In respect of the settlement of any Company DSUs, Company PSUs and Company RSUs granted under the Company Incentive Plans following the date hereof (including, for greater certainty, payments made in respect of Company DSUs, Company PSUs and Company RSUs for which vesting has accelerated as a result of the Arrangement), the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such payments will be determined in strict accordance with the terms of the Company Incentive Plans, without the making of any adjustments or other determinations as may be available to the Company Board, or any committee thereof, in their discretion pursuant to the terms of the Company Incentive Plans or any Company DSUs, Company PSUs and/or Company RSUs, as applicable, granted thereunder.

The Company shall (i) ensure that it will have available funds, at the Effective Time, to pay the aggregate cash consideration to be paid to the holders of the Company DSUs, Company PSUs and Company RSUs, as applicable, in connection with the Arrangement; and (ii) cause to be taken all necessary corporate action to allot and reserve for issuance the Company Shares, if any, to be issued in settlement of Company PSUs and Company RSUs in connection with the Arrangement.

The Arrangement is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and this Agreement, together with the Plan of Arrangement, is intended to be, and is hereby adopted as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 368 of the U.S. Tax Code. Each Party agrees to treat the Arrangement as a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code for all United States federal income tax purposes, to treat this Agreement, together with the Plan of Arrangement, as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under section 368 of the U.S. Tax Code, and to not take any position on any Tax Return or otherwise take any Tax reporting position inconsistent with such treatment. Within 45 days after the Effective Date, the Purchaser shall complete and post on its website an IRS Form 8937 reporting the Arrangement as a tax-deferred reorganization under section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code.

Each Party agrees to act in good faith, consistent with the intent of the Parties and the intended treatment of the Arrangement as set forth herein and to use commercially reasonable efforts to not take any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, if such action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent the Arrangement from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code.

For greater certainty, neither Party makes any representation, warranty, or covenant to the other Party or to any Company Shareholder, Purchaser Shareholder or any other Person regarding the United States tax treatment of the Arrangement, including, but not limited to, whether the Arrangement will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the U.S. Tax Code or as a tax-deferred transaction for purposes of any United States state or local income tax Law, and the tax-free treatment of the Arrangement and the performance of covenants contained in Section 2.13(2) shall not be a condition to the Arrangement.

Except as disclosed in the Company Filings or the Company Disclosure Letter (which disclosure shall apply against any representations and warranties to which it is reasonably apparent it should relate), the Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser as set forth in Schedule C and acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is relying upon such representations and warranties in connection with the entering into of this Agreement.

Except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Person has made or makes any other express or implied representation and warranty, either written or oral, on behalf of the Company.

The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement shall not survive the completion of the Arrangement and shall expire and be terminated at the Effective Time. This Section 3.1 will not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties, which, by its terms, contemplates performance after the Effective Date or the date on which this Agreement is terminated, as the case may be.

Except as disclosed in the Purchaser Filings or the Purchaser Disclosure Letter (which disclosure shall apply against any representations and warranties to which it is reasonably apparent it should relate), the Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as set forth in Schedule D and acknowledges and agrees that the Company is relying upon such representations and warranties in connection with the entering into of this Agreement.

Except for the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, neither the Purchaser nor any other Person has made or makes any other express or implied representation and warranty, either written or oral, on behalf of the Purchaser.

The representations and warranties of the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall not survive the completion of the Arrangement and shall expire and be terminated at the Effective Time. This Section 3.2 will not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties, which, by its terms, contemplates performance after the Effective Date or the date on which this Agreement is terminated, as the case may be.

The Company covenants and agrees that, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, except: (i) with the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; (ii) as required or permitted by this Agreement; (iii) as required by Law or a Governmental Entity; (iv) in respect of reasonable payments to legal and financial advisors in connection with the Company’s response to a Company Acquisition Proposal in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or (v) as contemplated by the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company shall, and shall cause each Liquor Subsidiary to, conduct its business in the Ordinary Course (other than in the case of an emergency or exigent circumstances, the details of which shall be furnished by the Company to the Purchaser in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after such emergency or exigent circumstance) and in accordance with applicable Law, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve its and its Liquor Subsidiaries’ business organization, assets, properties, employees, goodwill and business relationships with customers, suppliers, partners and other Persons with which the Company and the Liquor Subsidiaries has material business relations.

Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1(1), the Company covenants and agrees that, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, except: (i) with the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; (ii) as required or permitted by this Agreement (including, for greater certainty, in connection with any Pre-Closing Reorganization, if applicable); (iii) as required by Law or a Governmental Entity; or (iv) as contemplated by the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Liquor Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

promptly advise the Purchaser in writing of any Nova Acquisition Proposal of which it becomes aware;

shall not, directly or indirectly, through any director of the Company (acting in their capacity as such), Company Employee (acting in their capacity as such) or Representative or otherwise:

solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing or providing copies of, access to, or disclosure of, any confidential information, properties, facilities, Books and Records of the Nova Group) any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute, a Nova Acquisition Proposal;

enter into or otherwise engage or participate in any negotiations or meaningful discussions with any Person (other than with the Purchaser or any Person acting jointly or in concert with the Purchaser) regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute, a Nova Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company may (x) advise any Person of the restrictions of this Agreement, and (y) contact the Person for the purposes of seeking clarification of the terms of such Nova Acquisition Proposal, in each case, if, in so doing, no other information that is prohibited from being communicated under this Agreement is communicated to such Person;

accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend any Nova Acquisition Proposal, or take no position or remain neutral with respect to any publicly announced Nova Acquisition Proposal; or

approve, recommend or enter into or publicly propose to enter into any agreement in respect of a Nova Acquisition Proposal;

use commercially reasonable efforts not to cause or permit to be amended or modified in any material respect or terminated or waived any material right under any Nova Material Contract; and

use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the Nova Group from entering into any contract or agreement that would be a Nova Material Contract if in effect on the date hereof, except: (i) with the prior written consent of the Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; (ii) as required or permitted by this Agreement (including, for greater certainty, in connection with any Pre-Closing Reorganization, if applicable); (iii) as required by Law or a Governmental Entity; or (iv) as contemplated by the Company Disclosure Letter.

