arising out of service to, and activities on behalf of, the Company to the extent permitted by the Business Corporations Act (as defined below) and the Company’s articles; and

 

	 	C.	It is reasonable and prudent for the Company to obligate itself contractually to indemnify such persons (including the Indemnified Party) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or

Party’s willingness to serve on the Board.

 ARTICLE 3: INDEMNIFICATION 

3.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Indemnitees to the fullest extent authorized and permitted by
the Business Corporations Act against all judgments, penalties and fines awarded or imposed in, and all amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “settlement amounts”) of, any proceeding in which any of the Indemnitees: 

 

	 	(a)	is or may be joined as a party, or 

  

	 	(b)	is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or Expenses related to such proceeding, 

by reason of the Indemnified Party being or having been a director or an officer of the Company or an Affiliate (collectively, an “Indemnification
Event”), and all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitees in respect of a proceeding identified in this Section 3.1, provided that: 
  

	 	(c)	in relation to the subject matter of the proceeding the Indemnified Party acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or the Affiliate, as applicable; and 

 

	 	(d)	in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that his/her conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful. 

3.2 For greater certainty, a settlement amount subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 3.1 shall include any Taxes which the Indemnitees may be
subject to or suffer or incur as a result of, in respect of, arising out of or referable to any indemnification of the Indemnitees by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. 

3.3 To the extent permitted by the Business Corporations Act, at the request of the Indemnitees, the Company will pay all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitees in respect of a proceeding identified in Section 3.1 as they are incurred from time to time in advance of the final non-appealable disposition of that proceeding, on receipt of the following: 

 

	 	(a)	a written undertaking, in form and on terms satisfactory to the Company acting reasonably, by or on behalf of the Indemnitees to repay such amount(s) if it is ultimately determined by a court or tribunal of competent
jurisdiction that the Company is prohibited under the Business Corporations Act from paying such Expenses (such repayment obligation to be unsecured and interest free); and 

 

	 	(b)	evidence, satisfactory to the Company acting reasonably, as to the amount of such Expenses. 

  
 - 3 - 

 For greater certainty, subject as hereinafter provided in Article 4, it shall not be necessary for the
Indemnitees to pay such Expenses and then seek reimbursement; the Indemnitees shall provide satisfactory (pursuant to Section 3.4) evidence to the Company for direct payment by the Company. The Company shall make payment to the Indemnitees (or
as the Indemnitees may direct) within ten (10) days after the Company has received the foregoing information from the Indemnitees. 
 3.4 The written
certification of any of the Indemnitees, together with a copy of a receipt, or a statement indicating the amount paid or to be paid by the Indemnitees, will constitute satisfactory evidence of any Expenses for the purposes of Section 3.3. 

3.5 Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Company will not be obligated under this Agreement to indemnify the Indemnitees: 

 

	 	(a)	in respect of any matters for which the Indemnified Party must not be indemnified under the Business Corporations Act, or in respect of any liability that the Indemnitees may not be relieved from under the Business
Corporations Act or otherwise at law, unless in any of those cases a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction has made an order authorizing the indemnification; or 

 

	 	(b)	with respect to any proceeding initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitees (including against the Company or any Affiliate) or in which the Indemnified Party is joined voluntarily as a plaintiff without the
written agreement of the Company, except for any proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or the Company’s articles. 

3.6 It is the intent of the parties hereto that in the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law which expands the right of
the Company or an Affiliate to indemnify or make advances to a director or officer to a greater degree than would be afforded currently under the Company’s articles and this Agreement at the date hereof, (i) the Indemnified Party shall
receive the greater benefits afforded by such change, and (ii), to the extent impacted by such change, this Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced so as to provide obligatory indemnification and advancement of Expenses under such circumstances
as set forth in this Agreement, if any, in which the providing of indemnification and advancement of Expenses would otherwise be discretionary.  

3.7 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that the Indemnified Party is, by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party is or
was a director or an officer of the Company or any Affiliate, a witness or participant other than as a named party in a proceeding, the Company shall pay on a current and as-incurred basis (as set forth in Section 3.3) all Expenses owed or actually
incurred by the Indemnified Party or on the Indemnified Party’s behalf in connection therewith. 

