combination transaction, shall not reduce the number of Common Shares remaining available for grant hereunder.

securities, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, or divesture or any other similar event affecting the Company’s capital structure, or changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, to reflect such change
in the Company’s capital structure, the Committee shall make appropriate equitable adjustments to the maximum number and type of Common Shares (or other securities) that may be issued under the Plan as set forth in Section 6(a) and the
limit set forth in Section 6(d). In the event of any extraordinary dividend, divestiture or other distribution (other than ordinary cash dividends) of assets to shareholders, or any transaction or event described above, or changes in applicable
laws, regulations or accounting principles, to the extent necessary to prevent the enlargement or diminution of the rights of Participants, the Committee shall make appropriate equitable adjustments to the number or kind of shares subject to an
outstanding Award (including the identity of the issuer), the exercise or hurdle price applicable to an outstanding Award, and/or any measure of performance that relates to an outstanding Award, including any applicable Performance Criteria. Any
adjustment to ISOs under this Section 6(e) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code. With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A of the Code,
any adjustments under this Section 6(e) shall conform to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Committee may, in its discretion, decline to adjust any Award made to a
Participant, if it determines that such adjustment would violate applicable law or result in adverse tax consequences to the Participant or to the Company. If, as a result of any adjustment under this Section 6(e), a Participant would become
entitled to a fractional Common Share, the Participant has the right to acquire only the adjusted number of full Common Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional Common Shares so disregarded. Adjustments
under this Section 6(e) are subject to any applicable regulatory approvals.

non-employee Director in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement.

issued to Insiders, within any one year period, under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, cannot exceed 10% of issued and outstanding securities and (iii) the number of Common Shares issuable to non-employee Directors, at any time, under all security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, cannot exceed 1% of issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

of whole Common Shares equal to (A) the difference between (x) the aggregate Market Price of the Common Shares subject to the Option (or the portion of such Option then being exercised) and (y) the aggregate exercise price for all
such Common Shares under the Option (or the portion thereof then being exercised) plus (to the extent it would not give rise to adverse accounting consequences pursuant to applicable accounting principles or to adverse tax consequences to the
Participants under Canadian federal, provincial or territorial tax laws) the amount of withholding tax due upon exercise divided by (B) the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of exercise. Any fractional share that would result from such
equation shall be canceled. 

  

	 	(iii)	 ISOs. The terms and conditions of ISOs granted hereunder shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 422 of the Code and the terms, conditions, limitations and administrative procedures established by the Committee from time to time in accordance with the Plan. At the discretion of the Committee, ISOs may be granted only
to an employee of the Company, its “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or a Subsidiary. 


  

	 	(1)	 ISO Grants to 10% Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 7(a), if an ISO is granted to a Participant who owns shares representing more than ten percent of the voting power of all classes of shares of the Company, its “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424
(e) of the Code) or a Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall not exceed five years from the time of grant of such Option and the exercise price shall be at least 110 percent of the Market Price (as of the date of grant) of the Common Shares
subject to the Option. 


  

	 	(2)	 $100,000 Per Year Limitation for ISOs. To the extent the aggregate Market Price
(determined as of the date of grant) of the Common Shares for which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such excess ISOs shall be treated as
Nonqualified Stock Options. 


  

	 	(3)	 Disqualifying Dispositions. Each Participant awarded an ISO under the Plan shall
notify the Company in writing immediately after the date he or she makes a “disqualifying disposition” of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such ISO. A “disqualifying disposition” is any disposition
(including any sale) of such Common Shares before the later of (i) two years after the date of grant of the ISO and (ii) one year after the date the Participant acquired the Common Shares by exercising the ISO. The Company may, if
determined by the Committee and in accordance with procedures established by it, retain possession of any Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO as agent for the applicable Participant until the end of the period described in the
preceding sentence, subject to complying with any instructions from such Participant as to the sale of such shares. 















	 	(iv)	 No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents. No Option will be eligible for the payment of dividends or
dividend equivalents. 


