Tax Escrow Agreement (form of)
ESCROW AGREEMENT
THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT made the ___day of                                         , 2008.
AMONG:
PURERAY ACQUISITION INC., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada,
(the “Purchaser”)
AND:
[ ], [an individual residing in the state of [ ],
(the “Vendor”)
AND:
WILDEBOER DELLELCE LLP, a limited liability partnership established under the laws of Ontario
(the “Escrow Agent”)
WHEREAS the Vendor and Purchaser are parties to a share purchase agreement dated                                         , 2008 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), the Vendor and the Purchaser have agreed to enter into this agreement to provide for the Purchaser’s obligations under section 3 of the Share Purchase Agreement and to provide for the remittance to, and the holding and release by, the Escrow Agent of certain Exchangeable Shares to be delivered by the Purchaser to the Escrow Agent on the terms set out herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES as follows:
1.   Definitions
 
1.1   Unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this Escrow Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Share Purchase Agreement.
 
2.   Delivery of Escrowed Shares
 
2.1   The Purchaser hereby delivers to the Escrow Agent [ ] Exchangeable Shares (the “Escrowed Shares”), which Exchangeable Shares shall be held by the Escrow Agent pending release in accordance with, and on the terms set out in, this Escrow Agreement.


 

 

3.   Release of Escrowed Shares
 
3.1   The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrowed Shares deposited with it in trust to be released by the Escrow Agent only on the following terms:
  (1)   the Vendor shall deliver to the Purchaser as soon as practicable following the date of this agreement a tax clearance certificate issued pursuant to section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (each a “Section 116 Certificate”) with an aggregate certificate limit at least equal to the amount of the Purchase Price multiplied by the number of PureRay Shares purchased from the Vendor (the “Non-Resident Total Purchase Price”) and expressed in Canadian dollars;
 
  (2)   the Vendor agrees at Closing, to deliver the Escrowed Shares along with an executed power of attorney to the Escrow Agent with instructions that the Escrow Agent (i) hold the Escrowed Shares in escrow and (ii) release the Escrowed Shares from escrow in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and this Agreement;
 
  (3)   if on or before the twenty-eighth day of the month following the calendar month in which the Closing occurs (the “Remittance Date”) the Purchaser receives from the Vendor a Section 116 Certificate with an aggregate certificate limit at least equal to the amount of the Non-Resident Total Purchase Price paid to the Vendor expressed in Canadian dollars, the Purchaser shall, immediately after receipt of such Section 116 Certificate, cause the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Vendor the Escrowed Shares;
 
  (4)   in the event that on or before the Remittance Date, the Purchaser does not receive the Section 116 Certificate or receives a Section 116 Certificate with a certificate limit that is less than the Non-Resident Total Purchase Price then, unless the Canada Revenue Agency shall have issued a letter confirming that the Canada Revenue Agency will not require the remittance of funds as is normally required under subsection 116(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and that the Purchaser may delay the remittance of amounts in respect of the purchase of the PureRay Shares until further instructed by the Canada Revenue Agency (a “Comfort Letter”), the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrowed Shares to the Purchaser and the Purchaser, as agent for the Vendor, shall sell or otherwise dispose, outside the United States in compliance with Rule 903 of Regulation S under the 1933 Act and in compliance with applicable Canadian securities laws, of such portion of the Escrowed Shares as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Purchaser to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and the Purchaser shall notify the Vendor thereof and remit to the Vendor any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale, and the balance, if any, of the Escrowed Shares. If the proceeds of such sale are insufficient to fund the required withholding, the Vendor shall forthwith pay to the Purchaser or remit to the applicable taxing authority the deficiency. The Vendor shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses associated with any sale by the Purchaser pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences; and


 

 

