Xxxxxx Securities Inc. and UBS Securities LLC are acting as representatives (in such capacity, the “Representatives”), with respect to (i) the sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the respective numbers of common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) set forth in Schedules A and B hereto and (ii) the grant by the Selling Shareholders to the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of the option described in Section 2(b) hereof to purchase all or any part of 1,578,947 additional Common Shares to cover overallotments, if any. The aforesaid 10,526,316 Common Shares (the “Initial Securities”) to be purchased by the Underwriters and all or any part of the 1,578,947 Common Shares subject to the option described in Section 2(b) hereof (the “Option Securities”) are herein called, collectively, the “Securities.”

The Company and the Selling Shareholders understand that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of the Securities in the United States, and each of the provinces and territories of Canada (the “Qualifying Jurisdictions”), either directly or through their respective U.S. or Canadian broker-dealer affiliates, as soon as the Representatives deem advisable after this Agreement has been executed and delivered.

The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that up to 500,000 Initial Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters (the “Reserved Securities”) shall be reserved for sale to certain persons designated by the Company (the “Invitees”), as part of the distribution of the Securities by the Underwriters, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the applicable rules, regulations and interpretations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Company solely determined, without any direct or indirect participation by the Underwriters, the Invitees who will purchase Reserved Securities (including the amount to be purchased by such persons) sold by the Underwriters. To the extent that such Reserved Securities are not orally confirmed for purchase by Invitees by 8:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the first business day after the date of this Agreement, such Reserved Securities may be offered to the public as part of the public offering contemplated hereby.

The Company has filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form F-1 (No. 333-163930), including the related preliminary prospectus or prospectuses, covering the registration of the sale of the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file a prospectus in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430A (“Rule 430A”) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1933 Act (the “1933 Act Regulations”) and Rule 424(b) (“Rule 424(b)”) of the 1933 Act Regulations. The information included in such prospectus that was omitted from such registration statement at the time it became effective but that is deemed to be part of such registration statement at the time it became effective pursuant to Rule 430A(b) is herein called the “Rule 430A Information.” Such registration statement, including the amendments thereto, the exhibits thereto and any schedules thereto, at the time it became effective, and including the Rule 430A Information, is herein called the “Registration Statement.” Any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations is herein called the “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement” and, after such filing, the term “Registration Statement” shall include the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement. Each prospectus used in the United States prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and each prospectus used in the United States that omitted the Rule 430A Information that was used after such effectiveness and prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, is herein called a “U.S. Preliminary Prospectus.” The final U.S. prospectus, in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, is herein called the “U.S. Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“XXXXX”).

In addition, the Company (A) has prepared and filed with the Qualifying Authorities a final PREP prospectus relating to the Securities (in the English and French languages, as applicable, the “Final PREP Prospectus”) which omits the PREP Information (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the PREP Procedures, and (B) will, promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, prepare and file with the Qualifying Authorities, in accordance with the PREP Procedures, a supplemented PREP prospectus setting forth the PREP Information (in the English and French languages, as applicable, the “Supplemented PREP Prospectus”).

The information included in the Supplemented PREP Prospectus that is omitted from the Final PREP Prospectus and which is deemed under the PREP Procedures to be incorporated by reference in the Final PREP Prospectus as of the date of the Supplemented PREP Prospectus is referred to herein as the “PREP Information”.

Each Preliminary PREP Prospectus is herein called a “Canadian Preliminary Prospectus”. The Final PREP Prospectus for which a final Passport System decision document has been received from the Principal Regulator on behalf of itself and the other Qualifying Authorities, including the PREP Information incorporated by reference therein, is herein referred to as the “Canadian Prospectus”, except that, if, after the execution of this Agreement, a Supplemented PREP Prospectus containing the PREP Information is filed with the Qualifying Authorities, the term “Canadian Prospectus” shall refer to such Supplemented PREP Prospectus. As used herein, “Canadian Securities Laws” means, collectively, the applicable securities laws of each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions and the respective regulations and rules made under those securities laws together with all applicable policy statements, blanket orders and rulings of the Qualifying Authorities. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to any Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Qualifying Authorities pursuant to the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”).

