hereby accepts the trust constituted by this Trust Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Trust”) and agrees to hold, invest and administer the Trust Fund for such purposes subject to the terms and conditions of the Trust
Agreement. The Trustee hereby acknowledges that it is the custodian of the Plan as that term is defined in the definition of retirement compensation arrangement in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada). 

2.02 Initial Letter of Credit - As soon as practicable, and in any event not later than fourteen (14) days, after the execution and
delivery of this Trust Agreement, the Company shall: 
  

	 	(a)	make a Contribution (other than a Cash Contribution) to the Trustee in an amount sufficient to obtain, and shall arrange with the issuing bank for the issuance of, the
initial Letter of Credit with a face value equal to the Security Amount as of August 1, 2011 (being CDN $2,833,800); and

	 	(i)	arrange with the issuing bank to enable the Trustee to obtain, on or before the Renewal Date, a Letter of Credit or the renewal, extension or replacement of the then

Contribution necessary to facilitate the Trustee obtaining the issuance of such replacement Letter of Credit or the renewal or extension of the existing Letter of Credit shall be made by the Company within fourteen (14) days after receipt of
the relevant invoice by the Company from the Trustee; or 

  

	 	(ii)	provide a Notice to the Trustee of its intention to make, and shall make, on or before the Renewal Date, a lump sum cash contribution to the Trust Fund in an amount

	 	(i)	make, on or before the Anniversary Date, a Contribution equal to the then currently required Security Amount; or 


 

	 	(ii)	arrange with the issuing bank to enable the Trustee to obtain, on or before the Anniversary Date, a Letter of Credit with a face value equal to then currently required
Security Amount, provided that any Contribution necessary to facilitate the Trustee obtaining the issuance of Letter of Credit shall be made by the Company within fourteen (14) days after receipt of the relevant invoice by the Company from the
Trustee.

Dispute results in an increased Security Amount, and the face value of the then current Letter of Credit and the amount of any Participant Assets then held in the Trust Fund are less than the increased Security Amount, the Company shall forthwith
supplement the Trust Fund to cover the deficiency (the “Dispute Top-Up Amount”) by: 

  

	 	(i)	making a Cash Contribution, in an amount equal to the Dispute Top-Up Amount and any taxes, fees, expenses or other obligations due to any other person; or

	 	(d)	Where the Security Amount is entitled to be and is the subject of a Dispute pursuant to section 3 of the Actuarial Assumptions and Process and the resolution of such
Dispute results in a decreased Security Amount, and the face value of the then current Letter of Credit and the amount of any Participant Assets then held in the Trust Fund are greater than the decreased Security Amount, the then current Letter of
Credit shall be amended forthwith to adjust its face value to reflect the decreased Security Amount. 

 2.04 Realization on
Letter of Credit 
  

	 	(a)	Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than a first occurrence of a Failure to Pay Fees), the Trustee shall forthwith demand payment in full under each
Letter of Credit unless, in the case of a Failure to Pay Benefits or a Breach and prior to such demand being made by the Trustee, the Company has provided Notice to the Trustee that the Company disputes the Participant’s claim (a
“Dispute”). 

  

	 	(b)	Unless a Dispute initiated by the Company under section 2.04(a) is resolved within forty five (45) days of the Company’s Notice to the Trustee of the Dispute,
the Company shall refer the Dispute to a single arbitrator who is experienced in the resolution of commercial disputes and who shall be required, by the terms of his or her engagement, to render his or her decision within thirty (30) days of
the arbitrator concluding the hearing of such Dispute. The Company shall do so by written notice to the Participant naming a nominee arbitrator who, if not agreeable to both parties, shall be selected by and upon application of either party to a
court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on both the Participant and the Company and there shall be no right to appeal or review therefrom. 


The parties are to notify the Trustee of the appointment of an arbitrator. If the Trustee does not receive such Notice to the Trustee
within ninety (90) days of the Notice to the Trustee advising of the Dispute, then the Dispute shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. 
  

