POST CLOSING COVENANTS

10.1 Cooperation. After the Closing, upon the request of Purchaser, each of Shareholders shall (i) execute and deliver any and all further materials, documents and instruments of conveyance, transfer or assignment as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser to effect, record or verify the transfer to, and vesting in Purchaser, of Shareholders’ right, title and interest in and to the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (ii) cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s expense, to enforce the terms of any Contracts, including terms relating to confidentiality and Intellectual Property Rights, and to contest or defend against any Proceeding relating to the Transaction or to the operation of Target Company’s business and operations before the Effective Time. After the Closing, Seller shall (a) cooperate with Purchaser in its efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Purchaser those business relationships of Target Company existing prior to the Closing and relating to the business to be operated by Target Company after the Closing; and (b) promptly deliver to Purchaser (i) any mail, packages and other communications addressed to Target Company relating to Target Company and (ii) any cash or other property that any Shareholder receives and that properly belongs to Target Company, including any insurance proceeds, payments with respect to Receivables, and interest payable thereon. No Shareholder or any of its officers, employees, agents or stockholders shall take any action that would tend to diminish the value of Target Company after the Closing or that would interfere with the business of Target Company or Purchaser to be engaged in after the Closing, including disparaging the name or business of Target Company, Purchaser or Surge.

10.2 Area of Exclusion. As of the Closing Date, an area of exclusion is hereby established for a period of two (2) years from the Effective Time to include any interest in Oil Sands Rights underlying those lands within the boundaries of the area outlined in blue on Exhibit 10.2 (the “Exclusion Area”). Each of Shareholders, for themselves and for each of their respective Affiliates, hereby agrees that if such Shareholder or any of such Shareholder’s Affiliates acquires any right or interest within the Exclusion Area during the such two (2) year term other than a right or interest made available through Surge or Purchaser, within 30 days of that acquisition, 100% of such right or interest shall be immediately offered to Purchaser for a like amount of the consideration expended by Shareholder, or its Affiliate, for such right or interest, whether such consideration be monetary, incurred obligations or otherwise.

10.3 Nondisclosure. After the Effective Time, except as may be required for Tax purposes or other regulatory purposes, neither Shareholders nor any of their respective successors and assigns shall (a) retain any document, databases or other media embodying any confidential or proprietary know-how which constitutes the assets or properties of Target Company or use, publish or disclose to any third person any such confidential or proprietary know-how. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, (i) Shareholders shall treat, and cause Target Company to treat, as confidential and proprietary and shall not disclose or use, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, or permit others under its control to disclose or to use, any information concerning Purchaser, Surge or their respective businesses or products obtained pursuant to or in connection with the Transaction which are the subject matter of this Agreement, unless such information is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no fault of any Shareholder or Target Company and (ii) Shareholders shall promptly return, and cause Target Company to return, to Purchaser or Surge, as applicable, upon written request all written information and documents received from any other party, its affiliates, accountants or counsel, in connection with such Transaction, including all copies thereof. The provisions of this Section 10.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

10.4 Registration Statement.

(a) Within 45 days following the Closing, Surge covenants to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form SB-2 (“SB-2 Registration Statement”) registering the Surge Securities for resale by Shareholders. Surge covenants to keep the SB-2 Registration Statement effective for up to two years following the date the SB-2 Registration Statement becomes effective or, if earlier, until Shareholders have completed the distribution related thereto. Surge shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the SB-2 Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such SB-2 Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the SB-2 Registration Statement. Surge shall furnish to Shareholders such number of copies of a prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Surge Securities owned by them. Surge shall notify each Shareholder by written notice to the address set forth on the books of Purchaser (unless Purchaser is notified in writing of a different address for a Shareholder) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the SB-2 Registration Statement as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.4(a), if Surge becomes eligible to register the Surge Securities on Form S-3, Purchaser shall cause Surge to (i) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (“S-3 Registration Statement”) registering the Surge Securities for resale by Shareholders; and (ii) Surge shall keep the S-3 Registration Statement effective for a period of up to three years following the date the SB-2 Registration Statement (as opposed to the S-3 Registration Statement) became effective or, if earlier, until Shareholders have completed the distribution related thereto. At such time as the SEC declares the S-3 Registration Statement effective, Surge shall no longer have any obligations under Section 10.4(a). Surge shall furnish to Shareholders such number of copies of a prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Surge Securities owned by them. Surge shall notify each Shareholder by written notice to the address set forth on the books of Purchaser (unless Purchaser is notified in writing of a different address for a Shareholder) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the S-3 Registration Statement as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(c) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Surge to take any action under this Section 10.4 that the selling Shareholders shall furnish to Surge such information regarding themselves, the Surge Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as may be reasonably requested by Surge and as shall be required to effect the registration of their Surge Securities.