The Company has also prepared and filed, in accordance with Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), a registration statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-34699) to register, under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, the Common Shares (the “Form 8-A”).

(xxiv) Accounting Controls and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined under Rule 13-a15 and 15d-15 under the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1934 Act (the “1934 Act Regulations”)) and a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as described in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses, since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (1) no material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (2) no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company and each of its subsidiaries maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 under the 1934 Act Regulations) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

(xxv) Compliance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company or any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with any applicable provision of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), including Section 402 related to loans and Sections 302 and 906 related to certifications.

The United States, UK and Canadian federal income tax returns of the Company through, in each case, the most recent fiscal year end for which such tax returns are due to be filed have been settled and no assessment in connection therewith has been made against the Company. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all other tax returns that are required to have been filed by them pursuant to applicable foreign, state, provincial, municipal, local or other law except insofar as the failure to file such returns would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, and has paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company and its subsidiaries, except for such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been established by the Company. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of any income and corporation tax liability for any years not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments or re-assessments for additional income tax for any years not finally determined, except to the extent of any inadequacy that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect. The statements set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectuses under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders,” insofar as they purport to describe the tax consequences to holders of the ownership and disposition of the Securities or legal conclusions with respect thereto, and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, are a fair and accurate summary of the matter set forth therein.

The Company has not offered, or caused the Representatives to offer, Reserved Securities to any person with the specific intent to unlawfully influence (i) a customer or supplier of the Company or any of its affiliates to alter the customer’s or supplier’s level or type of business with any such entity or (ii) a trade journalist or publication to write or publish favorable information about the Company or any of its affiliates, or their respective businesses or products.

(a) Initial Securities. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, (i) the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, at the price per share set forth in Schedule A, the number of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule B opposite the name of the Company, and (ii) each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company, at the price per share set forth in Schedule A, the number of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter, plus any additional number of Initial Securities which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, subject, in each case, to such adjustments among the Underwriters as Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.

(b) Option Securities. In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Selling Shareholders, acting severally and not jointly, hereby grant an option to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to an additional 1,578,947 Common Shares, as set forth in Schedule B, at the price per share set forth in Schedule A, less an amount per share equal to any dividends or distributions declared by the Company and payable on the Initial Securities but not payable on the Option Securities. The option hereby granted will expire 30 days after the date hereof and may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time only for the purpose of covering overallotments made in connection with the offering and distribution of the Initial Securities upon notice by the Representatives to the Selling Shareholders setting forth the number of Option Securities as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Securities. Any such time and date of delivery (a “Date of Delivery”) shall be determined by the Representatives, but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the Closing Time. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Securities, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Securities then being purchased which the number of Initial Securities set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Initial Securities, subject, in each case, to such adjustments as Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.

(c) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, the Initial Securities shall be made at the offices of Osler, Xxxxxx & Harcourt LLP in Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company, at 8:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the third (fourth, if the pricing occurs after 4:30 P.M. (New York City time) on any given day) business day after the date hereof (unless postponed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10), or such other time not later than ten business days after such date as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Company (such time and date of payment and delivery being herein called “Closing Time”).

In addition, in the event that any or all of the Option Securities are purchased by the Underwriters, payment of the purchase price for, and delivery of certificates for, such Option Securities shall be made at the above-mentioned offices, or at such other place as shall be agreed upon by the Representatives and the Selling Shareholders, on each Date of Delivery as specified in the notice from the Representatives to the Selling Shareholders.

Payment shall be made to the Company and the Selling Shareholders by wire transfer of immediately available funds to bank accounts designated by the Company and the Selling Shareholders, as the case may be, against delivery to the Representatives for the respective accounts of the Underwriters of certificates for the Securities to be purchased by them. It is understood that each Underwriter has authorized the Representatives, for its account, to accept delivery of, receipt for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, which it has agreed to purchase. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, individually and not as representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment of the purchase price for the Initial Securities or the Option Securities, if any, to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received by the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, but such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from its obligations hereunder.

