Each unexercised Vested MKS Option issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be immediately cancelled.

(b)

In accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, notwithstanding any contingent vesting provisions to which a MKS RSU might otherwise have been subject, and without any further action on behalf of any holder of such MKS RSU and without any payment except as provided in the Plan of Arrangement, at the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement, each outstanding, unvested MKS RSU shall accelerate in accordance with the terms of the MKS RSU Plan and MKS shall, subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 2.12, cause the trustee of the trust under the MKS RSU Plan to deliver to

- 22 -

each holder of such an outstanding MKS RSU one MKS Common Share from the trust under the MKS RSU Plan in settlement of each such MKS RSU.

(c)

In accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, at the time specified therein, each Unvested MKS Option, without any further action on behalf of any holder of such Unvested MKS Option, shall be exchanged for an option (a “Replacement Option”) to purchase from PTC the number of PTC Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number of such shares) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Exchange Ratio by (ii) the number of MKS Shares subject to such Unvested MKS Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of such exchanged Unvested MKS Option shall immediately become a holder of a Replacement Option covering the number of PTC Shares to which such holder is entitled as a result of the exchange, and each such exchanged Unvested MKS Option shall be immediately cancelled. Each such Replacement Option shall provide for an exercise price per PTC Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) in United States dollars equal to (A) in respect of Unvested MKS Options denominated in Canadian dollars: (i) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per MKS Common Share of such Unvested MKS Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, divided by (ii) the Currency Exchange Rate; and (B) in respect of Unvested MKS Options denominated in U.S. dollars: the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per MKS Common Share of such Unvested MKS Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, and, except as otherwise set out in the Plan of Arrangement, each Replacement Option shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable MKS Stock Option Plan and any stock option agreement pursuant to which such MKS Option was granted (including, but not limited to, the term to expiry, conditions to and manner of exercising and vesting schedule), with any adjustments deemed to be made thereto as are necessary to ensure consistency with the provisions of the Plan of Arrangement.

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Subsection 2.9(c),

(i)

with respect to any Unvested MKS Option, if the PTC board of directors determines in good faith that the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the PTC Shares subject to the Replacement Option immediately after the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such PTC Shares pursuant to the Replacement Option (such excess, referred to as the “Post-Exchange Option Value”) would otherwise exceed the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the MKS Shares subject to such MKS Option immediately before the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such MKS Shares pursuant to such MKS Option (such excess, referred to as the “Pre-Exchange Option Value”), the previous provisions in this Subsection 2.9(c) shall be modified, but only to the extent necessary and in a manner that does not otherwise adversely affect the holder of the Replacement Option, so that the Post-Exchange Option Value does not exceed the Pre-Exchange Option Value and provided that the Post-

- 23 -

Exchange Option Value will not be less than the Pre-Exchange Option Value; and

(ii)

with respect only to an Unvested MKS Option that is held by a resident of the United States, the exercise price and the number of PTC Shares subject to a Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the IRC; provided, further, that in the case of any such Unvested MKS Option which was an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the IRC) immediately prior to the Effective Time, the exercise price, the number of PTC Shares and the terms and conditions of the Replacement Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the IRC.

(d)

MKS shall take all necessary actions to provide the holders of MKS Options and MKS RSUs with any applicable notice required by the MKS Stock Option Plans and/or the MKS RSU Plan.

(e)

Prior to the Effective Time, the MKS Board shall take all necessary action required by, and in accordance with, the MKS Stock Option Plans and the MKS RSU Plan in order to give effect to Subsections 2.9(a), 2.9(b), 2.9(c) and 2.9(d).

(f)

MKS shall not accelerate the vesting of any Unvested MKS Options.

(g)

PTC, Acquireco and MKS each acknowledge and agree that MKS will forego any deduction under the Tax Act with respect to the cash payment to be made by MKS to holders of Vested MKS Options as described in Section 2.9(a) of this Agreement and pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement. To effect the foregoing, the Parties will cause MKS to timely comply with the requirements described in subsection 110(1.1) of the Tax Act including, delivering written notice of such election to each such holder in accordance with the requirements set out in the Tax Act.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MKS

3.1

Representations and Warranties

MKS hereby represents and warrants to PTC, and acknowledges that PTC is relying upon such representations and warranties in connection with the entering into of this Agreement that:

(a)

Organization and Qualification. MKS is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the OBCA and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business as now owned and conducted. MKS is duly qualified to carry on business and is in good standing (except in any jurisdiction that does not recognize that concept) in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would

- 26 -

not, individually or in the aggregate, have a MKS Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the constating documents of MKS as at July 27, 2009 have been delivered or made available to PTC, and except as contemplated by this Agreement, MKS has not taken any action to amend or supersede such documents. MKS has obtained and is in compliance with all material Permits required to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except where the failure to obtain, or be in compliance in all material respects with, any such Permit would not have a MKS Material Adverse Effect.

