(e) At least one Altria Nominee shall be Independent as long as (i) the Holder has the right to designate at least three Altria Nominees pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) and (ii) the Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares does not exceed fifty percent.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to contrary set forth in this Agreement, during the duration of this Agreement, the Chief Executive Officer shall be a member of the Company Board unless the Company Board (other than the Chief Executive Officer) unanimously determines otherwise.

(i) In the event that any Altria Nominee ceases to serve as a director of the Company for any reason, including the death, disability, resignation, removal or failure of an Altria Nominee to be elected at a meeting of the Company Shareholders, or upon any other vacancy with respect to an Altria Nominee, the Company shall cause the Company Board to appoint as soon as practicable a replacement Altria Nominee in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Law to fill the vacancy caused thereby; provided, that the Holder remains eligible to nominate such Altria Nominee pursuant to Section 2.1(b) or Section 2.1(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.1(a), if the Company is prevented by applicable

ARTICLE 3

PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHT OF ALTRIA

Section 3.1 Pre-emptive Rights.

(a) Until the Trigger Time, the Company hereby grants to Altria the right to purchase, directly or indirectly by another member of the Altria Group, from time to time upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event, up to such number of Common Shares issuable in connection with the Triggering Event (the “Pre-emptive Right Securities”) which will, when added to the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Altria Group immediately prior to the Triggering Event, result in the Altria Group beneficially owning the Original Percentage of issued and outstanding Common Shares immediately after giving effect to the issue of all Common Shares to be issued in connection with the Triggering Event.

- 18 -

(b) In respect of each exercise of the Pre-emptive Right, the purchase price per Pre-emptive Right Security shall be equal to the Triggering Event Price; provided, however, in respect of each exercise of the Pre-emptive Right in connection with the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to the Ginkgo Agreement, the purchase price per Pre-emptive Right Security shall be equal to $16.25 per Common Share, without any setoff, counterclaim, deduction or withholding.

(c) Until the Trigger Time, the Company shall provide to Altria written notice (a “Triggering Event Notice”) as soon as practicable (i) following a determination by the Company to effect a Triggering Event, other than a Triggering Event that arises as a result of the exercise of a Special Option, and (ii) following the exercise of a Special Option. Each Triggering Event Notice shall include the number of Pre-emptive Right Securities which Altria shall be entitled to purchase as a result of the applicable Triggering Event, a calculation demonstrating how such number was determined, the Triggering Event Price (if known at the time of the Triggering Event Notice and otherwise a good faith estimate of the range of the anticipated Triggering Event Price, which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount) and the anticipated Triggering Event Closing Date. The Company shall also give Altria notice as promptly as practicable following the grant of a Special Option.

(d) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Pre-emptive Right shall, in each instance, be exercisable by Altria at any time during a period of fifteen Business Days following receipt of a Triggering Event Notice in accordance with Section 3.1(c) (or, in the case of a Triggering Event Notice relating to a “bought deal” offering, during a period of two Business Days following receipt of such Triggering Event Notice). During the period set forth in the preceding sentence, if Altria wishes to exercise the Pre-emptive Right, Altria shall deliver an irrevocable notice (an “Exercise Notice”) in writing addressed to the Company confirming that it wishes to exercise the Pre-emptive Right in respect of such Triggering Event, specifying the number of Pre-emptive Right Securities that it shall purchase and the member(s) of the Altria Group to which such Pre-emptive Right Securities are to be issued, if other than Altria (it being understood and agreed that any Exercise Notice shall also be unconditional, except that Altria may condition the exercise of its Pre-emptive Rights on the consummation of the applicable Triggering Event). If the Company does not receive an Exercise Notice in respect of a Triggering Event Notice within the applicable period set out above, Altria shall be deemed to have not exercised the Pre-emptive Right in respect of the Triggering Event to which such Triggering Event Notice relates and the Pre-emptive Right shall be deemed to have expired in respect of such Triggering Event.

(e) Subject to applicable Law, the Pre-emptive Right Closing of the issue of the Pre-emptive Right Securities shall occur on the Triggering Event Closing Date or such later date as the Parties may agree upon, subject to extension to obtain any required regulatory approval.

Section 3.2 Top-Up Securities.

