 SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN AGREEMENT 

THIS SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN AGREEMENT is made as of December 7, 2021 between DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (the “Corporation”), a
corporation amalgamated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, a trust company continued under the laws of Canada and registered to carry on business in all provinces of Canada (the “Rights
Agent”). 
 WHEREAS effective December 7, 2021, the Board of Directors (as hereinafter defined), in the exercise of its fiduciary duties to
the Corporation, has determined that it is advisable for the Corporation to adopt the shareholder rights plan as provided herein (the “Rights Plan”) to prevent, to the extent possible, a creeping takeover of the Corporation and to
ensure, to the extent possible, the fair treatment of all shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for the securities of the Corporation, and to ensure that the Board of Directors is provided with sufficient time to evaluate unsolicited
take-over bids and to explore and develop alternatives to maximize shareholder value; 
 AND WHEREAS in order to implement the Rights Plan as established by
this Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the Board of Directors has: 
  

	(a)	 authorized the issuance, effective at the close of business (Calgary time) on December 17, 2021 (the
“Record Time”), of one Right (as hereinafter defined) in respect of each Common Share (as hereinafter defined) outstanding at the Record Time; 



 

	(b)	 authorized the issuance of one Right in respect of each Voting Share of the Corporation issued after the Record
Time and prior to the earlier of the Separation Time (as hereinafter defined) and the Expiration Time (as hereinafter defined); and 


  

	(c)	 authorized the issuance of Rights Certificates (as hereinafter defined) to holders of Rights pursuant to the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 


 AND WHEREAS each Right entitles the holder thereof, after the Separation Time, to
purchase securities of the Corporation pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 
 AND WHEREAS the Corporation desires to
appoint the Rights Agent to act on behalf of the Corporation and the holders of Rights, and the Rights Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, transfer, exchange and replacement of Rights Certificates, the exercise of Rights and
other matters referred to herein. 
 NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and the respective covenants and agreements set forth herein, and
subject to such covenants and agreements, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Acquisition, a Voting Share Reduction, a Pro Rata Acquisition or a Convertible Security Acquisition or any combination thereof; and provided, further, that a Person shall cease to be a Grandfathered Person in the event that such Person ceases to

also evidence one Right for each Voting Share represented thereby until the earlier of the Separation Time or the Expiration Time and shall have impressed on, printed on, written on or otherwise affixed to them the following legend: 

Until the earlier of the Separation Time or the Expiration Time (as both terms are defined in the Shareholder Rights Agreement referred to
below), this certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain Rights as set forth in a Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement dated as of December 7, 2021, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the
“Shareholder Rights Agreement”), between DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd. (the “Corporation”) and Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as Rights Agent, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference and a copy of
which is on file at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. Under certain circumstances set out in the Shareholder Rights Agreement, the Rights may be amended or redeemed, may expire or may become void (if, in certain cases they are
“Beneficially Owned” by an “Acquiring Person” as such terms are defined in the Shareholder Rights Agreement, whether currently held by or on behalf of such Person or a subsequent holder) or may be evidenced by separate
certificates and no longer evidenced by this certificate. The Corporation will mail or arrange for the mailing of a copy of the Shareholder Rights Agreement to the holder of this certificate without charge as soon as practicable after the receipt of
a written request therefor. 
  

	2.2	 Initial Exercise Price; Exercise of Rights; Detachment of Rights 



 

	 	(a)	 Subject to adjustment as herein set forth, each Right will entitle the holder thereof, from and after the
Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, to purchase one Common Share for the Exercise Price, or its U.S. Dollar Equivalent, as at the Business Day immediately preceding the Separation Time (which Exercise Price and number of Common
Shares are subject to adjustment as set forth below). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Rights held by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall be void. 



  
 - 13 - 













	 	(b)	 Until the Separation Time: 



 

	 	(i)	 the Rights shall not be exercisable and no Right may be exercised; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 each Right will be evidenced by the certificate for the associated Voting Share registered in the name of the
holder thereof (which certificate shall also be deemed to represent a Rights Certificate) and will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred by a transfer of, such associated Voting Share. 



 

	 	(c)	 From and after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time: 



 

	 	(i)	 the Rights shall be exercisable; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 the registration and transfer of Rights shall be separate from and independent of Voting Shares.



 Promptly following the Separation Time, the Corporation will prepare or cause to be prepared and the Rights Agent will
mail to each holder of record of Voting Shares as of the Separation Time and, in respect of each Convertible Security converted into Voting Shares after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, promptly after such conversion, the
Corporation will prepare or cause to be prepared and the Rights Agent will mail to the holder so converting (other than in either case an Acquiring Person and any Transferee whose rights are or become null and void pursuant to Section 3.1(b)
and, in respect of any Rights Beneficially Owned by such Acquiring Person or Transferee which are not held of record by such Acquiring Person or Transferee, the holder of record of such Rights (a “Nominee”)), at such holder’s
address as shown by the records of the Corporation (the Corporation hereby agreeing to furnish copies of such records to the Rights Agent for this purpose): 
  

	 	(x)	 a Rights Certificate appropriately completed, representing the number of Rights held by such holder at the
Separation Time or at the time of conversion, as applicable, and having such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the Corporation may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with
the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any law, rule or regulation or judicial or administrative order made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any self-regulatory organization, stock exchange or
quotation system on which the Rights may from time to time be listed or traded, or to conform to usage; and 


  

	 	(y)	 a disclosure statement prepared by the Corporation describing the Rights, 



provided that a Nominee shall be sent the materials provided for in (x) and (y) only in respect of all Common Shares held of record by it
which are not Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person. In order for the Corporation to determine whether any Person is holding Common Shares which are Beneficially Owned by another Person, the Corporation may require such first Person to furnish
such information and documentation as the Corporation deems necessary. 
  

	 	(d)	 Rights may be exercised, in whole or in part, on any Business Day after the Separation Time and prior to the
Expiration Time by submitting to the Rights Agent at its office in Calgary, Canada or any other office of the Rights Agent in cities designated from time to time for that purpose by the Corporation with the approval of the Rights Agent:



  

	 	(i)	 the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights;

attached to the Rights Certificate appropriately completed and duly executed by the holder or such holder’s executors or administrators or other personal representatives or such holder’s or their legal attorney duly appointed by an
instrument in writing in form and executed in a manner satisfactory to the Rights Agent; and 


  

	 	(iii)	 payment by certified cheque, banker’s draft, money order or wire transfer payable to the order of the
Rights Agent, of a sum equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Rights being exercised and a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of
Rights Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Shares in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being exercised. 



