cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or at the Effective Time (provided that this clause (i) shall not apply in the case of any event or state of facts resulting from the actions or omissions of a Party which are required under this Agreement); or

Defence
 
 
7.3
a)
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of a possible Third Party Claim referred to in Section 7.1 hereof, such Indemnified Party, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under such Section, shall provide the Indemnifying Party with written particulars thereof; provided that failure to provide the Indemnifying Party with such particulars shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability which it might have on account of the indemnity provided for in this Section 7.0 except insofar as such failure shall prejudice such Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnified Party shall also provide to the Indemnifying Party copies of all relevant documentation and, unless the Indemnifying Party assumes the defence thereof, shall keep such Indemnifying Party advised of the progress thereof and will discuss with the Indemnifying Party all significant actions proposed.
 
 
(b)
An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in (and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume) the defence of any such Third Party Claimbut such defence shall be conducted by counsel of good standing approved by the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  Upon the Indemnifying Party notifying the Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defence and retaining such counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by it in connection with such defence other than for reasonable costs of investigation.  If such defence is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, it shall, through the course thereof, provide copies of all relevant documentation to the Indemnified Party, keep such Indemnified Party advised of the progress thereof and shall discuss with the Indemnified Party all significant actions proposed.  No Indemnifying Party shall enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party, but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If such defence is not assumed by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement made without its consent, but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
 
(c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to employ counsel of its own choice in respect of the
 

 
 

 
-54-

 
defence of any such Third Party Claim if (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such defence; or (ii) counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party shall have advised the Indemnified Party that there may be legal defences available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which event and to that extent, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume or direct the defence on behalf of the Indemnified Party) or that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have assumed such defence and employed counsel therefor within a reasonable time after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim.

(ii)
engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any information with respect to, or otherwise co-operate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to make or complete any Acquisition Proposal for Timberline, provided that, for greater certainty, Timberline may advise any Person making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior Proposal when the Timberline Board has so determined;

withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Wolfpack, the approval or recommendation of the Timberline Board or any committee thereof of this Agreement or the Arrangement;
 
 
(iv)
approve, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal for Timberline (it being understood that publicly taking no position or a neutral position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of which a confidentiality agreement has been executed in accordance with Section 8.1(d) shall not be considered a violation of this Subsection 8.1(a)(iv); or
 

 
 

 
-55-

 
(v)
accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, agreement, arrangement or undertaking related to any Acquisition Proposal,
 
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Subsection 8.1(a) or any other provision of this Agreement shall prevent the Timberline Board from, and the Timberline Board shall be permitted to engage in discussions or negotiations with, or respond to enquiries from any Person that has made a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Timberline Board has determined constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, or provide information pursuant to Subsection 8.1(d) to any Person where the requirements of that Section are met;
 
 
(b)
Timberline shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Wolfpack) with respect to any potential Acquisition Proposal and, in connection therewith, Timberline will discontinue access to any of its confidential information (and not establish or allow access to any of its confidential information, or any data room, virtual or otherwise) and shall as soon as possible request the return or destruction of all confidential information provided in connection therewith to the extent such information has not already been returned or destroyed. Timberline agrees not to release any third party from any confidentiality, non-solicitation or standstill agreement to which such third party is a party, or terminate, modify, amend or waive the terms thereof and Timberline undertakes to enforce, or cause its Subsidiaries to enforce, all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it or its Subsidiaries have entered into prior to the date hereof or enter into after the date hereof.
 
 
(c)
From and after the date of this Agreement, Timberline shall immediately provide notice to Wolfpack of any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal or any amendments to the foregoing or any request for non-public information relating to Timberline or its Subsidiaries in connection with such an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Timberline or any Subsidiaries by any Person that informs Timberline, any member of the Timberline Board or such Subsidiaries that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice to Wolfpack shall be made, from time to time, first immediately orally and then promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) in writing and shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry or contact, all material terms thereof and such other details of the proposal, inquiry or contact known to Timberline, and shall include copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request or any amendment to any of the foregoing.  Timberline shall keep Wolfpack promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such Acquisition Proposal, offer, inquiry or request and will respond promptly to all inquiries by Wolfpack with respect thereto.
 