(a) Until the Trigger Time, Altria shall have a right (the “Top-Up Right”) to subscribe for Common Shares in connection with any Top-Up Securities that the Company may, from time to time, issue after the date of this Agreement; provided that in the event that the

- 19 -

approval of the TSX, NASDAQ or other stock exchange shall be required in order to exercise a Top-Up Right, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such approval as promptly as practicable. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be subscribed for by Altria pursuant to the Top-Up Right shall equal the number of Common Shares such that, after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Securities and the Common Shares issued pursuant to the Top-Up Right, the percentage of Common Shares of the Company beneficially owned by the Altria Group, calculated on a non-diluted basis, is equal to such percentage immediately prior to such issuances. In determining the percentage applicable to the Top-Up Right with respect to any fiscal quarter, any prior issuances of Common Shares by the Company with respect to which (i) Altria had a Pre-Emptive Right or Top-Up Right and (ii) (A) the period for exercise thereof shall not have expired or (B) to the extent Altria shall have exercised such Pre-Emptive Right or Top-Up Right, the closing of such sale shall not yet have occurred, in each case, as of the date of such calculation shall be excluded.

(b) The Top-Up Right may be exercised on a quarterly basis as set out in Section 3.2(d). Any dilution to the Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares resulting from the issuance of Top-Up Securities during a fiscal quarter of the Company shall be disregarded for purposes of determining, prior to the later of (i) the expiration of the Top-Up Right Notice Period and (ii) if Altria submits a Top-Up Notice Acceptance, the sale of such Top-Up Securities to Altria, the Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Top-Up Right shall be effected through subscriptions for Common Shares by Altria for a price per Common Share equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX during regular trading hours for the ten full trading days preceding the delivery of the Top-Up Right Acceptance Notice by Altria and, if applicable, shall be subject to approval by the TSX and NASDAQ; provided, however, that with respect to any Top-Up Right arising from the issuance of any Top-Up Securities pursuant to the exercise, conversion or exchange of any security that is outstanding on the date of this Agreement, the price per Common Share to be paid by Altria in connection with its exercise of its Top-Up Right shall be $16.25 per Common Share, without any setoff, counterclaim, deduction or withholding.

(c) In the event that the approval of the Company Shareholders shall be required in order to exercise a Top-Up Right, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the approval of such Top-Up Right at the next meeting of the Company Shareholders that is convened by the Company in order to allow Altria to exercise its Top-Up Right. The Company shall solicit proxies from the Company Shareholders for use at such meeting to obtain such approval.

(d) Until the Trigger Time, within thirty days following the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company, the Company shall send a written notice to Altria (the “Top-Up Right Offer Notice”) specifying: (i) the number of Top-Up Securities issued during such fiscal quarter; (ii) the expected use of proceeds from any exercise of the Top-Up Right by Altria; (iii) the total number of the then issued and outstanding Common Shares (which shall include any securities to be issued to Persons having similar participation rights); and (iv) the Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares (based on the last publicly reported ownership figures of the Altria Group and the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares in (iii) above), assuming Altria did not exercise its Top-Up Right.

- 20 -

(e) Altria shall have a period of fifteen Business Days from the date of the Top-Up Right Offer Notice (the “Top-Up Right Notice Period”) to notify the Company in writing (the “Top-Up Right Acceptance Notice”) of the exercise, in full or in part, of its Top-Up Right. The Top-Up Right Acceptance Notice shall specify the number of Common Shares subscribed for by Altria pursuant to the Top-Up Right and the subscription price calculated in accordance with Section 3.3(b) and shall be irrevocable and unconditional. If Altria fails to deliver a Top-Up Right Acceptance Notice within the Top-Up Right Notice Period, then the Top-Up Right of Altria in respect of the issuances of Top-Up Securities during the applicable fiscal quarter is extinguished. If Altria gives a Top-Up Right Acceptance Notice, the sale of the Top-Up Securities to Altria shall be completed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

Section 3.3 Exercise of Pre-emptive Rights and Top-Up Rights. Each of the Parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done as promptly as practicable, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Article 3, including obtaining any governmental, regulatory, stock exchange or other consents, transfers, orders, qualifications, waivers, authorizations, exemptions and approvals, providing all notices and making all registrations, filings and applications necessary or desirable for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Article 3, including any filings with Governmental Authorities. The Company shall forthwith notify Altria if as a condition of obtaining any applicable regulatory approvals, including securities regulatory and stock exchange approval, the purchase price must be an amount greater than the Triggering Event Price or the price specified in a Top-Up Right Offer Notice, as applicable, and shall keep Altria fully informed and allow Altria to participate in any communications with such securities regulator or stock exchange regarding the exercise of Altria’s rights under this Article 3.

