In order to apply the provisions concerning the restrictions on the issue, transfer, ownership, control or voting of Exchangeable Units set out in this Agreement, the General Partner may, in its entire discretion:

(i)

require a person in whose name any Class A Exchangeable Units are registered to provide a statutory declaration under the Canada Evidence Act or otherwise concerning whether the Unitholder or beneficial owner is a Qualified Canadian (a “Declaration”);

(ii)

require any Person seeking to have a transfer of any Class A Exchangeable Units registered in his or her name or to have any Class A Exchangeable Units issued to him or her to provide a Declaration; and

(iii)

determine the circumstances in which any Declarations are required, their form and the times when they are to be provided.

(e)

The General Partner may, when it deems it appropriate in order to apply the provisions concerning the restrictions on the ownership, control or voting of Exchangeable Units set forth in this Agreement:

(i)

name and sign any contract with third persons, namely in order to assist in obtaining and following-up on the Declarations and various information it requires; and

(ii)

implement all control mechanisms and adopt all the procedures it may require from time to time, and in particular, to implement and adopt certificates of control of the Qualified Canadian or non-Qualified Canadian status of the Unitholders.

(f)

When a holder of Exchangeable Units is required to provide a Declaration or any other information required pursuant to this Section 3.13 and fails to comply with such obligation, the General Partner may, until such Unitholder has provided the Declaration or the information concerned, exchange any issued and outstanding Class A Exchangeable Units held by or on behalf of such person into Class B Exchangeable Units without any further act of such person and recognize all ownership rights attributable to the applicable Exchangeable Units, including the voting rights attached to such Exchangeable Units, on an as exchanged for Class B Exchangeable Units basis.

(g)

A Limited Partner may not transfer its Exchangeable Units, in whole or in part, to any Person, except as set out in Section 3.18 and as follows:

(i)

In the case of a natural person, upon their demise, to their estate and heirs;

(ii)

In the case of a Person that is not a natural person, (A) by operation of Law upon a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction or (B) pursuant to a transfer in which, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the basis of the Exchangeable Unit in the hands of the

transferee is determined, in whole or in part, by reference to its basis in the hands of the transferor or is determined under section 732 of the Code; and

(iii)

Exchanges of Units as provided in Section 3.13(a).

(h)

The term “transfer,” when used in this Agreement with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall mean, and shall be deemed to refer to: (x) any direct conveyance of any Partnership Interest; and (y) any transaction by which the Record Holder of a Partnership Interest conveys any Partnership Interest to another Person, including by way of a sale, assignment, gift, exchange or any other disposition by Law or otherwise (excluding any grant of a pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest, but not excluding a conveyance as a result of the foreclosure of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest).

(i)

The Registrar and Transfer Agent is hereby appointed registrar and transfer agent for the purpose of registering Units and transfers of Units as herein provided. Upon delivery of evidence of compliance with this Section 3.13 and an instrument of transfer (including the name, status as to Qualified Canadian, tax identification number (if applicable), address and email address for each transferee as required for inclusion in the Record) in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner, the General Partner shall update the Record to reflect the transfer and shall execute and deliver, and the Registrar and Transfer Agent shall countersign and deliver, a statement evidencing the transfer (a “Confirmation”).

(j)

The Partnership shall not recognize any transfer of Units until a Confirmation is delivered. No charge shall be imposed by the Partnership for any transfer of Units.

(k)

By acceptance of the transfer of any Unit, each transferee of a Unit (including any nominee holder or an agent or representative acquiring such Units for the account of another Person) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Partner with respect to the Units so transferred to such transferee when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the Record, (ii) shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) shall become the Record Holder of the Units so transferred (subject to Section 3.13(a)), (iv) grants powers of attorney to the General Partner, as specified herein, and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement. The transfer of any Units and the admission of any new Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement.

(l)

No change of name or address of a Limited Partner, no transfer of a Unit and no admission of a substituted Limited Partner in the Partnership will be effective for the purposes of this Agreement until the requirements set out in this Article 3 have been satisfied, and until that change, transfer, substitution or addition is duly reflected in an amendment to the Record as may be required by the Act. The names and addresses of the Limited Partners as reflected from time to time in the Record, as from time to time amended, will be conclusive as to those facts for all purposes of the Partnership.

(m)

Where the transferee complies with all applicable provisions and is entitled to become a Limited Partner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, subject to Section 3.13(k), the General Partner shall admit the transferee to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner and the Limited Partners hereby consent to the admission of, and will admit, the transferee to the Partnership as a Limited Partner, without further act of the Limited Partners (other than as may be required by Law).

3.17	Non-Recognition of Trusts or Beneficial Interests

Units may be held by nominees on behalf of the beneficial owners of the Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in this Agreement, as required by Law or as recognized by the General Partner in its sole discretion, no Person will be recognized (including in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code) by the Partnership or any Limited Partner as holding any Unit in trust, or on behalf of another Person with the beneficial interest in that other Person, and the Partnership and Limited Partners will not be bound or compelled in any way to recognize (even when having actual notice) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Unit or in any fractional part of a Unit or any other rights in respect of any Unit except an absolute right to the entirety of the Unit in the Limited Partner shown on the Record as holder of that Unit.

3.18	Incapacity, Death, Insolvency or Bankruptcy

Where a Person becomes entitled to Units on the incapacity, death, insolvency, or bankruptcy of a Limited Partner, or otherwise by operation of law, in addition to the requirements of Section 3.13, that entitlement will not be recognized or entered into the Record until that Person:

3.21	Indirect Transfers of Interests

(a)

Polaris represents and warrants that it is the sole record and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding voting and equity interests in Rover. For so long as Rover is a Unitholder, Polaris shall not, directly or indirectly, permit the transfer of its interest in Rover or engage in one or more transactions that have the effect of reducing the economic exposure of Polaris to the Exchangeable Units held by Rover, it being understood that pledging (or engaging in a similar transaction with the same effect) by Polaris of its interest in Rover to secure bona fide borrowings which have recourse to Polaris and are not in default shall not be deemed to be a violation of this provision; provided, however, that Polaris shall be permitted to transfer its interest in Rover, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates that are directly or indirectly wholly-owned and controlled by Polaris; provided further, that prior to such transferee ceasing to be a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Polaris, it shall transfer such interest back to Polaris or a direct or indirect wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of Polaris, and all such transferees shall, prior to any such transfer, have and be subject to all of the obligations of Polaris hereunder pursuant to documentation approved in writing by the General Partner.

