PART 2



AWARDS UNDER THIS PLAN

Determination of Deferred Share Units

2.1                  At the sole election of the Company, exercised at the end of each Financial Quarter, Irons may receive all her Compensation due in that Financial Quarter in the form of Deferred Share Units.  Deferred Share Units issued pursuant to this Plan will be credited to an account maintained for Irons by the Company four times a year in October, January, April and July or as otherwise determined by the Company.  The number of Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share Units, computed to three digits) to be credited to Irons will be determined in accordance with Section 2.2.

Issue of Deferred Share Units

2.2                  The number of Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share Units, computed to three digits) to be credited to Irons for services as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company in a Financial Quarter will be determined by dividing Irons' Compensation earned in such Financial Quarter by the Fair Market Value calculated immediately following the last trading day of such Financial Quarter.

Dividend Equivalents

2.3                  On any date on which a cash dividend is paid on Shares, Irons' account will be credited with the number of Deferred Share Units (including fractional Deferred Share Units, computed to three digits) calculated by
(a)multiplying the amount of the dividend per Share by the aggregate number of Deferred Share Units that were credited to Irons' account as of the record date for payment of the dividend, and

(b)dividing the amount obtained in Section (a) by the Fair Market Value on the date on which the dividend is paid.



Irons' Account

2.4                  A written confirmation of the balance in Irons' account will be sent by the Company to her quarterly.

Adjustments and Reorganizations

2.5                  In the event of any dividend paid in shares, share subdivision, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off or other distribution of Company assets to shareholders, or any other change in the capital of the Company affecting Shares, the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, will make, with respect to the number of Deferred Share Units outstanding under this Plan, any proportionate adjustments as it considers appropriate to reflect that change.

PART 3



TERMINATION OF SERVICE

Termination of Service

3.1                  Upon Irons having Terminated Service she may elect to receive one Share in respect of each whole Deferred Share Unit credited to her account (determined in accordance with Section 3.2) or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Share on the Filing Date (as hereinafter defined) by filing with the Secretary of the Company a notice of redemption in the form prescribed from time to time by the Company on or before December 15 of the first calendar year commencing after the date on which Irons has Terminated Service.  If Irons fails to file such notice on or before that December 15, she will be deemed to have filed with the Secretary of the Company a notice of redemption on that December 15, and will be deemed to have elected to be paid cash.  The date on which a notice is filed or deemed to be filed with the Secretary of the Company is the "Filing Date".  The Company may defer the Filing Date to any other date if such deferral is, in the sole opinion of the Company, desirable to ensure compliance with Section 4.3.

Contents of Notice

3.2                  The notice filed by Irons will specify whether she desires to receive one Share for each whole Deferred Share Unit or cash equal to the Fair Market Value of each such Share as at the Filing Date (net of any Applicable Withholding Tax).  Such payment (whether in Shares or cash) will be made by the Company as soon as reasonably possible following the Filing Date.  In no event will payment be made later than December 31 of the first calendar year commencing after Irons has Terminated Service.  Fractional Shares may not be issued, and where Irons would be entitled to receive a fractional Share in respect of any fractional Deferred Share Unit, the Company will pay to her, in lieu of such fractional Share, cash equal to its Fair Market Value, calculated as at the Filing Date.

Death

3.3                  In the event of the death of Irons, the Company will, within two months of her death, pay cash equal to Fair Market Value of the Shares which would be deliverable to her if she had Terminated Service in respect of the Deferred Share Units credited to Irons' account (net of any Applicable Withholding Tax) to or for the benefit of her legal representative.  The Fair Market Value will be calculated on the date of Irons' death.

Applicable Withholding Tax

3.4                  The Company is authorized to deduct such taxes and other amounts as it may be required by law to withhold ("Applicable Withholding Tax"), in such manner as it determines, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by delivering less cash or fewer Shares than Irons otherwise would have received.  The Company may require Irons, as a condition of receiving amounts or Shares otherwise to be delivered to her under this Plan, to deliver undertakings to, or indemnities in favour of, the Company respecting the payment by her of applicable income or other taxes.

Plan Termination

4.6                  The Board may terminate this Plan at any time, but no termination will, without Irons' consent or unless required by law, adversely affect the rights of Irons with respect to Deferred Share Units to which he is then entitled under this Plan.  In no event will a termination of this Plan accelerate the time at which Irons would otherwise be entitled to receive any Shares or cash in respect of Deferred Share Units hereunder. In any event this Plan will terminate three years from the Effective Date.

Reorganization of the Company

4.8                  The existence of this Plan or Deferred Share Units will not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its business, or to create or issue any bonds, debentures, shares or other securities of the Company or to amend or modify the rights and conditions attaching thereto or to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Company or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.

No Shareholder Rights

4.9                  Deferred Share Units are not considered to be Shares or securities of the Company, and Irons will not, be entitled to exercise voting rights or any other rights attaching to the ownership of Shares of other securities of the Company, or be considered the owner of Shares by virtue of such crediting of Deferred Share Units.

No Other Benefit

4.10                No amount will be paid to Irons under this Plan to compensate for a downward fluctuation in the price of a Share, nor will any other form of benefit be conferred upon, or in respect of, Irons for such purpose.

Unfunded Plan

4.11                For greater certainty, this Plan will be an unfunded plan for tax purposes.  Irons in her capacity as a holder of Deferred Share Units or related accruals under this Plan will have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to any relevant rights thereunder.