  

	 	(v)	 Subject to applicable laws and Company policies, the Committee may provide in any applicable Award Agreement
that, if, as of the last day of the Original Term of the Option, (i) the Market Price of the Common Shares subject to the Option exceeds the aggregate exercise price of the Option and (ii) the Participant has not previously exercised such
Option, then the Option shall be deemed to have been automatically exercised by the Participant on such date (the “Automatic Exercise Date”), which such automatic exercise shall be made on a “net exercise” basis (pursuant
to such terms and procedures as determined by the Committee) to cover the applicable exercise price applicable to such Option and any applicable tax withholding obligations; provided that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this
Section 7(a)(v) shall not apply to any Option held by a Participant who has incurred a Termination of Service on or before the Automatic Exercise Date. 


  

	 	(b)	 Share Appreciation Rights. A SAR represents the right to receive a payment in cash, Common
Shares, or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the product of (1) the excess of the Market Price per Common Share on the date the SAR is exercised over the exercise price per Common Share of such SAR (which exercise price shall be no
less than 100% of the Market Price of the Common Shares subject to the SAR as of the date the SAR was granted, except in the case of Substitute Awards and Converted Awards) and (2) the number of Common Shares subject to the portion of the SAR
being exercised. If a SAR is paid in Common Shares, the number of Common Shares to be delivered will equal the amount determined to be payable in accordance with the prior sentence divided by the Market Price of a Common Share at the time of
payment. The Committee shall establish the Original Term of a SAR, which shall not exceed a maximum of ten years. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(b), except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and subject to
compliance with Section 409A of the Code (including Section 1.409A-1(v)(C)(1) of the Treasury Regulations) if the Original Term of a SAR held by the Participant expires during a Blackout Period, the
term of such SAR shall be extended until the tenth Business Day following the end of the Blackout Period, at which time any unexercised portion of the SAR shall expire; provided, however, that in no event shall such extension pursuant to this
provision result in the term of such SAR being extended beyond the latest date which would not result in an extension within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(v)(C)(1) of the Treasury Regulations. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 7(b), SARs shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. A SAR may only be granted to an Eligible Recipient to
whom an Option could be granted under the Plan. No SAR will be eligible for the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents. 


  

	 	(c)	 Share Units. A Share Unit is an Award that represents the right to receive a Common Share or a
cash payment equal to the Market Price of a Common Share. Subject to the terms of the Plan, Share Units shall be subject to such terms and conditions (including, without limitation, service-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions,
including Performance Criteria), restrictions and limitations as the Committee may determine to be applicable to such Share Units, in its sole discretion, from time to time and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. 















	 	(i)	 Share Units Subject to Performance Criteria. If the Share Unit is subject to
performance-based vesting conditions, (1) the Performance Criteria to be achieved during any Performance Period, the applicable range for the Performance Multiplier, the amount of any payment to be made pursuant to any such Award, the length of
any Performance Period and the number of Share Units granted will be determined by the Committee; and (2) the Award Agreement will specify the Performance Multiplier applicable to the Performance Criteria. 



 

	 	(ii)	 Delivery of Common Shares or Cash Upon Settlement. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
relating to vesting (including the achievement or satisfaction of any Performance Criteria), the Committee will determine the number of Share Units that will vest, which, to the extent applicable, will be based on the Performance Multiplier (if
any). Settlement of any such Award of Share Units shall be made in Common Shares, cash or a combination of Common Shares and cash, as determined in the discretion of the Committee. 



 

	 	(iii)	 Blackout Period. In the event that any Share Unit is scheduled by its terms to be settled
in Common Shares (the “Original Distribution Date”) during a Blackout Period, then, if the Participant is restricted from selling Common Shares during the Blackout Period, the Committee in its discretion, may determine that such
Common Shares subject to the Share Unit shall not be delivered on such Original Distribution Date and shall instead be delivered as soon as practicable following the expiration of the Blackout Period; provided, however, that in no event shall
the delivery of the Common Shares be delayed pursuant to this provision beyond the latest date on which such delivery could be made without violating Section 409A of the Code. 



 

	 	(iv)	 Dividend Equivalents. Share Units may be credited with dividend equivalents, subject to and in
accordance with Section 8 of the Plan. (d) Share Awards. 