  
 - 4 - 

 3.8 The Company shall have the burden of establishing that any Expenses it wishes to challenge is not reasonable.
Any challenge to the reasonability of Expenses can be made only upon the conclusion of the proceeding. 
 3.9 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Company hereby acknowledges that the Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement and/or insurance provided by or on behalf of an Affiliated Entity (as defined below). The Company hereby agrees that,
with respect to the Indemnitee, the Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, their respective successors and assigns and persons claiming through any of them, (i) is, relative to each Affiliated Entity, the indemnitor of first resort
(i.e., its obligations to the Indemnitee under this Agreement are primary and any duplicative, overlapping or corresponding obligations of an Affiliated Entity are secondary), (ii) shall be required to make all advances and other payments under
this Agreement, and shall be fully liable therefor, without regard to any rights the Indemnitee may have against his or her Affiliated Entity or any insurer of any Affiliated Entity, and (iii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any
such Affiliated Entity from any and all claims against such Affiliated Entity for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of any claim by the Indemnitee under this Agreement or the Company’s articles. The
Company further agrees, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, their respective successors and assigns and persons claiming through any of them, that (i) no advancement or payment by an Affiliated Entity on behalf of the Indemnitee with
respect to any claim for which the Indemnitee has sought advancement or indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing, (ii) any such Affiliated Entity shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such
advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee against the Company and (iii) Indemnitee will not be obligated to seek indemnification from or advancement or reimbursement by any Affiliated Entity with respect to any
claim. The Company agrees that each Affiliated Entity is an express third party beneficiary of the terms of this Section 3.9. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliated Entity” means, with respect to the Indemnitee,
any investment fund, institutional investor, investment manager, management company, managed account or other financial intermediary which employs or engages, or is affiliated with, the Indemnitee, to whom Indemnitee provides services, or in whom
Indemnitee has a direct or indirect equity or similar interest. 
 ARTICLE 4: DENIAL OF INDEMNIFICATION 

4.1 If (i) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Article 3 hereof; or (ii) indemnification under this Agreement is not paid in full
by the Company within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor has been received by it and the applicable approval of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction has been obtained where required, whichever is later; the Indemnitees may
any time thereafter bring suit against the Company and, if wholly successful on the merits or otherwise or substantially successful on the merits, the Indemnitees will also be entitled to be paid all Expenses incurred in connection with the
prosecution of such claim including, for greater certainty, legal fees (including reasonable disbursements) as between solicitor and own client on a full indemnity basis. It will be a defence to any action instituted

  
 - 5 - 

 
pursuant to this Section 4.1 that the Indemnified Party has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under this Agreement, the Business Corporations Act or applicable law
for the Company to indemnify the Indemnitees for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defence will be on the Company. 

ARTICLE 5: CONDUCT OF DEFENCE; SETTLEMENT 

5.1 The Indemnitees may elect to solely control the defence or conduct of any claim or proceeding identified in Section 3.1, with respect to the
Indemnitees, with counsel chosen by such Indemnitees. 
 5.2 The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees, which may be
provided or withheld in the Indemnitees’ sole discretion, effect any settlement of any proceeding against the Indemnitees or which could have been brought against the Indemnitees or which potentially or actually imposes any cost, liability,
exposure or burden on the Indemnitees unless: 
 (a) such settlement solely involves the payment of money or performance of any obligation by
persons other than the Indemnitees and includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitees by all relevant parties from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such proceeding and an acknowledgment that the Indemnitees deny all
wrongdoing in connection with such matters; and 
 (b) the Company has fully indemnified the Indemnitees with respect to, and held the
Indemnitees harmless from and against, all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitees or on behalf of the Indemnitees in connection with such proceeding. 
 5.3
The Company shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitees against amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding against the Indemnitees if such settlement is effected by the Indemnitees without the Company’s prior written consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money or performance of any obligation by persons other than the Company and includes an unconditional release of the Company
by any party to such proceeding other than the Indemnitees from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such proceeding and an acknowledgment that the Company denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. 