(b)

For so long as any Meteor Entity is a Unitholder, the applicable Meteor Fund shall not, directly or indirectly, permit the transfer of its interest in such Meteor Entity or engage in one or more transactions that have the effect of reducing the economic exposure of such Meteor Fund to the Exchangeable Units held by such Meteor Entity, it being understood that pledging (or engaging in a similar transaction with the same effect) by such Meteor Fund of its interest in the applicable Meteor Entity to secure bona fide borrowings which have recourse to such Meteor Fund and are not in default shall not be deemed to be a violation of this provision; provided, however, that a Meteor Fund shall be permitted to transfer its interest in a Meteor Entity, in whole or in part, to any of its Affiliates that are directly or indirectly wholly-owned and controlled by one or more Meteor Funds; provided further, that prior to such transferee ceasing to be a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of one or more Meteor Funds, it shall transfer such interest back to the Meteor

Funds or a direct or indirect wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of the Meteor Funds, and all such transferees shall, prior to any such transfer, have and be subject to all of the obligations of the Meteor Funds hereunder pursuant to documentation approved in writing by the General Partner.

3.22	Record Holders

In accordance with Section 3.13, the Partnership shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the Limited Partner with respect to any Units and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Units on the part of any other Person, whether or not the Partnership shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring and/or holding Units, as between the Partnership on the one hand and such other Person on the other hand, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Units.

3.23	Acquisition Proposals: TopCo and the Partnership

For so long as Exchangeable Units remain Outstanding (not including Exchangeable Units held by the General Partner and its Subsidiaries):

(a)

no tender offer, share exchange offer, formal issuer bid, formal take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to TopCo Shares (a “TopCo Offer”) will be proposed or recommended by the General Partner or the General Partner’s Board of Directors or otherwise effected with the consent or approval of the General Partner’s Board of Directors unless the holders of Exchangeable Units (other than the General Partner and its Subsidiaries) are entitled to participate in such TopCo Offer to the same extent and on an equitably equivalent basis as the holders of TopCo Shares, without discrimination. The General Partner will use its commercially reasonable efforts expeditiously and in good faith to put in place procedures or to cause the Registrar and Transfer Agent to put in place procedures to ensure that, the holders of Exchangeable Units may participate in such TopCo Offer by exercising their Exchange Right (conditional upon and subject to the TopCo Shares tendered or deposited under such TopCo Offer being taken up); and

(b)

no tender offer, share exchange offer, formal issuer bid, formal take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to Exchangeable Units (a “Units Offer”) will be proposed or recommended by the General Partner or the General Partner’s Board of Directors or otherwise effected with the consent or approval of the General Partner’s Board of Directors unless the holders of TopCo Shares (other than the General Partner and its Subsidiaries) are entitled to participate in such Units Offer to the same extent and on an equitably equivalent basis as the holders of Exchangeable Units, without discrimination.

3.24	General Partner and Subsidiaries Not to Vote Exchangeable Units

The General Partner covenants and agrees in favor of the Partnership that it will appoint and cause to be appointed proxyholders with respect to all Exchangeable Units held by it and its Subsidiaries for the sole purpose of attending each meeting of holders of Exchangeable Units in order to be counted as part of the quorum for each such meeting. The General Partner further covenants and agrees that it will not, and will cause its Subsidiaries not to, exercise any voting rights which may be exercisable by holders of Exchangeable Units from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to the provisions of the Voting Agreement (or any successor or other corporate statute by which the Partnership may in the future be governed) with respect to any Exchangeable Units held by it or by its Subsidiaries in respect of any matter considered at any meeting of holders of Exchangeable Units or, except in express compliance with the Voting Agreement, at any meeting of the holders of TopCo Shares.

3.25	Attributes of Class X Units

The holders of Class X Units as a class shall be entitled to receive distributions as provided by Section ‎5.3(b)(i) and the aggregate amount of $1,000 on the redemption thereof.

ARTICLE 4
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOUNTS

4.1	General Partner Contribution

The General Partner has made an initial contribution of $[500] to the capital of the Partnership and will make subsequent capital contributions prior to the Merger Effective Time of Transit shares and CanHoldco shares as part of the Integration.

4.2	Limited Partner and General Partner Contributions

In respect of the Exchangeable Units issued to the Limited Partners, the Capital Contribution in respect of each Exchangeable Unit issued to a Limited Partner will be equal to the fair market value of property exchanged by such Partner in consideration for such Exchangeable Unit. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no obligation pursuant to this Agreement for any Limited Partner to make additional Capital Contributions. In respect of the GP Units issued to the General Partner, the aggregate Capital Contribution in respect of the GP Units will be equal to the fair market value of the property and cash contributed to the Partnership by the General Partner in consideration for such GP Units. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, the fair market value of any property contributed to the Partnership shall be determined by the General Partner. For purposes of determining the amount of any Capital Contribution made pursuant to the Integration in exchange for Exchangeable Units or GP Units, the per share fair market value of a Xxx share shall be $[●] and the per share fair market value of a Transit share shall be $[●]. The aggregate fair market value of the Transit shares contributed to the Partnership by Topco pursuant to the Integration shall be equal to the product of the per share value of a Transit share in the preceding sentence multiplied by the total number of Transit shares contributed to Topco pursuant to the Transaction Agreement.

4.3	Maintenance of Capital Accounts

(a)

There shall be established for each Partner on the books of the Partnership as of the date such Partner becomes a Partner a capital account (each being a “Capital Account”). Each Capital Contribution by any Partner, if any, shall be credited to the Capital Account of such Partner on the date such Capital Contribution is made to the Partnership. In addition, each Partner’s Capital Account shall be (a) credited with (i) such Partner’s allocable share of any Net Income of the Partnership and any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(b), and (ii) the amount of any Partnership liabilities that are assumed by the Partner or secured by any Partnership property distributed to the Partner, (b) debited with (i) the amount of distributions (and deemed distributions) to such Partner of cash or the Carrying Value of other property so distributed, (ii) such Partner’s allocable share of Net Loss of the Partnership and any items in the nature of deduction or loss that are specially allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(b), and (iii) the amount of any liabilities of the Partner assumed by the Partnership or which are secured by any property contributed by the Partner to the Partnership and (c) otherwise maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations. Any other item which is required to be reflected in a Partner’s Capital Account under Section 704(b) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations or otherwise under this Agreement shall be so reflected. The General Partner shall make such adjustments to Capital Accounts as it determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate to ensure allocations are made in accordance with a Partner’s interest in the Partnership. Interest shall not be payable on Capital Account balances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the General Partner shall maintain the Capital Accounts of the Partners in accordance with the principles and requirements set forth in Section 704(b) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

(b)

A transferee of Units shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor based on the number of Units so transferred.