(b) The obligation of the Company to consummate a purchase of Pre-emptive Right Securities or Top-Up Right Securities, as the case may be, under this Article 3 is subject to the fulfilment, prior to or at the applicable closing date, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by the Company in writing:

(ii) no applicable Law shall have been enacted or announced which prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Article 3 or makes such consummation illegal;

(iii) in the case of a purchase of Pre-emptive Right Securities, the closing of the issue and sale of the securities constituting the Triggering Event shall have occurred prior to, or shall occur concurrently with, the Pre-emptive Right Closing;

(iv) any member of the Altria Group purchasing securities shall execute a subscription or purchase agreement, which in the case of a purchase of Pre-emptive Right Securities shall be substantially in the same form as the agreements being

- 21 -

entered into by the other participants in such Triggering Event, which, for greater certainty, shall include confirmation that such member of the Altria Group is an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act or its equivalent under applicable Laws) or is otherwise eligible to purchase securities of the Company pursuant to an exemption from applicable prospectus and registration requirements; and

(v) any stock exchange upon which the Common Shares are then listed and any other Governmental Authority, in each case whose approval is required, shall have approved the issue and sale of such securities.

(c) The obligation of Altria and/or its designee to consummate a purchase of Pre-emptive Right Securities or Top-Up Right Securities, as the case may be, under this Article 3 is subject to the fulfilment, prior to or at the applicable closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by Altria and/or its designee in writing:

(i) there shall not be in effect any Order which prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Article 3, nor shall there be any pending Claim seeking to prohibit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Article 3;

(ii) no applicable Law shall have been enacted or announced which prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Article 3 or makes such consummation illegal;

(iv) any stock exchange upon which the Common Shares are then listed and any other Governmental Authority whose approval is required, shall have approved of the issue and sale of such securities.

(d) At or prior to the closing of any issuance of securities to the Altria Group under this Article 3:

(i) the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Altria the applicable securities registered in the name of or otherwise credited to Altria or such member of the Altria Group as is designated in writing by it;

(ii) Altria shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Company payment of the applicable purchase price by certified check or wire or other electronic funds transfer; and

(iii) the Parties shall deliver any documents required to evidence the requirements set out in Section 3.3(a) and Section 3.3(c).

- 22 -

Section 3.4 No Obligations Unless Pre-emptive Right or Top-Up Right Exercised. Nothing herein contained or done pursuant hereto shall obligate Altria to purchase or pay for, or shall obligate the Company to issue, the Pre-emptive Right Securities or Top-Up Right Securities except upon the exercise by Altria of the Pre-emptive Right or Top-Up Right, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 3 and compliance with all other conditions precedent to such issue and purchase contained in this Article 3.

Section 3.5 No Rights as Holder of Pre-emptive Right Securities or Top-Up Right Securities. Altria shall not have any rights whatsoever as a holder of any of the Pre-emptive Right Securities or Top-Up Right Securities (in each case, including any right to receive dividends or other distributions therefrom or thereon) until Altria shall have acquired the Pre-emptive Right Securities or Top-Up Right Securities, as applicable.

(i) the Recipient shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives, to hold the Confidential Information in confidence, and shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person, other than its Representatives or its Affiliates who reasonably need to know such information in providing services to such Recipient, any Confidential Information without the prior written consent of the Discloser. If any disclosures are made in connection with providing services to the Recipient under this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, then the Confidential Information so disclosed shall be disclosed solely to the extent necessary to perform such services. The Recipient shall use the same degree of care to prevent and restrain the unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by any of their Representatives as they currently use for their own confidential information of a like nature, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care;

