ARTICLE 3

ESCROW RELEASE, SATISFACTION OF ISSUANCE RIGHT

OR TERMINATION PAYMENT RIGHT

3.1

Escrow Release Notice

(a)

If the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied (or in respect of the satisfaction or waiver of the escrow release conditions under the Other Investor Subscription Receipt Agreement, are expected to be satisfied substantially concurrently therewith and the Corporation has no reason to believe they will not be satisfied) and the Acquisition Closing Time is scheduled to occur on or prior to 11:59 pm (Montreal time) on the Outside Date, the Corporation shall deliver the Escrow Release Notice to the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Investor.

(b)

Forthwith upon receipt of the Escrow Release Notice, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall release the Escrowed Funds to or at the direction of the Corporation, minus the amount required to make the aggregate payments set forth in Section 3.2(b), which amount shall be set out in the Escrow Release Notice (provided that such amount will continue to be held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and such retained amount shall be retained first from any Earned Interest on the Escrowed Funds and any remaining balance in respect thereof shall be retained from the Escrowed Funds).

(c)

The Escrow Release Notice may be delivered up to one (1) Business Day prior to the scheduled Acquisition Closing Time, provided that if the Escrowed Funds are released pursuant to an Escrow Release Notice and the Acquisition Closing Time does not occur within one (1) Business Day of such release, the Corporation will cause such Escrowed Funds to be returned to the Subscription Receipt Agent as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, and the Escrowed Funds will continue to be held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, pending receipt of another Escrow Release Notice or the occurrence of a Termination Event.

(d)

If the Acquisition Closing Time occurs on or prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Corporation shall forthwith cause the Irrevocable Subscription Receipt Agent and Transfer Agent Direction to be delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent. The Corporation shall promptly issue the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts, and the Corporation shall deliver the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any case, make such delivery within three (3) Business Days following the Acquisition Closing Date.

(e)

Any Escrow Release Notice or Irrevocable Subscription Receipt Agent and Transfer Agent Direction delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be received by the Subscription Receipt Agent no later than 9:00 a.m. (Montréal time) on the day on which the funds are to be released or shares issued. Any Escrow Release Notice or Irrevocable Subscription Receipt Agent and Transfer Agent Direction received by the Subscription Receipt Agent after 9:00 a.m. (Montréal time) or received on a non-Business Day shall be deemed to have been given prior to 9:00 a.m. (Montréal time) on the next Business Day.

(f)

On the Acquisition Closing Date, the Corporation shall issue a press release confirming the Acquisition Closing Date has occurred and setting out the date on which the transfer register for the Subscription Receipts closed, and that the underlying Common Shares have been issued through the facilities of CDS in accordance with Section 3.2.

3.2

Issue of Common Shares and Payment Thereon

(a)

If the Acquisition Closing Time occurs on or prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event and Common Shares are issued in accordance with Section 3.1(d), such Common Shares shall be and shall be deemed to be issued to the Receiptholder in accordance with the right of such holder to receive Common Shares as described in Section 2.2(e)(i) (which right shall be and shall be deemed to be irrevocably exercised on the delivery of the Irrevocable Subscription Receipt Agent and Transfer Agent Direction as provided in Section 3.1(d)) and such Common Shares shall be deemed to be issued at the Acquisition Closing Time, notwithstanding that a certificate or a Book-Entry Only System customer confirmation therefor may not yet have been issued or entered, as the case may be, and the Persons to whom such Common Shares are to be issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have become the holders of record of such Common Shares at the Acquisition Closing Time.

(b)

If the Acquisition Closing Time occurs on or prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event and Common Shares are issued in accordance with Section 3.1(d), a Receiptholder shall be entitled to, from and after the Acquisition Closing Time, but shall receive no earlier than on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the Acquisition Closing Date, an amount in cash in respect of each of such holder’s Subscription Receipts equal to a Dividend Equivalent Payment, if any, less applicable withholding taxes, provided that to the extent that this amount, if any, includes amounts in respect of Common Share Dividends for which any Common Share Dividend Record Date has occurred but which has not yet been paid, such amount shall not be payable to holders, unless the Corporation otherwise elects, until the date such Common Share Dividends are paid to shareholders of the Corporation; and provided further that any applicable portion of a Dividend Equivalent Payment shall be satisfied by the Subscription Receipt Agent no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the Acquisition Closing Date or the date Common Share Dividends are paid to shareholders of the Corporation, as applicable. Such Dividend Equivalent Payments shall first be paid by way of a pro rata share of any Earned Interest, and any remaining balance shall be paid out of the Escrowed Funds as a refund of a portion of the Subscription Price for each Subscription Receipt held.

