To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

3.6 Preparation and Delivery of Effective Date Statements

a.As soon as reasonably practicable after, and in no event later than 30 days after, the Effective Date (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser in writing), the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Vendors’ Representative a consolidated statement of the Company and the Subsidiaries as at the Effective Date (the “Effective Date Statements”), showing the working capital of the Company and the Subsidiaries, prepared, in accordance with IFRS, on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements. The Effective Date Statements will include a calculation of the Common Share Consideration, the Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount, the Closing Indebtedness (adding back the Interim Funding Amount) and the Transaction Expenses. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the preparation of the Effective Date Statements.

b.If the Vendors’ Representative objects in good faith to any aspect of the Effective Date Statements, the Vendors’ Representative shall give written notice of such objection to the Purchaser (the “Objection Notice”) within 30 days after the delivery to the Vendors’ Representative of the Effective Date Statements. The Objection Notice shall, for each such objection, set out the reasons for the Vendors’ Representative’s objection as well as the amount in dispute and reasonable details of the calculation of such amount. If the Vendors’ Representative does not so notify the Purchaser within such 30 day period, the Vendors’ Representative will be deemed to have accepted and approved the Effective Date Statements, which will be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties.

c.The Purchaser shall give the Vendors’ Representative and its representatives reasonable access to the Books and Records used in the preparation of the Effective Date Statements to enable the Vendors’ Representative to exercise its rights under this Section 3.6(c). The Vendors’ Representative, the Purchaser and the Parent shall attempt in good faith to resolve all matters in dispute set out in the Objection Notice within 10 Business Days of receipt of the Objection Notice by the Purchaser and the Parent. If the Vendors’ Representative, the Purchaser and the Parent, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within such 10-Business Day period, then the Vendors’ Representative, the Purchaser and the Parent shall jointly engage PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Independent Auditor”) to determine any items remaining in dispute. As promptly as practicable thereafter (and in any event no later than 10 Business Days thereafter), the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser shall each prepare and submit a presentation to the Independent Auditor. As soon as practicable thereafter (and in any event no later than 30 days thereafter), the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser will cause the Independent Auditor to choose one of the Parties’ positions on each of the Common Share Consideration and the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Working Capital Adjustment Amount and the Transaction Expenses, based solely upon the written presentations by the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser. The selection made by the Independent Auditor shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and will not be subject to appeal or further review, absent error, and the Effective Date Statements shall be (or not be) adjusted in accordance with such selection. For purposes of this Section 3.6(c), the Independent Auditor will act as an expert and not as arbitrator.

d.All of the fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor in acting in accordance with this Section 3.6 shall be borne by the Party or Parties, or in the case of the Vendors’ Representative, solely on behalf of the Vendors, as the case may be, whose position is not accepted by the Independent Auditor.

e.Within five days after resolution, by agreement of the Parties, of the dispute that was the subject of the Objection Notice or, failing such resolution, within five days after the final determination of the Independent Auditor, each of the Vendors, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and the Parent, on the other hand, shall pay the amounts owed by it to the other Party as a result of such resolution or final determination.

3.7 Net Working Capital Adjustment

a.Subject to Section 3.6, within five days after delivery by the Purchaser to the Vendors’ Representative of the Effective Date Statements:

i.if the Common Share Consideration, as finally determined and set out in the Effective Date Statements, is less than the Estimated Common Share Consideration by more than $150,000, then the holders of Company Common Shares shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to such difference; or

ii.if the Common Share Consideration, as finally determined and set out in the Effective Date Statements, is greater than the Estimated Common Share Consideration by more than $150,000, then the Purchaser shall pay to the Paying Agent (on behalf of the holders of the Company Common Shares) an amount equal to such difference.

3.8 Earn-Out

a.Upon Closing, the Parent shall grant to Key Employees an aggregate amount of CURO Group Holdings Corp. Restricted Share Units under the Parent’s 2017 Incentive Plan, dated as of November 8, 2017 (“RSUs”) with an aggregate value equal to $5,000,000, with the number of RSUs to be determined with reference to the trading price per Parent common share on the New York Stock Exchange at 11:59 pm (ET) on the date which is immediately prior to the Effective Date. The RSUs will be subject to vesting criteria which match the Earn-Out Payment requirements as set forth in this Section 3.8 and will vest concurrently with the payment of the corresponding Earn-Out Payment to the extent such Earn-Out Payment is payable to Earn-Out Recipients pursuant to this Section 3.8. The terms and conditions of the RSUs will be set forth in a rider to a Key Employee’s employment offer letter or in the RSU award agreement and shall not be amended or modified in any way without the prior written consent of such Key Employee.

b.No later than June 1, 2022, with respect to the First Earn-Out Period, and June 1, 2023, with respect to the Second Earn-Out Period and the Supplemental Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to the Vendors’ Representative, a Statement of Origination and Net Revenue certified by the Purchaser’s Chief Financial Officer (an “Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth the Earn-Out Metric for the relevant period, calculated in good faith.

c.Within 30 days following receipt by the Vendors’ Representative of the applicable Earn-Out Statement, the Vendors’ Representative shall deliver written notice to the Purchaser of any dispute it has with respect to the preparation or content of such Earn-Out Statement (an “Earn-Out Objections Notice”). If the Vendors’ Representative does not deliver an Earn-Out Objections Notice to the Parent within such 30-day period, then the Earn-Out Metric (and if applicable, the Supplemental Earn-Out Metric) set forth in such Earn-Out Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties.

