(v)

the Miranda Board shall have unanimously recommended that Miranda Shareholders accept the Offer in accordance with Section 2.3(a) and not have withdrawn the recommendation referred to in Section 2.3(a) or changed, modified, or qualified such recommendation in a manner that has substantially the same effect or taken any other action or made any public statement inconsistent with such recommendation;

(g)

Prior to printing the Miranda Circular, Miranda shall provide Belden and the Acquiror with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on it, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by Miranda, acting reasonably.

Miranda represents and warrants to and in favour of Belden and the Acquiror that:

(d)

Miranda has been advised and believes, after reasonable inquiry, that each of the Lock-Up Parties: (A) intends to enter into a Lock-Up Agreement; and (B) agrees that the press release to be issued by Belden may so state and that references to such support may be made in the Acquiror Circular and other documents relating to the Offer; and

the Miranda Board has by resolution deferred the Separation Time of the Rights under the Shareholder Rights Plan with respect to the Offer until a time to be determined by the Miranda Board (to be no earlier than immediately after the Expiry Time), and has agreed to irrevocably waive or suspend the operation of or to otherwise render the Shareholder Rights Plan inoperative against the Offer and the acquisition of Miranda Shares pursuant thereto with effect immediately prior to the Take-Up.

- 13 -

2.4 Miranda Shareholders’ List

Miranda shall provide the Acquiror, as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with a list of the registered holders of Miranda Shares as well as a list of participants in book based nominee registrants such as CDS & Co. and non-objecting beneficial holders of Miranda Shares, in each case in electronic form and as of the latest practicable date, including address and securityholding information for each Person, to the extent available. Miranda shall concurrently provide the Acquiror with the names, addresses and holdings of all Persons having rights to acquire Miranda Shares and the details of such rights. Miranda shall from time to time promptly furnish Acquiror with such additional information, including updated or additional lists of Miranda Shareholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions and other assistance as Belden may reasonably request in order to be able to communicate the Offer to the Miranda Shareholders and to such other Persons as are entitled to receive the Offer under applicable Securities Laws.

2.5 Designation of Directors

Promptly upon the purchase by the Acquiror of such number of Miranda Shares as represents at least a majority of the then outstanding Miranda Shares and from time to time thereafter, Miranda acknowledges that the Acquiror shall be entitled to designate such number of members of the Miranda Board, and any committees thereof, as is proportionate to the percentage of the outstanding Miranda Shares owned by Belden and the Acquiror and Miranda shall not frustrate the Acquiror’s attempts to do so and covenants to co-operate with the Acquiror, subject to all applicable Laws, to enable the Acquiror’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Miranda Board and to constitute a percentage of the directors on the Miranda Board as is proportionate to the percentage of the outstanding Miranda Shares owned by the Acquiror, including, at the request of the Acquiror, by its commercially reasonable efforts to expand the Miranda Board and/or secure the resignations of such number of directors as is necessary to enable the Acquiror’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Miranda Board.

2.6 Shareholder Rights Plan

Without limiting Section 2.3(e), Miranda and the Miranda Board shall take all further action necessary:

(a)

in order to ensure that the Separation Time does not occur in connection with this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions;

(b)

to give effect to the waiver, if required, of the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to the Contemplated Transactions and to ensure that the Shareholder Rights Plan does not interfere with or impede the success of any of the Contemplated Transactions; and

(c)

if requested by the Acquiror, in order to ensure that upon the take-up of Miranda Shares pursuant to the Offer, all Rights cease to be exercisable and are redeemed immediately prior thereto at the “Redemption Price” as provided under the Shareholder Rights Plan without further formality and to ensure that upon such redemption all Rights become void.

Miranda covenants that (i) it will not waive the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to any Acquisition Proposal unless (A) it is a Superior Proposal and the Right to Match Period has expired, or (B) such waiver is deemed to occur under the Shareholder Rights Plan as a result of a waiver by Miranda of the application of the Shareholder Rights Plan to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) it will not amend the Shareholder Rights Plan (except as may be necessary to comply with its obligations hereunder) nor authorize, approve or adopt any other shareholder rights plan or enter into any agreement providing therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Miranda shall be entitled to defer the Separation Time in connection with an Acquisition Proposal.

- 14 -

2.7 Standstill

Miranda waives Section 14 of the Confidentiality Agreement to permit the making of the Offer, the entering into of the Lock-Up Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and the exercise by the Acquiror of its rights hereunder; provided, however, that if the Offer is not made hereunder or is withdrawn or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms for any reason, Belden agrees that it will continue to be bound by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (including Section 14 of the Confidentiality Agreement).

2.8 Subsequent Acquisition Transaction

If, within 120 days after the date of the Offer, the Offer has been accepted by holders of not less than 90% of the outstanding Miranda Shares, excluding the Miranda Shares held by the Acquiror or an “affiliate” or an “associate” (as those terms are defined in the QBCA) of the Acquiror on the date of the Offer, the Acquiror presently intends, to the extent possible, to acquire the remainder of the Miranda Shares from those holders who have not accepted the Offer pursuant to Section 398 of the QBCA (a “Compulsory Acquisition”). If the statutory right of Compulsory Acquisition is not available, but the Acquiror takes up and pays for, or otherwise acquires, directly or indirectly at least 66 2/3% of the Miranda Shares pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Acquiror agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to acquire, and Miranda agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Acquiror in acquiring, the balance of the Miranda Shares as soon as practicable and in any event within a period of 120 days following Take-Up by way of amalgamation, statutory arrangement, capital reorganization or other transaction proposed by the Acquiror, involving Miranda and Belden or an affiliate of Belden (a “Subsequent Acquisition Transaction”), provided that the consideration per Miranda Share is at least equal in value to the consideration paid by the Acquiror under the Offer, and in no event will the Acquiror be required to offer consideration per Miranda Share greater than the Offer Price. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Belden covenants and agrees that, unless Miranda agrees otherwise in writing, Belden shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Acquiror to consummate the Offer, subject only to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof.