(c)

Effective immediately after the Common Shares have been issued as contemplated in Sections 3.1(d) and 3.2(a), and any Dividend Equivalent Payment due has been paid to Receiptholders as contemplated in Section 3.2(b), the Subscription Receipts relating thereto shall be void and of no value or effect.

(d)

The obligation to make the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3.2(b) shall be satisfied by mailing or delivering payment therefor by cheque or wire transfer or, in respect of all payments in excess of $25,000,000 (or such other amount as determined from time to time by the Canadian Payments Association or any successor thereto) by the use of the LVTS, to the Receiptholder at its registered address. So long as CDS is the sole registered Receiptholder, all payments of the amounts specified in Section 3.2(b) shall be satisfied by LVTS. If payment is made by cheque, such cheque shall be forwarded to the Receiptholder at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the payment is to be made. If payment is made by wire transfer or LVTS, it shall be made by noon (Montréal time) on the date on which the payment is to be made. The mailing of such cheque or the making of such payment by wire transfer or LVTS shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby, plus the amount of any taxes withheld, satisfy and discharge the obligations of the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Corporation to the amounts specified in Section 3.2(b), unless (i) in the case of payment by cheque, such cheque is not paid at par on presentation and (ii) in the case of payment by wire transfer, such wire transfer is not actually received by the Receiptholder. In either such case and upon receiving confirmatory evidence thereof, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be obligated to immediately rectify such non-payment such that full payment is made to, and received by, the Receiptholders.

(e)

The Subscription Receipt Agent shall be entitled to, or shall direct CDS to, deduct and withhold from any amount payable to Receiptholders pursuant to Section 3.2(b) such amount as the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Corporation or CDS is required or entitled to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any provisions of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended or succeeded and subject to the provisions of any applicable income tax treaty between Canada and the place where the Receiptholder is resident (provided such documentary evidence of entitlement to the benefits of such treaty as the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Corporation or CDS may reasonably request is timely provided). To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Receiptholder, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted in accordance with applicable law to the applicable taxing authority.

(f)

Upon the mailing or delivery of any cheque, wire transfer or LVTS as provided in Section 3.2(d) (and provided such cheque has been honoured for payment, if presented for payment within six (6) months of the date thereof) all rights evidenced by the Subscription Receipts relating thereto shall be satisfied and such Subscription Receipts shall be void and of no value or effect. Any Escrowed Funds, interest or other monies held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant hereto after the cheque, wire transfer or LVTS for the amount specified in Section 3.2(b) has been mailed or delivered, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, and in any event within three Business Days, provided that the Subscription Receipt Agent shall retain sufficient Escrowed Funds to satisfy any cheques so mailed or delivered.

3.3

Payment on Termination

(a)

If a Termination Event occurs, then:

(i)

the Corporation shall forthwith notify the Subscription Receipt Agent thereof and shall issue a press release setting forth the occurrence of the Termination Event;

(ii)

the Receiptholders’ subscription for, and right to receive, pursuant to this Agreement and the Subscription Receipt, a Common Share evidenced by each Subscription Receipt, shall be automatically terminated and cancelled and each Receiptholder shall be entitled to receive only, no later than on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the Termination Event:

(A)

a payment in the amount of $31.25 in respect of each of such holder’s Subscription Receipts; and

(B)

such holder’s pro rata portion of the aggregate of any Earned Interest, less applicable withholding taxes;

(iii)

if the Escrowed Funds in the Subscription Proceeds Account are not sufficient to meet the payment required by Section 3.3(a)(ii), the Subscription Receipt Agent shall only make payments under Section 3.3(a)(ii) to the extent of the monies available in the Subscription Proceeds Account in accordance with Section 3.3(a)(ii) and promptly upon receipt of such additional monies as are provided by the Corporation pursuant to Section 3.5. The Subscription Receipt Agent agrees to cause any amounts payable to the holders of Subscription Receipts pursuant to this Section 3.3 to be paid no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the Termination Date; and

(iv)

Subscription Receipt registers shall be closed at the close of business on the Termination Date.