(c)

The Partnership shall revalue the Capital Accounts of the Partners in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (a “Revaluation”) at the following times: (i) immediately prior to the contribution of more than a de minimis amount of money or other property to the Partnership by a new or existing Partner as consideration for one or more Units; (ii) the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property in respect of one or more Units; (iii) the issuance by the Partnership of more than a de minimis amount of Units as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership (as described in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5)(iii)); and (iv) the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g); provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be made only if the General Partner reasonably determines that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Partners.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the General Partner shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to give economic effect to the manner in which distributions are made to the Partners pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5.3, 5.4 and 13.3, the General Partner may make such modification.

ARTICLE 5
PARTICIPATION IN PROFITS AND LOSSES

5.1	Allocation for Capital Account Purposes

(a)

After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 5.1(b), Net Income (Net Loss) of the Partnership for each Fiscal Year or other taxable period shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Partners as follows:

(i)

After giving effect to the Required Allocations, Net Income for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof) shall be allocated among the Partners so as to reduce, proportionally, the differences between their respective Target Capital Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such Fiscal Year. No portion of the Net Income for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to a Partner whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than or equal to the Partner’s Target Capital Account for such Fiscal Year.

(ii)

After giving effect to the Required Allocations, Net Loss for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners so as to reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts and Target Capital Accounts for such Fiscal Year. No portion of the Net Loss for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to a Partner whose Target Capital Account is less than or equal to the Partner’s Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such Fiscal Year.

(b)

Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, the following special allocations shall be made for each Fiscal Year or other taxable period:

(i)

Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, each Partner shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provision. For purposes of this Section 5.1(b)(i), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) with respect to such taxable period (other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 5.1(b)(iii) and 5.1(b)(iv)). This Section 5.1(b)(i) is intended to

comply with the Partnership Minimum Gain chargeback requirement in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii)

Chargeback of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.1 (other than Section 5.1(b)(i)), except as provided in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Partnership taxable period, any Partner with a share of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 5.1(b)(ii), each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income and gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), other than Section 5.1(b)(i) and other than an allocation pursuant to Sections 5.1(b)(v) and (vi), with respect to such taxable period. This Section 5.1(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the chargeback of items of income and gain requirement in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii)

Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Sections 5.1(b)(i) or (ii). This Section 5.1(b)(iii) is intended to qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv)

Gross Income Allocations. In the event any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable period in excess of the sum of (A) the amount such Partner is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and (B) the amount such Partner is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5), such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership gross income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(iv) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account as adjusted after all other allocations

provided for in this Section 5.1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.1(b)(iv) were not in this Agreement.

(v)

Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the holders of the GP Units and the Exchangeable Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the General Partner determines that the Partnership’s Nonrecourse Deductions should be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is authorized to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio that does satisfy such requirements.

(vi)

Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated 100% to the Partner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Partner bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt, such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Partners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

(vii)

Nonrecourse Liabilities. Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership described in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner chosen by the General Partner and consistent with such U.S. Treasury Regulations.

(viii)

Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

(ix)

Curative Allocation.

(A)

The Required Allocations are intended to comply with certain requirements of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, all Required Allocations shall be offset either with other Required Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(ix). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 5 (other than the

Required Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Required Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to the economic agreement among the Partners.

(B)

The General Partner shall, with respect to each taxable period, (1) apply the provisions of Section 5.1(b)(ix)(A) in whatever order is most likely to minimize the economic distortions that might otherwise result from the Required Allocations, and (2) divide all allocations pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ix)(A) among the Partners in a manner that is likely to minimize such economic distortions.

(x)

Partnership Recourse Liabilities. Any guarantee of Partnership debt by the General Partner shall not be taken into account for purposes of Section 752 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

5.2	Allocation of Net Income and Losses for Tax Purposes

(a)

Except as otherwise provided herein, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of Net Income or Net Loss is allocated pursuant to Section 5.1(a).

(b)

In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Partnership and with respect to reverse Code Section 704(c) allocations described in U.S. Treasury Regulations 1.704-3(a)(6) shall, solely for U.S. tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Property to the Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its initial Carrying Value or its Carrying Value determined pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (computed in accordance with the definition of Carrying Value) using any allocation method under U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3 as the General Partner may decide. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.2, Section 704(c) of the Code (and the principles thereof), and U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(c)

The income or loss for Canadian federal income tax purposes of the Partnership for a given Fiscal Year (or other taxable period) of the Partnership will be allocated to the Partners in accordance with the following:

(i)

The General Partner shall first be allocated an amount of income for the Fiscal Year (or other taxable period) equal to the aggregate amount of distributions made to the General Partner pursuant to Section 5.3(a) in the Fiscal Year plus any Unallocated Amounts from prior Fiscal Years (or other taxable periods); provided, however, that the amount of income allocated pursuant to this Section 5.2(c)(i) in a Fiscal Year (or other taxable period) shall not exceed the current tax deductions available to the General Partner (determined as if no amount would be allocated pursuant to Section 5.2(c)(ii) in respect of the Fiscal Year (or other taxable period)). The “Unallocated Amount” for a Fiscal Year (or other taxable period) shall be (1) the amount, if any, that the aggregate amount of distributions made to the General Partner pursuant to Section 5.3(a) in the Fiscal Year (or other taxable period) exceeds the current tax deductions available to the General Partner, determined as if no amount would be allocated pursuant to Section 5.2(c)(ii) in respect of the Fiscal Year (or other taxable period), less (2) any income of the Partnership for a subsequent Fiscal Year (or other taxable period) allocated to the General Partner in respect of such Unallocated Amount pursuant to this Section 5.2(c)(i).

(ii)The remaining income of the Partnership for the Fiscal Year (or other taxable period), if any, shall be allocated to the persons who were Partners during all or part of the Fiscal Year (or other taxable period) (each such person, a “Recipient”) by multiplying the remaining income by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which is the sum of the fair market value of all distributions received by the Recipient with respect to that Fiscal Year or other taxable period pursuant to Section 5.3 (other than Section 5.3(a)) and Section 5.4, and (2) the denominator of which is the aggregate fair market value of all distributions made to all Recipients by the Partnership with respect to that Fiscal Year or other taxable period pursuant to Section 5.3 (other than Section 5.3(a)) and Section 5.4; provided that if the denominator would be nil, such remaining income will instead be allocated:

(A)if Exchangeable Units are Outstanding, to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests; and

(B)if no Exchangeable Units are Outstanding, 99.999% to the General Partner and 0.001% to the holders of Class X Units or Class D Units, as applicable.

For the avoidance of doubt, a payment on redemption of a Class X Unit is not a distribution.

(iii)

If, with respect to a given Fiscal Year or other taxable period, the Partnership has a loss, the General Partner shall, acting reasonably and fairly, allocate the loss of the Partnership in the manner it considers appropriate in the circumstances.

