(a)

Each Principal Shareholder having a right to designate one or more Nominees under Section 3.1.2 may notify the Company of its designated Nominee(s) at any time but no less than 45 calendar days prior to the date of any Director Election Meeting. If, prior to the Director Election Meeting, the Nominee of a Principal Shareholder is unable or unwilling to serve as a Director, then such Principal Shareholder will be entitled to designate a replacement Nominee.

(b)

Other than Xxxx Xxxxxx pursuant to any designation made pursuant to Section 3.1.2(b)(ii), at least one (1) Nominee designated by each Principal Shareholder must be an Independent Director as determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and, if no Nominee of a Principal Shareholder is determined to be an Independent Director, such Principal Shareholder will be entitled to designate a replacement Nominee.

(c)

Each designated Nominee of a Principal Shareholder shall be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to ensure that the Nominees, when considered collectively with the additional individuals selected by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for nomination to the Board, represent the characteristics, experience, skill set, independence and diversity

- 4 -

desired by the Board.

(d)

For so long as a Principal Shareholder has the right to designate one or more Nominees under Section 3.1.2, and provided that each Nominee (or any replacement thereof which a Principal Shareholder has the right to designate hereunder) has received a favourable recommendation of the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee, the Company shall nominate for election and include in any management information circular relating to any Director Election Meeting (or submit to shareholders by written consent if applicable) each person designated as Nominee of such Principal Shareholder and take all steps which may be necessary or appropriate to recognize, enforce and comply with the rights of any Principal Shareholder under this Section 3.1.

Subject to Section 3.1.7, each Shareholder Group shall vote or cause to be voted all Common Shares that it holds, directly or indirectly, or over which it exercises control or direction, in favor of any Nominee designated by a Principal Shareholder and at any Director Election Meeting, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 3.1.

Section 3.1.4. Other Nominees. The selection of Nominees other than the Nominees designated by the Principal Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.1.2 (including when any designation right of a Principal Shareholder has not been exercised pursuant thereto), shall rest with the Board, or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, if so determined by the Board.

Section 3.1.5. Number of Board Members. The Board shall initially consist of eight (8) members and thereafter shall consist of such other number as may be determined by the Board, provided that, in each case, the number of Directors shall be sufficient to give effect to the rights of each Principal Shareholder hereunder and under any other then existing obligation of the Company in respect thereof, in each case subject to any minimum or maximum number of Directors as provided under the Company’s Articles. Each Shareholder Group will cast all votes attached to all Common Shares held by such Shareholder Group, whether at any annual or special meeting by written consent or otherwise, to give effect to the foregoing.

Section 3.1.6. Replacement Appointment. If any Nominee of a Principal Shareholder resigns, is removed, or is unable to serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a Director, then such Principal Shareholder shall be entitled to designate a replacement to be appointed by the Board as Director as soon as reasonably practicable, except where such Principal Shareholder would have otherwise ceased to be entitled to designate such Nominee pursuant to Section 3.1.2.

Section 3.1.7. Cessation; Resignation.

In the event that a Principal Shareholder ceases to have the right to designate a Nominee pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1.2, such Principal Shareholder shall concurrently therewith, if requested by the Board, use its reasonable efforts to promptly obtain and deliver to the Company the written resignation of any Director previously designated by it pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1.2 such that the number of Directors nominated by such Principal Shareholder and then serving on the Board does not exceed the number of Nominees that such Principal Shareholder would then have the right to designate pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1.2.

- 5 -

Section 3.1.8. Qualifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Directors (including Directors designated by the Principal Shareholders) shall, at all times while serving on the Board, meet the qualification requirements to serve as a director under the QBCA, applicable securities laws and the rules of any stock exchange on which the Common Shares are listed.

Section 3.1.9. Chairman. So long as PEC has the right to designate a Nominee pursuant to Section 3.1.2, PEC shall have the right to designate one (1) of the PEC Directors to serve as Chairman of the Board. The Initial Chairman of the Board will be Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx. In the event that PEC does not have the right to designate the Chairman of the Board, the Chairman of the Board shall be selected by the Board from among the Directors comprising the Board. In the event that the Chairman of the Board is not an Independent Director, the remaining Directors shall designate a lead independent director. The Chairman of the Board shall not be a past or present CEO of the Company.

Section 3.1.10. Board Committees.

(a)

The Board shall establish and maintain committees of the Board (each a “Committee” and collectively, the “Committees”) as required by regulations, the rules of any stock exchange or as determined appropriate by the Board.

(b)

The size of each Committee shall be established by the Board provided that the number of Committee members for each such Committee shall be at least equal to the number of Principal Shareholders having the right to appoint Nominees pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1.2, plus one (1) (which, as of the date hereof, corresponds to three (3) Committee members).

The Committees and their composition shall initially consist of the following:

(i)

Audit Committee: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (Chair), Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx, and Xxx Xxxxxxxxx;

Human Resources and Compensation Committee: Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (Chair), Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Pierre-Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the CEO nor 9368-2672 shall have the right to appoint any Director to the Human Resources and Compensation Committee.

(e)

Each Committee shall be composed of at least a majority of Independent Directors. Except as restricted by applicable laws and regulations, Committees will be allowed to be composed of independent and non-independent directors.

(f)

Each Committee shall be chaired by a Director who is not a Nominee of a Principal Shareholder.

Section 3.1.11. Non-Assignability or Transfer of Rights.

- 6 -

member, provided that such assignee (if not already a party hereto) executes a joinder to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the transfer by a Principal Shareholder to another member of its Shareholder Group shall not relieve any member of such Shareholder Group from its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.1.12. Shareholder Approval. At the first annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company to be held following the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement, and at every fifth (5^th) annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company thereafter, the rights of any Principal Shareholders under Section 3.1.2(a) shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval by a simple majority (>50%) of the votes cast by the shareholders of the Company represented in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that, for greater certainty, all shareholders of the Company shall be entitled to vote with respect to such approval). If such rights are approved by shareholders of the Company in accordance with the foregoing, the rights of any Principal Shareholders under Section 3.1.2(a) shall continue in full force and effect until the next shareholder meeting at which such rights must be submitted for approval. If at any such meeting the requisite shareholder approval is not obtained, the rights of any Principal Shareholders under Section 3.1.2(a) shall become void and shall have no further force and effect.

Section 3.2. Expenses.

Section 3.2.1. The Company shall reimburse the members of the Board for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attendance at meetings of the Board and any committees thereof, including travel, lodging and meal expenses.
