(4) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts, including any contractual rights available to it, to cause ACN to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.1 as if it were a subsidiary of the Company for the purposes of this Section.

5.2 Purchaser Financing

(1) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.3, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the financings contemplated by the Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event prior to the Outside Date, on the terms and conditions described therein (provided that, subject to compliance with Section 5.2(5), the Purchaser may amend or replace the Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter so long as the terms of such amendment or replacement would not materially expand upon the conditions precedent set forth in the Commitment Letter and/or the Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, or otherwise materially impair the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder or be inconsistent with the provisions hereof), including negotiating and entering into definitive credit or loan or other agreements and all other documentation with respect to the financings contemplated thereby (or any substitute financing commitment). The Purchaser shall deliver to the Company correct and complete copies of such executed definitive agreements and documentation promptly when available and drafts thereof from time to time upon reasonable request by the Company.

(2) The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy, on a timely basis, in all material respects all covenants, terms, representations and warranties and conditions within its control applicable to the Purchaser in the Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter and accommodate the financings provided for under the Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter and, upon breach, will enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter.

(3) The Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed with respect to all material activity concerning the status of the financings referred to in this Section 5.2 and shall give the Company prompt notice upon becoming aware of any material change with respect to any such financings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser agrees to notify the Company promptly if at any time prior to the Effective Time: (a) the Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter shall expire or be terminated for any reason; (b) any event occurs that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would individually or in the aggregate, constitute a default or breach on the part of the Purchaser under any material term or condition of the Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter or any other definitive agreement or documentation referred to in this Section 5.2 or if the Purchaser has any reason to believe that it shall be unable to satisfy, on a timely basis, any term or condition of any financing referred to in this Section 5.2 to be satisfied by it, that in each case would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Purchaser to consummate the financings; or (c) the financing source that is a party to the Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter advises the Purchaser or any Purchaser Party, whether orally or in writing, that such source (and, in the case of the Commitment Letter, other sources to whom the financing commitment under the Commitment Letter may have been syndicated) either no longer intend(s) to provide or underwrite any financing referred to in this Section 5.2 on the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, or request(s) amendments or waivers thereto that are or could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the timely completion by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(4) Other than in connection with and as contemplated in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, take any action or enter into any transaction, including any merger, acquisition, joint venture, disposition, lease, contract or debt or equity financings, that would reasonably be expected to materially impair, delay or prevent the Purchaser obtaining the financing contemplated by this Section 5.2.

(5) The Purchaser shall not amend or alter, or agree to amend or alter, the Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter or any other definitive agreement or documentation referred to in this Section 5.2 in any manner that would reasonably be expected to materially impair, delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of the Company.

(6) If the Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter is terminated or modified in a manner materially adverse to the Purchaser’s ability to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any reason, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (a) obtain, as promptly as practicable, and, once obtained, provide the Company with a copy of, one or more new financing commitments in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not subject to any condition precedent materially less favourable from the perspective of the Company than the conditions precedent contained in the Commitment Letter and/or the Equity Commitment Letter, as the case may be, (provided that the Purchaser shall not be required to use reasonable best efforts to obtain any commitments that are on terms less favourable to the Purchaser (as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser) than those in the Commitment Letter and/or the Equity Commitment Letter); (b) negotiate and enter into definitive credit, loan or other agreements and all required documentation with such third parties as may be necessary for the Purchaser to obtain such funds on terms and conditions consistent with such new financing commitments, as soon as reasonably

practicable but in any event prior to the Outside Date, and deliver to the Company correct and complete copies of such executed definitive agreements and documentation promptly when available; (c) satisfy, on a timely basis, in all material respects all covenants, terms, representations and warranties and conditions applicable to the Purchaser in respect of such new financing commitments and all other required agreements and documentation referred to in this Section 5.2 and enforce its rights under such new financing commitments and agreements and documentation; and (d) obtain funds under such commitments to the extent necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any such replacement commitments shall be deemed to constitute the Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, for the purposes of Section 7.8 and this Section 5.2.

(7) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that its obtaining financing is not a condition to any of its obligations hereunder, regardless of the reasons why financing is not obtained or whether such reasons are within or beyond the control of the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, if any financing referred to in this Section 5.2 is not obtained, the Purchaser shall continue to be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to and on the terms contemplated by this Agreement.

5.3 Mutual Covenants

(1) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the Arrangement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable, including:

	(a)		preparing and filing as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the expiration of any legal deadline, all necessary documents, registrations, statements, petitions, filings and applications for the Regulatory Approvals and using their reasonable best efforts to obtain and maintain such Regulatory Approvals;
	(b)		in the case of the Company, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, submitting the Arrangement Resolution for approval by the Shareholders at the Company Meeting in accordance with Section 2.3(1);

	(d)		opposing any injunction or restraining or other order seeking to stop, or otherwise adversely affecting each of its ability to consummate, the Arrangement and defending, or causing to be defended, any Proceedings to which it is a party or brought against it or its directors or officers challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Arrangement and the transactions contemplated hereby;

	(e)		using, and, in the case of the Company, causing its subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to satisfy (or cause the satisfaction of) the conditions precedent to its obligations hereunder as set forth in Article VI to the extent the same is within its control and to take, or cause to be taken, all other action and to do, or cause to be done, all other things necessary, proper or advisable under all applicable Laws to consummate the Arrangement;
	(f)		carrying out the terms of the Interim Order and the Final Order applicable to it and complying promptly with all requirements which applicable Laws may impose on it or its subsidiaries or affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; and
	(g)		not taking any action, or permitting any action to be taken or commercially reasonable action to not be taken, which is inconsistent with this Agreement or which would reasonably be expected to significantly impede the completion of the Arrangement or to prevent or materially delay the completion of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (including the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI) or any Regulatory Approval, in each case, except as specifically permitted by this Agreement.