4.5 Belden Guarantee of Performance of the Acquiror

Belden hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, and covenants and agrees to be jointly and severally liable with the Acquiror, as principal obligor, for the due and punctual performance of each and every obligation of the Acquiror under or relating to the Offer and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of the aggregate Offer Price payable under the Offer.

4.6 Covenants Regarding Non-Solicitation

(a)

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.6 , Miranda shall not, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, agent or representative of Miranda or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates:

(i)

make, solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, continue or otherwise facilitate (including by way of furnishing information, permitting any visit to any facilities or properties of Miranda or any Miranda subsidiary or entering into any form of agreement, arrangement or understanding) the initiation of any inquiries, proposals or offers regarding an Acquisition Proposal;

(ii)

engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, provided that, for greater certainty, Miranda may (A) advise any Person requesting access to information with respect to Miranda or any of its subsidiaries that such access cannot be provided except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (B) advise any Person making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior Proposal when the Miranda Board has so determined;

(iii)

withdraw, modify, change or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify, change or qualify, in any manner adverse to Belden or the Acquiror, the approval of the Miranda Board or any committee thereof of this Agreement or the recommendation of the Miranda Board or any committee thereof that Miranda Shareholders accept the Offer; or

(iv)

approve, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or remain neutral with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that publicly taking no position or a neutral position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal until ten (10) calendar days following the public announcement of such Acquisition Proposal shall not be considered a violation of this Section 4.6(a)(iv));

- 23 -

(v)

release any Person from or waive, or fail to enforce on a timely basis or otherwise forbear the enforcement of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement with any Person (A) except to allow such Person to confidentially propose to the Miranda Board an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal or otherwise make a Superior Proposal, and (B) provided that any automatic release or deemed waiver from the standstill provisions of any such agreement in accordance with its terms shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.6(a)(v);

(vi)

accept or enter into, or publicly propose to accept or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, agreement, arrangement, understanding or undertaking related to any Acquisition Proposal.

(b)

Miranda shall, and shall cause the officers, directors and representatives of Miranda and its subsidiaries to, cease immediately all current discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal and, in connection therewith, Miranda shall discontinue access to any other Persons to any data rooms (virtual or otherwise) made available by and under the control of Miranda. Within three Business Days following the date of this Agreement (or, where Section 4.6(a)(iv) is applicable, promptly following the end of the Diligence Period), Miranda shall request to the extent permitted under the applicable confidentiality and standstill agreement the return or destruction of all information provided to any Persons who have entered into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with Miranda relating to any potential Acquisition Proposal and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such requests are honoured in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality and standstill agreements.

(c)

Miranda shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, agent or representative of Miranda or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, offer or commit to pay or pay any fee to any Person or assume or agree to reimburse the expenses of any Person as an inducement to the making of or otherwise in connection with any Acquisition Proposal.

(d)

Miranda shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours after it has received any proposal, inquiry, offer or request), notify Belden, at first orally and then in writing, of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request relating to or constituting an Acquisition Proposal or which could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any amendments to the foregoing, or any request for non-public information relating to Miranda or any subsidiary in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Miranda or any subsidiary by any Person that informs Miranda or such subsidiary that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, or any amendments thereto. Such notice shall include a copy of any written proposal and if the proposal is not in written form, a description of the material terms and conditions of any proposal, the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry or contact and, in all cases, provide such details of the proposal, inquiry, contact, discussions or negotiations as Belden may reasonably request. Miranda shall keep Belden informed of the status, including any change to any of the terms, of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and will respond promptly to all inquiries by Belden with respect thereto.

- 24 -

(e)

Notwithstanding Section 4.6(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, following the receipt by Miranda of a written Acquisition Proposal (including an amendment, change or modification to an Acquisition Proposal made prior to the date hereof) that was not solicited after the date hereof in contravention of Sections 4.6(a) through 4.6(c) and did not otherwise involve any contravention of Sections 4.6(a) through 4.6(c), then the Miranda Board may:

(i)

contact the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its representatives for the sole purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and the likelihood of its consummation so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal; and

(ii)

if the Miranda Board determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take the relevant action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Miranda Board:

(A)

provide the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its representatives with access to information regarding Miranda for a period of no more than five Business Days (the “Diligence Period”); and

(B)

engage in discussions and negotiations with respect to the Acquisition Proposal with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its representatives;

provided that (i) Miranda first enters into a confidentiality agreement with such Person, the terms of which are no less favourable in the aggregate to Miranda than the Confidentiality Agreement and includes a standstill provision that restricts such Person from announcing its intention to acquire, or acquiring any securities or assets of Miranda or any subsidiary without the approval of Miranda for a period of not less than one year from the date of such confidentiality agreement (provided that no such confidentiality and standstill agreement shall prevent such Person from making, pursuing or completing an Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Sections 4.6 and 4.7), (ii) Miranda sends a copy of such confidentiality agreement to Belden promptly following its execution and (iii) Belden is promptly provided with a list of, and access to (to the extent not previously provided to Belden), the information provided to such Person; and (iv) as of the end of the Diligence Period, unless such Person has made a Superior Proposal, Miranda shall comply with Section 4.6(b) with respect to such Person.