  
 - 14 - 













	 	(e)	 Upon receipt of a Rights Certificate, together with a completed Election to Exercise executed in accordance
with Subsection 2.2(d)(ii), which does not indicate that such Right is null and void as provided by Subsection 3.1(b), and payment as set forth in Subsection 2.2(d)(iii), the Rights Agent (unless otherwise instructed by the Corporation in the event
that the Corporation is of the opinion that the Rights cannot be exercised in accordance with this Agreement) will thereupon as soon as practicable: 


  

	 	(i)	 requisition from the transfer agent certificates representing the number of such Common Shares to be purchased
(the Corporation hereby irrevocably authorizing its transfer agent to comply with all such requisitions); 


  

	 	(ii)	 when appropriate, requisition from the Corporation the amount of cash, if any, to be paid in lieu of issuing
fractional Common Shares; 


  

	 	(iii)	 after receipt of the certificates referred to in Subsection 2.2(e)(i), deliver the same to or upon the order of
the registered holder of such Rights Certificates, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder; 


  

	 	(iv)	 when appropriate, after receipt, deliver the cash referred to in Subsection 2.2(e)(ii) to or to the order of
the registered holder of such Rights Certificate; and 


  

	 	(v)	 remit to the Corporation all payments received on the exercise of Rights. 



 

	 	(f)	 In case the holder of any Rights shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced by such holder’s Rights
Certificate, a new Rights Certificate evidencing the Rights remaining unexercised (subject to the provisions of Subsection 5.5(a)) will be issued by the Rights Agent to such holder or to such holder’s duly authorized assigns.



  

	 	(g)	 The Corporation covenants and agrees that it will: 



 

	 	(i)	 take all such action as may be necessary and within its power to ensure that all Common Shares delivered upon
exercise of Rights shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Common Shares (subject to payment of the Exercise Price), be duly and validly authorized, executed, issued and delivered as fully paid and
non-assessable; 


  

	 	(ii)	 take all such action as may be necessary and within its power to comply with the requirements of the ABCA, the
Securities Act and the other applicable securities laws or comparable legislation of each of the provinces of Canada, the 1933 Securities Act, the 1934 Exchange Act, and any other applicable law, rule or regulation, in connection with the issuance
and delivery of the Rights, the Rights Certificates and the issuance of any Common Shares upon exercise of Rights; 


  

	 	(iii)	 use reasonable efforts to cause all Common Shares issued upon exercise of Rights to be listed on the stock
exchanges and markets on which such Common Shares were traded immediately prior to the Stock Acquisition Date; 


  

	 	(iv)	 pay when due and payable, if applicable, any and all federal, provincial, state and municipal transfer taxes
and charges (not including any income or capital taxes of the holder or exercising holder or any liability of the Corporation to withhold tax) which may be payable in respect of the original issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates, or
certificates for Common Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Rights, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any transfer tax or charge which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the transfer or delivery of
Rights Certificates or the issuance or delivery of certificates for Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Rights in a name other than that of the holder of the Rights being transferred or exercised; and 



 

	 	(v)	 after the Separation Time, except as permitted by Sections 5.1 and 5.4, not take (or permit any Subsidiary to
take) any action if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. 



 

	2.3	 Adjustments to Exercise Price; Number of Rights 



The Exercise Price, the number and kind of securities subject to purchase upon exercise of each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.3 and in Article 3. 
  

	 	(a)	 In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Date and prior to the Expiration Time:



  

	 	(i)	 declare or pay a dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares or Convertible Securities in respect
thereof other than pursuant to any Dividend Reinvestment Plan; 


  

	 	(ii)	 subdivide or change the then outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares;




  
 - 15 - 













	 	(iii)	 consolidate or change the then outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares; or



  

	 	(iv)	 issue any Common Shares (or Convertible Securities in respect thereof) in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange
for existing Common Shares except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3, 


 then the Exercise Price and the number
of Rights outstanding (or, if the payment or effective date therefor shall occur after the Separation Time, the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights) shall be adjusted as of the payment or effective date in the manner set forth below. 

If the Exercise Price and number of Rights outstanding are to be adjusted: 

 

	 	x	 the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment will be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately
prior to such adjustment divided by the number of Common Shares (or other capital stock) (the “Expansion Factor”) that a holder of one Common Share immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance
would hold thereafter as a result thereof; and 


  

	 	y	 each Right held prior to such adjustment will become that number of Rights equal to the Expansion Factor, and
the adjusted number of Rights will be deemed to be distributed among the Common Shares with respect to which the original Rights were associated (if they remain outstanding) and the shares issued in respect of such dividend, subdivision, change,
consolidation or issuance, so that each such Common Share (or other capital stock) will have exactly one Right associated with it. 


 For
greater certainty, if the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights are to be adjusted, the securities purchasable upon exercise of each Right after such adjustment will be the securities that a holder of the securities purchasable upon
exercise of one Right immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance would hold thereafter as a result of such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance. 

Adjustments made pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall be made successively, whenever an event referred to in this Section 2.3(a) occurs. 

If, after the Effective Date and prior to the Expiration Time, the Corporation shall issue any shares of capital stock other than Common Shares in a
transaction of a type described in Subsections 2.3(a)(i) or 2.3(a)(iv), shares of such capital stock shall be treated herein as nearly equivalent to Common Shares as may be practicable and appropriate under the circumstances and the Corporation and
the Rights Agent agree to amend this Agreement in order to effect such treatment. 
 If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this
Section 2.3 and Section 3.1, the adjustment provided for in this Section 2.3 shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required under Section 3.1. 

In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Date and prior to the Separation Time issue any Common Shares otherwise than in a
transaction referred to in this Subsection 2.3(a), each such Common Share so issued shall automatically have one new Right associated with it, which Right shall be evidenced by the certificate representing such associated Common Share. 

 

	 	(b)	 In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Date and prior to the Separation Time fix a
record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants (other than Rights) to all holders of Common Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or
Convertible Securities in respect of Common Shares) at a price per Common Share (or, in the case of a Convertible Security, having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share, including the price required to be paid to purchase such
Convertible Security) less than the Market Price per Common Share on such record date, the Exercise Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by
a fraction: 


  

	 	(i)	 the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of
Common Shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion, exchange or exercise price of the Convertible Securities, including the price required to be paid to
purchase such Convertible Securities) would purchase at such Market Price per Common Share; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number
of additional Common Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the Convertible Securities so to be offered are initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable). 