d.If the Vendors’ Representative timely delivers an Earn-Out Objections Notice to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. Any items not specifically disputed by the Vendors’ Representative in an Earn-Out Objections Notice will be deemed accepted by the Vendors’ Representative. If the Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within 10 Business Days after the Purchaser’s receipt of the Earn-Out Objections Notice, then the Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative shall jointly engage the Independent Auditor to advise them with respect to any items remaining in dispute. As promptly as practicable thereafter (and in any event no later than 10 Business Days thereafter), the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser shall each prepare and submit a presentation to the Independent Auditor. As soon as practicable thereafter and (and in any event no later than 10 days thereafter), the Independent Auditor will provide a non-binding, written report (the “Independent Auditor Report”) of its conclusions as to only those issues in the Earn-Out Objections Notice still in dispute and the resulting Earn-out Metric. The Independent Auditor Report will be based solely upon the written presentations by the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser and the Independent Auditor may not value an item higher or lower than the highest or lowest value of such item claimed by the Purchaser or the Vendors’ Representative. If there is a dispute with respect to the conclusions of the Independent Auditor set out in the Independent Auditor Report, either the Purchaser or the Vendors’ Representative may initiate a proceeding in accordance with Section 3.11. There will be no ex parte communication between any of the Parties or their respective Representatives and the Independent Auditor in connection herewith. For

purposes of this Section 3.8(d), the Independent Auditor will act as an expert and not as arbitrator.

e.Reasonable fees and expenses of the Independent Auditor will be shared equally among the Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative (solely on behalf of the Vendors).

f.For greater certainty, the Earn-Out Metric for the relevant period will be deemed to be final and binding on the Parties upon the earliest of the following to occur:

i.the Vendors’ Representative gives written notice to the Purchaser that the Vendors’ Representative agrees with the Earn-Out Statement;

ii.the Vendors’ Representative does not give written notice to the Purchaser that it disputes the Earn-Out Statement, within the 30-day period contemplated by Section 3.8(c);

iii.the Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative mutually agree in writing to the determination of the Earn-Out Metric by the Independent Auditor in its report; or

iv.all disputes with respect to the Earn-Out Statement are finally resolved in accordance with Section 3.11.

g.In the event the applicable Earn-Out Statement (as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.8(f)) reflects an Earn-Out Metric that:

i.for the First Earn-Out Period:

A.is less than $[***], then the Purchaser shall not pay, or cause to be paid, any amount to the Paying Agent in connection with the Earn-Out Metric for the First Earn-Out Period; or

B.is equal to or exceeds $[***] but is less than $[***], then the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) an aggregate amount equal to the product of (1) $15,800,000 and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Earn-Out Metric for the First Earn-Out Period minus $[***], and the denominator of which is $[***], which amount shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Earn-Out Recipients in accordance with their Earn-Out Proportions; or

C.is equal to or exceeds $[***], then the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients), an aggregate amount equal to $15,800,000 to be paid to the Earn-Out Recipients by the Paying Agent in accordance with their Earn-Out Proportions;

provided, however, that in no event will the Purchaser pay, or cause to be paid an aggregate amount pursuant to this Section 3.8(g)(i), to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) in excess of $15,800,000 (such amount paid by the Purchaser to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients), the “First Earn-Out Payment”).

ii.for the Second Earn-Out Period:

a.is less than $[***], then the Purchaser shall not pay, or cause to be paid, any amount to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) in connection with the Earn-Out Metric for the Second Earn-Out Period; or

b.is equal to or exceeds $[***] but is less than $[***], then the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) an aggregate amount equal to the product of (1) $17,800,000 and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Earn-Out Metric for the Second Earn-Out Period minus $[***], and the denominator of which is $[***], which amount shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Earn-Out Recipients in accordance with their Earn-Out Proportions; or

c.is equal to or exceeds $[***], then the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients), an aggregate amount equal to $17,800,000 to be paid to the Earn-Out Recipients by the Paying Agent in accordance with their Earn-Out Proportions;

provided, however, that in no event will the Purchaser pay, or cause to be paid an aggregate amount pursuant to this Section 3.8(g)(ii), to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) in excess of $17,800,000 (such amount paid by the Purchaser to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients), the “Second Earn-Out Payment”);

iii.plus for the Second Earn-Out Period, in the event the Earn-Out Statement (as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.8(f)) for the First Earn-Out Period reflects an Earn-Out Metric for such period that is less than $[***] and the Earn-Out Statement (as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.8(f)) for the Second Earn-Out Period reflects an Earn-Out Metric for the Second Earn-Out Period that is equal to or exceeds $[***], then the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients), an additional catch up amount (the “Catch-Up Amount”) equal to the product of (a) $15,800,000, and (b) a fraction (which shall be capped at 1.00), the numerator of which is the Earn-Out Metric for the Second Earn-Out Period minus $[***], and the denominator of which is $[***], which Catch-Up Amount shall not exceed the amount equal to $15,800,000 minus any amount paid under Section 3.8(g)(i) in respect of the First Earn-Out Payment, provided, however, that in no event will the Purchaser pay, or cause to be paid, an aggregate amount pursuant to this Section 3.8(g)(iii) to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) in excess of the amount equal to $15,800,000 minus any amount paid under Section 3.8(g)(i) in respect of the First Earn-Out Payment. For greater certainty, the maximum Catch-Up Amount that may be achieved is $15,800,000.

