(g)  

	
In the event that any person, or any person and its affiliates, as such terms are defined in the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”), begins a tender or exchange offer, circulates a proxy to shareholders or takes other steps to effect a takeover of the control of the Company, the Consultant agrees that the Manager will not voluntarily leave the employ of the Consultant, and will render services to the Company in accordance with its position and in the best interests of the shareholders, until such person has abandoned or terminated efforts to effect a takeover of control of the Company or until such takeover of control of the Company has occurred. For purposes of this Agreement, takeover of control shall be evidenced by (i) the acquisition by any person, or by any person and its affiliates, as such terms are defined in the CBCA, and whether directly or indirectly, of common shares of the Company which, when added to all other common shares of the Company at the time held by such person and its affiliates, totals for the first time 50% or more of the outstanding common shares of the Company (ii) the removal, by extraordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company, of more than 51% of the then incumbent directors of the Company, or the election of a majority of directors to the Company's board who were not nominees of the Company's incumbent board at the time immediately preceding such election; or (iii) consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the consummation of a reorganization, merger or other transaction which has substantially the same effect, except where such sale or transaction is for the purpose of financing the construction of a mine (a “Takeover of Control”).













	
(h)  

	
As used herein voluntary termination by the Consultant of its engagement with the Company for "Good Cause" means termination after a Takeover of Control of the Company following the occurrence of one of the following events without the Consultant’s express written consent:







 


 




 





 











 








 



	
(i)  

	
without the written agreement of the Consultant, the nature of the duties, requirements and arrangements of the Consultant or Manager are substantially changed from those set out in Schedule “A” such that the nature of the work that is required to be performed is not work which is consistent with the work ordinarily required to be performed for a position similar to that assumed by the Manager as set out in Schedule “A” for a publicly listed mining company;







 



	
(ii)  

	
a reduction by the Company in the Consultant's base compensation set out in Schedule “B” as in effect immediately prior to the Takeover of Control;







 



	
(iii)  

	
a change in the principal executive office of the Company to a location more than fifty (50) kilometres from the location of the principal executive office of the Company immediately prior to the Takeover of Control;







 



	
(iv)  

	
the requirement by the Company that the Consultant be based anywhere other than within a fifty (50) kilometre radius of his location or locations set out in Schedule “A” immediately prior to the Takeover of Control; or







 



	
(v)  

	
the failure by the Company to continue in effect, or a change of the Consultant’s or the Manager's participation in benefits under any bonus or incentive compensation or benefit plan, any stock ownership, stock purchase, stock option or other equity incentive plan, any life, health, accident, disability or similar plan providing welfare benefits or any plan or program of fringe benefits in which the Consultant or the Manager are participating immediately prior to a Takeover of Control (the "Existing Plans"), the effect of which would be to materially reduce the total value, in the aggregate, of the Consultant’s or the Manager's benefits under all the Existing Plans and all amendments thereto and plans substituted therefor, as compared to the Consultant’s or the Manager's benefits under the Existing Plans as they existed immediately prior to the takeover of control, or the failure by the Company to provide the Consultant or the Manager with the number of paid vacation days to which the Consultant or the Manager is entitled in accordance with the Company's general vacation policy in effect immediately prior to the Takeover of Control.












3.           Fees








	
(a)  

	
The Consultant will be paid an annual fee as provided in Schedule “B”.













	
(b)  

	
Upon entering into this agreement, the Company will pay the Consultant the amount set out in Schedule “B”.













	
(c)  

	
The Consultant acknowledges that all taxes (except GST or HST, if any) and other charges arising in relation to the remuneration of the Consultant are the responsibility of the Consultant. The Consultant agrees and indemnifies the Company against any such taxes or other charges arising under this Agreement.