(f)

Miranda shall ensure that its officers and directors and its subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective officers and directors and any representatives retained by it or its subsidiaries and affiliates in connection herewith are aware of the provisions of this Section 4.6, and it shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 4.6 by its and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ respective officers, directors or representatives.

4.7 Superior Proposal Notice; Right to Match

(a)

Notwithstanding Section 4.6(a), Section 4.6(d) and Section 4.6(e) or any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to the Acquiror’s rights under Section 6.3 and Section 6.5, Miranda may terminate this Agreement and the Miranda Board may accept, approve or recommend, and Miranda may enter into any agreement (in addition to any confidentiality and standstill agreement contemplated by Section 4.6(e)), understanding

- 25 -

or arrangement in respect of, an Acquisition Proposal (including in each case an amendment, change or modification to an Acquisition Proposal made prior to the date hereof), and the Miranda Board may withdraw, modify or qualify its approval or recommendation of the Offer and recommend or approve such Acquisition Proposal (including in each case an amendment, change or modification to an Acquisition Proposal made prior to the date hereof), at any time prior to the Expiry Time, if and only if:

(i)

it has complied with its obligations under Sections 4.6 and 4.7 including providing Belden with a copy of the Acquisition Proposal document (and, if applicable, a copy of any proposed agreement relating to such Acquisition Proposal), as well as a written notice from the Miranda Board regarding the value in financial terms that the Miranda Board determined upon advice of its financial advisors should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under such Acquisition Proposal;

(ii)

the Miranda Board has determined, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take the relevant action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties;

(iii)

Miranda has delivered written notice to Belden of the determination of the Miranda Board that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and of the intention of the Miranda Board to approve or recommend such Superior Proposal and/or of Miranda to enter into an agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, together with a copy of such agreement (the “Superior Proposal Notice”);

(iv)

at least five Business Days have elapsed since the later of the (A) date the Superior Proposal Notice was received by Belden, and (B) date Belden received a copy of such Acquisition Proposal, which five Business Day period is referred to herein as the “Right to Match Period”;

(v)

if Belden and the Acquiror have offered to amend the terms of the Offer and this Agreement during the Right to Match Period pursuant to Section 4.7(b), the Miranda Board has determined, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Offer as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Right to Match Period; and

(vi)

Miranda has paid the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 6.5(a)(ii) and Miranda terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.3(j).

(b)

During the Right to Match Period, Belden and the Acquiror will have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of the Offer and this Agreement. The Miranda Board will review any such offer by Belden and the Acquiror to amend the terms of the Offer and this Agreement in order to determine, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether Belden’s and the Acquiror’s offer to amend the Offer and this Agreement, upon its acceptance, would result in the applicable Acquisition Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Offer as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Right to Match Period. If the Miranda Board determines and advises Belden in writing that the applicable Acquisition Proposal would cease to be a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Offer as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Right to Match Period, Belden and the Acquiror will amend the terms of the Offer and Miranda, Belden and the Acquiror shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement reflecting the offer by Belden and the Acquiror to amend the terms of the Offer and this Agreement.

- 26 -

(c)

The Miranda Board will promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Offer by press release after (i) any Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or made and the Miranda Board determines it is not a Superior Proposal or (ii) the Miranda Board determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of the Offer pursuant to Section 4.7(b) would result in an Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal when assessed against the Offer as it is proposed to be amended as at the termination of the Right to Match Period, and Belden and the Acquiror have so amended the terms of the Offer in accordance with Section 4.7(b). Belden and the Acquiror will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release.

(d)

Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration to be received by the Miranda Shareholders will constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 4.7(b), and Belden shall be afforded a new Right to Match Period in respect of such new Acquisition Proposal.

(e)

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Miranda Board from responding as required by applicable Laws (including through a directors’ circular) to an Acquisition Proposal in a manner consistent with this Section 4.7(e) or from calling and holding in a manner consistent with this Section 4.7(e) a meeting of Miranda Shareholders requisitioned by Miranda Shareholders pursuant to the QBCA or ordered to be held by a court pursuant to the QBCA. Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Miranda Board from making any disclosure to the Miranda Shareholders if the Miranda Board, acting in good faith and upon the advice of outside legal counsel, shall have first determined that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Miranda Board or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Laws; provided that, notwithstanding that the Miranda Board may otherwise be permitted to respond to an Acquisition Proposal, call or hold such shareholder meeting or make such disclosure, neither the Miranda Board nor any committee thereof shall be permitted to withdraw, modify, change or qualify its approval or recommendation of the Offer in any manner adverse to Belden or the Acquiror or make other disclosure inconsistent with such approval or recommendation, other than in accordance with Section 4.7(a).

(f)

Any information provided by Miranda to Belden or the Acquiror pursuant to Section 4.7 or pursuant to Section 4.6 shall constitute “Information” under Section 4.8. Until termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and until payment of the Termination Fee contemplated by Section 6.5, as applicable, Miranda shall continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

4.8 Access to Information

(a)

Subject to this Section 4.8(a) and applicable Laws, upon reasonable notice, and strictly for purposes of business integration, Miranda shall (and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to) afford to Belden and the Acquiror and their officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives and advisors (including, for greater certainty, any investment banker, lawyer or accountant) (“Representatives”) access, during normal business hours from the date hereof and until the earlier of the Expiry Time or the termination of this Agreement, to Miranda’s and its subsidiaries’ properties, books, contracts and records as well as to its management personnel (and to its property

- 27 -

managers and their personnel, who shall be instructed to co-operate), and, during such period, Miranda shall (and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and property managers to) furnish promptly to the other Party all information concerning it and its subsidiaries’ businesses, properties and personnel as Belden may reasonably request.

