Total Class B Shares Subject to Options

(a)

The aggregate number of Class B Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options must not exceed 23,900,000.

Call on Optionee Stock

The repurchase price shall be paid in cash; provided, however, that at the election of the Corporation the Corporation may pay the repurchase price in part in cash and in part in notes as follows:

(i)

the Corporation will pay a portion of the repurchase price in cash in an amount not less than the amount of tax required to be paid by the Seller in respect to the year of repurchase in connection with the repurchase, such amount to be reasonably determined in good faith by the Corporation on the basis of the highest income tax rate applicable to taxpayers of the applicable type in the jurisdiction in question,

(iii)

notwithstanding any of the provisions of any promissory note issued under Section 4.7(a)(ii), including without limitation, the stated maturity of such note and the stated date on which interest payments are due, cash payments in respect of such promissory note will not become due and payable until such time as such payment can be made without violating any debt financing agreement to which the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is, from time to time, a party.

(ii)

the balance, if any, shall be offered and allocated to Electing Purchasers to the extent they express (or in the election notice expressed) a willingness to purchase additional Remaining Shares (and, in the case of over-subscription for such additional Remaining Shares, shall be allocated among Electing Purchasers in such manner as they may agree, or absent agreement pro rated in accordance with their respective ownership of Class A Shares as of immediately prior to the expiration of the period for submitting election notices).

Conditions of Exercise

The Plan and each Option are subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the Class B Shares subject to such Option upon any stock exchange or under any provincial, state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, stock exchange or of the holders of the Class B Shares generally, is necessary or desirable, as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option or the issue or purchase of Class B Shares thereunder, no such Option may be granted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board.  The Optionees shall, to the extent applicable, cooperate with the Corporation in relation to such listing, registration, qualification, consent or other approval and shall have no claim or cause of action against the Corporation or any of its officers or directors as a result of any failure by the Corporation to obtain or to take any steps to obtain any such registration, qualification or approval.

ARTICLE 6
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

6.1

Legal Requirement

The Corporation is not obligated to grant any Options, issue any Class B Shares or other securities, make any payments or take any other action if, in the opinion of the Board, in its sole discretion, such action would constitute a violation by an Optionee or the Corporation of any provision of any applicable statutory or regulatory enactment of any government or government agency.

6.2

Optionee's Entitlement

Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, Options previously granted under this Plan, whether or not then exercisable, are not affected by any change in the relationship between, or ownership of, the Corporation and an Affiliated company.  For greater certainty, all Options remain valid and exercisable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and are not affected by reason only that, at any time, an Affiliated company ceases to be an Affiliated company.

6.3

Withholding Taxes

The exercise of each Option granted under this Plan is subject to the condition that if at any time the Corporation determines, in its discretion, that the satisfaction of withholding tax or other withholding liabilities is necessary or desirable in respect of such exercise, such exercise is not effective unless such withholding has been effected to the satisfaction of the Corporation.  In such circumstances, the Corporation may require that an Optionee pay to the Corporation, in addition to and in the same manner as the Exercise Price for the Class B Shares, such amount as the Corporation is obliged to remit to the relevant taxing authority in respect of the exercise of the Option.  Any such additional payment is due no later than the date as of which any amount with respect to the Option exercised first becomes includable in the gross income of the Optionee for tax purposes.

6.4

Rights of Participant/Optionee

No Participant has any claim or right to be granted an Option (including, without limitation, an Option granted in substitution for any Option that has expired pursuant to the terms of this Plan), and the granting of any Option is not to be construed as giving an Optionee a right to remain in the employ of the Corporation or an Affiliated company.  No Optionee has any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of Common Shares issuable on the exercise of rights to acquire Common Shares under any Option (including, without limitation, the payment of dividends or other distributions) until the allotment and issuance to the Optionee of certificates representing such Common Shares.  The loss of existing or potential profit in Options granted under this Plan shall not constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of an Optionee's employment or service in any office or otherwise.

6.5

Termination; Amendment

(a)

The Plan will terminate and, for greater certainty, all unexercised Options shall terminate and expire on the date upon which no further Class B Shares remain available for issuance pursuant to Options which may be granted under the Plan and no Options remain outstanding unless renewed for such further period and upon such terms and conditions as the Board may determine.

(b)

The Board may, without notice, at any time or from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate this Plan or any provisions hereof in such respects as it, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate.  No such amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan, without the consent of any Optionee or the representatives of his or her estate, as applicable, alters or impairs any rights or obligations arising from any Option previously granted to an Optionee under this Plan.

6.6

Indemnification

Every Director will at all times be indemnified and saved harmless by the Corporation from and against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever including any income tax liability arising from any such indemnification, that such Director may sustain or incur by reason of any action, suit or proceeding, taken or threatened against the Director, otherwise than by the Corporation, for or in respect of any act done or omitted by the Director in respect of this Plan, such costs, charges and expenses to include any amount paid to settle such action, suit or proceeding or in satisfaction of any judgement rendered therein.

6.7

Participation in the Plan

The participation of any Participant in the Plan is entirely voluntary and not obligatory and shall not be interpreted as conferring upon such Participant any rights or privileges other than those rights and privileges expressly provided in the Plan. In particular, participation in the Plan does not constitute a condition of employment nor a commitment on the part of the Corporation to ensure the continued employment of such Participant. The Plan does not provide any guarantee against any loss which may result from fluctuations in the market value of the Class B Shares. The Corporation does not assume responsibility for the income or other tax consequences for the Participants and they are advised to consult with their own tax advisors.

6.8

Effective Date

This Plan becomes effective on a date to be determined by the Board.

6.9

Language

The parties have expressly requested that this Plan and all related documents be drafted in English only.  Les parties ont expressément requis que ce regime et tous les documents qui s'y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

6.10

Governing Law

This Plan is created under and is to be governed, construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the Province of Quebec and the laws of Canada applicable therein.
