The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of LAC and may be waived, in whole or in part, by LAC at any time. These conditions will not give rise to or create any duty on the part of LAC or the Board to waive or not to waive such conditions and will not in any way limit LAC's right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 7.2 or alter the consequences of any such termination from those specified in Article 7. Any determination made by LAC prior to the Arrangement concerning the satisfaction and waiver of any or all of the conditions set forth in this Section 5.1 will be final and conclusive, and neither LAC nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability as a result of any such determination.

5.2 Conditions to Obligations of Each Party

6.1 Indemnity by LAC

Subject to Section 8.11, LAC will indemnify and hold harmless Spinco and its Representatives against any Loss suffered or incurred by any such Indemnified Person resulting from:

(a) a breach of a representation or warranty herein or pursuant hereto by LAC; and

(b) a breach of a covenant herein or pursuant hereto by LAC;

6.2 Indemnity by Spinco

- 27 -

6.3 Notice of Third Party Claims

(a) If an Indemnified Person receives notice of the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person must notify the Indemnifier as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, but in any event, no later than 30 days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. Such notice to the Indemnifier must describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and indicate, to the extent reasonably practicable, the estimated amount of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifier will then have a period of 30 days (the "Notice Period") within which to satisfy such Third Party Claim or, failing that, to give notice to the Indemnified Person that it intends to dispute such Third Party Claim and participate in or assume the defence thereof (a "Dispute Notice"), which notice must be accompanied by reasonable particulars in writing of the basis of such dispute.

(b) If an Indemnified Person has reason to believe that a Person may be investigating the possibility of asserting a Third Party Claim, it must notify the Indemnifier as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event, no later than 30 days after discovery of such possible Third Party Claim, and provide reasonable details of the circumstances thereof. The Indemnified Person and the Indemnifier will cooperate with each other with a view to satisfying the Person who may assert the Third Party Claim that there is no reasonable basis therefor.

6.4 Defence of Third Party Claims

If an Indemnifier elects to assume the defence of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifier must at all times act reasonably and in good faith in pursuing such defence, keep the Indemnified Persons reasonably informed as to the progress and status of such defence of the Third Party Claim and provide copies to the Indemnified Persons of all material documents, records and other materials relating to such defence of the Third Party Claim. The Indemnifier must provide the Indemnified Persons with drafts of documents that the Indemnifier proposes to send or file in advance of the sending of or filing of the same and the Indemnified Persons will have the reasonable opportunity to provide comments thereon to the Indemnifier; provided, however, that it will not result in any undue delays. The Indemnifier agrees to pay all of its own expenses of participating in or assuming such defence. The Indemnified Persons will cooperate in good faith in the defence of each Third Party Claim, even if the defence has been assumed by the Indemnifier, and may participate in such defence assisted by counsel of its choice and at its own expense, except in those circumstances in which the Indemnified Person believes in good faith that there are material conflict issues between the Indemnifier and the Indemnified Persons or there are defences available to the Indemnified Persons that are not available to the Indemnifier, in either of which cases the Indemnified Persons may participate in such defence assisted by counsel of its choice at the expense of the lndemnifier to the extent such expenses are reasonable. Neither the Indemnifier nor the Indemnified Persons will enter into any compromise or settlement of any Third Party Claim without obtaining the prior written consent of the other of them, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that: (1) if the Indemnifier wishes to settle a Third Party Claim in an amount acceptable to the third party claimant, but the Indemnified Persons do not wish so to settle, the Indemnifier will be required to indemnify the Indemnified Persons only up to the lesser of the amount for which the Indemnifier would have settled the Third Party Claim and the amount which the Indemnified Persons were or will be required to pay such third party in connection with such Third Party Claim and (2) if the Indemnified Persons have not received a Dispute Notice within the Notice Period confirming the intent of the Indemnifier in respect of a Third Party Claim or if the Indemnifier, having elected to assume the defence of any Third Party Claim, fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within 30 days after receiving notice from the Indemnified Persons that the Indemnified Person bona fide believes on reasonable grounds that the Indemnifier has failed to take such steps (with such grounds to be specified in reasonable detail), the Indemnified Persons may, at their option, elect to settle or compromise the Third Party Claim or assume such defence, assisted by counsel of their choosing, and the Indemnifier will be liable for all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection therewith and any Loss suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Persons with respect to such Third Party Claim.

- 28 -

6.5 Direct Claims

Any Direct Claim must be asserted by providing notice to the Indemnifier within a reasonable time after the Indemnified Person becomes aware of such Direct Claim, but in any event not later than 60 days after the Indemnified Person becomes aware of such Direct Claim. Such notice to the Indemnifier must describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail and indicate, to the extent reasonably practicable, the estimated amount of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifier will then have a period of 30 days within which to satisfy such Direct Claim or, failing that, to give notice to the Indemnified Person that it intends to dispute such Direct Claim, which notice must be accompanied by reasonable particulars in writing of the basis of such dispute.

