  4. The Council made certain recommendations on April 16, 2015 to the Province to make changes to the regulation and control of Beer in Ontario, including to the retail and distribution system for Beer, following a negotiation with the Corporation and the Original Owners, at the direction and authorization of the Province, that resulted in the Council, the Corporation and the Original Owners entering into a non-binding statement of principles entitled “Modernizing the Distribution of Beer in Ontario: Framework of Key Principles” (the “Key Principles”), which was accepted by the Province. The Key Principles were set out in an attachment to the Council’s report entitled “Striking the Right Balance: Modernizing Beer Retailing and Distribution in Ontario”.
  5. The Corporation, the Original Owners and the Province have entered into a Master Framework Agreement (the “Master Framework Agreement”) to record their agreement as to the manner in which the Key Principles shall be implemented with the direction, authorization and agreement of the Province.
  6. The Parties have entered into this Agreement as contemplated by the Master Framework Agreement to record their agreement to terminate the 2000 Framework Agreement. The LCBO has done so with the authority and at the direction of the Province.

THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of their respective agreements set out below and as contemplated by the Master Framework Agreement, the Parties covenant and agree as follows:

1.3 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the termination of the 2000 Framework Agreement does not constitute expropriation. Subject to article 1.2 hereof, the Parties release each other from any remedy in contract, restitution, tort or trust that is available in connection with the termination of the 2000 Framework Agreement.

1.4 The Parties acknowledge and agree that if any of them were to commence any proceedings in contract, restitution, tort or trust in connection with the termination of the 2000 Framework Agreement or for an equitable remedy in connection with that termination, this Agreement may be raised as an estoppel to any such claims in the proceedings. In the event that a Party commences any such proceedings, that Party undertakes and agrees to indemnify the opposite Party in respect of any costs, including legal fees, incurred in relation to such claims.

1.5 For clarification, articles 1.3 and 1.4 hereof do not release any right or claim of the Parties to contribution or indemnity or a claim over against each other, if a third party makes a claim in connection with the termination of the 2000 Framework Agreement or this Termination Agreement.