(b)

The parties acknowledge that the information provided to them under Section 4.8(a) above will be non-public and/or proprietary in nature (the “Information”) and will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. For greater certainty, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement, provided that the obligations of Belden under the Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of Belden and the Acquiror under Section 4.8(a) shall terminate upon the successful completion of the Offer notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained therein or herein.

4.9 Indemnification; Insurance

(a)

All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favour of any past or present director or officer of Miranda or any of its subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Persons”) as provided in the constating documents of Miranda or any of its subsidiaries or any indemnification contract or agreement between such Indemnified Person and Miranda or any of its subsidiaries, in each case, that is disclosed in the Miranda Disclosure Letter shall survive the Effective Time and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Person.

(b)

Without limiting the right of Miranda to do so prior to the Effective Time, Belden and the Acquiror hereby agree to cause Miranda to secure directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage by not later than the Effective Time from a reputable and financially sound insurance carrier and containing terms and conditions no less advantageous to the directors and officers of Miranda or any of its subsidiaries than those contained in Miranda’s policy in effect on the date hereof for the current and former directors and officers of Miranda and its subsidiaries on a six year “trailing” (or “run-off”) basis with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that Belden and the Acquiror will not be required, in order to maintain or cause to be maintained such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, to pay an annual premium in excess of 300% of the cost of the existing policy as disclosed in writing to Belden before the date of this Agreement; and provided further that, if equivalent coverage cannot be obtained or can only be obtained by paying an annual premium in excess of 300% of such amount, Belden and the Acquiror shall only be required to obtain or cause to be obtained as much coverage as can be obtained by paying an annual premium equal to 300% of such amount. If for any reason such trailing policy is not available, then Belden and the Acquiror agree that for the entire period from the Effective Time until six years after the Effective Time, Belden and the Acquiror will cause Miranda and its subsidiaries or any successor to Miranda and its subsidiaries to maintain Miranda’s and its subsidiaries’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or equivalent insurance, in either case from a reputable and financially sound insurance carrier and containing terms and conditions no less advantageous to the directors and officers of Miranda and its subsidiaries (with respect to their acting as directors or officers thereof) than those contained in the policy in effect on the date hereof, for all current and former directors and officers of Miranda and its subsidiaries covering claims made prior to or within six years after the Effective Time.

- 28 -

(c)

If Miranda, its subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns shall (i) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind-up into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of any such entity shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.9.

(d)

The provisions of this Section 4.9 are (i) intended for the benefit of the directors, officers and employees of Miranda and its subsidiaries and all present and former directors and officers of Miranda and its subsidiaries, as and to the extent applicable in accordance with their terms, and shall be enforceable by each of such persons and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives (collectively, the “Third Party Beneficiaries”) and Miranda shall hold the rights and benefits of this Section 4.9 in trust for and on behalf of the Third Party Beneficiaries and Miranda hereby accepts such trust and agrees to hold the benefit of and enforce performance of such covenants on behalf of the Third Party Beneficiaries, and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that the Third Party Beneficiaries may have by contract or otherwise. Furthermore, this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of the Effective Time

4.10 No Personal Liability

No director or officer of Belden or the Acquiror shall have any personal liability whatsoever to Miranda or any third party beneficiary under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection with the Contemplated Transactions on behalf of Belden or the Acquiror. No director or officer of Miranda shall have any personal liability whatsoever to Belden or the Acquiror under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection with the Contemplated Transactions on behalf of Miranda, other than any personal liability which might arise from a failure to comply with the Lock-Up Agreements (to the extent such director or officer is a party thereto).

4.11 Anti-Dilution

For greater certainty, for the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Miranda Shares” shall include all shares or other securities into which Miranda Shares may be, after the date hereof, converted into, exchanged for or otherwise changed into pursuant to any liquidation, dissolution, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, amalgamation, amendment to the Miranda’s articles, extraordinary dividend, or other business combination involving Miranda prior to the Expiry Time, and shall also include any and all dividends of cash, securities or other property paid on such Miranda Shares on or after the date hereof.

4.12 Outstanding Stock Options

(a)

The Miranda Board shall resolve (i) to accelerate the vesting of all Options, (ii) to permit the exercise, on a cashless basis, of all Options conditional upon, and immediately prior to, Take-Up, and (iii) to accelerate the expiry date for all unexercised Options so that any unexercised Options shall expire upon Take-Up, in each case with such resolutions being effective prior to the initial scheduled Expiry Date of the Offer.

(b)

Belden and the Acquiror acknowledge and agree that (i) holders of Options will be permitted to tender Miranda Shares issuable upon the exercise thereof to the Offer and for such purpose to exercise their Options (on a cashless basis) and in a manner acceptable to Belden, acting reasonably, conditional upon, and immediately prior to, Take-Up, and (ii) all Miranda Shares that are to be issued pursuant to any such conditional exercise shall be accepted as validly tendered under the Offer, provided that the holders of such Options

- 29 -

otherwise validly accept the Offer in accordance with its terms with respect to such Miranda Shares. On the conditional exercise of Options, provided that the Miranda Shares acquired thereunder are tendered to the Offer, the holder shall direct the Acquiror in writing (in a form acceptable to the Acquiror, acting reasonably) to pay to Miranda from the proceeds of sale of such Miranda Shares otherwise payable to the Option holder for remittance to the relevant tax authority an amount (the “Withholding Amount”) sufficient to satisfy all applicable income tax and other source deductions arising on the exercise of the Options. The Withholding Amount shall be determined by Miranda provided that Miranda shall consult with Belden and the Acquiror with respect to the manner in which Withholding Amounts are to be determined.