In case such subscription price may be paid by delivery of consideration, part or all of which may be in a form other than cash, the value of
such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of Rights. Such adjustment
shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and in the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so 

  
 - 16 - 












 
issued, or if issued, are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not
been fixed, or to the Exercise Price which would be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or
warrants, as the case may be. 
 For purposes of this Agreement, the granting of the right to purchase Common Shares (whether from treasury
or otherwise) pursuant to any Dividend Reinvestment Plan or any employee benefit, stock option or similar plans shall be deemed not to constitute an issue of rights, options or warrants by the Corporation; provided, however, that, in the case of any
Dividend Reinvestment Plan or share purchase plan, the right to purchase Common Shares is at a price per share of not less than 90% of the current market price per share (determined as provided in such plans) of the Common Shares. 

 

	 	(c)	 In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Date and prior to the Separation Time fix a
record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a merger or amalgamation) of evidences of indebtedness, cash (other than an annual cash dividend or a dividend paid
in Common Shares, but including any dividend payable in securities other than Common Shares), assets or rights, options or warrants (excluding rights, options or warrants expiring within 45 calendar days after such record date) to purchase Common
Shares or Convertible Securities in respect of Common Shares, the Exercise Price in effect after such record date shall be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets, rights, options or warrants so to be distributed applicable to the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right. Such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed. 


  

	 	(d)	 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be required unless
such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one per cent in the Exercise Price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Subsection 2.3(d) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under Section 2.3 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share. Any adjustment required by Section 2.3
shall be made as of: 


  

	 	(i)	 the payment or effective date for the applicable dividend, subdivision, change, combination or issuance, in the
case of an adjustment made pursuant to Subsection 2.3(a); or 


  

	 	(ii)	 the record date for the applicable dividend or distribution, the case of an adjustment made pursuant to
Subsection 2.3(b) or (c), subject to readjustment to reverse the same if such distribution shall not be made. 


  

	 	(e)	 In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Effective Date and prior to the Separation Time issue
any shares of capital stock (other than Common Shares), or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any such capital stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such capital stock, in a transaction referred to in
Subsection 2.3(a)(i) or (iv) or Subsections 2.3(b) or (c), if the Board of Directors acting in good faith determines that the adjustments contemplated by Subsections 2.3(a), (b) and (c) in connection with such transaction will not
appropriately protect the interests of the holders of Rights, the Board of Directors may determine what other adjustments to the Exercise Price, number of Rights and/or securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights would be appropriate and,
notwithstanding Subsections 2.3(a), (b) and (c), such adjustments, rather than the adjustments contemplated by Subsections 2.3(a), (b) and (c), shall be made. Subject to Subsections 5.4(b) and (c), the Corporation and the Rights Agent may, with the
prior approval of the holders of the Common Shares, amend this Agreement as appropriate to provide for such adjustments. 


  

	 	(f)	 Each Right originally issued by the Corporation subsequent to any adjustment made to the Exercise Price
hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Common Shares purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of a Right immediately prior to such issue, all subject to further adjustment as
provided herein. 


  

	 	(g)	 Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares issuable upon the
exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Exercise Price per Common Share and the number of Common Shares which were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder.



  

	 	(h)	 In any case in which this Section 2.3 shall require that an adjustment in the Exercise Price be made
effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Corporation may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date the number of Common Shares and other securities of
the Corporation, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Corporation, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment;
provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional shares (fractional or otherwise) or other securities upon the occurrence of the event
requiring such adjustment. 



  
 - 17 - 













	 	(i)	 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.3 to the contrary, the Corporation shall be entitled
to make such reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 2.3, as and to the extent that in their good faith judgment the Board of Directors shall determine to be advisable, in order that
any: 


  

	 	(i)	 consolidation or subdivision of Common Shares; 



 

	 	(ii)	 issuance (wholly or in part for cash) of Common Shares or securities that by their terms are convertible into
or exchangeable for Common Shares; 


  

	 	(iii)	 stock dividends; or 


  


	 	(iv)	 issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 2.3, 



hereafter made by the Corporation to holders of its Common Shares, subject to applicable taxation laws, shall not be taxable to such
shareholders or shall subject such shareholders to a lesser amount of tax. 
  

	 	(j)	 Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price is made pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Corporation shall:



  

	 	(i)	 promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for
such adjustment; and 


  

	 	(ii)	 promptly file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares a copy of such
certificate and mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of Rights who requests a copy; 


 Failure to file such
certificate or to cause such notice to be given as aforesaid, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment or change. 
  

	2.4	 Date on Which Exercise Is Effective 



Each Person in whose name any certificate for Common Shares or other securities, if applicable, is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be
deemed to have become the absolute holder of record of the Common Shares or other securities, if applicable, represented thereon, and such certificate shall be dated the date upon which the Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly
surrendered in accordance with Subsection 2.2(d) (together with a duly completed Election to Exercise) and payment of the Exercise Price for such Rights (and any applicable transfer taxes and other governmental charges payable by the exercising
holder hereunder) was made; provided, however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Common Share transfer books of the Corporation are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such
shares on, and such certificate shall be dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which the Common Share transfer books of the Corporation are open. 
  

	2.5	 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating of Rights Certificates 



 

	 	(a)	 The Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer or any Vice-President and by its Corporate Secretary or any Assistant Secretary under the corporate seal of the Corporation reproduced thereon. The signature of any of these officers on the
Rights Certificates may be manual or facsimile. Rights Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices either before or after the countersignature and delivery of such Rights Certificates. 


  

	 	(b)	 Promptly after the Corporation learns of the Separation Time, the Corporation will notify the Rights Agent of
such Separation Time and will deliver Rights Certificates executed by the Corporation to the Rights Agent for countersignature, and the Rights Agent shall countersign (manually or by facsimile signature in a manner satisfactory to the Corporation)
and send such Rights Certificates to the holders of the Rights pursuant to Subsection 2.2(c) hereof. No Rights Certificate shall be valid for any purpose until countersigned by the Rights Agent as aforesaid. 



 

	 	(c)	 Each Rights Certificate shall be dated the date of countersignature thereof. 



  
 - 18 - 













	2.6	 Registration, Transfer and Exchange 



 

	 	(a)	 After the Separation Time, the Corporation will cause to be kept a register (the “Rights
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation will provide for the registration and transfer of Rights. The Rights Agent, at its office in the City of Calgary, is hereby appointed registrar
for the Rights (the “Rights Registrar”) for the purpose of maintaining the Rights Register for the Corporation and registering Rights and transfers of Rights as herein provided and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment.
In the event that the Rights Agent shall cease to be the Rights Registrar, the Rights Agent will have the right to examine the Rights Register at all reasonable times. 



