In the event that the Corporation determines to issue Rights Certificates, rights may be exercised in whole or in part on any Business Day after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time by submitting to the Rights Agent the Rights Certificate evidencing those Rights together with an election to exercise those Rights (an “Election to Exercise”) substantially in the form attached to the Rights Certificate duly completed and executed, accompanied by payment by certified cheque, banker’s draft or money order payable to the order of the Rights Agent, of a (a) sum equal to (i) the Exercise Price multiplied by (ii) the number of Rights being exercised and (b) a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates or the issue or delivery of certificates for Common Shares in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being exercised, all of the above to be received before the Expiration Time by the Rights Agent at its principal office in any of the cities listed on the Rights Certificate.

Duties of Rights Agent upon receipt of Election to Exercise. In the event that the Corporation determines to issue Rights Certificates, then upon receipt of a Rights Certificate that is accompanied by (i) a completed and duly executed Election to Exercise, and (ii) payment, the Rights Agent (unless otherwise instructed by the Corporation) will promptly:

requisition certificates representing the number of Common Shares to be purchased from the transfer agent for the Common Shares (the Corporation hereby irrevocably authorizing its transfer agent to comply with all such requisitions);

when appropriate, requisition from the Corporation the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuing fractional Common Shares;

after receipt of the share certificates, deliver them to or upon the order of the holder of the Rights, registered in such name or names as may be designated by that holder;

after receipt of the cash, if applicable, deliver it (less any amounts required to be withheld) to or to the order of the holder of the Rights; and

tender to the Corporation all payments received on exercise of the Rights.

Partial Exercise of Rights. If a holder of Rights exercises less than all of the Rights evidenced by that holder’s Rights Certificate, the Rights Agents shall issue a new Rights Certificate evidencing the Rights remaining unexercised to that holder or to that holder’s duly authorized assigns.

Duties of the Corporation. The Corporation shall:

take all such action as may be necessary and within its power to ensure that all Common Shares delivered upon exercise of Rights will, at the time of delivery of the certificates for these securities (subject to payment of the Exercise Price), be duly and validly authorized, executed, issued and delivered and fully paid and non-assessable;

take all such action as may be necessary and within its power to ensure compliance with Sections 2.2 and 3.1 including, without limitation, all such action to comply with any applicable requirements of the CBCA, the Securities Act and any comparable legislation of any other applicable jurisdiction and any other applicable law, rule or regulation, in connection with the issue and delivery of the Rights Certificates and the issue of any Common Shares upon exercise of Rights;

use reasonable efforts to cause, from and after such time as the Rights become exercisable, all Common Shares issued upon exercise of Rights to be listed upon issue on the principal stock exchange on which the Common Shares were traded prior to the Stock Acquisition Date;

cause to be reserved and kept available out of its authorized and unissued Common Shares, the number of Common Shares that, as provided in this Agreement, will from time to time be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights;

pay when due and payable all Canadian federal and provincial transfer taxes and charges (not including any income or capital taxes of the holder or exercising holder or any liability of the Corporation to withhold tax) that may be payable in respect of the original issue or delivery of the Rights Certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any transfer tax or charge that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates or the issue or delivery of certificates for Common Shares, Shares or other securities in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being transferred or exercised; and

after the Separation Time, except as permitted by Sections 5.1 or 5.4, not take (or permit any Subsidiary to take) any action if, at the time that action is taken, it is reasonably foreseeable that it will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.

Common Shares. Subject to Sections 2.3 and 3.1(a), a Right issued to a holder of a Common Share will represent the right to acquire one Common Share per Common Share so held. If a Common Share is redeemed or is purchased for cancellation prior to the Separation Time, its accompanying Right will be deemed to have been purchased for cancellation.

Adjustments to Exercise Price; Number of Rights.