(c)

The foregoing treatment of Options shall be described in the Miranda Circular.

4.13 SARs

Miranda will cause all unexercised SARs to become immediately exercisable at the exercise price established by the Miranda Board at the time of their grant. Miranda will allow the remittance for cancellation of any and all “in-the-money” SARs that are outstanding under the SAR Plan, by those holders who have “in-the-money” SARs and who choose to do so in accordance with paragraph 2 of the SAR Plan, in consideration for a cash payment equal to the difference between the consideration per Miranda Share payable under the Offer and the exercise price established by the Miranda Board at the time of their grant, conditional upon, and immediately prior to, Take-Up. Miranda agrees to terminate the SAR Plan effective as of the Expiry Time, conditional upon, and immediately prior to, Take-Up.

4.14 DSUs and RSUs

Miranda will take all necessary steps under the 2010 RSU Plan and the Miranda Long Term Incentive Plan and make all amendments to such plans as are necessary to cause all Miranda RSUs and Miranda DSUs to be cancelled or paid out by Miranda to participants under the 2010 RSU Plan and the Miranda Long Term Incentive Plan at a price determined in accordance with such plans and shall cancel the 2010 RSU Plan and the Miranda Long Term Incentive Plan effective as of the Expiry Time, the whole conditional upon, and immediately prior to, Take-Up.

4.15 Termination of the Offer

Upon any exercise of termination rights pursuant to Section 6.3, the Acquiror shall, subject to applicable Laws, terminate and withdraw the Offer or take actions to the same effect.

4.16 Required Securities Laws Approvals

Belden and the Acquiror will promptly take such action, including obtaining any exemption orders, consents or approvals, or filing any such documents as may be required under applicable Securities Laws, to permit the Acquiror to make the Offer and perform each of its obligations hereunder, and Miranda shall co-operate in good faith in connection with any such action by Belden and the Acquiror.

ARTICLE 5

NOTICE AND CURE

5.1 Notice and Cure Provisions

Belden and the Acquiror on one hand and Miranda on the other hand will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the date on which the Expiry Time occurs, of any event or state of facts of which it is aware which occurrence or failure would, or would be reasonably likely to:

- 30 -

(a)

cause any of its representations or warranties contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate on the date hereof or on the date on which the Expiry Time occurs (without giving effect to, applying or taking into consideration any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification already contained within such representation or warranty); or

(b)

result in the failure in any material respect to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it on or prior to the date on which the Expiry Time occurs.

ARTICLE 6

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

6.1 Amendment

This Agreement may, at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiry Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the parties hereto.

6.2 Understanding Regarding Proposed Amendments

The parties agree that if Belden proposes any amendment or amendments to this Agreement or to the Offer, or proposes an alternative transaction (such as a plan of arrangement or amalgamation) whereby Belden or a subsidiary of Belden would effectively acquire all of the Miranda Shares within approximately the same time periods and on economic terms (including at least the same amount and form of consideration per Miranda Share) and other terms and conditions (including, without limitation, tax treatment) and having consequences to Miranda and the Miranda Shareholders that, in the opinion of Miranda, acting reasonably, are equivalent to or better than those contemplated by this Agreement (an “Alternative Transaction”), Miranda will support undertaking and completion of such Alternative Transaction in the same manner as the Offer and shall otherwise fulfill its covenants contained in this Agreement in respect of such Alternative Transaction, provided any such Alternative Transaction shall not be subject to a financing condition, and further provided that it can be effected subject to applicable Laws and the rights of the Miranda Shareholders. In the event of any proposed Alternative Transaction, the references in this Agreement to the Offer shall be deemed to be changed to “Alternative Transaction” with necessary modifications and all terms, covenants, representations and warranties of this Agreement (with the adjustments necessary to reflect the Alternative Transaction) shall be and shall be deemed to have been made in the context of the Alternative Transaction and, if requested by Belden, Miranda shall execute and deliver either an arrangement agreement in a customary form and consistent with the commercial terms of this Agreement or such other agreement giving effect to and evidencing such amendment as may be reasonably required as a result of such modification and adjustments.

6.3 Termination

This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a)

by mutual written consent of Belden, the Acquiror and Miranda;

(b)

by Miranda, if the Acquiror does not mail the Offer by the Latest Mailing Time (other than as a result of a default or breach by Miranda of a material covenant or obligation hereunder) or if the Offer (or any amendment thereto other than as permitted hereunder or as has been mutually agreed by the parties) does not conform in all material respects with the description of the Offer in this Agreement and such non-conformity is not cured within five Business Days from the date of receipt by Belden of written notice to that effect from Miranda;

- 31 -

(c)

by the Acquiror on or after the Latest Mailing Time, if any condition to making the Offer for the Acquiror’s benefit is not satisfied or waived by such date;

(d)

by the Acquiror if the Minimum Tender Condition or any other condition of the Offer shall not be satisfied or waived at the Expiry Time of the Offer, as such Expiry Time may be extended by the Acquiror in its sole discretion or as requested pursuant hereto, and the Acquiror shall not elect to waive such condition;

(e)

by Miranda or the Acquiror, if the Acquiror does not take up and pay for the Miranda Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer by the Outside Date, provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause shall not be available to the Party seeking to terminate if any action of such Party or its affiliates, or any failure of such Party or its affiliates to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement required to be performed by it, shall have resulted in a condition contained in Schedule A not having been satisfied prior to the Outside Date;

(f)

by Miranda or the Acquiror, if:

(i)

any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling enjoining or otherwise permanently prohibiting or restraining any of the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction and such order, decree or ruling has become final and non-appealable, provided that if the Acquiror is seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.3(f), it shall have used all commercially reasonable efforts to remove such order, decree, ruling or injunction; or