6.6 Failure to Give Timely Notice

The failure to give timely notice as provided in this Article 6 will not affect the rights or obligations of any Party except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure, the Party that was entitled to receive such notice suffered damage or was otherwise prejudiced.

6.7 Reduction in Subrogation

If at any time subsequent to the making of any Indemnity Payment, the amount of the indemnified loss is reduced pursuant to any claim, recovery, settlement or payment by or against any other Person (a "Recovery"), such that, taking the Recovery into account, the amount of the Indemnity Payment in respect of the Loss exceeds the amount of the Loss, the Indemnified Person must promptly repay to the Indemnifier the amount of the excess (the "Excess") (less any costs, expenses (including Taxes) or premiums incurred in connection therewith) together with interest (a) from the date of payment of the Indemnity Payment in respect of which the repayment is being made to but excluding the earlier of the date of repayment of the Excess and the date that is 60 days after the Excess arises, but only to the extent that the Recovery giving rise to the Excess included interest, at the rate applied to the amount of the Recovery and (b) from and including the date that is 60 days after the Excess arises to but excluding the date of repayment of the Excess, at the Prime Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.7, no payment must be made hereunder to the extent the Indemnified Person is entitled to an Indemnity Payment hereunder that remains unpaid. Upon making a full Indemnity Payment, the Indemnifier will, to the extent of such Indemnity Payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Person against any third party in respect of the Loss to which the Indemnity Payment relates. Until the Indemnified Person recovers full payment of its Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifier against such third party on account of such Indemnity Payment will be postponed and subordinated in right of payment to the Indemnified Person's rights against such third party.

- 29 -

6.8 Tax Effect

If any Indemnity Payment received by an Indemnified Person would constitute income for tax purposes to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifier will pay a Tax Gross-Up to the Indemnified Person at the same time and on the same terms, as to interest and otherwise, as the Indemnity Payment. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided will be adjusted to take into account any tax benefit realizable by the Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates by reason of the Loss for which indemnification is so provided or the circumstances giving rise to such Loss. For purposes of this Section 6.8, any tax benefit will be taken into account at such time as it is received by the Indemnified Person or its Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.8, if an Indemnity Payment would otherwise be included in the Indemnified Person's income, the Indemnified Person covenants and agrees to make all such elections and take such actions as are available, acting reasonably, to minimize or eliminate Taxes with respect to the Indemnity Payment.

6.9 Payment and Interest

All Losses (other than Taxes) will bear interest at a rate per annum, calculated and payable monthly, equal to the Prime Rate per annum from and including the date the Indemnified Person disbursed funds or suffered or incurred a Loss to but excluding the day of payment by the Indemnifier to the Indemnified Person, with interest on overdue interest at the same rate. All Losses that are Taxes will bear interest at a rate per annum, calculated and payable monthly, equal to the Prime Rate from and including the date the Indemnified Person paid such Taxes to but excluding the day of payment by the lndemnifier to the Indemnified Person of the Indemnity Payment in respect of such Taxes, with interest on overdue interest at the same rate.

6.10 Judgment Currency

(a) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Indemnifier in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (the "Judgment Currency") an amount due in Canadian dollars under this Agreement, the conversion will be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:

(i) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of the Province of British Columbia or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or

(ii) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the "Judgment Conversion Date").

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 6.10(a)(ii), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Indemnifier must pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of Canadian dollars, which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

- 30 -

6.11 Exclusive Remedy

Subject to Section 8.11 and except for remedies for injunctive relief or equitable relief, claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the indemnification rights set forth in this Article 6 will be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Direct Claim or any Third Party Claim arising out of this Agreement by LAC or Spinco.

6.12 Mitigation

Nothing in this Agreement will in any way restrict or limit the general obligation at law of an Indemnified Person to mitigate any Loss which it may suffer or incur by reason of the breach by an Indemnifier of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement of the Indemnifier hereunder. If any such Loss can be reduced by any Recovery (including under or pursuant to any insurance coverage), the Indemnified Person will take all appropriate and reasonable steps to enforce such Recovery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnified Person will have any obligation to mitigate any Loss prior to or in connection with any application of remedies for injunctive or equitable relief.

6.13 Superseding Indemnity

Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Tax Indemnity and Cooperation Agreement and the Transitional Services Agreement, as applicable, the indemnity provisions contained therein will supersede and replace this Article 6 if and to the extent such agreements govern the indemnification rights and obligations of either Party over matters that would otherwise be covered by those set out in this Article 6. Any Direct Claim or Third Party Claim advanced or right to advance a Direct Claim or Third Party Claim under this Article 6 prior to the Effective Date may, to the extent governed by the Tax Indemnity and Cooperation Agreement or the Transitional Services Agreement, as applicable, be continued or advanced under such agreements and the provisions of such agreements will apply mutatis mutandis with respect to any such claim or right.