5.4 In the event the Indemnitees elect to defer to the Company the right and obligation to control the defense or conduct, a written notice shall be sent to
the Company describing the proceeding identified in Section 3.1 and requesting the Company to assume conduct of the defense thereof. Promptly after receiving such notice from the Indemnitees, the Company shall promptly assume conduct of the
defence thereof and, at the Company’s expense, retain counsel on behalf of the Indemnitees who is satisfactory to the Indemnitees, acting reasonably, to represent the Indemnitees in respect of the proceeding. If the Company assumes conduct of
the defence on behalf of the Indemnitees, the Indemnitees hereby consent to the conduct thereof and to any action taken by the Company, in good faith, in connection therewith and the Indemnitees will fully cooperate in such defence including,
without limitation, providing documents, attending examinations for discovery, making affidavits, meeting with counsel, testifying and divulging to the Company all information reasonably required to defend or prosecute the proceeding. 

  
 - 6 - 

 5.5 In the event the Indemnitees elect to defer to the Company the right and obligation to control the defense or
conduct, in connection with any proceeding in respect of which the Indemnitees may be entitled to be indemnified hereunder, the Indemnitees will have the right to employ separate counsel of their choosing and to participate in the defence thereof
but the legal fees and disbursements of such counsel will be at the sole expense of the Indemnitees unless: 
  

	 	(a)	the Indemnitees reasonably determine that there are legal defences available to the Indemnitees that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company or any Affiliate, as the case may be, or that a
conflict of interest exists which makes representation by counsel chosen by the Company not advisable; 

  

	 	(b)	the Company has not assumed the defence of the proceeding and employed counsel therefor satisfactory to the Indemnitees, acting reasonably, within a reasonable period of time after receiving notice thereof; or

  

	 	(c)	employment of such other counsel has been authorized in writing by the Company; 

 in which event the reasonable
legal fees and disbursements of such counsel will be paid by the Company, subject to the terms hereof. In any such proceeding, the Company will fully cooperate in the defence of the Indemnitees including, without limitation, providing documents and
causing its representatives to attend examinations for discovery, make affidavits, meet with counsel and testify and divulge all information in the Company’s possession reasonably required to defend or prosecute the proceeding. 

ARTICLE 6: COURT APPROVAL 
 6.1 In
the event of any claim for indemnification or payment of Expenses with respect to a proceeding brought against an Indemnitee by or on behalf of the Company or an Affiliate, provided that the Indemnified Party has fulfilled the conditions set forth
in paragraphs 3.1(c) and 3.1(d) of Section 3.1, the Company will with best efforts apply to a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction for an order approving the indemnification of, or payment of Expenses to, the Indemnitees. 

ARTICLE 7: NO PRESUMPTIONS AS TO ABSENCE OF GOOD FAITH 

7.1 Termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or similar or
other result, will not, of itself, create any presumption for the purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnified Party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, or,
in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, that he/she did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his/her conduct was lawful (unless the judgment or order of a court or another tribunal of competent jurisdiction specifically
finds otherwise). Neither the failure of the Company to have made a determination that indemnification of the Indemnitees is 

  
 - 7 - 

 
proper in the circumstances because the Indemnified Party has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company that the Indemnified Party has not met such
applicable standard of conduct, will be a defence to any action brought by the Indemnitees against the Company to recover the amount of any indemnification claim, nor create a presumption that the Indemnified Party has not met the applicable
standard of conduct. 
 7.2 For purposes of any determination under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party will be deemed, subject to compelling evidence to
the contrary, to have acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, or, in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, to have had reasonable grounds for believing
that his/her conduct was lawful. The Company will have the burden of establishing the absence of honesty, good faith, a view to the best interests of the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be, and, in the case of a proceeding other than a
civil proceeding, reasonable grounds for believing that the Indemnified Party’s conduct was lawful. 
 7.3 The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to
act, of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or any Affiliate will not be imputed to the Indemnified Party for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 8: RESIGNATION 
 8.1 Nothing
in this Agreement will prevent or restrict the Indemnified Party from, at any time, changing his/her title or position within the Company or any Affiliate or from resigning as a director or an officer of the Company or any Affiliate. The Company and
any Affiliate will have no obligation under this Agreement to continue the Indemnified Party as a director or an officer. 