Certificates for the Initial Securities and the Option Securities, if any, shall be in such denominations and registered in such names as the Representatives may request in writing at least one full business day before the Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and of the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions, or in connection with any violation of the nature referred to in Section 6(f) hereof, which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, on the other hand, in each case as set forth on the cover of the U.S. Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Securities as set forth on the cover of the U.S. Prospectus.

The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholders or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or any violation of the nature referred to in Section 6(f) hereof.

The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, (i) no Selling Shareholder shall be required to contribute in the aggregate under this Agreement any amount in excess of the Selling Shareholder Amount received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Securities sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder, and (ii) no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter’s Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, any Canadian Preliminary Prospectus or the Canadian Prospectus, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or such Selling Shareholder, as the case may be. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Initial Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint. The Selling Shareholders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule B hereto and not joint.

The provisions of this Section shall not affect any agreement among the Company and the Selling Shareholders with respect to contribution.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or the Selling Shareholders submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or its Affiliates or selling agents, any person controlling any Underwriter, its officers or directors, any person controlling the Company or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination. The Representatives may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectuses, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or Canada or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in the United States, Canadian or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representatives, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission, any Qualifying Authority or other securities commission or regulatory authority in Canada or the Nasdaq Global Market, or (iv) if trading generally on the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, any Qualifying Authority or other securities commission or regulatory authority in Canada, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or (v) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or Canada or with respect to Clearstream or Euroclear systems in Europe, or (vi) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either United States federal, New York state or Canadian authorities.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 15 and 16 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at Closing Time or a Date of Delivery to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representatives shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representatives shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(i) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(ii) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the number of Securities to be purchased on such date, this Agreement or, with respect to any Date of Delivery which occurs after the Closing Time, the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase, and the Company to sell, the Option Securities to be purchased and sold on such Date of Delivery shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default. The foregoing sentence shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement or, in the case of a Date of Delivery which is after the Closing Time, which does not result in a termination of the obligation of the Underwriters to purchase and the Company to sell the relevant Option Securities, as the case may be, either (i) the Representatives or (ii) the Company and any Selling Shareholder shall have the right to postpone Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectuses or in any other documents or arrangements. As used throughout this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

SECTION 11. Default by one or more of the Selling Shareholders or the Company. (a) If a Selling Shareholder shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery, as the case may be, to sell and deliver the number of Securities which such Selling Shareholder or Selling Shareholders are obligated to sell hereunder, and the remaining Selling Shareholders do not exercise the right hereby granted to increase, pro rata or otherwise, the number of Securities to be sold by them hereunder to the total number to be sold by all Selling Shareholders as set forth in Schedule B hereto, then the Underwriters may, at the option of the Representatives, by written notice from the Representatives to the Company and the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders, either (i) terminate this Agreement without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting party except that the provisions of Sections 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 15 and 16 shall remain in full force and effect or (ii) elect to purchase the Securities which the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders and the Company have agreed to sell hereunder. No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve any Selling Shareholder so defaulting from liability, if any, in respect of such default.

In the event of a default by any Selling Shareholder as referred to in this Section 11, each of the Representatives, the Company and the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders shall have the right to postpone the Closing Time or any Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required change in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectuses or in any other documents or arrangements.

(b) If the Company shall fail at the Closing Time or a Date of Delivery, as the case may be, to sell the number of Securities that it is obligated to sell hereunder, then this Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any nondefaulting party; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 15 and 16 shall remain in full force and effect. No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve the Company from liability, if any, in respect of such default.