 
(d)
If the Timberline Board receives a request for material non-public information from a Person who proposes to Timberline an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, Timberline may contact the Person making the Acquisition Proposal and its representatives solely for the purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and the likelihood of its consummation so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal; provided that Timberline shall promptly provide Wolfpack with copies of all correspondence and information provided to or received from such Person. If: (x) the Timberline Board determines that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or
 

 
 

 
-56-

 
could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; and (y) in the opinion of the Timberline Board, acting in good faith and on advice from their outside legal advisors, the failure to provide such party with access to information regarding Timberline and its Subsidiaries would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Timberline Board, then, and only in such case, Timberline may provide such Person with access to information regarding Timberline and its Subsidiaries, subject to the execution of a confidentiality and standstill agreement which is customary in such situations and which, in any event and taken as a whole, is no less favourable to Timberline than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that Timberline sends a copy of any such confidentiality and standstill agreement to Wolfpack promptly upon its execution and Wolfpack is provided with a list of, and, at the request of Wolfpack, copies of, the information provided to such Person and immediately provided with access to similar information to which such Person was provided.
 
 
(e)
Timberline agrees that it will not accept, approve or enter into any agreement (a “Timberline Proposed Agreement”), other than a confidentiality agreement as contemplated by Subsection 8.1(d), with any Person providing for or to facilitate any Acquisition Proposal unless:

the Timberline Meeting has not occurred;
 
 
(iii)
Timberline has complied with Subsections 8.1(a) through 8.1(d) inclusive;
 
 
(iv)
Timberline has provided Wolfpack with a notice in writing that there is a Superior Proposal together with all documentation related to and detailing the Superior Proposal, including a copy of any Timberline Proposed Agreement relating to such Superior Proposal, and a written notice from the Timberline Board regarding the value in financial terms that the Timberline Board has in consultation with its financial advisors determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under the Superior Proposal, such documents to be so provided to Wolfpack not less than five business days prior to the proposed acceptance, approval, recommendation or execution of the Timberline Proposed Agreement by Timberline.
 
 
(v)
Five business days shall have elapsed from the date Wolfpack received the notice and documentation referred to in Subsection 8.1(e)(iv) from Timberline and, if Wolfpack has proposed to amend the terms of the Arrangement in accordance with Subsection 8.1(f), the Timberline Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement by Timberline;
 
 
(vi)
Timberline concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(iv)(D); and
 
 
(vii)
Timberline has previously, or concurrently will have, paid to Wolfpack the Timberline Termination Fee;

The Timberline Board will review any proposal by Wolfpack to amend the terms of the Arrangement in order to determine, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and consistent with Subsection 8.1(a), whether Wolfpack’s proposal to amend the Arrangement would result in the Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal compared to the proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement.
 
 
(g)
The Timberline Board shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement by press release after: (x) any Acquisition Proposal which the Timberline Board determines not to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or made; or (y) the Timberline Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement would result in the Acquisition Proposal which has been publicly announced or made not being a Superior Proposal, and Wolfpack has so amended the terms of the Timberline Arrangement. Wolfpack and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Timberline, acting reasonably.
 
 
(h)
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Timberline Board from responding through a directors’ circular or otherwise as required by applicable Securities Legislation to an Acquisition Proposal that it determines is not a Superior Proposal, or from withdrawing, modifying or changing its recommendation as a result of Wolfpack having suffered a Wolfpack Material Adverse Effect.  Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Timberline Board from making any disclosure to the securityholders of Timberline if the Timberline Board, acting in good faith and upon the advice of its legal advisors, shall have first determined that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Timberline Board or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the Timberline Board shall be permitted to make such disclosure, the Timberline Board shall not be permitted to make an Timberline Change in Recommendation, other than as permitted by Section 8.1(e) or the first sentence of this paragraph.  Wolfpack and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such disclosure, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Timberline, acting reasonably.
 
 
(i)
Timberline acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 8.1.
 
 
(j)
Timberline shall ensure that the officers, directors and employees of Timberline and its Subsidiaries and any investment bankers or other advisors or representatives retained by Timberline and/or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by
 

 
 

 
-58-

 
this Agreement are aware of the provisions of this Section, and Timberline shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 8.1 by such officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, advisors or representatives.