Adjustment to Exercise Price upon changes to share capital. If the Corporation at any time after the Effective Date:

declares or pays a dividend on the Common Shares payable in Shares (or other securities exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Shares or other securities), or other securities in lieu of, but not in an amount that exceeds the value of, regular periodic cash dividends;

subdivides or changes the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares;

combines or changes the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; or

issues any Shares (or other securities exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Shares or other securities) or other securities in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange for existing Common Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3;

Adjustment to Exercise Price upon issue of rights, options and warrants. If the Corporation, at any time after the Effective Date, fixes a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after that record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or instruments having the same rights, privileges and preferences as Common Shares (“equivalent shares”) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to purchase Common Shares or equivalent shares at a price per share (or having a conversion price or exchange price or exercise price per share, if a security convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to purchase Common Shares or equivalent shares) less than ninety 90% of the Market Price per share on that record date, the Exercise Price in effect after that record date will be determined by multiplying (i) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to that record date by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which (A) will be (x) the number of Common Shares outstanding on that record date, plus (y) the number of Common Shares that the aggregate offering price of the Common Shares or equivalent shares so to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion, exchange or exercise price of the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered, including the price required to be paid to purchase those convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered) would purchase at that Market Price per share, and the denominator of which (B) will be (x) the number of Common Shares outstanding on that record date, plus (y) the number of additional Common Shares or equivalent shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities are initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable).

Adjustment to Exercise Price upon Corporate Distributions. If the Corporation at any time after the Effective Date fixes a record date for a distribution to all holders of Common Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a merger, amalgamation, arrangement, plan, compromise or reorganization in which the Corporation is the continuing or successor Corporation) of evidences of indebtedness, cash (other than a regular periodic cash dividend or a regular periodic cash dividend paid in Common Shares, but including any dividend payable in securities other than Common Shares), assets or subscription rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in Section 2.3(b)), the Exercise Price in effect after that record date will be determined by multiplying (i) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to that record date by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which (A) will be the Market Price per share on that record date, less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent) of the portion of the cash, assets or evidences of indebtedness so to be distributed or of such subscription rights, options or warrants applicable to a Common Share and the denominator of which (B) will be that Market Price per share. Such adjustments will be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and if such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price will be adjusted to be the Exercise Price that would have been in effect if that record date had not been fixed.

De minimis threshold for adjustment to Exercise Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment in the Exercise Price will be made unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 2.3(d) are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 2.3 will be to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a Common Share.

Corporation may provide for alternate means of adjustment. Subject to prior consent of the holders of Common Shares or Rights obtained as set forth in Sections 5.4(c) or 5.4(d), as applicable, if the Corporation at any time after the Effective Date issues any Shares (other than Common Shares), or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any Shares, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any Shares, in a transaction referred to in Sections 2.3(a)(i), 2.3(a)(iv), 2.3(b) or 2.3(c), and if the Board of Directors acting in good faith determines that the adjustments contemplated by Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(b), and 2.3(c) in connection with such transaction will not appropriately protect the interests of the holders of Rights, the Corporation may determine what other adjustments to the Exercise Price, number of Rights or securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights would be appropriate and, notwithstanding Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(b) and 2.3(c), such adjustments, rather than the adjustments contemplated by Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(b) and 2.3(c), will be made. The Corporation and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement accordingly.

Rights to evidence right to purchase Common Shares at adjusted Exercise Price. Each Right originally issued by the Corporation subsequent to any adjustment made to the Exercise Price hereunder will evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Common Shares purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of that Right, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

Adjustment to number of Common Shares purchasable upon adjustment to Exercise Price. Unless the Corporation exercises its election as provided in Section 2.3(h), upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price as a result of the calculations made in Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(c), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of that adjustment will thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Common Shares (calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th) obtained by (i) multiplying (A) the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (B) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to that adjustment of the Exercise Price, and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Exercise Price in effect immediately after that adjustment of the Exercise Price.

Election to adjust number of Rights upon adjustment to Exercise Price. The Corporation may, on or after the date of any adjustment of the Exercise Price, adjust the number of Rights, in lieu of any adjustment in the number of Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Right. Each Right outstanding after the

Rights Certificates may contain Exercise Price before adjustment. Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates therefor and thereafter issued may continue to express the Exercise Price per share and the number of Common Shares that were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder.