  

	 	(i)	 Form of Awards. The Committee may grant Awards that are payable in Common Shares or
denominated in units equivalent in value to Common Shares or are otherwise based on or related to Common Shares (“Share Awards”), including, but not limited to, Share Payments, Restricted Shares, and Deferred Shares. Share Awards
shall be subject to such terms, conditions (including, without limitation, service-based and performance-based vesting conditions, including Performance Criteria), restrictions and limitations as the Committee may determine to be applicable to such
Share Awards, in its sole discretion, from time to time; provided however, that such Share Awards will be subject to any required TSX approval (to the extent applicable at such time). 



 

	 	(ii)	 Share Payment. If not prohibited by applicable law, the Committee may issue unrestricted
Common Shares in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time in its sole discretion determine. A Share Payment may (but need not) be granted as, or in payment of, a bonus, or to provide incentives
or recognize special achievements or contributions. 















	 	(iii)	 Restricted Shares. Restricted Shares shall be subject to the terms, conditions,
restrictions, and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. The number of Restricted Shares allocable to an Award under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.



  

	 	(iv)	 Deferred Shares. Subject to Section 409A of the Code (to the extent applicable),
Deferred Shares shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. A Participant who receives an Award of Deferred Shares shall be entitled to receive the
number of Common Shares allocable to his or her Award, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, from time to time, at the end of a specified deferral period determined by the Committee. Awards of Deferred Shares represent only an
unfunded, unsecured promise to deliver shares in the future and shall not give Participants any greater rights than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. 



 

	 	(e)	 Cash Awards. The Committee may grant Awards that are payable to Participants solely in
cash, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7(e), such Cash Awards shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions, and limitations determined by the
Committee, in its sole discretion, from time to time. Awards granted pursuant to this Section 7(e) may be granted with value and payment contingent upon the achievement of Performance Criteria. Payments earned hereunder may be decreased or
increased in the sole discretion of the Committee based on such factors as it deems appropriate. 


  

	 	(f)	 Converted Awards. Converted Awards shall be granted under the Plan in accordance
with the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement, and may be granted under the Plan in the form of any other Award, as determined in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the terms and
conditions of the Plan will apply to Converted Awards only to the extent that such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement and the terms of the applicable Converted Awards assumed by the Company in
accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement. 


  

	 	(g)	 Unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, the Committee determines otherwise or as otherwise
provided by the Employee Matters Agreement with respect to any applicable Converted Awards, (i) vesting with respect to an Award will cease upon a Termination of Service, and unvested Awards shall be forfeited upon such termination and
(ii) in the case of a Termination of Service for Cause, vested Awards shall also be forfeited. 


  

	8.	 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents 



The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that Share Units and/or Share Awards shall earn dividends or dividend equivalents, as
applicable. Such dividends or dividend equivalents shall be in the same amount as the dividend the Participant would have received had the Common Shares underlying the Share Unit or Share Awards been distributed to the Participant as of immediately
prior to the record date of such dividend. Such dividends or dividend equivalents may be credited to an account maintained on the books of the Company. Any payment or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents will be subject to such terms,
conditions, restrictions and limitations as the Committee may establish, from time to time, in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, reinvestment in additional Common Shares or 












 
common share equivalents; provided, however, if the payment or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents is in respect of a Share Unit or Share Award that is subject to Section 409A of
the Code, then the payment or crediting of such dividends or dividend equivalents shall conform to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and such requirements shall be specified in writing; and provided further, the payment or crediting
of dividends or dividend equivalents shall be subject to the applicable regulations of the TSX (to the extent applicable at such time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends or dividend equivalents (i) shall have the same vesting dates and
shall be paid in accordance with the same terms as the Award to which they relate and (ii) with respect to any Award subject to the achievement of Performance Criteria, shall not be paid unless and until the relevant Performance Criteria have
been satisfied, and then only to the extent determined by the Committee, as specified in the Award Agreement. 
  

	9.	 Nontransferability  



Except as may be permitted by the Committee or as specifically provided in an Award Agreement, Awards granted under the Plan, and during any
period of restriction on transferability, Common Shares issued in connection with the exercise of an Option or a SAR, may not be sold, pledged, hypothecated, assigned, margined or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution, unless and until the shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed or have been waived by the Committee. No Award or interest or right therein shall be subject to
the debts, contracts or engagements of a Participant or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be
voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law, by judgment, lien, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy and divorce), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void, of no
effect, and not binding on the Company in any way. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit (on such terms, conditions and limitations as it may establish) Nonqualified Stock Options and/or shares issued in
connection with an Option or a SAR exercise that are subject to restrictions on transferability, to be transferred to a member of a Participant’s immediate family or to a trust or similar vehicle for the benefit of a Participant’s
immediate family members. During the lifetime of a Participant, all rights with respect to Awards shall be exercisable only by such Participant or, if applicable pursuant to the preceding sentence, a permitted transferee. 

