Notwithstanding Section 5.5, the Corporation and the Rights Agent are  authorized and agree to amend this Agreement in order to give effect to the foregoing. |

| 4.1 | General |
|-----|---------|

|   | (a) | The Corporation hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the Corporation and the holders of the Rights in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Corporation may from time to time appoint such co-Rights Agents ("Co-Rights Agents") as it may deem necessary or desirable, subject to the reasonable consent of the Rights Agent. In the event the Corporation appoints one or more Co-Rights Agents, the respective duties of the Rights Agent and Co-Rights Agents shall be as the Corporation may determine, subject to the reasonable consent of the Rights Agent and the Co-Rights Agents. The Corporation agrees to pay all reasonable fees and expenses of the Rights Agent in respect of the performance of its duties under this Agreement.  The Corporation will fully indemnify and hold the Rights Agent, its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liabilities arising directly or indirectly out of its agency relationship to the Corporation as set forth in this Agreement (which right to indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent) except for any liability arising out of the gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct by the Rights Agent. In the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct on its part, the Rights Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, omitted by it or for any error of judgement made by it in good faith in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. In no event will the Rights Agent be liable for special, indirect, consequential or punitive loss or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Rights Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages. |

|   | (c)    | The Board of Directors may waive the application of Section 3.1 in respect of the occurrence of any Flip-in Event if the Board of Directors has determined that a Person became an Acquiring Person by inadvertence and without any intention to become, or knowledge that it would become, an Acquiring Person under this Agreement and, in the event that such a waiver is granted by the Board of Directors, such Stock Acquisition Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. Any such waiver pursuant to this Subsection 5.2(c) must be on the condition that such Person, within 14 days after the foregoing determination by the Board of Directors or such earlier or later date as the Board of Directors may determine (the “Disposition Date”), has reduced its Beneficial Ownership of Voting Shares such that the Person is no longer an Acquiring Person. If the Person remains an Acquiring Person at the close of business on the Disposition Date, the Disposition Date shall be deemed to be the date of occurrence of a further Stock Acquisition Date and Section 3.1 shall apply thereto. |
