At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities are first made (the "Time of Sale"), the following information shall have been prepared (collectively, the "Time of Sale Information"): the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as supplemented and amended by the written communications listed on Annex A hereto.

2. Purchase and Resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers. (a) The Company agrees to issue and sell the Firm Securities to the several Initial Purchasers as provided in this Agreement, and each Initial Purchaser, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company the respective principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite such Initial Purchaser's name in Schedule 1 hereto at a price equal to 96.750% of the principal amount thereof (the "Purchase Price") plus accrued interest, if any, from September 15, 2009 to the Closing Date (as defined below).

In addition, the Company agrees to issue and sell the Option Securities to the several Initial Purchasers as provided in this Agreement, and the Initial Purchasers, on the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to the conditions set forth herein, shall have the option to purchase solely for the purpose of covering any over-allotments, severally and not jointly, from the Company the Option Securities at the Purchase Price plus accrued interest, if any, from the Closing Date to the date of payment and delivery.

If any Option Securities are to be purchased, the amount of Option Securities to be purchased by each Initial Purchaser shall be the amount of Option Securities which bears the same ratio to the aggregate amount of Option Securities being purchased as the amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser in Schedule 1 hereto (or such amount increased as set forth in Section 10 hereof) bears to the aggregate amount of Firm Securities being purchased from the Company by the several Initial Purchasers, subject, however, to such adjustments to eliminate Securities in denominations other than US$1,000 as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make.

The Initial Purchasers may exercise the option to purchase the Option Securities at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, on or before the thirtieth day following the date of this Agreement, by written notice from the Representative to the Company. Such notice shall set forth the aggregate amount of Option Securities as to which the option is being exercised and the date and time when the Option Securities are to be delivered and paid for, which may be the same date and time as the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) but shall not be earlier than the Closing Date nor later than the tenth full business day (as hereinafter defined) after the date of such notice (unless such time and date are postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10 hereof). Any such notice shall be given at least two business days prior to the date and time of delivery specified therein.

(iii) it has not solicited offers for, or offered or sold, and will not solicit offers for, or offer or sell, the Securities as part of its distribution at any time except (A) within the United States to persons whom it reasonably believes to be QIBs in transactions pursuant to Rule 144A and in connection with each such sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser of the Securities is aware that such sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A or (B) in accordance with the restrictions set forth in Annex E hereto;

(iv) it will offer and sell the Securities only to persons in Canada who are "accredited investors," within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 of the Canadian Securities Administrators ("NI 45-106"), and that, in purchasing the Securities, are deemed to have represented and agreed as provided under the caption "Transfer restrictions" in the Canadian final offering memorandum prepared for delivery to prospective purchasers in Canada and incorporating the Final Offering Memorandum; and

(v) it is an "accredited investor," within the meaning of NI 45-106, entitled to purchase the Securities in reliance on exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws.

(c) Each Initial Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company and, for purposes of the opinions to be delivered to the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 6(f), 6(g), 6(j), and 6(k), U.S. and Canadian counsel for the Company and U.S. and Canadian counsel for the Initial Purchasers, respectively, may rely upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Initial Purchasers, and compliance by the Initial Purchasers with their agreements, contained in paragraph (b) above (including Annex E hereto), and each Initial Purchaser hereby consents to such reliance.

(d) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may offer and sell Securities to or through any affiliate of an Initial Purchaser.

(f) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Initial Purchasers are acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length contractual counterparty to the Company with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representative nor any other Initial Purchaser is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Initial Purchasers shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Initial Purchasers of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action, investigation or proceeding or any claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the following information: (i) the first sentence of the ninth paragraph of text under the caption "Plan of distribution" in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum relating to resales by the initial purchasers; (ii) the fourth sentence of the tenth paragraph of text under the caption "Plan of distribution" in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum relating to the initial purchasers' intention to make a market in the Securities after the completion of the offering; and (iii) the fourth sentence under the caption "Risk factors—Risks relating to the notes—The notes may not have an active market and their price may be volatile. You may be unable to sell your notes at the price you desire or at all." in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum relating to the initial purchasers' intention to make a market in the Securities after the completion of the offering.

(c) Notice and Procedures. 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 indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the "Indemnified Person") shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the "Indemnifying Person") in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as 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; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) 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 interest between them. It is understood and agreed 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, and that all such fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Initial Purchaser, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers and any control persons of the Company 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 each 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 that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person 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 the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the 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 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 indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above 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 Initial Purchasers, on the other, from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, 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 Initial Purchasers, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers in connection therewith, as provided in this Agreement, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, 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 Initial Purchasers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers 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 paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above 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 any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Initial Purchaser be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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 Initial Purchasers' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 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.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of the Option Securities, on or prior to the Additional Closing Date, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by any of the NYSE, the Nasdaq Global Market or the TSX; (ii) trading of any securities issued by the Company shall have been suspended on the TSX or the NYSE; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal (U.S. or Canada) or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States or Canada, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.