 

	 	(b)	 After the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time, upon surrender for registration of transfer or
exchange of any Rights Certificate, and subject to the provisions of Subsection 2.6(d), the Corporation will execute, and the Rights Agent will countersign and deliver, in the name of the holder or the designated transferee or transferees, as
required pursuant to the holder’s instructions, one or more new Rights Certificates evidencing the same aggregate number of Rights as did the Rights Certificates so surrendered. 



 

	 	(c)	 All Rights issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Rights Certificates shall be the valid
obligations of the Corporation, and such Rights shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Rights surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 



 

	 	(d)	 Every Rights Certificate surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation or the Rights Agent, as the case may be, duly executed by the holder thereof or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the
issuance of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.6, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including
the reasonable fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) connected therewith. 


  

	2.7	 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Rights Certificates 



 

	 	(a)	 If any mutilated Rights Certificate is surrendered to the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time, the
Corporation shall execute and the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver in exchange therefor a new Rights Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so surrendered. 



 

	 	(b)	 If there shall be delivered to the Corporation and the Rights Agent prior to the Expiration Time:



  

	 	(i)	 evidence to their reasonable satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Rights Certificate; and



  

	 	(ii)	 such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any of their agents
harmless, 


 then, in the absence of notice to the Corporation or the Rights Agent that such Rights Certificate has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and upon the Corporation’s request the Rights Agent shall countersign and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate, a new Rights
Certificate evidencing the same number of Rights as did the Rights Certificate so destroyed, lost or stolen. 
  

	 	(c)	 As a condition to the issuance of any new Rights Certificate under this Section 2.7, the Corporation may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Rights Agent) connected therewith.



  

	 	(d)	 Every new Rights Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 2.7 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
Rights Certificate shall evidence the contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Rights Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement
equally and proportionately with any and all other Rights duly issued hereunder. 


  

	2.8	 Persons Deemed Owners of Rights 



The Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Rights Certificate (or,
prior to the Separation Time, the associated Common Share certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby for all purposes whatsoever. As used in this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, the
term “holder” of any Right shall mean the registered holder of such Right (or, prior to the Separation Time, of the associated Common Share). 
  

	2.9	 Delivery and Cancellation of Certificates 



All Rights Certificates surrendered upon exercise or for redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Rights Agent, be delivered to the Rights Agent and, in any case, shall be promptly cancelled by the Rights Agent. The Corporation may at any time deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation any Rights Certificates previously countersigned and
delivered hereunder which the Corporation may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Rights Certificates so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Rights Agent. No Rights Certificate shall be countersigned in lieu of or in exchange
for any Rights Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 2.9, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. The Rights Agent shall, subject to applicable laws, destroy all cancelled Rights Certificates and deliver a certificate of
destruction to the Corporation. 

  
 - 19 - 













	2.10	 Agreement of Rights Holders 



Every holder of Rights, by accepting the same, consents and agrees with the Corporation and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of Rights: 

 

	 	(a)	 to be bound by and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as amended from time to time in accordance with
the terms hereof, in respect of all Rights held; 


  

	 	(b)	 that prior to the Separation Time, each Right will be transferable only together with, and will be transferred
by a transfer of, the associated Voting Share certificate representing such Right; 


  

	 	(c)	 that after the Separation Time, the Rights Certificates will be transferable only on the Rights Register as
provided herein; 


  

	 	(d)	 that prior to due presentment of a Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the associated Voting
Share certificate) for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Rights Agent and any agent of the Corporation or the Rights Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name the Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Separation Time, the
associated Voting Share certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on such Rights Certificate or the associated Voting Share certificate made by
anyone other than the Corporation or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; 



 

	 	(e)	 that such holder of Rights has waived his right to receive any fractional Rights or any fractional shares or
other securities upon exercise of a Right (except as provided herein); 


  

	 	(f)	 that, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4, without the approval of any holder of Rights or Voting
Shares and upon the sole authority of the Board of Directors, acting in good faith, this Agreement may be supplemented or amended from time to time pursuant to and as provided herein; and 



 

	 	(g)	 that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Rights Agent
shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or any other Person as a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of preliminary or permanent injunctions or other order, decree or ruling issued by a
court of competent jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority prohibiting or otherwise restraining
performance of such obligation. 


  

	2.11	 Rights Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Shareholder 



No holder, as such, of any Rights or Rights Certificate shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose whatsoever the holder of any
Common Share or any other share or security of the Corporation which may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained herein or in any Rights Certificate be construed or deemed or confer
upon the holder of any Right or Rights Certificate, as such, any right, title, benefit or privilege of a holder of Common Shares or any other shares or securities of the Corporation or any right to vote at any meeting of shareholders of the
Corporation whether for the election of directors or otherwise or upon any matter submitted to holders of Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any action of the Corporation,
or to receive notice of any meeting or other action affecting any holder of Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation except as expressly provided herein, or to receive dividends, distributions or subscription rights, or otherwise, until
the Right or Rights evidenced by Rights Certificates shall have been duly exercised in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. 

ARTICLE 3 

ADJUSTMENTS TO THE RIGHTS 
  

	3.1	 Flip-in Event 



 

	 	(a)	 Subject to Subsection 3.1(b) and Section 5.1, in the event that prior to the Expiration Time a Flip-in Event shall occur, each Right shall constitute, effective at the close of business on the tenth Trading Day after the Stock Acquisition Date, the right to purchase from the Corporation, upon exercise thereof
in accordance with the terms hereof, that number of Common Shares having an aggregate Market Price on the date of consummation or occurrence of such Flip-in Event equal to twice the Exercise Price for an
amount in cash equal to the Exercise Price (such right to be appropriately adjusted in a manner analogous to the applicable adjustment provided for in Section 2.3 in the event that after such consummation or occurrence, an event of a type
analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3 shall have occurred). 