(b)

Authority Relative to this Agreement. MKS has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by MKS and the consummation by MKS of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Arrangement pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement but excluding the MKS Circular and related documents) have been duly authorized by the MKS Board and no other corporate proceedings on the part of MKS are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Arrangement pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement) other than MKS Common Shareholder Approval. The MKS Board has determined unanimously, after receiving financial and legal advice and following the receipt and review of a unanimous recommendation from the MKS Special Committee, that the Plan of Arrangement is fair to the MKS Common Shareholders and it is in the best interests of MKS to enter into this Agreement providing for the Arrangement and has resolved unanimously to recommend that the MKS Common Shareholders vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. As of the date hereof, each of the directors and executive officers of MKS has advised that he or she intends to vote all MKS Common Shares held by him or her, or over which he or she exercises control, directly or indirectly (including any MKS Common Shares issued upon the exercise of any MKS Options) in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by MKS and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of MKS, enforceable against MKS in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other applicable Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to the qualification that equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)

Fairness Opinion. The MKS Board has received the oral opinion (to be followed by a written opinion) of Mooreland Partners LLC to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, subject to the assumptions and limitations set out therein, the Consideration to be received by MKS Common Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view to the MKS Common Shareholders.

(d)

No Conflict; Required Filings and Consent. The execution and delivery by MKS of this Agreement and the performance by it of its obligations hereunder (including the completion of the Arrangement pursuant to the Plan of

- 27 -

Arrangement) will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the constating documents of MKS or those of any of the MKS Subsidiaries and will not: (a) violate, conflict with or result in a breach, termination or cancellation of (with or without notice or lapse of time or both): (i) any Contract, indenture, deed of trust, mortgage, bond, instrument, Authorization or Permit to which MKS or any of the MKS Subsidiaries is a party or by which MKS or any of the MKS Subsidiaries is bound; or (ii) subject to the government filings and other matters set forth in this Subsection 3.1(d), any Law applicable to MKS or any of the MKS Subsidiaries; (b) require any notice or give rise to any right of termination, or the acceleration of any indebtedness, under any such Contract, indenture, Authorization, deed of trust, mortgage, bond, instrument or Permit; or (c) give rise to any rights of first refusal or rights of first offer, trigger any change in control or influence provisions or payments (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, change of control, retention, bonus or otherwise) or any restriction or limitation under any such Contract, indenture, Authorization, deed of trust, mortgage, bond, instrument or Permit, or result in the imposition of any Lien upon any of MKS’s assets or the assets of any of the MKS Subsidiaries, other than any such violation, conflict, breach, termination, cancellation, notice, right, acceleration, trigger, restriction, limitation or imposition that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a MKS Material Adverse Effect. Other than the Interim Order, the Final Order, the filing of the Articles of Arrangement, compliance with applicable Securities Laws and the rules and policies of the TSX, and the Regulatory Approvals (including the German Competition Act Approval), no Authorization of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity is necessary on the part of MKS for the performance by MKS of its obligations hereunder (including the completion of the Arrangement pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement) or for the completion of the Arrangement not to cause or result in any loss of any material rights or assets or any material interest therein held by MKS or any of the MKS Subsidiaries in any material properties or assets, except for such Authorizations, and filings as to which the failure to obtain or make would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or delay consummation of the Arrangement.

Nothing in this Subsection 3.1((l)(iv) shall be construed as a representation or warranty as to the non-infringement of third party Intellectual Property Rights (which subject matter is addressed in Subsection 3.1(l)(iii)).

(v)

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by MKS and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, in any material respect, impair the rights of MKS to use, practice, operate under, license, sublicense, dispose of, or bring suit for infringement of any of the MKS Owned IP or any MKS Licensed Intellectual Property Rights under the terms of the applicable MKS In-Licenses to substantially the same extent, and under substantially similar terms and conditions as MKS and the MKS Subsidiaries were subject to immediately prior to the date hereof that MKS and each MKS Subsidiary would have been able to had the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not occurred, and without

- 34 -

the payment of any material additional royalties or other material monetary consideration other than ongoing fees, royalties or payments that MKS or any MKS Subsidiary would otherwise have been required to pay; provided, however, that the representations contained in this Subsection 3.1(l)(v) shall not be deemed to extend to any impairment or license restriction imposed by PTC or its affiliates with regard to intellectual property rights owned, controlled or exploited by PTC or its affiliates.

(vii)

Other than in respect of field deliverables or extensions, neither MKS nor any MKS Subsidiary has disclosed the source code for those components of the Software Products that are owned by MKS or any of the MKS Subsidiaries to any Person (other than to employees or contractors in the ordinary course of business and subject to commercially appropriate confidentiality restrictions, and to PTC or its consultants pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement), except to escrow agents and except pursuant to the agreements listed in Schedule 3.1(l)(vii) to the MKS Disclosure Letter, and MKS and the MKS Subsidiaries have taken commercially reasonable measures to prevent disclosure of such source code.

MKS has used industry standard measures that are intended to avoid the inclusion or introduction into the Software Products of “viruses”, “worms”, “trojan horses”, “time bombs”, “back doors”, and other infections or harmful routines designed to disrupt, disable, harm, distort or otherwise impede in any manner the legitimate operation of such software (collectively, “Malware”). To the knowledge of MKS, the Software Products are free of all Malware.

(xi)

To the knowledge of MKS, no Person has gained unauthorized access to any IT Asset or data stored thereon (including any customer or employee data).

(xii)

MKS and each MKS Subsidiary has taken commercially reasonable steps to establish and preserve the ownership of the MKS Owned IP and the Software Products owned by MKS or by any MKS Subsidiary, including the protection of trade secrets and other confidential information according to prevailing industry practices.