10. Effect of a Termination of Service 
  

	 	(a)	 The Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any applicable Award Agreement, or may determine in any
individual case, the circumstances in which, and the extent to which, an Award may be exercised, settled, vested, paid or forfeited in the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service. 



 

	 	(b)	 Subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may determine, in its discretion, whether, and the
extent to which, (i) an Award will vest during a leave of absence, (ii) a reduction in service level (for example, from full-time to part-time employment) will cause a reduction, or other change, to an Award and (iii) a leave of
absence or reduction in service will be deemed a Termination of Service. 















	11.	 Change of Control 



 

	 	(a)	 Unless otherwise determined in an Award Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, take any one or more of the following actions with respect to any outstanding Award, which need not be uniform with respect to all Participants and/or Awards:



  

	 	(i)	 continuation or assumption of such Award by the Company (if it is the surviving corporation) or by the
successor or surviving entity or its parent; 


  

	 	(ii)	 substitution or replacement of such Award by the successor or surviving entity or its parent with cash,
securities, rights or other property to be paid or issued, as the case may be, by the successor or surviving entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), with substantially the same terms and value as such Award (including any applicable performance
targets or criteria with respect thereto); 


  

	 	(iii)	 acceleration of the vesting and the lapse of any restrictions thereon, and in the case of any Option or SAR
Award, acceleration of the right to exercise such Award during a specified period, in each case: 


  

	 	(A)	 with respect to each outstanding Award that is assumed or substituted in connection with a Change of Control,
in the event of a Participant’s Termination of Service (including upon a termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company (or a successor or acquiring corporation or its parent) without Cause or by the Participant for Good
Reason, in each case during the 12-month period (or such other period determined by the Committee and specified in the applicable Award Agreement) immediately following such Change of Control, (x) such
Award shall become fully vested and exercisable, (y) the restrictions, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any such Award granted shall lapse, and (z) any performance conditions (including any Performance Criteria)
imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at target performance levels (or at such other level as determined by the Committee in its discretion or specified in the applicable Award Agreement or the definitive transaction
documentation in connection with such Change of Control). 


  

	 	(B)	 With respect to each outstanding Award that is not assumed or substituted in connection with a Change of
Control immediately upon the occurrence of the Change of Control, (x) such Award (including both time-based and performance-based Awards) shall become fully vested and exercisable based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days between the grant date and the date of the Change of Control and the denominator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on the grant date of the Award and ending on the date of vesting of the Award (or such other period as
determined by the Committee in its discretion or as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), (y) the restrictions, payment conditions, and forfeiture conditions applicable to any such Award granted shall lapse, and (z) any
performance conditions (including any Performance Criteria) imposed with respect to Awards shall be deemed to be achieved at target performance levels (or at such other level as determined by the Committee in its discretion or specified in the
applicable Award Agreement or the definitive transaction documentation in connection with such Change of Control) (for the avoidance of doubt, prorated (to the extent applicable) in accordance with clause (B)). 















	 	(C)	 For purposes of this Section 11(a)(iii), an Award shall be considered assumed or substituted for if,
following the Change of Control, the Award remains subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the Award immediately prior to the Change of Control, except that, if the Award related to Common Shares, the Award instead confers
the right to receive common equity of the surviving or acquiring entity (or its parent). 