  (5)   if the Canada Revenue Agency has provided a Comfort Letter, the Escrow Agent shall not deliver the Escrowed Shares to the Purchaser on the date that would otherwise be the Remittance Date and if the relevant Section 116 Certificate is received while the Comfort Letter remains in effect, with an aggregate certificate limit at least equal to the Purchase Price in Canadian dollars, or if proof, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, is provided that the appropriate remittances have been made to the Canada Revenue Agency, the Escrow Agent shall, promptly after receipt of such certificate or proof of remittance, deliver to the Vendor the Escrowed Shares. If notification from the Canada Revenue Agency is received that the Comfort Letter is no longer in effect, such date of receipt shall be deemed to be the Remittance Date for the purposes of this Section 3.1(e).
3.2   Without restricting the generality of section 3.1(e), the Vendor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Purchaser and the Escrow Agent from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, expenses, taxes and penalties, and any interest thereon, of any nature or kind, including reasonable legal fees, which may be made or brought against the Purchaser or the Escrow Agent or which the Purchaser or Escrow Agent may suffer or incur as a result of or in respect of any reliance on a Comfort Letter. The obligation of the Vendor pursuant to this section 3.2 shall terminate effective as and from the date upon which the Escrow Agent receives a Section 116 Certificate in form and content satisfactory to the Escrow Agent (acting in its capacity as the Purchaser’s solicitors) and showing a certificate limit or proceeds of disposition in an amount not less than the Purchase Price.
 
4.   Escrow Agent

  (b)   The Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, declaration, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document which the Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports to be.
 
  (c)   The Escrow Agent shall not be required to determine the authenticity of signatures or the power and authority of any signatory to execute such confirmation, instruction or order and will be entitled to assume the authorization, due execution, validity and effectiveness of the same.
 
  (d)   The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, except for its own negligence or wilful misconduct.


 

 

  (e)   The Escrow Agent shall incur no liability hereunder or in connection herewith for anything whatsoever other than as a result of its own negligence or wilful misconduct. The Vendor and the Purchaser shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Escrow Agent from and against any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, losses, costs, liabilities and expense, of any nature or kind including reasonable legal fees, which may be made or brought against it or which it may suffer or incur as a result of or in respect of or arising out of this Agreement or the Escrow Agent’s duties and responsibilities hereunder, except such as shall result solely and directly from its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
 
  (f)   In the event of any disagreement between any of the parties hereto resulting in adverse claims or demands with respect to the Escrowed Shares, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, at its option, to refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it with respect thereto as long as such disagreement shall continue, and in so refusing, the Escrow Agent may elect to make no delivery of Escrowed Shares. In so doing, the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to the parties hereto for its failure or refusal to comply with such claims or demands. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refrain from acting or refusing to act until such claims or demands (i) shall have been finally determined in a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) shall have been settled by agreement and the Escrow Agent shall have been notified thereof by the Vendor and the Purchaser in writing.
 
  (g)   The Escrow Agent may pay the Escrowed Shares into court in the Province of Ontario for a determination by such court as to the entitlement to the Escrowed Shares at any time and the Escrow Agent shall thereupon be released from any obligation hereunder.
 
  (h)   The Escrow Agent may employ such counsel and advisers as it may reasonably require for the purpose of discharging its duties under this Escrow Agreement and the Escrow Agent may act and shall be protected in acting in good faith on the opinion or advice of or information obtained from any such counsel or adviser in relation to any matter arising under this Escrow Agreement.
 
  (i)   Nothing in acting as Escrow Agent hereunder shall preclude the Escrow Agent from acting, in any manner, as counsel to the Purchaser in connection with any matter or dispute, including disputes pertaining to the Share Purchase Agreement or this Escrow Agreement and the Vendor agrees that it will not raise any objection in any forum to the Escrow Agent acting as counsel to the Purchaser.
 
  (j)   The Escrow Agent may resign at any time as Escrow Agent upon written notice to the Purchaser and the Vendor and appointment of a replacement escrow agent by the Escrow Agent, which shall be a trust company duly licensed in the Province of Ontario.