(b)

The obligation to make the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3.3(a)(ii) shall be satisfied by mailing or delivering payment therefor by cheque or wire transfer or, in respect of all payments in excess of $25,000,000 (or such other amount as determined from time to time by the Canadian Payments Association or any successor thereto) by the use of the LVTS, to the Receiptholder at its registered address. So long as CDS is the sole registered Receiptholder, all payments of the amounts specified in Section 3.3(a)(ii) shall be satisfied by LVTS. If payment is made by cheque, such cheque shall be forwarded to the Receiptholder at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the payment is to be made. If payment is made by wire transfer or LVTS, it shall be made by noon (Montréal time) on the date on which the payment is to be made. The mailing of such cheque or the making of such payment by wire transfer or LVTS shall, to the extent of the sum represented thereby, plus the amount of any taxes withheld, satisfy and discharge the obligations of the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Corporation to pay the amounts specified in Section 3.3(a)(ii), unless (i) in the case of payment by cheque, such cheque is not paid at par on presentation and (ii) in the case of payment by wire transfer, such wire transfer is not actually received by the Receiptholder. In either such case and upon receiving confirmatory evidence thereof, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be obligated to immediately rectify such non-payment such that full payment is made to, and received by, the Receiptholders.

(c)

The Subscription Receipt Agent shall be entitled to, or shall direct CDS to, deduct and withhold from any amount payable to Receiptholders pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) such amount as the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Corporation or CDS is required or entitled to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any provisions of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended or succeeded and subject to the provisions of any applicable income tax treaty between Canada and the place where the Receiptholder is resident (provided such documentary evidence of entitlement to the benefits of such treaty as the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Corporation or CDS may reasonably request is timely provided). To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Receiptholder, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted in accordance with applicable law to the applicable taxing authority.

(d)

Upon the mailing or delivery of any cheque, wire transfer or LVTS as provided in Section 3.3(b) (and provided such cheque has been honoured for payment, if presented for payment within six months of the date thereof) all rights evidenced by the Subscription Receipts relating thereto shall be satisfied and such Subscription Receipts shall be void and of no value or effect. Any Escrowed Funds, interest or other monies held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant hereto after the cheque, wire transfer or LVTS for the amount specified in Section 3.3(a)(ii) has been mailed or delivered, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, provided that the Subscription Receipt Agent shall retain sufficient Escrowed Funds to satisfy any cheques so mailed or delivered.

3.4

Cancellation of Surrendered Subscription Receipt Certificates

All Subscription Receipt Certificates surrendered to the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11, 2.13 and 6.1 shall be returned to or received by the Subscription Receipt Agent for cancellation and, if required by the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall furnish the Corporation with a cancellation certificate identifying the Subscription Receipt Certificates so cancelled and the number of Subscription Receipts evidenced thereby.

3.5

Additional Payments by the Corporation

The Corporation shall, no later than one (1) Business Day before the date on which a payment is required to be made pursuant to Section 3.3, pay to the Subscription Receipt Agent, as agent and bailee

on behalf of the Receiptholders, such amount, if any, as will be sufficient, when combined with the portion of the Escrowed Funds available for such payment, to allow the Subscription Receipt Agent to pay in full the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.3.

3.6

Claim against the Corporation

(a)

Pursuant to this Agreement, Receiptholders have a claim against the Corporation to be issued one Common Share (subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 5.1 of this Agreement) for each Subscription Receipt held plus any Dividend Equivalent Payment, less applicable withholding taxes if the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied and the Acquisition Closing Time occurs prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event (the Issuance Right) or, if the Termination Date occurs, to be reimbursed an amount equal to the Subscription Price for each Subscription Receipt held by the Receiptholder plus an amount equal to the Earned Interest thereon less applicable withholding taxes (the Refund Right).