  

	 	(iv)	 in the case of an Award subject to performance-vesting conditions (including Performance Criteria),
determination of the level of attainment of the applicable performance-vesting condition(s); and 


  

	 	(v)	 cancellation of such Award in consideration of a payment, with the form, amount and timing of such payment
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, subject to the following: (A) such payment shall be made in cash or, subject to any required TSX approval (to the extent applicable at such time), securities, rights and/or other property;
(B) the amount of such payment shall equal the value of such Award, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (which may be determined by reference to the consideration paid per Common Share in the Change of Control); provided
that, in the case of an Option or SAR Award, if such value equals the Intrinsic Value of such Award, such value shall be deemed to be valid; provided further that, if the Intrinsic Value of an Option or SAR Award is equal to or less than
zero, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the cancellation of such Award without payment of any consideration therefor (for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may, in its sole discretion,
terminate any Option or SAR Awards for which the exercise price is equal to or exceeds the per Common Share value of the consideration to be paid in the Change of Control transaction without payment of consideration therefor); and (C) such
payment shall be made promptly following such Change of Control or on a specified date or dates following such Change of Control; provided that the timing of such payment shall comply with Section 409A of the Code. 



 

	 	(b)	 For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur if and when the
first of the following occurs: 


  

	 	(i)	 the acquisition (other than from the Company), by any person (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) or
14(d) of the Exchange Act, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d) thereof) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty percent
(50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; 


  

	 	(ii)	 the individuals who, as of the date hereof, are members of the Board (the “Incumbent Board”),
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, unless the election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, and
such new director shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; 















	 	(iii)	 the closing of an amalgamation or similar business combination (each, an “Amalgamation”)
involving the Company if (i) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Amalgamation, do not, as a result of such Amalgamation, own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such Amalgamation (or, if the entity resulting from such Amalgamation is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof) in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the
combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately before such Amalgamation or (ii) immediately following the Amalgamation, the individuals who comprised the Board immediately prior thereto do not constitute
at least a majority of the board of directors of the entity resulting from such Amalgamation (or, if the entity resulting from such Amalgamation is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof); 



 

	 	(iv)	 a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the consummation of the sale or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. 


  

	 	(c)	 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because fifty percent
(50%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or (ii) any corporation which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership of shares in the Company immediately prior to such
acquisition. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, solely to the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred only if a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a
change in ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company shall also be deemed to have occurred under Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 



 

	12.	 Clawback 



The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that a Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be
subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include a Termination of Service,
violation of material policies, breach of non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants, or requirements to comply with minimum share
ownership requirements, that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (or, in the case of Converted Awards held by the BHC
Participants, the Parent Group (as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement)). The Committee shall have full authority to implement any policies and procedures necessary to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated
thereunder and any other regulatory regimes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Awards granted under the Plan (including any amounts or benefits arising from such Awards) shall be subject to any clawback or recoupment
arrangements or policies the Company (or, in the case of Converted Awards held by BHC Participants, BHC) has in place from time to time, and the Committee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and stock exchange rules or by any applicable
Company policy or arrangement, and shall, to the extent required, cancel or require reimbursement of any Awards granted to the Participant or any Common Shares issued or cash received upon vesting, exercise or settlement of any such Awards or sale
of Common Shares underlying such Awards. 













	13.	 Award Agreements 



Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement (as such may be amended from time to time) that sets forth the terms,
conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to the Award, including, but not limited to, the provisions governing vesting, exercisability, payment, forfeiture, and Termination of Service, all or some of which may be incorporated by reference
into one or more other documents delivered or otherwise made available to a Participant in connection with an Award. 
  

	14.	 Tax Withholding 



Participants shall be solely responsible for any applicable taxes (including, without limitation, income, payroll and excise taxes) and
penalties, and any interest that accrues thereon, which they incur in connection with the receipt, vesting or exercise of an Award. The Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall have the right to require payment of, or may deduct from any
payment made under the Plan or otherwise to a Participant, or may permit shares to be tendered or sold, including Common Shares delivered or vested in connection with an Award, in an amount sufficient to cover withholding of any federal, state,
provincial, territorial, local, foreign or other governmental taxes or charges required by law or such greater amount of withholding as the Committee shall determine from time to time and to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy any
such withholding obligations. It shall be a condition to the obligation of the Company to issue Common Shares upon the exercise of an Option, or SAR, or upon settlement of a Share Award, that the Participant pay to the Company, on demand, such
amount as may be requested by the Company for the purpose of satisfying any tax withholding liability. If the amount is not paid, the Company may refuse to issue shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, satisfaction of tax
withholding obligations in respect of Converted Awards held by BHC Participants shall be subject to the terms set forth in the Employee Matters Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 8.06 thereof). 