For example, if: (1) the First Earn-Out Payment was $7,900,000, and (2) the Earn-Out Metric for the Second Earn-Out Period was $[***]:

the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Paying Agent for the Second Earn-Out Period would be:

$17,800,000 + ($15,800,000) x (([***]-[***])/[***])

= $17,800,000 + ($15,800,000 x 0.25)

= $17,800,000 + $3,950,000

= $21,750,000

if the Earn-Out Metric for the Second Earn-Out Period was not $[***], but was instead $[***] or greater, the maximum amount paid by the Purchaser for this example, to the Paying Agent for the Second Earn-Out Period would be:

$17,800,000 + ($15,800,000) x (([***]-[***])/[***])

= $17,800,000 + ($15,800,000 x 0.5)

= $17,800,000 + $7,900,000 = $25,700,000

iv.for the Supplemental Earn-Out Period:

A.is less than $[***], then the Purchaser shall not pay, or cause to be paid, any amount to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) in connection with the Supplemental Earn-Out Metric; or

B.is equal to or exceeds $[***] but is less than $[***], then the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) an aggregate amount equal to the product of (1) $7,900,000 and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Supplemental Earn-Out Metric for the Second Earn-Out Period minus $[***], and the denominator of which is $[***], which amount shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Earn-Out Recipients in accordance with their Earn-Out Proportions; or

C.is equal to or exceeds $2,200,000,000, then the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients), an aggregate amount equal to $7,900,000, which amount shall be paid by the Paying Agent to the Earn-Out Recipients in accordance with their Earn-Out Proportions;

provided, however, that in no event will the Purchaser pay, or cause to be paid an aggregate amount pursuant to this Section 3.8(g)(iii) to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) in excess of $7,900,000 (such amount paid by the Purchaser to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients), the “Supplemental Earn-Out Payment”).

v.For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Earn-Out Payments is a separate and distinct obligation of the Purchaser and each such Earn-Out Payment shall be determined independently of each other Earn-Out Payment except as expressly contemplated by this Section 3.8(g). All amounts owed pursuant to this Section 3.8(g) will be paid by the Purchaser to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) within ten Business Days from the date on which the Earn-Out Metric (and if applicable, the Supplemental Earn-Out Metric) as set forth in the applicable Earn-Out Statement is finally determined pursuant to Section 3.8(f) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Vendors’ Representative to the Purchaser.

h.For purposes of complying with the terms set forth in this Section 3.8, the Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative shall cooperate with and make available to each other and

their respective representatives all information, records, data and working papers and shall permit access to their respective facilities and personnel, as may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation and analysis of the applicable Earn-Out Statement and the resolution of any disputes thereunder; provided, however, that (i) the provision of any information or access pursuant to this Section 3.8(h) will be subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings and, if applicable, execution of customary release letters in favor of the auditors as requested by the auditors in connection with the sharing of work papers, and (ii) nothing in this Section 3.8(h) will require any Party to disclose information that is subject to legal client privilege, provided that such information is not made subject to legal client privilege solely for the purpose of avoiding such disclosure.

i.During the Earn-out Period, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to:

i.operate the Business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice and timely providing funding and operational support as required by the Company in order to facilitate the maximization of the Earn-Out Metrics, which support shall include but is not limited to the following funding and operational support:

A.for the Company’s current and future initiatives and programs with the Merchants listed in Exhibit 3.8(i)(i)(A) and any Merchants that become Merchants on or after the date of this Agreement (the “New Merchants”) and other Merchants and all Account originations related thereto, provided that:

I.the terms in any initial Contract between the Company and a New Merchant that are related to (1) merchant discount rates payable from such Merchant to the Company, and (2) rebates payable from the Company to such Merchant to incentivize Account originations, are reasonably expected to (as of the date of the execution of such Contract) generate: (X) Merchant Discount Rate Yields that are substantially similar to, or greater than, the Merchant Discount Rate Yields that are the lesser of those: (1) historically generated by the Business; or (2) provided in the pro-forma merchant profitability schedules in Exhibit 3.8(i)(i)(A) (collectively, the “Targets”), and (Y) Rebate Rates that are substantially similar to, or lesser than, the Rebate Rates that are the greater of the Targets; and

II.the Risk Adjusted Yields generated by such Merchants are substantially similar to, or greater than, the lesser of the Targets.

