Explanation of Responses:
1. On February 25, 2000, Amadeus Capital Corporation, a company wholly-owned by Mr. Nadal, entered into a monetization program for proceeds of Cdn$35,000,000 and pledged as security to the lender a portfolio of shares that included 2,235,342 Class A subordinate voting shares of the Issuer, together with securities of other companies. Under this previously-disclosed monetization arrangement, the lender's recourse is limited to the pledged portfolio of shares. On September 8, 2005, Amadeus Capital Corporation transferred beneficial ownership of the pledged securities, including 2,235,342 Class A subordinate voting shares of the Issuer, to CIBC Capital Partners, the lender under this monetization arrangement.
2. Amadeus Capital Corporation did not receive any proceeds from this transfer of shares, which were transferred in satisfaction of the obligations under the monetization arangement described in footnote (1) above.
3. Following the transfer described in footnote (1) above, (a) Amadeus Capital Corporation does not directly or indirectly own or control any securities of the Issuer; and (b) Miles Nadal directly owns 1,805,811 Class A subordinate voting shares of the Issuer.
4. The Beneficial Owner of the shares of the Issuer, prior to transfer, was Amadeus Capital Corporation.