  
 - 20 - 













	 	(b)	 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Flip-in Event, any Rights that are or were Beneficially Owned on or after the earlier of the Separation Time or the Stock Acquisition Date by: 



 

	 	(i)	 an Acquiring Person (or any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person or any other Person acting jointly or
in concert with an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate of such other Person); or 


  

	 	(ii)	 a transferee or other successor in title, directly or indirectly, (a “Transferee”) of Rights
held by an Acquiring Person (or any Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person or any other Person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate of such other Person), where such Transferee becomes a
transferee concurrently with or subsequent to the Acquiring Person becoming such in a transfer that the Board of Directors acting in good faith has determined is part of a plan, arrangement or scheme of an Acquiring Person (or any Affiliate or
Associate of an Acquiring Person or any other Person acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate of such other Person), that has the purpose or effect of avoiding Subsection 3.1(b)(i), 



shall become null and void without any further action, and any holder of such Rights (including any Transferee) shall thereafter have no right
to exercise such Rights under any provision of this Agreement and further shall thereafter not have any other rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights, whether under any provision of this Agreement or otherwise. The holder of any Rights
represented by a Rights Certificate which is submitted to the Rights Agent upon exercise or for registration or transfer or exchange which does not contain the necessary certifications set forth in the Rights Certificate establishing that such
Rights are not null and void under this Subsection 3.1(b) shall be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for the purposes of this Subsection 3.1 and such Rights shall become null and void. 

 

	 	(c)	 From and after the Separation Time, the Corporation shall do all such acts and things as shall be necessary and
within its power to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.1, including without limitation, all such acts and things as may be required to satisfy the requirements of the ABCA, the Securities Act and the other applicable
securities laws or comparable legislation of each of the provinces of Canada and in any other jurisdiction where the Corporation is subject to such laws and the rules of the stock exchanges or quotation systems where the Common Shares are listed or
quoted at such time in respect of the issue of Common Shares upon the exercise of Rights in accordance with this Agreement. 


  

	 	(d)	 Any Rights Certificate that represents Rights Beneficially Owned by a Person described in either Subsection
3.1(b)(i) or (ii) or transferred to any Nominee of any such Person, and any Rights Certificate issued upon transfer, exchange, replacement or adjustment of any other Rights Certificate referred to in this sentence, shall contain or will be
deemed to contain the following legend: 


 The Rights represented by this Rights Certificate were issued to a Person who
was an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or an Associate of an Acquiring Person (as such terms are defined in the Shareholder Rights Agreement) or a Person who was acting jointly or in concert with an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of
such Person. This Rights Certificate and the Rights represented hereby are void or shall become void in the circumstances specified in Subsection 3.1(b) of the Shareholder Rights Agreement. 

provided, however, that the Rights Agent shall not be under any responsibility to ascertain the existence of facts that would require the
imposition of such legend but shall impose such legend only if instructed to do so by the Corporation in writing or if a holder fails to certify upon transfer or exchange in the space provided on the Rights Certificate that such holder is not a
Person described in such legend and provided further that the fact that such legend does not appear on a certificate is not determinative of whether any Rights represented thereby are void under this Section. 

ARTICLE 4 
 THE
RIGHTS AGENT 
  

	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. 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 with the approval of the Rights Agent and the Co-Rights Agent. The Corporation agrees to pay to the
Rights Agent reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements reasonably incurred in the administration and
execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder (including the fees and disbursements of any expert or advisor retained by the Rights Agent pursuant to Section 4.3(a)). The Corporation also agrees to
indemnify the Rights Agent, and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and to hold it and them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, incurred 



  
 - 21 - 













	 	
without negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent or such persons, for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent or such persons in connection with the
acceptance and administration of this Agreement, including legal costs and expenses, which right to indemnification will survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent. 


 

	 	(b)	 The Rights Agent shall be protected and shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in connection with its administration of this Agreement in reliance upon any certificate for Common Shares, Rights Certificate, certificate for other securities of the Corporation, instrument of assignment or transfer,
power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction, consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper
Person or Persons. 


  

	 	(c)	 The Corporation shall inform the Rights Agent in a reasonably timely manner of events which may materially
affect the administration of this Agreement by the Rights Agent and, at any time upon request, shall provide to the Rights Agent an incumbency certificate certifying the then current officers of the Corporation. 



 

	4.2	 Merger, Amalgamation or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent 



 

	 	(a)	 Any corporation into which the Rights Agent may be merged or amalgamated or with which it may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, amalgamation, statutory arrangement or consolidation to which the Rights Agent is a party, or any corporation succeeding to the shareholder or stockholder services business of the Rights Agent, will be
the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights
Agent under the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. In case at the time such successor Rights Agent succeeds to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Rights Certificates have been countersigned but not delivered, any successor Rights
Agent may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates have not been countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may
countersign such Rights Certificates in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates will have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this
Agreement. 


  

	 	(b)	 In case at any time the name of the Rights Agent is changed and at such time any of the Rights Certificates
shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been
countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this
Agreement. 


  

	4.3	 Duties of Rights Agent 



The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, all of which the Corporation and the
holders of certificates for Common Shares and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound: 
  

	 	(a)	 the Rights Agent may retain and consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Corporation) and
the opinion of such counsel will be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such opinion and the Rights Agent may also consult with such other
experts as the Rights Agent may reasonably consider necessary or appropriate to properly carry out the duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement (at the expense of the Corporation) and the Rights Agent shall be entitled to act and rely in
good faith on the advice of any such expert; 


  

	 	(b)	 whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Rights Agent deems it necessary or
desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Corporation prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by a Person believed by the Rights Agent to be the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, any Vice-President, Treasurer, Corporate Secretary or
any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate will be full authorization to the Rights Agent for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance
upon such certificate; 


  

	 	(c)	 the Rights Agent will be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct;



  

	 	(d)	 the Rights Agent will not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in
this Agreement or in the certificates for Common Shares or the Rights Certificates (except its countersignature thereof), or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and will be deemed to have been made by the
Corporation only; 



  
 - 22 - 













	 	(e)	 the Rights Agent will not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the
execution and delivery hereof (except the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any certificate for a Common Share or Rights Certificate (except its countersignature
thereof); nor will it be responsible for any breach by the Corporation of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor will it be responsible for any change in the exercisability of the Rights (including
the Rights becoming void pursuant to Subsection 3.1(b) hereof) or any adjustment required under the provisions of Section 2.3 hereof or responsible for the manner, method or amount of any such adjustment or the ascertaining of the existence of
facts that would require any such adjustment (except with respect to the exercise of Rights after receipt of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.3 describing any such adjustment or any written notice from the Corporation or any holder
that a Person has become an Acquiring Person); nor will it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization of any Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Rights or as to whether any
Common Shares will, when issued, be duly and validly authorized, executed, issued and delivered and fully paid and non-assessable; 



 

	 	(f)	 the Corporation agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed,
executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement;



  

	 	(g)	 the Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions in writing with respect to the
performance of its duties hereunder from any individual believed by the Rights Agent to be the Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, any Vice-President, Treasurer, Corporate Secretary or any Assistant
Secretary of the Corporation, and to apply to such individuals for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such
individual. It is understood that instructions to the Rights Agent shall, except where circumstances make it impractical or the Rights Agent otherwise agrees, be given in writing and, where not in writing, such instructions shall be confirmed in
writing as soon as practicable after the giving of such instructions; 


  

	 	(h)	 the Rights Agent and any shareholder or stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy,
sell or deal in Common Shares, Rights or other securities of the Corporation or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Corporation may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Corporation or otherwise act as fully
and freely as though it were not Rights Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Corporation or for any other legal entity; and 



 

	 	(i)	 the Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty
hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents, and the Rights Agent will not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Corporation resulting
from any such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof. 