(2) The Parties shall cooperate in the preparation of any application for the Regulatory Approvals and any other orders, clearances, consents, rulings, exemptions, no-action letters and approvals reasonably deemed by either the Purchaser or the Company to be necessary to discharge their respective obligations under this Agreement or otherwise advisable under applicable Laws in connection with the Arrangement and this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, each Party shall furnish, on a timely basis, all information as may be reasonably required by the other Party or by any Governmental Entity to effectuate the foregoing actions, and each covenants that, to its knowledge, no information so furnished by it in writing shall contain a misrepresentation.

(3) The Parties shall consult with, and consider in good faith any suggestions or comments made by, the other Party with respect to the documentation relating to the Regulatory Approvals process, provided that, to the extent any such document contains any information or disclosure relating to a Party or any affiliate of a Party, such Party shall have approved such information or disclosure prior to the submission or filing of any such document (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(4) Subject to applicable Laws, the Parties shall cooperate with and keep each other fully informed as to the status of and the processes and proceedings relating to obtaining the Regulatory Approvals, and shall promptly notify each other of any communication from any Governmental Entity in respect of the Arrangement or this Agreement, and shall not make any submissions or filings, participate in any meetings or any material conversations with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigations or other inquiries related to the Arrangement or this Agreement unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent not precluded by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to review drafts of any submissions or filings, or attend and participate in any communications or meetings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, submissions, filings or other written communications with any Governmental Entity may be redacted as necessary before sharing with the other Party to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns, provided that external legal counsel to the Purchaser and the Company shall receive non-redacted versions of drafts or final submissions, filings or other written communications to any Governmental Entity on the basis that the redacted information shall not be shared with their respective clients. The Parties shall request that the Regulatory Approvals be processed by the applicable Governmental Entity on an expedited basis and, to the extent that a public hearing is held, the Parties shall request the earliest possible hearing date for the consideration of the Regulatory Approvals.

(5) Each of the Purchaser and the Company shall promptly notify the other if at any time before the Effective Time it becomes aware that:

	(a)		any application for a Regulatory Approval or other filing under applicable Laws made in connection with this Agreement, the Arrangement or the transactions contemplated herein contains a misrepresentation; or
	(b)		any Regulatory Approval or other order, clearance, consent, ruling, exemption, no-action letter or other approval applied for as contemplated herein which has been obtained contains or reflects or was obtained following submission of any application, filing, document or submission as contemplated herein that contained a misrepresentation,

such that an amendment or supplement to such application, filing, document or submission or order, clearance, consent, ruling, exemption, no-action letter or approval may be necessary or advisable. In such case, the Parties shall cooperate in the preparation of such amendment or supplement as required.

(6) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any applicable Law, or if any proceeding is instituted or threatened by any Governmental Entity challenging or which could lead to a challenge of any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of or not in compliance with the requirements of any applicable Law, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts consistent with the terms hereof to resolve such proceeding so as to allow the Effective Time to occur on or prior to the Outside Date.

(7) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in exercising its reasonable best efforts, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, take any and all steps necessary to obtain the Key Non-Transportation Regulatory Approvals as promptly as practicable including agreeing in respect of any of the businesses, properties, assets, operations, rights or interests of the Purchaser Parties and their subsidiaries and affiliates (including any businesses, properties, assets, operations, rights or interests acquired or to be acquired by the Purchaser contemplated hereby): (a) to any and all divestitures, licensing, hold separate or similar arrangements with respect to assets or conduct of business arrangements; (b) to terminate any and all existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations; (c) to commit to, enter into, register or effect any and all undertakings or consent agreements, and (d) to satisfy, assent to and/or comply with the terms and conditions of any approval, in each such case without any reduction of the Consideration.

5.4 Public Communications

Subject to Section 2.4, none of the Company or the Purchaser Parties shall, and each shall cause its respective representatives not to, issue any press release or otherwise make any disclosure relating to this Agreement or the Arrangement without the consent of the Parties hereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that the foregoing shall be subject to the Company’s overriding obligation to make any disclosure or filing required under applicable Laws, and in such circumstances the Company shall use all reasonable best efforts to give prior oral or written

notice to the Purchaser Parties and reasonable opportunity for the Purchaser Parties and its legal counsel to review or comment on the disclosure or filing (other than with respect to confidential information contained in such disclosure or filing), and if such prior notice is not possible, to give such notice immediately following the making of any such disclosure or filing.