A copy of the form of MKS Employee Confidentiality/IP Agreement is included in Schedule 3.1(l)(xii) to the MKS Disclosure Letter. To the knowledge of MKS, all of such confidentiality agreements are in full force and effect, except where they have expired by their applicable terms. To the knowledge of MKS, there has been no violation of the confidentiality of any material trade secrets or proprietary information comprising material MKS Owned IP. All material MKS Owned IP, all MKS Owned IP that is subject to an out license agreement currently in effect, and all currently supported versions of Software Products owned by MKS or by any MKS Subsidiary, were developed, designed, or programmed solely by employees or contractors of MKS or of any of the MKS Subsidiaries (the “Developers”) during and within the scope of their employment or

- 50 -

(a)

Organization and Qualification. PTC is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business as now owned and conducted. Acquireco is duly incorporated as an unlimited liability company under the laws of Nova Scotia and has full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business as now owned and conducted. Each of PTC and Acquireco has full power and authority to own its respective assets and conduct its respective business as now owned and conducted.

(b)

Authority Relative to this Agreement. Each of PTC and Acquireco has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its respective obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of PTC and Acquireco and the consummation by each of PTC and Acquireco of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by each of PTC and Acquireco and no other proceedings on the part of either PTC or Acquireco are necessary to authorize this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of PTC and Acquireco and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each of PTC and Acquireco, enforceable by MKS against PTC and Acquireco in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other applicable Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to the qualification that equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)

No Conflict. The execution and delivery by PTC and Acquireco of this Agreement and the performance by each of PTC and Acquireco of its respective obligations hereunder and the completion of the Arrangement will not violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the respective constating documents of PTC or Acquireco and will not: (a) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of: (i) any agreement, contract, indenture, deed of trust, mortgage, bond, instrument, Authorization, licence or permit to which PTC or Acquireco is a party or by which PTC or Acquireco is bound where such event would materially impact the ability of PTC or Acquireco to complete the Arrangement, including the Credit Facilities; or (ii) subject to the government filings and other matters set forth in Subsection 4.1(d) below, any Law to which PTC or Acquireco is subject or by which PTC or Acquireco is bound; (b) give rise to any right of termination, or the acceleration of any indebtedness, under any such agreement, contract, indenture, Authorization, deed of trust, mortgage, bond, instrument, licence or permit of PTC or Acquireco where such event would materially impair the ability of PTC or Acquireco to complete the Arrangement.

(d)

Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by PTC and Acquireco of this Agreement and the consummation by PTC and Acquireco of the Arrangement require no consent, approval or authorization of or any action by or in respect of, or filing, recording, registering or publication with, or notification to any Governmental Entity other than (i) any approvals required by the Interim Order; (ii) the Final Order; (iii) filings with the Director under the OBCA; (iv) the Regulatory Approvals (including the German Competition Act

- 51 -

(e)

Financing. PTC has delivered to MKS a copy of an executed confirmation of commitment letter (the “Confirmation Commitment Letter”), dated as of the date hereof, from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Lenders”) addressed to PTC. Pursuant to the Confirmation Commitment Letter and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the Lenders have confirmed the availability under PTC’s existing credit facilities (the “Credit Facilities”) of not less than U.S.$300 million in aggregate principal amount of debt financing to PTC on or before the Effective Date (the “Debt Financing”) for the purpose of funding, through Acquireco, all amounts payable by PTC or Acquireco pursuant to the Arrangement. The obligations to fund the commitments described in the Confirmation Commitment Letter are not subject to any condition other than those set forth therein. PTC has no knowledge of any fact or occurrence that has or would reasonably be expected to (i) make any of the assumptions or statements set forth in the Confirmation Commitment Letter inaccurate, (ii) cause the Confirmation Commitment Letter to be ineffective or the Debt Financing to not be available, or (iii) cause any of the conditions set forth in the Confirmation Commitment Letter not to be satisfied. The Credit Facilities are in full force and effect and PTC is not in default thereunder and no event has occurred, including the execution, delivery and performance by PTC of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default thereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Confirmation Commitment Letter, the funds contemplated to be received pursuant to the Debt Financing, together with available funds and cash equivalents that PTC has on hand, holds or has available to it (collectively, the “Available Cash”), are sufficient to provide that PTC will, at the Effective Time, have sufficient funds to pay the aggregate Consideration under the Arrangement and to make all other payments required to be made or caused to be made by PTC or Acquireco pursuant to the Arrangement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f)

Acquireco. Acquireco is and will, at all times up to the Effective Time, be an indirect, wholly-owned Subsidiary of PTC.

(g)

Litigation. There is no claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration pending or, to the knowledge of PTC, threatened against PTC or any of its Subsidiaries, including, for greater certainty, Acquireco, which, if adversely determined, would materially impair the ability of PTC or Acquireco to complete the Arrangement or impede or materially delay the completion of the Arrangement nor, to the knowledge of PTC, are there any events or circumstances which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such claim, action, suit, proceeding, investigation or arbitration. Neither PTC nor any of its Subsidiaries,

- 52 -

including, for greater certainty, Acquireco, is subject to any outstanding order, writ, injunction or decree which would materially impair the ability of PTC or Acquireco to complete the Arrangement or impede or materially delay the completion of the Arrangement.

