purpose of causing the occurrence of the Redemption Date) in any other commercially reasonable manner that does
not result in the occurrence of an Exchangeable Share Voting Event; and (iii) the holders of Exchangeable Shares fail to take the necessary
action at a meeting of ExchangeCo shareholders or other vote of the holders of Exchangeable Shares to approve or disapprove, as applicable,
the Exchangeable Share Voting Event. For this purpose, an “Excluded Exchangeable Share Voting Event” means any matter
in respect of which holders of Exchangeable Shares are entitled to vote: (A) in their capacity as beneficiaries under the Voting and Exchange
Trust Agreement; (B) pursuant to sections 176(1)(b) or 176(1)(c), section 183(4) of the CBCA (if the applicable amalgamation agreement
contains a provision that, if contained in a proposed amendment to the articles, would entitle the holders of the Exchangeable Shares
to vote as a separate class under sections 176(1)(b) or 176(1)(c) of the CBCA), or section 188 of the CBCA; or (C) under the terms of
the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement and/or the Exchangeable Share Support Agreement; except, in
the case of (B) or (C), (i) if such event occurs after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the issuance of the Exchangeable Shares
or (ii) in circumstances where the holders of Exchangeable Shares are treated in an economically equivalent manner to holders of Parent
Shares and in a manner which preserves the economic benefits of the Exchangeable Shares for such holders (which may be satisfied through
the provision of cash or other consideration). For greater certainty, nothing herein shall provide the Exchangeable Shareholders with
the right to vote Exchangeable Shares at any meeting of Parent at which Parent shareholders are entitled to vote, including on any corporate
action of Parent at any such meeting (other than in the holders of the Exchangeable Shares’ capacities as beneficiaries under the
Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement).
Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event
– (i) a matter arises on which the holders of Exchangeable Shares are entitled to vote as shareholders of ExchangeCo in order to
approve or disapprove, as applicable, any change to, or in the rights of the holders of, the Exchangeable Shares (an “Exempt
Exchangeable Share Voting Event”); (ii) the change is necessary to maintain the economic equivalence of the Exchangeable Shares
and the Parent Shares; and (iii) the holders of Exchangeable Shares fail to take the necessary action at a meeting of ExchangeCo shareholders
or other vote of the holders of Exchangeable Shares to approve or disapprove, as applicable, the change; or |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
(d) |
Change in Law – (i) any change or imminent change in applicable laws (including tax laws) in respect of which maintaining the structure associated with the |

| Ranking: |
|
The Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled to a preference over the ExchangeCo Shares and the ExchangeCo Deferred Shares and any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares with respect to: (a) the payment of dividends or other distributions or returns of capital as and to the extent provided under the Section “Dividends, etc.” above, and (b) the payment of any other dividend and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of ExchangeCo, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of ExchangeCo among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, in each case, as and to the extent provided therefor in the terms attaching to the Exchangeable Shares. |
| |
|
|
| Liquidation of ExchangeCo: |
|
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of ExchangeCo or any other distribution of its assets among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs (voluntary or involuntary),
the holders of Exchangeable Shares will have, subject to applicable law and the overriding call rights described under “Call
Rights” below, the right to receive, for each Exchangeable Share held, the Exchangeable Share Consideration.
Prior to the relevant ExchangeCo liquidation event, the
holders of Exchangeable Shares will be entitled to exercise their retraction right.
Liquidation rights shall be subject to the overriding
call rights described under “Call Rights” below. |
| |
|
|
| Liquidation of Parent: |
|
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of Parent or any other distribution of its assets among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs (voluntary or involuntary),
immediately prior to such event, each of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares (other than Exchangeable Shares held by Parent and its
affiliates) shall be automatically exchanged for one Parent Share. To effect such automatic exchange, Parent shall purchase all of the
Exchangeable Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such Parent liquidation event. The purchase price payable by
Parent for each Exchangeable Share purchased pursuant to such exchange will be the Exchangeable Share Consideration immediately prior
to the effective date of such Parent liquidation event, which price will be satisfied in full by Parent delivering the Exchangeable Share
Consideration to each such holder of Exchangeable Shares.