(1) Each Party shall 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 and the Effective Time of any event or state of facts which occurrence or failure would, or would be likely to:

	(a)		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; or
	(b)		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.

(2) The Purchaser may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(ii) and the Company may not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(d)(ii) unless the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have delivered a written notice to the other Party specifying in reasonable detail all breaches of covenants, representations and warranties or other matters which the Party delivering such notice is asserting as the basis for the termination right. If any such notice is delivered, provided that a Party is proceeding diligently to cure such matter and such matter is reasonably capable of being cured (except matters arising out of the failure

to make appropriate disclosure in the Company Disclosure Letter), no Party may exercise such termination right until the earlier of (a) the Outside Date and (b) the date that is 30 days following receipt of such notice by the Party to whom the notice was delivered, if such matter has not been cured by such date. If such notice has been delivered prior to the date of the Company Meeting, such meeting shall, unless the Parties agree otherwise, be postponed or adjourned until the earlier of (i) five business days prior to the Outside Date and (ii) the date that is 30 days following receipt of such notice by the Party to whom the notice was delivered (without causing any breach of any other provision contained herein).

The Company agrees that neither it, nor any of its subsidiaries, shall terminate, waive, amend or modify, and agrees to actively prosecute and enforce, any agreement containing standstill provisions and any provision of any existing confidentiality agreement or any standstill agreement to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party (except to allow the person party to such provisions or agreement to privately propose an Acquisition Proposal to the Company and except that the Purchaser acknowledges that the automatic termination of the standstill provisions of such agreements as a result of the entering into and announcement of this Agreement shall not be a violation of this Section 7.2(2)); provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Board of

Directors from considering and accepting any new Acquisition Proposal that is determined to be a Superior Proposal that might be made by any such person, provided that the remaining provisions of this Section 7.2 are complied with.

(3) Notwithstanding Section 7.2(1), Section 7.2(2) and any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Shareholders at the Company Meeting, the Company receives a written Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of this Section 7.2 that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal advisors, constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute a Superior Proposal, then the Company may, following compliance with Section 7.2(4):

	(a)		furnish information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries to the person making such Acquisition Proposal; and/or
	(b)		enter into, participate, facilitate and maintain discussions or negotiations with, and otherwise cooperate with or assist, the person making such Acquisition Proposal;

provided that the Company shall not, and shall not allow its Representatives to, disclose any non-public information to such person without having entered into a confidentiality and standstill agreement with such person that contains provisions that are no less favourable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement except that such agreement need not restrict the ability of such person to privately propose an Acquisition Proposal to the Company (a correct and complete copy of which confidentiality and standstill agreement shall be provided to the Purchaser before any such non-public information is provided), provided that such confidentiality and standstill agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with the Company and may not restrict the Company or its subsidiaries from complying with this Section 7.2, and shall promptly provide to the Purchaser any material non-public information concerning the Company or its subsidiaries provided to such other person which was not previously provided to the Purchaser.

(4) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following receipt) notify the Purchaser (at first orally and thereafter in writing) in the event it receives after the date hereof an Acquisition Proposal (including any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company or its subsidiaries, in each case, in connection with a potential Acquisition Proposal), including the material terms and conditions thereof (including the identity of the person making the Acquisition Proposal), and shall regularly and promptly inform the Purchaser in writing as to the status of developments and negotiations with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, including any changes to the material terms or conditions, of such Acquisition Proposal.

(5) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the approval of the Arrangement Resolution by the Shareholders at the Company Meeting, the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of this Section 7.2 that the Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors may, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1(1)(d)(i), authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement and contemporaneously enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, if and only if:

	(a)		it has provided the Purchaser with a copy of the Superior Proposal document, together with any financing documents supplied to the Company in connection therewith, and written confirmation from the Company that the Board of Directors has determined that the proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and
	(b)		five business days (the “Matching Period”) shall have elapsed from the date that is the later of (i) the date the Purchaser received written notice advising the Purchaser that the Board of Directors has resolved, subject only to compliance with this Section 7.2, to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and (ii) the date the Purchaser has received all of the materials set forth in Section 7.2(5)(a), (it being understood that the Company shall promptly inform the Purchaser of any amendment to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Proposal during such period).

(6) During the Matching Period, the Company agrees that the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to amend the terms of this Agreement. The Board of Directors shall review any offer by the Purchaser to amend the terms of this Agreement in good faith in order to determine, in its discretion in the exercise of its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, whether the Purchaser’s amended offer, upon acceptance by the Company would cause the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Matching Period to cease to be a Superior Proposal. If the Board of Directors so determines, the Company shall enter into an amended agreement with the Purchaser reflecting the Purchaser’s amended offer. If, after the expiry of the Matching Period, the Board of Directors continues to believe, in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and therefore rejects the Purchaser’s amended offer, if any, or the Purchaser fails to enter into an agreement with the Company reflecting such amended offer, the Company and the Board of Directors may, subject to compliance with the other provisions hereof, effect a Change in Recommendation (other than of the type referred to in clause (D) of the definition thereof) and/or, subject to payment of the Termination Fee as set forth in Section 8.1(1)(d)(i), terminate this Agreement to enter into an agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal.