(iv)

For the avoidance of doubt, the Partners acknowledge and agree that, in general, each Partner’s share of the income of the Partnership for purposes of the income tax laws of the United States (and the income tax laws of any other jurisdiction under the Laws of which any income of the Partnership is subject to income taxation) is intended to be the same as such Partner’s share of the income of the Partnership for Canadian federal income tax purposes, except to the extent of any difference arising solely because of one or more differences described in subsection 126(4.12) of the Tax Act. Accordingly, if the foregoing allocation provisions in this Section 5.2(c) result in an allocation of income of the Partnership for Canadian federal income tax purposes that would otherwise be inconsistent with the intention set forth in the preceding sentence, the General Partner may, acting reasonably, make such adjustments as are necessary for the purposes of allocating the income of the Partnership in a manner consistent with the intention set forth in the preceding sentence.

(v)

Income and loss of the Partnership for Canadian federal income tax purposes will be determined in accordance with the Tax Act.

(d)

The General Partner shall determine all matters concerning allocations for tax purposes not expressly provided for herein in its sole discretion. For the proper administration of the Partnership and for the preservation of uniformity of Units (or any portion or class or classes thereof), the General Partner may (i) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (x) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of U.S. Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) or Section 704(c) of the Code or (y) otherwise to preserve or achieve uniformity of Units (or any portion or class or classes thereof), and (ii) adopt and employ or modify such conventions and methods as the General Partner determines in its sole discretion to be appropriate for (A) the determination for U.S. federal income tax purposes of items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit and the allocation of such items among Partners and between transferors and transferees under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations, (B) the determination of the identities and tax classification of Partners, (C) the valuation of Partnership assets and the determination of tax basis, (D) the allocation of asset values and tax basis, and (E) the adoption and maintenance of accounting methods.

(e)

For purposes of determining the items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit allocable to any Partner for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to any period, such items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, quarterly or other basis, as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

(f)

Allocations that would otherwise be made to a Partner under the provisions of this Article 5 shall instead be made to the beneficial owner of Partnership Interests held by a nominee in any case in which the nominee has furnished the identity of such owner to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6031(c) of the Code or any other method determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion.

5.3	Distributions

The General Partner shall cause distributions to be made by the Partnership to the Partners only in accordance with this Section 5.3 and in the following order of priority:

(a)

Special TopCo Distribution. The General Partner may, in its sole discretion, from time to time cause cash (and, for the avoidance of doubt, only cash) distributions to be made by the Partnership to TopCo (which distributions shall be made without pro rata distributions to the other Partners) in such amounts as required for TopCo to pay:

(i)

any tax liabilities of TopCo (including any tax liabilities of TopCo resulting from allocations of taxable income related to the receipt of amounts pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) to the extent that the expenditure giving rise to the payment hereunder is not a deductible expense for the purposes of determining any income tax owed by TopCo), but excluding income taxes attributable to distributions (or allocations of income with respect to distributions) pursuant to Section 5.3(b);

(ii)

any operating, administrative and other similar costs incurred by TopCo (including (A) fees and expenses related to any audit of TopCo, (B) fees or other charges of TopCo related to the making of tax, regulatory and other filings, or rendering of periodic or other reports to any Governmental Authority or other agencies having jurisdiction over the business or assets of TopCo, (C) fees and expenses incurred by TopCo related to public or investor relations, (D) fees payable to the directors of TopCo, (E) payments in respect of indebtedness and equity securities of TopCo to the extent the proceeds are used or will be used by TopCo to pay expenses or other obligations described in this Section 5.3(a) (in each case only to the extent economically equivalent indebtedness or equity securities of the Partnership were not issued to TopCo), (F) indemnification obligations of TopCo owing to directors, officers, employees or other persons under TopCo’s articles, charter, by-laws or other constating documents or pursuant to written agreements with any such person, (G) obligations of TopCo in respect of director and officer insurance (including premiums therefor), and (H) payments pursuant to any legal, tax, accounting and other professional fees and expenses incurred by TopCo);

(iii)

any judgments, settlements, penalties, fines or other costs and expenses in respect of any claims against, or any litigation or proceedings involving, TopCo;

(iv)

fees and expenses (including any underwriters commissions) related to any securities offering, investment or acquisition transaction (whether or not successful) authorized by the board of directors of TopCo, including any payments required to be made by Topco pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, but excluding any selling or underwriting discounts or commissions or other expenses that are netted out pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(i) in determining the amount of the TopCo contribution pursuant to such Section;

(v)

other fees and expenses in connection with the maintenance of the existence of TopCo (including any costs or expenses associated with being a public company listed on a National Securities Exchange and compliance with applicable Laws or the requirements of a Governmental Authority); and

(vi)

any payments required to be made by TopCo pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreements.

For the avoidance of doubt, distributions made under this Section 5.3(a) may not be used to pay or facilitate dividends or distributions on the TopCo Shares and must be used solely for one of the express purposes set forth pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)

Pro Rata Distributions. After making any distributions required pursuant to Sections 5.3(a) and any distributions that have been deferred pursuant to clause (b) of the proviso to the first sentence of Section 5.4, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, from time to time in such amounts as it shall determine, cause distributions to be made by the Partnership to the Partners pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests, provided that:

(i)

prior to the Merger Effective Time, the first $1,000 of distributions shall be made to the holders of the Class X Units and the balance shall be made to the General Partner and the holders of the Class C Exchangeable Units in proportion to their respective Capital Accounts; and

(ii)

after the Merger Effective Time, if no Exchangeable Units are Outstanding, such further distributions shall be made 99.999% to the General Partner and 0.001% to the holder of the Class D Units.¹

5.4	Tax Distributions

In the event any Partner other than TopCo that is subject to U.S. federal income tax has Net Cumulative Taxable Income that exceeds zero, then on the next applicable Tax Distribution Date, the Partnership shall distribute to each Partner, whether or not such Partner is subject to U.S. federal income tax, its Assumed Tax Liability, less all prior distributions pursuant

¹	Note to Draft: We expect TopCo to adopt a dividend policy to immediately distribute out all of the 5.5 and (c) distributions in order to avoid “double dipping” by the Unit holders.

to Section ‎5.3 and this Section ‎5.4 paid in respect of such Partner’s Units, provided, however, that (a) TopCo shall be entitled to a distribution under this section only to the extent and in the amount that its Assumed Tax Liability exceeds the total of all amounts previously distributed to TopCo under Section 5.3 and this Section 5.4 and (b) the board of directors of the General Partner may in its sole discretion, after due consideration of and in accordance with the General Partner’s GP Duties, defer any distribution pursuant to this Section 5.4, as set forth in the following sentence. With respect to any distribution that is deferred pursuant to clause (b) of the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) such deferred distribution must be paid prior to or simultaneously with any distributions pursuant to Section 5.3(b), and no distribution shall be paid pursuant to Section 5.3(b) prior to the payment of such deferred distributions, and (ii) upon the payment of any such deferred distribution, the amount of such deferred distribution shall be increased at an annual rate of 10.0%, compounded daily, from the date on which such distribution would have otherwise been paid to the date on which such distribution is actually paid. Upon the exchange by a Partner of any Units for TopCo Shares, which exchange is completed following the deferral of any distribution pursuant to clause (b) of the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 5.4 but prior to the payment in full of such deferred distribution, this Section 5.4 shall survive with respect to such Person, for the benefit of such Person. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner will use its reasonable best efforts not to take any action, or do any thing, that would reasonably be expected to result in a distribution becoming payable pursuant to this Section 5.4 (without regard for any determination that may be made by the board of directors of the General Partner to defer such distribution pursuant to clause (b) of the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 5.4).