  

	4.4	 Change of Rights Agent 



The Rights Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties under this Agreement upon 60 days’ notice (or such lesser notice as is acceptable to the
Corporation) in writing mailed to the Corporation and to each transfer agent of Common Shares by registered or certified mail and to the holders of Rights in accordance with Section 5.9. The Corporation may remove the Rights Agent upon 30
days’ notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent and to each transfer agent of the Common Shares by registered or certified mail and to the holders of Rights in accordance with Section 5.9. If the Rights Agent should resign or be
removed or otherwise become incapable of acting, the Corporation will appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Corporation fails to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after such removal or after it has been notified in writing
of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then by prior written notice to the Corporation the resigning Rights Agent or the holder of any Rights (which holder shall, with such notice, submit such holder’s
Rights Certificate, if any, for inspection by the Corporation), may apply, at the Corporation’s expense, to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the
Corporation or by such a court, shall be a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada or a province thereof authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Alberta. After appointment, the successor Rights Agent will
be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but the predecessor Rights Agent shall, upon payment in full of any outstanding amounts owing by the
Corporation to the Rights Agent under this Agreement, deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed necessary for the purpose.
Not later than the effective date of any such appointment, the Corporation will file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of the Common Shares, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the holders of the
Rights in accordance with Section 5.9. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 4.4, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the
appointment of any successor Rights Agent, as the case may be. 

  
 - 23 - 













	4.5	 Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering Legislation 



The Rights Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason, the
Rights Agent reasonably determines that such an act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the
Rights Agent reasonably determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in it being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation
or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on 10 days’ prior written notice to the Corporation, provided: (i) that the Rights Agent’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such
non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Rights Agent’s satisfaction within such 10 day period, then such resignation shall not be effective. 

 

	4.6	 Privacy Legislation 



The parties acknowledge that federal and/or provincial legislation that addresses the protection of individual’s personal information (collectively,
“Privacy Laws”) applies to obligations and activities under this Agreement. Despite any other provision of this Agreement, neither party will take or direct any action that would contravene, or cause the other to contravene, applicable
Privacy Laws. The Corporation will, prior to transferring or causing to be transferred personal information to the Rights Agent, obtain and retain required consents of the relevant individuals to the collection, use and disclosure of their personal
information, or will have determined that such consents either have previously been given upon which the parties can rely or are not required under the Privacy Laws. The Rights Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its
services hereunder comply with Privacy Laws. 
  

	4.7	 Liability 



Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and whether such losses or damages are foreseeable or unforeseeable, the Rights Agent shall not be
liable under any circumstances whatsoever for any (a) breach by any other party of securities law or other rule of any securities regulatory authority, (b) lost profits or (c) special, indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary,
aggravated or punitive losses or damages. 
 ARTICLE 5 

MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	5.1	 Redemption and Waiver 



 

	 	(a)	 The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, with the prior approval of the holders of Voting Shares or of
the holders of Rights given in accordance with Section 5.1(i) or (j), as the case may be, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event as to which the application of Section 3.1 has not
been waived pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1, elect to redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.00001 per Right appropriately adjusted in a manner analogous to the applicable
adjustment provided for in Section 2.3 in the event that an event of the type analogous to any of the events described in Section 2.3 shall have occurred (such redemption price being herein referred to as the “Redemption
Price”). 


  

	 	(b)	 The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, with the prior approval of the holders of Voting Shares given
in accordance with Section 5.1(i), determine, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event as to which the application of Section 3.1 has not been waived pursuant to this Section 5.1,
if such Flip-in Event would occur by reason of an acquisition of Voting Shares otherwise than pursuant to a Take-over Bid made by means of a take-over bid circular to all holders of record of Voting Shares and
otherwise than in the circumstances set forth in Subsection 5.1(d), to waive the application of Section 3.1 to such Flip-in Event. In the event that the Board of Directors proposes such a waiver, the
Board of Directors shall extend the Separation Time to a date subsequent to and not more than ten Business Days following the meeting of shareholders called to approve such waiver. 



 

	 	(c)	 The Board of Directors acting in good faith may, until the occurrence of a
Flip-in Event upon prior written notice delivered to the Rights Agent, determine to waive the application of Section 3.1 to such particular Flip-in Event provided
that the Flip-in Event would occur by reason of a Take-over Bid made by way of take-over bid circular sent to all holders of Voting Shares (which for greater certainty shall not include the circumstances
described in Subsection 5.1(d)); provided that if the Board of Directors waives the application of Section 3.1 to a particular Flip-in Event pursuant to this Subsection 5.1(c), the Board of Directors
shall be deemed to have waived the application of Section 3.1 to any other Flip-in Event subsequently occurring by reason of any Take-over Bid which is made by means of a take-over bid circular to all
holders of Voting Shares prior to the expiry of any Take-over Bid in respect of which a waiver is, or is deemed to have been, granted under this Subsection 5.1(c). 



 

	 	(d)	 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections 5.1(b) and (c) hereof, 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 within ten Trading Days following a Stock Acquisition Date 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 such 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 5.1(d) 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. 



  
 - 24 - 













	 	(e)	 The Board of Directors shall, without further formality, be deemed to have elected to redeem the Rights at the
Redemption Price on the date that a Person which has made a Permitted Bid, a Competing Permitted Bid or a Take-Over Bid in respect of which the Board of Directors has waived, or is deemed to have waived, pursuant to Subsection 5.1(c) the application
of Section 3.1, takes up and pays for Voting Shares in connection with such Permitted Bid, Competing Permitted Bid or Take-over bid, as the case may be. 