	 	(c)	In the event that, following a Dispute initiated by the Company under section 2.04(a) which has not been withdrawn or deemed to have been withdrawn pursuant to section
2.04(b), the Trustee receives a Notice to the Trustee: 

  

	 	(i)	from the Participant or the Company of the resolution of the Dispute in favour of the Participant, in whole or in part, and a copy of the arbitration decision or
settlement agreement, as applicable, evidencing such resolution; and 


  
 - 12 -










	 	(ii)	from the Participant certifying that the Company has failed to make all or any portion of a payment or take any remedial action required by such resolution for a period
of ten (10) days following such resolution; 

 the Trustee shall forthwith demand full payment under the
Letter of Credit as if such failure to make payment or take any remedial action was itself an Event of Default. 
  

	 	(d)	In the event that, following a Dispute initiated by the Company under section 2.04(a) which has not been withdrawn or deemed to have been withdrawn pursuant to section
2.04(b), the Trustee receives Notice to the Trustee of the resolution of the Dispute in favour of the Company stating there is no Event of Default as alleged together with a copy of the arbitration decision or settlement agreement, as applicable,
evidencing such resolution, then there shall be no such Event of Default as alleged in such Dispute and the Trustee shall not demand payment under the Letter of Credit. 


 

	 	(e)	For greater certainty, the fact that a Dispute has been raised, but has not yet been resolved or withdrawn in accordance with the above, will not preclude the Trustee
from demanding payment under any Letter of Credit should another Event of Default occur during this period, nor shall the existence of a Dispute relieve the Company of, or delay, its obligations otherwise under this Agreement including, without
limitation, to replace, renew, supplement or amend a then existing Letter of Credit before the Expiry Date or to cause the Actuary to prepare and deliver an Actuarial Report when otherwise required under this Agreement. 


 

	 	(f)	In the event that a first Failure to Pay Fees has occurred, and to the extent that the Trust Fund does not contain sufficient assets such that the Trustee shall have on
hand an amount to equal the compensation, disbursements and expenses owing, the Trustee may forthwith demand payment under a Letter of Credit in an amount sufficient to cover the difference. 


2.05 Fiscal Year End of the Trust Fund - The fiscal year of the Trust Fund shall end on the 31st day of December in each year. 

2.06 Payments out of the Trust Fund before Termination of the Trust 

 

	 	(a)	The Trustee shall pay to the bank which has agreed to issue the initial Letter of Credit or any replacement, renewal, extension thereof, or any supplemental Letter of
Credit on or before the date such payment is due, the portion of the Contribution made by the Company as fees for issuing and maintaining the Letter of Credit. 


  
 - 13 -










	 	(b)	The Trustee shall from time to time make payments out of the Trust Fund to such persons (including the Company or the Participant) in such manner and in such amounts as
are stipulated in the written directions of the Company and the accompanying written consent of the Participant (which consent is not to be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed to be granted for any payment to the Participant).


  

	 	(c)	Upon any payment being made from the Trust Fund in accordance with this section 2.06, such amount shall no longer constitute a part of the Trust Fund. After all
payments required to be made to the Participant to satisfy the Participant Liabilities have been made and no amount is due to any relevant taxation authority related thereto or to the Trustee, then the Trustee, upon receipt of the Company’s
written direction certifying that such direction is in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Trust Agreement accompanied by the Participant’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), shall pay the balance of the

 4.03 Distribution Period
Borrowing - In the event there is at any time insufficient assets in the Trust Fund to effect as and when due, any periodic or lump sum payment of benefits then payable to the Participant under the Plan or this Trust Agreement pending
receipt from the Canada Revenue Agency of the refundable tax applicable to the Plan, the Trustee may, forthwith, borrow funds on terms acceptable to the Trustee acting reasonably from a lender acceptable to the Trustee which may, for certainty,
include an affiliate of the Trustee up to the amount of such refundable tax in an amount or amounts sufficient to enable it to effect such payment, and the Company shall bear the cost of such borrowing. The Company shall, if requested, reasonably
co-operate with the Trustee to the extent required to effect any such borrowing and, in this regard the Company shall ensure the co-operation of its own bank. Following an Event of Default which has not been remedied, no further borrowing shall
occur.

	 	(a)	The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss as a result of the making, retention, or sale of any investment or reinvestment or loan made by it as herein provided nor
for any loss to or diminution of the Trust Fund except when such loss or diminution (including the failure to draw a Letter of Credit as required by this Agreement) is due to the Trustee’s wilful misconduct, material breach of this Agreement or
breach of the Standard of Care. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company shall indemnify and save harmless the Trustee on its own behalf and in trust for the Trust Fund and the officers, directors and employees of the Trustee
against any loss resulting from a claim asserted by any person or persons where the Trustee has acted on the direction of the Company, or has not acted in the absence of any direction of the Company where such direction was required.