10. Defaulting Initial Purchaser. (a) If, on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, any Initial Purchaser defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Initial Purchaser, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser, either the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers or the Company may postpone the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Initial Purchasers may be necessary in the Time of Sale Information, the Offering Memorandum or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Time of Sale Information or the Offering Memorandum that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term "Initial Purchaser" includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Initial Purchaser agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on such date, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to purchase the number of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder on such date plus such Initial Purchaser's pro rata share (based on the number of Securities that such Initial Purchaser agreed to purchase on such date) of the Securities of such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers by the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate number of Securities that remain unpurchased on the Closing Date or the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate amount of Securities to be purchased on such date, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement or, with respect to any Additional Closing Date, the obligation of the Initial Purchasers to purchase Securities on the Additional Closing Date, as the case may be, shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses. (a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the related Canadian preliminary offering memorandum, any other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum and the related Canadian final offering memorandum (including any amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company's counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with the application for the inclusion of the Securities on the PORTAL Market, if applicable, and the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any "road show" presentation to potential investors; (x) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the Underlying Securities on the NYSE and the TSX, and (xi) all fees payable in connection with the filing of any Form 45-106F1 with Canadian securities regulatory authorities.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Initial Purchasers or (iii) the Initial Purchasers decline to purchase the Securities for any reason permitted under this Agreement (which, for greater certainty, would not include a termination as a result of any Initial Purchaser defaulting under Section 10 hereof), the Company agrees to reimburse the Initial Purchasers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, but only in the case of clause (i) in relation to a termination under Section 9(ii)) reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchasers in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

12. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and any controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein. No purchaser of Securities from any Initial Purchaser shall be deemed to be a successor merely by reason of such purchase.

13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of the Company or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or the Initial Purchasers.

14. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term "affiliate" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term "business day" means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City or Toronto, Ontario; and (c) the term "subsidiary" has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

15. Miscellaneous. (a) Authority of the Representative. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers.

(b) Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted and confirmed by any standard form of telecommunication.

(c) Agent for Service of Process; Submission to Jurisdiction. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company (i) acknowledges that it has, by separate written instrument, irrevocably designated and appointed CT Corporation System (or any successor) (together with any successor, the "Agent for Service"), as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Securities, that may be instituted in any U.S. federal or state court in the State of New York, or brought under U.S. federal or state securities laws, and acknowledges that the Agent for Service has accepted such designation, (ii) submits to the jurisdiction of any such court located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in any such suit or proceeding, and (iii) agrees that service of process upon the Agent for Service (or any successor) and written notice of said service to the Company (mailed or delivered to its registered office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada), shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding. The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments, as may be necessary to continue such designation and appointment of the Agent for Service in full force and effect so long as any of the Securities shall be outstanding.

(d) Judgment Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than United States dollars, the Company will indemnify the Initial Purchasers against any loss incurred by the Initial Purchasers as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the rate of exchange at which the Initial Purchasers are able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of Judgment Currency actually received by the Initial Purchasers. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term "rate of exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into United States dollars.

(e) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The exact share prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

•

if the share price is between two share price amounts in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower share price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

•

if the share price is greater than $45.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no additional shares will be issued upon conversion; and

•

if the share price is less than $10.10 per share (subject to adjustment), no additional shares will be issued upon conversion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of common shares issuable upon conversion exceed 99.0099 per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under "Description of notes—Conversion rate adjustments" in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Annex C

[Form of Opinion of U.S. Counsel for the Company]

(a) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

(b) The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee, constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws and to general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(c) The Securities have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, when duly authenticated as provided in the Indenture and paid for as provided in this Agreement, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws and to general principles of equity regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

(d) The statements in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum under the heading "Description of notes", insofar as such statements constitute summaries of certain provisions of the Indenture and of the Securities, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects, except for, in the case of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, statements with respect to the pricing terms of the Securities and any other items dependent upon the pricing terms and the delivery date of the Securities.

(e) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents, the compliance by the Company with the terms thereof, the issuance and sale of the Securities (including the issuance of the Underlying Securities upon conversion thereof) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not (i) result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, any agreement or instrument governed by New York law set forth in Schedule A to such counsel's opinion, or (ii) result in the violation of any applicable United States federal or New York state law, statute, rule or regulation (except that such counsel need express no opinion with respect to state securities laws, statutes, rules or regulations) or, to the best of such counsel's knowledge, any judgment or order of any United States federal or New York state court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority set forth in Schedule B to such counsel's opinion applicable to the Company.