10.5 General Release. Promptly following the Effective Time, the Target Company shall execute and deliver a release in the form of Exhibit 10.5 to the Shareholder Representative.

10.6 Private Placement

(l) Each time a Shareholder desires to acquire Surge Securities in exchange for Exchangeable Shares, such Shareholder shall provide Surge with a Subscription Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 10.6 to this Agreement. Surge is hereby required to refuse to register any transfer of any Surge Securities issued to Shareholders (and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) not made in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from registration.

There shall not be any Legal Requirement prohibiting Shareholders from selling or Purchaser from owning, operating or controlling the Shares or Target Company, or that makes this Agreement or the consummation of the Transaction illegal.

ARTICLE 12.

TERMINATION

12.1 Circumstances for Termination. At any time prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be terminated by written notice explaining the reason for such termination (without prejudice to other remedies which may be available to the parties under this Agreement, at law or in equity):

(a) by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and the Requisite Shareholders;

(b) by either Purchaser or the Requisite Shareholders if (i) the non-terminating party is in material Breach of any material provision of this Agreement and such Breach shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days of receipt by such party of written notice from the terminating party of such Breach; and (ii) the terminating party is not, on the date of termination, in material Breach of any material provision of this Agreement;

(c) by either Purchaser or the Requisite Shareholders if (i) the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (as determined pursuant to Section 1.2) for any reason; and (ii) the failure of the terminating party to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has not been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to have occurred on or before the Closing Date (as determined pursuant to Section 1.2); or

ARTICLE 13.

INDEMNIFICATION

13.1 Survival of Representations and Covenants.

(a) Subject to Section 13.1(c), the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of each party to this Agreement shall survive (i) the Closing; (ii) any sale or other disposition of any or all of the Shares by Purchaser; and (iii) the death or dissolution of any party to this Agreement. All of such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive indefinitely unless a shorter period of time is set forth expressly in Section 13.1(c).

(b) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of Shareholders, Target Company, Purchaser and Surge and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnitees, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or any knowledge of, any of the Indemnitees or any of their Representatives.

(c) Subject to Section 13.1(d), (i) all representations and warranties of Shareholders, Purchaser, Target Company and Surge shall survive for a period of one (1) year (i.e., 12 calendar months) following the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”); provided, however, that if a Claim Notice (as defined below) relating to any representation or warranty is given to the indemnifying party on or prior to the applicable Survival Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.1(c), such representation or warranty shall not so expire, but rather shall remain in full force and effect until such time as such claim has been fully and finally resolved, either by means of a written settlement agreement executed on behalf of Shareholders and Purchaser or by means of a final, non-appealable judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 13.1(c), if the indemnifying party had knowledge, on or prior to the Closing Date, of any fact, event or circumstance that constitutes or that has given rise or could be expected to give rise, directly or indirectly, to any Breach of any representation or warranty of the indemnifying party set forth in Article 5, in the case of Shareholders, Article 6 in the case of Purchaser, Article 7 in the case of Shareholders or Target Company, or Article 8 in the case of Surge, without disclosing such fact, event or circumstance, on the applicable Disclosure Schedule, then such representation or warranty shall not expire, but rather shall remain in full force and effect for an unlimited period of time (regardless of whether any Claim Notice relating to such representation or warranty is ever given).

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Claim Notice” relating to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed to have been given if any Indemnitee, acting in good faith, delivers to the indemnifying party a written notice stating that such Indemnitee believes that there is or has been a Breach of such representation or warranty and containing (i) a description in reasonable detail of the circumstances supporting such Indemnitee’s good faith belief that there is or has been such a Breach, and (ii) a non-binding, preliminary estimate of the aggregate dollar amount of the actual and potential Damages that have arisen and may arise as a direct or indirect result of such Breach.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in any Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made in this Agreement.