- 35 -

8.9 Confidentiality

(a) Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the other Party and its Affiliates have a proprietary (or will have following the Effective Date in respect to Spinco) interest in the Restricted Information of such Party and the same is of value to such other Party and its Affiliates and that the use or disclosure of the Restricted Information of such other Party contrary to the terms of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to such other Party and its Affiliates. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 8.9, each of LAC, on the one hand, and Spinco, on the other hand, agree to hold, and to cause its respective Affiliates and its respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to LAC's Confidential Information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Date, all Restricted Information of the other Party, and will not use, and will cause its respective Affiliates and its respective Representatives not to use, any such Restricted Information other than for such purposes as are expressly contemplated hereunder or under the transactions or other agreements contemplated hereby. Each such Party further agrees to, and to cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, only use the Shared Information in the normal course of their respective businesses for their own internal purposes and not divulge or communicate to any third party any Shared Information (except that the Parties will be permitted to disclose such information, to the extent necessary in connection with their normal business activities, on a confidential basis, to their consultants, contractors, customers, partners, suppliers and Representatives who have a need to know the information); provided, however, that where an obligation is owed to a third party in respect of such Shared Information, the Parties covenant and agree to use such information only in a manner consistent with such obligation.

(b) The Parties acknowledge that they each have the non-exclusive right to use Industry Know-How and that each of them may use, divulge, communicate and in any other way exploit Industry Know-How in an unrestricted manner and without obligation or confidence. No Party will restrict or attempt to restrict the other Party with respect to their past, present or use or other dealing of Industry Know-How.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information, Restricted Information and Shared Information will not include information that is now or subsequently becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement relating to confidentiality between or among the Parties and/or their respective Affiliates or Representatives. In addition, information will not constitute Confidential Information of the second Party if such information was (i) lawfully acquired by the first Party and/or any of its Affiliates or Representatives from a third party not bound by a confidentiality obligation, or (ii) independently generated or developed by one or more Representatives of the first Party and/or any of its Affiliates without reference to Restricted Information of the second Party.

(d) In the event that a Party and/or its Affiliates or Representatives determines that it is required to disclose any Confidential Information (the "Disclosing Party") pursuant to Applicable Law or receives any demand under lawful process or from a Governmental Authority to disclose or provide Confidential Information, and such disclosure or provision of the Confidential Information would be in breach of this Section 8.9, the Disclosing Party will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, promptly notify the other Party so that the other Party has a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective arrangement and/or waive compliance with the applicable provisions of this Section 8.9 prior to the Disclosing Party disclosing or providing such Confidential Information, and the Party that received such request will cooperate, at the expense of the requesting Party, in seeking any such protective arrangements requested by such requesting Party. Subject to the foregoing, the Disclosing Party may thereafter disclose or provide such Confidential Information to the extent required by such Applicable Law (as so advised by legal counsel) or by lawful process or by such Governmental Authority and will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the Confidential Information so disclosed together with a list of all Persons to whom such Confidential Information was disclosed. In any such event, the Disclosing Party will also use reasonable commercial efforts to ensure that all Confidential Information that is so disclosed will be afforded confidential treatment by the recipient. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, a Party may disclose any Confidential Information (x) to its Representatives, provided they are under obligations in respect of limited use, limited disclosure and confidentiality in respect of such Confidential Information no less stringent than the obligations set forth herein, on a "need-to know" basis, (y) in connection with disputes or litigation between the Parties that relates to such Confidential Information, provided that each Party will endeavour to limit disclosure for that purposes, or (z) in connection with the exercise of any rights granted hereunder.

- 36 -

8.10 Waiver of Conflict

The Parties acknowledge that each of LAC and Spinco, and their respective Affiliates, are currently represented by legal counsel retained by LAC in connection with the preparation and finalization of this Agreement. Each of LAC and Spinco, on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates, waives any conflict with respect to such common representation that may arise before, at or after the date of this Agreement.

8.11 Limitation on Liability

No Representative of a Party will have any personal liability whatsoever on behalf of such Party (or any of its Affiliates) to any other Party under this Agreement or the Arrangement or any other transactions entered into, or documents delivered, in connection with any of the foregoing. In no event will LAC or Spinco be liable for any special, consequential, indirect, collateral, incidental, exemplary or punitive damages or lost profits or failure to realize expected savings or other commercial or economic loss of any kind, however caused and on any theory of liability, arising in any way out of this Agreement, whether or not such Person has been advised of the possibility of such damages; provided, however, that the foregoing will not limit any Party's indemnification obligations for Losses with respect to Third Party Claims as set forth in Article 6.

