3. Purchase and Offering of Offered Securities. The obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Securities will be evidenced by an agreement (the “Terms Agreement”) at the time the Company determines to sell the Offered Securities. The Terms Agreement will incorporate by reference the provisions of this agreement, except as otherwise provided therein, and will specify the firm or firms that will be the Underwriters, the names of any Representatives, the principal amount to be purchased by each Underwriter, the purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters and the terms of the Offered Securities not already specified in the Indenture, including, but not limited to, interest rate, maturity, any redemption provisions and any sinking fund requirements. The Terms Agreement will also specify the time and date of delivery and payment (such time and date, or such other time not later than seven full Business Days thereafter as the Underwriter first named in the Terms Agreement (the “Lead Underwriter”) and the Company agree as the time for delivery and payment, being herein referred to as the “Closing Date” and in the Terms Agreement referred to as the “Closing”), the place of delivery and payment and any details of the terms of offering that should be reflected in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the Offered Securities. For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, the Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable settlement date) shall be the date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Offered Securities sold pursuant to the offering, other than Contract Securities (as defined below) for which payment of funds and delivery of securities shall be as hereinafter provided. The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Securities will be several and not joint. It is understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Securities for sale as set forth in the Prospectus.

On the Closing Date, the Company will pay, as an underwriting fee in respect of the public distribution of the Offered Securities, to the Underwriters, the fee set forth in the Terms Agreement (the “Underwriting Fee”). Such Underwriting Fee may be paid by the Company to the Underwriters by setting off the Underwriting Fee payable by the Company to the Underwriters against the amount payable by the Underwriters to the Company as the purchase price for the Offered Securities.

If the Terms Agreement specifies “Book-Entry Only” settlement or otherwise states that the provisions of this paragraph shall apply, the Company will deliver against payment of the purchase price the Offered Securities in the form of one or more permanent global securities in definitive form (the “Global Securities”) deposited with the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Interests in any permanent global securities will be held only in book-entry form through DTC, except in the limited circumstances described in the Prospectus. Payment for the Offered Securities shall be made by the Underwriters in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to an account previously designated by the Company at a bank acceptable to the Lead Underwriter, in each case drawn to the order of the Company at the place of payment specified in the Terms Agreement on the Closing Date, against delivery to the Trustee as custodian for DTC of the Global Securities representing all of the Offered Securities.

Each Underwriter agrees that it will not offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any of the Offered Securities in any jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted. Each Underwriter further agrees that it will not (i) offer or sell, directly or indirectly, any Offered Securities in Canada or any province or territory thereof or to any resident of Canada, (ii) distribute any material related to the Offered Securities in Canada in contravention of the securities laws of Canada or any province or territory thereof and (iii) that any selling or similar agreement with respect to the Offered Securities will require each selling firm to make an agreement to the same effect.

(b) Amendments or Supplements to Registration Statement or Prospectus. The Company will advise the Lead Underwriter promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus and will, subject to compliance in a timely manner with its disclosure obligations under applicable securities legislation or requirements of any relevant stock exchange rules, afford the Lead Underwriter a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement; and the Company will also advise the Lead Underwriter promptly of the filing of any such amendment or supplement and of the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of

the Registration Statement or of any part thereof and will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.

(c) Term Sheet. The Company will prepare a final term sheet relating to the Offered Securities containing only information that describes the final terms of the Offered Securities and otherwise in a form consented to by the Lead Underwriter, and will file such final term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date such final terms have been established for all classes of the Offered Securities. Any such final term sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this agreement. The Company also consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that contains only (i) (A) information describing the preliminary terms of the Offered Securities or their offering or (B) information that describes the final terms of the Offered Securities or their offering and that is included in the final term sheet of the Company contemplated in the first sentence of this subsection or (ii) other information that is not “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act, it being understood that any such free writing prospectus referred to in clause (ii) above shall not be an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this agreement.

(d) Material Changes. If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is (or, but for the exemption provided by Rule 172 under the Securities Act, would be) required to be delivered under the Securities Act in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act or applicable Canadian Securities Laws, the Company promptly will notify the Lead Underwriter of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Qualifying Authorities and the Commission, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement that will correct such statement or omission or an amendment that will effect such compliance. Neither the Lead Underwriter’s consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof.

(e) Delivery of Earnings Statement. As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months after the date of each Terms Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of such Terms Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) and Rule 158 under the Securities Act.