13.2 Indemnification By Shareholders.

(a) Shareholders, severally and not jointly, shall hold harmless and indemnify each of Purchaser Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of Purchaser Indemnitees for, any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of Purchaser Indemnitees or to which any of Purchaser Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and that arise directly or indirectly from or as a direct or indirect result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

(i) any Breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Shareholders or Target Company in this Agreement, in the Closing Certificate or in any of the other Transaction Agreements;

(ii) any Breach of any representation, warranty, statement, information or provision contained in any Disclosure Schedule;

(iii) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of any Shareholder or Target Company contained in any of the Transaction Agreements; and

(iv) any Proceeding relating directly or indirectly to any Breach, alleged Breach, Liability or matter of the type referred to in clause “(i),” “(ii),”or “(iii)” above (including any Proceeding commenced by any Indemnitee for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 13.2).

(b) Shareholders acknowledge and agree that, if Target Company suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of Target Company as an Indemnitee) Purchaser shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of Target Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

13.3 Indemnification By Purchaser and Surge.

Purchaser and Surge, jointly and severally, shall hold harmless and indemnify each of Shareholder Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of Shareholder Indemnitees for, any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of Shareholder Indemnitees or to which any of Shareholder Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and that arise directly or indirectly from or as a direct or indirect result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

(a) any Breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser or Surge in this Agreement or in the Closing Certificate;

(b) any Breach of any representation, warranty, statement, information or provision contained in any Disclosure Schedule delivered by Surge or Purchaser;

(d) any Proceeding relating directly or indirectly to any Breach, alleged Breach, Liability or matter of the type referred to in clause “(a),” “(b),” or “(c)” above (including any Proceeding commenced by any Indemnitee for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 13.3).

13.4 Environmental Indemnity. Purchaser has taken into account Purchaser’s assumption of responsibility for Environmental Liabilities and Abandonment and Reclamation Obligations and the release of Shareholders from responsibility therefor when Purchaser evaluated the Assets and determined the Purchase Price. Surge, Purchaser and Target Company shall be liable for, and in addition indemnify Shareholders from and against all Environmental Liabilities and all Damages in respect thereto, arising from the conduct of Target Company on, prior to or subsequent to the Closing Date and all Abandonment and Reclamation Obligations. Surge, Purchaser and Target Company shall not be entitled to exercise and hereby waive any rights or remedies Surge, Purchaser or Target Company may now or in the future have against Shareholders in respect of such Environmental Liabilities or the Abandonment and Reclamation Obligations, whether such rights and remedies are pursuant to the common law or statute or otherwise, including without limitation, the right to name Shareholder as a third party to any action commenced by any third party against Surge, Purchaser or Target Company.

13.5 No Contribution. Each Shareholder waives, and acknowledges and agrees that he shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against Target Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Liability to which he may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

13.6 Defense of Third Party Claim.

(a) In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Proceeding (whether against Purchaser, against any other Indemnitee or against any other Person) with respect to which any of Shareholders may become obligated to indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 13, Purchaser shall have the right, at its election, to designate a representative of Shareholders (the “Shareholder Representative”) to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding at the sole expense of Shareholders. If Purchaser so elects to designate Shareholder Representative to assume the defense of any such claim or Proceeding:

(i) Shareholder Representative shall proceed to defend such claim or Proceeding in a diligent manner with counsel satisfactory to Purchaser;

(ii) Purchaser shall make available to Shareholder Representative any non-privileged documents and materials in the possession of Purchaser that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(iii) Shareholder Representative shall keep Purchaser informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or Proceeding;

(iv) Purchaser shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(v) Shareholder Representative shall not settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding without the prior written consent of Purchaser; and

(vi) Purchaser may at any time (notwithstanding the prior designation of Shareholder Representative to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding) assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding.

(b) If Purchaser does not elect to designate Shareholder Representative to assume the defense of any such claim or Proceeding (or if, after initially designating Shareholder Representative to assume such defense, Purchaser elects to assume such defense), Purchaser may proceed with the defense of such claim or Proceeding on its own. If Purchaser so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Proceeding on its own:

(i) all expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Proceeding (whether or not incurred by Purchaser) shall be borne and paid exclusively by Shareholders;

(ii) Shareholders shall make available to Purchaser any documents and materials in the possession or control of either of Shareholders that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(iii) Purchaser shall keep Shareholder Representative informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or Proceeding; and

(iv) Purchaser shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding with the consent of Shareholder Representative; provided, however, that Shareholder Representative shall not unreasonably withhold such consent.