SECTION 12. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be directed to (i) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx at Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, attention of Syndicate Department, with a copy to ECM Legal, (ii) X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Equities Syndicate Desk (Fax: 000-000-0000), and (iii) UBS Securities LLC at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000-0000, Attention: Syndicate Department (Fax: 000-000-0000), with a copy for information purposes to UBS Securities LLC, 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxxxxx, XX, 00000, Attention: Legal and Compliance Department (Fax: 000-000-0000); notices to the Company shall be directed to it at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X0X 0X0, attention Chief Financial Officer (facsimile: (000)-000-0000), with a copy to General Counsel (facsimile: (000) 000-0000); and notices to the Selling Shareholders shall be directed to the Selling Shareholders at their respective addresses set forth on Schedule B.

SECTION 13. No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Company and each Selling Shareholder, severally and not jointly, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, including the determination of the initial public offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Shareholders, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other hand, (b) in connection with the offering of the Securities and the process leading thereto, each Underwriter is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any Selling Shareholder, or its respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (c) no Underwriter has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Selling Shareholder with respect to the offering of the Securities or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any Selling Shareholder on other matters) and no Underwriter has any obligation to the Company or any Selling Shareholder with respect to the offering of the Securities except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (d) the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of each of the Company and each Selling Shareholder, and (e) the Underwriters have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the offering of the Securities and the Company and each of the Selling Shareholders has consulted its own respective legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

SECTION 14. Parties. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and their respective successors. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, firm or corporation, other than the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and their respective successors and the controlling persons and officers and directors referred to in Sections 6 and 7 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders and their respective successors, and said controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives, and for the benefit of no other person, firm or corporation. No purchaser of Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

Any affiliate of any Underwriter which is duly qualified and authorized to sell the Securities in Canada pursuant to the Canadian Prospectus and offers and sells the Securities in the Qualifying Jurisdictions or any affiliate of any Underwriter that signs the Canadian Prospectus shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 1(a), the representations and warranties of the Selling Shareholders contained in Section 1(b), the covenants of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in Section 3, the indemnification and contribution obligations of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in Sections 6 and 7, and the officers’ certificates, legal opinions and other documents required to be delivered to the Underwriters pursuant hereto, and each such affiliate shall have the right to enforce such provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an Underwriter.

SECTION 15. TRIAL BY JURY. THE COMPANY (ON ITS BEHALF AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ON BEHALF OF ITS SHAREHOLDERS AND AFFILIATES), EACH OF THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS AND EACH OF THE UNDERWRITERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS.

SECTION 17. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) shall be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York, Borough of Manhattan, unless any such Federal court determines that it lacks jurisdiction over a Related Proceeding in which case such Related Proceeding shall be instituted in the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in the City and County of New York, Borough of Manhattan (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any such court (a “Related Judgment”), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party not located in the United States irrevocably appoints Corporation Service Company as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any such suit, action or proceeding that may be instituted in any state or federal court in the City and County of New York. With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect to any Related Judgment, each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or Related Judgment, including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended.

SECTION 18. TIME. TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, SPECIFIED TIMES OF DAY REFER TO NEW YORK CITY TIME.

SECTION 19. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

SECTION 20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

SECTION 21. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 22. Judgment Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than United States dollars, the Company and the Selling Shareholders, severally and not jointly, will indemnify each Underwriter against any loss incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the rate of exchange at which an Underwriter is able to purchase United States dollars with the amount of Judgment Currency actually received by such Underwriter; provided, however, that any liability of any Selling Shareholder under this Agreement shall be limited, in the aggregate, to the Selling Shareholder Amount received by such Selling Shareholder from the sale of Securities sold by such Selling Shareholder hereunder. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholders, severally and not jointly, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into United States dollars.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company and the Selling Shareholders a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the Underwriters, the Company and the Selling Shareholders in accordance with its terms.

Exhibit A

FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S U.S. COUNSEL

TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(c)

(i) Each of Mitel U.S. Holdings, Inc., Mitel (Delaware), Inc. and Mitel Networks, Inc. is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware with corporate power and authority under such law to conduct its business as described in the Prospectuses.

(ii) Insofar as New York law governs the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

(iii) No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any United States federal or New York governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, except as have been obtained and are in full force and effect under the 1933 Act or as may be required by the securities or Blue Sky laws of any jurisdiction in the United States in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities by the Underwriters.