 The indemnification set out in this section 4.04 shall survive the termination of this Trust Agreement and the
Trust Fund. 
 4.05 Counsel, Auditors, Advisors and Agents - The Trustee may employ such counsel (who may not be counsel to the
Company or the Participant in respect of this Trust Agreement), auditors, advisors, agents or other persons as the Trustee may reasonably require for the purpose of discharging its duties hereunder and, provided the Trustee adheres to the Standard
of Care in the selection and employment of such persons, shall be protected in acting in good faith on the opinion or advice of or information obtained from any counsel, auditors, advisors, agents or other persons retained or employed by the
Trustee, in relation to any matter arising in the administration of the Trust.

Company as may from time to time be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Trustee and the Company prior to an Event of Default (other than a first occurrence of a Failure to Pay Fees), and, following an Event of Default (including a second or
subsequent occurrence of a Failure to Pay Fees), as may from time to time be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Trustee and the Participant. Such compensation and all other disbursements made and expenses incurred in the creation of the Trust
shall be paid out of, and shall constitute a charge against, the Trust Fund unless first paid by the Company. All compensation, disbursements and expenses incurred in the management and maintenance of the Trust Fund shall be paid out of, and shall
constitute a charge against, the Trust Fund unless paid by the Company within thirty (30) days of the date the Trustee sends an invoice or account. 
 4.07 Accounts and Records - The Trustee shall keep and maintain accurate and detailed accounts and records of all assets and transactions with respect to its administration of the Trust
Fund. The Company or the Participant, or any duly authorized representative of either of them, may at any time during usual business hours make an inspection and audit of the books and records of the Trustee relating to the Trust and an inspection
of the assets held in the Trust Fund. 
 Within ninety (90) days following the end of the fiscal year of the Trust Fund, or
following the last day of such other accounting period as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Trustee, and within ninety (90) days following the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to the Company and the
Participant a statement of account showing all assets, transactions, receipts and disbursements with respect to its administration of the Trust Fund during the accounting period. 

In the absence of specific written objections filed by the Company or by the Participant with the Trustee within one hundred and eighty
(180) days after the Company’s receipt of such statements of account, the same shall be deemed to have been approved; and in such case, or upon the written approval of the Company and the Participant of any such statements of account, the
Trustee shall be released, relieved and discharged with respect to its acts and transactions during the period covered by the statements; provided, however, that such release and discharge shall not apply to relieve the Trustee from liability for
any matter or thing which arises as a result of the Trustee’s wilful misconduct or breach of its Standard of Care. 
 The
Trustee may require the Company, the Participant, the Designated Beneficiary or any legal representative of such persons to submit to it any information, data, reports or documents reasonably relevant to and suitable for the purposes of
administering the Trust Fund. 
 4.08 Income Tax and Certain Other Obligations - The Trustee shall file, or cause to be filed, in
prescribed form and within prescribed time, such annual income tax returns and information returns on behalf of the Trust Fund as are required by the Income Tax Act (Canada) or other applicable federal or provincial legislation and shall
furnish the Participant and the Company with all requisite statements for income tax purposes. In connection with the Trustee’s obligations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) in particular, the Trustee shall calculate the refundable tax
of the Trust Fund at the end of each taxation year and shall remit to the Receiver 

  
 - 18 -









 
General out of the Trust Fund the amount of tax, if any, payable by it for the year or claim a refund of refundable tax owing to the Trust Fund, if applicable. The Trustee shall further perform
all required withholding and reporting under the Income Tax Act (Canada), or other applicable federal or provincial legislation, in respect of distributions under the Plan. 

