ARTICLE 5SHARE CAPITAL ADJUSTMENTS


5.1    General


The existence of any Option does not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its shareholders to make, authorize or determine any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, plan of arrangement, merger or consolidation involving the Corporation, to create or issue any bonds, debentures, shares or other securities of the Corporation or to determine the rights and conditions attaching thereto, to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or to effect any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, whether or not any such action referred to in this section would have an adverse effect on this Plan or any Option granted hereunder.


5.2    Reorganization of Corporation’s Capital


Should the Corporation effect a subdivision or consolidation of Subordinate Voting Shares or any other capital reorganization or a payment of a stock dividend (other than a stock dividend that is in lieu of a cash dividend), or should any other change be made in the capitalization of the Corporation that, in the opinion of the Board, would warrant the replacement of any existing Options in order to adjust: (a) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Options; and/or (b) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Optionees, the Board will authorize such steps to be taken as may be equitable and appropriate to that end.


5.3    Other Events Affecting the Corporation


In the event of (a) an amalgamation, combination, plan of arrangement, merger or other reorganization, including by a sale or lease of assets or otherwise, involving the Corporation by exchange of Subordinate Voting Shares, or (b) the payment of any extraordinary dividend, if the Board is of the opinion that such amalgamation, combination, plan of arrangement, merger, other reorganization or dividend payment warrants the replacement of any existing Options in order to adjust: (x) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Options; (y) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Optionees and/or (z) the type of securities that may be acquired by the Optionees on the exercise of any outstanding Options, the Board will authorize such steps to be taken as may be equitable and appropriate to that end.





5.4    Immediate Exercise of Awards


Where the Board determines that the steps provided in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 would not preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of the Optionees in the circumstances or otherwise determines that it is appropriate, the Board may permit the immediate exercise of any outstanding Options that are not otherwise exercisable.


5.5    Issue by Corporation of Additional Shares


Except as expressly provided in this Article 5, neither the issue by the Corporation of shares of any class or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any class, nor the conversion or exchange of such shares or securities, affects, and no adjustment by reason thereof is to be made with respect to: (a) the number of Subordinate Voting Shares that may be acquired on the exercise of any outstanding Options; or (b) the Exercise Price of any outstanding Options.


5.6    Fractions


No fractional Subordinate Voting Shares will be issued on the exercise of an Option. Accordingly, if, as a result of any adjustment under Sections 5.2 to 5.4, an Optionee would become entitled to a fractional Subordinate Voting Share, the Optionee has the right to acquire only the adjusted number of full Subordinate Voting Shares and the fractional Subordinate





- 10 -


---






Voting Shares shall be disregarded, and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Subordinate Voting Shares so disregarded.


5.7    Conditions of Exercise


This 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 Subordinate Voting Shares subject to such Option upon any Stock Exchange or under any provincial, state, federal or foreign law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, Stock Exchange or of the holders of shares in the capital of the Corporation generally, is necessary or desirable, as a condition of, or in connection with the issue or purchase of Subordinate Voting Shares thereunder, no such Option may be 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 issue any Subordinate Voting 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    Quotation of Shares


So long as the Subordinate Voting Shares are listed on one or more Stock Exchanges, the Corporation must apply to such Stock Exchange or Stock Exchanges for the listing or quotation, as applicable, of the Subordinate Voting Shares underlying the Options granted under the Plan, however, the Corporation cannot guarantee that such Subordinate Voting Shares will be listed or quoted on any Stock Exchange.


6.3    Optionee’s Entitlement


Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or unless the Board permits otherwise, upon any Affiliate of the Corporation ceasing to be an Affiliate of the Corporation, Options previously granted under this Plan that, at the time of such change, are held by a Person who is a director, officer or employee of such Affiliate of the Corporation and not of the Corporation itself, whether or not then exercisable, shall automatically terminate on the date of such change.


6.4    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 Subordinate Voting 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 must be withheld by the Corporation.


6.5    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 Affiliate. No Optionee has any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of Subordinate Voting Shares issuable on the exercise of rights to acquire Subordinate Voting Shares under any Option (including, without limitation, the payment of dividends or other distributions) until the fulfillment by the Optionee of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.4 and 6.4. The loss of existing or potential profit in shares underlying 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.
