Such delivery shall also constitute the consent of the Corporation to the use of the Canadian Amended Preliminary Prospectus and the Canadian Final Prospectus, as amended, by the Underwriters in connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares in the Provinces and Territories and elsewhere outside the United States and to the use of the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Amended Preliminary Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus, as amended, by the Underwriters in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Shares in the United States.

6.4     During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the completion of the distribution of the Offered Shares, the Corporation will promptly inform the Underwriters of the full particulars of:

7.3     Except as contemplated by this Agreement, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date which is 90 days from the Closing Date contemplated hereunder (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Corporation will not, without the prior written consent of the Co-Lead Underwriters, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or issue for sale or resale, as the case may be, or publicly announce the issue or sale or intended issue or sale of, any Common Shares, or financial instruments or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, or publicly announce its intention to do so or file a prospectus or registration statement with a Securities Commission or the SEC in respect thereof, except pursuant to the Corporation’s: (i) management stock option incentive plan, (ii) directors’ stock option plan, and (iii) shareholder rights plan; provided, however, that if (1) during the last 17 days of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Corporation releases earnings results or publicly announces material news or a material event or (2) prior to the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Corporation publicly announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be automatically extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the announcement of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Co-Lead Underwriters waive, in writing, such extension; the Corporation will provide the Co-Lead Underwriters with prior notice of any such announcement that gives rise to an extension of the Lock-Up Period.

7.4     Unless the Corporation and the Co-Lead Underwriters otherwise agree in writing, neither the Corporation nor any Underwriter has made and none of them will make any offer relating to the Offered Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act); provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, included in Annex C hereto and in respect of any electronic roadshow furnished to the Co-Lead Underwriters prior to first use and not objected to by the Co-Lead Underwriters. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Co-Lead Underwriters or the Corporation is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Corporation agrees that (i) it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (ii) it will comply with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the U.S. Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the SEC, legending and record keeping.

Article 11

The Underwriters may waive in whole or in part or extend the time for compliance with any of such terms and conditions without prejudice to their rights in respect of any other of such terms and conditions or any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance, provided that to be binding on the Underwriters any such waiver or extension must be in writing.

Article 12
Indemnification and Contribution

12.1     The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Underwriters and the Underwriters’ directors, officers, shareholders, affiliates involved in the distribution of the Offered Shares, agents and employees and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the U.S. Securities Act or Section 20 of the U.S. Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and individually, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all liabilities, claims, demands, losses (other than loss of profit in connection with the distribution of the Offered Shares), costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such liability, claim, demand, or loss) in any way caused by or arising directly or indirectly from or in consequence of:

(a) any information or statement (except any information and statements relating solely to the Underwriters which has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein) in the Canadian Prospectuses, the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectuses or in any other document incorporated therein by reference being or being alleged to be a misrepresentation or untrue, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein any fact or information (except facts or information relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them that has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein) required to be stated therein or necessary to make any of the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made;

- 33 -

(b)	any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the U.S. Prospectuses, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact (except facts or information relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them that has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein) required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(c)	any order made or any inquiry, investigation or proceeding commenced or threatened by any securities, regulatory or other competent authority based upon any untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation or alleged untrue statement, omission or misrepresentation (except a statement, omission or misrepresentation relating solely to the Underwriters or any of them that has been provided in writing to the Corporation by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Co-Lead Underwriters specifically for inclusion therein) in the Public Record, preventing or restricting the trading in or the distribution of the Offered Shares or any of them in any of the Provinces and Territories or in the United States;
(d)	the Corporation not complying with any requirement of applicable Securities Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated herein; and
(e)	any breach of, default under or non-compliance by the Corporation with any representation, warranty, term or condition of this Agreement.

12.2     In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in section 12.1 hereof is unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason to an Indemnified Party in respect of any liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses referred to therein, the Corporation shall contribute to the amount paid or payable (or, if such indemnity is unavailable only in respect of a portion of the amount so paid or payable, such portion of the amount so paid or payable) by such Indemnified Party as a result of such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses:

(a)

in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the distribution of the Offered Shares; or

(b)

if the allocation provided by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the matters or things referred to in section 12.1 hereof which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;

- 34 -

provided that the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the Underwriting Fee or any portion thereof actually received. The relative benefits received by the Corporation on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same ratio as the total net proceeds from the distribution of the Offered Shares received by the Corporation is to the Underwriting Fee received by the Underwriters. The relative fault of the Corporation on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the matters or things referred to in section 12.1 hereof which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages and expenses relate to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Corporation (including indirectly as aforesaid) or to information supplied by or steps or actions taken or done or not taken or done by or on behalf of the Underwriters and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement, omission or misrepresentation, or other matter or thing referred to in section 12.1 hereof. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this section 12.2 were determined by any method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this section 12.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section 12.2, no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