Except as disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company covenants and agrees that until the earlier of the Effective Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7, the Company and Liquor Subsidiaries will (i) duly and timely file with the appropriate Governmental Entity all Tax Returns required to be filed by it, which shall be correct and complete in all material respects, (ii) pay, withhold, collect and remit to the appropriate Governmental Entity in a timely fashion all amounts required to be so paid, withheld, collected or remitted and (iii) not without prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (A) make any Tax election, file any material information schedule, material return or material designation, or settle or compromise any Tax claim, assessment, reassessment or liability, (B) file any amended Tax Return, file any notice of appeal or otherwise initiate any Action with respect to Taxes, (C) enter into any agreement with a Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes, (D) surrender any right to claim a Tax abatement, reduction, deduction, exemption, credit or refund, (E) consent to the extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax matter, (F) amend or change any of its methods of reporting income, deductions or accounting for income Tax purposes except as may be required by Law, (G) enter into any tax sharing, tax allocation or tax indemnification agreement, (H) make a request for a tax ruling to any Governmental Entity, or (I) take any action or enter into any transaction that would have the effect of reducing or eliminating the amount of the tax cost “bump” pursuant to paragraphs 88(1)(c) and (d) of the Tax Act otherwise available to Purchaser and/or its affiliates in respect of any property owned or to be owned directly or indirectly by the Company or its affiliates.

The Company shall keep the Purchaser reasonably informed of any material events, discussions, notices or changes with respect to any Tax or regulatory investigation or any other investigation by a Governmental Entity or action involving the Company or any Liquor Subsidiary (other than Ordinary Course communications which could not reasonably be expected to be material to the Company). The Company will consider in good faith any reasonable requests by the Purchaser that the Company or its Liquor Subsidiaries take any action regarding Tax filing matters, including the filing of notices of appeal and other actions in respect of notices of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (provided that, for greater certainty, the Company shall be obligated pursuant to Section 4.1(4) not to take any action regarding such matters without the consent of the Purchaser). The Purchaser may request that the Company take or cause the Liquor Subsidiaries to take any action referred to in Section 4.1(3) where such action is necessary to preserve the Company or relevant Subsidiary’s rights (including, without limitation, due to the potential expiry of any limitation or statute-barring period). The Company may only refuse such requests where, acting reasonably (and providing evidence of the same to the Purchaser) such actions would be illegal or harm the Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to allow the Purchaser to exercise material influence over the operations of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time.

The Purchaser covenants and agrees that, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, except: (i) with the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; (ii) as required or permitted by this Agreement; (iii) as required by Law or a Governmental Entity; or (iv) as contemplated by the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries to, conduct its business in the Ordinary Course (other than in the case of an emergency or exigent circumstances, the details of which shall be furnished by the Purchaser to the Company in writing as soon as reasonably practicable after such emergency or exigent circumstance) and in accordance with applicable Law, and the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve its and the Purchaser Subsidiaries’ business organization, assets, properties, employees, goodwill and business relationships with customers, suppliers, partners and other Persons with which the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Subsidiaries has material business relations.

Without limiting the generality of Section 4.2(1), the Purchaser covenants and agrees that, during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the time that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, except: (i) with the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; (ii) as required or permitted by this Agreement (including, for greater certainty, in connection with any Pre-Closing Reorganization, if applicable); (iii) as required by Law or a Governmental Entity; or (iv) as contemplated by the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any Purchaser Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:

reduce the stated capital of the Purchaser or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries;

declare, pay or issue any dividend in respect of the Purchaser Shares;

except as disclosed in the Purchaser Disclosure Letter, issue, grant, deliver, sell, pledge or otherwise encumber, or authorize the issuance, grant, delivery, sale, pledge or other encumbrance of, any shares of the Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiaries or any options, warrants or similar rights exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into such shares of the Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiaries, except for the issuance of Purchaser Shares issuable upon the due exercise, vesting and settlement, as applicable, of the currently outstanding Purchaser Convertible Securities;

acquire (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), directly or indirectly, in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, any assets, securities, properties, interests or businesses having a cost, on a per transaction or series of related transactions basis, in excess of [Amount Redacted] for all such transactions, other than Ordinary Course acquisitions of inventory or Ordinary Course acquisitions under procurement contracts;

sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, any of the Purchaser Assets which have a value greater than [Amount Redacted] in the aggregate, other than the sale, lease, disposition or other transfer of inventories or other assets in the Ordinary Course;

reorganize, amalgamate or merge the Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary with any third party;

adopt a plan of liquidation or resolutions providing for the liquidation or dissolution of the Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiaries;

create, incur, or assume any credit facilities or otherwise become liable, in one transaction or in a series of related transactions, with respect to any Indebtedness for borrowed money or guarantees thereof in an amount, on a per transaction or series of related transactions basis, in excess of [Amount Redacted];

commence, waive, release, assign, settle or compromise any Actions in excess of an amount of [Amount Redacted] in the aggregate or which would reasonably be expected to impede, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

except as contemplated herein, amend, modify, terminate, cancel or let lapse any material insurance (or re-insurance) policy of the Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary in effect on the date of this Agreement; or

authorize, agree, resolve or otherwise commit to do any of the foregoing.

The Purchaser covenants and agrees that until the earlier of the Effective Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7, the Purchaser and the Purchaser Subsidiaries will (i) duly and timely file with the appropriate Governmental Entity all material Tax Returns required to be filed by it, which shall be correct and complete in all material respects, and (ii) pay, withhold, collect and remit to the appropriate Governmental Entity in a timely fashion all amounts required to be so paid, withheld, collected or remitted.

The Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed of any material events, discussions, notices or changes with respect to any Tax or regulatory investigation or any other investigation by a Governmental Entity or action involving the Purchaser, any Purchaser Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, the SunStream Group (other than Ordinary Course communications which could not reasonably be expected to be material to the Purchaser).

The Purchaser will, promptly following the date hereof, designate two individuals, either of whom the Company may seek approval to undertake any actions not permitted to be taken under Section 4.1 and will ensure that such persons will respond, on behalf of the Purchaser, to the Company’s requests in an expeditious manner.

The Company will, promptly following the date hereof, designate two individuals, either of whom the Purchaser may seek approval to undertake any actions not permitted to be taken under Section 4.2 and will ensure that such persons will respond, on behalf of the Company, to the Purchaser’s requests in an expeditious manner.

The Company agrees that, upon request by the Purchaser, the Company shall:

use all commercially reasonable efforts to effect such reorganizations of the Company’s business, operations and assets or such other transactions (which, for certainty, may include transactions to which the Purchaser, a Purchaser Subsidiary or member of the Nova Group may be party) as the Purchaser may request, acting reasonably (each, a “Pre-Closing Reorganization”);

co-operate with the Purchaser and its advisors in order to determine the nature of the Pre-Closing Reorganization(s) that might be undertaken and the manner in which they might most effectively be undertaken;

cooperate with the Purchaser and its advisors to seek to obtain any consents or waivers which might be required in connection with any Pre-Closing Reorganization; and

use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the Nova Group to participate in a Pre-Closing Reorganization if determined to be the manner in which a Pre-Closing Reorganization might most effectively be undertaken.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company (or any Subsidiary) will not be obligated to participate in or effect any Pre-Closing Reorganization unless it determines, to its satisfaction, that any such Pre-Closing Reorganization:

does not materially impair, impede, delay or prevent the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in Article 6 or impair the ability of the Purchaser or the Company to complete the Arrangement or materially delay the completion of the Arrangement;

is not prejudicial to the Company or the Company Shareholders (having regard to the indemnities provided herein);

does not require the Company to obtain the approval of the Company Shareholders except as may be contemplated in the Company Circular prior to mailing thereof (or, after mailing of the Company Circular, does not require any amendment thereto requiring the mailing of such amendment to the Company Shareholders);

does not reduce or modify or otherwise change the substance, form or amount of the Consideration payable to the Company Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement;

could reasonably be expected to result in Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, any Company Shareholders incrementally greater than the Taxes or other consequences to such party in connection with the completion of the Arrangement in the absence of action being taken pursuant to this Section 4.4;

does not result in any material Tax (or other) costs to the Company or any Subsidiary unless the Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Company for such costs in the event that the Pre-Closing Reorganization is completed and the Arrangement is not completed;

would require or result in any breach or contravention by the Company or any Subsidiary of any Contract;

would require or result in any breach or contravention by the Company or any Subsidiary of their respective organizational documents or Law; and

is effected as close as reasonably practicable prior to the Effective Time.

Any Pre-Closing Reorganizations shall not become effective unless the Purchaser has waived or confirmed in writing the satisfaction of all conditions in its favour under Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 and shall have confirmed in writing that the Purchaser is prepared to promptly and without condition (other than compliance with this Section 4.4) proceed to effect the Arrangement. The Purchaser waives any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by the Company, where such breach is a result of an action taken by the Company or a Subsidiary in good faith pursuant to a request by the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 4.4.

The Purchaser shall provide written notice to the Company of any proposed Pre-Closing Reorganization at least 20 Business Days prior to the Effective Time. Upon receipt of such notice, the Purchaser and the Company shall work co-operatively and use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do all such other acts and things as are reasonably necessary, including making amendments to this Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement (provided that such amendments do not require the Company to obtain approval of the Company Shareholders (other than as properly put forward and approved at the Company Meeting)), to give effect to such Pre-Closing Reorganization. If the Arrangement is not completed other than solely due to a breach by the Company of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall indemnify the Company and the Liquor Subsidiaries for any losses or costs (other than those reimbursed in accordance with the foregoing) incurred by the Company and arising directly out of any Pre-Closing Reorganization, other than loss of profit; provided however, that such indemnity shall include any reasonable costs incurred by the Company in order to restore the organizational structure of the Company to a substantially identical structure of the Company as at the date hereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Purchaser may enter into transactions (each, a “Bump Transaction”) designed to step up the tax basis in certain capital property of the Company or the Liquor Subsidiaries for purposes of the Tax Act and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide information reasonably required by the Purchaser and available to the Company in this regard on a timely basis and to assist in the obtaining of any such information in order to facilitate a successful completion of the Bump Transactions or any such other reorganizations or transactions as are reasonably requested by the Purchaser.

Subject to Law, from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, each of the Company and the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do or cause to be done all things required or advisable under Law to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to Section 4.6, including:

to satisfy, or cause the satisfaction of, 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 imposed by Law on it or its Subsidiaries with respect to this Agreement or the Arrangement;

to obtain or cause to be obtained, as applicable, as soon as practicable following execution of this Agreement, and maintain all third party or other consents, waivers, permits, exemptions, orders, approvals, agreements, amendments or confirmations that are (i) necessary to be obtained under the Company Material Contracts and Nova Material Contracts (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the Credit Documents) in connection with the Arrangement or this Agreement, or (ii) required in order to maintain the Company Material Contracts and Nova Material Contracts in full force and effect following completion of the Arrangement, in each case, on terms that are reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser;

using commercially reasonable efforts to effect all necessary registrations, filings and submissions of information required by Governmental Entities from it and its Subsidiaries relating to this Agreement or the Arrangement;

upon reasonable consultation with the other Party, to oppose, lift or rescind any Award seeking to restrain, enjoin or otherwise prohibit or delay or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the Arrangement and to defend, or cause to be defended, any Actions to which it is a party or brought against it or its directors or officers challenging the Arrangement or this Agreement;

If any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Law, or if any proceeding is instituted or threatened by any Governmental Entity challenging or which could lead to a challenge of any of the transactions directly or indirectly contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the terms of this Agreement to resolve such proceeding so as to allow the Effective Time to occur on or prior to the Outside Date; and

not taking any action, or refrain from taking any commercially reasonable action, or permitting any action to be taken or not taken, which would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or otherwise impede the consummation of the Arrangement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of:

any Company Material Adverse Effect;

any Nova Material Adverse Effect of which it has knowledge;

any notice or other written communication from any Person: (i) alleging that the consent (or waiver, permit, exemption, order, approval, agreement, amendment or confirmation) of such Person (or another Person) is or may be required in connection with this Agreement or the Arrangement; or (ii) to the effect that such Person is terminating or otherwise materially adversely modifying its relationship with the Company or any Liquor Subsidiary as a result of the Arrangement or this Agreement; or

any material filings, actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving the Company or any Liquor Subsidiary that relate to this Agreement or the Arrangement.