(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.4, no consent of the Discloser shall be required for the Recipient to disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser if such disclosure is required by applicable Law or the failure to disclose such Confidential Information would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Recipient, including, for greater certainty, the rules of any stock exchange upon which securities of the Recipient or any of its Affiliates are traded and any requirement to disclose information to any Taxing Authority; provided that the Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prior written notice to the Discloser and a reasonable opportunity for the Discloser to review and comment on the requisite disclosure before it is made. Further, in the event the Recipient is requested or required (including by interrogatories, subpoena or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information of the Discloser, the Recipient shall provide the Discloser with prompt written notice of such request (if legally permitted) so the Discloser may consider whether it wishes to seek an appropriate protective order. In the absence of a protective order, the Recipient shall disclose only such Confidential Information as is legally required and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the confidentiality of any such Confidential Information that is disclosed;

- 26 -

(iii) each Party’s obligations with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret shall continue until such Confidential Information no longer constitutes a trade secret under applicable Law; and

(iv) upon demand by Discloser upon the termination of this Agreement, the Recipient agrees, to the extent practicable, to promptly return or destroy, at the Discloser’s option, all tangible embodiments of Confidential Information and certify to such return or destruction in writing.

(c) Other than in connection with or related to a Claim brought by any member of the Altria Group or any of their respective Representatives against the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective Representatives, in the event that the Company objects to any request from or on behalf of any member of the Altria Group on the basis of one or more of the matters set forth in clause (i) of Section 4.4(b), it must do so by providing Altria and/or its Representatives, in reasonable detail, the nature of what is being withheld and the reasons and reasonable support therefor, and prior to preventing such access or withholding such information or documents from such member of the Altria Group and its Representatives, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure that does not suffer from any of the impediments expressly set forth in clause (i) of Section 4.4(b), including through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions and implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to as promptly as practicable permit such access and the furnishing of such information and documents in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate “counsel-to-counsel” disclosure, clean room procedures, redaction and other customary procedures, entry into a customary joint defense agreement and, with respect to the contractual confidentiality obligations contemplated by clause (i)(C) of Section 4.4(b), obtaining a waiver with respect to or consent under such contractual confidentiality obligations (without conceding anything of monetary or economic value, or requiring the payment of any consideration, fees or expenses to such third-party counterparties).

- 27 -

(d) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, the Parties, as each deems advisable and necessary, after consultation with their respective outside legal counsel, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive information and documents as “Outside Counsel Only Information.” Such information and documents shall only be provided to the outside legal counsel of the other Party, or subject to such other similar restrictions mutually agreed to by the Parties or a joint defense agreement between the Parties; provided, however, that, subject to any applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the outside legal counsel receiving such information and documents may prepare one or more reports summarizing the results of any analysis of any such shared information and documents, and disclose such reports, other summaries or aggregated information derived from such shared information and documents to Representatives of such outside legal counsel’s client.

(e) To the extent that any of the information or documents furnished or otherwise made available pursuant to this Agreement constitutes information or documents that may be subject to an attorney-client privilege or protection (including attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protections and confidentiality protections) or any other applicable privilege or protection concerning pending or threatened Claims, the Parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material and information is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or information or its continued protection under such privileges and protections.

- 29 -

(f) upon receipt by the Company of a reasonably detailed written notice from Altria advising the Company that: (i) Altria has determined based on information reasonably available to it as at the date of this Agreement and after consultation with its outside legal counsel, a nationally recognized firm, that the holding of an investment in the Company by any member of the Altria Group would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of, or any material liability, other than any liability arising from obligations required to be performed by the Altria Group under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, to the Altria Group under applicable Law and such violation or liability, in the reasonable determination of Altria, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, a nationally recognized firm, could not reasonably be expected to be cured (other than by a disposition of the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Altria Group to a third party) by commercially reasonable efforts to do so (it being understood and agreed that the Company, if requested by Altria, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Altria Group with any such efforts); and (ii) as a result of such determinations, the Altria Group wishes to sell all of the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Altria Group on the TSX, NASDAQ or such other stock exchange, marketplace or trading market on which the Common Shares are listed or traded at such time, then, as soon as practicable, and no later than 9:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the thirtieth day following receipt by the Company of the written notice from Altria outlining the basis upon which Altria has reached the above-referenced determinations, the Company shall, through a press release or other publicly filed or furnished document (the “Cleansing Document”), make the Cleansing Announcement, including filing or furnishing a copy of the Cleansing Document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For greater clarity, the rights of Altria set forth in this clause (f) are without prejudice to the registration rights set forth on Schedule 3;