 


 




 





 











 







 


 



	
 

	
Income taxes payable by the Consultant or Manager in any jurisdiction in which the Consultant or Manager is required to pay income taxes are the sole responsibility of the Consultant or Manager, as applicable, and not the responsibility of the Company. If the location or locations that the Consultant or Manager performs its duties, as set out in Schedule “A”, is outside of Canada, the Company may deduct and pay income tax as directed by the Consultant or Manager if requested by the Consultant or Manager to deduct and pay such income tax.  The Company will make the deductions required by law prior to payment with details provided to the Consultant per payment and per annum.







 





	
(d)  

	
The Consultant shall be solely responsible, as an independent contractor, for complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including, if applicable, without limitation the requirements of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the Employment Insurance Act (Canada) and the Canada Pension Plan Act or similar legislation in other jurisdictions. The Consultant shall be responsible for deducting all applicable federal and provincial income taxes, Canada Pension Plan deductions and Employment Insurance premiums on any remuneration provided by the Company to the Consultant and for remitting same, if applicable, to Canada Revenue Agency or such other governmental authorities as prescribed by law.













	
(e)  

	
In addition to the foregoing, the Company will reimburse the Consultant in accordance with Schedule “B” for expenses incurred by the Consultant or the Manager in connection with the business of the Company and any of its subsidiaries.













	
(f)  

	
The Consultant shall submit bills and vouchers reasonably satisfactory to the Board supporting all requests for reimbursement hereunder.













	
(g)  

	
For so long as the Consultant continues to provide services to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, an incentive bonus will be awarded to the Consultant at the discretion of the Board or a committee of the Board following performance reviews as provided in Schedule “B”.













	
(h)  

	
Nothing herein will disentitle the Consultant from participating in any profit sharing or bonus program, pension, stock option, stock purchase, stock appreciation, and health or medical insurance, or other benefit plans or retirement rights from time to time established by the Company and to which executives of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates are from time to time entitled. As a term of its engagement, the Manager will be enrolled in the Company's benefit plans and stock option plan effective the date of the signing of this Agreement.













	
(i)  

	
If the Manager dies during the Term of this Agreement all options which have been granted to that date will vest and become exercisable pursuant to Schedule “B”.







 


 




 





 











 








 


4.           Annual Commitment







During the Term of this Agreement the Consultant agrees to provide the services of the Manager for forty-eight (48) weeks in each year to be mutually agreed between the Company and the Consultant. If the Manager works for more than forty-eight (48) weeks in any calendar year, the Consultant may at its sole discretion accept on behalf of the Manager a cash payout equal to the fee that would be payable for those days.







5.           Termination








	
(a)  

	
The Consultant may terminate this Agreement and the services being provided by it hereunder by giving the Company at least three (3) months prior written notice (the "Consultant's Termination Notice"), provided that the Company shall, subject to Section 5(g), have the right to give written notice to the Consultant that the Company is waiving the full notice period and is permitting this Agreement and the services of the Consultant to be terminated upon a date that is less than three months after the date of the Consultant's Termination Notice as determined by the Company (the “Company’s Termination Notice”) and further provided that all fees payable to the Consultant hereunder and all other obligations of the Company to the Consultant hereunder shall cease upon the date specified in the Consultant’s Termination Notice or the Company’s Termination Notice, whichever is applicable, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2 or any other Section hereof.












The Consultant shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately upon serving written notice to the Company in the event that:








	
(i)  

	
a receiver or liquidator is appointed in respect of the Company; or













	
(ii)  

	
the Company fails to pay any moneys payable hereunder within fourteen (14) calendar days of the due date and shall further fail to pay such moneys within fourteen (14) calendar days of receiving written notice of such failure from the Consultant.