5.5	Distribution Mechanics

(a)

The General Partner shall cause the Partnership or any of its Affiliates to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code (including pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446 and 3406), the Tax Act, or any other federal, state, provincial, territorial, local or foreign Law. To the extent that the Partnership is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to any Partner, or to the extent that any payments made to the Partnership are subject to withholding as a result of such payments being attributable to any particular Partner, the General Partner may treat the amount withheld as a distribution of cash to such Partner in the amount of such withholding from or in respect of such Partner. In any such case, unless such amount was withheld from amounts otherwise distributable to such Partner hereunder, it shall be treated as an advance to such Partner which shall be repayable on demand and if not repaid may be set off against subsequent distributions to such Partner.

(b)

(i)

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5.5(a), the following provisions shall apply in respect of U.S. withholding taxes. If the Partnership has registered as a “withholding foreign partnership” as defined in Section 1.1441-5(c)(2)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations under the Code, provided a Limited Partner has delivered to the General Partner a properly

executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8EXP, or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the General Partner evidencing the Limited Partner’s exemption from U.S. withholding tax with respect to U.S. source interest or dividend income of the Partnership, the General Partner shall take such documentation into account and shall cause the Partnership not to withhold on any allocation of such income to the Limited Partner to the extent permitted to do so by applicable Law. If the Partnership has not registered as a withholding foreign partnership, the General Partner shall forward the IRS Form(s) W-8 supplied by the Limited Partner, along with IRS Form W-8IMY, to the relevant U.S. withholding agent in order to allow the Limited Partner to claim the benefit of any applicable exemption from U.S. withholding tax.

(ii)

The General Partner further agrees that, to the extent it is able to do so under applicable Law and provided that a Limited Partner has delivered to the General Partner evidence that is satisfactory to the General Partner, acting reasonably, that it is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act, the General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Canadian federal tax is withheld from payments made to the Partnership that are attributable to such Canadian resident Limited Partner, including without limitation providing Canada Revenue Agency Form NR302 to the payer if required by applicable Law or requested by the payer. The General Partner acknowledges that it has received evidence satisfactory to it that Rover is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act, and Rover agrees to confirm same to the General Partner if requested in writing.

(c)

In the event of the dissolution of the Partnership, all receipts received during or after the Fiscal Year quarter in which the liquidation of the Partnership occurs shall be applied and distributed solely in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 13.3.

(d)

To the extent requested in writing by a holder of Exchangeable Units at least 10 Business Days prior to the record date for any dividend or distribution pursuant to Section 5.3(b) or 5.4, the Partnership shall convert any dividend or distribution to be paid in Canadian dollars into United States dollars at such exchange rate as it is able to obtain. The Partnership shall not be liable for any currency exchange rate obtained in good faith.

(e)

Each distribution in respect of a Partnership Interest shall be paid by the Partnership, directly or through the Registrar and Transfer Agent or through any other Person or agent, only to the Record Holder of such Partnership Interest as of the Record Date set for such distribution. Such payment shall constitute full payment and satisfaction of the Partnership’s liability in respect of such payment, regardless of any claim of any Person who may have an interest in such payment by reason of an assignment or otherwise.

(f)

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not be required to make a distribution to a Partner or a Record Holder if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable Law.

ARTICLE 6

7.3	Loans from the General Partner; Loans or Contributions from the Partnership; Contracts with Affiliates; Certain Restrictions on the General Partner

(a)

The General Partner or any of its Affiliates may, but shall be under no obligation to, lend to any Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, funds needed or desired by the Group Member for such periods of time and in such amounts as the General Partner may determine, in its discretion.

(b)

Any Group Member (including the Partnership) may lend or contribute to any other Group Member, and any Group Member may borrow from any other Group Member (including the Partnership), funds on terms and conditions determined by the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall be exercised by the General

Partner in its sole discretion and shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Group Member or any other Person.

(c)

The General Partner may itself, or may enter into an agreement with any of its Affiliates (with respect to any such Affiliate who is not the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the General Partner, with prior Special Approval) to, render services to a Group Member or to the Partnership in the discharge of its duties as general partner of the Partnership. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 5.3(a) shall apply to the rendering of services described in this Section 7.3(c).

(d)

The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as are consistent with this Agreement and applicable Law.

(e)

The General Partner or any of its Affiliates (notwithstanding the proviso in this sentence, with respect to any such Affiliate who is not the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the General Partner, with prior Special Approval) may sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, pursuant to transactions that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership; provided however that the requirements of this Section 7.4(e) conclusively shall be deemed to be satisfied and not a breach of any duty hereunder or existing at law, in equity or otherwise as to (i) any transaction approved by Special Approval, (ii) any transaction, the terms of which are no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties, or (iii) any transaction that is fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be or have been particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership). With respect to any contribution of assets to the Partnership in exchange for Partnership Interests or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to Partnership Interests, the General Partner, in determining whether the appropriate Partnership Interest or options, rights, warrants or appreciation rights relating to Partnership Interests are being issued, may take into account, among other things, the fair market value of the assets, the liquidated and contingent liabilities assumed, the tax basis in the assets, the extent to which tax-only allocations to the transferor will protect the existing partners of the Partnership against a low tax basis, and such other factors as the General Partner deems relevant under the circumstances.

7.4	Title to Property

The General Partner may hold legal title to any of the assets or property of the Partnership in its name as bare trustee for the benefit of the Partnership.

(b)

To the extent that the board of directors of the General Partner is found to have breached its duties or obligations owed to the holders of TopCo Shares, the General Partner will be deemed to have breached its duties or obligations, as applicable, owed to the holders of Exchangeable Units pursuant to this Section 7.6 and in the event that a remedy is provided to the holders of TopCo Shares, an equivalent remedy shall be afforded to the holders of Exchangeable Units to the maximum extent possible.