The Purchaser shall promptly notify the Company in writing of:

any Purchaser Material Adverse Effect;

any notice or other written communication from any Person: (i) alleging that the consent (or waiver, permit, exemption, order, approval, agreement, amendment or confirmation) of such Person (or another Person) is or may be required in connection with this Agreement or the Arrangement; or (ii) to the effect that such Person is terminating or otherwise materially adversely modifying its relationship with the Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary as a result of the Arrangement or this Agreement; or

any material filings, actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving the Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary that relate to this Agreement or the Arrangement.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Purchaser and the Company shall make all required or advisable notifications, registrations, filings, applications and submissions with Governmental Entities, shall promptly respond to any information requests by a Governmental Entity, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain the Key Regulatory Approvals, so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

within 10 Business Days of the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Company shall file with the Commissioner a request for an advance ruling certificate pursuant to section 102 of the Competition Act or, in the alternative, a No Action Letter;

unless the Purchaser and the Company agree otherwise, within 10 Business Days of the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Company shall file with the Commissioner their respective complete pre-merger notification forms pursuant to section 114 of the Competition Act, unless the Purchaser and the Company agree otherwise; and

the Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Competition Act Approval as soon as reasonably practicable from the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to the Outside Date, which efforts include, without limitation, proposing, negotiating, agreeing to and effecting the sale, divestiture of the businesses or assets of the Parties or their affiliates (other than the Nova Group) or other remedy, which action shall be conditioned upon the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require any Party to propose, agree to or effect any action that is material to the Purchaser or the Company.

With respect to obtaining the Key Regulatory Approvals and the other matters identified in this Section 4.6, each of the Purchaser and the Company shall, shall cause the Liquor Subsidiaries and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Nova Group to, cooperate with one another and shall provide such assistance as any Party may reasonably request in connection with obtaining the Key Regulatory Approvals as soon as reasonably practicable from the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to the Outside Date. In particular:

no Party shall extend or consent to any extension of any applicable waiting or review period or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement, except upon the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);

the Parties shall exchange drafts of all submissions, material correspondence, filings, notifications, presentations, applications, plans and undertakings to be made or submitted to or filed with any Governmental Entity in respect of obtaining the Key Regulatory Approvals, and to the extent not precluded by such Governmental Entity, give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and will consider in good faith any suggestions made by the other Party and its counsel and will provide the other Party and its counsel with final copies of all such submissions, material correspondence, filings, notifications, presentations, applications, plans and undertakings submitted to or filed with any Governmental Entity in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement, provided that (i) submissions, material correspondence, filings, notifications, presentations, applications, plans and undertakings to or with any Governmental Entity may be redacted as necessary before sharing with the other Party to address reasonable solicitor-client or other privilege or competitively sensitive information, provided that the Party must provide on, an external counsel-only and privileged and confidential basis, un-redacted versions of such written materials with any Governmental Entity in connection with obtaining Regulatory Approvals, on the basis that the redacted information will not be shared with the other Party, (ii) no Party shall be required to share with any other Party or their external counsel any highly commercially sensitive information, and (iii) the Parties shall restrict access to the filings required by Section 4.6(2) to their employees and external counsel who have a need to know;

each Party will keep the other Party and its respective counsel fully apprised of all substantive written (including email) and oral communications and all meetings with any Governmental Entity and their staff in respect of the Key Regulatory Approvals, and, unless participation by a Party is prohibited by Law or by such Governmental Entity, shall provide the other Party with a reasonable opportunity to participate in such meetings; and

the Purchaser and, if reasonably required, the Company, shall cause the Liquor Subsidiaries and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Nova Group to, each contest and resist any action, including any proceedings, administrative or judicial action, and seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which has the effect of making the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation, or materially altering, the terms or conditions, of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement.

Notwithstanding any requirement in this Agreement, in the case of a disagreement between the Parties over the strategy, tactics or decisions relating to obtaining the Key Regulatory Approvals, the Purchaser shall, while considering the views and input of the Company in good faith and acting reasonably, have the final and ultimate authority over the appropriate strategy, tactics and decisions related to obtaining the Key Regulatory Approvals.

The Purchaser shall pay all filing fees (including any Taxes thereon) payable to any Governmental Entity in connection with any Regulatory Approvals.

From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, subject to Law and the terms of any existing Contracts, the Company shall: (i) give to the Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access to the Books and Records and Material Contracts of the Company and its Liquor Subsidiaries and subject to Section 4.7(3), its personnel, during normal business hours and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Liquor Subsidiaries; and (ii) furnish to the Purchaser and its Representatives such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request.

Neither the Purchaser nor any of its Representatives will contact any Company Employees, or any contractual counterparts of the Company or its Subsidiaries (in their capacity as such), except after consultation with and the approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a director of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to provide access to, or to disclose, any information to the Purchaser if the Company reasonably determines that such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney client or other privilege claim by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Investigations made by or on behalf of the Purchaser, whether under this Section 4.7(1) or otherwise, will not waive, diminish the scope of, or otherwise affect any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement.