ARTICLE 9: DEATH 
 9.1 For greater
certainty, if the Indemnified Party is deceased and is or becomes entitled to indemnification under any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party’s estate and the Indemnitees to
the same extent as it would indemnify the Indemnified Party, if alive, hereunder. 
 ARTICLE 10: OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES 

10.1 The indemnification provided for in this Agreement will not derogate from, exclude or reduce any other rights or remedies, in law or in equity, to which
the Indemnitees may be entitled by operation of law or under any statute, rule, regulation or ordinance or by virtue of any available insurance coverage, including, but not limited to, the following: 

 

	 	(a)	the Business Corporations Act; 

  

	 	(b)	the constating documents of the Company or an Affiliate; 

  

	 	(c)	any vote of the shareholders or disinterested directors of the Company or an Affiliate; or 

  

	 	(d)	any applicable insurance policies of the Company, 

  
 - 8 - 

 both as to matters arising out of the capacity of the Indemnified Party as a director or an officer of the
Company or an Affiliate or as to matters arising out of another capacity with the Company or an Affiliate, while being a director or an officer of the Company or an Affiliate, or as to matters arising by reason of his/her being or having been at the
request of the Company, a director, officer or employee of any other legal entity of which the Company is or was an equity owner or creditor. 

ARTICLE 11: NOTICE OF PROCEEDING 

11.1 The Indemnitees agree to give written notice to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after being served with any statement of claim, writ,
notice of motion, indictment or other document commencing or continuing any proceedings against the Indemnitees as a party. Any failure of the Indemnitees to give notice as herein provided shall not derogate from, waive, exclude or reduce any of the
rights or remedies to which the Indemnitees are entitled to pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement, provided the Company has not suffered any actual damage from the failure of the Indemnitees to give notice as herein provided (and, in
such case, only to the extent of such actual damage). 
 11.2 If the Company receives notice from any other source of any matter of which the Indemnitees
would otherwise be obligated hereunder to give notice to the Company, then the Indemnitees will be relieved of the obligation hereunder to give notice to the Company, provided that the Company has not suffered any actual damage from the failure of
the Indemnitees to give notice as herein provided (and, in such case, only to the extent of such actual damage). The Company will give notice of such matter to the Indemnitees as soon as reasonably practicable. 

ARTICLE 12: EFFECTIVE DATE 
 12.1 The
right to be indemnified for Expenses or to the reimbursement of Expenses pursuant to this Agreement is intended to be retroactive and shall be available with respect to Indemnification Events occurring prior to the execution hereof. For greater
certainty, this Agreement shall be effective as and from the first day that the Indemnified Party became or becomes a director or an officer of the Company or an Affiliate or began serving in a capacity similar thereto for the Company or an
Affiliate. 
 ARTICLE 13: INSOLVENCY 

13.1 It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement and the obligations of the Company will not be affected, discharged, impaired, mitigated or
released by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding of creditors of the Company and that in such event any amount owing to the Indemnitees hereunder will be treated in the same manner as the other fees or
expenses of the directors and officers of the Company. 

  
 - 9 - 

 ARTICLE 14: SURVIVAL 

14.1 The obligations of the Company under this Agreement will not terminate or be released upon the Indemnified Party ceasing to be a director or an officer
of the Company or any Affiliate at any time or times and will survive and remain in full force and effect until the later of (i) thirty (30) days following the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to any and all possible
proceedings and (ii) the final resolution (including all appeals) of any proceeding with respect to which the Indemnified Party has made a request or claim for advancement or indemnification (including the resolution (including all appeals) of
any disputes under this Agreement between the Company and the Indemnified Party with respect thereto). 
 14.2 The obligations of the Company under
Article 15 of this Agreement shall continue for six (6) years after the Indemnified Party ceases to be a director or an officer of the Company or any Affiliate. 