	
(b)  

	
The Company may at any time other than from the commencement of any steps to effect a Takeover of Control through to twelve (12) months following a Takeover of Control, terminate this Agreement and the engagement of the Consultant without cause. In this event the Company shall be obligated to pay the Consultant the amounts set out below. Such payment shall be payable on the fifth (5th) calendar day following the date of the notice of termination (the “Company's Notice of Termination”) and shall consist of the following:













	
(i)  

	
the Consultant's full fee through to the date of termination at the amount in effect at the time the Company's Notice of Termination was given, the amount of any expenses reimbursable pursuant to Schedule “B”, plus an







 


 




 





 











 






 









	
 

	
amount equal to the amount, if any, of any bonuses previously made to the Consultant which have not been paid;







 





	
(ii)  

	
in lieu of further fees for periods subsequent to the date of the Company's Notice of Termination, a payment equal to the number of months set out in Schedule “B” at the rate of the Consultant’s then existing annual fee pursuant to Schedule “B”; and













	
(iii)  

	
the Consultant's options on shares of the Company shall remain in full force and effect for the earlier of the expiry date of such options or twelve (12) months following the Company's Notice of Termination and the option agreements shall be deemed to have been amended, to the extent required, to the effect that any provision which would otherwise terminate such options as a result of the termination of the Consultant's services shall be null and void.












Termination of the Agreement in accordance with this Section shall relieve the Company from any and all obligations, liabilities or claims by the Consultant, exclusive of monies owing to the Consultant up to the date of termination as set out in this section.








	
(c)  

	
The Company may at any time terminate the services of the Consultant and this Agreement for any just cause that would in law permit the Company to, without notice, terminate the Consultant, in which event the Consultant shall not be entitled to the payment in sections 5(b)(ii) or (iii), but shall be entitled to receive the full amount of the Consultant's fees due through to the date of the notice of termination as set out in section 5(b)(i).













	
(d)  

	
This Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated by the Company if without the written agreement of the Consultant, the nature of the duties, requirements and arrangements of the Consultant are substantially changed from those set out in Schedule “A” such that the nature of the work that is required to be performed is not work which is consistent with the work ordinarily required to be performed for a position similar to that assumed by the Manager as set out in Schedule “A” for a publicly listed mining company, in which event the Company shall be obligated to provide the Consultant with a payment as described in Section 5(b).













	
(e)  

	
Any termination by the Company pursuant to Section 5(b) or (c) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision of this Agreement relied upon and, in the case of a notice of termination for cause under Section 5(c), shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Consultant's engagement. For purposes of this Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective without such notice.







 


 




 





 











 








 



	
(f)  

	
On the termination of this engagement for any reason, the Consultant agrees to deliver up to the Company all equipment, all documents, financial statements, records, plans, drawings, papers of every nature in any way relating to the affairs of the Company and its associated or affiliated companies which may be in its possession or under its control and, if applicable, the Manager's resignation as a Director of the Company and any subsidiary of the Company, effective immediately.













	
(g)  

	
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5(a) the parties acknowledge that, given the particular enterprise and business of the Company it is crucial and necessary that the Consultant maintain a close relationship with the Board based on mutual loyalty, respect and trust. Accordingly, the Company agrees that the Consultant shall have a special right to terminate its engagement with the Company pursuant to this Section for Good Cause (as defined in Section 2(h)) at any time within twelve (12) months of the Takeover of Control of the Company (as defined in Section 2(g)) by giving notice of its resignation in writing to the Board. The Consultant must exercise this right within twelve (12) months following the Takeover of Control as referred to herein. Further, the Company may at anytime from the commencement of any steps to effect a Takeover of Control through to twelve (12) months following a Takeover of Control, terminate this Agreement and the employment of the Manager without cause by giving notice of the Manager’s termination in writing to the Consultant. The notice of resignation or notice of termination pursuant to this Section must be in writing, must cite this Section 5(g) and must contain at least one (1) month's notice and not more than two (2) months notice. The Consultant will not receive any payment unless a notice of resignation is provided to the Company or a notice of termination is provided from the Company, as the case may be. The Company shall be obligated to provide the Consultant with a payment on the fifth calendar day following the earlier of the last calendar day specified in the notice of resignation or notice of termination pursuant to this Section and the date the Consultant actually ceases to be engaged by the Company (the “Date of Resignation”) which shall consist of the following:













	
(i)  

	
the Consultant's fees through to the Date of Resignation at the amount of the Consultant’s then existing annual fee pursuant to Schedule “B” at the time notice of resignation or notice of termination was given, the amount of any reimbursable expenses pursuant to Schedule “B”, plus an amount equal to the amount, if any, of any bonuses previously made to the Consultant which have not been paid, accrued vacation and any other amounts due upon termination or resignation;













	
(ii)  

	
in lieu of further fees for periods subsequent to the Date of Resignation, a payment equal to the number of months set out in Schedule “B” at the rate of the Consultant’s then existing annual fee and incentive bonus pursuant to Schedule “B”; and







 


 




 





 











 








 



	
(iii)  

	
subject to Section 5(g)(iv), in lieu of common shares of the Company issuable upon exercise of options, if any, previously granted to the Consultant under the Company's incentive programs and remaining unexercised at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the fourth calendar day following the Date of Resignation, which options shall be cancelled upon the payment referred to herein, a cash amount equal to the aggregate difference between the exercise price of all options held by the Consultant, whether or not then fully exercisable, and the higher of: (A) the average of the closing prices of the Company's common shares as reported on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or such other stock exchange on which the Company's shares may be listed) for thirty (30) calendar days preceding the Date of Resignation or (B) the average price actually paid for the most highly priced one percent (1%) of the Company's common shares, however and for whatever reason by any person who achieves control of the Company as such term is defined in Section 2(g); and







 



	
(iv)  

	
Notwithstanding Section 5(g)(iii), the Manager shall have the right, exercisable up to the fourth calendar day following the Date of Resignation, to elect to waive the application of Section 5(g)(iii) following the Date of Resignation. The Manager may exercise this election on or before 5:00 p.m. Toronto time on such fourth calendar day by delivering a notice in writing to the Company of such waiver whereupon:













	
(A)  

	
in accordance with the Company’s stock option plan, the Consultant’s unvested options on shares of the Company shall immediately vest and the Consultant's vested options on shares of the Company will expire within ninety (90) days of the Date of Resignation; and













	
(B)  

	
The Company shall be relieved of any obligation in connection with termination of the Consultant's engagement to make the payment in Section 5(g)(iii).












The Consultant agrees to accept such compensation in full satisfaction of any and all claims the Consultant has or may have against the Company and the Consultant agrees to execute and deliver a full and final release in writing of the Company with respect to the same upon payment of said sum, except monies owing by either party to the other up to the Date of Resignation.








	
(h)  

	
The Consultant shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for under any paragraph of this Section 5 by seeking other engagement or otherwise nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5 be reduced by any other compensation earned by the Consultant as a result of engagement by another client after the date of termination or otherwise.







 


 




 





 











 








 



	
(i)  

	
The Company shall have full rights to offset any money properly due by the Consultant or the Manager to the Company against any amounts payable by the Company to the Consultant hereunder.













	
(j)  

	
The Manager will cease to be enrolled in any Company benefit plan after the last day of any notice period given.

Agreement but does not include an action initiated by the Indemnified Party against the Corporation or an Other Entity.

In respect of a Derivative Action, the Corporation will, at the Indemnified Party’s request, make application for approval by a court of competent jurisdiction to indemnify the Indemnified Party against all Costs reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with that Derivative Action, as well as for approval to advance money to the Indemnified Party under Section 4.

Provided there are no reasonable grounds to suspect that the Indemnified Party has not met the conditions of Section 5, and subject to Sections 3 and 6, the Corporation will advance moneys to the Indemnified Party for Costs referred to in Sections 2 and 3.


 



	
5.  

	
Limitation







 


The Corporation will not indemnify the Indemnified Party under Section 2 unless the Indemnified Party:


 


 




  





  











  






 


 



	
5.1  

	
acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the Other Entity for which the Indemnified Party acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Corporation’s request; and







 



	
5.2  

	
in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful.







 



	
6.  