(b)

Until the Issuance Right or the Refund Right arises, Receiptholders will not be entitled to assert a claim against the Corporation pursuant to Section 3.6(a) unless, prior to the date on which the Issuance Right or the Refund Right, as the case may be, has been satisfied:

(i)

the Corporation makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or any proceeding is instituted by the Corporation seeking relief on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent or seeking liquidation, winding-up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or seeking appointment of a receiver, receiver and manager, trustee, custodian or similar official for it or any substantial part of its property and assets or the Corporation takes any action to authorize any of the actions set forth above; or

(ii)

the Corporation shall be declared bankrupt, or a receiver, receiver and manager, trustee, custodian or similar official shall be appointed for the Corporation or any substantial part of the property or assets of the Corporation or distress or execution of any similar process is levied or enforced on such property or assets and remains unsatisfied for such period as would permit such property or such part thereof to be sold thereunder, in which events the Refund Right shall be deemed to have occurred and the Receiptholders shall be entitled to payment of the amounts payable according to Section 3.3.

ARTICLE 4

INVESTMENT OF PROCEEDS AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST

4.1

Investment of Proceeds

(a)

Until released in accordance with this Agreement, the Escrowed Funds shall be kept segregated in the records of the Subscription Receipt Agent and shall be invested in interest-bearing or discount debt obligations denominated in Canadian dollars issued or guaranteed by the Government of Canada or a province of Canada or a Canadian chartered bank provided that such obligation is rated at least R1 (middle), in respect of short-term obligations, or A, in respect of long-term obligations, by DBRS Inc. or a similar rating service or such other investments that the Subscription Receipt Agent is able to effect, and as directed jointly in writing by the Corporation and the Investor. Such written direction to the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be provided no later than 10:00 a.m. (Montréal time) on the day on which the investment is to be made. Any written direction received by the Subscription Receipt Agent after 10:00 a.m. or on a day which is not a Business Day, shall be deemed to have been given prior to 10:00 a.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. The Corporation and the Investor hereby jointly direct the

Subscription Receipt Agent that when not so invested, any cash balances constituting part or all of the Escrowed Funds shall be kept segregated in the records of the Subscription Receipt Agent and shall be deposited in one or more non-interest bearing trust accounts to be maintained by the Subscription Receipt Agent in the name of the Subscription Receipt Agent at the Bank of Nova Scotia (the Bank), provided that such bank maintains an issuer credit rating from Standard & Poor’s of at least “A” (an Approved Rating). The Subscription Receipt Agent shall withdraw, as soon as reasonably practicable, any cash balances constituting part or all of the Escrowed Funds that may then be deposited with the Bank if the Subscription Receipt Agent has received notice from the Corporation that the Bank fails to so qualify at any time, and re-deposit such amount with one or more other Canadian Schedule I banks that have an Approved Rating at such time.

(b)

All Earned Interest received from the investment of the Escrowed Funds shall be credited to, and shall become a part of, the Escrowed Funds (and any bank charges and similar fees as well as losses, if any, on such investments shall be debited to the Escrowed Funds).

(c)

All Escrowed Funds held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by the Subscription Receipt Agent solely as agent and bailee on behalf of the Receiptholders, and for certainty shall not form part of the property, estate, assets, undertaking or effects of the Subscription Receipt Agent. The delivery of the Escrowed Funds to the Subscription Receipt Agent shall not give rise to a debtor-creditor or other similar relationship between the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Receiptholders.

(d)

The Escrowed Funds held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to this Agreement are the sole risk of the Receiptholders, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any diminution of the Escrowed Funds which may result from any investments (including any deposits) made pursuant to this Section 4.1, and any credit or other losses on any investments liquidated or sold prior to maturity. Each of the Corporation and the Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Subscription Receipt Agent acts prudently in depositing the Escrowed Funds at the Bank, and that the Subscription Receipt Agent is not required to make any further inquiries in respect of any such bank.

(e)

The Corporation, the Investor and the Subscription Receipt Agent acknowledge and agree that for all income tax purposes the Investor shall be regarded as the owner of the Escrowed Funds at all times prior to the Acquisition Closing Date or the Termination Date, as applicable. The Corporation and the Investor agree to provide the Subscription Receipt Agent with their certified tax identification number and others forms, documents and information that the Subscription Receipt Agent may request in order to fulfill any tax reporting function. The Subscription Receipt Agent shall cause all information returns, slips and all other tax filings required to be prepared in respect to the Earned Interest as prescribed by applicable law.

4.2

Segregation of Proceeds

The Escrowed Funds received by the Subscription Receipt Agent and any other securities or other investments received by the Subscription Receipt Agent on the investment or reinvestment of such Escrowed Funds, shall be received by the Subscription Receipt Agent solely as agent and bailee on behalf of the Receiptholders, and shall be segregated and kept apart by the Subscription Receipt Agent from any assets of the Subscription Receipt Agent or held by the Subscription Receipt Agent for Persons who are not Parties.