  


	 	(f)	 Where a Take-over Bid that is not a Permitted Bid is withdrawn or otherwise terminated after the Separation
Time has occurred and prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, the Board of Directors may elect to redeem all the outstanding Rights at the Redemption Price. Upon the Rights being redeemed pursuant to this
Subsection 5.1(f), all the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply as if the Separation Time had not occurred and Rights Certificates representing the number of Rights held by each holder of record of Common Shares as of the Separation
Time had not been mailed to each such holder and for all purposes of this Agreement the Separation Time shall be deemed not to have occurred and the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued replacement Rights to the holders of its then outstanding
Common Shares. 


  

	 	(g)	 If the Board of Directors elects or is deemed to have elected to redeem the Rights, and, in circumstances in
which Subsection 5.1(a) is applicable, such redemption is approved by the holders of Voting Shares or the holders of Rights in accordance with Subsection 5.1(i) or (j), as the case may be, the right to exercise the Rights, will thereupon, without
further action and without notice, terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price. 


  

	 	(h)	 Within ten Business Days after the Board of Directors elects or is deemed to elect to redeem the Rights or if
Subsection 5.1(a) is applicable within ten Business Days after the holders of Common Shares or the holders of Rights have approved a redemption of Rights in accordance with Section 5.1(i) or (j), as the case may be, the Corporation shall give
notice of redemption to the holders of the then outstanding Rights by mailing such notice to each such holder at his last address as it appears upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Separation Time, on the registry books of
the transfer agent for the Voting Shares. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of redemption will state the method by which the payment of the
Redemption Price will be made. The Corporation may not redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any time in any manner other than specifically set forth in this Section 5.1 or in connection with the purchase of Common Shares prior to
the Separation Time. 


  

	 	(i)	 If a redemption of Rights pursuant to Subsection 5.1(a) or a waiver of a
Flip-in Event pursuant to Section 5.1(b) is proposed at any time prior to the Separation Time, such redemption or waiver shall be submitted for approval to the holders of Voting Shares. Such approval
shall be deemed to have been given if the redemption or waiver is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Independent Shareholders represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of such holders duly held in accordance
with applicable laws and the Corporation’s by-laws. 


  

	 	(j)	 If a redemption of Rights pursuant to Subsection 5.1(a) is proposed at any time after the Separation Time, such
redemption shall be submitted for approval to the holders of Rights. Such approval shall be deemed to have been given if the redemption is approved by holders of Rights by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Rights represented in person
or by proxy at and entitled to vote at a meeting of such holders. For the purposes hereof, each outstanding Right (other than Rights which are Beneficially Owned by any Person referred to in Subsections (i) to (v) inclusive of the definition of
Independent Shareholders) shall be entitled to one vote, and the procedures for the calling, holding and conduct of the meeting shall be those, as nearly as may be, which are provided in the Corporation’s
by-laws and the ABCA, with respect to meetings of shareholders of the Corporation. 


  

	 	(k)	 The Corporation shall not be obligated to make a payment of the Redemption Price to any holder of Rights unless
such holder is entitled to receive at least $10 in respect of all of the Rights held by such holder. 


  

	5.2	 Expiration 



No Person shall have any rights whatsoever pursuant to this Agreement or in respect of any Right after the Expiration Time, except the Rights Agent as
specified in Section 4.1 of this Agreement. 
  

	5.3	 Issuance of New Rights Certificates 



Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Rights to the contrary, the Corporation may, at its option, issue new Rights Certificates
evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by the Board of Directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the number or kind or class of securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights made in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. 

  
 - 25 - 













	5.4	 Supplements and Amendments 



 

	 	(a)	 The Corporation may, without the prior approval of the holders of Voting Shares or Rights, make amendments to
this Agreement: 


  

	 	(i)	 to correct any clerical or typographical error; 



 

	 	(ii)	 which are required to maintain the validity of this Agreement as a result of any change in any applicable
legislation or regulations or rules thereunder; or 


  

	 	(iii)	 to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be defective or inconsistent
with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, provided that such action pursuant to this paragraph (iii) shall not adversely affect the interests of the
holders of Voting Shares or Rights in any material respect. 


  

	 	(b)	 Subject to Subsection 5.4(a), the Corporation may, with the prior approval of the holders of Voting Shares, at
any time before the Separation Time, supplement, amend, vary, rescind or delete any of the provisions of this Agreement and the Rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights generally).
Any approval of the holders of Voting Shares shall be deemed to have been given if the action requiring such approval is authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by Independent Shareholders present or represented at and
entitled to be voted at a meeting of the holders of Voting Shares duly called and held in compliance with applicable laws and the articles and by-laws of the Corporation. 



 

	 	(c)	 Subject to Subsection 5.4(a), the Corporation may, with the prior approval of the holders of Rights, at any
time on or after the Separation Time, supplement, amend, vary, rescind or delete any of the provisions of this Agreement and the Rights (whether or not such action would materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights generally).
Any approval of the holders of Rights shall be deemed to have been given if the action requiring such approval is authorized by the affirmative votes of the holders of Rights present or represented at and entitled to be voted at a meeting of the
holders of Rights and representing a majority of the votes cast in respect thereof. For the purposes hereof, each outstanding Right (other than Rights which are void pursuant to the provisions hereof) shall be entitled to one vote, and the
procedures for the calling, holding and conduct of the meeting shall be those, as nearly as may be, which are provided in the Corporation’s by-laws and the ABCA, with respect to meetings of shareholders
of the Corporation. 


  

	 	(d)	 Any amendments made by the Corporation to this Agreement pursuant to Subsection 5.4(a)(ii) shall:



  

	 	(i)	 if made before the Separation Time, be submitted to the shareholders of the Corporation at the next meeting of
shareholders and the shareholders may, by the majority referred to in Subsection 5.4(b), confirm or reject such amendment; 


  

	 	(ii)	 if made after the Separation Time, be submitted to the holders of Rights at a meeting to be called for on a
date not later than immediately following the next meeting of shareholders of the Corporation and the holders of Rights may, by resolution passed by the majority referred to in Subsection 5.4(c), confirm or reject such amendment.



 Any such amendment shall be effective from the date of the resolution of the Board of Directors adopting such amendment, until it is
confirmed or rejected or until it ceases to be effective (as described in the next sentence) and, where such amendment is confirmed, it continues in effect in the form so confirmed. If such amendment is rejected by the shareholders or the holders of
Rights or is not submitted to the shareholders or holders of Rights as required, then such amendment shall cease to be effective from and after the termination of the meeting (or any adjournment of such meeting) at which it was rejected or to which
it should have been but was not submitted or from and after the date of the meeting of holders of Rights that should have been but was not held, and no subsequent resolution of the Board of Directors to amend this Agreement to substantially the same
effect shall be effective until confirmed by the shareholders or holders of Rights as the case may be. 
  