Affiliate as a director, officer, employee, partner, agent or trustee of another Person (collectively, an “Indemnitee”) will be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities joint or several expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses on a solicitor/client basis), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as:

(i)

the General Partner, a Departing Partner or any of their Affiliates; or

(ii)

an officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, any Departing Partner or any of their Affiliates as a director, office, employee, agent or trustee of another Person;

provided, that

(iv)

in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, the Indemnitee had reasonable grounds for believing its conduct was lawful; and

(v)

no indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.8 will be available to an Indemnitee where the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction that is no longer appealable to have been in breach of, or negligent in the performance of, its obligations under this Agreement.

Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) will be made only out of the assets of the Partnership.

(c)

The indemnification provided by this Section 7.8 will be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of Law or otherwise, as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as:

(i)

the General Partner, a Departing Partner or any of their Affiliates;

(ii)

an officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, any Departing Partner or any of their Affiliates; or

(iii)

a Person serving at the request of the General Partner, any Departing Partner or any of their Affiliates as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another Person,

and will continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in that capacity and as to action in any other capacity.

(d)

The Partnership may purchase and maintain (or reimburse the General Partner or its Affiliates for the cost of) insurance, on behalf of those Persons (other than the General Partner itself) as the General Partner determines, against any liability that may be asserted against or expense that may be incurred by that Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, whether or not the Partnership would have the power to indemnify those Persons against those liabilities under the provisions of this Agreement.

7.8	Other Matters Concerning the General Partner

(a)

The General Partner may rely and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(b)

The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisors selected by it, and any act taken or omitted in reliance upon the opinion (including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel) of any of those Persons as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within that Person’s professional or expert competence will be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with that opinion.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent legally permissible and provided that the General Partner at such time is a Person other than TopCo or a TopCo Successor, (i) it shall be deemed not to be a breach of the GP Duties to engage in such business interests and activities in preference to or to the exclusion of any Group Member, (ii) the General Partner shall have no

obligation hereunder or as a result of any duty otherwise existing at Law or otherwise to present business opportunities to any Group Member and (iii) the doctrine of “corporate opportunity” or other analogous doctrine shall not apply to the General Partner.

The General Partner hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Partnership and each Limited Partner from and against all costs, expenses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Partnership or any Limited Partner by reason of an act of willful misconduct or gross negligence by the General Partner or of any act or omission not believed by the General Partner in good faith to be within the scope of the authority conferred on the General Partner by this Agreement.

Any services rendered to a Group Member by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates shall be on terms that are fair and reasonable to the Partnership; provided however that the requirements of this Section 7.12 conclusively shall be deemed satisfied and not a breach of any duty hereunder or existing at Law or otherwise as to any transaction (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) the terms of which are no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iii) that is fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be or have been particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership).

7.12	No Removal of the General Partner

On the resignation of the General Partner, the Partnership will release and hold harmless the General Partner resigning from any costs, expenses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the General Partner (in its capacity as such, but not in its capacity as TopCo) as a result of or arising out of events which occur in relation to the Partnership after that resignation.

7.17	New General Partner

A new general partner will become a party to this Agreement by signing a counterpart of this Agreement and will agree to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement and to assume the obligations, duties and liabilities of the General Partner under this Agreement as from the date the new general partner becomes a party to this Agreement.

7.18	Transfer of General Partner Interest

to a Subsidiary of the General Partner;

(b)

in connection with the General Partner’s merger or amalgamation with or into another entity; or

provided that, in all cases, the transferee assumes the rights and duties of the General Partner and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

7.19	Resolution of Conflict of Interests

(a)

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whenever a potential conflict of interest exists or arises between the General Partner or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Partnership, any Group Member or any Partner (other than the General Partner), on the other, any resolution or course of action by the General Partner or its Affiliates in respect of such conflict of interest shall be permitted and deemed approved by all Partners, and shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, or any agreement contemplated herein or therein, or of any duty hereunder or existing at Law or otherwise, if the resolution or course of action in respect of such conflict of interest is (i) approved by Special Approval, (ii) on terms no less favorable to the Partnership than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or (iii) fair and reasonable to the Partnership, taking into account the totality of the relationships between the parties involved (including other transactions that may be or have been particularly favorable or advantageous to the Partnership). The General Partner shall be authorized but not required in connection with its resolution of such conflict of interest to seek Special Approval of such resolution, and the General Partner may (if the conflict of interest involves an Affiliate of the General Partner who is not the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the General Partner, with Special Approval) also adopt a resolution or course of action that has not received Special Approval. Failure to seek Special Approval shall not be deemed to indicate that a conflict of interest exists or that Special Approval could not have been obtained.

(b)

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise applicable provision of Law, whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise the General Partner, in its capacity as the general partner of the Partnership, is permitted to or required to make a decision in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or that it deems “necessary or appropriate” or “necessary or advisable” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, make such decision in its sole discretion (regardless of whether there is a reference to “sole discretion” or “discretion”), but subject to the GP Duties, and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby, under the Act or under any other Law. Whenever in this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise the General Partner is permitted to or required to make a decision in its “good faith” then for purposes of this Agreement, the General Partner, or any of its Affiliates that cause it to make any such decision, shall be conclusively presumed to be acting in good faith if such Person or Persons subjectively believe(s) that the decision made or not made is not inconsistent with the GP Duties.

(c)

Whenever the General Partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action, or any of its Affiliates causes it to do so, in its individual capacity as opposed to in its capacity as a general partner of the Partnership, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or otherwise, then the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, are entitled, to the fullest

extent permitted by Law, to make such determination or to take or decline to take such other action free of any duty (including any fiduciary duty) or obligation whatsoever to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, any Record Holder or any other Person bound by this Agreement, and the General Partner, or such Affiliates causing it to do so, shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be required to act pursuant to any other standard imposed by this Agreement, any other agreement contemplated hereby or under the Act or any other Law.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates shall have no duty or obligation, express or implied, to (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any asset of the Partnership Group other than in the ordinary course of business or (ii) permit any Group Member to use any facilities or assets of the General Partner and its Affiliates, except as may be provided in contracts entered into from time to time specifically dealing with such use. Any determination by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates to enter into such contracts shall be in its sole discretion.

(e)

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, neither the General Partner nor any other Indemnitee shall have any duties or liabilities, including fiduciary duties, to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any other Person bound by this Agreement (except in the case of the General Partner for the GP Duties), and the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or otherwise modify or eliminate the duties and liabilities, including fiduciary duties, of the General Partner or any other Indemnitee otherwise existing at Law, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of the General Partner (except for the GP Duties) or such other Indemnitee.