(iv) The execution and delivery by the Company of the Purchase Agreement does not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder will not (a) result in a breach of, a default under or the acceleration of (or entitle any party to accelerate) the maturity of any obligation of the Company under, or result in or require the creation of any lien upon or security interest in any property of the Company pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or document listed in Schedule A to such counsel’s opinion or (b) result in a violation of Generally Applicable Law. “Generally Applicable Law” means the federal law of the United States of America, and the law of the State of New York (including the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or pursuant thereto), that a New York lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably be expected to recognize as being applicable to the Company, the Purchase Agreement or the transactions governed by the Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing definition of Generally Applicable Law, the term “Generally Applicable Law” does not include any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to the Company, the Purchase Agreement or such transactions solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any party to the Purchase Agreement or any of its affiliates due to the specific assets or business of such party or such affiliate.

(v) The statements in the Prospectuses under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of legal matters referred to therein, fairly summarize in all material respects the legal matters referred to therein.

(vi) The Company is not, and after the issuance of the Securities and the use of proceeds therefrom as contemplated in the Prospectuses will not be, required to register as an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.

(vii) Assuming the validity of such action under the laws of Canada, under the laws of the State of New York relating to submission to jurisdiction, the Company (i) has, pursuant to Section 17 of the Purchase Agreement, validly submitted to the jurisdiction of any New York state or United States federal court located in The City of New York, New York, in any action or proceeding arising out of or with respect to the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) has validly appointed Corporation Services Company as its authorized agent for the purposes described in Section 17 of the Purchase Agreement; and service of process effected in the manner set forth in Section 17 of the Purchase Agreement will be effective under the laws of the State of New York in connection with any such action or proceeding.

Such counsel shall also state that (i) it has reviewed the Notice of Effectiveness on the Commission’s XXXXX system, which states that the Registration Statement became effective under the 0000 Xxx at [ ] [a.m.][p.m.], New York City time, on [ ], 2010, (ii) it has reviewed the U.S. Prospectus on the Commission’s XXXXX system and, based on the date of the Purchase Agreement, it appears that the U.S. Prospectus was filed with the Commission within the time period required by Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, and (iii) on [ ], 2010, a member of the staff of the Commission advised such counsel orally that there was no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

A-1

Such counsel shall also state, in a separate letter, words substantially to the following effect:

(a) each of the Registration Statement and the U.S. Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other financial data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel shall not be required to express an opinion) appears on its face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the 1933 Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and

(b) no facts came to such counsel’s attention which caused them to believe that (i) the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements and other financial data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel has not been requested to comment), at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) the General Disclosure Package (other than the financial statements and other financial data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel has not been requested to comment), as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) the U.S. Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other financial data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel has not been requested to comment), as of its date or the date of such letter, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials.

A-2

Exhibit B

FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S CANADIAN COUNSEL

TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(d)

(i) The Company is a corporation existing in good standing under the federal laws of Canada.

(ii) The Company has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Prospectuses and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement.

(iii) The Company is duly qualified as an extra-provincial corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each province and territory in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business.

(iv) The authorized share capital of the Company is as set forth in the Prospectuses in the column entitled “Actual” under the caption “Capitalization”. The Initial Securities, including the Securities to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Selling Shareholders, have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

(v) The attributes of the Common Shares conform in all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectuses.

(vi) The Securities have been duly authorized for issuance and sale to the Underwriters pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and, when issued and delivered by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement against payment of the consideration set forth in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

(vii) All necessary corporate actions have been taken by the Company to authorize (A) the execution and delivery of each Canadian Preliminary Prospectus and the Canadian Prospectus and the filing thereof with Qualifying Authorities, (B) the execution and delivery of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and the filing thereof with the Commission, and (C) the execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder.

(viii) The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized and, to the extent that execution and delivery are matters governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, executed and delivered by the Company.

