Within forty-five (45) days after delivery of a ROFO Notice, the ROFO Offeror shall either: (a) deliver a written offer to the ROFO Offeree to purchase the Subject Ownership Interest (a “ROFO Offer”) or (b) deliver a written notice to the ROFO Offeree that the ROFO Offeror will not make a ROFO Offer (a “ROFO Declination”). If the ROFO Offeror fails to deliver either a ROFO Offer or a ROFO Declination within such forty-five (45)-day period, the ROFO Offeror will be deemed to have delivered a ROFO Declination.

(3)

Unless a ROFO Offer is accepted pursuant to written notice from the ROFO Offeree to the ROFO Offeror within ten (10) days following the delivery of a ROFO Offer (the “ROFO Acceptance Period”), such ROFO Offer shall be deemed to have been rejected by the ROFO Offeree. In the event that the ROFO Offeree validly rejects a ROFO Offer or the ROFO Offeror delivers or is deemed to have delivered a ROFO Declination, subject to complying with its obligations pursuant to Section 7.6, the ROFO Offeree shall be free to Transfer the Subject Ownership Interest to any Third Party; provided that in the event the ROFO Offeror has previously delivered a ROFO Offer that was rejected by the ROFO Offeree, the ROFO Offeree shall only be permitted to enter into a definitive agreement to Transfer the Subject Ownership Interest (A) during the nine month period following the expiration of the ROFO Acceptance Period, (B) at a price greater than or equal to 105% of the price offered in the ROFO Offer, and (C) on terms and conditions (economic and otherwise) that are not materially less favorable (in the aggregate) to the ROFO Offeree than the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Offer. If at the end of such nine month period the ROFO Offeree shall not have completed the Transfer of the Subject Ownership Interest, then it shall once again be required to comply with this Section 7.5.

(4)

If a ROFO Offer is accepted during the ROFO Acceptance Period the ROFO Offeror shall acquire the Subject Ownership Interest, and the ROFO Offeree shall Transfer the Subject Ownership Interest to the ROFO Offeror, at the price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Offer; provided that neither party shall be required to provide any representations or warranties with respect to such Transfer other than customary fundamental representations and warranties as to ownership, title and due authorization.

(5)

A sale by a ROFO Offeree of a Subject Ownership Interest to a ROFO Offeror shall be completed in accordance with the provisions in Article 11, provided however, that the closing of such sale shall be not later than ninety (90) days from the date on which the ROFO Offer is accepted and the consideration paid to the ROFO Offeree by the ROFO Offeror shall be as set out in the ROFO Offer or such later date as may be required to facilitate obtaining any required consents or approvals of any Governmental Agency or counterparty to a Project Agreement that is required in connection with such sale.


7.6	Tag-Along Rights

Subject to first complying with Section 7.5, if at any time Pattern desires to effect a bona fide Transfer of some or all of its Units whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions (the “Tag Sale Interests” and, any such transactions or series of related transactions, a “Tag Along Sale”) to any Third Party (a “Tag Along Purchaser”), then Pattern shall be required to provide PSP with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (the “Tag Along Notice”) of such proposed Tag Along Sale. Such Tag Along Notice shall (A) identify the Tag Along Purchaser, the amount of Tag Sale Interests proposed to be Transferred by Pattern, the percentage of the then-issued and outstanding Units that such proposed Tag Sale Interests represents, the price per Tag Sale Interest, and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Tag Along Sale and (B) be accompanied by forms of all agreements (including any schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto) to be entered into by or on behalf or for the account or otherwise for the benefit of Pattern in connection with the proposed Transfer. Within twenty (20) days following receipt by PSP of the Tag Along Notice, PSP may, by providing written notice (which notice shall be deemed to be irrevocable when sent) (the “Tag Along Acceptance Notice”) to Pattern, elect to Transfer to the Tag Along Purchaser, as part of the Tag Along Sale, an amount of Units owned by PSP (the “Tagging Interests”) up to the total amount of issued and outstanding Units proposed to be Transferred to the Tag Along Purchaser pursuant to the Tag Along Sale multiplied by PSP’s Unit Interest, at the same purchase price per Unit as Pattern and otherwise on the same terms therefor and subject to the same conditions thereto. Neither Pattern nor any Affiliate thereof shall have entered into any collateral agreement, commitment or understanding with the Tag Along Purchaser or its affiliates that has or would have the effect of providing to Pattern or any such Affiliate consideration of greater value than the consideration offered pursuant to the Tag Along Sale; provided that such restriction shall not apply to any commercial agreement in effect at the time of such transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the O&M Contract and PAA) that was entered into following receipt of any approvals, if any, required by PSP pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Shareholders Agreement. If the Tag Along Purchaser does not accept all of the Tagging Interests tendered by PSP, then Pattern shall have the option to either (a) proportionately reduce the number of Tag Sale Interests and Tagging Interests to account for the maximum number of ownership interests that the Tag Along Purchaser is willing to purchase or (b) abandon the Tag Along Sale. If PSP does not deliver a Tag Along Acceptance Notice within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Tag Along Notice, PSP shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to the Transfer of its Units pursuant to the applicable Tag Along Sale and Pattern shall have until one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period after the date of the Tag Along Notice in which to Transfer the ownership interests described in the Tag Along Notice on terms not materially more favorable (in the aggregate) to Pattern than those set forth in the Tag Along Notice. If at the end of such one hundred eighty (180) day period Pattern shall not have completed the Transfer of all of Pattern’s ownership interests contemplated to be Transferred in the Tag Along Notice (reduced to account for any and all Tagging Interests (if any)), then PSP’s tag along rights shall again apply with respect to any such unsold ownership interests.