12.3     If any matter or thing contemplated by this Article 12 shall be asserted against any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party concerned shall promptly notify the Corporation and the Underwriters of the nature of such claim (provided that any failure to so notify the Corporation promptly shall relieve the Corporation of liability under this Article 12 only to the extent that such failure prejudices the Corporation’s ability to defend such claim), and the Corporation shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) brought to enforce such claim. Any such defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnified Party (whose acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) and no admission of liability or settlement shall be made by the Corporation or any Indemnified Party in respect of any Indemnified Party without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Corporation fails to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time; or (ii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the Corporation; or (iii) the named parties to any such suit or proceeding include the Indemnified Party as well as the Corporation and the Indemnified Party shall have received a written opinion from counsel that there may be one or more legal defences available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or in addition to those available to the Corporation and that representation of the Indemnified Party by counsel to the Corporation is inadvisable as a result of the potential or actual conflicts of interest of those represented (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Corporation in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Corporation, the Corporation shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit or

- 35 -

proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Party and shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Party), it being understood, however, that the Corporation shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm for all such Indemnified Parties (other than local counsel). It is the intention of the Corporation to constitute each of the Underwriters as trustees, for the Underwriters’ directors, officers, shareholders, affiliates involved in the distribution of the Offered Shares, agents and employees, and each person who controls any Underwriter of the covenants of the Corporation under sections 12.1 and 12.2 hereof with respect to the Underwriters’ directors, officers, shareholders, affiliates involved in the distribution of the Offered Shares, agents and employees, and each person who controls any Underwriter, and the Underwriters agree to accept such trust and to hold and enforce such covenants on behalf of such persons.

12.4     The Corporation agrees that in case any legal proceedings or investigation shall be brought against or initiated against the Corporation by any governmental commission, regulatory authority, exchange, court or other authority and an Indemnified Person or other representative of any of the Underwriters shall be required to testify or respond to procedures designed to discover information regarding, in connection with or relating to the performance of professional services rendered to the Corporation by one or more of the Underwriters in connection with the sale of the Offered Shares, the Corporation agrees to pay the Underwriter the reasonable costs (including an amount to reimburse the Underwriter for the time spent by the personnel in connection therewith on a per diem basis and out-of-pocket expenses) in connection therewith.

12.5     The rights provided in this Article 12 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any other right which the Underwriters may have by statute or otherwise at law.

Article 13
Expenses

13.1     If the transactions herein contemplated are completed, all expenses of or incidental to the issue and offering of the Offered Shares shall be borne by the Corporation, including, without limitation, expenses payable in connection with the qualification of the Offered Shares for distribution in the Provinces and Territories and in the United States; the preparation, printing, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Offered Shares, including any stamp or transfer taxes in connection with the original issuance and sale of the Offered Shares; if applicable, any registration or qualification of the Offered Shares for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the several states (including filing fees relating to such registration and qualification); any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (including filing fees and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters relating to such filings); the travel, transportation and other expenses in connection with presentations to prospective purchasers of the Offered Shares; all other costs and expenses of the Corporation and its representatives incident to the performance by the Corporation of its obligations hereunder; the fees and expenses of counsel and auditors for the Corporation; listing fees; and all costs incurred in connection with the preparation, translation, printing, filing and delivery of the Canadian Prospectuses, the Registration Statement, the U.S. Prospectuses and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, excepting Underwriters’ out-of-pocket expenses and the fees and

- 36 -

expenses of counsel for the Underwriters. The Underwriters’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters shall be paid by the Underwriters except that the Underwriters will be reimbursed by the Corporation for all of the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Underwriters (including the reasonable fees and expenses of their counsel) if the sale of the Offered Shares as contemplated herein is not completed other than by reason of default by any of the Underwriters.

Article 14
Several Obligations

14.1     The Underwriters’ obligations to purchase the Firm Shares at the Closing Time shall be several and not joint and the Underwriters’ respective obligations in this respect shall be in the following percentages of the Firm Shares to be purchased at that time:

Scotia Capital Inc.	23.0	%
RBC Dominion Securities Inc.	23.0	%
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated	19.0	%
CIBC World Markets Inc.	10.0	%
TD Securities Inc.	10.0	%
BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc.	5.0	%
Merrill Lynch Canada Inc.	5.0	%
National Bank Financial Inc.	5.0	%
	100	%

Subject to section 14.2, no Underwriter shall be obligated to take up and pay for any of the Firm Shares to be purchased by it unless the other Underwriters simultaneously take up and pay for the percentage of Firm Shares set out opposite their name above.

14.2     If any one or more of the Underwriters fails to purchase its or their applicable percentage of the Firm Shares at the Closing Time, and if the aggregate number of Firm Shares not purchased is:

(a)

less than or equal to 5% of the Firm Shares agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, then each of the other Underwriters shall be obligated to purchase severally the Firm Shares not taken up, on a pro rata basis or as they may otherwise agree as between themselves; and

(b)

greater than 5% of the Firm Shares agreed to be purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement, then the remaining Underwriters shall not be obligated to purchase such Firm Shares, however, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right, exercisable at their option, to purchase on a pro rata basis (or on such other basis as may be agreed to by the remaining Underwriters) all, but not less than all, of the Firm Shares which would otherwise have been purchased by the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters;

- 37 -

and the remaining Underwriters shall also have the right, by notice in writing to the Corporation, to postpone the Closing Time for a period not exceeding two business days.