B.for the Company’s obligations in respect of Account originations;

C.to maintain and update the Technology as required to maintain the Company’s competitive advantage and support the Business and Merchant requirements; and

D.to ensure that the Company has adequate personnel to support and grow the Business and satisfy Merchant requirements;

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, the Purchaser shall not be required or have any obligation to provide, or cause the Company to provide, any funding or operational support in respect of general purpose credit cards;

ii.operate the Business on a stand-alone basis, as a separate subsidiary with separate consolidated Books and Records (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be prepared in accordance with US GAAP) containing such information and data as is reasonably necessary for the determination of the Earn-Out Metrics;

iii.cause the existing and future agreements with Merchants and Cardholders related to the Business to be entered into by the Company and its Subsidiaries and all Account Origination Amounts related thereto and all Net Revenue (including any non-prime originations of the Business and any new customers of the Business, but for greater certainty, does not include revenue from any non-prime or other originations of any separate business operations of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates whether or not from Customers of the Company or the Business) earned thereunder to be recorded in the consolidated Books and Records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and reflected in the Earn-Out Metric calculations; and

iv.not sell all or substantially all of the Business or the Assets to arms-length third party without the prior written consent of the Vendors’ Representative; provided; however, for the avoidance of doubt, a sale of the Business or the Assets to a wholly-owned affiliate of the Purchaser as part of an internal corporate restructuring (not involving any other third parties) shall not require the prior written consent of the Vendors’ Representative provided the Purchaser continues to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, and including but not limited to the Purchaser’s covenants in subparagraphs 3.8(i)(i) to 3.8(i)(iii) above.

j.Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the earn-out contemplated by this Section 3.8 relates to underlying goodwill of the Company, the value of which is not agreed upon by the Earn-Out Recipients and the Purchaser at the Effective Date. The Parent and the Purchaser further acknowledge and agree that the Earn-Out Recipients who are residents of Canada will, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable provincial Taxes, report any portion of the First Earn-Out Payment, the Second Earn-Out Payment or the Supplemental Earn-Out Payment actually received by the Earn-Out Recipients using the “Cost Recovery Method” and as such will be required to provide a copy of this Agreement to the appropriate Taxing Governmental Authority. Each Earn-Out Recipient agrees to provide notice to the Purchaser in the event such Earn-Out Recipient is a non-resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of a First Earn-Out Payment, Second Earn-Out Payment or Supplemental Earn-Out Payment.

k.The Purchaser and the Earn-Out Recipients agree that the maximum aggregate Earn-Out Consideration that the Purchaser will pay, or cause to be paid, pursuant to this Section 3.8 to the Paying Agent (for further distribution to the Earn-Out Recipients) is $41,500,000.

3.9 Allocation of Transaction Consideration

Following Closing, each of the Significant Selling Securityholders, the Company, Opco and the Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable allocation of the Transaction Consideration and the Parties agree to execute and file all Tax Returns and prepare all financial statements on the basis of such allocation.

3.10 Set-off

Subject to the limitations in Section 8.3, the Purchaser shall have the right to set-off and deduct from the amount of the Earn-Out Consideration any amounts that may be payable by the Earn-Out Recipients in respect of any bona fide Claim made in good faith under Article VIII [Indemnification] for which the Purchaser has sought indemnification under Article VIII, whether or not at the time of the payment of such

Earn-Out Consideration, such Claim has been finally determined pursuant to Article VIII or such Earn-Out Consideration has been finally determined or resolved pursuant to Section 3.11, and, subject to the limitations in Section 8.3, the Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold from the amount of payment of Earn-Out Consideration the amount of each such Claim pending final resolution of such Claim. The Purchaser shall deposit or cause to be deposited any amounts withheld pursuant to this Section 3.10, up to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the Cap, in escrow with a third party escrow agent until final resolution of such Claim(s). Each of the Earn-Out Recipients and the Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonably efforts to cause such Claim(s) to be resolved within two (2) years of the notification of such Claim(s) in accordance with Section 8.4, or such earlier time within the parties’ control. If final resolution of such Claim(s) in respect of which the Purchaser has withheld pursuant to this Section 3.10 is less than the amount initially claimed by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, over to the Paying Agent (on behalf of the Earn-Out Recipients), the difference between the amount withheld and the amount of the Claim(s) as so determined, together with interest on such difference from and including the date such payment of Earn-Out Consideration was due to and including the date of payment, at the rate equal to Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, calculated quarterly. “Prime Rate” means, at any time, the rate of interest expressed as an annual rate, established or quote by the Bank of Canada as being its reference interest rate to determine the interest rates it will charge for Canadian dollar loans made in Canada, and referred to by it as its “Prime Rate”.

3.11 Earn-Out Dispute Settlement

a.If the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser have any disagreement in respect of the conclusions of the Independent Auditor set out in the Independent Auditor Report, either the Vendors’ Representative or the Purchaser may within 5 Business Days deliver a notice in writing to the other disputing the Independent Auditor Report in accordance with this Section 3.11(a) (an “Earn-Out Dispute Notice”). The Earn-Out Dispute Notice shall specify those calculations and/or amounts that the Vendors’ Representative or the Purchaser disputes in the Independent Auditor Report (collectively, “Earn-Out Disputed Items”), the specific bases of its disputes and its proposed calculation of each such amount.

b.If the Vendors’ Representative delivers a Earn-Out Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 3.11(a), the Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the Earn-Out Disputed Items. If, during such thirty (30) day period, the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser agree upon any of the Earn-Out Disputed Items, the Transaction Consideration shall be deemed adjusted to reflect such agreement and shall become final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder with respect to such agreed items, absent error.

c.If the Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative are unable to reach agreement on any Earn-Out Disputed Items pursuant to Section 3.11(b), either party shall be entitled to engage Ernst & Young LLP in Toronto, Ontario, or if such firm is unable to act, Grant Thornton LLP in Toronto, Ontario (the “Independent Expert”). The Independent Expert shall determine (acting as an expert, not as an arbitrator), only with respect to the Earn-Out Disputed Items that were not resolved pursuant to Section 3.11(b), whether the Transaction Consideration requires adjustment. If the Independent Expert determines that the Transaction Consideration requires adjustment, the Independent Expert shall determine the amount of any such adjustment. The Independent Expert shall resolve each such Earn-Out Disputed Item within the range of calculations proposed by the Purchaser in the Earn-Out Statements and in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice.