Corporation may in certain cases defer issues of securities. In any case in which this Section 2.3 requires that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of that event the issue to the holder of any Rights exercised after that record date the number of Common Shares, if any, issuable upon exercise over and above the number of Common Shares, if any, issuable upon exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to that adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to that holder an appropriate instrument evidencing the holder’s right to receive additional Common Shares (fractional or otherwise) upon the occurrence of the event requiring that adjustment.

Corporation has discretion to reduce Exercise Price for tax reasons. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.3 to the contrary, the Corporation may make such reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 2.3, as and to the extent that in their good faith judgment, the Board of Directors determines to be advisable in order that any (i) consolidation or subdivision of the Common Shares, (ii) issue of any Common Shares at less than the Market Price, (iii) issue of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, (iii) stock dividends or (iv) issue of rights, options or warrants, referred to in this Section 2.3 hereafter made by the Corporation to holders of its Common Shares, subject to applicable tax laws, will not be taxable to such shareholders.

Adjustment to Rights exercisable into securities other than Common Shares. If as a result of an adjustment made under Section 3.1, the holder of any Rights thereafter exercised becomes entitled to receive securities other than Common Shares, thereafter the number of those other securities so receivable upon exercise of any Rights and the Exercise Price thereof will be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in Sections 2.3(a) to 2.3(k), as the case may be.

Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price or a change in the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights is made at any time after the Separation Time under this Section 2.3, the Corporation shall promptly:

file with the Rights Agent and with the transfer agent for the Common Shares a certificate specifying the particulars of that adjustment or change; and

cause notice of the particulars of that adjustment or change to be given to the holders of the Rights, provided that failure to file such certificate or cause such notice to be given, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of such adjustment or change.

Date on Which Exercise is Effective.

Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating of Rights Certificates.

The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice-President, together with its Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Rights Certificates may be manual or facsimile. Rights Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Corporation will bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that any of them have ceased to hold those offices prior to the countersignature and delivery of Rights Certificates.

Promptly after the Corporation learns of the Separation Time, the Corporation shall notify the Rights Agent thereof and shall deliver Rights Certificates executed by the Corporation to the Rights Agent for countersignature and disclosure statements as described in Section 2.2(d), and the Rights Agent shall manually or by facsimile signature countersign and send those Rights Certificates and disclosure statements to the holders of the Rights under Section 2.2(c). No Rights Certificate will be valid for any purpose until countersigned by the Rights Agent.

Each Rights Certificate shall be dated the date of countersignature thereof.

Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Corporation shall cause to be kept a register (the “Rights Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable policies as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall register and transfer Rights. The Rights Agent is hereby appointed “Rights Registrar” for purposes of maintaining the Rights Register for the Corporation and registering and transferring Rights as herein provided. If the Rights Agent ceases to be the Rights Registrar, the Rights Agent may examine the Rights Register at all reasonable times.

After the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of a Rights Certificate and subject to Section 2.6(d) and the other provisions of this Agreement, the Corporation shall execute and the Rights Agent shall countersign, register and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees in accordance with the holder’s instructions, one or more new Rights Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Rights as did the Rights Certificates so surrendered. Alternatively, in the case of the exercise of Rights in Book Entry Form, the Rights Agent shall provide the holder or the designated transferee or transferees with one or more statements issued under the Rights Agent’s direct registration system evidencing the same aggregate number of Rights as did the direct registration system’s records for the Rights transferred or exchanged.

All Rights issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Rights Certificates will bind the Corporation, and those Rights will entitle their holders to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Rights surrendered upon registration of transfer or exchange.

Each Rights Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation or the Rights Agent, as the case may be, duly executed by the registered holder thereof or that holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

As a condition to the issue of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.6, the Corporation or the Rights Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) in connection therewith.

Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Rights Certificates.

If any mutilated Rights Certificate is surrendered to the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time, the Corporation shall execute and the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so surrendered.

If (i) evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of any Rights Certificate is delivered to the Corporation and the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time and to their reasonable satisfaction, together with (ii) such indemnity or other security as may be required by each of them to save each of them and any of their agents harmless then, in the absence of notice to the Corporation or the Rights Agent that Rights Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate, a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so destroyed, lost or stolen.