	 	(e)	 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, no such supplement or amendment shall be
made to the provisions of Article 4 except with the written concurrence of the Rights Agent to such supplement or amendment. 


  

	5.5	 Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares 



 

	 	(a)	 The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Rights Certificates which
evidence fractional Rights. After the Separation Time, in lieu of issuing fractional Rights, the Corporation shall pay to the holders of record of the Rights Certificates (provided the Rights represented by such Rights Certificates are not void
pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 3.1(b), at the time such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable), an amount in cash equal to the fraction of the Market Price of one whole Right that the fraction of a Right that would otherwise be
issuable is of one whole Right. 



  
 - 26 - 













	 	(b)	 The Corporation shall not be required to issue fractions of Common Shares upon exercise of Rights or to
distribute certificates which evidence fractional Common Shares. In lieu of issuing fractional Common Shares, the Corporation shall pay to the registered holders of Rights Certificates, at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided, an
amount in cash equal to the fraction of the Market Price of one Common Share that the fraction of a Common Share that would otherwise be issuable upon the exercise of such Right is of one whole Common Share at the date of such exercise.



  

	5.6	 Rights of Action 



Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all rights of action in respect of this Agreement, other than rights of action vested solely in the Rights Agent, are
vested in the respective holders of the Rights. Any holder of Rights, without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Rights, may, on such holder’s own behalf and for such holder’s own benefit and the benefit of other
holders of Rights enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Corporation to enforce such holder’s right to exercise such holder’s Rights, or Rights to which such holder is entitled, in the manner
provided in such holder’s Rights Certificate and in this Agreement. 
 Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of
Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy at law for any breach of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations under, and injunctive relief against actual
or threatened violations of the obligations of any Person subject to, this Agreement. 
  

	5.7	 Regulatory Approvals 



Any obligation of the Corporation or action or event contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the receipt of any requisite approval or consent from
any governmental or regulatory authority, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any necessary approvals of the Toronto Stock Exchange, or any other applicable stock exchange or market or national securities quotation system.

  

	5.8	 Notice of Proposed Actions 



In case the Corporation shall propose after the Separation Time and prior to the Expiration Time to effect or permit (in cases where the Corporation’s
permission is required) any Flip-in Event or to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, then, in each such
case, the Corporation shall give to each holder of a Right, in accordance with Section 5.9 hereof, a notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the date on which such Flip-in Event, liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up is to take place, and such notice shall be so given at least 20 Business Days prior to the date of taking of such proposed action by the Corporation.

not confirmed by resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast by the Independent Shareholders who vote in respect of such confirmation at a meeting of shareholders to be held not later than six months from the Effective Date, then this

counsel) any action or event contemplated by this Agreement would require compliance by the Corporation with the securities laws or comparable legislation of a jurisdiction outside Canada or the United States, the Board of Directors acting in good
faith shall take such actions as it may deem appropriate to ensure that such compliance is not required, including without limitation establishing procedures for the issuance to a Canadian resident Fiduciary of Rights or securities issuable on
exercise of Rights, the holding thereof in trust for the Persons entitled thereto (but reserving to the Fiduciary or to the Fiduciary and the Corporation, as the Corporation may determine, absolute discretion with respect thereto) and the sale
thereof and remittance of the proceeds of such sale, if any, to the Persons entitled thereto. In no event shall the Corporation or the Rights Agent be required to issue or deliver Rights or securities issuable on exercise of Rights to persons who
are citizens, residents or nationals of any jurisdiction other than Canada or the United States, in which such issue or delivery would be unlawful without registration of the relevant Persons or securities for such purposes.

and surrender of this Rights Certificate with the Form of Election to Exercise (in the form provided hereinafter) duly executed and submitted to the Rights Agent, together with payment of the Exercise Price by certified cheque, bank draft or money
order payable to the Corporation, at the Rights Agent’s principal office in any of the cities of Calgary and Toronto. Until adjustment thereof in certain events as provided in the Shareholder Rights Agreement, the Exercise Price shall be: 

 

	 	(a)	 until the Separation Time, an amount equal to three times the Market Price (as such term is defined in the
Shareholder Rights Agreement), from time to time, per Common Share; and 


  

	 	(b)	 from and after the Separation Time, an amount equal to three times the Market Price, as at the Separation Time,
per Common Share. 


 In certain circumstances described in the Shareholder Rights Agreement, each Right evidenced hereby may entitle the
registered holder thereof to purchase or receive assets, debt securities or shares in the capital of the Corporation other than Common Shares, or more or less than one Common Share, all as provided in the Shareholder Rights Agreement. 

This Rights Certificate is subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Shareholder Rights Agreement, which terms and provisions are incorporated herein
by reference and made a part hereof and to which Shareholder Rights Agreement reference is hereby made for a full description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Rights Agent, the Corporation
and the holders of the Rights Certificates. Copies of the Shareholder Rights Agreement are on file at the registered office of the Corporation and are available upon request. 

This Rights Certificate, with or without other Rights Certificates, upon surrender at any of the offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, may
be exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates of like tenor and date evidencing an aggregate number of Rights equal to the aggregate number of Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates surrendered. If
this Rights Certificate shall be exercised in part, the registered holder shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender hereof, another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates for the number of whole Rights not exercised. 

Subject to the provisions of the Shareholder Rights Agreement, the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate may be, and under certain circumstances are
required to be, redeemed by the Corporation at a redemption price of $0.00001 per Right. 
 No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon the exercise of
any Right or Rights evidenced hereby, but in lieu thereof a cash payment will be made, as provided in the Shareholder Rights Agreement. 
 No holder of this
Rights Certificate, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of Common Shares or of any other securities which may at any time be issuable upon the exercise hereof, nor shall anything contained
in the Shareholder Rights Agreement or herein be construed to confer upon the holder hereof, as such, any of the Rights of a shareholder of the Corporation or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to
shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting shareholders (except as provided in the Shareholder Rights Agreement), or to receive dividends
or subscription rights, or otherwise, until the Rights evidenced by this Rights Certificate shall have been exercised as provided in the Shareholder Rights Agreement. 











 This Rights Certificate shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until it shall have been
countersigned by the Rights Agent. 
 WITNESS the facsimile signature of the proper officer of the Corporation.