For greater certainty, the Purchaser and its affiliates shall treat, and shall cause its Representatives to treat, all information furnished to the Purchaser or any of its affiliates or Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company Disclosure Letter and all information contained in it is confidential and shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be reasonably likely to:

cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time; or

result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party under this Agreement.

Notification provided under this Section 4.9 will not affect the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of the Parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

The Purchaser may not elect to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(d)(i) and the Company may not elect to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(c)(i), unless the Party seeking to terminate this 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, provided 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 10 Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice by the Breaching Party, if such matter has not been cured by such date. If the Terminating Party delivers a Termination Notice prior to the date of the Company Meeting or the making of the application for the Final Order, unless the Parties mutually agree otherwise, the Company shall postpone or adjourn the Company Meeting or delay making the application for the Final Order, or both, to the earlier of (a) 10 Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (b) the date that is 10 Business Days following receipt of such Termination Notice by the Breaching Party.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall purchase customary “tail” or “run off” policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance from insurers providing protection no less favourable in the aggregate than the protection provided by the policies maintained by the Company 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 the Purchaser will, or will cause the Company 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; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser will not be required to pay any amounts in respect of such coverage prior to the Effective Time.

The Purchaser shall, from and after the Effective Time, honour all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favour of present and former employees, officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries and acknowledges that such rights shall survive the completion of the 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.

If the Purchaser, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not a continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, the Purchaser shall ensure that any such successor or assign (including, as applicable, any acquirer of substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries) assumes all of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.10.

The Purchaser covenants and agrees, and after the Effective Time, will cause the Company and any successor to the Company to covenant and agree:

to recognize each Company Employee’s length of service record with the Company or the Liquor Subsidiaries, as applicable, with no diminishment in the Company Employee’s length of service record as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except where such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits;

based on the information that has been disclosed in writing by the Company to the Purchaser, not to provide severance payments to any Company Employee who is terminated without cause that are, in the aggregate, no less favourable for any such Company Employee than what the Company or a Liquor Subsidiary, as applicable, would have customarily provided to any such Company Employee (based on their local jurisdiction) as of the date of this Agreement;

until one year from the Closing Date, based on the information that has been disclosed in writing by the Company to the Purchaser, unless a Company Employee is terminated, to provide the Company Employees with compensation that is, in the aggregate no less favourable than the compensation provided to Company Employees from the levels in effect as of the date of this Agreement;

to use commercially reasonable efforts: (i) to cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health and welfare insurance plans of Purchaser or the Purchaser Subsidiaries to be waived with respect to the Company Employees and their eligible dependents to the extent that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such pre-conditions and limitations were not excluded from, and coverage was available under, the applicable Company Employee Plan(s), (ii) where the benefits provided under a Purchaser Employee Plan are subject to a deductible or annual limit in respect of the benefits provided to an individual during a certain period of time, to take into account the amount of any corresponding deductible or annual limit which has already been paid or applied by, or in respect of, the applicable Company Employee during such period and prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding Company Employee Plan, for the purpose of determining the amount of the deductible or annual limit to be paid or applied by, or in respect of, the Company Employee under the Purchaser Employee Plan after the Effective Time, and (iii) where service with the Purchaser is a relevant criterion under a Purchaser Employee Plan, to give each Company Employee service credit for such Company Employee’s employment with the Company or any Liquor Subsidiaries (and any predecessor entities), as applicable, for purposes of (A) vesting, (B) benefit accrual, (C) pay credit level in any cash balance or similar plan, (D) level of subsidy by Purchaser or any Purchaser Subsidiary for any health or welfare plan, and (E) eligibility to participate, in each case, under each applicable Purchaser Employee Plan, as if such service had been performed with Purchaser, except to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits or in the treatment of a Company Employee under such Purchaser Employee Plan that is more favorable than the treatment of a similarly situated Purchaser Employee of the same age and with the same years of service; and

without limiting the foregoing, to honour and comply, in all material respects, with the terms of all existing employment, indemnification, change in control, severance, termination or other compensation agreements and employment and severance obligations of the Company or any Liquor Subsidiary, as applicable.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to the Purchaser at the Effective Time evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser of the resignations, effective as of the Effective Time, of all: (i) of the directors of the Company who are not to form part of the Purchaser Board after the Effective Time; and (ii) all of the officers of the Company requested by the Purchaser. Such resignations shall be received in consideration for the Purchaser and the Company providing releases to each such persons, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and such resigning person, each acting reasonably (or in the case of officers who have a form of release attached to their relevant employment agreement, in such form as is attached to such agreement), which mutual releases shall contain exceptions for amounts or obligations owing to such directors and/or officers for accrued but unpaid salary, directors’ fees, bonus, payments in respect of the Company DSUs, Company PSUs and/or Company RSUs, other payments due pursuant to the Arrangement as a Company Shareholder, benefits and other compensation or pursuant to indemnity or directors’ and officers’ insurance arrangements, and for any payments that may be owing to them pursuant to the terms of their employment with the Company or any Liquor Subsidiary.

Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.14 shall require or be deemed to require the Purchaser to maintain, duplicate or replicate any specific Company Employee Plan or any specific coverage or benefit under or service provider in connection with such Company Employee Plan.

Except as expressly provided in this Article 5, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, through any director, Company Employee or Representative:

solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing or providing copies of, access to, or disclosure of, any confidential information, properties, facilities, Books and Records of the Company or any Liquor Subsidiary) any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal;

enter into or otherwise engage or participate in any negotiations or meaningful discussions with any Person (other than with the Purchaser or any Person acting jointly or in concert with the Purchaser) regarding any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company may (i) advise any Person of the restrictions of this Agreement, (ii) contact the Person for the purposes of seeking clarification of the terms of such Company Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) advise any Person making a Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined that such Company Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior Proposal, in each case, if, in so doing, no other information that is prohibited from being communicated under this Agreement is communicated to such Person;

make a Change in Recommendation;

accept, approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to accept, approve, endorse or recommend any Company Acquisition Proposal, or take no position or remain neutral with respect to any publicly announced Company Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that publicly taking no position or a neutral position with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal for a period of no more than five (5) Business Days following the formal announcement of such Company Acquisition Proposal will not be considered to be in violation of this Article 5 provided the Company Board has rejected such Company Acquisition Proposal or affirmed the Company Board Recommendation, as the case may be, by or before the end of such five (5) Business Day period); or

approve, recommend or enter into (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by and in accordance with Section 5.3) or publicly propose to enter into any agreement in respect of a Company Acquisition Proposal.