As a condition to the issue of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.7, the Corporation or the Rights Agent may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) in connection therewith.

Every new Rights Certificate issued under this Section 2.7 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate will evidence an original additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed lost or stolen Rights Certificate will be at any time enforceable by anyone, and the holder thereof will be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any other holders of Rights duly issued by the Corporation.

Persons Deemed Owners.

Delivery and Cancellation of Rights Certificates.

Agreement of Rights Holders.

to be bound by and subject to this Agreement, as amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof, in respect of all Rights held;

that, prior to the Separation Time, each Right will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred by a transfer of, the Common Share certificate representing that Right;

that after the Separation Time, the Rights Certificates will be transferable only on the Rights Register as provided herein;

that prior to due presentment of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Share certificate) for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Rights Certificate (or prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Share certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing that Rights Certificate or associated Common Share certificate made by anyone other than the Corporation or the Rights Agent), and neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent will be affected by any notice to the contrary;

that holder of Rights has waived his or her right to receive any fractional shares upon exercise of Right;

that, in accordance with Section 5.4, without the approval of any holder of Rights and upon the sole authority of the Board of Directors acting in good faith, this Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time as provided herein; and

that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent will be liable to any holder of a Right or any other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of a preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or a statute, rule, regulation, or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority, prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation.

Rights Certificate Holder not Deemed a Shareholder.

Book Entry Rights Exercise Procedures and Execution, Authentication, Delivery

Promptly following the Separation Time, the Corporation will determine whether it wishes to issue Rights Certificates or whether it will maintain the Rights in Book Entry Form. In the event that the Corporation determines to maintain Rights in Book Entry Form, it will put in place such alternative procedures as are determined necessary in consultation with the Rights Agent for the Rights to be

Rights will be evidenced, in the case of Rights in Book Entry Form, by a statement issued under the Rights Agent’s direct registration system or, alternatively, if the Corporation determines to issue Rights Certificates, by the procedures set out in Section 2.2.

Flip-in Event.

Subject to Section 3.1(b), and Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c) and 5.1(d), if a Flip-in Event occurs prior to the Expiration Time, each Right will constitute, effective on the Close of Business on the 10^th day following the Stock Acquisition Date, a right to purchase from the Corporation, upon payment of the relevant Exercise Price and otherwise exercising such Right in accordance with the terms hereof, that number of Common Shares, as applicable, of the Corporation having an aggregate Market Price on the date of the occurrence of that Flip-in Event equal to twice the Exercise Price for an amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price (that Right to be appropriately adjusted in a manner analogous to the applicable adjustment provided for in Section 2.3 if after such date of occurrence an event of a type analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3 occurs with respect to those Common Shares).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, any Rights that are Beneficially Owned by (i) an Acquiring Person (or any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person) or any Person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person, or (ii) a transferee or other successor in title of Rights, directly or indirectly, of an Acquiring Person (or of any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person) or of any Person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person who becomes a transferee or successor in title concurrently with or subsequent to the Acquiring Person becoming such, will become null and void without any further action, and any holder of those Rights (including transferees or successors in title) will not have any right whatsoever to

Any Rights Certificate that represents Rights Beneficially Owned by a Person described in either Section 3.1(a) or 3.1(b) or transferred to any nominee of any such Person, and any Rights Certificate issued upon transfer, exchange, replacement or adjustment of any other Rights Certificate referred to in this sentence, shall contain the following legend:

General.

The Corporation hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the Corporation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Corporation may from time to time appoint such co-Rights Agents as it may deem necessary or desirable, subject to prior approval of the Rights Agent. If the Corporation appoints one or more co-Rights Agents, the respective duties of the Rights Agents and co-Rights Agents will be as the Corporation may determine, with the approval of the Rights Agent.