(ii)

any litigation or other proceeding is pending or has been threatened to be instituted by any Person or Governmental Entity, which, in the good faith judgment of the Acquiror, could reasonably be expected to result in a decision, order, decree or ruling which enjoins, prohibits, grants damages in a material amount in respect of, or materially impairs the benefits of, any Contemplated Transactions;

(g)

by Miranda, if Belden or the Acquiror shall have breached, or failed to comply with, any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, or if any representation or warranty of Belden or the Acquiror contained in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate in any material respect provided that: (A) Belden and the Acquiror shall be provided with prompt written notice of such breach, non-compliance or inaccuracy and shall have 10 Business Days from receipt of such notice to cure such breach, non-compliance or inaccuracy; and (B) the collective effect of all such breaches, non-compliance and/or inaccuracies would prevent the completion of the Offer by the Outside Date;

(h)

by the Acquiror, if (i) Miranda or any of its Representatives breached any covenant or obligation in Section 4.6 or Section 4.7, or (ii) Miranda shall have breached, or failed to comply with, any of its other covenants or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, or if any representation or warranty of Miranda contained in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate in any material respect; provided that, in the case of clause (ii) above only: (A) Miranda shall be provided with prompt written notice of such breach, non-compliance or inaccuracy and shall have 10 Business Days from

- 32 -

receipt of such notice to cure such breach, non-compliance or inaccuracy; and (B) the collective effect of all such breaches, non-compliance and/or inaccuracies shall have a Material Adverse Effect on Miranda or otherwise prevent the completion of the Offer by the Outside Date;

(i)

by the Acquiror, if:

(i)

the Miranda Board fails to promptly publicly reaffirm its approval of, and recommend, the Offer in a circumstance contemplated by Section 4.7;

(ii)

the Miranda Board or any committee thereof withdraws, modifies, changes or qualifies its approval or recommendation of the Offer in any manner adverse to Belden or the Acquiror or remains neutral beyond the ten calendar day period set out in Section 4.6(a)(iv) in respect of an Acquisition Proposal;

(iii)

the Miranda Board or any committee thereof recommends or approves, or publicly proposes to recommend or approve, an Acquisition Proposal; or

(iv)

Miranda or the Miranda Board fails to take any action required under Section 2.6 with respect to the Shareholder Rights Plan; and

(j)

by Miranda in order to enter into an agreement with any Person in respect of a Superior Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 4.6(e)), provided that Miranda shall have previously or concurrently paid the Termination Fee specified in Section 6.5(a)(ii).

6.4 Effect of Termination

For greater certainty, the parties agree that the compensation or damages to be received pursuant to Section 6.5 of this Agreement is the sole remedy in compensation or damages of the Party receiving such payment; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.4, and no payment of an amount under Section 6.5 of this Agreement, shall relieve or have the effect of relieving any Party in any way from liability for damages incurred or suffered by a Party as a result of an intentional breach of this Agreement, including the intentional making of a misrepresentation in this Agreement (including the Schedules hereto). Nothing herein shall preclude a Party from seeking injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any such covenants or agreements, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith.

6.5 Termination Fee

(a)

If:

(i)

the Acquiror shall exercise its termination rights pursuant to Section 6.3(h)(i) or Section 6.3(i);

(ii)

Miranda shall exercise its termination rights pursuant to Section 6.3(j); or

(iii)

in a case where neither (i) nor (ii) above is applicable, if the Acquiror shall exercise its termination rights pursuant to Section 6.3(d) or Section 6.3(e) and:

(A)

following the date hereof and prior to the date on which this Agreement is terminated, an Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced or made, or any Person has publicly announced an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal; and

- 33 -

(B)

either

(1)

an Acquisition Proposal is completed within 12 months following the date of this Agreement, in which case the Termination Fee shall be paid to the Acquiror concurrently with the completion of such Acquisition Proposal, or

(2)

an agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality or standstill agreement contemplated by Section 4.6(e)) is entered into by Miranda within 12 months following the date of this Agreement and such Acquisition Proposal is completed at any time after the date of this Agreement, in which case the Termination Fee shall be paid to the Acquiror concurrently with the completion of such Acquisition Proposal,

then in any such case Miranda shall pay to Belden a termination fee of $19,154,790 (the “Termination Fee”) in immediately available funds to an account designated by Belden. Such payment shall be due (i) in the case of the exercise of termination rights specified in Section 6.5(a)(i) immediately upon termination and, in the case of termination by Miranda pursuant to Section 6.5(a)(ii), as a condition to termination, (ii) in the case of the exercise of the termination rights specified in Section 6.5(a)(iii)(B)(1) or 6.5(a)(iii)(B)(2), concurrently with the completion of such Acquisition Proposal. Under no circumstances shall Miranda be obligated to make more than one payment pursuant to this Section 6.5.

For the purposes of Section 6.5(a)(iii), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall be read such that all references to “20% or more” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal are references to “50.1% or more”.

(b)

Unless the Termination Fee is paid, the Acquiror shall be entitled to an expense reimbursement payment of $1,000,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement”) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.3(h)(ii), in which case the Expense Reimbursement will be paid to the Acquiror (or an assignee) promptly upon, and in any event within two Business Days of, such termination, except in a circumstance where Miranda is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.3(g), in which event no Expense Reimbursement will be payable hereunder.

