respecting minimum ownership of Common Shares of the Corporation by Eligible
Directors and the ability to elect Deferred Share Units to satisfy any such
policy.

1.5   GOVERNING LAW; SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE REGULATORY RULES

      The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The

policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange and applicable securities legislation.

SECTION 2. DEFERRED SHARE UNITS

2.1   PAYMENT OF DIRECTORS' QUARTERLY REMUNERATION

      Subject to such rules, approvals and conditions as the Committee may
impose, payment of the Director's Quarterly Remuneration payable to each
Eligible Director shall be deferred and each such Eligible Director shall
instead be credited with Deferred Share Units.

      (a)   Payment of Director's Quarterly Remuneration. The Director's
            Quarterly Remuneration shall be credited as Deferred Share Units on
            the last Business Day




                                      - 3 -

            of each fiscal quarter for which Director's Quarterly Remuneration
            is payable, provided however that if the crediting of Deferred Share
            Units on any date would be prohibited by applicable securities laws
            or any policies of the Corporation in respect of trading in
            securities, the Deferred Share Units shall be credited effective the
            first Business Day thereafter on which trading in the Corporation's
            securities is not prohibited.

      (b)   Deferred Share Units. Deferred Share Units granted pursuant to the
            Plan shall be credited to an account maintained for the Eligible
            Director by the Corporation. The number of Deferred Share Units
            (including fractional Deferred Share Units) to be credited on each
            of the dates prescribed by paragraph 2.l(a) shall be determined by
            dividing the amount of the Director's Quarterly Remuneration to be
            deferred into Deferred Share Units on such date by the Fair Market
            Value per Common Share on such date.

      (c)   Dividends on Deferred Share Units. When dividends are paid on Common
            Shares, an Eligible Director shall be credited with dividend
            equivalents in respect of Deferred Share Units credited to the
            Eligible Director's account as of the record date for payment of
            dividends. Such dividend equivalents shall be converted into
            additional Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share
            Units) based on the Fair Market Value per Common Share on the date
            credited.

2.2   MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TREASURY COMMON SHARES

      Notwithstanding any provision herein, the aggregate number of Treasury
Common Shares renewed for issuance under the Plan shall not exceed 125,000
Treasury Common Shares or such greater number of Treasury Common Shares as shall
have been duly approved by the Board and, if required by the rules or policies
of the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange on which the Common
Shares of the Corporation may then be listed, by the shareholders of the
Corporation. No fractional Treasury Common Shares may be issued under the Plan.

2.3   ADJUSTMENTS AND REORGANIZATIONS

      In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, stock consolidation,
combination, reclassification or exchange of shares, including without
limitation, by way of arrangement, amalgamation, merger, spin-off or other
distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of the Corporation's assets to
shareholders, or any other change in the capital of the Corporation affecting
Common Shares, such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its
discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such change, shall be made with
respect to the number of Deferred Share Units then outstanding under the Plan.

2.4   TERMINATION OF SERVICE

      (a)   Termination of Service. An Eligible Director who has retired from
            all positions as a director of the Corporation and any subsidiary of
            the Corporation, or who, except as a result of death, has otherwise
            ceased to hold any such positions with