The Corporation shall indemnify the Rights Agent and its officers, directors and employees for, and shall hold those Persons harmless against, any loss, liability, cost, claim, action, suit, damage or expense incurred (that is not the result of negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct on the part of any one of the Rights Agent or its officers, directors or employees) for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with the acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim of liability, which indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent.

The Rights Agent shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any certificate for Common Shares or any Rights Certificate or certificate for other Shares or other securities, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons.

The Corporation shall inform the Rights Agent in a reasonably timely manner of events that may materially affect the administration of this Agreement by the Rights Agent and at any time, upon request, shall provide to the Rights Agent an incumbency certificate certifying the then current officers of the Corporation.

Merger or Amalgamation or Change of Name of Rights Agent.

Any corporation into which the Rights Agent may be merged or amalgamated or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, amalgamation, statutory arrangement or consolidation to which the Rights Agent is a party, or any corporation succeeding to the shareholder services business of the Rights Agent, will be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under Section 4.4. In case, at the time such successor Rights Agent succeeds to the agency created by this Agreement, Rights Certificates have been countersigned, but not delivered, that successor Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver those Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case, at that time Rights Certificates have not been countersigned, such successor Rights Agent may countersign those Rights Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases those Rights Certificates will have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement.

In case, at any time, the name of the Rights Agent is changed and at that time Rights Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver the Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case, at that time, Rights Certificates have not been countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign those Rights Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases those Rights Certificates will have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement.

Duties of Rights Agent.

The Rights Agent may retain and consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Corporation) and the opinion of that counsel will fully and completely authorize and protect the Rights Agent as to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and in accordance with that opinion. Subject to prior written consent of the Corporation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Rights Agent may also consult with such other experts as the Rights Agent will consider necessary or appropriate to properly carry out its duties and obligations under this Agreement (at the expense of the Corporation) and the Rights Agent may act and rely in good faith on the advice of any such expert.

Whenever, in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Rights Agent deems it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Corporation prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically provided) may be deemed to be conclusively proven and established by a certificate signed by a Person believed by the Rights Agent to be the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Legal Officer, a Vice-President, the Treasurer, an Assistant-Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant-Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Rights Agent; and that certificate will fully authorize the Rights Agent as to any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under this Agreement in reliance upon that certificate.

The Rights Agent will be liable hereunder only for events that are the result of its own negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct and that of its officers, directors and employees.

The Rights Agent will not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Share certificates or the Rights Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify them, but all those statements and recitals are and will be deemed to have been made by the Corporation only.

The Rights Agent will not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (except the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Share certificate or Rights Certificate (except its countersignature thereof); nor will it be responsible for any breach by the Corporation of any obligation under this Agreement or any Rights Certificate; nor will it be responsible for any change in the exercisability of the Rights (including the Rights becoming void under Section 3.1(b)) or any adjustment required under Section 2.3 or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights after receipt of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.3(m)(i) describing any such adjustment); nor will it, by any act hereunder, be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization of any Common Shares to be issued under this Agreement or any Rights or as to whether any Common Shares will, when issued, be duly and validly authorized, executed, issued and delivered or fully paid and non-assessable.

The Corporation shall perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the performance by the Rights Agent of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from a Person believed by the Rights Agent to be the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Legal Officer, a Vice-President, the Treasurer, an Assistant-Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant-Secretary of the Corporation and to apply to any such Person for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it will not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any of them. The Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from any Person designated in writing by the Corporation, and to apply to any such Person for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it will not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with the instructions of any of them; it is understood that instructions to the Rights Agent will, except where circumstances make it impracticable or the Rights Agent otherwise agrees, be given in writing and, where not in writing, those instructions will be confirmed in writing as soon as reasonably possible after being given.

The Rights Agent and any shareholder or stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in Common Shares, Rights or other securities or become financially interested in any transaction in which the Corporation may be interested or contract with or lend money to the Corporation or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein precludes the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Corporation or for any other legal entity, provided such actions would not place the Rights Agent in a position of conflict of interest with respect to its duties under this Agreement.

The Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or, with the prior written consent of the Corporation, by or through its attorneys or agents. The Rights Agent will not be answerable or accountable for any act, omission, default, neglect or misconduct of any of its attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Corporation resulting from any such act, omission, default, neglect or misconduct, provided the prior written consent of the Corporation was obtained and reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof.

Change of Rights Agent.

The Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 60 days’ notice (or such lesser notice as is acceptable to the Corporation) given to the Corporation, to each transfer agent of Common Shares and to each holder of Rights (all of which shall be at the expense of the Corporation). The Corporation may remove the Rights Agent upon 30 days’ notice given to the Rights Agent, to each transfer agent of Common Shares and to each holder of Rights.

If the Rights Agent resigns or is removed or otherwise becomes incapable of acting, the Corporation shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Corporation fails to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after that removal or after it has been notified in writing of that resignation or incapacity by the Rights Agent or by any holder of Rights (which holder shall, with that notice, submit his or her Rights Certificate for inspection by the Corporation), then the Rights Agent or that holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent at the Corporation’s expense.

Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Corporation or by such court, will be a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada or a jurisdiction thereof authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in Canada. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent will be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and obligations as if it had been originally named as

Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Corporation shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Rights Agent, to each transfer agent of Common Shares and to each holder of Rights. The cost of giving any notice required under this Section 4.4 shall be borne solely by the Corporation. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 4.4 however, or any defect therein, will not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.

Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Legislation

Fiduciary Duties of the Directors

Privacy Legislation

Liability

Redemption and Waiver.

Subject to the prior consent of the holders of Common Shares or Rights obtained in accordance with Section 5.4(c) or 5.4(d), as applicable, the Board of Directors acting in good faith may, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, elect to redeem all of the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.00001 per Right (the “Redemption Price”) which, if applicable, will be appropriately adjusted in accordance with Section 2.3, mutatis mutandis.

Subject to the prior consent of the holders of Common Shares obtained in accordance with Section 5.4(c), the Board of Directors may, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, if that Flip-in Event would occur by reason of an acquisition of Common Shares otherwise than under a Take-over Bid made by means of a Take-over Bid circular to all registered holders of Common Shares and otherwise than in the circumstances set forth in Section 5.1(d), waive the application of Section 3.1 to that Flip-in Event. In the event that the Board of Directors proposes such a waiver, the Board of Directors shall postpone the Separation Time to a date subsequent to and not more than 10 Business Days following the meeting of shareholders called to approve such waiver.

The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, and upon prior written notice delivered to the Rights Agent, waive the application of Section 3.1 to a Flip-in Event that would occur by reason of a Take-over Bid made by means of a Take-over Bid circular to all registered holders of Common Shares by giving to the Rights Agent notice thereof; provided that if the Board of Directors waives the application of Section 3.1 to a particular Flip-in Event, the Board of Directors will be deemed to have waived the application of Section 3.1 to any other Flip-in Event occurring by reason of any Take-over Bid made by means of a Takeover Bid circular to all registered holders of Common Shares prior to the expiry of any Take-over Bid in respect of which a waiver is, or is deemed to have been granted, under this Section.

The Board of Directors may waive the application of Section 3.1, by giving to the Rights Agent notice thereof, in respect of a Flip-in Event, if:

the Board of Directors has determined that a Person became an Acquiring Person by inadvertence and without any intention to become, or knowledge that it would become, an Acquiring Person; and

that Acquiring Person has reduced its Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares (or has entered into a contractual arrangement with the Corporation, acceptable to the Board of Directors, to do so within 30 days (or such earlier or later date as the Board of Directors may determine) of the date on which such contractual arrangement is entered into) such that at the time the waiver becomes effective under this Section 5.1(d) it is no longer an Acquiring Person;

Where a Person acquires Common Shares under a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid or acquires Common Shares as a result of the Board of Directors waiving the application of Section 3.1 under Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c), the Board of Directors shall, immediately upon such acquisition and without further formality, be deemed to have elected to redeem all outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price.

If the Board of Directors elects under Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(e) or 5.1(h) to redeem the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will thereupon, without further action and without notice, terminate and each Right will after redemption be null and void and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.

