Parent will not without the prior approval of ExchangeCo and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Share Provisions: |

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

|
- 5 - |
|
|
(i) |
in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Common Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Common Shares previously outstanding; |
|
|
(ii) |
in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common Shares (or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo in the manner above contemplated) of a Parent Common Share; |
|
|
(iii) |
in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including without limitation any shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Common Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 2.7(d)(ii) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Parent or any assets of 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 Common Share and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo in the manner above contemplated) of a Parent Common Share; |
|
|
(iv) |
in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Common Shares into a greater number of Parent Common Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Common Shares into a lesser number of Parent Common Shares or any amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Common Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Parent Common 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 Common 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 marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares). |
For purposes of the foregoing determinations, the current market value of any security listed and traded or quoted on a securities exchange shall be the weighted average of the daily trading prices of such security during a period of not less than 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than three trading days before the date of determination on the principal securities exchange on which such securities are listed and traded or quoted; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo the public distribution or trading activity of such securities during such period does not create a market which reflects the fair market value of such securities, then the current market value thereof shall be determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo, in good faith and in its sole discretion, and provided further that any such determination by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo shall be conclusive and binding on Parent.
|
- 6 - |
|
|
(e) |
ExchangeCo agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from Parent, ExchangeCo will 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 equivalent with respect to the Parent Common 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 for the purpose of acquiring the Parent Common Shares (an “Offer”) is proposed by Parent or is proposed to Parent or its shareholders and is recommended by the Board of Directors of Parent, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the Board of Directors of Parent, and the Exchangeable Shares are not redeemed by ExchangeCo pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, Parent will use its reasonable efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of Exchangeable Shares to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Parent Common Shares, without discrimination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent will use its reasonable efforts expeditiously and in good faith to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares may participate in all such Offers 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 the Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer). Nothing herein shall affect the rights of ExchangeCo to redeem Exchangeable Shares, as applicable, in the event of a Parent Control Transaction.
|
2.9 |
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 10.2 of the Share Provisions, Parent covenants and agrees in favour of ExchangeCo that, as long as any outstanding Exchangeable Shares are owned by any person or entity other than Parent or any of its Affiliates, Parent will be and remain the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding voting shares in the capital of ExchangeCo.
|
2.10 |
Parent and Affiliates Not to Vote Exchangeable Shares |
Parent covenants and agrees that it will 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. Parent further covenants and agrees that it will not, and will 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 Share Provisions or pursuant to the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act (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.
|
2.11 |
Rule 10b-18 Purchases |
For certainty, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations of Parent contained in Section 2.8 hereof, shall limit the ability of Parent or ExchangeCo to
|
- 7 - |
make a “Rule 10b-18 Purchase” of Parent Common Shares pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor provisions thereof.