(7) In the event that the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 7.2(5)(b) on a date which is less than five business days prior to the Company Meeting, the Purchaser shall be entitled to require the Company to adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting to a date that is not more than seven business days after the date of such notice.

(8) The Company acknowledges that each successive modification to any Acquisition Proposal shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the requirement under Section 7.2(5)(b) and shall initiate a new five business day period.

(9) Nothing contained in this Agreement, including Section 7.2(1), shall prohibit the Board of Directors from making a Change in Recommendation (other than of the type identified in clause (D) of the definition thereof) or from making any disclosure to any securityholders of the Company prior to the Effective Time, including for greater certainty disclosure of a Change in Recommendation, if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to take such action or make such disclosure would be a breach of the Board of Directors’ exercise of its fiduciary duties or such action or disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law (including its obligations under Rules 14e-2 and 14d-9 under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal and by responding to an Acquisition Proposal under a directors’ circular or otherwise as required under Securities Laws), provided that for greater certainty in the event of a Change of Recommendation and a termination by the Purchaser of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(i), the Company shall pay the

Termination Fee as required by Section 7.3(2). The Board of Directors may not make a Change in Recommendation pursuant to the preceding sentence unless the Company gives the Purchaser at least two business days prior written notice of its intention to make such Change in Recommendation; provided that, for greater certainty, the foregoing limitation shall not apply in respect of any actions taken under Section 7.2(6) after the expiry of the Matching Period. In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Board of Directors from calling and holding a meeting of the Shareholders, or any of them, requisitioned by the Shareholders, or any of them, in accordance with the CBCA or ordered to be held by a court in accordance with applicable Laws.

7.3 Expenses and Termination Fees

(1) The Purchaser shall pay all filing fees payable in connection with the Regulatory Approvals. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall pay all other fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Party in connection with this Agreement and the Arrangement.

(2) If a Termination Fee Event occurs, the Company shall pay as directed by the Purchaser in writing (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.3(3). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Fee” means Cdn$38,500,000, less the amount of any non-resident withholding required by applicable Laws relating to Taxes which is concurrently remitted by the Company to the relevant Governmental Entity in respect of such amount, and “Termination Fee Event” means:

	(a)		the termination of this Agreement pursuant to (i) Section 8.1(1)(c)(i), or (ii) Section 8.1(1)(d)(i), or (iii) any subsection of Section 8.1 if at such time the Purchaser is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(i); or
	(b)		except where a Termination Fee has been paid, (i) the making or announcement or other public disclosure of an Acquisition Proposal, or an Acquisition Proposal otherwise becomes known to the Company or the Board of Directors, after the announcement of the transactions contemplated herein and prior to the termination of this Agreement, (ii) the exercise by the Company or the Purchaser of their respective termination rights under Section 8.1(1)(b)(i) or Section 8.1(1)(b)(iii) or by the Purchaser under Section 8.1(1)(c)(ii), and (iii) an Acquisition Proposal is consummated within a period of nine months from the exercise of such termination rights, or a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal is entered into by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries within such nine-month period; provided, that for the purposes of this paragraph (b), all references to “20%” or “10%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be changed to “50%”.

(3) If a Termination Fee Event occurs in circumstances described in Section 7.3(2)(a)(ii) or due to a termination of this Agreement by the Company in circumstances described in Section 7.3(2)(a)(iii), the Termination Fee shall be paid simultaneously with the occurrence of such Termination Fee Event. If a Termination Fee Event occurs due to a termination of this Agreement by the Purchaser in circumstances described in Section 7.3(2)(a)(i) or (iii), the Termination Fee shall be paid within two business days following such Termination Fee Event. If a Termination Fee Event occurs in the circumstances described in Section 7.3(2)(b), the Termination Fee (less any amounts paid by the Company to the Purchaser under Section 7.3(4)) shall be paid immediately upon the earlier of entry by the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummation of an Acquisition Proposal.

(4) In the event that this Agreement is:

	(a)		terminated pursuant to the exercise by the Purchaser of its rights pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(ii); or
	(b)		terminated pursuant to the exercise (A) by the Company of its termination rights pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(d)(ii) or Section 8.1(1)(d)(iii), in each case if at the time of such termination there is no state of facts or circumstances (other than a state of facts or circumstances caused by a breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser) that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 not to be satisfied on or prior to the Outside Date, or (B) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(b)(i), if at such time the Company would otherwise have been entitled to terminate this Agreement in the circumstances set forth in clause (A), provided that in each case the Marketing Period shall have been completed,

then, (i) in the case of clause (a), in addition to the rights of the Purchaser under Section 7.3(2)(b) (including to any payment thereunder), the Company shall pay to the Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser an amount equal to the Purchaser’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, up to a maximum amount of Cdn$12,000,000 against receipts therefor and (ii) in the case of clause (b), the Purchaser shall pay to the Company by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company an amount equal to Cdn$61,400,000 (the “Break-Up Fee”). In each case, such payment shall be due within two business days of such termination.

(5) In no event shall the Company be required to pay to the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, in the aggregate, an amount in excess of the Termination Fee.