The automatic exchange described above shall be subject
to the overriding call rights described under “Call Rights” above. |
| |
|
|
| Call Rights: |
|
CallCo will hold, subject to applicable laws, certain overriding call rights (including in connection with a retraction, redemption or liquidation). CallCo will have the overriding ability to acquire the Exchangeable Shares that are the subject of a retraction, a redemption or any liquidation distribution prior to the completion of the retraction, redemption or liquidation distribution. Where such call rights are exercised, CallCo will acquire the relevant Exchangeable Shares from the relevant holder of Exchangeable Shares in exchange for a price per Exchangeable Share equal to the Exchangeable Share Consideration. |
| |
|
|
| Voting Rights with respect to ExchangeCo: |
|
Except as required by applicable Law, holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to receive notice of or attend any meeting of the shareholders of ExchangeCo or vote at any such meeting. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, holders of Exchangeable Shares will not have class votes except as required by applicable Law. Holders of Exchangeable Shares will, however, have certain rights as regards amendments to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Exchangeable Shares, as described under “Amendment and Approval” below. |
| |
|
|
| Voting Rights with respect to Parent: |
|
Parent, ExchangeCo, CallCo, and HoldCo, a Jersey incorporated
company, will enter into a voting and exchange trust agreement (the “Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement”) with a corporate
trustee services provider (“Trustee”), pursuant to which (i) Parent will allot and issue such number of Parent Shares
to HoldCo as is equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares issued on the Effective Date, as adjusted for any withholding contemplated
by the Plan of Arrangement, (ii) HoldCo will grant a power of attorney in favour of the Trustee over the voting rights attaching to Parent
Shares it holds, with the Trustee’s interest in those voting rights and the power of attorney to be held in trust for the benefit
of holders of Exchangeable Shares from time to time (the “Exchangeable Shareholders”) and (iii) HoldCo will agree to
deliver Parent Shares to the Exchangeable Shareholders as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or CallCo from time to time in accordance with the terms
of the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement.
The Exchangeable Shareholders will, in the aggregate,
be entitled to instruct the Trustee as to the voting of a number of Parent Shares equal to the then outstanding number of Exchangeable
Shares held by all Exchangeable Shareholders. The Trustee will exercise (either by proxy or in person) the vote attached to each Parent
Share only as directed by the relevant Exchangeable Shareholder and, in the absence of instructions from an Exchangeable Shareholder as
to voting, will not exercise that vote.
Each Exchangeable Shareholder on the record date for any
meeting at which Parent shareholders are entitled to vote will be entitled to instruct the Trustee to exercise the vote attached to one
Parent Share for each Exchangeable Share held by such Exchangeable Shareholder.
An Exchangeable Shareholder may, upon instructing the
Trustee, be appointed as proxy entitling such Exchangeable Shareholder to exercise the votes to which such Exchangeable Shareholder is
entitled directly at the relevant meeting.
The Trustee will use reasonable efforts to forward to
the Exchangeable Shareholders (on the same day as Parent mails or otherwise sends the notice and materials to the other Parent shareholders)
the notice of each meeting at which Parent shareholders are entitled to vote, together with the related meeting materials and a statement
as to the manner in |
| |
|
which the Exchangeable Shareholders may instruct the Trustee to exercise the votes attaching to Parent Shares held by HoldCo. |
| |
|
|
| Parent Support: |
|
Parent shall take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
(a) |
enable and permit ExchangeCo, in accordance with applicable law, to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the satisfaction of the liquidation amount, the retraction price or the redemption price in respect of each issued and outstanding Exchangeable Share upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of ExchangeCo or any other distribution of the assets of ExchangeCo among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the delivery of a retraction request by a holder of Exchangeable Shares or a redemption of Exchangeable Shares by ExchangeCo, as the case may be, including without limitation all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit ExchangeCo to deliver or cause to be delivered Parent Shares or other property to the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions; and |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
(b) |
permit the Trustee, in accordance with applicable law, to perform its obligations under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, including, without limitation, all such actions and all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, to exercise such number of votes in respect of any meeting at which Parent shareholders are entitled to vote as is equal to the aggregate number of Exchangeable Shares outstanding at the relevant time other than those held by Parent and its affiliates. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
including, for greater certainty, Parent issuing such number of additional new Parent Shares to HoldCo, or taking any other action, as is reasonably necessary or desirable to enable the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, to exercise such number of votes in respect of any meeting at which Parent shareholders are entitled to vote as is equal to the aggregate number of Exchangeable Shares outstanding at the relevant time other than those held by Parent and its affiliates and to maintain the rights of the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed, retracted or exchanged for Parent Shares on a one for one basis. |
| |
|
|
| Anti-Dilution: |
|
So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by Parent or its affiliates are outstanding, in the event that the Parent: |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
(a) |