	
Reimbursement of Indemnification Payments







 



	
6.1  

	
If, at the conclusion of any proceeding with respect to which indemnification is provided under this Agreement, there is a final judicial or quasi-judicial determination establishing that the Indemnified Party has not fulfilled the conditions of Section 5 in respect of any amounts advanced or paid by the Corporation, those amounts will be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Corporation within 10 Business Days of the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Corporation’s written request for repayment. The Indemnified Party’s obligation to reimburse the Corporation will be unsecured and no interest will be payable on any money that is required to be reimbursed.







 



	
6.2  

	
If the Indemnified Party subsequently receives indemnification or reimbursement for all or part of any Costs from a source other than the Corporation, the amounts for those Costs that were advanced and paid by the Corporation will be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Corporation within 10 Business Days of the Corporation’s request for repayment, in writing, to the extent that the Indemnified Party receives indemnification or reimbursement from that other source.







 



	
7.  

	
Indemnification Approvals







 


The Corporation will make its best efforts to obtain any approval required under the Act or otherwise in respect of any indemnification required to be made by it under this Agreement.


 



	
8.  

	
Taxes







 


Costs for which indemnification is provided under this Agreement will include any Taxes to which the Indemnified Party may be subject or which the Indemnified Party may suffer or incur as a result of, in respect of, arising out of, or referable to, any indemnification of the Indemnified Party by the Corporation under this Agreement.


 



	
9.  

	
Notice of Proceedings







 


The Indemnified Party will give written notice to the Corporation as soon as practicable upon being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any Claim involving the Corporation or the Indemnified Party which may result in a demand for indemnification under this Agreement. The Corporation will give the Indemnified Party written notice as soon as practicable upon it being served with any statement of claim, writ, notice of motion, indictment, subpoena, investigation order or other document commencing, threatening or continuing any Claim involving the Indemnified Party. A notice delivered under this Section 9


 


 




  





  











  






 


 


will include a description of the Claim or threatened Claim, a summary of the facts giving rise to the Claim or threatened Claim and, if possible, an estimate of any potential liability arising under the Claim or threatened Claim. Failure by either Party to notify the other of any Claim will not relieve the Corporation from liability under this Agreement, except to the extent that the failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Corporation materially prejudices the Corporation.


 



	
10.  

	
Assumption of Defence







 



	
10.1  

	
The Corporation will be entitled to participate, at its expense, in the defence of any Claim, other than a Derivative Action. If the Corporation so elects after receipt of notice of a Claim, or the Indemnified Party in that notice so directs, the Corporation will assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defence of any Claim, in which case the negotiation, settlement or defence will be conducted by counsel chosen by the Corporation and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.







 



	
10.2  

	
If the Corporation elects to assume control of any Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defence of the Claim and to retain counsel to act on his or her behalf. The fees and disbursements of that counsel will be paid by the Indemnified Party unless:







 



	
10.2.1  

	
the Corporation consents (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the retention of that counsel; or







 



	
10.2.2  

	
the parties to the Claim include both the Corporation and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party is advised by counsel that representation of both the Corporation and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, including the availability of legal defences to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Corporation.







 



	
10.3  

	
The Indemnified Party and the Corporation will co-operate fully with each other and their respective counsel in the investigation and defence of any Claim and will make available to each other all relevant books, records, documents and files and will otherwise use their respective best efforts to assist counsel in the proper and adequate defence of any Claim. An Indemnified Party who is not employed by the Corporation will be compensated by the Corporation for this co-operation in the amount and in the manner deemed appropriate and agreed to by the Corporation and the Indemnified Party.







 



	
11.  

	
Settlement







 



	
11.1  

	
The Corporation may, with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), enter into a settlement or other agreement to settle or compromise any Claim. If the Indemnified Party refuses, after requested by the Corporation, acting reasonably, to consent to the terms of a proposed settlement or compromise which is otherwise acceptable to the Corporation, the Corporation may require the Indemnified Party to negotiate or defend the Claim independently of the Corporation. In that event, any amount recovered by the claimant in excess of the amount for which settlement or compromise could have been made by the







 


 




  





  











  







 


 



	
 

	
Corporation will not be recoverable under this Agreement or under the by-laws of the Corporation, it being further agreed by the Parties that in that event, the Corporation will only be responsible for Costs of the Indemnified Party up to the time at which the settlement proposed by the Corporation could have been made.