ARTICLE 15: INSURANCE 
 15.1 The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and maintain a policy of insurance with one or more insurance companies (each with an A.M Best rating of A or higher) providing directors and officers with reasonable coverage (by reference to
the prevailing industry standard) with respect to any liability relating to its directors or officers, which policy shall pursuant to its terms extend to the Indemnified Party in his/her capacity as a director or an officer of the Company and its
Affiliates. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to include the Indemnified Party as an insured under such policy to the maximum extent reasonably possible on the same terms as are provided to the most favorably insured of the
Company’s directors and will provide the Indemnified Party with a copy of such policy upon the Indemnified Party being so included as an insured. In the event the Indemnified Party is not named under such policy, the Company shall
immediately provide written notice of such fact to the Indemnified Party. 
 15.2 Following the Indemnified Party ceasing to be a director or officer of the
Company, for any reason whatsoever, the Company shall purchase and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, for the benefit of the Indemnitees, to the extent at any time not otherwise provided by the Company, such that the
Indemnified Party’s insurance coverage is, at all times, the same as any insurance coverage the Company had been purchasing and maintaining for the benefit of its then current directors and officers when the Indemnified Party ceased to be a
director or officer of the Company and shall provide the Indemnified Party with insurance coverage that is at least as broad and favorable as the coverage provided to every other current or former director and officer of the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if (a) liability insurance coverage for former directors and officers is no longer available or (b) it is no longer industry practice in Canada among responsible companies to procure liability insurance for their former
directors and officers and the cost to the Company to do so would be commercially unreasonable (as determined by the Board acting reasonably), the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to procure liability insurance coverage for the
Indemnified Party; provided that the Company procures such level of insurance coverage, if any, as is available for former directors and officers at a commercially reasonable rate and the Company adopts comparable measures to protect former
directors in the circumstances as are adopted by other responsible companies. The onus is on the Company to establish that the circumstances described in the previous sentence exist. 

  
 - 10 - 

 ARTICLE 16: TAX ADJUSTMENT 

16.1 Should any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, including the payment of insurance premiums or any payment made by an insurer under an insurance
policy, be deemed to constitute a taxable benefit or otherwise be or become subject to any Taxes or levy, then the Company shall pay any amount necessary to ensure that the amount received by or on behalf of the Indemnitees, after the payment of or
withholding for Taxes, fully reimburses the Indemnitees for the actual cost, expense or liability incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitees. 

ARTICLE 17: SUBROGATION 
 17.1 To the
extent permitted by law, and except as set forth in Section 3.8 (which will control over this Section 17.1), the Company shall be subrogated to all rights which the Indemnitees may have under all policies of insurance or other contracts
pursuant to which the Indemnitees may be entitled to reimbursement of, or indemnification in respect of any Expenses borne by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict the
right of the Company or the Indemnitees to proceed or collect against any insurers or be deemed to give such insurers any rights against the Company under or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation any right to be subrogated to
the Indemnitees’ rights hereunder, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the Company in writing, and the obligation of such insurers to the Company and the Indemnified Party shall not be deemed to be reduced or impaired in any respect by
virtue of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE 18: NOTICE 

18.1 Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder will be in writing and will be either hand delivered, or will be sent by
registered mail, all charges prepaid, to the address set out on the first page hereof. 
 18.2 In the case of registered mail, any notice or other
communication will be deemed to be received on the fourth (4th) Business Day following the day of mailing, provided there is no Postal Interruption at the time of mailing or at any time
during the five (5) days either preceding or following the day of mailing, in which case any such notice or communication will be deemed to be received only upon actual receipt thereof. 

18.3 Any party hereto may, from time to time, modify or change its address by providing written notice to the other party, and thereafter the address as
modified or changed will be deemed to be the address of the person specified above. 