8.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement is solely for the benefit of, and is not intended to confer any rights or remedies on any Person other than the Parties (and their respective successors and permitted assigns) except for the indemnification rights provided for in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 which are intended for the benefit of, in addition to the Parties hereto, the Representatives of Spinco and LAC, respectively, as and to the extent applicable in accordance with their terms, and will be enforceable, as applicable, by each of such Representatives and his or her heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives (collectively, the "Third Party Beneficiaries"). Spinco will hold the rights and benefits of Section 6.1 in trust for and on behalf of its applicable Third Party Beneficiaries and LAC will hold the rights and benefits of Section 6.2 in trust for and on behalf of its applicable Third Party Beneficiaries. Each of LAC and Spinco hereby accepts such trust and agrees to hold the benefit of and enforce performance of such covenants on behalf of its applicable Third Party Beneficiaries as directed by such Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 8.12, this Agreement will not provide any Person (including any LAC Shareholder) with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement. Subject to Section 7.1, the Parties reserve their right to vary or rescind the rights at any time and in any way whatsoever, if any, granted by or under this Agreement to any Person who is not a Party, without notice to or consent of that Person, including any Third Party Beneficiaries.

- 37 -

8.13 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is illegal, invalid or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby and in the Plan of Arrangement are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

8.14 Privacy

The Company may from time-to-time grant Options to Participants pursuant to this Plan.

3.2 Price

The exercise price per Share of any Option shall be not less than one hundred per cent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Share on the date of grant.

3.3 Grant of Options

The Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, may at any time authorize the granting of Options to such Participants as it may select for the number of Shares that it shall designate, subject to the provisions of this Plan. The Board may also, by way of Board resolution, delegate to the CEO the authority to grant any of a designated number of Options (such number to be specified by the Board in the aforementioned resolution) to Eligible Employees, other than Eligible Employees who are officers or directors of the Company (such Options, the "Delegated Options"). The date of grant of an Option shall be (i) the date such grant was approved by the Committee for recommendation to the Board, provided the Board approves such grant; or (ii) for a grant of an Option not approved by the Committee for recommendation to the Board, the date such grant was approved by the Board; or (iii) in respect of Delegated Options, the date such grant is made by the CEO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may authorize the grant of Options at any time with such grant to be effective at a later date and the corresponding determination of the exercise price to be done at such date to accommodate any Blackout Period or such other circumstances where such delayed grant is deemed appropriate, and the date of grant of such Options shall then be the effective date of the grant.

- 8 -

Each Option granted to a Participant shall be evidenced by a stock option grant letter or agreement with terms and conditions consistent with this Plan and as approved by the Board on the recommendation of the Committee, or, in respect of Delegated Options, by the CEO (and in all cases which terms and conditions need not be the same in each case and may be changed from time to time, subject to Section 7.8 of this Plan, and the approval of any material changes by the Toronto Stock Exchange or such other exchange or exchanges on which the Shares are then traded).

3.4 Terms of Options

The Option Period shall be five (5) years from the date such Option is granted, or such greater or lesser duration as the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, or in the case of Delegated Options, the CEO, may determine at the date of grant, and may thereafter be reduced with respect to any such Option as provided in Section 3.6 hereof covering termination of employment or death of the Optionee; provided, however, that at any time the expiry date of the Option Period in respect of any outstanding Option under this Plan should be determined to occur either during a Blackout Period or within ten (10) business days following the expiry of the Blackout Period, the expiry date of such Option Period shall be deemed to be the date that is the tenth (10^th) business day following the expiry of the Blackout Period.

Unless otherwise determined from time to time by the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, or, in respect of Delegated Options, by the CEO, Options shall vest and may be exercised (in each case to the nearest full Share) during the Option Period as follows:

(a) at any time during the first six (6) months of the Option Period, the Optionee may purchase up to 25% of the total number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to his or her Option; and

(b) at any time during each additional six (6) month period of the Option Period the Optionee may purchase an additional 25% of the total number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to his or her Option plus any Shares not purchased in accordance with the preceding subsection (a) and this subsection (b) until, after the 18^th month of the Option Period, 100% of the Option will be exercisable.

Except as set forth in Section 3.6, no Option may be exercised unless the Optionee is at the time of such exercise:

(a) in the case of an Eligible Employee, in the employ (or retained as a Service Provider) of the Company or a Designated Affiliate and shall have been continuously so employed or retained since the grant of the Option; or

(b) in the case of an Eligible Director, a director of the Company or a Designated Affiliate and shall have been such a director continuously since the grant of the Option.

The exercise of any Option will be contingent upon the Optionee having entered into an Option agreement with the Company on such terms and conditions as have been approved by the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, or, in respect of the Delegated Options, by the CEO, and which in any case incorporates by reference the terms of this Plan. The exercise of any Option will, subject to Section 3.5, also be contingent upon receipt by the Company of cash payment of the full purchase price of the Shares being purchased.