The Company shall file, or cause to be filed, any and all returns and forms required to be filed by it with respect to the Plan by
applicable law. In addition, the Company shall establish its own remittance account with the Canada Revenue Agency. 
 The
Trustee shall mail to the Company and the Participant a copy of any notice of assessment or reassessment for the Trust Fund forthwith upon receipt thereof by the Trustee and may, in its discretion, provide any other material correspondence received
from the Canada Revenue Agency in connection with its administration of the Trust Fund. 
 4.09 Resignation and Removal of Trustee
- The Trustee may resign and be discharged from the future obligations of the Trust at any time by filing written notice with the Company and the Participant. 
 The Trustee may be removed and be discharged from the future obligations of the Trust at any time with or without cause either before or following an Event Default (other than a first occurrence of a
Failure to Pay Fees) by an instrument executed by the Company and the Participant and filed with the Trustee. 
 Such
resignation or removal, as the case may be, shall take effect ninety (90) days after the instrument of resignation or removal has been filed as provided herein, unless the party or parties with whom such instrument is filed waives such
requirement in writing. 
 4.10 Appointment of Successor Trustee - In case of the resignation or removal of the Trustee or in case
a vacancy shall arise for any reason in the trusteeship of the Trust Fund, a successor trustee, which shall be a duly licensed and qualified trust company, shall be appointed by an instrument executed by the Company or, following any Event of
Default (other than a first occurrence of a Failure to Pay Fees), by an instrument executed by the Company and the Participant (except to the extent prevented by applicable law in the event of an Insolvency of the Company). Acceptance of the
appointment shall be evidenced in writing delivered by such successor trustee to the Company and the Participant. 
 Any
successor trustee who accepts such appointment shall thereupon become the “Trustee” for all purposes of this Trust Agreement after such date and thereafter shall have the same powers and duties as those conferred upon the Trustee hereunder
and, upon acceptance of such appointment by the successor trustee, the Trustee shall assign, transfer and pay over to such successor trustee the funds and properties then constituting the Trust Fund, together with any and all records, books and
documents in the Trustee’s possession pertaining to the Trust Fund. Upon such transfer, the Trustee shall be discharged from any liability, obligations and responsibility under the Trust Fund or in connection with the Plan arising after the
date of transfer. 
 The Trustee is authorized, however, to reserve such compensation and other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with the administration of the Trust to the date of the resignation or removal of the Trustee and any balance of such reserve remaining after the payment of such compensation and expenses shall be paid over to the successor trustee.


  
 - 19 -









 In the event the Company or the Company and the Participant, as the case may be, should fail
to appoint a successor trustee within sixty (60) days of the resignation or removal of the Trustee then the Trustee, at the expense of the Trust Fund, shall have the right to seek appointment of a successor trustee from a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
 4.11 Conflict of Interest - The Trustee’s services to the Company are not exclusive and, subject to the
limitations otherwise provided in this Trust Agreement on the power and authorities of the Trustee, the Trustee may for any purpose, and is hereby expressly authorized from time to time in its discretion to, appoint, employ, invest in, contract or
deal with any individual, firm, partnership, association, trust or body corporate, including without limitation, itself and any partnership, trust or body corporate with which it may directly or indirectly be affiliated or in which it may be
directly or indirectly interested, whether on its own account or for the account of another (in a fiduciary capacity or otherwise), and to profit therefrom, without being liable to account therefor and without being in breach of this Trust
Agreement. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company hereby authorizes the Trustee to act hereunder
notwithstanding that the Trustee or any of its divisions, branches or affiliates may have a material interest in the transaction or that circumstances are such that the Trustee may have a potential conflict of duty or interest including the fact
that the Trustee or any of its affiliates may: 
  

	 	(a)	purchase, hold, sell, invest in or otherwise deal with securities or other property of the same class and nature as may be held in the Trust Fund, whether on its own
account or for the account of another (in a fiduciary capacity or otherwise); 

  

	 	(b)	act as a market maker in the securities that form part of the Trust Fund to which directions relate; 


 

	 	(c)	act as financial adviser to the issuer of such securities;

	 	(e)	act in the same transaction as agent for more than one client; 

  

	 	(f)	have a material interest in the issue of securities that form part of the Trust Fund;

confidence all information relating to the Trust Fund and may only release such information to others where required by applicable law, or for the purpose of administering the Trust Fund, or pursuant to a direction of the Company;


  

	 	(h)	invest the assets of the Trust Fund in the securities or other assets of any of its affiliates; and 


  
 - 20 -










	 	(i)	earn profits from any of the activities listed herein without being liable to account therefore and without being in breach of this Trust Agreement.