The Company shall furnish Altria with information with respect to such opportunity as is then reasonably available to the Company;

(h) If Altria notifies the Company in writing (the “Notice of Disapproval”) that its consent is withheld because it has determined in good faith upon the written advice of its outside legal counsel, a nationally recognized firm, that such activity would reasonably be expected to result in a material violation under applicable Law, and, as of the date of delivery of the Notice of Disapproval, there is an effective Prospectus and Registration Statement that would permit the Altria Group to effect a Distribution of its Company Equity Securities (and such Prospectus and Registration Statement would remain effective for at least one year following such date and none of the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1 of Schedule 3 shall then be in

- 30 -

effect), then no later than 9:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the thirtieth day following the Company’s receipt of the Notice of Disapproval, the Company shall, through a Cleansing Document, make a Cleansing Announcement, including filing or furnishing a copy of the Cleansing Document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Altria Group shall use commercially reasonable efforts to dispose of all of its Company Equity Securities. If, as of the date of delivery of the Notice of Disapproval, there is not a valid Prospectus and Registration Statement that would permit the Altria Group to effect a Distribution of its Company Equity Securities (or such Prospectus and Registration Statement would not remain effective for at least one year following such date or any of the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1 of Schedule 3 shall then be in effect), then the Company shall repurchase all Company Equity Securities beneficially owned by the Altria Group at a purchase price per Common Share equal to the volume-weighted average price of the Common Shares on the TSX (or, if not traded on the TSX, such other applicable stock or securities exchange) during regular trading hours for the ten full trading days preceding the delivery of the Notice of Disapproval. Such repurchase shall be effected on the tenth Business Day following the delivery of the Notice of Disapproval, and on such date the Company shall pay to Altria or its designee the aggregate purchase in respect of all Company Equity Securities beneficially owned by the Altria Group and, upon payment of such purchase price, the Company shall cancel all of such Company Equity Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Altria shall not be required to take the actions set forth in this clause (h) if, within five Business Days of the delivery of the Notice of Disapproval, a senior officer of the Company certifies to Altria in writing that the Company has abandoned its intention to undertake such activity; and

(i) for so long as the Percentage of Outstanding Common Shares is at least forty percent (subject to the obligations of the directors of the Company to comply with their fiduciary obligations under applicable Law), the Company shall not implement or adopt any shareholder rights plan without the prior written consent of Altria, and in any case such plan shall not impair Altria’s rights as a stockholder as of the date of adoption nor adversely affect Altria’s other rights pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

Section 5.2 Representations and Warranties of Altria. Altria hereby represents and warrants to the Company, on behalf of itself, Purchaser and Altria Common Shareholder, that Altria Common Shareholder is an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions) and each of Altria, Purchaser and Altria Common Shareholder is an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of SEC Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and is acquiring the securities contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchased Warrant Certificate for its own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by it for the benefit of one or more other accredited investors and for investment only and not with a view toward, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof, nor with any intention of distributing or selling such securities in violation of applicable Law and acknowledges that securities may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without registration under applicable securities Law, except pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom, without compliance with any other applicable Law, and in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, which Altria acknowledges includes certain limitations with respect to such securities, and the certificates and/or book-entry positions representing such securities will initially bear the Legends.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 7.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules) and the Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, understandings, representations and warranties, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters.

Section 7.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person (other than as expressly provided in Schedule 3) any rights or remedies, express or implied, hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of Section 7.4, the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No Party may assign any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise (including pursuant to the division of a limited liability company), without the prior written consent of the other Parties not seeking to assign any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 7.6 shall be null and void; provided, however, that Altria or any member of the Altria Group that is a Holder may assign any of its interests to any other member of the Altria Group (including any member of the Altria Group to whom Common Shares are transferred pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), so long as Altria or such Holder provides the Company with advance written notice thereof and, as applicable, complies with any obligations with respect to any transfers, in which event all references to Altria or such Holder in this Agreement shall be deemed references to such other member of the Altria Group, except that all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect to Altria as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other member of the Altria Group as of the date of such assignment (other than, to the extent not required by applicable Law, with respect to the “accredited investor” status of such Holder); provided, that no such assignment shall in any way alter or modify the scope of Altria’s obligations set forth in Section 5.4; and provided, further, that (a) any such assignment shall not

- 39 -

reasonably be expected (in the Company’s reasonable determination) to adversely affect the rights of the Company or the Company Shareholders (other than any member of the Altria Group) in any respect and (b) no assignment, delegation or designation shall relieve Altria or any such Holder of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement unless the Parties enter into a novation.