- 9 -

3.5 Cashless Surrender Right

Participants have the right (the "Cashless Surrender Right"), in lieu of the right to exercise an Option, to surrender such Option in whole or in part by notice in writing delivered by the Participant to the Company electing to exercise the Cashless Surrender Right, and, in lieu of receiving the full number of Shares (the "Option Shares") to which such surrendered Option (or portion thereof) relates, to receive the number of Shares, disregarding fractions, which is equal to the quotient obtained by:

(a) subtracting the applicable Option exercise price per Share from the Fair Market Value per Share on the business day immediately prior to the exercise of the Cashless Surrender Right and multiplying the remainder by the number of Option Shares; and

(b) dividing the product obtained under subsection 3.5(a) by the Fair Market Value per Share on the business day immediately prior to the exercise of the Cashless Surrender Right.

If a Participant exercises a Cashless Surrender Right in connection with an Option, it is exercisable only to the extent and on the same conditions that the related Option is exercisable under this Plan.

3.6 Effect of Termination of Employment or Death

If an Optionee:

(a) dies while employed by a Service Provider to, or while a director of, the Company or a Designated Affiliate, any Option held by him or her at the date of death shall become exercisable in whole or in part, but only by the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the Option shall pass by the Optionee's will or applicable laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, all such Options shall be exercisable only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of his or her death and only for 12 months after the date of death or prior to the expiration of the Option Period in respect thereof, whichever is sooner; and

(b) ceases to be employed by a Service Provider to, or act as a director of, the Company or a Designated Affiliate for cause, no Option held by such Optionee will, unless otherwise determined by the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, be exercisable following the date on which such Optionee ceases to be so engaged. If an Optionee ceases to be employed by, a Service Provider to, or act as a director of, the Company or a Designated Affiliate for any reason other than cause then, unless otherwise determined by the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, any Option held by such Optionee at the effective date thereof shall become exercisable for a period of up to 12 months thereafter or prior to the expiration of the Option Period in respect thereof, whichever is sooner.

- 10 -

3.7 Effect of Change of Control

If a Triggering Event occurs within the 12-month period immediately following a Change of Control pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(m)(A), (B), (D) or (E), all outstanding Options shall vest immediately and become exercisable on the date of such Triggering Event.

In the event of a Change of Control pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(m)(C), all Options outstanding shall immediately vest and become exercisable on the date of such Change of Control.

The provisions of this Section 3.7 shall be subject to the terms of any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company.

3.8 Effect of Amalgamation or Merger

Subject to Section 3.7, if the Company amalgamates or otherwise completes a plan of arrangement or merges with or into another corporation, any Shares receivable on the exercise of an Option shall be converted into the securities, property or cash which the Participant would have received upon such amalgamation, arrangement or merger if the Participant had exercised his or her Option immediately prior to the record date applicable to such amalgamation, arrangement or merger, and the option price shall be adjusted appropriately by the Board and such adjustment shall be binding for all purposes of this Plan.

PART 4
RESTRICTED SHARE RIGHTS AND PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

4.1 Participants

The Board has the right to grant, in its sole and absolute discretion, to any Participant, rights to receive any number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares ("Restricted Share Rights" or "Restricted Share Units") as a discretionary payment in consideration of past services to the Company or as an incentive for future services, subject to this Plan and with such additional provisions and restrictions as the Board may determine. Restricted Share Rights may be granted subject to performance conditions and/or performance multipliers, in which case such Restricted Share Rights may be designated as "Performance Share Units".

4.2 Restricted Share Right Grant Letter

Each grant of a Restricted Share Right under this Plan shall be evidenced by a grant letter or agreement (a "Restricted Share Right Grant Letter") issued to the Participant by the Company. Such Restricted Share Right Grant Letter shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with this Plan and which the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, deems appropriate for inclusion in a Restricted Share Right Grant Letter. The provisions of the various Restricted Share Right Grant Letters issued under this Plan need not be identical.

4.3 Restricted Period

Concurrent with the determination to grant Restricted Share Rights to a Participant, the Board, on the recommendation of the Committee, shall determine the Restricted Period and vesting requirements applicable to such Restricted Share Rights. Vesting of a Restricted Share Right shall be determined at the sole discretion of the Board at the time of grant and shall be specified in the Restricted Share Right Grant Letter. Vesting requirements may be based upon the continued employment or other service of a Participant, and/or to performance conditions to be achieved by the Company or a class of Participants or by a particular Participant on an individual basis, within a Restricted Period, for such Restricted Share Rights to entitle the holder thereof to receive the underlying Shares (and the number of underlying Shares that may be received may be subject to performance multipliers). Upon expiry of the applicable Restricted Period (or on the Deferred Payment Date, as applicable), a Restricted Share Right shall be automatically settled, and without the payment of additional consideration or any other further action on the part of the holder of the Restricted Share Right, the underlying Shares shall be issued to the holder of such Restricted Share Rights, which Restricted Share Rights shall then be cancelled.