(6) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and that, without those agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that all of the payment amounts set out in this Section 7.3 are payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which the Party entitled to such damages will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such payment and the resultant termination of this Agreement and are not penalties. Each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages are excessive or punitive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company’s right to receive payment of the Break-Up Fee from the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7.3 or the guaranty thereof pursuant to the Guaranty shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its subsidiaries against the Purchaser, the Guarantor and any of their respective former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Purchaser, the Guarantor or any of their respective former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

7.4 Access to Information; Confidentiality Agreement

(1) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, subject to compliance with applicable Law and the terms of any Contract of the Company or its subsidiaries, the Company shall:

	(a)		give to the Purchaser and its representatives (including its financing sources) reasonable access to the offices, properties (including for the purpose of conducting environmental assessments and investigations), books and records, including correspondence with regulators and work papers, of the Company and its subsidiaries; and
	(b)		furnish to the Purchaser and its representatives (including its financing sources) such financial and operating data and other information as such persons may reasonably request.

(2) Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be conducted during normal business hours and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its representatives shall contact officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries except after prior approval of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Vice President, Legal Services and Corporate Secretary, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(3) Notwithstanding Section 7.4(1) or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to provide access to, or to disclose, any information to the Purchaser if the Company reasonably determines that such access or disclosure would violate applicable Law or jeopardize any attorney-client privilege claim by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to put in place an arrangement to permit such disclosure without loss of attorney-client privilege.

(4) For greater certainty, the Purchaser Parties shall treat, and shall cause their respective representatives to treat, all information furnished to them or any of such representatives (including the Lenders and any of their representatives or advisors or any Purchaser Party) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including information furnished pursuant to Section 7.8) in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Purchaser shall be entitled to provide such information to its Lenders and investors in its debt financing and their respective representatives and rating agencies, subject to the confidentiality conditions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company Disclosure Letter and all information contained in it is confidential and shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. However, nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of any person to disclose such information as is required by Law to any Taxing Authority.

7.5 Interim Period Consents

The Purchaser shall, promptly following the date hereof, designate two individuals from either of whom the Company may seek approval to undertake any actions not otherwise permitted to be taken under Section 5.1, and shall ensure that such persons shall respond, on behalf of the Purchaser, to the Company’s requests in an expeditious manner.

7.6 Employee Matters

From and after the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall honour and perform, or cause the Company to honour and perform, all of the obligations of the Company and any of its subsidiaries under any employment or collective bargaining agreements with current or former Company Employees and Company Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time; provided that no provision of this Section 7.6 shall preclude the Company from terminating or amending any Company Plan in accordance with its terms or as may be required by applicable Law nor give any

Company Employees any right to continued employment nor impair in any way the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Company Employees.

7.7 Indemnification and Insurance

(1) From and after the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and to also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law), each present and former director and officer of any of the Company and its subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Proceedings arising out of or related to such Indemnified Person’s service as a director or officer of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or services performed by such persons at the request of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries at or prior to or following the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including the approval or completion of this Agreement and the Arrangement or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or arising out of or related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither the Purchaser nor the Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding involving or naming an Indemnified Person or arising out of or related to an Indemnified Person’s service as a director or officer of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or services performed by such persons at the request of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries at or prior to or following the Effective Time without the prior written consent of that Indemnified Person unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person (which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person) from all liability arising out of such Proceeding.

(2) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and its subsidiaries shall and, if the Company and its subsidiaries are unable to, the Purchaser shall cause the Company and its subsidiaries as of the Effective Time, to obtain and fully pay a single premium for the extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or run-off and extended reporting period and claims reporting period of six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carriers with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”), and with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less advantageous to the Indemnified Persons than the coverage provided under the existing policies of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby). If the Company and its subsidiaries for any reason fail to obtain such “run off” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Company and its subsidiaries shall continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less advantageous than the coverage provided under the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Company shall purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favourable to the Indemnified Persons as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be obligated pursuant to this Section 7.7(2) to obtain or maintain any insurance policies if the annual premium for any such policy exceeds 300% of the premium currently paid by the Company for any such policy.

(3) If any Indemnified Person makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 7.7 that is denied by the Company or the Purchaser, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Person is entitled to such indemnification, then the Company and the Purchaser shall pay such Indemnified Person’s costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with pursuing such claim against the Company or the Purchaser.

(4) The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Persons may have under the constating or other charter or governance documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or under any applicable Law or under any Contract of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 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 in favour of any Indemnified Person as provided in the constating documents of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any Contract between such Indemnified Person and the Company or any of its subsidiaries 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.

(5) If the Company or, following the Effective Time, the Purchaser or any of their successors or assigns shall (a) amalgamate, consolidate with or merge or wind-up into any other person and, if applicable, shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity; or (b) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person or persons, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors, assigns and transferees of the Company or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.7.

(6) The provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Persons, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Company and its successors and assigns, and, for such purpose only, the Company hereby confirms that it is acting as trustee on their behalf.