 





	
11.2  

	
The Corporation will not be liable for the Costs associated with any settlement of any Claim effected without its prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnified Party will have the right to negotiate a settlement in respect of any Claim, provided, however, that in that event, the Indemnified Party will, unless the Corporation has approved the settlement, pay all Costs associated with negotiating and paying the settlement and will not seek indemnity from the Corporation in respect of those Costs.







 



	
11.3  

	
For certainty, the Corporation will not enter into a settlement or other agreement to settle or compromise any Claim, or compensate the Indemnified Party for any Costs associated with the settlement of any Claim, if it has determined, acting reasonably, that the Indemnified Party has not fulfilled the conditions of Section 5 with respect to that Claim.







 



	
12.  

	
D&O Insurance







 


For so long as the Indemnified Party is providing the services of the Manager as a director and officer or in a similar capacity of the Corporation or any Other Entity, the Corporation will obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage for the Corporation’s current and former directors and officers, including the Manager, in the manner and the amount that is deemed prudent by the Corporation’s board of directors. If the Indemnified Party ceases to provide the services of the Manager as a director and officer of the Corporation, or of any Other Entity, the Corporation agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to either:


 



	
12.1  

	
continue to maintain directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage for the Manager for a period of not less than two years from the date the Indemnified Party ceases to provide the services of the Manager as a director and officer or in a similar capacity of the Corporation or the Other Entity; or







 



	
12.2  

	
secure directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage for the Manager on a two year “trailing” (or “run-off”) basis, in each case on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Manager than those contained in the Corporation’s director and officer insurance coverage in effect on the date the Indemnified Party ceases to provide the services of the Manager as a director and officer or in a similar capacity of the Corporation or the Other Entity.







 



	
13.  

	
Amendment and Waiver







 


No supplement, modification, amendment, waiver or termination of this Agreement and, unless otherwise specified, no consent or approval by any Party, will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by it.


 


 




  





  











  






 



	
14.  

	
Access To Information







 


14.1           Subject to subsections 14.2 and 14.3, so long as the Indemnified Party provides the services of the Manager as a director or officer of the Corporation and for a period of two years after ceasing to provide such services, the Indemnified Party shall, upon written request addressed to the Secretary of the Corporation, be entitled to inspect the Records at the head office address of the Corporation.  For the purposes of this section 14.1, “Records” means the books and records of the Corporation and includes, without limitation, all board papers, submissions, minutes, agreements and memorandum which, directly or indirectly, relate to the affairs of the Corporation during the period in which the Indemnified Party provided the services of the Manager as a director or officer of the Corporation, whether kept in physical, electronic or other form.


 


14.2           The Corporation will give access to the Records in accordance with subsection 14.1 only for purposes which are properly referable to the Indemnified Party’s provision of the services of the Manager as a present or former director or officer of the Corporation, including, but not limited to, the defence or prosecution of any administrative or legal proceeding involving the Indemnified Party, the Manager or the Corporation.


 


14.3           The Indemnified Party covenants and agrees to treat all such information contained in the Records as confidential and shall not disclose, publish or communicate or permit the disclosure, publication, or communication of the information contained in the Records to any person except with the written consent of the Corporation, as required by law or if the information is already in the public domain not as a result of a breach of this Agreement.


 



	
15.

15.1

Further, subject to the limitations provided in this Agreement, the indemnity provided by this Agreement will remain in full force and effect despite any act or omission of the Indemnified Party, or person acting in a similar capacity, including







 


 




  





  











  







 


 



	
 

	
any act or omission under the relevant provisions of the statute under which the Corporation or Other Entity exists or was incorporated, amalgamated or continued.