13.7 Exercise Of Remedies By Indemnitees Other Than Parties To This Agreement. No Indemnitee (other than the parties to this Agreement or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless the respective party to this Agreement entitled to indemnification (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

13.8 Interest. Any Shareholder who is required to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 13 with respect to any Damages shall also be liable to such Indemnitee for interest on the amount of such Damages (for the period commencing as of the date on which Shareholder Representative received the notice in Section 13.1 and ending on the date on which the liability of Shareholder to such Indemnitee is fully satisfied by such Shareholder) at a floating rate equal to the rate of interest publicly announced by Bank of America, N.T. & S.A. from time to time as its prime, base or reference rate.

ARTICLE 14.

ARTICLE 3

DIVIDENDS

3.1	A Holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to receive and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Acquiror Dividend Declaration Date, declare a dividend on each Exchangeable Share:

(a)	in the case of a cash dividend declared on the Acquiror Shares, in an amount in cash for each Exchangeable Share in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Acquiror Dividend Declaration Date, in each case, corresponding to the cash dividend declared on each Acquiror Share;
(b)	in the case of a stock dividend declared on the Acquiror Shares, to be paid in Acquiror Shares, subject to Section 3.2, by the issue or transfer by the Corporation of such number of Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share as is equal to the number of Acquiror Shares to be paid on each Acquiror Share; or
(c)	in the case of a dividend declared on the Acquiror Shares in property other than cash or Acquiror Shares, in such type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent to (to be determined by the Board of Directors as contemplated by Section 3.6) the type and amount of property declared as a dividend on each Acquiror Share.

-7-

Such dividends shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable.

3.2

In the case of a stock dividend declared on the Acquiror Shares to be paid in Acquiror Shares, in lieu of declaring the stock dividend contemplated by Section 3.1(b) on the Exchangeable Shares, the Board of Directors may, in good faith and in its discretion and subject to applicable law and to obtaining all required regulatory approvals, subdivide, redivide or change (the "Subdivision") each issued and unissued Exchangeable Share on the basis that each Exchangeable Share before the subdivision becomes a number of Exchangeable Shares equal to the sum of (i) one Acquiror Share and (ii) the number of Acquiror Shares to be paid as a share dividend on each Acquiror Share. In making such Subdivision, the Board of Directors shall consider the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares and the general taxation consequences of the Subdivision to the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares. In such instance, and notwithstanding any other provision hereof, such Subdivision shall become effective on the effective date specified in Section 3.4 without any further act or formality on the part of the Board of Directors or of the Holders of Exchangeable Shares. For greater certainty, subject to applicable law, no approval of the Holders to an amendment to the articles of the Corporation shall be required to give effect to such Subdivision.

3.3

Cheques of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends contemplated by Section 3.1(a) and the sending of such a cheque to each Holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the cash dividend represented thereby unless the cheque is not paid on presentation. Subject to applicable law, certificates registered in the name of the registered Holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends contemplated by Section 3.1(b) or any Subdivision contemplated by Section 3.2 and the sending of such a certificate to each Holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the stock dividend represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends contemplated by Section 3.1(c) shall be issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall determine and the issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each Holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the dividend represented thereby. No Holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend that is represented by a cheque that has not been duly presented to the Corporation's bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which such dividend was first payable.

-8-

3.4	The record date for the determination of the Holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend declared on the Acquiror Shares. The record date for the determination of the Holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive Exchangeable Shares in connection with any Subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.2 and the effective date of such Subdivision shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend declared on the Acquiror Shares.
3.5	If on any payment date for any dividends declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 the dividends are not paid in full on all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends that remain unpaid shall be paid on the earliest subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such dividends.
3.6	The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion, economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and Article 11, and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and its shareholders. In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors to be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors:

(a)	in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Acquiror Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Acquiror Shares previously outstanding;
(b)	in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Acquiror Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Acquiror Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant and the Current Market Price, the volatility of the Acquiror Shares and the term of any such instrument;
(c)	in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including any shares or securities of Acquiror of any class other than Acquiror Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 3.6(b) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Acquiror or any assets of Acquiror) the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Acquiror Share and the Current Market Price; and

-9-

(d)

in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to Holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to Holders of Acquiror Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of Holders of Exchangeable Shares).

3.7	Except as provided in this Article 3, the Holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends in respect thereof.