 4.12 Collection of Information and Documents - The Company acknowledges that the Trustee is and in the future may
be subject to legislation, including but not limited to anti-money laundering legislation and privacy legislation, that requires that the Trustee collect information or obtain undertakings, agreements, documents or the like from the Company or its
directors, officers and employees, and shall cooperate with the Trustee including delivery of information, agreements or documents or providing signatures or executing documents and to take all reasonable steps to cause its directors, officers and
employees to do same, all to the maximum extent required to ensure that the Trustee satisfied applicable legislative requirements. 
 The
Company and the Trustee will exchange information about their businesses, products and personal and/or financial information of the Participants (“Confidential Information”), but only such information as is required in order for the
parties to fulfill their duties under this Trust Agreement. The parties agree to use the Confidential Information solely for performing their duties under this Trust Agreement. The parties will hold the Confidential Information in confidence and
will not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party, provided, however, that the parties may disclose any such Confidential Information to their directors, officers, employees, agents, service providers, advisors, internal and external
auditors or regulatory authorities as well as those of their affiliates (collectively, “Representatives”) with a need to know such Confidential Information and who agree to be bound by these confidentiality obligations, or as
required or permitted by law. 
 The parties acknowledge that the Confidential Information may include personal information about identifiable
individuals. Both parties agree to act in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and applicable provincial private sector privacy legislation which has by Order been declared as
substantially similar to PIPEDA with respect to collection, use, disclosure, retention of and access to personal information. 
 The Trustee
will correct or amend any inaccuracy with any Confidential Information promptly after it is notified of the inaccuracy by the Company. If the Trustee otherwise becomes aware of any inaccuracy with any Confidential Information, the Trustee will
promptly advise the Company. 
 4.13 Standard of Care - In exercising its powers and performing its duties and obligations
hereunder, the Trustee shall act honestly and in good faith with the degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence that would be exercised by a professional trustee familiar with the custody and administration of the assets of a retirement
compensation agreement plan trust, acting in like capacity under circumstances then prevailing (the “Standard of Care”).

 SCHEDULE “C” 

Actuarial Assumptions and Process 
 Background and General Principles 
  

	 	1.	Interpretation 

 All capitalized terms
used in this Schedule “C” shall have the same meaning ascribed thereto in the Trust Agreement to which this Schedule “C” is annexed unless specifically defined in this Schedule “C” or the context otherwise requires.

  

	 	2.	Assumptions for Hypothetical Wind-up and Solvency Valuations 

 The Canadian Institute of Actuaries (“CIA”) educational note entitled “Assumptions for Hypothetical Wind-up and Solvency Valuations with Effective Dates Between December 31,
2009 and December 30, 2010” (the “CIA Guidance Note”) has been used as the basis for setting some of the actuarial assumptions to determine the Security Amount of the initial Letter of Credit and/or the Participant
Liabilities. The CIA Guidance Note is expected to be updated by the CIA on an annual basis. The subsequent valuation of the Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities shall incorporate future changes in discount rates for the agreed CANSIM
V39062 bond rate (or its replacement) published by the Bank of Canada (on its website or otherwise) and for updated mortality tables only, as provided in the updated CIA Guidance Note, but shall otherwise be determined using that actuarial
assumptions and process detailed in this Schedule “C”. In the event that, at any relevant date for the calculation of the Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities, an updated CIA Guidance Note has not been issued since the last
valuation of the Security Amount, the Actuary shall use the most recent discount rates and mortality tables relevant for the Participant together with the CANSIM V39062 (or replacement) series Government of Canada long-term bond rate and the margin
or premium (if any) in basis points referenced in this Schedule “C” in respect of the calculation of the Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision to the contrary herein, should an annuity market exist at the time of any Security Amount and/or Participant Liabilities calculation beginning with the
Security Amount calculation to be completed in February, 2012, that would enable the Company to obtain an annuity in respect of the full Participant Liabilities effective on or about the date such Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities
calculation is required, then the Actuary may, at the direction of the Company, obtain separate quotations from a minimum of two insurers licensed to carry on the annuity business in Canada (and being rated at least A by Standard &
Poor’s, or comparable) and thereupon the Participant Liabilities shall be the amount that is the average price quoted by such insurance companies and the Security Amount shall be the amount so determined for the Participant Liabilities plus a
contingency margin of five percent (5%) of the average price quoted (before contingency margin). 
 For greater certainty, where a Security
Amount has been determined by resort to the market in the manner aforesaid, the resulting Security Amount calculation shall apply for the year in 