  
 - 11 - 

 ARTICLE 19: SEVERABILITY 

19.1 If any portion of a provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever: 

 

	 	(a)	the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any sections of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable that are not of themselves in the whole invalid, illegal or unenforceable) will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and 

  

	 	(b)	to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all portions of any sections of this Agreement containing any such provisions held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) will be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision which is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

20.1 No supplement, modification or amendment of, or waiver under, this Agreement will be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.

 20.2 This Agreement and the obligations of the Company hereunder will not be affected, discharged, impaired, mitigated or released by reason of any
waiver, extension of time or indulgence by the Indemnitees of any breach or default in performance by the Company of any terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, nor will any waiver, indulgence or extension of time constitute a waiver of:

  

	 	(a)	any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar); or 

  

	 	(b)	any subsequent or continuing breach or non-performance, 

 nor will the failure by the Indemnitees to assert any
of their rights or remedies hereunder in a timely fashion be construed as a waiver or acquiescence or affect the Indemnitees’ right to assert any such right or remedy thereafter. 

ARTICLE 21: ENTIRE AGREEMENT 
 21.1
This Agreement, together with any provision of any other agreement, applicable law, or the Company’s articles providing, in each case, greater protection for the Indemnified Party than that provided herein, will supersede and replace any and
all prior or contemporaneous agreements between the parties (except any written agreement of employment or consulting between the Company or an Affiliate and the Indemnified Party, which agreement of employment or consulting, if in existence, will
remain in full effect except to the extent augmented or amended herein) and discussions between the parties hereto respecting the matters set forth herein, and will constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
matters set forth herein. 
 ARTICLE 22: SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 

22.1 This Agreement will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company and the Indemnitees.

Reference is made to (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of July 2, 2015, among Aetna Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Parent”), Echo Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub 1”), Echo Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub 2”), and Humana Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) (each of Parent, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and the Company a “party” and collectively, the “parties”) and (ii) the letter agreement, dated as of December 21, 2016, by and among Parent, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and the Company.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

1. Pursuant to Section 10.01(a) of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Parent hereby mutually agree to terminate the Merger Agreement, including the letter agreement referenced in clause (ii) above and the written notices dated on or about June 24, 2016 delivered by each of Parent and the Company to the other party in respect of the initial extension of the End Date, all schedules and exhibits thereto, and all ancillary agreements contemplated thereby, entered pursuant thereto or entered in connection therewith (collectively with the Merger Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”), effective immediately (the “Termination Time”) and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents (including Sections 10.02  and 10.03 of the Merger Agreement), the Transaction Documents are terminated in their entirety and shall be of no further force or effect whatsoever (the “Termination”); provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2015, by and among the Company and Parent (the “Clean Team Agreement”) shall each continue to remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms (as modified by Paragraph 5 below).

2. Parent hereby agrees to pay the Regulatory Termination Fee ($1,000,000,000) to the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five Business Days following the date hereof), which amount the Company acknowledges and agrees is in full satisfaction of any amounts required to be paid by Parent or any of its Affiliates pursuant to Section 10.03(c) of the Merger Agreement and no further amounts will be required to be paid under the Merger Agreement.  The Company hereby designates the following account to which the Regulatory Termination Fee shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds:

3. Parent agrees that the fraction (expressed as a percentage) used to determine its Applicable Portion (as such term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2016, between Parent and Molina Healthcare, Inc. (the “Aetna APA”)) is 70.06%, and Parent further agrees to pay to Molina Healthcare, Inc. (“Molina”) the Applicable Termination Fee (as such term is defined in the Aetna APA) in accordance with the terms of the Aetna APA.  The Company agrees that the fraction (expressed as a percentage) used to determine its Applicable Portion (as such term is defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2016, between the Company and Molina Healthcare, Inc. (the “Humana APA”)) is 29.94%, and the Company further agrees to pay to Molina the Applicable Termination Fee (as such term is defined in the Humana APA) in accordance with the terms of the Humana APA.