(c)

Any obligation to make a payment as a result of this Section 6.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.6 Liquidated Damages

Belden and the Acquiror acknowledge that, in the circumstances in which a Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 6.5, such Termination Fee to be paid represents payment of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which Belden and the Acquiror will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and the resultant termination of this Agreement and is not a penalty. Miranda irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. Belden and the Acquiror agree that the payment of the amount pursuant to Section 6.5 is the sole and exclusive remedy of Belden and the Acquiror in respect of the events giving rise to the payment of the Termination Fee.

- 34 -

6.7 Remedies

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that an award of money damages would be inadequate for any breach of this Agreement by any Party or its representatives and any such breach would cause the non-breaching Party irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by one of the parties, the non-breaching Party will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to such equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at Law or equity to each of the parties.

(“Miranda MTI”), Miranda Technologies (GVD) LLC (“Miranda GVD”), Miranda Technologies Ltd. (“Miranda Technologies”), Miranda Technologies Singapore Pte. Ltd.

Litigation, etc. Except as set forth in the Miranda Disclosure Letter or Publicly Disclosed by Miranda prior to the date hereof, there is no claim, action, inquiry, suit, hearing, arbitration, investigation or other proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of Miranda, threatened against or relating to Miranda or any of its subsidiaries or affecting any of their properties or assets before any Governmental Entity, nor is Miranda subject to any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree, that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on Miranda or that is reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Offer.

Disclosure Record. Miranda has filed all documents or information required to be filed by it under applicable Securities Laws with the applicable securities regulatory authorities since January 1, 2011. After giving effect to all subsequent filings in relation to matters covered in earlier filings, the public filings Publicly Disclosed by Miranda under the provisions of applicable Securities Laws (i) do not contain any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (ii) as of their respective dates (and as of the dates of any amendments thereto), complied as to both form and content in all material respects with the requirements of applicable Securities Laws or were amended on a timely basis to correct deficiencies identified by securities commissions or similar securities regulatory authorities. Miranda has not filed any confidential material change report with any securities regulatory authority that at the date hereof remains confidential.

Related Party Transactions.

Except as disclosed in the Miranda Disclosure Letter or as Publicly Disclosed by Miranda, since January 1, 2011, there has been no claim, and there is not presently outstanding any claim by any past or present holder of securities against Miranda, or any past or present directors of Miranda in connection with any Related Party Transactions and to the knowledge of Miranda there are no facts which would substantiate any such claims.

10.	Tax Residency. Miranda is not a non-resident of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act.

- 4 -

11.

Taxes. Miranda and each of its subsidiaries has filed all material Tax Returns required to be filed by it on or before the date of this Agreement, and except as set forth in the Miranda Disclosure Letter, those Tax Returns were complete and correct in all material respects and Miranda and each of its subsidiaries has duly and timely paid all material Taxes (including instalments on account of Taxes for the current year) which are due and payable by it on or before the date hereof and Miranda has provided adequate accruals in accordance with IFRS and all other applicable accounting rules and principles, in the most recently published financial statements of Miranda for any Taxes for the period covered by such financial statements that have not been paid whether or not shown as being due on any Tax Returns. Except as set forth in the Miranda Disclosure Letter, since such publication date, no material liability in respect of Taxes not reflected in such statements or otherwise provided for has been assessed, proposed to be assessed, incurred or accrued, other than in the ordinary course of business. Miranda and each of its subsidiaries has duly and timely withheld in respect of any amount paid or credited by it to or for the account or benefit of any Person, the amount of all material Taxes and other deductions required under any applicable Law to be withheld from any such amount and has duly and timely remitted such withheld amounts to the appropriate Governmental Entity. Except as disclosed or reflected in the Miranda Disclosure Letter, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or claims threatened against Miranda or any of its subsidiaries in respect of Taxes, or any matters under discussion, audit or appeal with any Governmental Entity relating to Taxes asserted by any such authority. Except as disclosed or reflected in the Miranda Disclosure Letter, none of Miranda or its subsidiaries has provided to any Governmental Entity a waiver or extension of time for the assessment of Taxes. To the knowledge of Miranda, there has not been an acquisition of control (within the meaning of the Tax Act) of Miranda at any time subsequent to the end of the oldest taxation year of Miranda for which the normal reassessment period under the Tax Act has yet to expire.

12.	Compliance.

(a)

Miranda has at all times complied with its articles, by-laws and other constating documents, all leases and other Material Contracts, all mortgages and other credit facilities, all insurance policies and all applicable Laws, except where any failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Miranda. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Miranda and each of its subsidiaries have complied with, and are not in violation of, any, applicable Laws, and have not taken any action which is otherwise inconsistent with or prohibited by substantive provisions of the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (Canada) and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, other than non-compliance or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Miranda, or which would not materially impair the ability of Miranda to perform its obligations hereunder or reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Offer, any Compulsory Acquisition or any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction. Neither Miranda nor any of its subsidiaries has received any written notices or other correspondence from any Governmental Entity regarding any circumstances that have existed or currently exist that would lead to a loss, suspension or modification of, or a refusal to issue any permits that would reasonably be expected to restrict, curtail, limit or adversely affect the ability of Miranda or any of its subsidiaries to operate their respective businesses in a manner that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Miranda.

(b)

Miranda has not paid or offered to pay any Consideration to a Governmental Official, directly or indirectly, if such offer or payment of Consideration was made with the intent of obtaining or retaining business and with corrupt intent. The preceding sentence will not apply with respect to modest gifts or reasonable meals or entertainment if given only to build general goodwill and if not given with corrupt intent.

- 5 -

(c)

To the knowledge of Miranda, Miranda’s Books and Records accurately and fairly reflect business transactions and Miranda has internal accounting controls that provide reasonable assurances that such transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and are properly recorded.

13.