issues or distributes Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire or subscribe for Parent Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares (excluding for this purpose, pursuant to the HoldCo Waiver, any Parent Shares held by HoldCo) by way of any dividend, other distribution or return of capital (other than an issue of Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire or subscribe for Parent Shares) to holders of Parent Shares (i) who exercise an option to receive dividends in Parent Shares in lieu of receiving |
| |
|
|
cash dividends, or (ii) pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or scrip dividend or similar arrangement); or |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
(b) |
issues, offers or distributes rights, options, warrants or any other form of instruments (including any convertible or exchangeable instrument) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares (excluding for this purpose any Parent Shares held by HoldCo and the holders of the ▇▇▇▇ Charitable Trust Shares) entitling them to subscribe (including upon conversion or exchange) for or to purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire or subscribe for Parent Shares); or |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
(c) |
issues or distributes to the holders of all or substantially
all of the then outstanding Parent Shares (excluding for this purpose, pursuant to the HoldCo Waiver, any Parent Shares held by HoldCo):
(i) shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying
rights to acquire or subscribe for Parent Shares), (ii) rights, options, warrants or other assets other than those referred to in (b)
above, (iii) evidence of indebtedness of Parent, or (iv) assets of Parent or any of its affiliates;
|
| |
|
then unless Parent obtains the prior approval of ExchangeCo
and the prior approval of the Exchangeable Shareholders in accordance with the terms of the Exchangeable Shares (as set out under “Amendment
and Approval” below), ExchangeCo shall issue or distribute the same or economically equivalent rights, options, warrants, instruments,
securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets simultaneously to holders of the Exchangeable Shares; provided that the
above covenants will not apply to any securities issued or distributed by Parent (including to HoldCo) in order to give effect to and
to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement.
As set out above, Parent will not extend any issuances
or offers referred to in (b) above to HoldCo or the holders of the ▇▇▇▇ Charitable Trust Shares.
The terms of the Exchangeable Shares will have further
provisions to ensure the economic equivalency of the exchange rights which will be adjusted for stock splits, consolidations, reclassifications,
mergers, reorganizations and other events affecting Parent Shares. |
| |
|
|
|
| Stock Exchange Listing: |
|
The Exchangeable Shares will, subject to the satisfaction of customary listing conditions, be listed on the TSX. |
| |
|
|
| Amendment and Approval: |
|
The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Exchangeable Shares may be added to, changed or removed only with the approval of the holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than any Exchangeable Shares held by Parent or any of its affiliates). Any approval given by the holders of Exchangeable Shares requires a resolution to be passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast on that resolution at a duly called meeting of the holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than any Exchangeable Shares held by Parent or any of its affiliates) duly called and held at which the holders of at least 10% of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares entitled to vote at such meeting are present or represented by proxy. |
| Registration Statement |
|
Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (a) file, within 90 days of the Effective Date a registration statement (the “U.S. Registration Statement”), on an appropriate form, under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “U.S. Securities Act”) to register the resale of any and all of the Exchangeable Share Consideration that may be issued or delivered to holders of the Exchangeable Shares by Parent or CallCo (including, for greater certainty, pursuant to the provisions described above under “Exchange”, “Optional Retraction of Exchangeable Shares”, “Redemption by Issuer”, and “Call Rights”), (b) cause the U.S. Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing thereof with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and (c) following such effectiveness, cause the U.S. Registration Statement (or a successor registration statement) to remain effective at all times that any Exchangeable Shares remain outstanding. |
| |
|
|
| Treatment of U.S. Holders: |
|
“U.S. Holder” means a holder of securities
who is a U.S. person as defined under Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the U.S. Securities Act.
Notwithstanding any of the rights of holders of Exchangeable
Shares described above, none of Parent, ExchangeCo or CallCo shall be required to issue or deliver any Parent Shares to a U.S. Holder
of Exchangeable Shares until the U.S. Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC as described in more detail under
the heading “Registration Statement” above. For the avoidance of doubt, a U.S. Holder is permitted to receive and sell
the Exchangeable Shares on the TSX in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S. |
| |
|
|
| Resale Restrictions: |
|
Subject to “Treatment of U.S. Holders” above and during the applicable 40-day distribution compliance period under Regulation S, any Parent Shares issued or delivered to a non-U.S. Holder in connection with a retraction, redemption, liquidation or exchange of the Exchangeable Shares, so long as the U.S. Registration Statement has not been declared effective, may not be resold over the NYSE or otherwise into the United States, and on exchange a non-U.S. holder will be required to agree to this limitation on resale. |
| |

whether imposed in the United Kingdom or elsewhere (“Stamp Taxes”) payable in connection with the transfer or issuance
of such Exchangeable Shares or their exchange for Parent Shares, and transferees of Parent Shares or Persons to whom Parent Shares are
delivered (in each case other than Parent, its affiliates and the Depositary) shall be responsible for any and all Stamp Taxes payable