ARTICLE 4

CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS

4.1	So long as any of the Exchangeable Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not at any time without, but may at any time with, the approval of the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares given as specified in Section 10.2 of these share provisions:

(a)	pay any dividends on the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, other than stock dividends payable in Common Shares or any such other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, as the case may be;
(b)	redeem or purchase or make any capital distribution in respect of Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or on any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation;
(c)	redeem or purchase or make any capital distribution in respect of any other shares of the Corporation ranking equally with the Exchangeable Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or on any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation; or
(d)	issue any Exchangeable Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking equally with, or superior to, the Exchangeable Shares other than by way of stock dividends to the Holders of such Exchangeable Shares;

-10-

provided that the restrictions in Sections 4.1(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall not apply if all dividends on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares corresponding to dividends declared and paid to date on the Acquiror Shares shall have been declared and paid on the Exchangeable Shares.

ARTICLE 5

DISTRIBUTION ON LIQUIDATION

5.1

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, a Holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive from the assets of the Corporation in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such Holder on the effective date (the "Liquidation Date") of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or distribution of assets, before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Corporation among the Holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Liquidation Date (the "Liquidation Amount").

5.2

On or promptly after the Liquidation Date, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount for each such Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the ABCA and the articles and by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent, if any, and the Corporation may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent, if any, as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares. Payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each Holder, at the address of the Holder recorded in the register of the Corporation for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by the Holder at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent, if any, as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the Holders of Exchangeable Shares, on behalf of the Corporation of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount. On and after the Liquidation Date, the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall cease to be Holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of Holders in respect thereof (including any rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement), other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount, unless payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of share certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the Holders shall remain unaffected until the total Liquidation Amount to which such Holders are entitled shall have been paid to such Holders in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Corporation shall have the right at any time on or before the Liquidation Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the Exchangeable Share Consideration in respect of the Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the Liquidation Date been surrendered by the Holders thereof in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada. Upon such deposit being made, the rights of the Holders of Exchangeable Shares, after such deposit, shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or deposit of such Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Acquiror Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf.

-11-

5.3

After the Corporation has satisfied its obligations to pay the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount per Exchangeable Share pursuant to Section 5.1 of these share provisions, such Holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 6

RETRACTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY HOLDER

6.1

A Holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time, upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 6, to require the Corporation to redeem any or all of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such Holder for an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (the "Retraction Price"), which shall be satisfied in full by the Corporation causing to be delivered to such Holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Price. To effect such redemption, the Holder shall present and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent, if any, as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the Holders of Exchangeable Shares, the certificate or certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares which the Holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the ABCA and the articles and by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent, if any, and the Corporation may reasonably require, and together with a duly executed statement (the "Retraction Request") in the form of Schedule “A” hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Corporation:

-12-

(a)

specifying that the Holder desires to have all or any number specified therein of the Exchangeable Shares represented by such certificate or certificates (the "Retracted Shares") redeemed by the Corporation; and

(b)

stating the Business Day on which the Holder desires to have the Corporation redeem the Retracted Shares (the "Retraction Date"), provided that the Retraction Date shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 15 Business Days after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation and further provided that, in the event that no such Business Day is specified by the Holder in the Retraction Request, the Retraction Date shall be deemed to be the 15^th Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation.

6.2

Upon receipt by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent, if any, in the manner specified in Section 6.1 of a certificate or certificates representing the number of Retracted Shares, together with a Retraction Request and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent, if any, and the Corporation may reasonably require, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the Holder in the manner specified in Section 6.6, the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date and shall cause to be delivered to such Holder the total Retraction Price with respect to such shares in accordance with Section 6.3. If only a part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate is redeemed, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the Holder at the expense of the Corporation.

6.3

The Corporation shall deliver or cause the Transfer Agent, if any, to deliver to the relevant Holder, at the address of the Holder recorded in the register of the Corporation for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the Holder's Retraction Request or, if specified in such Retraction Request, by holding for pick-up by the Holder at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent, if any, as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to such Holder of Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price and such delivery of such Exchangeable Share Consideration to the Holder or the Transfer Agent, if any, shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the total Retraction Price to the extent that the same is represented by such Exchangeable Share Consideration.

-13-

6.4

On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the Holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a Holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the total Retraction Price unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the total Retraction Price shall not be made as provided in Section 6.3, in which case the rights of such Holder shall remain unaffected until the total Retraction Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of the total Retraction Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Corporation shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of Acquiror Shares delivered to it.