4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Transaction Documents (including Sections 10.02 and 10.03 of the Merger Agreement), each of Parent, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and the Company, each on behalf of itself and each of its respective Subsidiaries, controlled Affiliates  successors and assigns of each of them (the “Releasors”), does, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby fully release, forever discharge and covenant not to sue any other party, any of their respective successors, Subsidiaries, Affiliates, assignees, Representatives, contractors, auditors, members, stockholders and advisors and the heirs, successors and assigns of each of them (collectively the “Releasees”), from and with respect to any and all liability, claims, rights, actions, causes of action, suits, liens, obligations, accounts, debts, demands, agreements, promises, liabilities, controversies, costs, charges, damages, expenses and fees (including attorney’s, financial advisor’s or other fees) (“Claims”), howsoever arising, whether based on any Applicable Law or right of action, known or unknown, mature or unmatured, contingent or fixed, liquidated or unliquidated, accrued or unaccrued, which Releasors, or any of them, ever had or now have or can have or shall or may hereafter have against the Releasees, or any of them, in connection with, arising out of or related to the Transaction Documents, the Aetna APA, the Humana APA or the transactions contemplated therein or thereby, or the Humana Acquisition Litigation (as defined in the Humana APA). The release contemplated by this Paragraph 4 is intended to be as broad as permitted by Applicable Law and is intended to, and does, extinguish all claims of any kind whatsoever, whether in law or equity or otherwise, that are based on or relate to facts, conditions, actions or omissions (known or unknown) that have existed or occurred at any time to and including the Termination Time.  Each of the Releasors hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by law the provisions, rights and benefits of California Civil Code section 1542 (or any similar law), which provides:  “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.” 

Nothing in this Paragraph 4 shall (i) apply to any action by any party to enforce the rights and obligations imposed pursuant to this letter agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement (as modified by Paragraph 5 below) or the Clean Team Agreement or (ii) constitute a release by any party for any Claim arising under this letter agreement (including, without limitation, the obligations under Paragraphs 2, 3, 5 and 7) or under the Confidentiality Agreement (as modified by Paragraph 5 below) or the Clean Team Agreement.

5. Each of the Company and Parent (i) requests the other party to promptly deliver to it or destroy all documents heretofore furnished to the other party or any of its Representatives in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3 of the Confidentiality Agreement and (ii) agrees to comply with its obligations under said Section 2.3 of the Confidentiality Agreement as a result of such request. The Company and Parent agree that, notwithstanding Section 7.11 of the Confidentiality Agreement, their respective confidentiality and use obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement (other than under Sections 5 and 6 thereof) shall remain in effect until, and shall terminate on, December 31, 2018.

6. Each party represents and warrants to the other that: (i) such party has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this letter agreement and to take the actions contemplated hereby; (ii) the execution and delivery of this letter agreement and the actions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of such party; and (iii) this letter agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such party and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this letter agreement by the other parties hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms (subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions).

7. Each party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates to, cooperate with each other in the taking of all actions necessary, proper or advisable under this letter agreement and Applicable Laws to effectuate the Termination and the mutual release set forth in Paragraph 4 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries, Representatives and Affiliates to, cooperate with each other in connection with the withdrawal of any applications to or termination of proceedings before any Governmental Authority or under any Applicable Law, in each case to the extent applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Aetna APA and the Humana APA.

8. Any provision of this letter agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this letter agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

9. This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

10. Each of the parties hereto (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, on behalf of itself or its property, in accordance with Section 11.01 of the Merger Agreement or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, and nothing in this Paragraph 10 or Section 11.08 of the Merger Agreement shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law, (ii) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its property in any action or proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware, and only if such federal court does not have or declines jurisdiction, any other state court within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute arises out of this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iv) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Delaware Court of Chancery (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware), (v) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same and (vi) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts.

11. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS LETTER AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH 11.

12. This letter agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile or by email with .pdf attachments, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This letter agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by each of the other parties hereto, this letter agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any oral or written agreement or other communication).

13. This letter agreement, the Merger Agreement (as amended or supplemented to date), the Confidentiality Agreement and the Clean Team Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof.
