not declare or pay any dividend or make any other distribution on the Parent Shares unless:

if the dividend is a stock dividend or distribution of stock, in lieu of such a dividend, on the Parent Shares, Exchangeco shall (A) effect a corresponding, contemporaneous and economically equivalent subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares (as determined in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions) (an “Equivalent Stock Subdivision”) and (B) have sufficient authorized but unissued securities available to enable the Equivalent Stock Subdivision;

 

	
(b)  

	
advise Exchangeco sufficiently in advance of the declaration by the Parent of any dividend or other distribution on the Parent Shares and take all such other actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable, in co-operation with Exchangeco, to ensure that:

 

  

2

  

 

	
(i)  

	
the respective declaration date, record date and payment date for an Equivalent Dividend shall be the same as the declaration date, record date and payment date for the corresponding dividend or other distribution on the Parent Shares; or

 

	
(ii)  

	
the record date and effective date for an Equivalent Stock Subdivision shall be the same as the record date and payment date for the corresponding stock dividend or distribution of stock, in lieu of such a dividend, on the Parent Shares and that such Equivalent Stock Subdivision shall comply with the requirements of the stock exchange on which the Exchangeable Shares are then listed;

 

	
(c)  

	
ensure that the record date for determining shareholders entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution declared on the Parent Shares is not less than ten Business Days after the declaration date of such dividend or other distribution or such shorter period as may be permitted under applicable law and, if applicable, the requirements of any stock exchange on which the Exchangeable Shares are then listed;

 

	
(d)  

	
take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to enable and permit Exchangeco, in accordance with applicable law, to pay and otherwise perform its obligations with respect to the satisfaction of the Liquidation Amount, the Retraction Price or the Redemption Price upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco or any other distribution of the assets of Exchangeco among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the delivery of a Retraction Request by a holder of Exchangeable Shares or a redemption of Exchangeable Shares by Exchangeco, as the case may be, including all such actions and all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit Exchangeco to deliver or cause to be delivered Parent Shares or other property to the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5, 6 or 7, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Share Provisions;

(a)  

	
as is equal to the sum of (i) the number of Exchangeable Shares issued and outstanding from time to time and (ii) the number of Exchangeable Shares issuable upon the exercise of all rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares outstanding from time to time; and

(b)

on the same date on which notice of redemption is given to holders of Exchangeable Shares, upon the determination of a Redemption Date in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions;

as soon as practicable upon the issuance by Exchangeco of any Exchangeable Shares or rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares (other than the issuance of Exchangeable Shares and rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Acquisition); and

 

	
(f)  

	
promptly, upon receiving notice of a Change of Law (as such term is defined in the Exchange Agreement).

All such Parent Shares shall be duly authorized and validly issued as fully paid, non-assessable, free of pre-emptive rights and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance.  In consideration for the issuance and delivery of each such Parent Share, Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, shall subscribe a cash amount or pay a purchase price equal to the fair market value of the Parent Shares, and the Parent shall contribute or cause to be contributed to the capital of Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, the cash necessary for Callco or Exchangeco, as the case may be, to effect such subscription or payment.

 

	
2.6  

	
Qualification of Parent Shares

 

	
(a)  

	
The Parent covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to make such filings and seek such regulatory consents and approvals, if any, as are necessary so that the Parent Shares to be issued to holders of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement and this Agreement will be issued in compliance with the applicable securities laws in Canada and the United States (other than by reason of a holder being a ‘‘control person’’ of the Parent for purposes of Canadian federal, provincial or territorial securities laws or by holders who are Affiliates of the Parent within the meaning of U.S. securities laws). The Parent will in good faith expeditiously take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to cause all Parent Shares to be delivered hereunder to be listed, quoted and posted for trading on all stock exchanges and quotation systems on which outstanding Parent Shares have been listed by the Parent and remain listed and are quoted or posted for trading at such time.

 

	
(b)  

	
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, or any term of this Agreement, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement or the Exchange Agreement, no Parent Shares shall be issued (and the Parent will not be required to issue any Parent Shares) in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Exchangeco, or any retraction, redemption or any other exchange, direct or indirect, of Exchangeable Shares, if such issuance of Parent Shares would not be permitted by applicable laws.

2.7  

	
Economic Equivalence

 

So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its affiliates are outstanding:

The Parent shall not without prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions:

 

	
(i)  

	
issue or distribute Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than an issue of Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) to holders of Parent Shares (A) who exercise an option to receive dividends in Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends or (B) pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or similar arrangement; or

 

	
(ii)  

	
issue or distribute rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares entitling them to subscribe for or to purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares); or

 

	
(iii)  

	
issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares (A) shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), (B) rights, options, warrants or other assets other than those referred to in Section 2.7(a)(ii), (C) evidence of indebtedness of the Parent or (D) assets of the Parent,

 

unless, in each case, (x) Exchangeco is permitted under applicable law to issue or distribute the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such rights, options, warrants, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets to holders of the Exchangeable Shares and (y) Exchangeco shall issue or distribute the economic equivalent of such rights, options, warrants, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets simultaneously to holders of the Exchangeable Shares, provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by the Parent in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement.

 

	
(b)  

	
The Parent shall not without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions:

 

	
(i)  

	
subdivide, redivide or change the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares; or

 

	
(ii)  

	
reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares; or

 

	
(iii)  

	
reclassify or otherwise change Parent Shares or effect an amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Shares;

 

unless, in each case, (x) Exchangeco is permitted under applicable law to make the same or an economically equivalent change to, or in the rights of holders of, the Exchangeable Shares, and (y) the same or an economically equivalent change is made simultaneously to, or in the rights of the holders of, the Exchangeable Shares, provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by the Parent in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Exchange Agreement.