(f) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any United States federal or New York state court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents, the compliance by the Company with the terms thereof, the issuance and sale of the Securities (including the issuance of the Underlying Securities upon conversion thereof), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except for such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders and registrations or qualifications as have been obtained or may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers.

(g) Subject to the qualifications, restrictions, assumptions and limitations stated therein, the statements in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum under the heading "United States federal income tax considerations", to the extent they constitute summaries of legal matters with respect to United States federal taxation, constitute in all material respects a fair and accurate summary of the matters addressed therein.

(h) The statements in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum under the heading "Plan of Distribution", insofar as such statements constitute summaries of certain provisions of this Agreement, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects, except for, in the case of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, statements with respect to the pricing terms of the Securities and any other items dependent upon the pricing terms and the delivery date of the Securities.

(i) The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, the Company will not be required to register as an "investment company" under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act.

(j) Neither the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities nor the application of the proceeds thereof by the Company as described in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board of Governors.

(k) Based solely on Section 5-1402 of the NY General Obligations Law, the submission by the Company to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States federal and New York state courts located in the State of New York pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement and Section 1.18 of the Indenture is effective, and the appointment of the agent for service of process pursuant to Section 15 of this Agreement and Section 1.18 of the Indenture is binding on the Company. Such counsel may note that a court of the State of New York or the United States of America sitting in New York County has the power to decline to hear an action based on this Agreement or the Indenture on the ground that the State of New York is an inconvenient forum.

(l) Assuming the accuracy of, and compliance with, the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement, the compliance by the Initial Purchasers with the offering and transfer procedures and restrictions described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, the receipt by the purchasers to whom the Initial Purchasers initially resell the Securities of a copy of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum prior to such sale and the accuracy of the deemed representations and agreements of such purchasers contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, it is not necessary, in connection with the offer, sale and delivery of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers or in connection with the initial resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and the issuance of the Underlying Shares upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with the terms thereof (assuming compliance by the Company with all of the applicable provisions of the Indenture in connection therewith) to register the Securities or the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the Securities under the Securities Act or to qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, it being understood that no opinion is expressed as to any subsequent resale of any Securities.

Such counsel shall also state that they have participated in preparation of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and in conferences with representatives of the Company, representatives of the Initial Purchasers and their counsel and with representatives of the Company’s independent accountants and counsel at which conferences the contents of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters were discussed, and they have reviewed a copy of the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, and, although the limitations inherent in the role of outside counsel are such that they cannot and do not assume any responsibility for, and they are not passing upon, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and any amendment or supplement thereto (except as expressly provided above), and they have not made any independent check or verification thereof, on the basis of the foregoing nothing has come to the attention of such counsel to cause such counsel to believe that the Time of Sale Information (including the information incorporated by reference therein), at the Time of Sale (which such counsel may assume to be the date of this Agreement), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or that the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto (including the information incorporated by reference therein), as of its date and the Closing Date, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than, in each case, the financial statements and other financial information contained or incorporated by reference therein and the information derived from the reports of or attributed to persons named in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum under the heading "Interest of experts", as to which such counsel need express no belief or view).

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials that are furnished to the Initial Purchasers.

The opinion of counsel described above shall be rendered to the Initial Purchasers at the request of the Company and shall so state therein and shall be subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions stated or referred to therein.

(a)

the parties' choice of New York Law in the Transaction Documents Agreement is bona fide (in the sense that it was not made with a view to avoiding the consequences of the laws of any other jurisdiction) and legal and there is no reason for avoiding the choice on the grounds of public policy, as such criteria would be applied by the Ontario Court; and

(b)	in any such proceeding, and notwithstanding the parties' choice of New York Law in the Transaction Documents, the Ontario Court:

(i)	will not take judicial notice of the provisions of New York Law, but will only apply such provisions if they are pleaded and proven by expert testimony;

(a)	provided that:

(i)	an action to enforce the New York Judgment is commenced in the Ontario Court within any applicable limitation period;

(iv)	an action in the Ontario Court on the New York Judgment may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally; and

(b)	subject to the following defences:

(i)	that the New York Judgment was obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to the principles of natural justice;

(ii)	that the New York Judgment is for a claim which under Applicable Laws would be characterized as based on a foreign revenue, expropriatory, penal or other public law;

that the New York Judgment is contrary to Public Policy or to an order made by the Attorney General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of certain judgments referred to in these statutes; or

(iv)	that the New York Judgment has been satisfied or is void or voidable under New York Law.

Such counsel shall also state that except to the extent contemplated in one or more of the qualifications to opinions (p) and (q) above, such counsel is not aware of any public policy that would be violated by any provisions of the Transaction Documents or any provision of Ontario Law that has an overriding effect that would be applicable to the Transaction Documents.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials that are furnished to the Initial Purchasers.