(f)

The Limited Partners hereby authorize the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership as a partner or member of a Group Member, to approve of actions by the general partner or managing member of such Group Member similar to those actions permitted to be taken by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.20.

(g)

The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that except for the GP Duties, the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions, and that, subject to the GP Duties, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions.

The General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely file all tax returns of the Partnership that are required to be filed under applicable Law (including any U.S. or Canadian federal, provincial, territorial, state, or local tax returns). The General Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to all Partners necessary tax information as promptly as possible after the end of the Fiscal Year of the Partnership; provided, however, that delivery of such tax information may be subject to delay as a result of the late receipt of any necessary tax information from an entity in which the Partnership or any of its Subsidiaries holds an interest.

Each Limited Partner agrees to file all U.S. and Canadian federal, provincial, territorial, state and local tax returns required to be filed by it in a manner consistent with the information provided to it by the Partnership, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Subject to the provisions hereof, the General Partner is authorized to represent the Partnership (at the Partnership’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Partnership’s affairs by Canadian and other non-U.S. tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expand Partnership funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the General Partner and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the General Partner to conduct such proceedings.

(b)

U.S. Federal Income Tax Matters.

(i)

The TopCo Shareholder Representative shall be the “partnership representative” of the Partnership for purposes of Code Section 6223 and any corresponding provision of applicable federal, state, local and/or foreign Law (the “Partnership Representative”), and on behalf of the

Partnership, the General Partner (or its designee) shall be permitted to appoint any “designated individual” permitted under U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 301.6223-1 and 301.6223-2 or any successor regulations or similar provisions of tax Law, and unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to the Partnership Representative in this Agreement includes any “designated individual.” The Partnership Representative shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Partnership for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred as a result of acting as the Partnership Representative in connection with any proceeding involving the Partnership and to be indemnified by the Partnership (solely out of Partnership assets) with respect to any action brought against it as a result of acting as Partnership Representative in connection with the resolution or settlement of any such proceeding. Each Partner hereby agrees (i) to take such actions as may be required to effect the General Partner’s designation as the Partnership Representative, and on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner’s (or its designee’s) appointment of any “designated individual,” and (ii) to cooperate to provide any information or take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative in order to determine whether any Imputed Underpayment Amount may be modified pursuant to Code Section 6225(c) or any corresponding provision of applicable federal, state, local and/or foreign Law and/or to allow the Partnership to make any such modification. The provisions of this Section 9.3 and a Partner’s obligation to comply with this Section 9.3 shall survive any liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership and the transfer, assignment or liquidation of such Partner’s Partnership Interest.

(ii)

The General Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) mitigate the economic burden to the Limited Partners of any final partnership adjustment, including by causing the Partnership to make an election under Section 6226(a)(1) of the Code or by following the procedures under Section 6225(c) of the Code to modify any imputed underpayment amount, and (b) allocate the economic burden of a final partnership adjustment (including any expenses related thereto) to the Partner(s) to whom such final partnership adjustment is attributable. Subject to the foregoing, the taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Partnership Representative in connection with any partnership audit, except to the extent required by Law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the Partnership Representative and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.8 shall be fully applicable to the Partnership Representative in its capacity as such. The Partnership Representative shall receive no compensation for its services. All third-party costs and expenses incurred by the Partnership Representative in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting or law firm to assist the Partnership Representative in discharging its duties

hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such services is reasonable.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Partnership will use its reasonable best efforts to undertake all necessary steps to preserve its status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will not undertake any activity or make any investment or fail to take any action that would (i) cause the Partnership to be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” as defined in Section 7704 of the Code or (ii) jeopardize its status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE 10
MEETINGS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS

10.1	Meetings

The General Partner may call a general meeting of Partners at any time and place as it deems appropriate in its absolute discretion for the purpose of considering any matter set out in the notice of meeting.

Every meeting of Partners will be in Ottawa, Ontario or at any other place within or outside of Canada as the General Partner may designate.

10.3	Notice of Meeting

Notice of any meeting of Partners will be given to each Limited Partner not less than 21 days (but not more than 60 days) prior to the meeting, and will state:

(a)

the time, date and place of the meeting; and

(b)

in general terms, the nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting in sufficient detail to permit a Partner to make a reasoned decision on that business.

Notice of an adjourned meeting of Partners need not be given if the adjourned meeting is held within 14 days of the original meeting. Otherwise, but subject to Section 10.13, notice of adjourned meetings will be given not less than 21 days in advance of the adjourned meeting and otherwise in accordance with this section, except that the notice need not specify the nature of the business to be transacted if unchanged from the original meeting.

For the purpose of determining the Limited Partners who are entitled to vote or act at any meeting of Partners or any adjournment of a meeting, or for the purpose of any other action, the General Partner may from time to time cause the transfer books to be closed for a period, not exceeding 30 days, as the General Partner may determine or, without causing the transfer books to be closed, the

General Partner may fix a date not more than 60 days prior to the date of any meeting of Partners or other action as a record date for the determination of Limited Partners entitled to vote at that meeting or any adjournment of the meeting or to be treated as Limited Partners of record for purposes of any other action, and any Limited Partner who was a Limited Partner at the time so fixed will be entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment of the meeting even though that Limited Partner has since that date disposed of the Limited Partner’s Units, and no Limited Partner becoming a Limited Partner after that fixed date will be a Limited Partner of record for purposes of that action. A Person will be a Limited Partner of record at the relevant time if the Person’s name appears in the Record, as amended and supplemented, at that time.

10.7	Validity of Proxies

A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Limited Partner will be considered to be valid unless challenged at the time of or prior to its exercise. The Person challenging the proxy will have the burden of proving to the satisfaction of the chairperson of the meeting that the proxy is invalid and any decision of the chairperson concerning the validity of a proxy will be final. Proxies will be valid only at the meeting with respect to which they were solicited, or any adjournment of the meeting, but in any event will cease to be valid one year from their date. A proxy given on behalf of joint holders must be executed by all of them and may be revoked by any of them, and if more than one of several joint holders is present at a meeting and they do not agree which of them is to exercise any vote to which they are jointly entitled, they will, for the purposes of voting, be deemed not to be present. A proxy holder need not be a holder of a Unit.

10.8	Form of Proxy

Every proxy will be substantially in the form as may be approved by the General Partner or as may be reasonably satisfactory to the chairperson of the meeting at which it is sought to be exercised.

10.12

Chairperson

The General Partner may nominate a Person, including, without limitation, an officer or director of the General Partner, (who need not be a Limited Partner) to be chairperson of a meeting of Partners and the person nominated by the General Partner will be chairperson of that meeting unless the Partners elect another chairperson by Ordinary Resolution.