d.The Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative shall instruct the Independent Expert to prepare and deliver to them, as promptly as practicable, but to the maximum extent

practicable no later than thirty (30) days after it is engaged, a report setting forth its calculation of the remaining Earn-Out Disputed Items and (on the basis of such calculations) the Transaction Consideration. The Independent Expert’s report shall be final and binding upon the Parties as to those remaining Earn-Out Disputed Items, absent error. The cost of such review and report shall be borne (i) by either the Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Earn-Out Recipients, on the other hand, if the calculation of the Transaction Consideration proposed by the Purchaser in the Earn-Out Statements or the Earn-Out Recipients in the Earn-Out Dispute Notice deviates by a greater amount from the Independent Expert's calculation of the Transaction Consideration than the calculation submitted by the other party, or (ii) in all other cases, equally by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Earn-Out Recipients, on the other hand.

e.The Purchaser and the Vendors’ Representative will afford the Independent Expert and the other party and its affiliates and their respective employees, advisors (including counsel, financial advisors and auditors), consultants and authorized representatives upon reasonable request reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the information used or relied upon by the Vendors’ Representative and the Purchaser in preparing the calculations contemplated by this Section 3.11 solely for purposes of reviewing the calculations submitted by the other party, provided, however, that (i) the provision of any information or access pursuant to this Section 3.11(e) will be subject to appropriate confidentiality undertakings and, if applicable, execution of customary release letters in favor of the auditors as requested by the auditors in connection with the sharing of work papers, and (ii) nothing in this Section 3.11(e) will require any Party to disclose information that is subject to legal client privilege provided that such information is not made subject to legal client privilege solely for the purpose of avoiding such disclosure.

Accordingly, except as provided in Schedules “C” and “D”, none of the Company nor the Significant Selling Securityholders make any representation or warranty with respect to any Forward Looking Information. For greater certainty, the provisions of this Section 5.7(b) shall not otherwise qualify or limit the representations and warranties of the Company set out in Schedule “C” and the representations and warranties of the Significant Selling Securityholders set out in Schedule “D”.

c.The Purchaser shall not be entitled to assert any right to, and the Earn-Out Recipients shall have no liability for, Damages for indemnification with respect to the matters described in Section 8.1(a) unless such individual claim (or series of related claims or claims arising from similar facts and circumstances) exceeds $100,000.

d.The Earn-Out Recipients have no liability or obligation to make any payment for Damages for indemnification with respect to the matters described in Section 8.1(a) until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds $1,000,000 (the “Threshold”).

b.If an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a Direct Claim, the Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the Direct Claim.

c.Notice to an Indemnifying Party under this Section 8.4 of a Direct Claim or a Third Party Claim is an assertion of a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement. If the Indemnified Party fails to give such notice, such failure shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from obtaining such indemnification but its right to indemnification may be reduced to the extent that such delay materially prejudiced the defence of the Direct Claim or Third Party Claim or increased the amount of liability or cost of defence. Upon receipt of such notice, the provisions of Section 8.5 will apply to any Third Party Claim.

8.5 Procedure for Third Party Claims

a.Upon receiving notice of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may participate in the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim and may also, at its sole expense, elect to assume the investigation and defence of the Third Party Claim.

b.In order to assume the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party must give the Indemnified Party written notice of its election within 30 days of Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim and acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Article VIII in respect of that Third Party Claim.

c.If the Indemnifying Party assumes the investigation and defence of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim at its sole expense, including if necessary, employment of counsel and experts reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall also have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Third Party Claim at its own expense.

d.If the Indemnified Party undertakes the defence of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of the Third Party Claim or any compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim effected without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

e.The Indemnifying Party will not be permitted to compromise and settle or to cause a compromise and settlement of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless:

i.the terms of the compromise and settlement require only the payment of money for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to full indemnification under this Agreement; and

ii.the Indemnified Party is not required to admit any wrongdoing, take or refrain from taking any action, acknowledge any rights of the Person making the Third Party Claim or waive any rights that the Indemnified Party may have against the Person making the Third Party Claim; and

The Indemnified Party shall cooperate on a timely basis with the Indemnifying Party in the defence of any Third Party Claim.

Each of the Parties otherwise expressly waives and renounces any other remedies whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, which it would otherwise be entitled to as against any other Party.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof without proof of Damages and without posting a bond, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII.

A Party may change its information for service from time to time by providing a notice in accordance with the foregoing. Any subsequent notice or other communication must be sent to the Party in accordance with any changes to its information for service. Any element of a Party's information that is not specifically changed in a notice will be assumed not to be changed. Sending a copy of a notice or other communication to a Party's legal counsel as contemplated above is for information purposes only and does not constitute delivery of the notice or other communication to that Party. The failure to send a copy of a notice or other communication to legal counsel does not invalidate delivery of that notice or other communication to a Party.

9.3 Non-Merger

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the covenants, representations, warranties and other provisions of this Agreement will not merge on Closing but will survive: (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any related transfer or conveyance documents; (ii) the Closing, and (iii) the payment of the Transaction Consideration. Notwithstanding such Closing or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Party, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. Closing will not prejudice any right of one Party against any other Party in respect of anything done or omitted under this Agreement or in respect of any right to Damages or other remedies.