 
question and the Company does not have the right of election in such year between the Security Amount so calculated and the amount that which would result applying the provisions of this Schedule
C. For any subsequent year, whether or not consecutive, a similar market quote process must be conducted at or about the relevant time of each subsequent Security Amount calculation and the remaining provisions of this Schedule C relating to the
calculation of a Security Amount shall only apply if such process fails to identify at least two qualifying market quotes as contemplated in this Paragraph 2. 
  

	 	3.	Dispute as to Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities 

 The Participant or the Company shall have up to fourteen (14) days following the delivery of an Actuarial Report or other written actuarial advice on the Participant Liabilities which is delivered as
contemplated by the Trust Agreement to provide written notice to the other parties to the Trust Agreement (i.e., the Company or the Participant, as applicable, and the Trustee) of a Dispute over the calculation of the Security Amount and/or the
Participant Liabilities and shall provide the Company (in the case of a Dispute commenced by the Participant) or the Participant (in the case of a Dispute commenced by the Company), as applicable, with sufficient details of its calculation of the
Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities (including, but not limited to the suggested Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities itself) in order to allow such non-disputing party and the Actuary to meaningfully consider same.

 In the event of a Dispute, the Participant and the Company shall resolve such Dispute in the same manner and under terms and conditions,
mutatis mutandis, as those applicable to the resolution of Disputes in sections 2.04(b) and 6.06 of the Trust Agreement. 

Specific Assumptions 
  

	 	1.	Raw Discount Rate for Immediate Annuity 


For the initial and all future Security Amount and/or Participant Liabilities calculations, the CANSIM series V39062 rate at the calculation date shall be
used, with a maximum twenty (20) basis points add-on. 
 This raw rate (the “Raw Discount Rate”) is prior to any
adjustment for the post retirement indexing provisions of the Plan or tax consequences. 
  

	 	2.	Mortality 

 For the initial calculation of
the Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities, post-retirement mortality will be based on the UP94@2020 (projected using Scale AA) table, sex distinct. 
 For subsequent Security Amount and/or Participant Liabilities calculations, the post-retirement mortality will be based on the updated mortality table and standards recommended in the updated CIA Guidance
Note and sex distinct. No pre-retirement mortality will be assumed. 

  
 - 2 -










	 	3.	Rounding 

 The Raw Discount Rate is to be
rounded to the nearest multiple of 5 basis points. 
  

	 	4.	Adjustment for Tax Consequences 

 The Raw
Discount Rate is to be halved to approximate the tax consequences to the Participant. 
  

	 	5.	Post Retirement Indexing 

 In order to
reflect the post-retirement indexing provision under the Plan, the post retirement discount rate is geometrically reduced by the amount of the otherwise expected indexing under the Plan (that is, the post retirement indexing is deducted from the
halved Raw Discount Rate). 
  

	 	6.	Contingency Margin 

 For the initial and
all future Security Amount calculations, the calculation of the Security Amount will include a contingency margin of five percent (5%) of the actuarial liability (before contingency margin) of the Participant Liabilities. For greater certainty,
no such contingency margin of five percent (5%) or other margin of the actuarial liability shall be applied in determining the Participant Liabilities at any time. 

 

	 	7.	Retirement Age 

 A retirement age of 60
will be assumed. 
  

	 	8.	Currency 

 All amounts are in Canadian
dollars. 
  

	 	9.	Inflation 

 For Security Amounts and/or
Participant Liabilities calculations, the assumed inflation rate will be determined by reference to be the difference between the CANSIM V39602 bond rate and an unadjusted real return long-term bond rate of CANSIM V39057 (the “Inflation
Differential”) subject to the following: 
  

	 	(a)	three percent (3%) per annum would continue to be used for the assumed inflation rate if the Inflation Differential calculated in respect of any such Security
Amount and/or Participant Liabilities calculation is between two percent (2%) and three percent (3%) per annum; 

  

	 	(b)	where the Inflation Differential calculated in respect of any such Security Amount and/or Participant Liabilities calculation is below two percent (2%) per annum,
the assumed inflation rate to be used in such Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities calculation will reduce “proportionately”, that is, if the Inflation Differential were 1.75% or 1.35%, for example, the inflation assumption
for discounting would be 2.75% and 2.35% respectively; 


  
 - 3 -










	 	(c)	where the Inflation Differential exceeds three percent (3%) per annum, the inflation rate to be used in any such Security Amount and/or the Participant Liabilities
calculation shall be equal to the Inflation Differential. 