4.3

Third Party Interest

The Corporation hereby represents to the Subscription Receipt Agent that, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any account to be opened by, or interest to be held by, the Subscription Receipt

Agent, in connection with this Agreement, for or to the credit of the Corporation, is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any third party.

ARTICLE 5

ADJUSTMENTS

5.1

Adjustments

The rights attached to Subscription Receipts may be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows, subject to all applicable regulatory and stock exchange approvals:

(a)

Common Share Reorganization. If, at any time after the date hereof and before the Acquisition Closing Date, the Corporation subdivides, redivides or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares or reduces, combines or consolidates its outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares, or issues Common Shares to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares by way of a stock distribution, stock dividend or otherwise (any of such events being called a Common Share Reorganization), then the number of underlying Common Shares with respect to each Subscription Receipt shall be adjusted as of the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization by multiplying the number of underlying Common Shares theretofore obtainable immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization.

(b)

Capital Reorganization. If, at any time after the date hereof and before the Acquisition Closing Date, there is a reclassification of Common Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another entity, or if a record date for any of the foregoing events occurs, (any of such events being herein called a Capital Reorganization), any Receiptholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive Common Shares pursuant to Subscription Receipts then held after the record date or effective date of such Capital Reorganization will be entitled to receive, and will accept for the same aggregate consideration, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Receiptholder was otherwise entitled, the aggregate number of shares, units, warrants, other securities or other property which such Receiptholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, the Receiptholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such Receiptholder was theretofore entitled with respect to the Subscription Receipts. If determined appropriate by the Corporation, acting reasonably, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Receiptholders to the extent that the provisions set forth in this Article 5 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be reasonable in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable pursuant to the terms of any Subscription Receipt. Any such adjustments will be made by and set forth in terms and conditions supplemental hereto approved by the Corporation, acting reasonably, and,

absent manifest error, will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be the appropriate adjustment.

(c)

Special Distributions. If at any time after the date hereof and before the Acquisition Closing Date, the Corporation issues or distributes to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares, securities of the Corporation, including rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or property or assets, including evidences of indebtedness, and other than as a result of a Common Share Reorganization or a Capital Reorganization, or a record date for any of the foregoing events occurs, there will be an appropriate adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to Subscription Receipts or, at the option of the Corporation, such securities, property or assets may be issued to the Subscription Receipt Agent and delivered to the Receiptholders and, for the same aggregate consideration payable, if any, in addition to the number of Common Shares to which such Receiptholder was theretofore entitled, the Receiptholder will be entitled to receive such securities, property or assets as if on the record date at which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose thereof, such Receiptholder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which the Receiptholder was then entitled.

(d)

The adjustments provided for in this Section 5.1 are cumulative and shall apply (without duplication) to successive subdivisions, consolidations, changes, distributions, issues or other events resulting in adjustment under the provisions of this Section 5.1.

(e)

If the Corporation, after the date hereof, takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than the actions described in this Section 5.1, which, in the reasonable opinion of the directors of the Corporation, would materially affect the rights of the Receiptholders or the rights attached to the Subscription Receipts, then the number of Common Shares which are to be received pursuant to the Subscription Receipts shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time as the directors of the Corporation may, in their discretion but subject, for greater certainty, to the prior approval of the TSX and the NYSE, reasonably determine to be equitable to the Receiptholders in such circumstances, taking into account, amongst other things, the position of such Receiptholders if they had been the registered holders of the Common Shares to which they were theretofore entitled.

5.2

No Adjustment

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Agreement in the rights attached to the Subscription Receipts upon the issue of Common Shares pursuant to any share option plan, share purchase plan, dividend reinvestment plan, restricted share unit plan, performance share unit plan or other incentive plan in force from time to time for officers, directors, employees, consultants or shareholders of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, in connection with the Acquisition and the financing thereof (including, for greater certainty, in respect of any subscription receipts or Common Shares issued to the Other Investor), or pursuant to any agreement (including any loan agreement), share option, warrant or other right (including anti-dilution or preemptive rights) to receive or purchase Common Shares granted by the Corporation prior to the date of this Agreement and no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Agreement in the rights attached to the Subscription Receipts further to purchases of Common Shares by the Corporation under a normal course issuer bid.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, no adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts shall be required unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 0.01% of the number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts, provided, however, that any adjustments that, except for the provisions of this Section 5.2(b) would otherwise have

been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(c)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 5, no adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts shall be made in respect of any events described in Article 5 if the holders of the Subscription Receipts are entitled to participate in the events on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if the Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of their Subscription Receipts had been automatically issued immediately prior to the effective date or record date of the events. For greater certainty, any such participation by Receiptholders in situations described in this Section 5.2(c) shall be subject to the approval of the TSX and the NYSE.