9.4 Entire Agreement

This Agreement together with the other Transaction Documents delivered at Closing constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions relating to the subject matter thereof, whether oral or written. There are no representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or other agreements, express or implied, collateral, statutory or otherwise, between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents delivered at Closing. No Party has relied or is relying on any other information, discussions or understandings in entering into and completing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Transaction Document, the provisions of this Agreement will govern.

9.5 Waiver

The failure or delay by a Party in enforcing, or insisting upon strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such provision or in any way affect the enforceability of this Agreement (or any of its provisions) or deprive a Party of the right, at any time or from time to time, to enforce or insist upon strict performance of that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. Any waiver by a Party of any provision of this Agreement is effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized Representative of such Party.

9.6 Severability

If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Each of the provisions of this Agreement is hereby declared to be separate and distinct.

9.7 Enurement

This Agreement will enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns, including successors and assignees of the Company by merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets.

9.8 Assignments

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, duties or obligations in this Agreement are assignable or transferable by a Party without the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall be entitled to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, to any Person that is an affiliate of the Purchaser so long as the Parent continues to guarantee such assigned obligations. Any attempt to assign this Agreement or any of the rights, duties or obligations in this Agreement without complying with this Section 9.8 is void.

9.9 Third Party Beneficiaries

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Parties do not intend that this Agreement benefit or create any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action in, or on behalf of, any Person other than each of the Parties, including their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Person, other than each of the Parties, including their respective successors and permitted assigns, is entitled to rely on the provisions of this Agreement in any

proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Indemnified Party is not required for any amendment or waiver of, or other modification to, this Agreement or any Transaction Document including any rights of indemnification to which such Person may be entitled.

9.10 Time of the Essence

Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

9.11 Expenses

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are to be paid by the Party incurring such expenses. The Purchaser and the Parent shall pay all costs (including filing fees, legal expenses and any other costs whatsoever) in connection with obtaining Competition Act Approval for the Arrangements.

9.12 Dispute Resolution

a.Except for matters that are subject to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section 3.6 and Section 3.11, which dispute resolution provisions shall control with respect to their respective subject matters, any controversy, dispute, claim, question or difference between the Parties arising out of or relating to or in connection with this Agreement, including any indemnification claim pursuant to Article VIII (a “Dispute”), is to be resolved in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 9.12(b) which is, subject to Sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 5.5 and 3.11, the exclusive procedure for the resolution of any Dispute between the Parties.

b.The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute promptly by negotiation. However, at any time, a Party may give the other Party written notice (the “Initial Notice”) of any Dispute not so resolved (which claim shall constitute a notice for purposes of Article VII). Within 15 days after delivery of an Initial Notice, the recipient Party shall deliver to the other a written response. Both the Initial Notice and the response must include a statement of that Party’s position, a summary of arguments supporting that position, and the name and contact particulars of the Person who will represent that Party and of any other Person who will accompany the representative. Within 30 days after delivery of the Initial Notice, the representatives of the Parties shall meet at mutually acceptable times and places, as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. All negotiations pursuant to this Section 9.12(b) are confidential and are to be treated as without prejudice and settlement privileged negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. If, within 60 days after delivery of the Initial Notice, the Dispute has not been resolved, then upon expiration of such 60-day period, unless the Parties mutually agree to extend such 60-day period, any Party may commence proceedings with respect to the matter in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Section 1.7.

9.13 Vendors’ Representative

a.In order to administer efficiently the determination of certain matters under this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Parent will be entitled to:

i.rely on the Vendors’ Representative or any successor thereto as having full power and authority to make all decisions and take all actions relating to the respective rights, obligations and remedies of the Vendors under this Agreement, including to authorize payments to Vendors by the Paying Agent hereunder, to

receive and send notices, to receive, execute and deliver documents (including amendments thereto), to exercise, enforce or waive rights or conditions, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand court proceedings and comply with orders of courts and awards of court with respect to such claims, to give releases and discharges, to seek indemnification on behalf of the Vendors and to defend against indemnification claims of the Purchaser and the Parent, and to take all other actions that are either (A) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Vendors’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing; or (B) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement; and

ii.deal only with the Vendors’ Representative in respect of all matters arising under this Agreement including to authorize payments to Vendors hereunder, to receive and send notices, to receive and deliver documents, to exercise, enforce or waive rights or conditions, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand court proceedings and comply with orders of courts and awards of court with respect to such claims, to give releases and discharges, to seek indemnification against the Vendors or any one of them and to defend against indemnification claims of Vendors’ Representative, and to take all other actions that are either (A) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Vendors’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing; or (B) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement.

b.All decisions, consents, instructions and actions to be taken by Vendors or any one of them under this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be deemed taken by the Vendors or any one of them, as the case may be, if such decisions, consents, instructions or actions are taken by the Vendors’ Representative, and such decisions, consents, instructions or actions shall be final, binding or conclusive upon such Vendors. The Purchaser and the Parent may rely upon any such decision, consent, instruction or action of the Vendors’ Representative as being the decision, consent, instruction or action of the Vendors. All consents, instructions and actions to be taken by the Purchaser and the Parent and directed to the Vendors or any one of them under this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be deemed directed to the Vendors or any one of them, as the case may be, if such decisions, consents, instructions or actions are directed by the Purchaser or the Parent to the Vendors’ Representative.