 

  

6

  

 

	
(c)  

	
The Parent shall ensure that the record date for any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) or, if no record date is applicable for such event, the effective date for any such event is not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such event is declared or announced by the Parent (with contemporaneous notification thereof by the Parent to Exchangeco).

 

	
(d)  

	
The board of directors of Exchangeco shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion (with the assistance of such financial or other advisors as the board of may determine), “economic equivalence” for the purposes of any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or Section 2.7(b) and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Parent.  In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the board of directors of Exchangeco to be relevant, be considered by the board of directors of Exchangeco:

 

	
(i)  

	
in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Shares previously outstanding;

 

	
(ii)  

	
in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant, the Current Market Price of a Parent Share, the volatility of Parent Shares and the terms of any such instrument;

 

	
(iii)  

	
in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including any shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 2.7(d)(ii), any evidences of indebtedness of the Parent or any assets of the Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of Exchangeco in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Share and the Current Market Price of a Parent Share;

 

	
(iv)  

	
in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares or any amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Parent Shares; and

 

	
(v)  

	
in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing withholding taxes and marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).

 

	
(e)  

	
Exchangeco agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from the Parent, Exchangeco shall use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken such steps as may be necessary for the purposes of ensuring that appropriate dividends are paid or other distributions are made by Exchangeco, or subdivisions, redivisions or changes are made to the Exchangeable Shares, in order to implement the required economic equivalence with respect to the Parent Shares and Exchangeable Shares as provided for in this Section 2.7.

 

	
2.8  

	
Tender Offers

 

In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to Parent Shares (an “Offer”) is proposed by the Parent or is proposed to the Parent or its shareholders and is recommended by the board of directors of the Parent, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of the Parent, and the Exchangeable Shares are not redeemed by Exchangeco or purchased by the Parent or Callco pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, the Parent and Exchangeco will use reasonable best efforts to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than the Parent and its affiliates) to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Parent Shares, without discrimination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent and Exchangeco will use reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares may participate in each such Offer without being required to retract Exchangeable Shares as against Exchangeco (or, if so required, to ensure that any such retraction shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer).  Nothing herein shall affect the rights of Exchangeco to redeem, or the Parent or Callco to purchase pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, Exchangeable Shares in the event of a Parent Control Transaction.

 

  

7

  

 

	
2.9  

	
The Parent and Affiliates Not to Vote Exchangeable Shares

 

Each of the Parent and Callco covenants and agrees that it shall appoint and cause to be appointed proxyholders with respect to all Exchangeable Shares held by it and its affiliates for the sole purpose of attending each meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares in order to be counted as part of the quorum for each such meeting. Each of the Parent and Callco further covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its affiliates not to, exercise any voting rights which may be exercisable by holders of Exchangeable Shares from time to time pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (or any successor or other corporate statute by which Exchangeco may in the future be governed) with respect to any Exchangeable Shares held by it or by its affiliates in respect of any matter considered at any meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares, provided however, for further clarity, that this Section 2.9 shall not in any way restrict Callco’s right to vote its common shares of Exchangeco in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions.

 

	
2.10  

	
Ordinary Market Purchases

 

For certainty, nothing contained in this Agreement, including the obligations of the Parent contained in Section 2.8, shall limit the ability of the Parent (or any of its affiliates) to make ordinary market purchases of Parent Shares in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory or stock exchange requirements.

 

	
2.11  

	
Ownership of Outstanding Shares

 

Without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11(b) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Parent covenants and agrees in favour of Exchangeco that, as long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by the Parent or its affiliates are outstanding, the Parent will be and remain the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Exchangeco and Callco.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent shall not be in violation of this Section 2.11 if any person or group of persons acting jointly or in concert acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent or the Parent Shares pursuant to any merger of the Parent pursuant to which the Parent was not the surviving corporation.

 

 

ARTICLE 3

(a)

Successorship Transaction

in which the Parent merges or amalgamates with, or in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares are acquired by, one or more other corporations to which the Parent is, immediately before such merger, amalgamation or acquisition, “related” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (otherwise than by virtue of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) thereof);

 

	
(b)  

	
which does not result in an acceleration of the Redemption Date in accordance with paragraph (b) of that definition; and

 

	
(c)  

	
in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Shares are converted into or exchanged for shares or rights to receive such shares (the “Other Shares”) or another corporation (the “Other Corporation”) that, immediately after such Parent Control Transaction, owns or controls, directly or indirectly, the Parent;

 

then all references herein to “the Parent” shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to “Other Corporation” and all references herein to “Parent Shares” shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to “Other Shares” (with appropriate adjustments if any, as are required to result in a holder of Exchangeable Shares on the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or Article 4 of the Exchange Agreement or exchange of such shares pursuant to the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement immediately subsequent to the Parent Control Transaction being entitled to receive that number of Other Shares equal to the number of Other Shares such holder of Exchangeable Shares would have received if the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or Article 4 of the Exchange Agreement, or exchange of such shares pursuant to the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement had occurred immediately prior to the Parent Control Transaction and the Parent Control Transaction was completed) without any need to amend the terms and conditions of the Exchangeable Shares and without any further action required.

Term

 

This Agreement shall come into force and be effective as of the date hereof and shall terminate and be of no further force and effect at such time as no Exchangeable Shares (or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares) are held by any person other than the Parent and any of its affiliates.

(d)  

	
making such changes or corrections hereto which, on the advice of counsel to the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco, are required for the purpose of curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error contained herein, provided that the boards of directors of each of the Parent, Callco and Exchangeco shall be of the good faith opinion that such changes or corrections will not be prejudicial in any material respect to the rights or interests of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares as a whole.