The Company will also deliver to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters copies of all correspondence with the Qualifying Authorities relating to any proposed or requested exemptions from the requirements of applicable Canadian Securities Laws relating to the Canadian Prospectus or the Shelf Securities. The Company has delivered to each Underwriter, without charge, as many English language commercial copies of the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus as such Underwriter has reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the Securities Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when a prospectus is required by the Securities Act or the Securities Act Regulations to be delivered in connection with sales of the Offered Securities, such number of copies of the English language U.S. Final Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (each as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The copies of the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to XXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

To the extent required to facilitate the offering of Offered Securities, the Company will cooperate with the Representatives and with counsel for the Underwriters in connection with the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Lead Underwriter may reasonably designate and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Offered Securities; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified, to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Offered Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now subject or to subject itself to taxation as doing business in any such jurisdiction.

(h) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this agreement, including (i) the preparation, printing and filing, as applicable, of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits and the Form F-X) as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, the U.S. Shelf Prospectus, the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Final Prospectus, the Canadian Shelf Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses and any Supplementary Material and any amendments or supplements thereto, and the cost of furnishing copies thereof to the Underwriters, (ii) the preparation, printing and delivery to the Underwriters of the Terms Agreement (including this agreement), any agreement among Underwriters, the

Indenture and such other documents as may be required in connection with the offering, purchase, sale, issuance or delivery of the Offered Securities; provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not include the fees of counsel to the Underwriters in connection with the foregoing, (iii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the certificates for the Offered Securities to the Underwriters, including any charges of DTC in connection therewith, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, accountants and other advisers, (v) the qualification of the Offered Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Lead Underwriter may reasonably designate, including filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection therewith and in connection with the preparation of any Blue Sky Survey and any supplement thereto, (vi) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of the U.S. Shelf Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the U.S. Final Prospectus, the Canadian Shelf Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Final Prospectus, and Supplementary Material and any amendments or supplements thereto, (vii) the printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of any Blue Sky Survey and any supplement thereto, (viii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Offered Securities, (ix) the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriters in connection with compliance with the rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and (x) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Offered Securities, including without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged in connection with the road show presentations, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and the cost of aircraft and other transportation chartered in connection with the road show and any fees payable in connection with the rating of the Offered Securities. Except as indicated above in this paragraph, it is understood that the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of their counsel and certain advertising expenses in connection with any offer the Underwriters make with respect to the Offered Securities.

(i) Taxes. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters against any documentary, stamp or similar issue tax under the laws of Canada, including any interest and penalties payable thereon, payable by the Underwriters on the creation, issue and sale of the Offered Securities to the Underwriters as contemplated hereby and on the execution and delivery of the Terms Agreement. All payments to be made by the Company to the Underwriters hereunder shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada), unless the Company is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties or charges. In the event and to the extent the Underwriters cannot claim or otherwise take advantage of a tax credit, refund or exemption for Canadian tax withheld, the Company shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Underwriters after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made.

(j) Lock-up. The Company will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to United States dollar-denominated debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue, or publicly

disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of the Lead Underwriter for the period, if any, specified in the Terms Agreement.

(k) Use of Proceeds. The Company expects to apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities substantially in accordance with the description set forth in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

5. Free Writing Prospectus. (a)(i) The Company represents and agrees that, other than the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof, without the prior consent of the Representatives, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405;

(ii) each Underwriter represents and agrees that, without the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives, other than one or more term sheets relating to the Offered Securities containing customary information and conveyed to purchasers of Offered Securities, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission; and

(iii) any such free writing prospectus the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Representatives is listed on Schedule B to the Terms Agreement;

(b) The Company has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 and Rule 164 under the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission or retention where required and legending; and

(c) The Company agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus or as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if republished immediately following such event or development, would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Company will give prompt notice thereof to the Representatives, will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission and, if requested by the Representatives, will prepare and furnish without charge to each Underwriter such amended or supplemented Issuer Free Writing Prospectus; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by an Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

6. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Offered Securities will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the accuracy of the

statements of the Company’s officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:

(a) Company Comfort Letter. At the time of the execution of this Agreement, the Representatives shall have received from KPMG LLP a letter dated such date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives, together with signed or reproduced copies of such letter for each of the other Underwriters, containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information relating to the Company included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package.

(b) Prospectus Filed; No Stop Order. The Canadian Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the Qualifying Authorities under the Shelf Procedures and the U.S. Final Prospectus shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to General Instruction II.L of Form F-10 and in accordance with Section 4(a) of this Underwriting Agreement. The final term sheet contemplated by Section 4(c) hereof, and any other material required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, shall have been filed with the Commission within the applicable time periods prescribed for such filings by Rule 433 under the Securities Act. At the Closing Date, (i) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or any Underwriter, shall be threatened by the Commission; (ii) no stop order suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission; (iii) no order having the effect of ceasing or suspending the distribution of the Offered Securities shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Qualifying Authorities; and (iv) all requests for additional information on the part of the Qualifying Authorities or the Commission shall have been complied with to the Representatives’ reasonable satisfaction.