c.The Purchaser and the Parent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice provided to the Purchaser by the Vendors’ Representative or action taken by the Vendors’ Representative acting within the scope of his authority.

d.Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment, notice, receipt or execution and delivery of documents (including amendments hereto), exercise, enforcement or waiver of rights or conditions, settlements and compromises, indemnification claim or indemnification defence shall be ineffective by reason only of it having been made or given to or by a Vendor directly if each of the Purchaser, the Parent and such Vendor consent by virtue of not objecting to such dealings without the intermediary of the Vendors’ Representative.

e.The Vendors’ Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Vendors’ Representative in connection with the Vendors’ Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Vendors’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith, fraud, or willful misconduct. The Vendors’ Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Vendors shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Vendors’

Representative from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, penalties, fines, forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable expenses of the Vendors’ Representative’s legal counsel, experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Vendors’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any ancillary agreements hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct of the Vendors’ Representative, the Vendors’ Representative will reimburse the Vendors the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Vendors’ Representative by the Vendors, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Vendors’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund, and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Vendors under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Vendors; provided, that while this section allows the Vendors’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Vendors from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Vendors’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Vendors’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Vendors or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Vendors set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Vendors’ Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Vendors’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

f.By executing this Agreement or by otherwise approving the terms of this Agreement or the Arrangement or participating in and receiving the benefits of the Company Arrangement and/or the Opco Arrangement, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Company Arrangement and/or the Opco Arrangement, each Vendor appoints Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the Vendors' Representative for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto. The Vendors' Representative may resign at any time. If the Vendors' Representative shall resign or be removed by the Vendors, the Vendors shall, within 10 days after such resignation or removal, appoint a successor to the Vendors' Representative. Any such successor shall succeed the former Vendors' Representative as the Vendors' Representative hereunder.

g.Upon the Closing, the Company will wire C$300,000 (the “Expense Fund”) (which shall be a Company Transaction Expense) to the Vendors' Representative, which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Vendors' Representative for, any third-party expenses pursuant to this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto. The Vendors will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Vendors' Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Vendors’ Representative acknowledges and agrees that it will hold the Expense Fund in accordance with its obligations under the engagement letter in respect of such Expense Fund. The Vendors' Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Vendors' Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not

voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Vendors' Representative's responsibilities, the Vendors' Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Vendors. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Vendors at the time of Closing.

9.14 Further Assurances

From time to time after the Closing, each Party will, at the request of another Party, execute and deliver such additional conveyances, transfers and other assurances and perform or cause to be performed such further and other acts or things as may be reasonably required to give effect to, and carry out the intent of, this Agreement.

9.15 Announcements

The Parent and the Company shall each issue a press release, in a form mutually agreed between the Parent and the Company, regarding the subject matter of this Agreement and the parties hereto, promptly on or after the date hereof and at Closing. Other than as contemplated by the preceding sentence, no press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated in this Agreement is to be made by a Party on or prior to Closing without the prior written consent of the Parent and the Company, each acting reasonably. However, if a Party is required by Law or by a Governmental Authority to make a press release or other public announcement, such Party may do so, provided to the extent practicable, such Party used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the Parent and the Company as to the form, nature and extent of the disclosure, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such disclosure is required to meet timely disclosure obligations of any Party under applicable Laws or stock exchange rules in circumstances where prior consultation with the other Party is not practicable and a copy of such disclosure is provided to the other Party as soon as is reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following Closing, the Vendors’ Representative shall be permitted to, after the public announcement of the Arrangements, publicly announce that it has been engaged to serve as the Vendors’ Representative in connection with the Arrangements as long as such announcement does not disclose any of the other terms of the Arrangements or the other transactions contemplated herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party acknowledges that the Parent is a public company and as such will be permitted to make filings and disclosures concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the filing of a version of this Agreement with applicable securities regulatory authorities on www.sec.gov. The Parent shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity to review or comment on such version of this Agreement, and shall give reasonable consideration to any comments made by the Company prior to such filing.

9.16 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means) and all such signed counterparts will together constitute one and the same agreement. To evidence its execution of an original counterpart of this Agreement, a Party may send a copy of its original signature on the execution page hereof to the other Parties by facsimile, email or other means of recorded electronic transmission and such transmission (including in PDF form) shall constitute delivery of an executed copy of this Agreement to the receiving party.

A failure by a Party to obtain independent legal advice shall not be used by it as a defence to the enforcement of its obligations under this Agreement.

9.19 Retention of Counsel and Privilege

It is acknowledged by each of the Parties that the Company has retained Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP (“NRFC”) to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and NRFC is not, and shall not, be considered to be representing any other Party to this Agreement whatsoever. As to all communications among NRFC and the Company that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney or solicitor-client privilege and the expectation of client confidentiality, and all information and documents covered by such privilege or protection, belongs to the Company.

(a) ultimately are entitled to be paid fair value for such Common Shares and Preferred Shares, as the case may be: (i) shall be deemed not to have participated in the transactions in ARTICLE 2 (other than Section 2.2(d)); (ii) shall be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Common Shares and Preferred Shares, as the case may be, by the Purchaser, on behalf of FLX Holdco, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the CBCA, shall be determined as of the close of business on the Business Day before the Arrangement Resolution was adopted, minus, in the case of a holder of Common Shares who has validly exercised Dissent Rights, such holder’s Earn-Out Proportion of any amount owing under Article VIII of the Arrangement Agreement; and (iii) shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any Earn-Out Payment or other payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such Common Shares and Preferred Shares, as the case may be; or

A-32

(b) ultimately are not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for such Common Shares and Preferred Shares, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a Shareholder that is not a Dissenting Holder.

PAYMENTS AND RELATED MATTERS

Section 4.1 Payment; Exchange of Certificates for Cash

(1) Prior to filing of the Articles of Arrangement, the Purchaser will make or cause to be made one or more loans (i) to FLX Holdco, the proceeds of which will be used to pay, and FLX Holdco will direct the Purchaser to pay, the Consideration (other than with respect to Shareholders who have validly exercised their Dissent Rights), in cash, and (ii) to the Corporation, the proceeds of which the Corporation will direct the Purchaser to deposit or arrange to be deposited in cash by the Corporation, with the Paying Agent in satisfaction of the aggregate amount payable to the payees of the Opco Closing Indebtedness, and the payee of the Interim Funding Amount, and the payees of the Opco Transaction Expenses as set forth in Section 4.1(4) of this Plan of Arrangement. Upon the deposit of the cash amounts in (i), the Purchaser, the Parent, the Corporation, and FLX Holdco, shall be fully and completely discharged from their respective obligations to pay the Consideration to former registered holders of Corporation Securities, and such former registered holders of Corporation Securities shall be limited to receiving, subject to them complying with Section 4.1(2), their respective portion of the Consideration.

(2) Upon surrender to the Paying Agent for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares, or Converted Warrants that were deemed to have been exercised for Shares, that were transferred to FLX Holdco pursuant to Section 2.2(g), together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and such other documents and instruments as the Paying Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor from the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent shall deliver to such holder, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the amount of cash which such holder has the right to receive in exchange therefor under this Plan of Arrangement, in each case, less any amounts withheld

A-33

pursuant to Section 4.5, and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a prior transfer of ownership of Corporation Securities which was not registered in the applicable securities register of the Corporation, the amount of cash may be paid to the transferee if the certificate representing such transferred Corporation Securities is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and Election Form and, together with all further documents required to evidence and effect such transfer.

(3) Upon surrender to the Paying Agent for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Converted Warrants that were deemed to have been exercised for Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(c), that were transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2(g), the holder of such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor from the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent shall deliver to such holder, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the amount of cash which such holder has the right to receive in respect of such Converted Warrants pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement, in each case, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.5, and the certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(4) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall pay, in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, for and on behalf of the Corporation, to each (i) payee of Opco Closing Indebtedness and the Interim Funding Amount, as set forth in the Payoff Letters and the Flow of Funds Memorandum, and (ii) payee of Opco Transaction Expenses, as set forth in the Flow of Funds Memorandum, in each case for and on behalf of the Corporation, the amount in cash of the Opco Closing Indebtedness and the Interim Funding Amount and Opco Transaction Expenses owed to that payee.

Section 4.2 Closing Consideration Schedule and Flow of Funds Memorandum

The aggregate amount payable pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement to a holder of Shares for all of such holder’s Shares (including any Common Shares issued pursuant to Section 2.2(c)), and the aggregate amount to be withheld from such amount pursuant to Section 4.5 shall be set forth across from such holder’s name in the Closing Consideration Schedule. Any payment contemplated to be made pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be made in accordance with the Flow of Funds Memorandum.

Section 4.3 Lost Certificates

In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Corporation Securities that were transferred (or that were deemed to have been converted pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and then transferred) pursuant to Section 2.2 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, such Person shall be paid the amount to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2 and Section 4.1 had such certificate not been lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Person to whom cash is to be paid shall have, as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, provided a bond satisfactory to the Paying Agent, in such amount as the Corporation may direct, or otherwise indemnify Corporation, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to it against any claim that may be made against Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 4.4 Extinction of Rights

(a) Any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Corporation Securities (other than in respect of the Cancelled Warrants) shall be deemed after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a cash payment in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in this Section 4.4, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4.5. Any such certificate that is not deposited with all other instruments required by this Section 4.4 on or prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the

A-34

Effective Time shall cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature. On such date, the cash to which the former holder of the certificate referred to in the preceding sentence was ultimately entitled from FLX Holdco, shall be deemed to have been forfeited to FLX Holdco for no consideration. None of the Parties shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(b) Any payment made by way of cheque by the Paying Agent pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Paying Agent or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the second anniversary of the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the applicable consideration for the Securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser or the Corporation, as applicable, for no consideration.

(c) No Corporation Securityholder shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to Corporation Security, other than any cash payment to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.2 and Section 4.1 and, for greater certainty, notwithstanding the terms of such Company Securities or otherwise and regardless of any delay making any payment contemplated by this ARTICLE 4, no such holder shall be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith.

Section 4.5 Withholding Rights

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Arrangement Agreement or this Plan of Arrangement, Corporation, FLX Holdco and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to any Corporation Securityholder such amounts as Corporation, FLX Holdco or the Paying Agent determines, acting reasonably, are required or permitted to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payment under Tax laws or any other applicable Laws. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