Except as expressly provided in this Article 5, the Company shall, and shall cause the Liquor Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate, and cause to be terminated, any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiations with any Person (other than with the Purchaser) with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to constitute a Company Acquisition Proposal, and in connection therewith, the Company will:

immediately discontinue access to and disclosure of all information, including any data room and any confidential information, properties, facilities, Books and Records of the Company and Liquor Subsidiaries; and

request, and exercise all rights it has to require the return or destruction of all copies of any confidential information (including all materials including or incorporating or otherwise reflecting such confidential information) regarding the Company or any Liquor Subsidiary provided to any Person other than the Purchaser in connection with such potential Company Acquisition Proposal (including before the date of this Agreement), including using its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such requests are fully complied with in accordance with the terms of such rights or entitlements.

The Company covenants and agrees not to release any Person from, or waive such Person’s obligations respecting the Company, under any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or restriction to which the Company is a party (it being acknowledged by the Purchaser that the automatic termination or release of any restrictions of any such agreements as a result of entering into and announcing this Agreement shall not be a violation of this Section 5.1(3)), except to allow such Person to make a Company Acquisition Proposal confidentially to the Company Board that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to, a Superior Proposal, provided that the remaining provisions of this Article 5 are complied with, and the Company undertakes to seek to enforce, or cause it Liquor Subsidiaries to seek to enforce, all confidentiality, standstill, or similar agreements or restrictions that it or any of its Liquor Subsidiaries have entered into prior to the date hereof or enter into after the date hereof.

the Company Board first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal; and

the Company has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under this Article 5.

If the Company receives a Company Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal prior to the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Company Shareholders, the Company Board may, or may cause the Company to, make a Change in Recommendation and approve, recommend or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

the Company has been, and continues to be, in compliance with its obligations under this Article 5;

the Company or its Representatives have delivered to the Purchaser a written notice of the determination of the Company Board that it has received a Superior Proposal and of the intention to approve, recommend or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, including a notice as to the value in financial terms that the Company Board has, in consultation with its financial advisors, determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under the Superior Proposal (the “Superior Proposal Notice”);

the Company or its Representatives have provided to the Purchaser a copy of any proposed definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal;

at least five (5) Business Days (the “Matching Period”) have elapsed from the date that is the later of the date on which the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and the date on which the Purchaser received a copy of the definitive agreement for the Superior Proposal;

after the Matching Period, the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (and, if applicable, compared to the terms of the Arrangement as proposed to be amended by the Purchaser under Section 5.4(2)); and

prior to or concurrently with making a Change in Recommendation or entering into such definitive agreement the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(1)(c)(ii) and pays the Termination Amount pursuant to Section 8.2(2).

During the Matching Period, or such longer period as the Company may approve in writing for such purpose: (a) the Company Board shall review any offer made by the Purchaser to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in good faith, after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors, in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Company Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and (b) the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the Purchaser to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the Purchaser and/or its affiliates to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms. If as a consequence of the foregoing the Company Board determines that such Company Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall promptly so advise the Purchaser and the Company and the Purchaser shall amend this Agreement to reflect such offer made by the Purchaser and shall take and cause to be taken all such actions as are necessary to give effect to the foregoing.

Each successive amendment to any Company Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the Company Shareholders or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Company Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 5.4, provided that the Matching Period in respect of such new Acquisition Proposal shall extend only until the later of the end of the initial five (5) Business Day Matching Period and 36 hours after the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice for the new Company Acquisition Proposal.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from responding through a directors’ circular or otherwise as required by applicable Securities Laws to a Company Acquisition Proposal that it determines is not a Superior Proposal. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company Board from making any disclosure to the Company Shareholders if the Company Board, acting in good faith and upon the advice of its outside legal and financial advisors, shall have determined that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board or such disclosure is otherwise required under Law; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the Company Board shall be permitted to make such disclosure, the Company Board shall not be permitted to make a Change in Recommendation, other than as permitted by Section 5.4(1).

If the Company provides a Superior Proposal Notice to the Purchaser after a date that is less than five (5) Business Days before the Company Meeting, the Company shall be entitled to, and shall upon request from the Purchaser, postpone the Company Meeting to a date that is not more than fifteen (15) Business Days after the scheduled date of the Company Meeting (and, in any event, prior to the Outside Date).

Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement are true and correct as of the Effective Time (except for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, the accuracy of which shall be determined as of such specified date), except to the extent that the failure or failures of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect (and, for this purpose, any reference to “material”, “Company Material Adverse Effect” or other concepts of materiality in such representations and warranties shall be ignored); and the Company has delivered a certificate confirming same to the Purchaser, executed by two executive officers of the Company (in each case on behalf of the Company and without personal liability) addressed to the Purchaser and dated the Effective Date.

No Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Parties or the Arrangement shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Award (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) against the Company or its Subsidiaries or in respect of the Arrangement which is then in effect and, directly or indirectly, has the effect of materially altering the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, preventing, restricting, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Parties from consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, in particular, the Arrangement and any Pre-Closing Reorganization), or that would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect either before or after completion of the Arrangement. Other than in relation to the Competition Act Approval, no Action shall have been taken, commenced, enacted, promulgated, enforced, pending, or, to the knowledge of the Company, threated by any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction which, directly or indirectly, prevents, restricts, enjoins or otherwise prohibits (or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, restricting, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting) the Parties from consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, in particular, the Arrangement and any Pre-Closing Reorganization), or that would or that would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Nova Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, either before or after completion of the Arrangement.

