8. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each affiliate of any Agent which assists such Agent in the distribution of the Securities and each person, if any, who controls any Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all losses (other than loss of profits), claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, the legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Canadian Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent.

In no event shall the indemnity provided in this Section 8 enure to the benefit of any person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Each Agent agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person

who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, its officers, employees, agents and affiliates to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Agent, but only with reference to information relating to such Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Canadian Prospectus and the U.S. Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Time of Sale Information.

If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the first or third paragraphs of this Section 8, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding and all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons. Any such separate firm for the Agents, each affiliate of any Agent which assists such Agent in the distribution of the Securities and such control persons of Agents shall be designated in writing by the first of the named Agents on Schedule II hereto and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Canadian Prospectus or the Registration Statement and such control persons of the Company or authorized representatives shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel for which the Indemnified Person is entitled to be reimbursed in accordance with this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into

more than 30 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request, and (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

If the indemnification provided for in the first and third paragraphs of this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand from the offering of the Securities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the aggregate fee payable by the Company to the Agents bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Agents and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, in no event shall an Agent be required to contribute any amount in excess of such

aggregate fee or any portion of such fee actually received. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Agents’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in the percentages set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto, and not joint.

The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any person controlling any Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any other person controlling the Company, and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

9. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, any Agent (each, a “Terminating Agent”) may, in its absolute discretion, terminate its obligations under this Agreement, by notice given to the Company and RBC (or, if RBC is the Terminating Agent, to the Company and BMO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Inc. (“BMO”)), if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, either of the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange, (ii) trading of any securities of or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or in Canada by the Canadian federal or provincial authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred, developed or come into effect any event, action, state, condition, or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence or any law or regulation, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of that Terminating Agent is material and adverse to the financial markets in Canada or the United States or (v) there shall have occurred a Material Adverse Effect and (b) the occurrence of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (v) above, makes it, in the judgment of that Terminating Agent impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectuses.

The rights of termination contained in this Section 9 may be exercised by any of the Agents and are in addition to any other rights or remedies any of the Agents may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act or non-compliance by the Company in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. In the event of any such termination, there shall be no further liability on the part of the Terminating Agent to the Company or on the part of the Company to the Terminating Agent except in

respect of any liability which may have arisen prior to or arise after such termination under Sections 8 and 10 (and, for clarity, the Terminating Agent will not be entitled to any portion of the fee payable by the Company pursuant to Section 3). A notice of termination given by an Agent under this Section 9 shall not be binding upon any other Agent.

Upon the delivery of a notice of termination by either RBC or BMO under this Section 9, the Company may, in its absolute discretion, proceed with the sale of Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with the remaining Agents or terminate this Agreement.

10. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Agents, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the Agents’ obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Company agrees to reimburse the Agents or such Agents as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Agents in connection with this Agreement or the offering of Securities. The Agents or such Agents as have so terminated this Agreement will provide the Company with invoices in respect of any such out-of-pocket expenses to be reimbursed.

11. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, and each Agent, and to the extent provided for in Section 8, each person referred to in such section, and in each case, their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

12. RBC is hereby authorized by each of the other Agents to act on its behalf and the Company shall be entitled to and shall act on any notice given in accordance with this Section 12 or agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Agents by RBC which represents and warrants that it has irrevocable authority to bind the Agents, except in respect of any consent to a settlement pursuant to Section 8, which consent shall be given by the Indemnified Party, or a notice of termination pursuant to Section 9, which notice may be given by any of the Agents. RBC shall consult with the other Agents concerning any matter in respect of which it acts as representative of the Agents. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Agents shall be given on their behalf to RBC Dominion Securities Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ (Facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇); Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. If RBC is the Terminating Agent, notices shall be given to BMO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Inc., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ (Facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇); Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Notices to the Company shall be given to it at 510

W. Georgia St., ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ (Facsimile: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇); Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

13. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and delivered by facsimile or other electronically transmitted format, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

NORTON ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ CANADA LLP

We have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the Company’s auditors and of the Agents, representatives of the Company’s U.S. counsel and representatives of the Agents’ Canadian and U.S. counsel, at which the contents of the U.S. Prospectus and related matters were discussed. Although we did not participate in the preparation of the documents and information incorporated by reference in the U.S. Prospectus, we have reviewed such documents and information.

We have not made any independent investigation or verification of and are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in or incorporated by reference in the U.S. Prospectus (other than such conclusions of law as to which an opinion has been separately delivered to you). As the determination of materiality or whether a fact is a material fact under the Securities Act (Ontario) is a factual and not a legal matter requiring expertise on the effect which information would have on market prices or values of securities of the Company, we have accordingly relied as to materiality, to a large extent, on the opinions of officers and other representatives of the Company.

On the basis of the information which we gained in the course of the performance of our role as Canadian counsel to the Company in respect of the offering of the Securities, no facts have come to our attention in the course of our review and discussions in connection with the offering of the Securities that have caused us to believe that the U.S. Prospectus (excluding the financial statements and other financial and statistical information included or incorporated by reference therein or derived therefrom, the reports of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and the auditors’ report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, on which we do not comment) as of December 3, 2015 and the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact within the meaning of the Securities Act (Ontario) or omitted or omits to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances in which it was made.

1. The issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Agency Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not violate those laws, rules and regulations of the United States of America and the State of New York (“Applicable Law”), in each case which in our experience are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Agency Agreement or any judgment, order or decree of any New York or federal court or governmental authority binding upon the Company listed on a schedule to this opinion. For purposes of this letter, the term “Applicable Law” does not include federal securities laws (except for purposes of the opinion expressed in paragraph 2 below) or state securities laws, other anti-fraud laws, or any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company, the Indenture, the Securities, the Agency Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to the Agency Agreement or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

2. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made is required by the Company under any Applicable Law or under any judgment, order or decree listed on a schedule to this opinion for the issuance and sale of the Securities by the Company, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Agency Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder. For purposes of this letter, the term “Governmental Authority” means any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America.

3. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities, and the application of their proceeds as described in the Time of Sale Information and the U.S. Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” will not be, required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

4. The statements in the Time of Sale Information and the U.S. Prospectus under the heading “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” to the extent that they constitute summaries of United States federal law or regulation or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by us and fairly summarize the matters described under that heading in all material respects.

5. The Registration Statement, the Form F-X and the U.S. Prospectus, as of their respective effective or issue times, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act, except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from any of them, as to which we express no opinion. We have assumed, for purposes of this

paragraph, the compliance of the Canadian Prospectus with the requirements of British Columbia securities laws, as interpreted and applied by the British Columbia Securities Commission. We understand that such matters are covered in the opinion of Norton ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Canada LLP furnished to you today.