                                      - 4 -

            the Corporation and any such subsidiaries, may redeem the Deferred
            Share Units credited to the Eligible Director's account by filing
            with the Secretary of the Corporation a notice of redemption of the
            Deferred Share Units in a form acceptable to the Secretary (acting
            reasonably) within 180 days of the date on which the Eligible
            Director retires from or otherwise ceases to hold such positions. If
            the Eligible Director fails to file a notice of redemption of the
            Deferred Share Units within 180 days, the Eligible Director shall be
            deemed to have filed with the Secretary of the Corporation a notice
            of redemption on the last day of such 180-day period. The date on
            which a notice of redemption is filed or deemed to be filed with the
            Secretary of the Corporation is the `Filing Date'. Upon receipt or
            deemed receipt of the Eligible Director's notice of redemption, the
            Corporation shall calculate the aggregate amount payable to the
            Eligible Director (the "Final Payment"), which shall be equal to the
            number of Deferred Share Units credited to the Eligible Director's
            account as of the Filing Date multiplied by the Fair Market Value
            per Common Share as of the Filing Date. Within seven Business Days
            following the Filing Date, the Corporation shall make the Final
            Payment, net of any requisite statutory withholdings, to the
            Eligible Director by means of: (i) cash; or (ii) Treasury Common
            Shares in such number as hereinafter determined; or (iii) a
            combination of cash and Treasury Common Shares; in each instance, as
            will be determined by the Corporation in its sole discretion. The
            number of Treasury Common Shares to be issued, if such payment
            alternative applies, (and for which the Eligible Director shall be
            deemed to have subscribed for) shall be equal to the quotient
            obtained by dividing (I) the Final Payment less any requisite
            statutory withholdings (and if applicable, less the amount of any
            cash payment); by (II) the Fair Market Value per Common Share as of
            the Filing Date. The Corporation shall remit all requisite statutory
            withholdings in respect of the Final Payment in a timely manner.

      (b)   Death of Eligible Director. In the event of the death of an Eligible
            Director, the Corporation shall, within 90 days of the Eligible
            Director's death, make the Final Payment, net of any requisite
            statutory withholdings, to or for the benefit of the legal
            representative or beneficiary of the Eligible Director in cash
            and/or Treasury Common Shares. For purposes of this subsection
            2.4(b), the Final Payment and the method of payment thereof,
            including the number of Treasury Common Shares issuable (if any),
            shall be determined and calculated on the basis set forth in
            subsection 2.4(a) save and except that the Filing Date shall be
            deemed to be the date of death of the Eligible Director. If
            permitted by applicable law, the Eligible Director may appoint a
            beneficiary of his or her rights under the Plan.

      (c)   Shareholder Approval of Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of
            this Plan, no Treasury Common Shares may be issued pursuant to
            subsection 2.4(a) or (b) of the Plan until the Plan has received the
            approval of the shareholders of the Corporation in accordance with
            the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

SECTION 3. GENERAL

3.1   TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

      Rights respecting Deferred Share Units shall not be transferable or
assignable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

3.2   UNFUNDED PLAN

      Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Plan shall be unfunded.
To the extent any individual holds any rights under the Plan, such rights
(unless otherwise determined by the Committee) shall be no greater than the
rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Corporation. A holder of Deferred
Share Units shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation with
respect to any of the Treasury Common Shares which may be issuable pursuant to
the Deferred Share Units so held, whether voting, rights on liquidation or
otherwise.

3.3   SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

      The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Corporation
and an Eligible Director, including without limitation, the estate of such
Eligible Director and the legal representative of such estate, or any receiver
or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Corporation's or Eligible
Director's creditors.

3.4   PLAN AMENDMENT

      Subject to any necessary approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange or any
other stock exchange on which the Common Shares may then be listed, the Board
may from time to time amend the Plan as it deems necessary or appropriate, but
no such amendment shall, without the consent of the Eligible Director or unless
required by law, adversely affect the rights of an Eligible Director with
respect to Deferred Share Units to which the Eligible Director is then entitled
under the Plan.

3.5   PLAN TERMINATION

      The Board may terminate the Plan at any time, but no such termination
shall, without the consent of the Eligible Director or unless required by law,
adversely affect the rights of an Eligible Director with respect to Deferred
Share Units to which the Eligible Director is then entitled under the Plan.

3.6   INSIDER PARTICIPATION

      The maximum number of Common Shares issuable to insiders (as defined in
the Securities Act (Ontario)) under the Plan and/or any other previously
established or proposed share compensation arrangement within a one-year period
shall be 10% of the number of shares issued and outstanding. The maximum number
of Common Shares issuable to any one insider under the Plan and/or any other
previously established or proposed share compensation arrangement within a
one-year period shall be 5% of the number of shares issued and outstanding.




                                      - 6 -

Adopted by the Board of Directors this 10th day of February, 2005, as amended