(h)

MKS Securities. None of PTC, Acquireco or any of their respective affiliates or any “joint actor” (as defined in MI 61-101) thereof beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over any securities of MKS. None of PTC, Acquireco or any of their respective affiliates or any “joint actor” has any agreement, commitment or understanding with any “related party” of MKS that would constitute a “collateral benefit” under MI 61-101.

4.2

Survival of Representations and Warranties

The representations and warranties of PTC contained in this Agreement shall not survive the completion of the Arrangement and shall expire and be terminated on the earlier of the Effective Time and the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Reorganization”) and (ii) co-operate with PTC and its advisors in order to determine the nature of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganizations that might be undertaken and the manner in which they might most effectively be undertaken; provided, however, that neither MKS nor any MKS Subsidiary need affect any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization which, in the opinion of MKS, acting reasonably, (A) would require the approval of the MKS Common Shareholders, (B) would be prejudicial to MKS, any MKS Subsidiary or the MKS Common Shareholders in any respect, (C) would reduce the Consideration to be received by MKS Common Shareholders or any amount to be received by any holder of MKS Options pursuant to Section 2.9(a) or holder of MKS RSU pursuant to Section 2.9(b), (D) would interfere with the ongoing operations of MKS or any MKS Subsidiary, (E) unless agreed by MKS, would require any filing with, notification to or approval of any Governmental Entity or third party prior to the Effective Date, (F) would require MKS or any MKS Subsidiary to contravene any applicable Laws or its respective organizational documents or any Contract, (G) would result in Taxes being imposed on, or other adverse Tax consequences to, the MKS Common Shareholders generally that is incrementally greater than the Taxes imposed on or other consequences to the MKS Common Shareholders in connection with the completion of the Arrangement in the absence of such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, or (H) would impede or materially delay the completion of the Arrangement. Furthermore, any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not become effective until immediately prior to the Effective Time following the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to completion of the Arrangement. PTC acknowledges and agrees that no Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall be considered in determining whether a representation, warranty or covenant of MKS hereunder has been breached. PTC shall provide written notice to MKS of any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization at least ten (10) business days prior to the Effective Time. Upon receipt of such notice, PTC and MKS shall work co-operatively and use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do all such other acts and things as are necessary to give effect to such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, provided that such cooperation shall not require any director, officer, employee or agent of MKS or any MKS Subsidiary to take any action in any capacity other than as a director, officer, employee or agent of MKS or a MKS Subsidiary. PTC shall indemnify MKS, the MKS Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgements and penalties suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with or as a result of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.

(b)

If the Arrangement is not completed, PTC shall pay the implementation costs of the Pre-Acquisition Reorganization and any direct or indirect costs and liabilities of MKS and the MKS Subsidiaries, including employment costs, Taxes and liabilities as well as any costs, taxes and liabilities that may be incurred to unwind any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization (including actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses for filing fees and external counsel).

In connection with the completion of the Plan of Arrangement and as set forth in the Plan of Arrangement, at or before the Effective Time, MKS will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Depositary the aggregate money required for payments in respect of the Vested MKS Options pursuant to Section 3.1(b) of the Plan of Arrangement.

ARTICLE 7

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

7.1

MKS Non-Solicitation

(a)

On and after the date of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.1, MKS and the MKS Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly, through any officer, director, employee, advisor, representative, agent or otherwise:

(i)

make, solicit, assist, initiate, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers from any other Person (including any of its

- 65 -

officers or employees) relating to or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal;

(ii)

engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or offer or provide any information with respect to, or otherwise co-operate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to make or complete, any Acquisition Proposal, provided that MKS may advise any Person making an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute (and the MKS Board does not reasonably expect it to lead to) a Superior Proposal when the MKS Board has so determined;

(iii)

effect a MKS Change in Recommendation; or

(iv)

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

(b)

MKS warrants and covenants that it has ceased and shall cause to be terminated any existing solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than PTC and its affiliates) with respect to any proposal or matter that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal and, in connection therewith, MKS has discontinued access to any of its confidential information (and will not establish or allow access to any of its confidential information, or any data room, virtual or otherwise) and shall as soon as possible request, and exercise all rights it has to require, the return or destruction of all confidential information previously provided to any Person in connection therewith to the extent such information has not already been returned or destroyed. MKS further warrants that it has not entered into, participated in, or facilitated any solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than PTC) with respect to any proposal or matter that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal since February 28, 2011. MKS agrees not to release any third party (other than PTC) from any confidentiality, non-solicitation or standstill agreement to which such third party is a party, or terminate, modify, amend or waive the terms thereof and MKS undertakes to enforce, or cause the MKS Subsidiaries to enforce, all standstill, non-disclosure, non-disturbance, non-solicitation and similar covenants that it or any MKS Subsidiary has entered into prior to the date hereof or enters into after the date hereof. MKS represents and warrants that it has not waived any standstill or similar agreement or restriction to which MKS or a MKS Subsidiary is a party. MKS shall not waive the application of the MKS Shareholder Rights Plan in favour of any third party (other than a waiver thereof deemed to have occurred under the terms of Section 5.18(b) of the MKS Shareholder Rights Plan) except as requested in writing by PTC.