(d)

If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any distribution or any subscription or purchase rights in accordance with Article 5 and shall, thereafter, legally abandon its plans to pay or deliver the distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the number of Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts shall be required by reason of the setting of the record date.

8.3

Chairman

An individual (who need not be a Receiptholder) designated in writing by the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be chairman of the meeting and if no individual is so designated, or if the individual so designated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, the Receiptholders present in person or by proxy shall choose some individual present to be chairman.

8.4

Quorum

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.11(a), at any meeting of the Receiptholders a quorum shall consist of not less than two Receiptholders, present in person or by proxy and holding more than 25% of the then outstanding Subscription Receipts, provided that if the Subscription Receipts are issued in the form of Global Subscription Receipts such that there is only one Receiptholder, quorum shall consist of not less than two Beneficial Holders present in person or by proxy and beneficially holding more than 25% of the then outstanding Subscription Receipts. If a quorum of the Receiptholders shall not be present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the Receiptholders or on a Receiptholders’ Request, shall be dissolved; but in any other case the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case it shall be adjourned to the next following Business Day) at the same time and place and no notice of the adjournment need be given.

8.5

Power to Adjourn

The chairman of any meeting at which a quorum of the Receiptholders is present may, with the consent of Receiptholders present in person or by proxy at the meeting, adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe.

8.6

Show of Hands

Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands except that votes on an Extraordinary Resolution shall be given in the manner hereinafter provided. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein provided, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact.

8.7

Poll and Voting

(a)

On every Extraordinary Resolution, and on any other question submitted to a meeting and after a vote by show of hands when demanded by the chairman or by one or more of the Receiptholders acting in person or by proxy and holding at least 5% of the then outstanding Subscription Receipts, a poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman shall direct. Questions other than those required to be determined by Extraordinary Resolution shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the poll.

(b)

On a show of hands, every Person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a Receiptholder or as proxy for one or more absent Receiptholders, or both, shall have one vote. On a poll, each Receiptholder present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed by instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Common Share he is entitled to receive pursuant to the Subscription Receipt(s) then held or represented by him. A proxy need not be a Receiptholder. In the case of joint holders, any

of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others; but in case more than one of them shall be present in person or by proxy, they shall vote together in respect of Subscription Receipts of which they are joint registered holders. The chairman of any meeting shall be entitled, both on a show of hands and on a poll, to vote in respect of the Subscription Receipts, if any, held or represented by him.

8.8

the setting of the record date for a meeting of Receiptholders for the purpose of determining Receiptholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at such meeting;

(b)

the issue of voting certificates by any bank, trust company or other depositary satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent stating that the Subscription Receipt Certificates specified therein have been deposited with it by a named Person and will remain on deposit until after the meeting, which voting certificate shall entitle the Persons named therein to be present and vote at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof or to appoint a proxy or proxies to represent them and vote for them at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof in the same manner and with the same effect as though the Persons so named in such voting certificates were the actual holders of the Subscription Receipt Certificates specified therein;

(c)

the deposit of voting certificates and instruments appointing proxies at such place and time as the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Corporation or the Receiptholders, convening the meeting, as the case may be, may in the notice convening the meeting direct;

(d)

the deposit of voting certificates and instruments appointing proxies at some approved place or places other than the place at which the meeting is to be held and enabling particulars of such instruments appointing proxies to be mailed, telecopied or electronically delivered before the meeting to the Corporation or to the Subscription Receipt Agent at the place where the same is to be held and for the voting of proxies so deposited as though the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting;

(e)

the form of the instrument of proxy; and

(f)

generally for the calling of meetings of Receiptholders and the conduct of business thereat.