 

	15.	 Other Benefit and Compensation Programs 



Awards received by Participants under the Plan shall not be deemed a part of a Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes
of calculating payments or benefits from any Company benefit plan or severance program unless specifically provided for under the plan or program. Unless specifically set forth in an Award Agreement, Awards under the Plan are not intended as payment
for compensation that otherwise would have been delivered in cash, and even if so intended, such Awards shall be subject to such vesting requirements and other terms, conditions and restrictions as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 

 

	16.	 Unfunded Plan 



The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Plan shall not establish any
fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other Person. To the extent any Participant holds any rights by virtue of an Award granted under the Plan, such rights shall constitute general unsecured liabilities of the Company
and shall not confer upon any Participant or any other Person any right, title, or interest in any assets of the Company. 













	17.	 Rights as a Shareholder 



Unless the Committee determines otherwise, a Participant shall not have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Common Shares covered by an
Award until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record with respect to such Common Shares. No adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date, except as provided in Section 8.

  

	18.	 Future Rights 



No Eligible Recipient shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan. There shall be no obligation of uniformity of
treatment of Eligible Recipients under the Plan. Further, the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may adopt other compensation programs, plans or arrangements as deemed appropriate or necessary. The adoption of the Plan, or grant of an
Award, shall not confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service in any particular position or at any particular rate of compensation, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary or
Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of Eligible Recipients at any time, free from any claim or liability under the Plan. 
  

	19.	 Amendment and Termination  



 

	 	(a)	 The Plan and any Award may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time by the Board, provided that no
amendment shall be made without shareholder approval if such shareholder approval is required in order to comply with applicable law or the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other securities
exchange on which the Common Shares are traded or quoted. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11(a), no termination, suspension or amendment of the Plan or any Award shall materially adversely affect the right of any Participant with
respect to any Award theretofore granted, as determined by the Committee, without such Participant’s written consent. 


  

	 	(b)	 Notwithstanding Section 19(a), the Company shall obtain shareholder approval for: (i) except as
provided in Section 6(e), a reduction in the exercise price or purchase price of an Award (or the cancellation and re-grant of an Award resulting in a lower exercise price or purchase price); (ii) the
extension of the Original Term of an Option; (iii) any amendment to the ISO limits described in Section 6(d); (iv) any amendment to remove or to exceed the participation limits described in Section 6(g), including but not limited to
those applicable to Insiders; (v) an increase to the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Plan pursuant to Section 6(a) (other than adjustments in accordance with Section 6(e)); (vi) amendments to this Section 19
other than amendments of a clerical nature; and (vii) any amendment that permits Awards to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate settlement purposes or for other purposes not involving the receipt of monetary consideration.
















	20.	 Option and SAR Repricing 



Except as provided in Section 6(e) and without limiting Section 19(b)(i), the Committee may not, without shareholder approval, seek
to effect any re-pricing of any previously granted “underwater” Option or SAR by: (i) amending or modifying the terms of the Option or SAR to lower the exercise price; (ii) cancelling the
underwater Option or SAR and granting either (A) replacement Options or SARs having a lower exercise price or (B) Restricted Shares, Share Units, or Other Share Awards in exchange; or (iii) cancelling or repurchasing the underwater
Options or SARs for cash or other securities. An Option or SAR will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the Market Value of the Common Shares covered by such Award is less than the exercise price of the Award. 

 

	21.	 Successors and Assigns 



The Plan and any applicable Award Agreement shall be binding on all successors and assigns of a Participant, including, without limitation, the
estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors. 

22. Severability 
 If any provision
of the Plan or any Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Participant or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee,
such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award Agreement,
such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Participant or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

 

	23.	 Governing Law 



The Plan and all agreements entered into under the Plan shall be governed, construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the
Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein. 
  