7.8 Financing Assistance

(1) The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, and use its reasonable best efforts to have its and their Representatives to, provide such cooperation to the Purchaser as the Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the arrangements by the Purchaser to obtain the advance of the debt financing referred to in Section 5.2 as contemplated in the Commitment Letter (provided that (i) to the extent reasonably practicable, such request is made on reasonable notice and reasonably in advance of the proposed commencement of the Marketing Period and/or the date that the Final Order is obtained by the Company, (ii) cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its subsidiaries or unreasonably interfere with or hinder or delay the performance by the Company or its subsidiaries of their obligations hereunder, and (iii) the Company shall not be required to provide, or cause any subsidiaries to provide, cooperation that involves any binding commitment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which commitment is not conditional on the completion of the Arrangement and does not terminate without liability to the Company or its subsidiaries upon the termination of this Agreement), including as so requested:

7.9 Repayment of Existing Indebtedness

(1) The Company shall repay all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility in full in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility, and shall cause all security interests granted under the Senior Credit Facility and any related agreements to be released in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility and such agreements, in each case on the Effective Date, immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(2) As soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of any written request by the Purchaser to do so, the Company shall make an offer to purchase and, if requested by the Purchaser, consent solicitation with respect to all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes on such terms and conditions as shall be specified, from time to time, by the Purchaser in writing (including the related consent solicitation, if any, the “Debt Tender Offer”), such offer to close immediately prior to the Effective Time, conditional on all of the conditions to the completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement set forth in Article VI being satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement. The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, and use its reasonable best efforts to have its and their Representatives to, provide such cooperation to the Purchaser as the Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the Debt Tender Offer. The dealer manager, solicitation agent, information agent, depositary or other agent retained in connection with the Debt Tender Offer shall be selected by the Purchaser and the Company shall enter into customary agreements with such parties so selected and on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and the Company. The Company shall not, without the consent of the Purchaser, waive any condition to the Debt Tender Offer or make any changes to the Debt Tender Offer other than as agreed between the Purchaser and the Company. The Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to complete the purchase of all Senior Subordinated Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Debt Tender Offer (and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiry of such offer) (the “Tendered Notes”) on the Effective Date, immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, if applicable, subject to the receipt of the requisite consents, paying for consents validly delivered pursuant to the Debt Tender Offer (and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiry of such offer).

(3) If requested by the Purchaser in writing on a timely basis, in lieu of commencing a Debt Tender Offer (or in addition thereto), the Company shall (a) notify the Trustee (as defined in the Senior Notes Indenture) in accordance with Section 1103 of the Senior Notes Indenture of the Company’s intention to redeem any or all of the issued and outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes on the Effective Date and take any other actions reasonably requested by the Purchaser to redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes on the Effective Date, immediately prior to the Effective Time and/or (b) take any actions reasonably requested by the Purchaser that are reasonably necessary to facilitate the satisfaction and/or discharge of any or all of the Senior Subordinated Notes pursuant to the applicable section of the Senior Notes Indenture, and shall redeem or satisfy and/or discharge, as applicable, any or all of the Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes Indenture on the Effective Date, immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(4) The Purchaser agrees to loan sufficient funds to the Company to enable the Company to (a) repay all amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility in full, (b) purchase all Tendered Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Debt Tender Offer and, if applicable, subject to receipt of the requisite consents, pay for consents validly delivered and not revoked in accordance with the Debt Tender Offer, and (c) pay all amounts required to redeem, satisfy and/or discharge any Senior Subordinated Notes, in each case as contemplated by this Section 7.9.

prior to the Effective Time and shall be evidenced by the issuance of a demand promissory note, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parties, by the Company to the Purchaser.

(5) If this Agreement is terminated other than pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(i), Section 8.1(1)(c)(ii) or Section 8.1(1)(d)(i), the Purchaser shall promptly upon request by the Company reimburse the Company and its subsidiaries for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including legal fees) incurred by the Company or its subsidiaries and their respective advisors, agents and representatives in connection with any actions contemplated by this Section 7.9.

7.10 Cooperation Regarding Reorganization

(1) Subject to Section 7.10(3), the Company shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to implement the Pre-Closing Reorganization no later than one business day prior to the Effective Date (unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser) and shall cooperate with the Purchaser in structuring, planning and implementing any reorganization (including for Tax purposes) of their respective capital, assets and corporate structure or such other planning as the Purchaser may request, acting reasonably (an “Additional Reorganization”).

(2) The Purchaser shall indemnify and save harmless the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ 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 Reorganization.

(3) The obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 7.10(1) are conditional on the following:

	(a)		any Reorganization shall not become effective unless the Purchaser shall have waived or confirmed in writing the satisfaction of all conditions in its favour in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 and shall have confirmed in writing that it is prepared to promptly without condition (other than the satisfaction of the condition contemplated by Section 6.2(a)) proceed to effect the Arrangement;
	(b)		the Purchaser shall fully indemnify the Company and its subsidiaries for the implementation costs and any direct or indirect costs and liabilities, including actual out-of-pocket costs, Taxes and loss of tax attributes, that may be incurred as a result of, or to unwind, a Reorganization if this Agreement is terminated other than pursuant to Section 8.1(1)(c)(i), Section 8.1(1)(c)(ii) or Section 8.1(1)(d)(i), which indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to pay to the Company any amounts under this Section 7.10(3) in the event the Break-Up Fee is paid;
	(c)		any Reorganization shall not materially delay, impair or impede the completion of the Arrangement or the ability of the Purchaser to obtain any financing required by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

each case as the Company shall agree, acting reasonably, are necessary or advisable in the circumstances);

	(f)		any Reorganization shall not require the Company or any subsidiary to contravene any applicable Laws, their respective organizational documents or any Material Contract; and
	(g)		the Company and its subsidiaries shall not be obligated to take any action that could result in any Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, any securityholder of the Company incrementally greater than the Taxes or other consequences to such party in connection with the consummation of the Arrangement in the absence of any Reorganization.