6.5

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, the Corporation shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a Holder in a Retraction Request to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law. If the Corporation believes, acting reasonably, that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on such date, the Corporation shall only be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a Holder in a Retraction Request to the extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the Holder at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Corporation. In any case in which the redemption by the Corporation of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law, the Corporation shall redeem the maximum number of Exchangeable Shares which the Board of Directors determines the Corporation is permitted to redeem as of the Retraction Date on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each Holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6.2. Provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the Holder in the manner specified in Section 6.6, the Holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6.2 as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law shall be deemed by giving the Retraction Request to have instructed the Trustee to require Acquiror to purchase such Retracted Shares from such Holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by Acquiror to such Holder of the Retraction Price for each such Retracted Share, all as more specifically provided in the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement.

-14-

6.6	A Holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the Holder to the Corporation before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw its Retraction Request, in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void.

ARTICLE 7

REDEMPTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY THE CORPORATION

7.1	Subject to applicable law, the Corporation shall on the Redemption Date redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price").
7.2	In any case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares under this Article 7, the Corporation shall, at least 45 days before the Redemption Date (other than a Redemption Date established in connection with an Acquiror Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event), send or cause to be sent to each Holder of Exchangeable Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Corporation of the Exchangeable Shares held by such Holder. In the case of a Redemption Date established in connection with an Acquiror Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, the written notice of redemption by the Corporation will be sent on or before the Redemption Date, on as many days prior written notice as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances. In any such case, such notice shall set out the formula for determining the Redemption Price and the Redemption Date. In the case of any notice given in connection with a possible Redemption Date, such notice will be given contingently and will be withdrawn if the contingency does not occur.
7.3	On or after the Redemption Date, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Price for each such Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent, if any, as may be specified by the Corporation in the notice described in Section 6.6 of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the ABCA and the articles and by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent, if any, and the Corporation may reasonably require.

-15-

Payment of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each Holder, at the address of the Holder recorded in the securities register of the Corporation or by holding for pick-up by the Holder at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent, if any, as may be specified by the Corporation in such notice, on behalf of the Corporation of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Redemption Price. On and after the Redemption Date, the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be Holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of Holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price, unless payment of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the Holders shall remain unaffected until the total Redemption Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Corporation shall have the right at any time after the sending of notice of its intention to redeem the Exchangeable Shares as aforesaid to deposit or cause to be deposited the Exchangeable Share Consideration with respect to the Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, or of such of the said Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the Holders thereof in connection with such redemption, in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada named in such notice. Upon the later of such deposit being made and the Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the Holders thereof after such deposit or Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or deposit of such Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of Acquiror Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf.

Article 8

PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION

8.1	Subject to applicable law and the articles of the Corporation and notwithstanding Section 8.2, the Corporation may at any time and from time to time purchase for cancellation all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares by private agreement with any Holder of Exchangeable Shares.

8.2

Subject to applicable law and the articles of the Corporation, the Corporation may at any time and from time to time purchase for cancellation all or any part of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares by tender to all the Holders of record of Exchangeable Shares then outstanding or through the facilities of any stock exchange on which the Exchangeable Shares are listed or quoted, if any, at any price per share together with an amount equal to all declared and unpaid dividends thereon for which the record date has occurred prior to the date of purchase. If in response to an invitation for tenders under the provisions of this Section 8.2, more Exchangeable Shares are tendered at a price or prices acceptable to the Corporation than the Corporation is prepared to purchase, the Exchangeable Shares to be purchased by the Corporation shall be purchased as nearly as may be pro rata according to the number of shares tendered by each Holder who submits a tender to the Corporation, provided that when shares are tendered at different prices, the pro rating shall be effected (disregarding fractions) only with respect to the shares tendered at the price at which more shares were tendered than the Corporation is prepared to purchase after the Corporation has purchased all the shares tendered at lower prices. If only part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate shall be purchased, a new certificate for the balance of such shares shall be issued at the expense of the Corporation.

ARTICLE 9

VOTING RIGHTS

9.1	Except as required by applicable law and by Article 10, Section 11.1 and Section 12.2, the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or to vote at any such meeting.

At such adjourned meeting, the Holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than Acquiror and its Affiliates) present or represented by proxy thereat may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by the affirmative vote of not less than 66-2/3% of the votes cast on such resolution by Holders (other than Acquiror and its Affiliates) represented in person or by proxy at such meeting shall constitute the approval or consent of the Holders of the Exchangeable Shares.

QUALIFICATION OF ACQUIROR SHARES

Acquiror covenants that if any Acquiror Shares (or other shares or securities into which Acquiror Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.7 hereof) to be issued and delivered hereunder (including for greater certainty, pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or pursuant to the Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Rights (each as defined in the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement)) require registration or qualification with, or approval of, or the filing of any document, including any prospectus or similar document, the taking of any proceeding with, or the obtaining of any order, ruling or consent from, any governmental or regulatory authority under any Canadian or United States federal, provincial, territorial or state securities or other law or regulation or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any securities or other regulatory authority, or the fulfilment of any other United States or Canadian legal requirement (collectively, the “Applicable Laws”) before such shares (or other shares or securities into which Acquiror Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.7 hereof) may be issued and delivered by Acquiror at the direction of the Corporation, if applicable, to the holder of surrendered Exchangeable Shares or in order that such shares (or other shares or securities into which Acquiror Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.7 hereof) may be freely traded thereafter (other than any restrictions of general application on transfer by reason of a holder being a “control person” of Acquiror for purposes of Canadian provincial securities law or an “affiliate” of Acquiror for purposes of United States federal or state securities law), Acquiror will use its reasonable best efforts and in good faith expeditiously take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable and within its power to cause such Acquiror Shares (or other shares or securities into which Acquiror Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.7 hereof) to be and remain duly registered, qualified or approved under United States and/or Canadian law, as the case may be, to the extent expressly provided in the Acquisition Agreement. Acquiror will use its reasonable best efforts and in good faith expeditiously take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to cause all Acquiror Shares (or other shares or securities into which Acquiror Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.7 hereof) to be delivered hereunder to be listed, quoted or posted for trading on all stock exchanges and quotation systems on which outstanding Acquiror Shares (or other shares or securities into which Acquiror Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.7 hereof) are listed and are quoted or posted for trading at such time.

2.7

ECONOMIC EQUIVALENCE

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by Acquiror or its Affiliates are outstanding:

-6-

(i)	issue or distribute Acquiror Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Acquiror Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Acquiror Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than an issue of Acquiror Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Acquiror Shares) to holders of Acquiror Shares who (A) exercise an option to receive dividends in Acquiror Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Acquiror Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends, or (B) pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or scrip dividend; or

unless the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such rights, options, warrants, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets is issued or distributed simultaneously to holders of the Exchangeable Shares; provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by Acquiror in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Acquisition Agreement.

(b)	Acquiror will not without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions:

(ii)	reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding Acquiror Shares into a lesser number of Acquiror Shares; or
(iii)	reclassify or otherwise change Acquiror Shares or effect an amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting the Acquiror Shares,

-7-

(c)

Acquiror will ensure that the record date for any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) above, or (if no record date is applicable for such event) the effective date for any such event, is not less than five Business Days after the date on which such event is declared or announced by Acquiror (with contemporaneous notification thereof by Acquiror to the Corporation).

(d)

The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion, economic equivalence for the purposes of any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) above and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on Acquiror and the holders of Exchangeable Shares. In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors of the Corporation:

(i)	in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Acquiror Shares, the number of such shares issued as a result of any stock dividend or other distribution in proportion to the number of Acquiror Shares previously outstanding;
(ii)	in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Acquiror Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Acquiror Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant and the Current Market Price, the volatility of the Acquiror Shares and the term of any such instrument;

-8-

(iv)

in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Acquiror Shares into a greater number of Acquiror Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Acquiror Shares into a lesser number of Acquiror Shares or any amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Acquiror Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Acquiror Shares; and

(v)

in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Acquiror Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).

(e)

The Corporation agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from Acquiror, the Corporation will use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken such steps as may be necessary for the purposes of ensuring that appropriate dividends are paid or other distributions are made by the Corporation, or subdivisions, redivisions or changes are made to the Exchangeable Shares, in order to implement the required economic equivalent with respect to the Acquiror Shares and Exchangeable Shares as provided for in this Section 2.7.

2.8

TENDER OFFERS

For so long as Exchangeable Shares remain outstanding (not including Exchangeable Shares held by Acquiror and its Affiliates), in the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to Acquiror Shares (an “Offer”) is proposed by Acquiror or is proposed to Acquiror or its shareholders and is recommended by the Board of Directors of Acquiror, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the Board of Directors of Acquiror, and the Exchangeable Shares are not redeemed by the Corporation, Acquiror will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than Acquiror and its Affiliates) to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Acquiror Shares, without discrimination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Acquiror will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares may participate in each such Offer without being required to retract Exchangeable Shares as against the Corporation (or, if so required, to ensure that any such retraction, shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer). Nothing herein shall affect the rights of the Corporation to redeem Exchangeable Shares in the event of an Acquiror Control Transaction.