- 11 -

4.4 Deferred Payment Date

Participants who are residents of Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), or who are residents of Argentina, and not, in either case, a US Taxpayer, may elect to defer to receive all or any part of the Shares underlying Restricted Share Rights until one or more Deferred Payment Dates. Any other Participants may not elect a Deferred Payment Date.

4.5 Prior Notice of Deferred Payment Date

Participants who elect to set a Deferred Payment Date must, in respect of each such Deferred Payment Date, give the Company written notice of the Deferred Payment Date(s) not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the applicable Restricted Period. For certainty, Participants shall not be permitted to give any such notice after the day which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period and a notice once given may not be changed or revoked. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prevent a Participant from electing an additional Deferred Payment Date, provided, however that notice of such election is given by the Participant to the Company not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the subject Restricted Period.

4.6 Retirement or Termination during Restricted Period

Subject to the terms of any employment agreement or Award agreement between the Company and the Participant, in the event and to the extent of the Retirement or Termination and/or, as applicable, the Director Retirement or Director Termination of a Participant from all such roles with the Company during the Restricted Period, any Restricted Share Rights held by the Participant shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that the Board shall have the absolute discretion to modify the Restricted Share Rights, including to provide that the Restricted Period shall terminate immediately prior to the date of such occurrence or allow the Restricted Share Rights to continue in accordance with their original Restricted Periods.

4.7 Retirement or Termination after Restricted Period

In the event and to the extent of the Retirement or Termination and/or, as applicable, the Director Retirement or Director Termination of the Participant from all such roles with the Company following the Restricted Period and prior to a Deferred Payment Date, the Participant shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall issue forthwith, Shares in satisfaction of the Restricted Share Rights then held by the Participant.

- 12 -

4.8 Death or Disability of Participant

In the event of the death or total disability of a Participant, any Shares represented by Restricted Share Rights held by the Participant shall be immediately issued by the Company to the Participant or legal representative of the Participant.

4.9 Payment of Dividends

Subject to the absolute discretion of the Board, in the event that a dividend (other than a stock dividend) is declared and paid by the Company on the Shares, a Participant may be credited with additional Restricted Share Rights. The number of such additional Restricted Share Rights, if any, will be calculated by dividing (a) the total amount of the dividends that would have been paid to the Participant if the Restricted Share Rights (including Restricted Share Rights in which the Restricted Period has expired but the Shares have not been issued due to a Deferred Payment Date) in the Participant's account on the dividend record date had been outstanding Shares (and the Participant held no other Shares) by (b) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date on which such dividends were paid. If the foregoing results in a fractional Restricted Share Right, the fraction shall be disregarded. Any additional Restricted Share Rights awarded pursuant to this Section will be subject to the same terms, including the time of settlement, as the Restricted Share Rights to which they relate.

4.10 Change of Control

If a Triggering Event occurs within the 12-month period immediately following a Change of Control pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(m)(A), (B), (D) or (E), all outstanding Restricted Share Right Rights shall vest immediately and be settled by the issuance of Shares notwithstanding the Restricted Period and any Deferred Payment Date.

In the event of a Change of Control pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1(m)(C), all Restricted Shares Rights outstanding shall immediately vest and be settled by the issuance of Shares notwithstanding the Restricted Period and any Deferred Payment Date.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan, in the event of a Change of Control, all Arrangement Restricted Share Rights outstanding held by Arrangement Departing Participants shall vest immediately and be settled by the issuance of Shares notwithstanding the Restricted Period and any Deferred Payment Date.

The provisions of this Section 4.10 shall be subject to the terms of any employment agreement between the Participant and the Company.

4.11 Settlement Basis for Performance Share Units

In respect of Performance Share Units that are accelerated as a result of a Change of Control or the total disability or death of a Participant, unless the Board determines otherwise and subject to any employment agreement or Award agreement between the Company and the Participant, (i) in respect of any performance measurement periods that are completed on or prior to the Change of Control, total disability or death of a Participant, the proportion of Performance Share Units equivalent to the performance measurement periods completed shall be settled by applying a performance multiplier calculated based on the actual performance in respect to such completed periods, and (ii) in respect of any performance measurement periods that are not completed on or prior to the Change of Control, total disability or death of a Participant, the equivalent proportion of Performance Share Units in respect to such periods shall be settled by applying a performance multiplier of one Share for each Performance Share Unit.

- 13 -

PART 5
DEFERRED SHARE UNITS

5.1 Deferred Share Unit Grants

The Board may from time to time determine to grant Deferred Share Units to one or more Eligible Directors in a lump sum amount or on regular intervals, based on such formulas or criteria as the Board may from time to time determine. Deferred Share Units will be credited to the Eligible Director's account when designated by the Board.