(ix) A final Passport System decision document has been obtained from the Principal Regulator on behalf of itself and the other Qualifying Authorities in respect of the Final PREP Prospectus and all necessary documents have been filed, all requisite proceedings have been taken and all necessary authorizations, approvals, permits, consents and orders have been obtained under the securities laws of each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions to qualify the distribution of the Securities to the public in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions through registrants registered under applicable securities laws of the Qualifying Jurisdictions who have complied with the applicable provisions of such securities laws. For purposes of this paragraph, “securities laws” means the applicable securities laws and the respective regulations and rules made under those securities laws together with all applicable policy statements, blanket orders and rulings of the applicable securities regulatory authorities.

(x) The Canadian Prospectus and each amendment or supplement to the Canadian Prospectus (other than the financial statements and supporting schedules included therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we need express no opinion), as of its respective issue date, complied as to form in all material respects with the securities laws of the Province of Ontario and the regulations and rules made under those securities laws together with all applicable policy statements, blanket orders and rulings of the applicable securities regulatory authorities of the Province of Ontario.

(xi) The form of certificate used to evidence the Common Shares has been duly approved and adopted by the Company and complies with any applicable requirements of the charter and by-laws of the Company and with the provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act relating thereto.

(xii) To our knowledge, there is not pending or threatened any action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party, or to which the property of the Company or any subsidiary is subject, before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder.

B-1

(xiii) To our knowledge, no order having the effect of ceasing or suspending the distribution of the Securities or the trading in the Common Shares has been issued by any securities regulatory authority in the Qualifying Jurisdictions and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or contemplated.

(xiv) The information in the Prospectuses under the caption “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders” and in the Registration Statement under “Part II – Information Not Required in the Prospectus – Indemnification of Directors and Officers” has been reviewed by us and is correct in all material respects and our opinion in the Canadian Prospectus under the caption “Eligibility for Investment” is confirmed.

(xv) All descriptions in the Prospectuses of the documents identified on Exhibit A to such counsel’s opinion are accurate in all material respects.

(xvi) Except for the requirement to file the Underwriting Agreement on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR), no filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency located in the Qualifying Jurisdictions is necessary or required in connection with the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement.

(xvii) All documents have been filed, all proceedings have been taken and all legal requirements have been fulfilled by the Company to qualify the Securities for distribution and sale to the public in each of the Qualifying Jurisdictions through investment dealers or brokers registered under the applicable laws of the Qualifying Jurisdictions who have complied with the relevant provisions of such applicable laws.

(xviii) The execution, delivery and performance of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and in the Prospectuses (including the issuance and sale of the Securities) and compliance by the Company with its obligations under the Purchase Agreement do not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined in Section 1(a)(xv) of the Purchase Agreement) under or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or any other agreement or instrument identified in Exhibit B to such counsel’s opinion, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company, or any applicable Ontario law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree, known to us, of any government, government instrumentality or court of the Qualifying Jurisdictions having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary or any of their respective properties, assets or operations.

(xix) To our knowledge, there are no persons with registration rights or other similar rights to have any securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise registered by the Company under the 1933 Act or qualified for distribution under Canadian Securities Laws, other than those rights that have been disclosed in the Prospectuses and have been waived.

(xx) BNY Mellon has been duly appointed as the transfer agent and registrar for the Common Shares.

(xxi) In any proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Province of Ontario (an “Ontario Court”) for the enforcement of the Purchase Agreement, an Ontario Court would apply the laws of the State of New York (“New York Law”), in accordance with the parties’ choice of New York Law in the Purchase Agreement, to all issues which under the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws applicable in the Province of Ontario (“Ontario Law”) are to be determined in accordance with the chosen law of the contract, provided that:

(a)

The parties’ choice of New York Law is bona fide and legal and is not contrary to public policy, as such term is interpreted under Ontario Law (“Public Policy”). We have no reason to believe that the choice of New York Law in this context is contrary to Public Policy;

B-2

(b)

In any such proceeding, an Ontario Court:

(i)

will not take judicial notice of the provisions of New York Law but will only apply such provisions if they are pleaded and proven by expert testimony;

(ii)

will apply Ontario Law to matters which would be chararacterized as procedural under Ontario Law;

(iii)

will apply provisions of Ontario Law that have overriding effect;

(iv)

will not apply any New York Law if its application would be contrary to Public Policy;

(v)

will not apply any New York Law if such application would be characterized under Ontario Law as the direct or indirect enforcement of a foreign revenue, expropriatory, penal or other public law; and

(vi)

will not enforce the performance of any obligation that is illegal under the laws of any jurisdiction in which the obligation is to be performed; and

(c)

an Ontario Court has discretion to decline to hear an action if:

(i)

it is contrary to Public Policy;

(ii)

it is not the proper forum to hear such an action; or

(iii)

another action is properly pending before, or a decision has been rendered by, a foreign authority relating to the same cause of action.

We have no reason to believe that it would be contrary to Public Policy for an Ontario Court to hear an action to enforce the Purchase Agreement in Ontario.

(xxii) In an action on a final and conclusive judgment in personam of any Specified Court that is not impeachable as void or voidable under New York law, an Ontario Court would give effect to the appointment by the Company of Corporation Service Company as the Company’s agent to receive service of process in the United States of America under the Purchase Agreement and to the provisions in the Purchase Agreement whereby the Company submits to the non exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court.

(xxiii) An Ontario Court would give a judgment based upon a final and conclusive in personam judgment of a Specified Court for a sum certain, obtained against the Company with respect to a claim arising out of the Purchase Agreement (a “New York Judgment”) without reconsideration of the merits provided that:

(a)

an action to enforce the New York Judgment must be commenced in an Ontario Court within any applicable limitation period;

(b)

an Ontario Court has discretion to stay or decline to hear an action on the New York Judgment if such judgment is under appeal, or there is another subsisting judgment in any jurisdiction relating to the same cause of action;

(c)

an Ontario Court will render judgment only in Canadian dollars; and

(d)

an action in an Ontario Court on the New York Judgment may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally;

and provided further, an Ontario Court will not give such judgment if:

(e)

the New York Judgment was obtained by fraud or in a manner contrary to the principles of natural justice;

(f)

the New York Judgment is for a claim which would be characterized as based on foreign revenue, expropriatory, penal or other public law under Ontario Law;

B-3

(g)

the New York Judgment is contrary to Public Policy or to an order made by the Attorney General of Canada under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or by the Competition Tribunal under the Competition Act (Canada) in respect of certain judgments referred to in such statutes; or

(h)

the New York Judgment has been satisfied or is void or voidable under New York Law.

(xxiv) All laws of the Province of Québec relating to the use of the French language (other than those relating to oral communications as to which we express no opinion) will have been complied with in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities to purchasers in the Province of Québec if such purchasers have received copies of the Offering Documents in the French language only or in both the English and French languages, together with, in each case, a form of order and confirmation in the French language only or in a bilingual form.

(xxv) No stamp or other issuance or transfer taxes or duties or goods and services tax or withholding taxes are payable by or on behalf of the Underwriters to the Government of Canada or the Government of Ontario or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency thereof or therein having power to tax in connection with (A) the issue, sale and delivery of the Securities by the Company to or for the respective accounts of the Underwriters or (B) the sale and delivery outside Canada by the Underwriters of the Securities in the manner contemplated in the Purchase Agreement.

Nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the Canadian Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (excluding the financial statements and related schedules and information derived therefrom or any other financial data included therein or omitted therefrom), as of its issue date, at the time any such amended or supplemented prospectus was issued or at the Closing Time, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances in which they were made. In addition, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the documents included in the General Disclosure Package (which, for purposes of this paragraph shall be defined as the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectuses issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the Final PREP Prospectus and the information included on Schedule C-1 hereto, all considered together), excluding the financial statements and related schedules and information derived therefrom or any other financial data included therein or omitted therefrom, as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of circumstances under which they were made. For purposes of this paragraph, references to “material fact” are to that term as defined in Section 1 of the Securities Act (Ontario). With respect to statements contained in the General Disclosure Package, any statement contained in any of the constituent documents shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that any information contained in subsequent constituent documents modifies or replaces such statement.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely, (A) as to matters involving the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Province of Ontario, Alberta and Quebec or the federal laws of Canada, upon the opinion of local Canadian counsel of good standing (which opinion shall be dated and furnished to the Underwriters at the Closing Time, shall be satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the Underwriters and shall expressly state that the Underwriters may rely on such opinion as if it were addressed to them), provided that Osler, Xxxxxx & Harcourt LLP shall state in their opinion that they believe that they and the Underwriters are justified in relying upon such opinion, and (B) as to matters of fact (but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. Such opinion shall not state that it is to be governed or qualified by, or that it is otherwise subject to, any treatise, written policy or other document relating to legal opinions, including, without limitation, the Legal Opinion Accord of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991).

Dear Sirs:

The undersigned, a securityholder and/or an officer and/or director of Mitel Networks Corporation, a Canadian corporation (the “Company”), understands that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co., Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated and X.X. Xxxxxx Securities Inc. (together, the “Representatives”) propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company and certain selling shareholders of the Company providing for the initial public offering of common shares, no par value (“Common Shares”), of the Company. In recognition of the benefit that such an offering will confer upon the undersigned as a securityholder and/or an officer and/or director of the Company, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with each underwriter to be named in the Purchase Agreement that, during a period of 180 days from the date of the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or file, or cause to be filed, any registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any prospectus under any applicable Canadian securities laws, with respect to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”) or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the restrictions contained herein shall not apply to: (a) transfers of Common Shares or any security convertible into Common Shares as a bona fide gift, (b) distributions of Common Shares or any security convertible into Common Shares to limited partners or shareholders of the undersigned, (c) transactions effected in accordance with any recapitalization of the Company as described in the prospectus, (d) tenders pursuant to a bona fide third party take-over bid made to all holders of Common Shares or similar acquisition transaction provided that, in the event that the bid or acquisition transaction is not completed, any securities tendered will remain subject to the restrictions contained in this undertaking, (e) transfers to (i) a spouse, parent, child or grandchild of the undersigned (a “Relation”), (ii) a trust the only beneficiaries of which are any of the undersigned and/or one or more of its affiliates or Relations, (iii) a corporation or other entity of which any of the undersigned and/or its affiliates or Relations are at all times the direct or indirect legal and beneficial owners of all of the outstanding securities or similar interests, or (iv) a partnership, the partners of which are exclusively the undersigned and/or its affiliates or Relations; or (f) transfers of Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering; provided that in the case of (f) no filing or disclosure under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or section 107 of the Securities Act (Ontario) or other applicable securities laws shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of the Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares acquired in such open market transactions; and further provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (e), the Representatives receive a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the lock-up period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be.

D-1

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if:

(1) during the last 17 days of the 180-day lock-up period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or

(2) prior to the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results or becomes aware that material news or a material event will occur during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 180-day lock-up period,

the Representatives may extend, by written notice to the Company, the restrictions imposed by this lock-up agreement until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable.

The undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that written notice of any extension of the 180-day lock-up period pursuant to the previous paragraph will be delivered by the Representatives to the Company (in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) and that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned. The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this lock-up agreement during the period from the date of this lock-up agreement to and including the 34^th day following the expiration of the initial 180-day lock-up period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the 180-day lock-up period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Lock-Up Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

This agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no force and effect (i) if the registration statement relating to the initial public offering has been withdrawn for any reason prior to the consummation of the offering, (ii) upon the delivery of written notice by the Company to the Representatives prior to the effective date of the registration statement of the initial public offering that it is no longer interested in pursuing the initial public offering at the time of such notice or (iii) if no Common Shares have been purchased and paid for pursuant to the Purchase Agreement by September 30, 2010.