Authorizations. Miranda and each of its subsidiaries possess all Authorizations necessary to properly conduct their respective businesses, except for any such Authorizations, the failure of which to possess would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Miranda, or would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Miranda to perform its obligations hereunder or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Offer, any Compulsory Acquisition or any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction. Each Authorization obtained by Miranda and its subsidiaries is in full force and effect and not subject to any dispute, except for any such dispute that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Miranda to perform its obligations hereunder or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Offer, any Compulsory Acquisition or any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction. Miranda and its subsidiaries are in compliance with each of its Authorizations, except for such non-compliance as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or would not reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Miranda to perform its obligations hereunder or prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Offer, any Compulsory Acquisition or any Subsequent Acquisition Transaction. No event has occurred which, with the giving of notice, lapse of time or both, could constitute a default under, or in respect of, any of such Authorizations.

not acquire or enter into any agreement or option, or any right or privilege (whether pre-emptive, contractual or by Laws) capable of becoming an agreement or option to acquire any securities of Miranda in addition to the Seller’s Securities;

(f)

not vote or cause to be voted any of the Seller’s Securities in respect of any proposed action by Miranda or the Miranda Shareholders or affiliates or any other person or group in a manner which might reasonably be regarded as likely to prevent or delay the successful completion of the Offer or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement; and

(g)

not do indirectly that which it may not do directly in respect of the restrictions on its rights with respect to the Seller’s Securities pursuant to this Article 3.

3.2 Acknowledgement

The Offeror acknowledges and agrees that the Seller is bound hereunder solely in its capacity as a Shareholder and that the provisions hereof shall not be deemed or interpreted to bind the Seller in the Seller’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of Miranda. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any person from fulfilling his fiduciary duties as a director or officer of Miranda and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Seller who is a member of the Miranda Board or an officer of Miranda from engaging, in such Seller’s capacity as a director or officer of Miranda, in discussions or negotiations with a person in response to any bona fide Acquisition Proposal that could result in a Superior Proposal in accordance with the provisions of the Support Agreement.

3.3 Alternative Transaction

If the Offeror concludes after the date of this Agreement that it is necessary or desirable to proceed with an Alternative Transaction in accordance with the provisions of the Support Agreement, then the Seller irrevocably covenants to support the completion of such Alternative Transaction, including, if applicable, by voting the Seller’s Securities in favour of any resolution or resolutions approving such Alternative Transaction. In the event of any proposed Alternative Transaction, the references in this Agreement to the Offer shall be deemed to be changed to “Alternative Transaction” with necessary modifications and all terms, covenants, representations and warranties of this Agreement (with the adjustments necessary to reflect the Alternative Transaction) shall be and shall be deemed to have been made in the context of the Alternative Transaction.

3.4 Belden Guarantee of Performance of the Offeror

Belden hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, and covenants and agrees to be solidarily (jointly and severally) liable with the Offeror, as principal obligor, for the due and punctual performance of each and every obligation of the Offeror under this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4

DEPOSIT AND NON-WITHDRAWAL

4.1 Deposit

The Seller irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to validly deposit or cause to be validly deposited with the depositary under the Offer, together with all duly completed and executed letters of transmittal (as applicable), all of the Seller’s Securities (other than Miranda Shares issuable upon the exercise of Options, provided that if the Seller exercises such Options for Miranda Shares, such Miranda Shares shall be deposited in accordance with Section 4.2), not earlier than two business days, but not later than five business days, after the date of the Offer. In the event the Seller subsequently obtains any additional Miranda Shares, such Miranda Shares shall likewise be deposited, as soon as practicable and in any event prior to the Expiry Time, under the Offer in accordance with its terms.

4.2 Deposit of Options

If applicable, the Seller shall exercise Options for Miranda Shares and/or surrender and cancel such Options (as contemplated in the Support Agreement), and the Seller irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all such Miranda Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall, within one Business Day of issuance, be validly deposited with the depositary under the Offer, together with all duly completed and executed letters of transmittal (as applicable), in accordance with Section 4.12 of the Support Agreement.

4.3 Non-Withdrawal

Subject to Section 4.4 and the provisions of this Agreement, the Seller irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, except with the prior written consent of the Offeror, neither it nor any person or entity on its behalf will withdraw or take any action to withdraw any of the Seller’s Securities deposited under the Offer notwithstanding any statutory rights or other rights under the terms of the Offer or otherwise which it may have unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the taking up of the Seller’s Securities under the Offer.

4.4 Withdrawal of Seller’s Securities

The Seller will be permitted to withdraw the Seller’s Securities deposited under the Offer in order to support or vote in favour of, or tender or deposit the Seller’s Securities to, an Acquisition Proposal if, and only if (a) such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, (b) the Support Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, and (c) Miranda has complied with Sections 4.6 and 4.7 of the Support Agreement.

5.2 Effect of Termination

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 5.1, there shall be no liability or further obligation on the part of any party hereto; provided that nothing in this Section 5.2 shall release the parties to this Agreement of liability for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination hereof. Upon valid termination of this Agreement by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.1(c), Seller shall be entitled to withdraw any of the Seller’s Securities tendered to the Offer.

Section 6.5, the Offeror may assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an affiliate, and the shareholder or shareholders of the Offeror may assign all or part of their shares in the Offeror to affiliates of any of them provided that if such assignment takes place, the Offeror shall continue to be liable to the Seller for any default in performance by the assignee.

The Seller recognizes and acknowledges that this Agreement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated in the Offer and that the Offeror would not contemplate making the

Offer unless this Agreement was executed, and that a breach by the Seller of any covenants or other commitments or obligations contained in the Agreement will cause the Offeror to sustain injury for which it would not have an adequate remedy at Law for money damages.