5.2 Deferred Share Unit Grant Letter

Each grant of a Deferred Share Unit under this Plan shall be evidenced by a grant letter or agreement (a "Deferred Share Unit Grant Letter") issued to the Eligible Director by the Company. Such Deferred Share Unit Grant Letter shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of this Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with this Plan and which the Board deems appropriate for inclusion in a Deferred Share Unit Grant Letter. The provisions of Deferred Share Unit Grant Letters issued under this Plan need not be identical.

5.3 Redemption of Deferred Share Units and Issuance of Deferred Shares

The Deferred Share Units held by each Eligible Director who is not a US Taxpayer shall be redeemed automatically and with no further action by the Eligible Director on the 20^th business day following the Separation Date for that Eligible Director. For US Taxpayers, Deferred Share Units held by an Eligible Director who is a Specified Employee will be automatically redeemed with no further action by the Eligible Director on the date that is six (6) months following the Separation Date for the Eligible Director, or if earlier, upon such Eligible Director's death. Upon redemption, the former Eligible Director shall be entitled to receive and the Company shall issue, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1 of this Plan, the number of Shares issued from treasury equal to the number of Deferred Share Units in the Eligible Director's account, subject to any applicable deductions and withholdings. In the event a Separation Date occurs during a year and Deferred Share Units have been granted to such Eligible Director for that entire year, the Eligible Director will only be entitled to a pro-rated Deferred Share Unit Payment in respect of such Deferred Share Units based on the number of days that he or she was an Eligible Director in such year.

No amount will be paid to, or in respect of, an Eligible Director under this Plan or pursuant to any other arrangement, and no other additional Deferred Share Units will be granted to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the value of the Shares of the Company nor will any other benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, an Eligible Director for such purpose.

- 14 -

5.4 Death of Participant

In the event of the death of an Eligible Director, the Deferred Share Units shall be redeemed automatically and with no further action on the 20^th business day following the death of an Eligible Director.

5.5 Payment of Dividends

Subject to the absolute discretion of the Board, in the event that a dividend (other than a stock dividend) is declared and paid by the Company on the Shares, an Eligible Director may be credited with additional Deferred Share Units. The number of such additional Deferred Share Units, if any, will be calculated by dividing (a) the total amount of the dividends that would have been paid to the Eligible Director if the Deferred Share Units in the Eligible Director's account on the dividend record date had been outstanding Shares (and the Eligible Director held no other Shares), by (b) the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date on which such dividends were paid. If the foregoing results in a fractional Deferred Share Unit, the fraction shall be disregarded. Any additional Deferred Share Units awarded pursuant to this Section will be subject to the same terms, including the time of settlement, as the Deferred Share Units to which they relate.

PART 6
WITHHOLDING TAXES

6.1 Withholding Taxes

The Company or any Designated Affiliate may take such steps as are considered necessary or appropriate for the withholding of any taxes or other amounts which the Company or any Designated Affiliate is required by any law or regulation of any governmental authority whatsoever to withhold in connection with any Award including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the withholding of all or any portion of any payment or the withholding of the issue of any Shares to be issued under this Plan, until such time as the Participant has paid the Company or any Designated Affiliate for any amount which the Company or Designated Affiliate is required to withhold by law with respect to such taxes or other amounts. Without limitation to the foregoing, the Board may adopt administrative rules under this Plan, which provide for the automatic sale of Shares (or a portion thereof) in the market upon the issuance of such Shares under this Plan on behalf of the Participant to satisfy withholding obligations under an Award.

PART 7
GENERAL

7.1 Number of Shares

The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under this Plan (together with any other securities-based compensation arrangements of the Company in effect from time to time) shall not exceed 14,400,737 Shares, such Shares to be allocated among Awards and Participants in amounts and at such times as may be determined by the Board from time to time. In addition, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued and issuable under this Plan (when combined with all of the Company's other security-based compensation arrangements, as applicable),

(a) to Insiders shall not exceed 10% of the Company's outstanding issue from time-to-time;

- 15 -

(b) to Insiders within any one-year period shall not exceed 10% of the Company's outstanding issue from time to time; and

(c) to any one Insider and his or her associates or Affiliates within any one-year period shall not exceed 5% of the Company's outstanding issue from time to time.

In no event will the number of Shares that may be issued to any one Participant pursuant to Awards under this Plan (when combined with all of the Company's other security-based compensation arrangement, as applicable) exceed 5% of the Company's outstanding issue from time to time.