(c) No Material Adverse Change. Subsequent to the execution of the Terms Agreement, there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as one enterprise that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Company by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as such term is used in relation to Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchanges, or any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange; (iv) any banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal, New York or Canadian Federal

authorities; or (v) any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United States or Canada is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or the Government of Canada or any other substantial national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Representatives, the effect of any such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities.

(d) Opinion of Canadian and U.S. Counsel to the Company. The Representatives shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, Canadian counsel to the Company, substantially in the form included as Exhibit A, and an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Xxxxx Day, United States counsel to the Company, substantially in the form included as Exhibit B.

(e) Opinion of Canadian Tax Counsel to the Company. The Representatives shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Canadian tax counsel to the Company, to the effect that, subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and conditions set out therein, the statements made in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus relating to Canadian federal income tax laws under the heading “Certain Income Tax Considerations—Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as they relate to matters of Canadian federal income tax law, constitute a fair summary of the matters so discussed and applicable to the holders of Offered Securities described therein in all material respects.

(f) Opinion of Counsel to the Underwriters. The Representatives shall have received from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to such matters as the Representatives may require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(g) Officer’s Certificate. The Representatives shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the Chief Financial Officer or other officer of Company satisfactory to the Lead Underwriter, acting reasonably, in which such officer, to the best of his knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state on behalf of the Company that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this agreement are true and correct, (ii) the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any part thereof has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to their knowledge, are threatened by the Commission, and (iv) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements in the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as one enterprise, except as set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus or as described in such certificate.

(h) Bring-down Company Comfort Letter. The Representatives shall have received a letter, dated the Closing Date, of KPMG LLP which meets the requirements of subsection (a) of

this Section, except that the specified date referred to in such subsection will be a date not more than three days prior to the Closing Date for the purposes of this subsection.

The Company will furnish the Representatives with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Representatives reasonably request. The Lead Underwriter may waive on behalf of the Underwriters compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Underwriters under this agreement and the Terms Agreement, provided that each Representative has consented to such waiver.

7. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Indemnification of the Underwriters by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, applicable Canadian Securities Laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Canadian Shelf Prospectus, U.S. Shelf Prospectus, U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information, if any, furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in the Terms Agreement.

(b) Indemnification of the Company by the Underwriters. Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon

(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Canadian Shelf Prospectus, the U.S. Shelf Prospectus, the U.S. Preliminary Prospectus, the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Supplementary Material, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information, if any, furnished to the Company by such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding whatsoever (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in the Terms Agreement.

(c) Actions Against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or behalf of an

indemnified party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties not having actual or potential differing interests. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above 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 on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total Underwriting Fee received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim that is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered 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 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) Obligations in Addition to Other Liabilities. The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability that the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each

director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed the Registration Statement or the Canadian Base Shelf Prospectus and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act.

8. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities under the Terms Agreement and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of Offered Securities, the Lead Underwriter may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments under the Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this agreement), to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Offered Securities and arrangements satisfactory to the Lead Underwriter and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, the Terms Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 9. As used in this agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to the Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this agreement) will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If the Terms Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 4 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 7 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than because of the termination of the Terms Agreement pursuant to Section 8 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 6(c), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to them at their address furnished to the Company in writing for the purpose of communications hereunder or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at 000 00xx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X0X 0X0, Tel.: (000) 000-0000, Fax: (000) 000-0000, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

11. Successors. The Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this agreement) will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and such Underwriters as are identified in the Terms Agreement and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 7, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

12. Representation of Underwriters. Any Representatives will act for the several Underwriters in connection with the financing described in the Terms Agreement, and any action under such Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this agreement) taken by the Representatives jointly or by the Lead Underwriter will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

13. Counterparts. The Terms 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.

14. Applicable Law. This agreement and the Terms Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws.

15. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of the Terms Agreement (including the provisions of this agreement) or the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System, 00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, as its authorized agent in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to the Company by the person serving the same to the address provided in Section 10, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding. The Company further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such agent in full force and effect for a period of six years from the date of the Terms Agreement.

16. Judgment Currency. The obligation of the Company in respect of any sum due to any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first Business Day following receipt by such Underwriter of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) such Underwriter may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency; if the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter thereunder, the Company agrees, as a separate and independent obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter thereunder, such Underwriter agrees to pay promptly to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter thereunder.

17. Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriters are required to obtain,

verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

18. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (i) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity (as defined below) becomes subject to a proceeding under either of (a) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or (b) Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder (each, a “U.S. Special Resolution Regime”), the transfer from such Underwriter of this agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States; (ii) in the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or an affiliate pursuant to the meaning assigned to the term in and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k) (a “BHC Act Affiliate”) of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, default rights, pursuant to the meaning assigned to the term in and interpreted in accordance with 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable (“Default Rights”) under this agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

“Covered Entity” means any of (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