(4) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the planning for and implementation of any Reorganization shall not be considered a breach of any covenant under this Agreement and shall not be considered in determining whether a representation or warranty of the Company hereunder has been breached. The Purchaser and the Company shall work cooperatively and use reasonable best efforts to prepare prior to the Effective Time all documentation necessary and do such other acts and things as are necessary to give effect to such Reorganization.

9.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process

(1) This Agreement shall be governed, including as to validity, interpretation and effect, by the Laws of the Province of British Columbia and the Laws of Canada applicable therein, and shall be construed and treated in all respects as a British Columbia contract. The Parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provisions of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any court of the Province of British Columbia, and each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 9.1 shall be deemed effective service.

(2) The Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates Blake, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (in such capacity, the “Process Agent”), with an office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, for and on its behalf, service of process in such jurisdiction in any legal action or proceedings with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and such service shall be deemed complete upon delivery thereof to the Process Agent; provided that in the case of any such service upon the Process Agent, the Party effecting such service shall also deliver a copy thereof to the Purchaser in the manner provided in Section 9.1. The Purchaser shall take all such action as may be necessary to continue said appointment in full force and effect or to appoint another agent so that the Purchaser shall at all times have an agent for service of process for the above purposes in the Province of British Columbia. In the event of the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Process Agent to any other entity by consolidation, merger, sale of assets or otherwise, such other entity shall be substituted hereunder for the Process Agent with the same effect as if named herein in place of Blake, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by applicable Law. The Purchaser expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is intended to be irrevocable under all applicable Laws.

9.3 Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance

The Parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Company in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the Company or to otherwise obtain specific performance by the Company of any such provisions, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief hereby being waived. The Parties agree that the Company shall not be entitled to an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this

Agreement by the Purchaser or to otherwise obtain specific performance by the Purchaser of any such provisions.

9.4 No Recourse

This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto, or against the Guarantor under and to the extent set forth in the Guaranty, and no past, present or future affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney or representative of any Party hereto (other than the Guarantor (to the extent set forth in the Guaranty)) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.5 Time of Essence

Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

9.6 Entire Agreement, Binding Effect and Assignment

This Agreement shall be binding on and shall enure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement (including the exhibits and Schedules hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.

9.7 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

9.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries

     Except as provided in Section 2.4(5), Section 7.7(6) and Section 7.10(2) which, without limiting their terms, are intended as stipulations for the benefit of the third persons mentioned therein, and except for the rights of the holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares to receive the Consideration following the Effective Time pursuant to the Arrangement (for which purpose the Company hereby confirms that it is acting as agent on behalf of the holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares), this Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Parties to this Agreement. The Purchaser appoints the Company as the trustee for the applicable directors, officers and employees of the Company with respect to such individuals specified in Section 2.4(5), Section 7.7(6) and Section 7.10(2) and the Company accepts such appointment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Purchaser and the Company agrees that the stipulations for the benefit of third persons set out in Section 2.4(5), Section 7.7(6) and Section 7.10(2) shall not be revoked, and that acceptance by such third

persons of such stipulations shall be deemed to have occurred, without prejudice to their right to accept in any other manner, through the fulfilment of their respective duties and functions with the Company or its subsidiaries until the end of the business day following the execution of this Agreement, it being an essential condition of this Agreement that the persons intended to be beneficiaries of such stipulations shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies available to them thereunder and under applicable Law.

9.9 Rules of Construction

The Parties to this Agreement waive the application of any applicable Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or other document.

9.10 No Liability

No director or officer of the Purchaser Parties shall have any personal liability whatsoever to the Company under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby on behalf of the Purchaser Parties. No director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall have any personal liability whatsoever to the Purchaser Parties under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

9.11 Counterparts, Execution

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties shall be entitled to rely upon delivery of an executed facsimile or similar executed electronic copy of this Agreement, and such facsimile or similar executed electronic copy shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the Parties.

9.12 Amendments

This Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement may, at any time and from time to time before or after the holding of the Company Meeting but not later than the Effective Time, be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties, subject to the Interim Order and Final Order and applicable Laws.

[Remainder of page intentionally left blank.]

On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Depositary shall deliver, on behalf of the Company, to each person who immediately before the Effective Time was a holder of Options, PSUs and SARs, as reflected on the register or accounts maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of Options, PSUs and SARs as provided to the Depositary, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the cash payment, if any, which such holder of Options, PSUs and SARs is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(7), Section 3.1(8) and Section 3.1(9), respectively, less any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Section 5.3.