7.7	Drag Along Rights

(1)

Subject to first complying with its obligations pursuant to Section 7.5, at any time, if Pattern desires to effect a bona fide Transfer of all (but not less than all) of its Units whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions (the “Drag Sale Interests” and, any such transactions or series of related transactions, a “Drag Along Sale”) to any Third Party for cash, then Pattern shall (in its sole discretion) be permitted to deliver written notice to PSP of such Drag Along Sale no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the anticipated date of consummation of such Drag Along Sale (the “Drag Along Notice”). Such Drag Along Notice shall (a) identify the purchaser, the purchase price per Drag Sale Interests therefor and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Drag Along Sale and (b) be accompanied by forms of all agreements (including any schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto) to be entered into by or on behalf or for the account or otherwise for the benefit of Pattern, as applicable, in connection with the Drag Along Sale. Following receipt of the Drag Along Notice, PSP shall be obligated to sell to the purchaser all of PSP’s Units at the same purchase price per security, and otherwise on the same terms therefor and subject to the same conditions thereto, as Pattern.

(2)

Pattern shall not have entered into any collateral agreement, commitment or understanding with the purchaser or its affiliates that has or would have the effect of providing to Pattern consideration of greater value than the consideration offered pursuant to the Drag Along Sale; provided that such restriction shall not apply to any commercial agreement in effect at the time of such transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the O&M Contract and PAA) that was entered into following receipt of any approvals, if any, required by PSP pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Shareholders Agreement.

(3)

PSP shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to the Drag Along Sale other than customary fundamental representations and warranties as to ownership, title and due authorization and PSP shall be solely responsible for the accuracy of such representations and warranties (and shall not have any liability for any such fundamental representations and warranties of Pattern). Notwithstanding the foregoing, PSP shall only be responsible for any indemnification obligations, escrow amounts and holdback amounts in connection with the Drag Along Sale (including with respect to any representations and warranties made by Pattern (other than the fundamental representations and warranties referred to above)) on a several and proportionate (and not joint and several) basis in accordance with its Unit Interest relative to Pattern. PSP shall not be required to enter into or be bound by any non-compete or similar restrictive covenants in connection with any Drag Along Sale.

(4)

If PSP is not represented on the closing date of the Drag Along Sale or is represented but fails for any reason whatsoever to produce and deliver any required instruments and documents as may be necessary or desirable to give effect to the sale and transfer of applicable Units held by PSP and as may be necessary to discharge any encumbrance that affects such Units (collectively, the “Third Party Transfer Documents”) to the Third Party, then the price per Unit payable to PSP in connection with the Drag Along Sale, subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 11.5), may be deposited by the Third Party in a special account in the name of PSP at a branch of the bank used by the Third Party. Such deposit shall constitute valid and effective payment of any purchase price payable to PSP pursuant to this Section 7.7 even though PSP has, in breach of this Agreement, voluntarily encumbered or disposed of any of the Units and notwithstanding the fact that a conveyance or conveyances or assignment or assignments of the Units may have been delivered in breach of this Agreement to any alleged pledgee, transferee or other Person. If the purchase price payable to PSP pursuant to this Section 7.7 is deposited as aforesaid then, from and after the date of such deposit, and even though the Third Party Transfer Documents have not been delivered to the Third Party, the purchase of the Units being sold by PSP shall be deemed to have been fully completed and all right, title, benefit and interest, both at law and in equity, in and to such Units shall be conclusively deemed to have been transferred and assigned to and become vested in the Third Party and all right, title, benefit and interest, both at law and in equity, of PSP, or of any transferee, assignee or any other Person having any interest, legal or equitable, therein or thereto shall cease and determine, provided, however, that PSP shall be entitled to receive the purchase price payable to PSP pursuant to this Section 7.7 so deposited, with interest, upon delivery to the Third Party of the Third Party Transfer Documents.

(5)

PSP hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Third Party as its true and lawful attorney and agent in the name of and on behalf of PSP to execute and deliver in the name of PSP all such assignments, transfers, deeds or instruments as may be necessary to effectively transfer and assign the Units held by PSP to the Third Party, provided that such assignments, transfers, deeds and instruments do not conflict with the provisions of this Section 7.7. Such appointment and power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall not be revoked by the dissolution, winding-up, bankruptcy or insolvency of PSP and PSP hereby ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm all that the Third Party may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of the provisions hereof. PSP hereby irrevocably consents to the transfer of its Units made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.7.


(6)	PSP and its Permitted Transferees shall be obligated to, and hereby do, waive any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with any Drag Along Sale.


(7)	If, substantially concurrently with the closing of a Drag Along Sale, the purchaser in such transaction terminates or agrees to terminate the O&M Contract and/or PAA, Pattern will waive any termination fees payable under the terminated O&M Contract or PAA, as applicable.


7.8	Conditions to Admission

In addition, PSP may not Transfer any Units, at any time, to a Competitor. In addition, no Limited Partner may Transfer any Units (other than to a Controlled Affiliate) unless such Limited Partner or its Affiliate holding shares in the capital of the General Partner and the Manager, as applicable, also Transfers all or part of such shares to the Transferee (or its Affiliate) in accordance with Article 6 of the Shareholder Agreement and Article 6 of the Manager Shareholder Agreement, as applicable.

(a)	a certificate or certificates representing the Units being Transferred by the seller, duly endorsed in blank for transfer or accompanied by a duly executed stock power of transfer in appropriate form;


(b)	a release of any Encumbrances on the Units being Transferred; and


(c)	a certificate of the seller stating that the seller is not a non-resident of Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act or is, if the seller is a partnership, a “Canadian partnership” for purposes of the Income Tax Act.


11.3	Payment

The buyer will pay for the Units being purchased pursuant to this Agreement by a draft drawn on, or a cheque certified by, or a wire transfer initiated by a Canadian or U.S. chartered bank or trust company.


11.4	Allocation of Purchase Price

Unless otherwise specified herein, on any Transfer of Units the allocation of the purchase price for such Units will be to each Unit, equally per Unit.


11.5	Indebtedness between Seller and the Partnership

(1)

If, on the date of closing of any sale and purchase of all or any part of the Units of a seller, the seller is indebted to the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries or has failed to return any property of the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries, then, unless the General Partner and the seller otherwise agree in writing, the buyer will at the time of closing of such purchase and sale pay to the General Partner the purchase price payable for the Units being sold and the General Partner, acting reasonably, will apply such purchase price to repayment of the indebtedness of the seller to the Partnership or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, and, if applicable, retain an amount equivalent to the fair value of the property of the Partnership or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, as security for the return of such property. If the seller sells all of its Units and the indebtedness of the seller to the Partnership or any Subsidiary exceeds the purchase price for the Units being sold, then the seller will at the time of closing pay the balance of such indebtedness to the General Partner to retire such indebtedness. If the purchase price for the Units being sold exceeds the indebtedness of the seller to the Partnership or any Subsidiary, the General Partner will pay the balance to the seller at the time of closing of such sale and purchase less, if applicable, such amount as it may retain, acting reasonably, equivalent to the fair value of the property of the Partnership or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, as security for the return of such property.


(2)	If, on the date of closing of any sale and purchase of all of the Units of a seller, the Partnership or any Subsidiary is indebted to the seller, the Partnership or such Subsidiary will, at the time of closing, repay such indebtedness at its face value plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(3)

Notwithstanding anything else herein contained, if on the date of closing of any sale and purchase of Units of a seller to a Third Party, a seller or its Affiliates is indebted to such Third Party or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or for any other reason related to the Project, the Third Party shall be entitled to deduct the amount of such indebtedness from the purchase price of the Units in full satisfaction thereof.


11.6	Failure to Transfer Units

If any Limited Partner defaults in transferring Units pursuant to a Transfer that is required pursuant to Article 7, and except as otherwise provided in Section 7.7, the General Partner is authorized and directed to receive the purchase money therefor from the buyer and thereupon to record the transfer of Units, to enter the name of the buyer in the registers of the Partnership as the holder of the Units purchased by the buyer from the seller, and cause to be issued to the buyer Unit Certificates for such Units in the name of the buyer. The General Partner will hold the purchase money received by it in trust on behalf of the seller and will not commingle the purchase money with the General Partner’s or the Partnership’s assets, except that any interest accruing thereon will be for the account of the Partnership. The receipt by the General Partner of the purchase money will be a good discharge to the buyer and, after the name of the buyer has been entered in the registers of the Partnership as the holder of the Units purchased by it, the purchase and sale will be deemed completed at the price and on the terms and conditions contemplated herein and the buyer will for all purposes own the Units purchased by it. Upon such registration, the seller will cease to have any right to or in respect of the Units except the right to receive, without interest, the purchase money received by the General Partner upon surrender of any certificates that previously represented such Units.

ARTICLE 12
CONFIDENTIALITY


12.1	Confidentiality

(1)

Subject to the provisions of this ‎Section 12.1, each Partner shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Representatives to, keep confidential all information, documentation and records obtained from the Partnership, the Project Partnership and their respective Affiliates and Representatives as well as any information arising out of any Partner’s access to the books and records of the Partnership or the Project Partnership (collectively, the “Confidential Information”); provided that except as set forth in ‎Section 12.1(2), nothing herein shall restrict or prohibit any Partner from disclosing Confidential Information to its Representatives, in each case who first are instructed to maintain Confidential Information confidential on substantially similar terms as those contained in this ‎Section 12.1(1); provided, further, that such Partner shall be liable for any breach of this ‎Section 12.1 by any such Person as if such Partner had itself committed such breach. “Confidential Information” shall not include: (1) public information or information in the public domain at the time of its receipt by PSP or its Representatives; (2) information which becomes public through no fault or act of PSP or its Representatives; or (3) information received by PSP or its Affiliates in good faith from a third party lawfully in possession of the information and not in breach of any confidentiality obligations. PSP acknowledges that it is aware that (i) Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information (as defined below) contains material, non-public information regarding the Partnership, the Project Partnership, their respective Affiliates and PEGI and (ii) United States and Canadian securities laws prohibit any persons who have material, non-public information from purchasing or selling securities of a company using such information or from communicating such information to any Person (including its Affiliates) under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such Person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. PSP further confirms that it has in place internal information protection mechanisms to prevent unauthorized use of the Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information.

(2)

“Competitively Sensitive Information” shall mean information regarding the Partnership, the Project Partnership or their respective Affiliates that PEGI determines that one or more Affiliates of PSP could reasonably be expected to use to compete with PEGI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (including Article 9), in no event shall PSP be entitled to receive Competitively Sensitive Information, and PSP shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain any Competitively Sensitive Information of which it or any of their Representatives is or becomes aware in strict confidence; provided that the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership or the Project Partnership, shall provide PSP with a commercially reasonable description of the nature of any Competitively Sensitive Information that would otherwise have been provided to PSP but for this ‎Section 12.1(2) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide substitute disclosure to PSP that, to the greatest extent practicable under the circumstances, will enable PSP to exercise its rights under this Agreement, the Shareholder Agreement and the Manager Shareholder Agreement in substantially the same manner as if PSP had full access to such Competitively Sensitive Information and that is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to PSP.

(3)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict any Partner or any of its Affiliates from disclosing, without the agreement of the Partnership, the Project Partnership or their respective Affiliates, as applicable: (a) Confidential Information required to be disclosed under any Applicable Law (including applicable securities laws) or the rules of any securities exchange; (b) Confidential Information required to be disclosed to its lenders or other creditors on a confidential basis; provided that in no event shall this clause (b) permit the disclosure of any Competitively Sensitive Information. Any Partner disclosing Confidential Information, as applicable in accordance with this ‎Section 12.1 shall use reasonable efforts to (i) advise the Partnership and the Project Partnership and the other Partners of the details of the required disclosure and (ii) if permitted by Applicable Law, obtain the comments of the Partnership, the Project Partnership and such other Partners on the wording of the proposed disclosure prior to making such disclosure.

(4)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall PSP, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives, share any Confidential Information or Competitively Sensitive Information with any portfolio companies or other investments of PSP (or any of their respective Representatives other than employees of PSP who are acting in their capacity as Representatives of PSP and do not use such information for any purpose other than in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and PSP shall, and shall cause its Affiliates that receive Confidential Information or Competitively Sensitive Information to, use customary information barriers to ensure that no portfolio company or other investment of PSP or any of their respective Representatives (other than employees of PSP who are acting in their capacity as Representatives of PSP and do not use such information for any purpose other than in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) has access to any Confidential Information or Competitively Sensitive Information.


(5)	This Agreement will not be construed as granting expressly or by implication during its terms or thereafter any interest in or rights or license with respect to any Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise by or on behalf of the Partnership, the Project Partnership or their respective Affiliates.

(6)

In the event of a breach of a Partner’s obligations under this Section 12.1, the Partner must, as soon as practicable following discovery of the breach, give written notice to the Partnership and the Project Partnership of the nature of the breach. The Partner must immediately, and upon consultation with the Partnership and the Project Partnership, take all necessary reasonable steps to limit the extent of the breach.

(7)

Disclosure or use of Confidential Information and Competitively Sensitive Information contrary to, or other breach of, this Agreement, or any other failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement by a Partner, will give rise to irreparable injury to the Partnership, the Project Partnership and their respective Affiliates, inadequately compensable in damages. The Partners acknowledge and agree that the Partnership, the Project Partnership and their respective Affiliates, as applicable, may, in addition to any other remedy and in conjunction with Section 15.16, enforce the performance of this Agreement by way of injunction or specific performance upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction without proof of actual damages (and without the requirement of posting a bond or other security). The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights and remedies available at law or equity.


(8)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting a Partner’s obligations under this Agreement, each Partner also agrees to comply with all provisions contained in the Project LPA which relate to obligations of confidentiality (or any related obligations and covenants) in favour of the Project Partnership and its Affiliates.


12.2	Public Announcements

Each Limited Partner shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, to consult with the other Limited Partner and provide that other Limited Partner a reasonable opportunity to comment before issuing any press release or making any other public announcement regarding the other Limited Partner, provided that (i) in the case of any disclosure required by Applicable Law or stock exchange rule, such consultation and opportunity to comment shall only be required to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances and (ii) no consultation and opportunity to comment shall be required with respect to any disclosure that is substantially similar to prior public disclosure made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.


12.3	Subsidiaries as Third Party Beneficiaries

The provisions of this Article 12 will enure to the benefit of the Partnership, the Project Partnership and their respective Subsidiaries, if any, notwithstanding that the Project Partnership and the foregoing Subsidiaries are not parties hereto.


12.4	Survival

The provisions of this Article 12 will survive the termination of this Agreement or dissolution of the Partnership.

ARTICLE 13
TERM, TERMINATION AND DEFAULT


13.1	Term

The Partnership will continue until the Partnership is dissolved pursuant to Section 13.2 or by operation of law, and the property of the Partnership has been distributed as provided for herein.


13.2	Termination

The Partnership shall continue from the date hereof until it is dissolved upon the first to occur of the following:


(a)	by a notice given by the General Partner to the Limited Partners not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of dissolution;


(b)	the disposition of all or substantially all of the property of the Partnership;


(c)	the dissolution, bankruptcy or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the General Partner (unless proper provision is made for the appointment of a substitute general partner); or


(d)	the occurrence of any other event causing the dissolution of the Partnership under the Act or other Applicable Law.

Subject where applicable to compliance with the provisions of the Act for the renewal thereof, the Partnership shall not dissolve or terminate upon the death, bankruptcy, assignment of property in trust for the benefit of creditors or withdrawal of or attempted withdrawal by any Limited Partner, or the admission of any additional or substituted limited partners.


13.3	Limited Return of Capital Contributions Upon Dissolution

Each Partner will look solely to the property of the Partnership for all distributions and will have no recourse therefor, upon dissolution or otherwise, against the property of any other Partner. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Partnership, the business of the Partnership and the affairs of the Partners, as such, will continue to be governed by this Agreement until termination of the Partnership, as provided for in this Agreement. Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner, or, if there is no General Partner, a liquidator (who may be a Partner) appointed by the written approval of all of the Limited Partners, will liquidate the property of the Partnership and apply and distribute the proceeds thereof as contemplated by this Agreement.


13.4	Distribution Upon Liquidation


(1)	The General Partner, or if there is none, the liquidator appointed pursuant to Section 13.3, as the case may be, will cause the Partnership Declaration to be cancelled and file a declaration of dissolution, together with any other document necessary, desirable or useful in connection with the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership pursuant to the Act.


(2)	The General Partner or liquidator, as applicable, will liquidate the property of the Partnership as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair market value thereof, and apply and distribute the proceeds thereof in the following order:


(a)	first, to the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Partnership in accordance with the Act and to the payment of liquidation expenses;


(b)	second, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for contingencies which the General Partner or the liquidator, as the case may be, may consider necessary to satisfy any obligations or liabilities of the Partnership (except to the extent that the Partnership has put in place insurance policies to address such obligations or liabilities);


(c)	third, to the payment of the balance of the distributions owing (if any) to the Partners in accordance with Article 8; and


(d)	fourth, the balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with their Unit Interests immediately prior to the dissolution of the Partnership.


(3)	The General Partner or liquidator, as applicable, will thereafter send notices of dissolution to all third parties that have dealings with the Partnership but would not otherwise have been notified of the dissolution.

(4)

The General Partner or liquidator shall at the time of liquidation assess the availability of insurance to reduce or eliminate the requirement for any reserves for contingencies pursuant to Section 13.4(2)(b) on commercially reasonable terms but, for certainty, the General Partner or liquidator shall retain the discretion to determine whether to purchase such insurance if available. If any of the reserves for the contingencies which the General Partner or the liquidator, as the case may be, taken pursuant to Section 13.4(2)(b) have not been applied to satisfy any obligations or liabilities of the Partnership within one year following the liquidation of the Partnership in accordance with this Section 13.4, the amount of any such unapplied reserves shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their Unit Interests immediately prior to the dissolution of the Partnership.


(5)	This Section 13.4 shall survive the dissolution of the Partnership and the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 15
GENERAL


15.1	Limited Partner not a General Partner

If any provision of this Agreement has the effect of imposing upon any Limited Partner any of the liabilities or obligations of a general partner under the Act, such provision will be deemed to be of no force and effect and severed from the remainder of this Agreement.


15.2	Agreement to be Bound

Each Person who becomes a Limited Partner must concurrently with becoming a Limited Partner execute and deliver to the Partnership a counterpart copy of this Agreement or a written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Parties, agreeing to be bound by this Agreement, including making the representations and warranties contained in Article 14.


15.3	Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with the Shareholder Agreement, the Manager Shareholder Agreement and the Management Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written (including the Original Limited Partnership Agreement). There are no conditions, representations, warranties or other agreements between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, except as specifically set out in this Agreement, the Shareholder Agreement, the Manager Shareholder Agreement and the Management Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Dispute is not resolved within ten (10) days of commencing such Initial Good Faith Discussions, the Parties shall refer such Dispute to their respective senior representatives, who shall in turn use commercially reasonable efforts to settle the Dispute (the “Escalated Good Faith Discussions”). If such Dispute remains unresolved following the date that is ten (10) days following the commencement of the Escalated Good Faith Discussions, any Party may, following delivery of written notice to the other Party or Parties, as applicable, commence an action in respect of such Dispute.

No Party may assign or transfer, whether absolutely, by way of security or otherwise, all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement unless approved by the General Partner and the Limited Partners, except where such assignment or transfer is being made together with the Transfer of its Units in accordance with this Agreement.

15.16	Remedies

The Parties acknowledge and agree that all restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonable and valid and that all defences to the strict enforcement of such restrictions are hereby waived, and that the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions set forth in this Agreement are special and unique such that a breach of any such rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions cannot adequately be compensated for by an award of damages. Accordingly, any Party will be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief and to an order for specific performance against every other Party that is in breach of this Agreement without having to prove damages.

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, all payments that the Partnership is required to make under this Agreement to a Partner will be subject to withholding of such amounts relating to income taxes, employment insurance premiums, Canada pension plan contributions, workers’ compensation premiums, other taxes and other amounts as the Partnership may reasonably determine it must withhold pursuant to any Applicable Law. In lieu of withholding such amounts, in whole or in part, the Partnership may, in its sole discretion, accept other provision for payment of taxes as required by law, provided it is satisfied that all requirements of law affecting its responsibilities to withhold such amounts have been satisfied.


15.18	Expenses