14.3     In the event that the right to purchase under section 14.2(b) above is not exercised, the Underwriter or Underwriters which are able and willing to purchase shall be relieved of all obligations to the Corporation on submission to the Corporation of reasonable evidence of its or their ability and willingness to fulfil its or their obligations hereunder at the Closing Time.

14.4     Nothing in this Article 14 shall obligate the Corporation to sell to any or all of the Underwriters less than all of the Firm Shares or shall relieve any of the Underwriters in default hereunder from liability to the Corporation or to any non-defaulting Underwriter in respect of its default hereunder. In the event of a termination by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement, there shall be no further liability on the part of the Corporation to the Underwriters except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may thereafter arise under Article 12 or Article 13 hereof.

Article 15
Co-Lead Underwriters

15.1     All steps which must or may be taken by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement but with the exception of the steps contemplated by Article 10, Article 12, and Article 14 hereof may be taken by the Co-Lead Underwriters on the Underwriters’ behalf, and this Agreement is the Corporation’s authority for dealing solely with, and accepting notification from, the Co-Lead Underwriters with respect to any such steps on their behalf. Other than as set forth in this section 15.1, no action by any Underwriter shall be binding on any other Underwriter.

Article 16

ANNEX B

Opinion of Paul, Weiss Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP

1. Each subsidiary listed on Schedule A hereto (individually a “U.S. Subsidiary” and collectively the “U.S. Subsidiaries”) is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The U.S. Subsidiaries have all necessary corporate power and authority to own and hold their respective properties and conduct their respective businesses as described in the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus;

2. The Registration Statement and the U.S. Final Prospectus, as of their respective effective or issue dates, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC under the U.S. Securities Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from either of them, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion; the Form F-X, as of its date, appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority, which has not been obtained, taken or made (other than as required by any state securities laws, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion) is required under any Applicable Law for the issuance or sale of the Purchased Shares or the performance by the Corporation of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement. For purposes of this opinion, the term “Governmental Authority” means any executive, legislative, judicial, administrative or regulatory body of the State of New York or the United States of America. For purposes of this opinion, the term “Applicable Law” means those laws, rules and regulations of the United States of America and the State of New York, in each case which in our experience are normally applicable to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement.

4. The Underwriting Agreement (to the extent execution and delivery are governed by the laws of New York) has been duly executed and delivered by the Corporation.

5. The Corporation is not and, after giving effect to the offering and the sale of the Purchased Securities and the application of their proceeds as described in the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds,” will not be required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

6. The statements in the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus under the caption “Income Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” to the extent that they constitute summaries of United States federal law or regulations or legal conclusions, have been reviewed by such counsel and fairly summarize the matters described under that heading in all material respects.

- 2 -

7. Under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, the Corporation has, pursuant to section 16.2 of this Agreement, validly and irrevocably submitted to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the State of New York, in any action arising out of or relating to the Underwriting Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, has validly and irrevocably waived any objection to the venue of a proceeding in any such court, and has validly and irrevocably appointed the Agent for Service as its authorized agent for the purpose described in section 16.2 hereof; and service of process effected on such agent in the manner set forth in section 16.2 hereof will be effective to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Corporation. This opinion may be subject to the qualification that such counsel expresses an opinion as to enforceability of foreign selection clauses in the federal courts.

8. The issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities by the Corporation, the compliance by the Corporation with all of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement and the performance by the Corporation of its obligations thereunder will not (i) result in a violation of the charter or by-laws of the U.S. Subsidiaries, (ii) breach or result in a default under any agreement, indenture or instrument listed on Schedule B hereto, or (iii) violate Applicable Law or any judgment, order or decree of any court or arbitrator in the United States known to such counsel, except where, in the case of (ii) and (iii) above, the breach would not have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may include customary assumptions and qualifications and may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York or the Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for the Underwriters and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Corporation and public officials and on the representations and warranties of the Corporation made in the Underwriting Agreement. References to the U.S. Final Prospectus in this paragraph (b) include any supplements thereto at the Closing Date.

Such counsel will state in a separate letter that they have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus (excluding the documents incorporated by reference therein) and in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Corporation, representatives of the independent chartered accountants for the Corporation, the Underwriters and representatives of the Underwriters at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the U.S. Final Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although such counsel has not undertaken to investigate or verify independently, and does not assume responsibility for, the accuracy or completeness of the statements contained in any of them (other than as explicitly stated in paragraph (vi) above), based upon such participation (and relying as to factual matters to the extent such counsel deems reasonable on officers, employees and other representatives of the Corporation), no facts have come to our attention to lead us to believe that (a) the Registration Statement (except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from those documents, as to which such counsel

- 3 -

expresses no such belief), at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) at the time the U.S. Final Prospectus was issued, at the time any amended or supplemented prospectus was issued or at the Closing Time, the U.S. Final Prospectus or any other amendment or supplement thereto (except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from those documents, as to which such counsel expresses no such belief) included or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (c) as of the Initial Sale Time, the Disclosure Package (except for the financial statements, financial statement schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from those documents, as to which such counsel expresses no such belief) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