Any regulations so made shall be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith shall be valid and shall be counted. Save as such regulations may provide, the only Persons who shall be recognized at any meeting as a Receiptholder, or be entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof (subject to Section 8.9), shall be Receiptholders or their counsel, or proxies of Receiptholders.

(c)

Whenever it is provided in this Agreement that the Corporation shall deposit with the Subscription Receipt Agent resolutions, certificates, reports, opinions, requests, orders or other documents, it is intended that the trust, accuracy and good faith on the effective date thereof and the facts and opinions stated in all such documents so deposited shall, in each and every such case, be conditions precedent to the right of the Corporation to have the Subscription Receipt Agent take the action to be based thereon.

(d)

Proof of the execution of an instrument in writing, including a Receiptholders’ Request, by any Receiptholder may be made by the certificate of a notary public, or other officer with similar powers, that the Person signing such instrument acknowledged to the officer the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution or in any other manner which the Subscription Receipt Agent may consider adequate.

(e)

The Subscription Receipt Agent may employ or retain such counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisers as it may reasonably require for the purpose of discharging its duties hereunder and may pay reasonable remuneration for all services so performed by any of them, without taxation of costs of any counsel, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such experts or advisers who have been appointed with due care by the Subscription Receipt Agent.

nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation on the Subscription Receipt Agent to see to or to require evidence of the registration or filing (or renewal thereof) of this Agreement or any instrument ancillary or supplemental hereto;

(c)

the Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be bound to give notice to any Person of the execution hereof; and

10.7

Replacement of Subscription Receipt Agent; Successor by Merger

(a)

The Subscription Receipt Agent may resign its appointment and be discharged from all other duties and liabilities hereunder, subject to this Section 10.7, by giving to the Corporation not less than 60 days prior notice in writing or such shorter prior notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. The Receiptholders by Extraordinary Resolution shall have power at any time to remove the existing Subscription Receipt Agent and to appoint a new Subscription Receipt Agent. The Corporation and the Investor together may remove the existing Subscription Receipt Agent in the event that there are any changes, events or occurrences in respect of the Subscription Receipt Agent after the date hereof which the Corporation determines, acting reasonably, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the creditworthiness of the Subscription Receipt Agent or on the ability of the Subscription Receipt Agent to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. In the event of the Subscription Receipt Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Investor shall forthwith appoint a new subscription receipt agent unless a new subscription receipt agent has already been appointed by the Receiptholders; failing such appointment by the Investor, the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent or any Receiptholder may apply to a justice of the Superior Court of Québec on such notice as such justice may direct, for the appointment of a new subscription receipt agent; but any new subscription receipt agent so appointed by the

Investor or by the Superior Court of Québec shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Receiptholders. Any new subscription receipt agent appointed under any provision of this Section 10.7 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Québec and, if required by the applicable legislation for any other provinces, in such other provinces. On any such appointment, the new subscription receipt agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder. At the request of the Corporation or the new Subscription Receipt Agent, the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent, upon payment of the amounts, if any, due to it pursuant to Section 6.3, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the new Subscription Receipt Agent all property and money held and all records kept by the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder or in connection herewith.

(b)

Upon the appointment of a successor subscription receipt agent, the Corporation shall promptly notify the Receiptholders thereof in the manner provided for in Article 11.

(c)

Any corporation into or with which the Subscription Receipt Agent may be merged or consolidated or amalgamated, or any corporation resulting therefrom to which the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be the successor to the Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder without any further act on its part or any of the Parties, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor subscription receipt agent under Section 10.7(a).

(d)

Any Subscription Receipt Certificates Authenticated but not delivered by a predecessor subscription receipt agent may be delivered by the successor subscription receipt agent in the name of the predecessor or successor subscription receipt agent.

10.8

Conflict of Interest

(a)

The Subscription Receipt Agent represents to the Corporation and the Investor that, to the best of its knowledge, at the time of execution and delivery hereof no material conflict of interest exists between its role as subscription receipt agent hereunder and its role in any other capacity and agrees that in the event of a material conflict of interest arising hereafter it will, within 30 days after ascertaining that it has such a material conflict of interest, either eliminate the same or assign its appointment as subscription receipt agent hereunder to a successor subscription receipt agent approved by the Corporation and meeting the requirements set forth in Section 10.7(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.8(a), if any such material conflict of interest exists or hereafter shall exist, the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and the Subscription Receipt Certificates shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason thereof.

(b)