Section 7.7 Amendment or Other Modification; Waiver.

(a) Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified only by a written instrument duly executed and delivered by the Parties.

(b) The conditions to each of the respective Parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are for the sole benefit of such Party and may be waived by such Party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, however, that any such waiver shall only be effective if made in a written instrument duly executed and delivered by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under applicable Law shall operate as a waiver of such rights and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 7.8 Governing Law and Venue; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) This Agreement shall be in all respects governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal Laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions, rules or principles thereof (or any other jurisdiction) to the extent that such provisions, rules or principles would direct a matter to another jurisdiction.

(b) Subject to the express terms and conditions of Schedule 3 with respect to indemnification, each of the Parties agrees that: (i) it shall bring any Claim in connection with, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exclusively in the Chosen Court; and (ii) solely in connection with such Claims, it (A) irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Court, (B) irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue in any such Claim in the Chosen Court, (C) irrevocably waives any objection that the Chosen Court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over any Party, (D) agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Claim in the manner provided in Section 7.1 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof and (E) shall not assert as a defense any matter or Claim waived by the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) of this Section 7.8(b) or that any Order issued by the Chosen Court may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Court.

- 40 -

(c) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may be connected with, arise out of or otherwise relate to this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is expected to involve complicated and difficult issues, and therefore each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any Claim, directly or indirectly, connected with, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Party hereby acknowledges and certifies that (i) no Representative of the other Parties has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Parties would not, in the event of any Claim, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) it understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) it makes this waiver voluntarily and (iv) it has been induced to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, acknowledgments and certifications set forth in this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9 Injunctive Relief. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party contemplated by this Agreement, including those with respect to the consummation of any transactions contemplated hereby, are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or damage would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party agrees that in addition to any other available remedies a Party may have in equity or at law, each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to obtain an injunction restraining any breach or violation or threatened breach or violation of the provisions of this Agreement, consistent with the provisions of Section 7.8(b), in the Chosen Court without necessity of posting a bond or other form of security. In the event that any Claim should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 7.10 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties shall promptly do, make, execute, deliver, or cause to be done, made, executed or delivered, all such further acts, documents and things as may reasonably be required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.11 Publicity. The Parties shall consult with each other, provide each other with reasonable opportunity for review and give due consideration to reasonable comment by each other, prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements, disclosures or communications with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Altria shall each provide prior notice to the other party of any public disclosure that it proposes to make which if disclosed would include the name of such Party or any of its Affiliates, together with a draft copy of such disclosure and under no circumstances shall any public disclosure of the such Party or any of its Affiliates include the name of the other Party or its Affiliates without the other Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), except in each case (a) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange, interdealer quotation service, TSX or NASDAQ, (b) as may be requested by

- 41 -

a Governmental Authority or (c) in connection with ordinary course communications with employees of such party or any of its Affiliates. In addition to the exceptions set forth in foregoing clauses (a) through (c) of the second sentence of this Section 7.11, each Party, its Subsidiaries and Representatives thereof may make any public statements, disclosures or communications in response to inquiries from the press, analysts, investors, customers or suppliers or via industry conferences or analyst or investor conference calls, and in connection with general investor relations activities, so long as such statements, disclosures or communications are not inconsistent in tone and substance with previous public statements, disclosures or communications jointly made by the Parties, made by the other party or any of its Subsidiaries (or Representatives thereof) or to the extent that they have been reviewed and previously approved by the other Party, in each case within the same fiscal year as the contemplated public statement, disclosure or communication to be made by such Party, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives. No disclosure of information in accordance with this Section 7.11 shall constitute a breach of Section 4.4.

Section 7.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission, including in portable document format (.pdf), shall be deemed as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

If permitted under the Securities Act, such Shelf Registration Statement shall be an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

-3-

(c) At any time and from time to time that a Shelf Registration Statement or Base Shelf Prospectus is effective, if the Holder requests (i) the registration under the Securities Act of additional Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) that the Holder be added as a selling shareholder in such Shelf Registration Statement or Base Shelf Prospectus, as applicable, the Company shall as promptly as practicable amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement to cover such additional Registrable Securities and/or the Holder.

