(5) For greater certainty, in accordance with the CBCA, none of the following are entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) holders of Company Shares who vote, or have instructed a proxyholder to vote, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution; (ii) holders of Company Shares who have not strictly complied with the procedures for exercising Dissent rights or who have withdrawn their exercise of Dissent Rights prior to the Effective Time; (iii) holders of Company Options with respect to their Company Options; (iv) holders of Company RSUs with respect to their Company RSUs; and (v) holders of Company DSUs with respect to their Company DSUs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Company RSU Holder or Company DSU Holder who receives Company Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(2) or Section 3.1(4) in exchange for their Company RSUs or Company DSUs, as applicable, shall not be required to deliver to the Depositary a Letter of Transmittal, share certificate of DRS Advice with respect to such Company Shares in order to receive the Per Share Consideration that they are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(5) in exchange for such Company Shares.
10
(2) After the Effective Time, and until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by Section 5.2(1), each certificate or DRS Advice that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more Company Shares (other than any Dissent Shares) shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the aggregate Per Share Consideration that the holder of such certificate or DRS Advice is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(5).
(3) For greater certainty, none of the holders of Company Shares, holders of Company Options, holders of Company RSUs or holders of Company DSUs shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such Company securities other than the consideration such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1, and, for greater certainty, no such former holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith.
Section 5.3 Dividends and Distributions
No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Integra Shares with a record date after the Effective Date shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Section 3.1(5) unless and until the holder of record of such certificate shall surrender such certificate (or affidavit in accordance with Section 5.5) in accordance with Section 5.2(1). Subject to applicable Law, at the time of such surrender of any such certificate (or in the case of clause (B) below, at the appropriate payment date), there shall be paid to the holder of record of the certificates formerly representing whole Company Shares, without interest, (A) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Date theretofore paid with respect to each whole Integra Share issued to such holder, and (B) on the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Date but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole Integra Share.
Section 5.4 Fractional Shares
In no event shall any holder of Company Shares be entitled to a fractional Integra Share. Where the aggregate number of Integra Shares to be issued to a holder of Company Shares as part of the Per Share Consideration under this Arrangement would result in a fraction of an Integra Share being issuable, the aggregate number of Integra Shares to be received by such holder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Integra Share, without any additional payment or compensation to the holder.
Section 5.5 Loss of Certificates
In the event any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any outstanding Company Shares that were acquired by Integra pursuant to Section 3.1(5) has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the former holder of such Company Shares, the Depositary will, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, deliver to such former holder of Company Shares, or make available for pick up at its offices, the Integra Shares such former holder is entitled to receive in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(5), together with any distributions or dividends which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5.3, less, in each case, any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.7. When authorizing such delivery in relation to any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the former holder of such Company Shares shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of Integra Shares, give a bond satisfactory to Integra and the Depositary (each acting reasonably) in such sum as Integra may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Company, Integra and the Depositary against any claim that may be made against any of them with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
11
Section 5.6 Extinction of Rights
Any certificate or book-entry advice statements which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Company Shares that were acquired by Integra pursuant to Section 3.1 which is not deposited with the Depositary in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(1) before 4:00 p.m. (Toronto Time) on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (the "Proscription Deadline") shall, as of and from the Proscription Deadline, cease to represent a claim or interest of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether as a securityholder or otherwise and whether against the Company, Integra, the Depositary or any other Person. At the Proscription Deadline, the consideration such former holder of Company Shares would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1, together with any distributions or dividends such holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 5.3, shall be deemed to have been surrendered for no consideration to Integra. Neither the Company nor Integra will be liable to any Person in respect of any cash or securities (including any cash or securities previously held by the Depositary in trust for any such former holder) which is forfeited to Integra or delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
Section 5.7 Withholding Rights
The Company, Integra or the Depositary, or their respective agents, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct or withhold, from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable to any Person pursuant to the Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement (including, without limitation, any payments to Dissenting Shareholders, Company Option Holders, Company RSU Holders or Company DSU Holders) such amounts as the Company, Integra or the Depositary, as applicable, determines, acting reasonably, are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to such payment or delivery under the Tax Act or any provision of any other applicable Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate tax authority. Each of the Company, Integra and the Depositary, and their respective agents, as applicable, is hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of, on behalf of such Person, such portion of any share or other security deliverable to such Person as is necessary to provide sufficient funds (after deducting commissions payable, fees, and other costs and expenses) to the Company, Integra or the Depositary, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and the Company, Integra or the Depositary shall notify such Person thereof and remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate taxing authority and, if applicable, any portion of such net proceeds (after deducting commissions payable, fees, and other costs and expenses) that is not required to be so remitted shall be paid to such Person. Any such sale will be made in accordance with applicable Laws and at prevailing market prices and none of the Company, Integra, or the Depositary or their respective agents, as the case may be, shall be under any obligation to obtain a particular price for the share or other security, as applicable, so sold. None of the Company, Integra, the Depositary or any other person will be liable for any loss arising out of any sale under this Section 5.7.