(c)

From and after the date of this Agreement, MKS shall promptly provide notice to PTC of any unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or any amendments to the terms of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information relating to MKS or any MKS Subsidiary in connection with

- 66 -

such an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of MKS or any MKS Subsidiary by any Person (other than PTC or any of its affiliates) that informs MKS, any member of the MKS Board or such MKS Subsidiary that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice to PTC shall be made first orally and then promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of receipt thereof by MKS) in writing and shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, inquiry or contact, all material terms thereof and such other details of the proposal, inquiry or contact as are known to MKS, and shall include copies of any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request which is in written form or any amendment to any of the foregoing received by MKS. MKS shall keep PTC promptly and fully informed of the status, including any change to the material terms, of any such Acquisition Proposal, offer, inquiry or request and will respond promptly to all inquiries by PTC with respect thereto.

(d)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the MKS Common Shareholder Approval, MKS receives a request for non-public information from a Person who makes, has made or proposes to MKS an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 7.1 or any breach of any confidentiality or standstill agreement or restriction in favour of MKS by the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, and (x) the MKS Board determines, in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its financial advisors and external legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (y) in the opinion of the MKS Board, in its good faith judgment and after consultation with its financial and external legal counsel, the failure to provide such Person with access to information regarding MKS and the MKS Subsidiaries would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the MKS Board, then, and only in such case, MKS may (i) enter into, participate, facilitate, encourage and maintain discussions or negotiations with, and otherwise co-operate with or assist, the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) provide such Person with access to information regarding MKS and the MKS Subsidiaries in response to requests for information by such Person for a period of review not to exceed the Restricted Period, subject only to the execution of a confidentiality and standstill agreement which is customary in such situations and which, in any event and taken as a whole, is no less favourable to MKS and no less restrictive to such Person than the Confidentiality Agreement (disregarding, and in no event must such confidentiality agreement contain, any provision set forth in the amendment to the Confidentiality Agreement dated March 7, 2011); provided however that the confidentiality and standstill agreement may permit the Person making the Acquisition Proposal to propose confidentially to the MKS Board any amendment to such Acquisition Proposal with the permission of the MKS Board and provided further that MKS sends a copy of any such confidentiality and standstill agreement to PTC promptly upon its execution and PTC is provided with a list of, and, at the request of PTC, copies of, the information provided to such Person and, concurrently with such information being provided to such Person, provided with access to similar information to which such Person was provided and which was not previously provided to PTC. Any such confidentiality and standstill

- 67 -

agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with MKS during the period in which this Agreement is in force and may not restrict MKS or any MKS Subsidiary from complying with this Section 7.1. In no event shall MKS provide to any Person any documents, information or materials provided to MKS by PTC.

(e)

(I) Subject to Subsection 7.1(e)(II), MKS agrees that it will not accept, approve, endorse, recommend or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement (a “Proposed Agreement”), other than a confidentiality and standstill agreement as contemplated by Subsection 7.1(d) with any Person providing for or to facilitate any Acquisition Proposal unless:

(i)

the MKS Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its financial advisors and external legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal;

(ii)

the MKS Common Shareholder Approval has not been obtained;

(iii)

MKS has complied with Subsections 7.1(a) through 7.1(d) inclusive;

(iv)

MKS has provided PTC with a notice in writing that there is a Superior Proposal together with all documentation related to and detailing the Superior Proposal, including a copy of any Proposed Agreement relating to such Superior Proposal, and a written notice from the MKS Board regarding the value in financial terms that the MKS Board has, in consultation with its financial advisors, determined should be ascribed to any non-cash consideration offered under the Superior Proposal, such documents to be so provided to PTC not less than five business days prior to the proposed acceptance, approval, endorsement or recommendation or execution of the Proposed Agreement by MKS;

(v)

Five business days shall have elapsed from the date PTC received the notice and documentation referred to in Subsection 7.1(e)(I)(iv) from MKS (such five business day period being referred to herein as the “Matching Period”) and, if PTC has proposed to amend the terms of the Arrangement in accordance with Subsection 7.1(f), the MKS Board shall have determined in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its financial advisors and external legal counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal compared to the Arrangement as the same would be amended by the proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement by PTC;

(vi)

MKS concurrently terminates this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 8.2(a)(iv)(B) and contemporaneously enters into the Proposed Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; and

(vii)

MKS has previously, or concurrently will have, paid to PTC the MKS Termination Payment;

- 68 -

and MKS further agrees that it will not withdraw, modify or qualify (or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or qualify) in any manner adverse to PTC the approval or recommendation of the Arrangement, nor accept, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (other than the Arrangement) unless the requirements of Subsections 7.1(e)(I)(i) through 7.1(e)(I)(v) have been satisfied.

