the Board of Directors first determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute or lead to a Superior Proposal, and, after consultation with its outside legal advisors, that the failure to engage in such discussions or negotiations would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties;

(a)

the Board of Directors shall review in good faith any offer made by the Purchaser under Section 6.4(1)(f) to amend the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement in order to determine whether such proposal would, upon acceptance, result in the Acquisition Proposal previously constituting a Superior Proposal ceasing to be a Superior Proposal; and

(b)

the Company shall negotiate in good faith with the Purchaser to make such amendments to the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement as would enable the Purchaser to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such amended terms.

Each successive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal that results in an increase in, or modification of, the consideration (or value of such consideration) to be received by the securityholders of the Company or other material terms or conditions thereof shall constitute a new Acquisition Proposal for the purposes of this Section 6.4, and the Purchaser shall be afforded a new four (4) Business Day Matching Period from the later of the date on which the Purchaser received the Superior Proposal Notice and a copy of the proposed definitive agreement for the new Superior Proposal from the Company.

(4)

The Board of Directors shall promptly reaffirm the Board Recommendation by press release after any Acquisition Proposal which is not determined to be a Superior Proposal is publicly announced or the Board of Directors determines that a proposed amendment to the terms of this Agreement as contemplated under Section 6.4(2) would result in an Acquisition Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal. The Company shall provide the Purchaser and its outside legal advisors with a reasonable opportunity to review the form and content of any such press release and shall make all reasonable amendments to such press release as requested by the Purchaser and its counsel.

If the Company fails to pay the Break Fee when due hereunder, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Purchaser commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for such amount, the Company shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such suit. If the Purchaser fails to pay the Reverse Break Fee when due hereunder, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Purchaser for such amount, the Purchaser shall pay the reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by the Company in connection with such suit.

- 57 -

(5)

Any Break Fee or Reverse Break Fee payable pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be paid free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes, unless such deduction or withholding is required by law. If a Party is required by applicable laws to deduct or withhold any Taxes from any payment of a Break Fee or Reverse Break Fee:

(a)

the amount payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to, and taking into account all Taxes on, or arising by reason of, the payment of additional amounts under this Section 8.3(5)), the Party to which the payment is due receives an amount equal to the amount that it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been required;

(b)

the paying Party shall make such required deductions or withholdings; and

(c)

the paying Party shall remit the full amount deducted or withheld to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws.

(6)

Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that the Break Fee and the Reverse Break Fee set out in this Section 8.3 are payments of liquidated damages which are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages which the Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, 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. Each Party agrees that the payment of the Break Fee or Reverse Break Fee, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 8.3 is the sole monetary remedy of such Party in respect of the event giving rise to the payment (subject to Section 8.3(4)). The Parties shall also have the right to injunctive relief and other equitable relief in accordance with Section 9.2 to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement. For greater certainty, the Company shall not be required to pay the Break Fee more than once.

Section 8.4 Notice and Effect of Termination

(1)

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 (other than pursuant to Section 8.2(a)) shall give notice of such termination to the other Party setting out in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances giving rise to such Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.2.

(2)	If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any Party (or any shareholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Party hereto, except that:

- 58 -

(a)

the provisions of this Section 8.4, Section 2.4(5) and (6), Section 7.3, Section 8.3, Section 8.5 and Article 9 shall survive any termination pursuant to Section 8.1; and

(b)

neither the termination of this Agreement nor, anything contained in this Section 8.4(1) shall relieve any Party of any liability for any breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Expenses

Unless otherwise specified herein, all out-of-pocket third party transaction expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, including all costs, expenses and fees of the Company incurred prior to or after the Effective Date in connection with, or incidental to, the Plan of Arrangement, shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Arrangement is consummated.

Section 8.6 Waiver

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar) or a future waiver of the same provisions, nor, shall such waiver be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable laws.

Section 8.7 Amendments

This Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by mutual written agreement of the Parties. 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 the Final Order and applicable law, and any such amendment may, without limitation:

Section 9.2 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 or the Purchaser in accordance with their

- 61 -

specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to specific performance, an injunction or injunctions and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party or their representatives or to otherwise obtain specific performance by the other Party 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.

(2)

Despite the foregoing, the Purchaser acknowledges to each of the Indemnified Persons their direct rights against it under Section 7.1 and Section 2.4(6) respectively of this Agreement, which are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person, his or her heirs and his or her legal representatives, and for such purpose, the Company confirms that it is acting as trustee on their behalf, and agrees to enforce such provisions on their behalf.

Section 9.6 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 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.

CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENTS

5.1 Payment of Consideration

(a)

Prior to the filing of the Articles of Arrangement the Purchaser shall deposit, or arrange to be deposited, for the benefit of holders of Shares and for the benefit of holders of Options, cash with the Depositary in the aggregate amount equal to the payments in respect thereof required by this Plan of Arrangement, with the amount per Share in respect of which Dissent Rights have been exercised being deemed to be the Common Share Consideration for this purpose (less any amounts which Acquiror is entitled to withdraw or deduct in accordance with Section 5.3), for the benefit of the holders of Shares and Options. The cash deposited with the Depositary by or on behalf of the Purchaser shall be held in an interest bearing account, and any interest earned on such funds shall be for the account of the Purchaser.

(b)

Upon the surrender to the Depositary for cancellation of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares that were transferred, or deemed to be transferred, pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) together with a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal and such

B-8

additional documents and instruments as the Depositary may reasonably require, the holder of the Shares represented by such surrendered certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor from the Depositary, and the Depositary shall deliver to such holder as soon as practicable, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the Common Share Consideration which such holder has the right to receive under the Arrangement for such Shares, less any amounts withheld or deducted pursuant to Section 5.3, and any certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(c)

Until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by Section 5.1(a), each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares shall be deemed after the time specified in Section 3.1(b) to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a cash payment in lieu of such certificate as contemplated in Section 3.1(b)(ii) or Section 4.1, as the case may be, less any amounts withheld or deducted pursuant to Section 5.3. Any such certificate formerly representing Shares not duly surrendered on or before the day prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date shall cease to represent a claim by or interest of any former holder of Shares of any kind or nature against or in the Company or the Acquiror. On such date, all cash to which such former holder was entitled shall be deemed to have been surrendered to the Acquiror immediately prior to the application of any applicable laws pertaining to unclaimed property then in effect including, pursuant to the Unclaimed Personal Property and Vested Property Act (Alberta), the Unclaimed Property Act (British Columbia), the Public Curator Act (Québec) or other analogous legislation.

(d)

On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Depositary shall deliver, on behalf of the Company, to each Former Optionholder in respect of his or her Options, a cheque (or other form of immediately available funds) representing the Option Consideration, if any, which such Former Optionholder is entitled to receive in connection with the exchange described in Section 3.1(a), less any amounts withheld or deducted pursuant to Section 5.3.

(e)

Any payment made by way of cheque by the Depositary on behalf of the Company or the Acquiror 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 the third anniversary of the Effective Time, and any right or claim to payment hereunder that remains outstanding on the third anniversary of the Effective Time, shall, and any certificates, instruments or other documents previously evidencing ownership of Shares or Options outstanding on such day, shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature, and the right of the holder to receive any consideration for the Shares or Options formerly held by such Person pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to the Acquiror for no consideration.

B-9

(f)

No holder of Shares shall be entitled to receive any consideration with respect to any Shares other than any cash payment which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or Section 4.1, as applicable, and Section 5.1(b) 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 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.

(g)

Subject to the rights of Dissenting Shareholders set out in this Plan of Arrangement, the right of each Former Shareholder and Former Optionholder to receive cash payment under this Arrangement shall be satisfied only out of the amounts deposited with the Depositary and payable by the Depositary pursuant to this Article 4, and no such Former Shareholder or Former Optionholder shall have any further right or claim as against the Purchaser, the Acquiror or the Company or any of their respective successors.

5.2 Lost Certificates

In the event that any certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Shares that were transferred pursuant to Section 3.1(b) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Depositary will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, cash deliverable in accordance with such holder’s Letter of Transmittal (including the certificate of loss). 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, the Acquiror and the Depositary (acting reasonably) in such sum as the Purchaser may direct, or otherwise indemnify the Purchaser, the Acquiror and the Company in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser, the Acquiror and the Company, acting reasonably, against any claim that may be made against the Purchaser, the Acquiror and the Company with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

5.3 Withholding Rights

The Purchaser, the Acquiror, the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable to any Person under this Plan of Arrangement (including without limitation any payments pursuant to Section 4.1) such amounts as any of the Purchaser, the Acquiror or the Company determines, acting reasonably, are required 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, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and are remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

B-10

5.4 Letter of Transmittal

At the time of mailing of the Company Circular or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall forward a Letter of Transmittal 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.

5.5 Tax Election

The Parties acknowledge that no deduction will be claimed by the Company in respect of any payment made to a holder of Options in respect of the Options pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement who is a resident of Canada or who is employed in Canada (both within the meaning of the Tax Act), in computing the Parties’ taxable income under the Tax Act, and the Company shall timely elect in accordance with subsection 110(1.1) of the Tax Act in respect of all Options acquired by the Company for cancellation under the Plan of Arrangement and provide evidence in writing of such election to each Former Optionholder.