(d) Each Holder shall be entitled, at any time and from time to time when a Shelf Registration Statement is effective, to sell any or all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Takedown”); provided that any Shelf Takedown that is an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall be subject to Section 2.1(e) of this Schedule 3.

(e) The Holder, if intending to effect a Shelf Takedown, shall be entitled to request, by written notice to the Company (an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown Notice”), that the Shelf Takedown be an underwritten offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”). The Underwritten Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Holder pursuant to the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the intended method of distribution.

(f) The Company will satisfy any Demand Registration to facilitate a secondary offering in one or more of the Qualifying Provinces at a time that a Base Shelf Prospectus is effective by filing a Base Shelf Supplement with the applicable Canadian Securities Regulators, in accordance with National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than the third business day after the Demand Registration is received (unless otherwise indicated by the Holder in the Demand Notice).

(g) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 2.1, the Company shall be entitled to postpone a Shelf Registration and/or filing a Base Shelf Prospectus if the Company Board reasonably determines in its good faith judgment, and will not be required to keep a Shelf Registration Statement and/or Base Shelf Prospectus effective during any period in respect of which the Company Board reasonably determines in its good faith judgment, that either: (i) such filing or keeping effective, as applicable, would impede the ability of the Company to consummate a pending or proposed material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization, merger or other transaction involving the Company or would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or (ii) there exists at the time material non-public information relating to the Company the disclosure of which would be detrimental to the Company (each, a “Valid Business Reason”), in which case the Company’s obligations under this Section 2.1 of this Schedule 3 shall be deferred for a period of not more than 90 days upon such written notice; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall give written notice to the Holder: (x) of its determination pursuant to this subcluase (f), and, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable securities Laws, of the facts giving rise to the Valid Business Reason and (y) of the time at which it determines the Valid Business Reason to no longer exist; and (B) the Company shall not qualify or register any securities offered by the Company during such period.

-4-

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1, nothing in this Section 2.1 shall obligate the Company to take any action that would not be permitted by Section 6.10 of the Ginkgo Agreement.

Section 2.2 Demand Registration Rights.

(a) From the date hereof until the Trigger Time, at any time and from time to time, the Holder, subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2 of this Schedule 3, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall be entitled to make no more than, during any twelve-month period, two written requests of the Company for the Company to file a Prospectus under applicable securities Laws and/or, if the Company is not eligible under applicable Law to register Registrable Securities by way of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 2.1, a Registration Statement other than a Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act and take such other steps as may be necessary to facilitate a secondary offering in one or more of the Qualifying Provinces and/or the United States, as applicable, of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities held by the Holder (a “Demand Registration”), by giving written notice of such Demand Registration to the Company (the “Demand Notice”).

(b) The Company shall not be obliged to effect a Demand Registration:

(i) within a period of three months after the date of completion of a Distribution in respect of which either a Demand Notice or Piggy-Back Notice was delivered;

(ii) if, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, it is not feasible for the Company to proceed with a Demand Distribution because of the unavailability of audited or other required financial statements or financial information or disclosure of the Company or any other Person required to be included in the Prospectus pursuant to applicable Law or any other disclosure required pursuant to applicable securities Laws; provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financial statements or other disclosure as promptly as practicable;

(iii) during any black-out period in which the Company is not permitted to issue securities or insiders of the Company are restricted from trading in securities of the Company under applicable Law, the Company’s xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy or any other applicable policy of the Company; or

(iv) if the Demand Registration is expected to result in gross proceeds of less than $50 million, unless the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the Demand Distribution represents five percent or more of the Common Shares then outstanding (on a fully diluted basis);

provided, however, that if the Holder provides a reasonably detailed written notice to the Company advising the Company that Altria has determined based on information not reasonably available to it as at the date of this Agreement and after consultation with its outside legal counsel, a nationally recognized firm, that the holding of an investment in the Company by any

-5-

member of the Altria Group under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements would reasonably be expected to result in a violation of, or any material liability, other than any liability arising from obligations required to be performed by the Altria Group under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements, to the Altria Group under applicable Law and such violation or liability, in the reasonable determination of Altria, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, a nationally recognized firm, could not reasonably be expected to be cured (other than a disposition of the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Altria Group to a third party) by commercially reasonable efforts to do so, which notice outlines the basis upon which the Altria Group has reached the above referenced determination, then the Company shall not be able to refuse a Demand Notice solely on the basis of the limitations included in Sections 2.2(b)(i) and 2.2(b)(iii) of this Schedule 3.