(II) Notwithstanding the foregoing, MKS shall be permitted to negotiate, accept, approve and enter into a Proposed Agreement to proceed with a Superior Proposal, but only if:

(A)

all of the terms and conditions of the Proposed Agreement shall only become effective, binding and enforceable on and against MKS upon any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, provided that the terms and conditions of the Proposed Agreement may be effective, binding and enforceable on and against the other parties thereto upon and after execution thereof,

(B)

the requirements of Subsection 7.1(e)(I)(i) to (iii) have been complied with,

(C)

contemporaneously with entering into such Proposed Agreement, MKS provides the notice to PTC contemplated in Subsection 7.1(e)(I)(iv), and

(D)

the Proposed Agreement shall provide that it is null and void and deemed never to have been delivered if the MKS Board enters into an amended agreement with PTC as contemplated by Subsection 7.1(f);

provided that, notwithstanding MKS has entered into a Proposed Agreement contemplated by this Subsection 7.1(e)(II) in respect of a Superior Proposal, MKS shall comply with the requirements of Subsection 7.1(e)(I)(v) and Subsection 7.1(f).

(f)

MKS acknowledges and agrees that, during the five business day periods referred to in Subsections 7.1(e)(I)(iv) and 7.1(e)(I)(v) or such longer period as MKS may approve for such purpose, PTC shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to propose to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement in writing and MKS shall co-operate with PTC with respect thereto, including negotiating in good faith with PTC to enable PTC to make such amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement as PTC deems appropriate and as would enable PTC to proceed with the Arrangement and any related transactions on such amended terms. The MKS Board will review any written proposal by PTC to amend the terms of the Arrangement in order to determine, in good faith in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether PTC’s proposal to amend the Arrangement would result in the Acquisition Proposal not being a Superior Proposal compared to the Arrangement as the same would be amended by the proposed amendment to the terms of the Arrangement. If the

- 69 -

MKS Board so determines, MKS shall enter into an amended agreement with PTC reflecting such proposed written amendments.

(g)

The MKS Board shall promptly reaffirm its recommendation of the Arrangement by press release after: (x) any Acquisition Proposal which the MKS Board determines not to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or made; or (y) the MKS Board determines that a proposed amendment by PTC to the terms of the Arrangement would result in the Acquisition Proposal which has been publicly announced or made not being a Superior Proposal, and PTC has so amended the terms of the Arrangement and the Parties have entered into an amendment to this Agreement. Subject to applicable Law, PTC and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such press release, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by MKS, acting reasonably.

(h)

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the MKS Board from (A) responding through a directors’ circular or otherwise as required by applicable Securities Laws to an Acquisition Proposal, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the MKS Board shall be permitted to make such response, the MKS Board shall not be permitted to take, agree or resolve to take any action prohibited by Subsections 7.1(a)(iii) or (iv) except as expressly permitted by Subsections 7.1(d) and (e). PTC and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such response, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by MKS, acting reasonably, and (B) calling, in accordance with applicable Law, a meeting of the MKS Common Shareholders requisitioned in compliance with the OBCA by one or more MKS Common Shareholders provided that such requisitioned meeting may only occur after the MKS Meeting and the MKS Board will not, subject to the prior written consent of PTC to the contrary, call such requisitioned meeting prior to the date which is 20 calendar days from the date of receipt of the requisition by MKS (or the business day immediately preceding such 20^th calendar day if that calendar day is not a business day). Further, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the MKS Board from making any disclosure to the securityholders of MKS if the MKS Board determines in its good faith judgment after consultation with its external legal counsel that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the MKS Board or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law or stock exchange rules, provided, however, that, notwithstanding the MKS Board shall be permitted to make such disclosure, the MKS Board shall not be permitted to take, agree or resolve to take any action prohibited by Subsections 7.1(a)(iii) or (iv) except as expressly permitted by Subsections 7.1(d) and (e). PTC and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the form and content of any such response or disclosure, recognizing that whether or not such comments are appropriate will be determined by MKS, acting reasonably.

(i)

MKS acknowledges and agrees that each successive modification of any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 7.1 and PTC shall be afforded a new five business day period in

- 70 -

which to exercise its rights pursuant to Subsection 7.1(f) in respect of each such Acquisition Proposal. For greater certainty, each such successive modification shall not constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Subsection 7.1(d) and, in any event, shall not give rise to an additional Restricted Period or extend a Restricted Period that has previously commenced pursuant to Subsection 7.1(d).

(j)

MKS shall ensure that the officers, directors and employees of MKS and the MKS Subsidiaries and any investment bankers or other advisors or representatives retained by MKS and/or a MKS Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are aware of the provisions of this Section, and MKS shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 7.1 by such officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, advisors or representatives.

(k)

If MKS provides PTC with the notice of a Superior Proposal contemplated in Subsection 7.1(e)(I)(iv) on a date that is less than five business days prior to the MKS Meeting, if requested by PTC, MKS shall adjourn the MKS Meeting to a date that is not less than five business days and not more than eight business days after the date of such notice, provided, however, that the MKS Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date later than the seventh (7) business day prior to the Outside Date.

7.2

Access to Information; Confidentiality

From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms, subject to compliance with applicable Law and the terms of any Contracts, MKS shall, and shall cause its representatives to afford to PTC and to representatives of PTC such access as PTC may reasonably require at all reasonable times, including for the purpose of facilitating integration business planning, to its officers, employees, agents, advisors, consultants, properties, assets, books, records and Contracts, and shall furnish PTC with all data and information as PTC may reasonably request. PTC acknowledges and agrees that information furnished pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement. PTC agrees that MKS may have a representative present at any interview or meeting with any employee or Governmental Entity.

