DELIVERY OF CONSIDERATION
| 5.1 | Delivery of Consideration |

| 5.2 | Lost Certificates |
In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Corporation Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1 shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the consideration that such person is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1, deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal and Election Form. When authorizing the delivery of such consideration in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom the consideration is being delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such consideration, give a bond satisfactory to the Corporation, the Purchaser and the Depositary in such sum as the Corporation, the Purchaser or the Depositary may direct or otherwise indemnify the Corporation, the Purchaser and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to the Corporation, the Purchaser and the Depositary against any claim that may be made against the Corporation, the Purchaser or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the former Subject Securityholder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity within the time required by and in accordance with applicable laws.
| 5.4 | Extinction of Rights |
Any amounts deposited with the Depositary for the payment of Consideration or Holdco Share Consideration to Subject Securityholders pursuant to Section 3.1 which remain unclaimed on the date which is three years less a day from the Effective Date shall be forfeited to the Applicable Purchaser and paid over to or as directed by the Purchaser and the former Subject Securityholder shall thereafter have no right to receive their respective entitlement to the Consideration or Holdco Share Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1, as applicable.
| 5.5 | Dividends and Distributions |