Except as provided in Section 2.4(5) and Section 4.10 which, without limiting their terms, are intended as stipulations for the benefit of the third parties mentioned in such provisions (such third parties referred to in this Section 8.8 as the “Third Party Beneficiaries”) and except for the rights of the Affected Securityholders to receive the applicable consideration following the Effective Time pursuant to the Arrangement (for which purpose the Company hereby confirms that it is acting as agent on behalf of the Affected Securityholders), 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.

Despite the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge to each of the Third Party Beneficiaries their direct rights against the applicable Party under Section 2.4(5) and Section 4.10, which are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Third Party Beneficiary, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives, and for such purpose, the Company confirms that it is acting as agent on their behalf and agrees to enforce such provisions on their behalf.

This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by the Company and the Purchaser. After that time, it will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Company, the Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations under this Agreement are assignable or transferable by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that the Purchaser may assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries provided that such assignment does not delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but no such assignment shall relieve the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.

This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal Laws of Canada applicable therein.

Each Party irrevocably attorns and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Alberta courts situated in the City of Calgary and waives objection to the venue of any proceeding in such court or that such court provides an inconvenient forum.

at the Effective Time, all Company Shares held by Dissenting Holders shall be deemed to have been transferred (free and clear of all Liens) to the Company in consideration for a debt claim against the Company (to be settled by the Company with its own available funds on hand and not funds directly or indirectly provided by the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser) for the amount determined under Section 5.1,

such Dissenting Holders shall cease to be the holders of such Company Shares and to have any rights as Company Shareholders other than the right to be paid the fair value for such Company Shares as set out in Section 5.1; and

the name of each such Dissenting Holder shall be removed as Company Shareholder, as applicable, from the registers of Company Shareholders, as applicable, maintained by or on behalf of Company in respect of such Company Shares and such Company Shares shall be cancelled and cease to be outstanding; and

each Company Share held by a Company Shareholder (other than a Dissenting Holder) shall be transferred (free and clear of all Liens) to the Purchaser in consideration for the Consideration.

each such Company Shareholder shall cease to be a Company Shareholder and to have any rights other than the right to receive the Consideration issuable to such Company Shareholder under this Plan of Arrangement, and the name of each such Company Shareholder shall be removed from the register of Company Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of Company;

the Purchaser shall become the transferee (free and clear of all Liens) of the Company Shares transferred to the Purchaser by each such Company Shareholder and shall be added to the register of Company Shareholders maintained by or on behalf of Company; and

the Purchaser shall cause to be issued, paid and delivered the aggregate Consideration issuable, payable and deliverable to each such Company Shareholder, and the name of each such Company Shareholder shall be added to the register of holders of Purchaser Shares maintained by or on behalf of Purchaser, as the case may be.

Registered Company Shareholders may exercise dissent rights with respect to the Company Shares held by such holders (“Dissent Rights”) in connection with the Arrangement pursuant to and in the manner set forth in section 190 of the CBCA, as modified by the Interim Order and this Section 5.1; provided that, notwithstanding subsection 190(5) of the CBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in subsection 190(5) of the CBCA must be received by the Company not later than 5:00 p.m. (Calgary time) five (5) Business Days immediately preceding the date of the Company Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time).

Dissenting Holders who duly exercise their Dissent Rights shall be deemed to have transferred the Company Shares held by them and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised to the Company free and clear of all Liens, as provided in Section 3.1(a), and if they:

ultimately are entitled to be paid fair value for such Company Shares: (A) they shall be deemed not to have participated in the transactions in Article 3 (other than Section 3.1(a)); (B) will be entitled to be paid an amount equal to the fair value of such Company Shares by the Company (with Company funds and not funds directly or indirectly provided by the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser), which fair value shall be determined as of the close of business on the Business Day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted; and (C) will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such Dissenting Holder not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Company Shares; or

ultimately are not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for such Company Shares, they shall: (A) be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement, commencing at the Effective Time, on the same basis as a non-Dissenting Holder of Company Shares

In no circumstances shall the Purchaser, the Company or any other Person be required to recognize a Person exercising Dissent Rights unless such Person is the registered holder of those Company Shares in respect of which such Dissent Rights are sought to be exercised.

For greater certainty, in no case shall the Purchaser, the Company or any other Person be required to recognize Dissenting Holders as holders of Company Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised after the completion of the transfer under Section 3.1(a), and the names of such Dissenting Holders shall be deemed to be removed from the registers of holders of the Company Shares in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised at the same time as the events described in Section 3.1(a) occurs. In addition to any other restrictions under section 190 of the CBCA, Company Shareholders who vote or have instructed a proxyholder to vote such Company Shares in favour of the Arrangement Resolution (but only in respect of such Company Shares) shall not be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.

Prior to the Effective Time, and prior to the filing of the Articles of Arrangement with the Director, the Purchaser shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Depositary certificates representing, or other evidence regarding the issuance of, the aggregate Consideration that the Company Shareholders are entitled to receive under the Arrangement (calculated without reference to whether any Company Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights).

Forthwith following the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall cause to be issued to each Company Shareholder the number of Purchaser Shares required by Section 3.1(b), as adjusted, if applicable, pursuant to Section 3.2. The Depositary shall deliver the Consideration in respect of those Company Shares that were transferred or deemed to be transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(b) which are held on a which are held on a book-based basis, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 6.3, in accordance with normal industry practice for payments relating to securities held on a book-based only basis. With respect to those Company Shares not held on a book-based basis. With respect to Company Shares not held on a book-based only basis, upon the surrender to the Depositary of a certificate, letter or other instrument, as applicable which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Company Shares that were transferred or deemed to be transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(b), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, each Company Share represented by such surrendered certificate(s), letter(s) or other instrument(s) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to the applicable Company Shareholder as directed in the Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable and in accordance with Section 4.1(c) the Consideration that such Company Shareholder is entitled to receive under this Plan of Arrangement, in each case less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 6.3, and any certificate(s) so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 6.1, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares shall be deemed, immediately after the completion of the transactions contemplated in Section 4.1(c) to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Consideration in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in Section 4.1(c). Subject to any applicable Laws relating to unclaimed personal property, any such certificate, letter or other instrument, as applicable, formerly representing outstanding Company Shares that is not duly surrendered on or before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former Company Shareholder of any kind or nature against or in the Purchaser or the Company.

Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary or by the Company pursuant to the Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or the Company or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of any Company Shareholder to receive the Consideration for any Company Shares pursuant to the Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, for no consideration.

No Company Shareholder shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to Company Shares other than the Consideration to which such Company Shareholder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1 and no such Company Shareholder shall be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith, other than any declared but unpaid dividends with a record date prior to the Effective Date. No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Company Shares or with a record date on or after the Effective Date shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate, letter or other instrument which, immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented outstanding Company Shares.

All dividends payable with respect to any Purchaser Shares allotted and issued pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement for which a certificate, letter or other instrument has not been issued shall be paid or delivered to the Depositary to be held by the Depositary in trust for the registered holder thereof. All monies received by the Depositary shall be invested by it in interest-bearing trust accounts upon such terms as the Depositary may reasonably deem appropriate. The Depositary shall pay and deliver to any such registered holder, as soon as reasonably practicable after application therefor is made by the registered holder to the Depositary in such form as the Depositary may reasonably require, such dividends and any interest thereon to which such holder is entitled, net of applicable withholding and other taxes.

Each Liquor Subsidiary and member of the Nova Group is a corporation, partnership, trust or limited partnership, as the case may be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the applicable Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, as the case may be, and has all requisite corporate, trust or partnership power and authority, as the case may be, to own, and operate its assets and conduct its business as now owned and conducted, except where the failure to be so organized, validly existing, qualified or in good standing, would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Other than as disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company is, directly or indirectly, the registered and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Liquor Subsidiaries and Nova, in each case free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

The Company is the registered and beneficial owner of the Nova Shares, which Nova Shares held by the Company are free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens as disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter).

Securities Law Matters.

The Company is a “reporting issuer” under applicable Securities Laws in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador (the “Company Reporting Jurisdictions”). The Company Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX. The Company is not in default of any material requirements of any Securities Laws or the rules and regulations of the TSX.

As of the date of this Agreement, the Company has not taken any action to cease to be a reporting issuer in any of the Company Reporting Jurisdictions nor has the Company received notification from any Securities Authority seeking to revoke the reporting issuer status of the Company. As of the date of this Agreement, no delisting, suspension of trading or cease trade or other order or restriction with respect to any securities of the Company is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

The Company has filed with the Securities Authorities all material forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed under Securities Laws since January 1, 2020. The documents comprising the Company Filings complied as filed in all material respects with applicable Law and did not, as of the date filed (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing prior to the date of this Agreement, on the date of such subsequent filing), contain any Misrepresentation. The Company has not filed any confidential material change report which at the date of this Agreement remains confidential. To the knowledge of the Company, neither the Company nor any of the Company Filings is subject of an ongoing audit, review, comment or investigation by any Securities Authority or the TSX.

The Company Shares are not and are not required to be registered pursuant to Section 12 of the U.S. Exchange Act. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act. The Company is not required to be registered as an “investment company” under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940.

Financial Statements. The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (including any of the notes or schedules thereto, the auditor’s report thereon and the related management’s discussion and analysis) and the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements (including any of the notes or schedules thereto and related management’s discussion and analysis included in the Company Filings) included in the Company Filings were prepared in accordance with IFRS, and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated statement of income, comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of their respective dates and for the respective periods covered by such financial statements (except as may be expressly indicated in the notes to such financial statements), subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of notes in the case of any interim financial statements. The Company does not intend to correct or restate, nor, to the knowledge of the Company is there any basis for any correction or restatement of, any aspect of any of the Company’s financial statements included in the Company Filings (other than any corrections or restatements required as a result of changes in IFRS that have retroactive application). There are no, nor are there any commitments to become a party to, any off-balance sheet transaction, arrangement, obligation (including contingent obligations) or other similar relationships of the Company, any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of the Company, Nova or Nova’s Subsidiaries, with unconsolidated entities or other Persons.

Books and Records. Since the incorporation or amalgamation, as applicable, of the corresponding entity, all accounting and financial Books and Records have been maintained in all material respects in accordance with IFRS and fairly reflect, in all material respects in accordance with IFRS applied on a basis consistent with prior periods, the consolidated financial position of the Company and all the material transactions, acquisitions and dispositions of the Company and the Liquor Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Disclosure Controls and Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

The Purchaser is a “reporting issuer” under applicable Securities Laws in each of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, North West Territories, Yukon and Nunavut (the “Purchaser Reporting Jurisdictions”). The Purchaser Shares are registered under Section 12(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act and listed on NASDAQ. The Purchaser is not in default of any material requirements of any Securities Laws or the NASDAQ listing rules and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Purchaser Shares from the NASDAQ in the foreseeable future.

As of the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser has not taken any action to cease to be a reporting issuer in any of the Purchaser Reporting Jurisdictions nor has the Purchaser received notification from any Securities Authority seeking to revoke the reporting issuer status of the Purchaser. As of the date of this Agreement, no delisting, suspension of trading or cease trade or other order or restriction with respect to any securities of the Purchaser is pending or, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, threatened.

The Purchaser has filed with the Securities Authorities all material forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed under Securities Laws since January 1, 2020.

None of the Purchaser, its affiliates, nor any person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Purchaser Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement under the U.S. Securities Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise.

Except as disclosed in the Purchaser’s Form 20-F filed on March 18, 2021, the Purchaser and the Purchaser Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 and the U.S. Exchange Act, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.