7.3

Notices of Certain Events

(a)

Each Party will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence, or failure to occur, at any time from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Effective Time of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:

(i)

cause any of the representations or warranties of such Party contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect on the date hereof or at the Effective Time (provided that this paragraph (a) shall not apply in the case of any event or state of facts resulting from the actions or omissions of a Party which are required under this Agreement); or

- 71 -

(ii)

result in the failure to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such Party hereunder prior to the Effective Time,

provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Party receiving that notice.

(b)

PTC may not elect not to complete the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the conditions set forth herein or any termination rights arising therefrom under Subsection 8.2(a)(iii)(B) and no payments are payable as a result of such termination pursuant to Section 8.3 unless, prior to the Effective Date, PTC has delivered a written notice to MKS specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which PTC is asserting as the basis for the non-fulfillment or the applicable condition or termination right, as the case may be. If any such notice is delivered, provided that MKS is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and such matter is capable of being cured, PTC may not terminate this Agreement until the earlier of the Outside Date and the expiration of a period of 10 business days from such notice.

7.4

Insurance and Indemnification

(a)

Prior to the Effective Time, MKS shall obtain and pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as MKS’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with benefits and levels of coverage not less favourable than those provided under MKS’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby). If MKS or PTC for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, for a period of six years after the Effective Time, PTC will, or will cause MKS and/or its successors to, maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by MKS’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time on terms comparable (and no less favourable) to those applicable to the current directors and officers of MKS or any MKS Subsidiary.

(b)

From and after the Effective Time, PTC will fulfill, and will cause MKS and/or its successors to fulfill and honour in all respects its obligations pursuant to any indemnification agreements between MKS and the present and former directors or officers of MKS or any Subsidiary thereof in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time to the extent that they are disclosed in Schedule 7.4(b) to the MKS Disclosure Letter and any indemnification provision under the articles or by-laws of MKS or applicable Laws, in each case, as in effect on the

- 72 -

date hereof and permitted by applicable Laws. PTC shall cause MKS and/or its successors to not amend, repeal or otherwise modify the provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification contained in the articles or by-laws of MKS as in effect on the date hereof for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, prior to the Effective Time, were directors or officers of MKS.

(c)

The provisions of this Section 7.4 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each insured or indemnified Person, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives and, for such purpose, MKS hereby confirms that it is acting as agent on their behalf. Furthermore, this Section 7.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of the Effective Date for a period of six (6) years.

(B)

after the date hereof, there shall be enacted or made any applicable Law that makes consummation of the Arrangement illegal or otherwise prohibited or enjoins MKS or PTC from consummating the Arrangement and such applicable Law or enjoinment shall have become final and non-appealable;

A-5

Plan of Arrangement, and subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 5.3, shall be transferred by the holder thereof to MKS in consideration for a cash payment by MKS equal to the product obtained by multiplying the amount by which the Consideration per MKS Common Share exceeds (i) the exercise price of such Vested MKS Option, for a Vested MKS Option denominated in Canadian dollars and (ii) the exercise price of such Vested MKS Option multiplied by the Currency Exchange Rate for a Vested MKS Option denominated in U.S. dollars, by, in each case, the number of MKS Common Shares underlying each such Vested MKS Option.

(c)

notwithstanding any contingent vesting provisions to which a MKS RSU might otherwise have been subject, and without any further action on behalf of any holder of such MKS RSU and without any payment except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement, each outstanding, unvested MKS RSU shall accelerate in accordance with the terms of the MKS RSU Plan and MKS shall, subject to (for greater certainty) applicable withholdings in accordance with Section 5.3, cause the trustee of the trust under the MKS RSU Plan to deliver to each holder of such an outstanding MKS RSU one MKS Common Share from the trust under the MKS RSU Plan.

excess, referred to as the “Post-Exchange Option Value”) would otherwise exceed the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the MKS Shares subject to such MKS Option immediately before the issuance of the Replacement Option over the aggregate option exercise price for such MKS Shares pursuant to such MKS Option (such excess, referred to as the “Pre-Exchange Option Value”), the previous provisions in this Subsection 3.1(g) shall be modified, but only to the extent necessary and in a manner that does not otherwise adversely affect the holder of the Replacement Option, so that the Post-Exchange Option Value does not exceed the Pre-Exchange Option Value and provided that the Post-Exchange Option Value will not be less than the Pre-Exchange Option Value; and

Pursuant to the Interim Order, registered holders of MKS Common Shares may exercise rights of dissent (“Dissent Rights”) under Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by this Article 4, the Interim Order and the Final Order, with respect to MKS Common Shares in connection with the Arrangement, provided that, notwithstanding Section 185(6) of the OBCA, the written notice setting forth the objection of such registered MKS Common Shareholder to the Arrangement contemplated by Section 185(6) of the OBCA and exercise of Dissent Rights must be received by MKS not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the business day that is two (2) business days before the MKS Meeting or any date to which the MKS Meeting may be postponed or adjourned and provided further that holders who exercise such Dissent Rights and who:

(i)

are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their MKS Common Shares, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the OBCA, shall be determined as of the close of business on the day before the Effective Date, shall be deemed to have transferred their MKS Common Shares to Acquireco (free and clear of any Liens) and Acquireco shall thereupon pay the amount therefor determined to be the fair value of such MKS Common Shares; and