-9-

2.9

OWNERSHIP OF OUTSTANDING SHARES

Without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, Acquiror covenants and agrees in favour of the Corporation that, as long as any outstanding Exchangeable Shares are owned by any Person other than Acquiror or any of its Affiliates, Acquiror will be and remain the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding voting shares in the capital of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquiror shall not be in violation of this section if any person or group of persons acting jointly or in concert acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Acquiror or the Acquiror Shares pursuant to any merger of Acquiror pursuant to which Acquiror was not the surviving corporation.

2.10

ACQUIROR AND AFFILIATES NOT TO VOTE EXCHANGEABLE SHARES

2.11

RULE 10B-18 PURCHASES

3.4

SUCCESSORSHIP TRANSACTION

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Article 3, in the event of an Acquiror Control Transaction:

(b)	which does not result in an acceleration of the Redemption Date in accordance with paragraph (b) of that definition; and
(c)	in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Acquiror Shares are converted into or exchanged for shares or rights to receive such shares (the “Other Shares”) of another corporation (the “Other Corporation”) that, immediately after such Acquiror Control Transaction, owns or controls, directly or indirectly, Acquiror;

then all references herein to “Acquiror” shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to “Other Corporation” and all references herein to “Acquiror Shares” shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to “Other Shares” (with appropriate adjustments, if any, as are required to result in a holder of Exchangeable Shares on the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or exchange of such shares pursuant to the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement immediately subsequent to the Acquiror Control Transaction being entitled to receive that number of Other Shares equal to the number of Other Shares such holder of Exchangeable Shares would have received if the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or exchange of such shares pursuant to the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement had occurred immediately prior to the Acquiror Control Transaction and the Acquiror Control Transaction was completed) without any need to amend the terms and conditions of the Exchangeable Shares and without any further action required.

In any such event, the Corporation hereby agrees with the Trustee and in favour of the Beneficiary promptly to forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee all relevant materials delivered by the Beneficiary to the Corporation or to the transfer agent of the Exchangeable Shares (including a copy of the retraction request delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions) in connection with such proposed redemption of the Retracted Shares and the Trustee will thereupon exercise the Exchange Right with respect to the Retracted Shares that the Corporation is not permitted to redeem and will require Acquiror to purchase such shares in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5.

The closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for Acquiror Shares shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Time, and each Beneficiary shall be deemed to have transferred to Acquiror all of the Beneficiary’s right, title and interest in and to such Beneficiary’s Exchangeable Shares and the related interest in the Trust Estate. Any right of each such Beneficiary to receive declared and unpaid dividends from the Corporation shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged and each such Beneficiary shall cease to be a holder of such Exchangeable Shares and Acquiror shall deliver to the Beneficiary the Exchangeable Share Consideration deliverable upon the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares. Concurrently with such Beneficiary ceasing to be a holder of Exchangeable Shares, the Beneficiary shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Acquiror Shares issued pursuant to the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for Acquiror Shares and the certificates held by the Beneficiary previously representing the Exchangeable Shares exchanged by the Beneficiary with Acquiror pursuant to such automatic exchange shall thereafter be deemed to represent Acquiror Shares issued to the Beneficiary by Acquiror pursuant to such automatic exchange. Upon the request of a Beneficiary and the surrender by the Beneficiary of Exchangeable Share certificates deemed to represent Acquiror Shares, duly endorsed in blank and accompanied by such instruments of transfer as Acquiror may reasonably require, Acquiror shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Beneficiary certificates representing Acquiror Shares of which the Beneficiary is the holder.

Section 5.13 Withholding Rights

Acquiror, the Corporation and the Trustee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any holder of Exchangeable Shares or Acquiror Shares such amounts as Acquiror, the Corporation or the Trustee is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada), the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or any provision of federal, provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case as amended or succeeded. The Trustee may act on the advice of counsel with respect to such matters. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, Acquiror, the Corporation and the Trustee are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to Acquiror, the Corporation or the Trustee, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and Acquiror, the Corporation or the Trustee shall notify the holder thereof and remit to such holder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

In no case shall Acquiror or the Corporation be liable under this indemnity for any claim against any of the Indemnified Parties unless Acquiror and the Corporation shall be notified by the Trustee of the written assertion of a claim or of any action commenced against the Indemnified Parties, promptly after any of the Indemnified Parties shall have received any such written assertion of a claim or shall have been served with a summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the claim.