(c) The Company shall be entitled to postpone a Demand Registration (upon written notice to the Holder) in the event the Company Board reasonably determines in its good faith judgment that there exists a Valid Business Reason, in which case the Company’s obligations under this Section 2.2 of this Schedule 3 shall be deferred for a period of not more than 90 days from the date of receipt of the Demand Notice; provided, however, that (A) the Company shall give written notice to the Holder: (x) of its determination to postpone filing of the Prospectus and/or Registration Statement, as applicable, and, subject to compliance by the Company with applicable securities Laws, of the facts giving rise to the Valid Business Reason and (y) of the time at which it determines the Valid Business Reason to no longer exist; and (B) the Company shall not qualify or register any securities offered by the Company during such period.

(d) A Demand Notice shall:

(i) specify the number of Registrable Securities that the Holder intends to offer and sell;

-15-

Company by or on behalf of the Holder or underwriter for use in the Prospectus or the Registration Statement. Any amounts advanced by the Company to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.2 of this Schedule 3 as a result of such losses shall be returned to the Company if it is finally determined by a court in a judgment not subject to appeal or final review that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification by the Company.

Section 3.3 Indemnification by the Holder.

(a) In connection with any Demand Registration and/or Piggy-Back Registration that includes Registrable Securities, the Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any loss (excluding loss of profits), liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), including any amounts paid in settlement of any investigation, order, litigation, proceeding or claim, joint or several, as incurred, arising out of or based on any untrue statement or omission of a material fact, or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact, made or required to be made in the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as applicable, included in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder for use in the Prospectus or Registration Statement; provided, that the Holder shall not be liable under this Section 3.3(a) of this Schedule 3 for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, that the indemnity provided for in this Section 3.3(a) of this Schedule 3 shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission contained in any Prospectus or Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration and/or Piggy Back Registration if the Company or any underwriter failed to send or deliver a copy of the Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus, as applicable, to the Person asserting such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses on or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of any sale of securities covered thereby to such Person in any case where such Prospectus or U.S. Prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission. Any amounts advanced by the Holder to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) of this Schedule 3 as a result of such losses shall be returned to the Holder if it is finally determined by a court in a judgment not subject to appeal or final review that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification by the Holder.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, in connection with any Demand Registration or any Piggy-Back Registration, in no event shall the Holder be liable for indemnification or contribution hereunder for an amount greater than the lesser of: (i) the net sales proceeds actually received by the Holder; and (ii) the Holder’s proportionate share of any such liability based on the net sales proceeds actually received by the Holder and the aggregate net sales proceeds of the Distribution, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by the Holder.

Section 3.4 Defence of the Action by the Indemnifying Parties. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article III of this Schedule 3 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any

-16-

liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Article III of this Schedule 3 except to the extent of the damage or prejudice suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party may assume the defence of such action, including the employment of counsel to be chosen by the Indemnifying Party to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party, and the payment of expenses. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, unless the employment of such counsel is authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defence of such action, or the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to take charge of the defence of such action or the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on the opinion of counsel, that there may be defences available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defence of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events the reasonable fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party, provided, further, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be required to pay the expenses of more than one law firm as counsel for all Indemnified Parties pursuant to this sentence. No Indemnifying Party, in the defence of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

Section 3.5 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 of this Schedule 3, as applicable, is unavailable to a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 of this Schedule 3, as applicable, in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses referred to herein, then each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand in connection with the statement or omission which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or such Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case, no Person guilty of misrepresentation within the meaning of applicable securities Laws and the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of misrepresentation. The amount paid or payable by a party under this Section 3.5 of this Schedule 3 as a result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The Company and the Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.5 of this Schedule 3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 3.5 of this Schedule 3.

The Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Article III of this Schedule 3, the Company is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other Indemnified Parties referred to in this Article III of this Schedule 3.

Section 3.8 Delay of Registration. The Holder shall have no right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Schedule 3.