A-8

(ii)

are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for their MKS Common Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement, as of the Effective Time, on the same basis as a holder of MKS Common Shares that did not exercise Dissent Rights and shall be entitled to receive only the consideration contemplated in Subsection 3.1(d) hereof that such holder would have received pursuant to the Arrangement if such holder had not exercised Dissent Rights;

(b)

In no circumstances shall MKS, PTC or any other Person be required to recognize a Person exercising Dissent Rights unless such Person is a registered holder of those MKS Common Shares in respect of which such rights are sought to be exercised; and

(c)

For greater certainty, in no case shall MKS, PTC or any other Person be required to recognize Dissenting Shareholders as holders of MKS Common Shares after the Effective Time, and the names of such Dissenting Shareholders shall be deleted from the register of MKS Common Shareholders as of the Effective Time. In addition to any other restrictions under Section 185 of the OBCA and, for greater certainty, none of the following shall be entitled to exercise Dissent Rights: (i) holders of MKS Options; (ii) holders of MKS RSUs; and (iii) MKS Common Shareholders who vote, or who have instructed a proxyholder to vote, in favour of the Arrangement Resolution.

5.1

Delivery of Consideration

(a)

Prior the Effective Time, (i) Acquireco shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Depositary, for the benefit of and in trust for holders of MKS Common Shares, the aggregate amount of cash payable under Subsections 3.1(d) and (e) (with the amount per MKS Common Share in respect of which Dissent Rights have been exercised being deemed to be equal to the Consideration for this purpose only); and (ii) MKS shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Depositary, for the benefit of and in trust for holders of Vested MKS Options, the aggregate amount of cash required for payments in respect of the Vested MKS Options pursuant to Subsection 3.1(b). All such money shall be cash, denominated in Canadian dollars in same day funds payable at Toronto, Ontario. Such money shall not be used for any purpose except as provided in this Plan of Arrangement.

(b)

Upon surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate that immediately before the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding MKS Common Shares that were exchanged for cash in accordance with Subsection 3.1(d) hereof, together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder following the Effective Time, the cash that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with

A-9

Subsection 3.1(d) hereof, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.3 and any certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. The cash deposited with the Depositary shall be held in an interest-bearing account and any interest earned on such funds shall be for the account of Acquireco.

(c)

After the Effective Time and until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by Subsection 5.1(a) hereof, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more MKS Common Shares shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the Consideration that the holder of such certificate is entitled to receive in accordance with Subsection 3.1(d) hereof, less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section 5.3.

(d)

No holder of MKS Common Shares, MKS Options or MKS RSUs shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such securities other than the consideration to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Article 3 and this Section 5.1 and, for greater certainty, no such holder will be entitled to receive any interest, dividends, premium or other payment in connection therewith, other than any declared but unpaid dividends with a record date prior to the Effective Date. No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the MKS Common Shares with a record date on or after the Effective Date shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which, immediately prior to the Effective Date, represented outstanding MKS Common Shares.

5.2

Lost Certificates

If any certificate, that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding MKS Common Shares that were exchanged for the Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof. When authorizing such delivery of Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the holder to whom such Consideration is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such Consideration, give a bond satisfactory to PTC and the Depositary in such amount as PTC and the Depositary may direct, or otherwise indemnify PTC and the Depositary in a manner satisfactory to PTC and the Depositary, against any claim that may be made against PTC or the Depositary with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and shall otherwise take such actions as may be required by the articles and by-laws of Acquireco.

5.3

Withholding Rights

PTC, Acquireco and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable to any Person under the Plan of Arrangement (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1) such amounts as PTC or the Depositary is required or permitted to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the IRC or any provision of any applicable federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax Law or treaty, in each case, as amended.

A-10

To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Former MKS Common Shareholder, or holder of Vested MKS Options as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.

5.4

Limitation and Proscription

Subject to applicable laws, to the extent that a Former MKS Common Shareholder shall not have complied with the provisions of Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 hereof on or before the date that is six (6) years after the Effective Date (the “final proscription date”), then the Consideration that such Former MKS Common Shareholder was entitled to receive shall be automatically cancelled without any repayment of capital in respect thereof and the Consideration to which such Former MKS Common Shareholder was entitled, shall be delivered to Acquireco by the Depositary and the Former MKS Common Shareholder shall cease to have any claim or interest of any kind or nature against or in MKS, Acquireco or PTC as of such final proscription date.

5.5

No Liens

Any exchange or transfer of securities pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall be free and clear of any Liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances, mortgages, hypothecs, restrictions, adverse claims or other claims of third parties of any kind.

5.6

Paramountcy

From and after the Effective Time: (i) this Plan of Arrangement shall take precedence and priority over any and all MKS Common Shares issued prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the rights and obligations of the registered holders of MKS Common Shares, and MKS, PTC, Acquireco, the Depositary and any transfer agent or other depositary therefor in relation thereto, shall be solely as provided for in this Plan of Arrangement, and (iii) all actions, causes of action, claims or proceedings (actual or contingent and whether or not previously asserted) based on or in any way relating to any MKS Common Shares shall be deemed to have been settled, compromised, released and determined without liability except as set forth herein.