  

	 	10.	Actuarial Cost Method 

 The Unit Credit
Cost Actuarial Method shall be the actuarial cost method used to calculate Participant Liabilities under the Plan. The Unit Credit Cost Actuarial Method is an actuarial cost method wherein the actuarial liability is the present value of the pension
benefit accrued from the date of entry into the Plan to the date of the valuation. This actuarial cost method shall be applied to the following employee data as at May 31, 2011: 

 

																					
	 Member
	  	Date of Birth	 	  	Spouse
Date of Birth	 	  	Continuous
Service1	 	  	Average
Earnings1	 	  	YMPE1	 
	 Davis
	  	 	12/27/1961	  	  	 	03/21/1962	  	  	 	9.71 years	  	  	 	662,300	  	  	 	44,900	  

  

	1 	 Earnings and service were frozen as at September 16, 2008. YMPE assumed to be frozen as at September 16, 2008. The SERP Agreement calls for
the use of calendar year periods in determining average earnings. However as only fiscal year data was available, we have used fiscal year periods to determine average earnings. 



Based on the above employee data, the accrued annual benefits payable to Davis under the Plan at age 60 are as follows:

	 	11.	Other Assumptions 

 Participant
Liabilities shall be determined based on the assumption that the Plan is terminated at such date of valuation and having regard, for greater certainty, to the value of any benefits previously paid to the Participant pursuant to the Plan.

	 	12.	Initial Letter of Credit Calculation as at August 1, 2011 

 The valuation date of the initial Letter of Credit shall be August 1, 2011. The following actuarial assumptions shall be used to evaluate the initial Letter of Credit: 

 

			
	Letter of Credit Valuation
	 Valuation Date
	  	August 1, 2011
	 Cansim V39062 rate at valuation date1
	  	3.07% per annum
	 Cansim V39057 rate at valuation date1
	  	0.72 % per annum
	 Discount rate
	  	
	 Davis (deferred annuity)
	  	3.25% per annum (raw rate)
2,3
	 Inflation (CPI)
	  	3.00% per annum4
	 Post Retirement Indexing5
	  	1.25% per annum
	 Earnings, YMPE and DB Limit
	  	Frozen at September 16, 2008
	 Retirement Age
	  	Age 60
	 Post retirement Mortality6
	  	UP94@2020 using Scale AA. Sex distinct
	 Pre retirement Mortality
	  	None
	 Spousal Assumption
	  	100% married, actual spouse date of birth used
	 Contingency Margin
	  	5% load applied to actuarial liability
	 Actuarial cost method
	  	Unit Credit. Based on benefits accrued at the valuation date.

  

	1 	 Cansim rates as of August 2, 2011 used as August 1, 2011 was a bank holiday. 



	2 	 Discount rate for Mr. Davis equals 3.07%, plus 0.20% add on, rounded to the nearest 0.05% 



	3 	 This raw rate is then halved to approximate the tax consequences 



	4 	 Since the “Inflation Differential” (as defined in Schedule C assumptions) is 3.07% - 0.72% = 2.35%, the assumed inflation rate is 3.00%




	5 	 The SERP provides for post retirement indexing equal to 75% of CPI, less 1 %, to a maximum of 4.0% per year 



	6 	 The current Guidance Note now calls for the use of generational mortality rather that the previous UP94 table projected to the year 2020. As Schedule C
specifies that the mortality table recommended in the Guidance Note be used, we have updated the mortality table to be based on the UP-94 table with generational projection. 


 Result as at August 1, 2011 
 Based on the above actuarial assumptions, the employee
data set out in Section 10 of this Schedule C, and the terms of the Plan, the Security Amount required for the initial Letter of Credit calculated at August 1, 2011 is as follows:
