(ii) There is consummated a merger or consolidation of Patheon or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Patheon with any other company, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the voting securities of Patheon outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the securities of Patheon or such surviving entity or any parent thereof outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

(iii) The stockholders of Patheon approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by Patheon of all or substantially all of its assets.
