To the extent that any such Rights to Subscribe are exercised, in whole or in part, the securities underlying such Rights to Subscribe (the “Subscription Securities”) shall be issued and must be paid for substantially concurrently with the completion of the Distribution and payment to the Corporation of the issue price for the Distributed Securities, at the lowest price permitted by the applicable securities and stock exchange regulations and subject (as to such price) to the prior consent of the exchanges but at a price not lower than (i) if the Distributed Securities are Subordinate Voting Shares, the price at which Subordinate Voting Shares are then being distributed or issued in the Distribution (excluding, for greater certainty, underwriting commissions and discounts and other transaction expenses paid by the Corporation), (ii) if the Distributed Securities are Convertible Securities, the price at which the applicable Convertible Securities are then being distributed or issued; and (iii) if the Distributed Securities are Voting Shares other than Subordinate Voting Shares, the higher of (a) the weighted average price of the transactions on the Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX (or such other primary stock exchange on which they are listed, as the case may be) for the 20 trading days preceding the Distribution of such Voting Shares or of (b) the weighted average price of transactions on the Subordinate Voting Shares on the TSX (or such other primary stock exchange on which they are listed, as the case may be), the trading day before the Distribution of such Voting Shares.

(4) At least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the closing of any proposed Distribution, the Corporation shall deliver to the Investor Representative a notice in writing offering the Investor the opportunity to subscribe for the applicable Subscription Securities pursuant to the rights to subscribe. The offer will contain a description of the terms and conditions relating to the Distributed Securities and the Subscription Securities and will, to the extent known, state the price at which the Distributed Securities and the Subscription Securities will be distributed and the date on which the issuance of Distributed Securities is to be completed and will state that the Investor, if it wishes to exercise its rights to subscribe and subscribe for Subscription Securities, may do so only by giving written notice of the exercise of the subscription right granted hereby to the Corporation within ten (10) Business Days after the date of delivery of the notice regarding the offer, provided that if the Corporation receives a Bought Deal relating to such Distribution, the Investor shall have not less than 24 hours from the time the Corporation advises it of such Bought Deal to provide the written notice to the Corporation specified in this Section 6.1(4). The Investor will be entitled to participate in the issuance of the Distributed Securities in accordance with Section 6.1(1).

(5) If the Corporation proposes to grant an option or other right for the purchase of or subscription for Distributed Securities (other than options or other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities issued to directors, employees or consultants of the Corporation under compensatory plans of the Corporation which are approved by the Board), such option or other right will also be made available to the Investor as nearly as may be possible in accordance with the foregoing.

(6) The right to receive Rights to Subscribe and the legal or beneficial ownership of the Rights to Subscribe, may be assigned in whole or in part among the Affiliated Transferees, provided that written notice of any such assignment shall be sent promptly to the Corporation.

Section 7.11 Independent Legal Advice

The Parties acknowledge that they have entered into this Agreement willingly with full knowledge of the obligations imposed by the terms of this Agreement. Further, the Parties acknowledge that they have been afforded the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice and confirm by the execution of this Agreement that they have either done so or waived their right to do so, and agree that this Agreement constitutes a binding legal obligation and that they are estopped from raising any claim on the basis that they have not obtained such advice.

Section 7.12 Assignment

Except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Parties may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that, subject to Section 7.3, the Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliated Transferee in connection with the transfer of any Shares to such Affiliate Transferee. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any assignment by operation of law (including by way of amalgamation, merger or other business combination). The Corporation will not agree to an assignment by any Other Investor of its rights or obligations under any Other Investor Rights Agreement without the prior written consents of the Investor.

Section 7.13 Waiver, Amendment

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other provision (whether or not similar). No waiver will be binding unless executed in writing by the Party to be bound by the waiver. A Party’s failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that right. A single or partial exercise of any right will not preclude a Party from any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other right. This Agreement may only be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by written agreement signed by the Parties. The Corporation will not agree to any waiver, amendment, supplement or other modification of any Other Investor Rights Agreement without the prior written consents of the Investor.

collateral, statutory or otherwise, between the Parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Parties have not relied and are not relying on any other information, discussion or understanding in entering into this Agreement.

Section 7.15 Successors and Assigns

This Agreement becomes effective only when executed by the Parties. After that time, it is binding on and enures to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

Section 7.16 Severability

It is the desire and intent of the Parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, the invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so more narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.17 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

This Agreement is governed by and will be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Any action arising out of or under this Agreement, any other document, instrument or agreement contemplated herein or delivered pursuant hereto, or the transactions contemplated hereby or any of such other documents, instruments or agreements, shall be brought only in a federal or provincial court having jurisdiction and venue in Ontario, Canada, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that venue in Ontario is proper. To the extent permitted by applicable law, final judgment against a Party (a certified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any indebtedness of such Party hereunder) in any such legal action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on an unsatisfied judgment or similar proceeding. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any legal action or proceeding, any defense or any Claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named Ontario courts for any reason, including claims that such Party may be immune from the above-described legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, or otherwise), or that such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient or otherwise improper forum or that this Agreement or any of the other aforementioned documents, instruments or agreements, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts, or that the same are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than Ontario. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT SHALL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THIS Section 7.17 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND SHALL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS Section 7.17 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 7.18 Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and/or by electronic means, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and all signatures need not appear on any one counterpart.

Section 7.19 No Recourse

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Corporation and the Investor each acknowledges, covenants and agrees, on behalf of itself and any Person claiming by, through or on behalf of it, that all claims, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, actions or proceedings (in each case, whether in contract or in tort, at law or in equity, or pursuant to statute or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, performance, or breach (whether willful, intentional, unintentional or otherwise) of this Agreement, including any representation or warranty made or alleged to be made in, in connection with, or an as inducement to, this Agreement (each of such above-described legal, equitable or other theories or sources of liability, a “Claim”) may be made or asserted only against (and are expressly limited to) the Corporation and the Investor expressly identified in the preamble to and signature page(s) of this Agreement and/or any Person that delivers a counterpart copy of this Agreement or a written agreement substantially in form attached as Exhibit A hereto from time to time, agreeing to be bound by this Agreement.

The Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall have no interest or expectation in, nor right to be informed of, any potential transaction or matter which may be an investment or business opportunity or prospective economic or competitive advantage in which the Corporation or any of its

Subsidiaries could have an interest or expectancy (each, a “Corporate Opportunity”), and in the event that the Investor or any Investor Affiliated Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a Corporate Opportunity, such Person shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) to communicate, offer or present such Corporate Opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or any Other Investor or other equityholder, director, officer, employee or manager of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (or their respective Affiliates), as the case may be.