	(5)		Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary on behalf of the Company or the Purchaser pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement that has not been deposited or has been returned to the Depositary or that otherwise remains unclaimed, in each case, on or before the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature and the right of the holder to receive the consideration for the Shares, Options, PSUs or the SARs, as the case may be, pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Purchaser for no consideration.
	(6)		No holder of Shares, Options, PSUs or SARs shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to such securities other than any cash payment to which such holder is entitled to receive in accordance with Article III 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 Class A Shares and/or the Class B 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 Shares.

5.2 Lost Certificates

When authorizing such payment in exchange for any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the person to whom such cash is to be delivered shall, as a condition precedent to the delivery of such cash, give a bond satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as the Purchaser may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser and the Company in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Company, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

5.3 Withholding Rights

The Purchaser, the Company and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any person under this Plan of Arrangement (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.1), such amounts as the Purchaser or the Company determines, acting reasonably, are required or permitted to be deducted or withheld with respect to such payment under the Tax Act, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of any other applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to such person as the remainder of the payment in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

5.4 Letter of Transmittal

At the time of mailing of the Company Circular or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Company shall forward to each holder of Shares at the address of such holder as it appears on the register maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the holders of Shares a Letter of Transmittal.

Redemption at Option of Amalco

Such notice shall be mailed in a prepaid envelope addressed to each such shareholder at such shareholder’s address as it appears on the books of Amalco or, in the event of the address of any such shareholder not so appearing, then to the last known address of such shareholder, provided however, that accidental failure or omission to give any such notice to one or more of such holders shall not affect the validity of such redemption. Such notice shall set out the redemption price of the shares to be redeemed and the date on which redemption is to take place and, if part only of the Preferred Shares held by the person to whom notice is given is to be redeemed, the number thereof so to be redeemed.

	(iii)		Redemption Procedure — Upon receipt of such request and share certificates, Amalco shall, on the redemption date, redeem such shares by paying to such registered holder an amount equal to the redemption price plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Such payment shall be made by cheque payable at any branch in Canada of one of Amalco’s bankers for the time being. If a part only of the Preferred Shares represented by any certificates are redeemed, a new certificate for the balance shall be issued by Amalco.
	(iv)		Cessation of Rights — The Preferred Shares shall be redeemed on the redemption date and thereafter such shares shall cease to be entitled to dividends and the holders thereof shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof, unless payment of the redemption price plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon is not made on the redemption date, in which case the rights of the holders of such shares shall remain unaffected.

(f)

Distribution Rights

part of the assets of Amalco among the holders of the common shares, an amount equal to the redemption price of such shares plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon and no more.

No Shareholder is entitled to any pre-emptive or other similar right granted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or ACN. There are no outstanding contractual or other obligations of the Company, any subsidiary or ACN to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of its securities or with respect to the voting or disposition of any outstanding securities of a subsidiary or ACN, except with respect to the Ordinary Shares as provided for in the Company’s articles and/or the Shareholders’ Agreement.

The Company is, directly or indirectly, the record and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each of the subsidiaries and of ACN, free and clear of any Liens other than Liens securing indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility. All of such shares and other equity interests so owned directly or indirectly by the Company are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (and no such shares or other equity interests have been issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights).

(g)		Securities Laws Matters.

	(i)		The Company is a “reporting issuer” and not on the list of reporting issuers in default under applicable Canadian Securities Laws in each of the provinces of Canada in which such concept exists and is not in default of any material requirements of any Securities Laws. No delisting, suspension of trading in or cease trading order with respect to any securities of the Company and, to the knowledge of the Company, no inquiry or investigation (formal or informal) of any Securities Authority, is pending, in effect or ongoing or threatened or expected to be implemented or undertaken. The documents comprising the Company Filings comply as filed or furnished, or shall comply when filed or furnished, in all material respects with the requirements of applicable Securities Laws, and, except as disclosed in the Company’s press release dated January 23, 2008, did not at the time filed with or furnished to, and shall not at any time filed with or furnished to, the Securities Authorities, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. The Company has timely filed with the Securities Authorities all material forms, reports, schedules, certifications, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company with the Securities Authorities since April 30, 2007, where the failure to timely file would individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not filed any confidential material change report with the Securities Authorities which at the date hereof remains confidential.
	(ii)		The principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company have made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act”), and the Company has made all statements required by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act , with respect to the Company’s Filings pursuant to the 1934 Act since the enactment thereof and all such certifications and statements are correct and complete. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act. The Company is otherwise in material compliance with all applicable provisions of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act.

	(iii)		The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act).

(the “Equity Sponsor”) in favour of the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Lenders, in the case of the Commitment Letter, and the Equity Sponsor, in the case of the Equity Commitment Letter, have committed to provide the Purchaser with debt and equity financing in the amounts of US$850,000,000 and Cdn$1,643,000,000, respectively, subject to the terms thereof.

Assuming the financing contemplated in the Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter is funded, the net proceeds contemplated by the Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter shall in the aggregate be sufficient for the Purchaser to pay the aggregate Consideration to be paid pursuant to the Arrangement and any other amounts required to be paid by the Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay all related fees and expenses.
