AFFIDAVIT OF KERRY ADLER (sworn October 26, 2014) I, Kerry Adler, of the City of Toronto, in the Province of Ontario, MAKE OATH AND SAY: 1. I am the President and Director of 2138747 Ontario Inc. (the "Applicant"), and a former Chief Executive Officer of SkyPower Corp. The Applicant is the largest unsecured creditor in the estate of Interwind Corp., formerly known as SkyPower Corp.(the "Bankrupt"). As such, I have knowledge of the matters hereinafter deposed to, except where stated to be on information and belief and whereso stated I verily believe it to be true. 2. I swear this affidavit in support of the Applicant's motion for an order pursuant to Section 38 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. B-3 (the "BIA"), in respect of a cause of action currently held by the estate of the Bankrupt, as against Samsung C&T Corporation, Samsung America, Inc., Samsung C&T America, Inc.(formerly Samsung America, Inc.) and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, employees, partners, joint venture partners and shareholders (collectively, "Samsung"), for damages arising from, inter alia, Samsung's alleged misappropriation of the Bankrupt's confidential information and alleged breach of a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement dated September 26, 2008 between, among others, the Bankrupt and Samsung (the "Proceedings"). 3. On October 23, 2013, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc.("PwC"), in its capacity as receiver, filed an assignment into bankruptcy with respect to the Bankrupt, and PwC was appointed as trustee in bankruptcy (the "Trustee). Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit A is a true copy of the Notice of Bankruptcy and First Meeting of Creditors. -24. On November 11, 2013, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman") filed a proof of claim in the Bankrupt's estate in the amount of $57,745,088, of which the Trustee advises no portion was disallowed (the "Assigned Proven Claim"). 5. On October 26, 2014, Lehman assigned to the Applicant the Assigned Proven Claim and any claim or cause of action that LB SkyPower Inc. may have against Samsung. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit B is a true copy of the assignment agreement (without schedule) relating to the Assigned Proven Claim. 6. I have been advised by the Trustee that the total quantum as of October 20, 2014 of all claims filed in the estate of the Bankrupt is $58,195,466.81, of which the Assigned Proven Claim represents approximately 99.2% of all proven claims. 7. I am advised by the Trustee that a representative of Lehman was the sole inspector in the estate of the Bankrupt and that, on January 15, 2014, the inspector resigned and a replacement has not been appointed. Included in the requested relief is that Ted Brandt, a shareholder and representative ofthe Applicant, be appointed by the Court as an inspector. 8. On September 26, 2008, the Bankrupt, Samsung C&T Corporation, Samsung America, Inc. and Lehman, as majority owner and financial advisor to, and on behalf of, LB SkyPower Inc., entered into a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement(the "NDA"). 9. The NDA was executed in connection with Samsung's evaluation of a potential transaction with the Bankrupt. It afforded Samsung a means of gaining access to the Bankrupt's confidential and highly sensitive information to allow Samsung to conduct due diligence regarding that potential transaction. Under the NDA,Samsung was given access to and accessed the Bankrupt's electronic data room, and was provided with the Bankrupt's highly confidential wind and real estate data, as well as detailed highly confidential information about the Bankrupt's projects and project concepts, business plans, government discussions, strategies, vision, human resources, financing, market analysis, methodology for choosing project sites, electricity grid analysis, risk analysis, legal/government matters, methods of acquiring land rights, pricing considerations, engineering and construction partners, wind farm operations and maintenance strategies and feasibility studies, including but not limited to: -3a) proprietary meteorological data, including wind resource data and assessments and solar resource data; b) options to lease or purchase land, land option agreements signed, controlled, and/or targeted strategically by the Bankrupt and/or directly or indirectly through affiliated entities, including both private and Crown owned land, site analysis and selection methodologies; c) information regarding strategically important First Nation communities including details regarding sensitive discussions and strategies; d) domestic content strategies, community contribution strategies and technology strategies; e) confidential discussions with government officials; f) interconnection studies, strategies, analysis and reports; g) competitive practices and bidding strategies; h) economic analysis; and i) proprietary financial models and analysis, among other proprietary intellectual property. All this information was covered by the NDA,which precluded Samsung from disclosing any of the materials to any third party or using any of the materials for any purpose other than a transaction with the Bankrupt. I believe that in derogation of its obligations under the NDA, Samsung misappropriated that confidential data and used it to launch a competing renewable energy project that was in material respects based on the Bankrupt's confidential data and was derived from the proprietary and confidential materials covered by the NDA, as a result significantly damaging the Bankrupt and unjustly enriching Samsung. 10. By letter dated October 26, 2014, Goodmans LLP, as counsel to and on behalf of the Applicant, a creditor of the Bankrupt, requested that the Trustee commence the Proceedings for -4the benefit of the estate of the Bankrupt. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit C is a true copy of the Goodmans LLP letter to the Trustee. 11. By letter dated October 26, the Trustee declined to commence the Proceedings. Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit D is a true copy ofthe Trustee's letter to Goodmans LLP. 12. The Applicant now seeks an order pursuant to Section 38 of the BIA authorizing it to enforce the Bankrupt's claims against Samsung by commencing and prosecuting the Proceedings in the Applicant's name and to distribute the recoveries on such claims to the stakeholders of the Bankrupt's estate in the manner set out therein. 13. I am advised by Ellen Werther of Ressler & Ressler, the Applicant's litigation counsel in respect of the Proceedings, that the statute of limitations is running, and the Proceedings should be promptly filed so as to preserve the value of those claims. It is our intention to file the Proceedings immediately following the granting of the Order. While the Proceedings will be commenced prior to notice being provided to other known creditors, should such other creditors wish to participate as contemplated by Section 38 of the BIA,the Applicant will provide for their participation. 14. I am of the opinion that the Proceedings would be for the benefit of the estate of the Bankrupt. The Proceedings will seek to recover the losses suffered by the Bankrupt for the benefit ofthe Bankrupt's stakeholders. 15. The Applicant is prepared to continue the action at its own expense and risk, and to give other creditors of the Bankrupt who, as of the date of the Order, have proven claims in the estate an opportunity to participate in the Proceedings as contemplated by Section 38 of the BIA. 16. I make this affidavit in support of the motion of the Applicant for an order pursuant to Section 38 ofthe BIA and for no other or improper purpose. 5 SWORN BEFORE ME at the City of Toronto, in the Province of Ontario, an October 26, 2014.