The aggregate number of Options that may be granted under this Plan to any one non-employee director of the Company within any one-year period shall not exceed a maximum value of C$100,000 worth of securities, and together with any Restricted Share Rights and Deferred Share Units granted under this Plan and any securities granted under all other securities-based compensation arrangements, such aggregate value shall not exceed C$150,000 in any on-year period. The calculation of this limitation shall not include however: (i) the initial securities granted under securities-based compensation arrangements to a person who was not previously a director of the Company, upon such person becoming or agreeing to become a director of the Company (however, the aggregate number of securities granted under all securities-based compensation arrangements in this initial grant to any one non-employee director shall not exceed the foregoing maximum values of securities); (ii) the securities granted under securities-based compensation arrangements to a director of the Company who was also an officer of the Company at the time of grant but who subsequently became a non-employee director; and (iii) any securities granted to a non-employee director that is granted in lieu of any director cash fee provided the value of the security awarded has the same value as the cash fee given up in exchange for such security. For greater clarity, in this Plan, securities-based compensation arrangements include securities issued under this Plan and any other compensation arrangements implemented by the Company including stock options, other stock option plans, employee stock purchase plans, stock appreciation right plans, deferred share unit plans, performance share unit plans, restricted share unit plans or any other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issuance of Shares from treasury, but excludes any compensation arrangement that does not involve the issuance of Shares from treasury and any other compensation arrangements assumed or inherited by the Company in connection with the acquisition of another entity.

For the purposes of this Section 7.1, "outstanding issue" means the total number of Shares, on a non-diluted basis, that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the date that any Shares are issued or reserved for issuance pursuant to an Award.

For greater clarity, the issuance of Arrangement Restricted Share Rights and Arrangement Deferred Share Units shall not be treated as a new grant of Restricted Share Rights and Deferred Share Units, respectively.

7.2 Lapsed Awards

If Awards are surrendered, terminated or expire without being exercised in whole or in part, new Awards may be granted covering the Shares not issued under such lapsed Awards, subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by the Toronto Stock Exchange.

- 16 -

7.3 Adjustment in Shares Subject to this Plan

If there is any change in the Shares through the declaration of stock dividends of Shares, through any consolidations, subdivisions or reclassification of Shares, or otherwise, the number of Shares available under this Plan, the Shares subject to any Award, and the exercise price of any Option shall be adjusted as determined to be appropriate by the Board, and such adjustment shall be effective and binding for all purposes of this Plan.

7.4 Transferability

Any Awards accruing to any Participant in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan shall not be transferable unless specifically provided herein. During the lifetime of a Participant all Awards may only be exercised by the Participant. Awards are non-transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

7.5 Employment

Nothing contained in this Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to employment or continuance of employment with the Company or any Affiliate, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the Participant's employment at any time. Participation in this Plan by a Participant is voluntary.

7.6 Record Keeping

The Company shall maintain a register in which shall be recorded:

(a) the name and address of each Participant;

(b) the number of Awards granted to each Participant and relevant details regarding such Awards; and

7.7 Necessary Approvals

This second amended and restated equity incentive plan of the Corporation continues to be in effect. The amendments adopted by the Board on May 15, 2023 shall become effective on such date, except for Part 9 which shall become effective on the Arrangement Effective Date as contemplated in the Plan of Arrangement, subject in all cases to the approval of (a) the Toronto Stock Exchange and (b) the New York Stock Exchange.

7.8 Amendments to Plan

The Board shall have the power to, at any time and from time to time, either prospectively or retrospectively, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan or any Award granted under this Plan without shareholder approval, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: changes of a clerical or grammatical nature, changes regarding the persons eligible to participate in this Plan, changes to the exercise price, vesting, term and termination provisions of the Award, changes to the Cashless Surrender Right provisions, changes to the authority and role of the Board under this Plan, and any other matter relating to this Plan and the Awards that may be granted hereunder, provided however that:

- 17 -

(a) such amendment, suspension or termination is in accordance with applicable laws and the rules of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed;

(b) no amendment to this Plan or to an Award granted hereunder will have the effect of impairing, derogating from or otherwise adversely affecting the terms of an Award which is outstanding at the time of such amendment without the written consent of the holder of such Award;

(c) the expiry date of an Option Period in respect of an Option shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date of grant of an Option except as expressly provided in Section 3.4;

(d) the Directors shall obtain shareholder approval of:

(i) any amendment to the number of Shares specified in Section 7.1;

(ii) any amendment to the limitations on Shares that may be reserved for issuance, or issued, to Insiders, or remove participation limits on non-employee directors or increase the amounts of participation limits on non-employee directors;

(iii) any amendment that would reduce the exercise price of an outstanding Option other than pursuant to Section 7.3 or permits the cancellation and re-issuance of Options;

(iv) any amendment that would extend the expiry date of the Option Period in respect of any Option granted under this Plan except as expressly contemplated in Section 3.4;

(v) any amendment to permit Options to be transferred other than for normal estate settlement purposes; or

(vi) any amendment to reduce the range of amendments requiring shareholder approval contemplated in this Section.

If this Plan is terminated, the provisions of this Plan and any administrative guidelines and other rules and regulations adopted by the Board and in force on the date of termination will continue in effect as long as any Award or any rights pursuant thereto remain outstanding and, notwithstanding the termination of this Plan, the Board shall remain able to make such amendments to this Plan or the Award as they would have been entitled to make if this Plan were still in effect.

7.9 No Representation or Warranty