	24.	 Interpretation 



The Plan is designed and intended, to the extent applicable, to provide for grants and other transactions which are exempt under Rule 16b-3, and all provisions hereof shall be construed in a manner to so comply. Awards under the Plan are also intended to be exempt from, or otherwise comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject
thereto, and the Plan and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other
guidance that may be issued after the effective date of the Plan. If any provision of the Plan or any term or condition of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with this intent, the provision, term or condition shall be interpreted and
deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Plan that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and becomes
payable by reason of a Participant’s Termination of Service with the Company shall be made to such Participant until such Participant’s Termination of Service constitutes a Separation from Service. For purposes of this Plan and any Award
granted 












 
hereunder, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. If a participant is a Specified
Employee, then to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of taxes under Section 409A of the Code, such Participant shall not be entitled to any payments upon a termination of his or her employment or service until the earlier of:
(i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service or (ii) the date of such Participant’s death. Upon the expiration of the applicable waiting period set forth in
the preceding sentence, all payments and benefits deferred pursuant to this Section 24 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such deferral) shall be paid to such Participant in
a lump sum as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) calendar days, following such expired period, and any remaining payments due under this Plan will be paid in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them
herein or the terms of the applicable Award. If an Award includes a “series of installment payments” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations), a
Participant’s right to such series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and if an Award includes “dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), a Participant’s right to such dividend equivalents shall be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any Affiliate be liable to a Participant on account of an Award’s failure to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax
treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without limitation, Section 409A, 4999 or 457A of the Code. 
 25. Data Protection 

In connection with the Plan, the Company or its Affiliates, as applicable, may need to process personal data (as such term, “personal
information,” “personally identifiable information,” or any other term of comparable intent, is defined under applicable laws or regulations, in each case to the extent applicable) provided by the Participant to, or otherwise obtained
by, the Company or its Affiliates, their respective third party service providers or others acting on the Company’s or its Affiliates’ behalf. Examples of such personal data may include, without limitation, the Participant’s name,
account information, social security number, tax number and contact information. The Company or its Affiliates may process such personal data for the performance of the contract with the Participant in connection with the Plan and in its legitimate
business interests for all purposes relating to the operation and performance of the Plan, including but not limited to: 
  

	 	(a)	 administering and maintaining Participant records; 



 

	 	(b)	 providing the services described in the Plan; 



 

	 	(c)	 providing information to future purchasers or merger partners of the Company or any Affiliate, or the business
in which such Participant works; and 


  

	 	(d)	 responding to public authorities, court orders and legal investigations and complying with law, as applicable.















 The Company or its Affiliates may share the Participant’s personal data with (i) Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, (ii) trustees of any employee benefit trust, (iii) registrars, (iv) brokers, (v) third party administrators of the Plan, (vi) third party service providers acting on the Company’s or its Affiliates’ behalf
to provide the services described above, (vii) future purchasers or merger partners (as described above) or (viii) regulators and others, as required by law or in order to provide the services described in the Plan. 

If necessary, the Company or its Affiliates may transfer the Participant’s personal data to any of the parties mentioned above in a country or territory
that may not provide the same protection for the information as the Participant’s home country. Any transfer of the Participant’s personal data to recipients in a third country will be made subject to appropriate safeguards or applicable
derogations provided for, and to the extent required, under applicable law. Further information on those safeguards or derogations can be obtained through, and other questions regarding this Section 25 may be directed to, the contact set
forth in the applicable employee privacy notice or other privacy policy that previously has been made available by the Company or its applicable Affiliate to the Participant (as applicable, and as updated from time to time by the Company or its
applicable Affiliate upon notice to the Participant, the “Employee Privacy Notice”). The terms set forth in this Section 25 are supplementary to the terms set forth in the Employee Privacy Notice (which, among other things,
further describes the Company’s and its Affiliates’ processing activities, and the rights of the Participant, with respect to the Participant’s personal data); provided that, in the event of any conflict between the terms of
this Section 25 and the terms of the Employee Privacy Notice, the terms of this Section 25 shall govern and control in relation to the processing of such personal data in connection with the Plan. 

The Company and its Affiliates will keep personal data collected in connection with the Plan for as long as necessary to operate the Plan or as necessary to
comply with any legal or regulatory requirements and in accordance with the Company’s and its Affiliates’ backup and archival policies and procedures. 

Certain Participants may have a right, as further described in the Employee Privacy Notice, to (i) request access to and rectification or erasure of the
personal data provided, (ii) request the restriction of the processing of his or her personal data, (iii) object to the processing of his or her personal data, (iv) receive the personal data provided to the Company or its Affiliates
and transmit such data to another party, and (v) to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