Within 10 days after the redemption of Rights by the Corporation under Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(e) or 5.1(h), the Corporation shall give notice of redemption to the holders of the then outstanding Rights. Each such notice of redemption shall state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. The Corporation may not redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any time in any manner other than that specifically set forth in this Section 5.1 and other than in connection with the purchase of Common Shares prior to the Separation Time.

Where a Take-over Bid that is not a Permitted-Bid Acquisition is withdrawn or otherwise terminated after the Separation Time has occurred and prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, the Board of Directors may elect to redeem all outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price.

Notwithstanding the Rights being redeemed pursuant to Section 5.1(h) above, all the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply as if the Separation Time had not occurred and Rights Certificates representing the number of Rights held by each holder of record of Common Shares as of the Separation Time had not been mailed to each such holder and, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Separation Time shall be deemed not to have occurred and the Rights shall remain attached to the outstanding Common Shares, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

The Corporation may from time to time supplement or amend this Agreement without the approval of any holders of Rights or Common Shares (i) to correct any clerical or typographical error or (ii) to maintain the validity or effectiveness of the Agreement as a result of a change in any applicable legislation or regulations or rules thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, no supplement or amendment shall be made with respect to Section 4 (other than under Section 5.4(a) (ii)) except with the written concurrence of the Rights Agent to such supplement or amendment. No written concurrence of the Rights Agent shall be required in respect of supplements or amendments required under Section 5.4(a) (ii).

Subject to Section 5.4(a), the Corporation may, with the prior consent of the holders of Common Shares obtained as set forth below, at any time prior to the Separation Time supplement or amend this Agreement and the Rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights generally). Such consent will be deemed to have been given if provided by

The Corporation may, with the prior consent of the holders of Rights, at any time after the Separation Time and before the Expiration Time, supplement or amend this Agreement and the Rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights generally). Such consent will be deemed to have been given if the action requiring such consent is authorized by the affirmative votes of the holders of Rights present or represented at and entitled to be voted at a meeting of the holders of Rights and representing a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof. For purposes hereof, each outstanding Right, (other than Rights that are void under this Agreement) will be entitled to one vote, and the procedures for the calling, holding and conduct of the meeting will be those, as nearly as may be, that are provided in the Corporation’s by-laws and the CBCA with respect to a meeting of shareholders of the Corporation.

Any amendments made by the Corporation to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.4(a)(ii) shall: (i) if made before the Separation Time, be submitted to the holders of Common Shares at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may, by the majority referred to in Section 5.4(c), confirm or reject such amendment, and (ii) if made after the Separation Time, be submitted to the holders of Rights at a meeting to be called for on a date not later than immediately following the next meeting of shareholders, and the holders of Rights may, by the majority referred to in subsection 5.4(d), confirm or reject such amendment. Any such amendment shall be effective from the date of the resolution of the Board of Directors adopting such amendment, until it is confirmed or rejected or until it ceases to be effective (as described in the next sentence) and, where such amendment is confirmed, it continues in effect in the form so confirmed. If such amendment is rejected by the shareholders of the Corporation or the holders of Rights or is not submitted to the shareholders of the Corporation or holders of Rights as required, then such amendment shall cease to be effective from and after the termination of the meeting at which it was rejected or to which it should have been but was not submitted or from and after the date of the meeting of holders of Rights as the case may be.

The Corporation shall give the Rights Agent notice of any such supplement or amendment to this Agreement within five days of effecting that supplement or amendment.

Fractional Rights and Fractional Common Shares.

The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Rights Certificates that evidence fractional Rights. Any fractional Right will be null and void and the Corporation will not have any obligation or liability in respect thereof.

The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractions of Shares or other securities upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional Shares or other securities. In lieu of issuing fractional Shares or other securities, the Corporation shall pay to the holders of Rights at the time those Rights are exercised as herein provided, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the Market Price of one Share. The Rights Agent shall have no obligation to make any payments in lieu of fractional Shares unless the Corporation provides the Rights Agent with the necessary funds to pay in full all amounts payable in accordance with Section 2.2(f).