10.13

Quorum

A quorum at any meeting of Partners will consist of one or more Partners present in person or by proxy holding a majority of the voting power which may be exercised at such meeting. If, within half an hour after the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, a quorum for the meeting is not present, the meeting:

(a)

if called by or on the requisition of Limited Partners, will be terminated; and

(b)

if called by the General Partner, will be held at the same time and place on the day which is 14 days later (or if that date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day prior to that date). The General Partner will give three days’ notice to Limited Partners of the date of the reconvening of the adjourned meeting and at the reconvened meeting the quorum will consist of the Partners then present in person or represented by proxy.

10.14

Voting

(a)

Every question submitted to a meeting of Partners will be decided by an Ordinary Resolution on a show of hands unless otherwise required by this Agreement or a poll is demanded by a Partner, in which case a poll will be taken. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson will not have a casting vote and the resolution will be deemed to be defeated. The chairperson will be entitled to vote in respect of

any Units held by the chairperson or for which the chairperson may be a proxyholder.

(b)

On a poll, each Person present at the meeting will have one vote for each Unit entitled to vote in respect of which the Person is shown on the Record as a Partner at the record date and for each Unit in respect of which the Person is the proxyholder. Each Partner present at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting will have one vote on a show of hands. If Units are held jointly by two or more persons and only one of them is present or represented by proxy at a meeting of Unitholders, that Unitholder may, in the absence of the other or others, vote with respect those Units, but if more than one of them is present or represented by proxy, they will vote together on the whole Units held jointly. Where this Agreement or applicable Law only permits certain Units to be voted on a matter, only votes in respect of such Units will be recognized.

10.15

Poll

A poll requested or required will be taken at the meeting of Partners or an adjournment of the meeting in any manner as the chairperson directs.

10.16

Powers of Limited Partners; Resolutions Binding

The Limited Partners will have only the powers set out in this Agreement and any additional powers provided by Law. Subject to the foregoing sentence and Section 14.1, any resolution passed in accordance with this Agreement will be binding on each Partner and that Partner’s respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, whether or not that Partner was present in person or voted against any resolution so passed.

10.17

Conditions to Action by Limited Partners

The right of the Limited Partners to vote to amend this Agreement or to approve or initiate the taking of, or take, any other action at any meeting of Partners will not come into existence or be effective in any manner unless and until, prior to the exercise of any right or the taking of any action, the Partnership has received an opinion of counsel advising the Limited Partners (at the expense of the Partnership) as to the effect that the exercise of those rights or the taking of those actions may have on the limited liability of any Limited Partners other than those Limited Partners who have initiated that action, each of whom expressly acknowledges that the exercise of the right or the taking of the action may subject each of those Limited Partners to liability as a general partner under the Act or similar legislation in Canada.

10.18

Minutes

The General Partner will cause minutes to be kept of all proceedings and resolutions at every meeting and will cause all minutes and all resolutions of the Partners consented to in writing to be made and entered in books to be kept for that purpose. Any minutes of a meeting signed by the chairperson of the meeting will be deemed evidence of the matters stated in them and the meeting will be deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions and proceedings shown in them will be deemed to have been duly passed and taken.

10.19

Additional Rules and Procedures

To the extent that the rules and procedures for the conduct of a meeting of the Partners are not prescribed in this Agreement, the rules and procedures will be determined by the General Partner.

10.20

Electronic Meetings

The General Partner may determine that a meeting of Partners shall be held entirely by means of telephone, electronic or other communications facilities that permit all participants to communicate with each other during the meeting. A meeting of Partners may also be held at which some, but not necessarily all, persons entitled to attend may participate by means of such communications facilities, if the General Partner determines to make them available. A person participating in a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at the meeting.

EXCHANGE OF EXCHANGEABLE UNITS BY HOLDER

2.1	Exchange Right

(a)

From and after the date that is six months following the date of the Merger Effective Time, a holder of Exchangeable Units shall, at any time and from time to time, have the right to require the Partnership to repurchase any or all of the Exchangeable Units held by such holder in exchange for, and in connection therewith the right to require TopCo to issue, the applicable Exchanged Shares (the “Exchange Right”); provided, however, that a holder of Exchangeable Units may exercise its Exchange Right at any time to effect a transfer to be effective immediately prior to (and if so elected by such holder, subject to) the closing of a TopCo Control Transaction so that such Exchanged Shares to be received by such holder in such repurchase will have the full right and power to participate in such Topco Control Transaction (and such right and power shall be expressly recognized and provided for in any agreement relating to any such Topco Control Transaction).

(b)

To exercise the Exchange Right, the holder shall present and surrender at the office of the Partnership (or at any office of the Registrar and Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Partnership by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Units) a duly executed Exchange Notice together with such additional customary documents and instruments as the Registrar and Transfer Agent or the Partnership may reasonably require; provided that a definitive list of any such documents and instruments and copies thereof shall be posted publicly on the Company’s website. The Exchange Notice shall specify the number and class of Exchangeable Units in respect of which the holder is exercising the Exchange Right (the “Subject Units”) and, in the case of Class C Exchangeable Units, whether such Units are to be exchanged for TopCo Class C Fully Voting Shares or TopCo Class C Limited Voting Shares.

A-2

32605634_45

2.2	Share Settlement

Provided that the Exchange Notice is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 2.4 of this Schedule A, effective at the close of business on the Exchange Date:

(a)

the Partnership shall have, and shall be deemed to have, repurchased the Subject Units for cancellation in consideration for the transfer to such holder of the applicable number of Exchanged Shares and such holder shall be deemed to have transferred to the Partnership all of such holder’s right, title and interest in and to the Subject Units;

(b)

the General Partner shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to such holder or in accordance with its direction, for and on behalf of the Partnership and in the manner provided for in Section 2.3 of this Schedule A, the applicable number of Exchanged Shares; and

(c)

the Partnership shall issue to the General Partner a number of GP Units equal to the number of Exchanged Shares delivered to such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(b) of this Schedule A, in consideration for the General Partner delivering such Exchanged Shares to such holder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Partnership, nor the General Partner, shall be liable for damages arising from a failure to deliver the applicable number of Exchanged Shares (x) on an Exchange Date of less than three Business Days after the date upon which such Exchange Notice is delivered to the office of the Partnership, so long as each of the Partnership and the General Partner used commercially reasonable efforts to meet such Exchange Date, or (y) on any Exchange Date as a result of any cause or impediment not reasonably within the control of the Partnership or the General Partner, including any failure on behalf of the Registrar or Transfer Agent to take timely any actions requested by the Partnership or the General Partner, so long as each of the Partnership and the General Partner used reasonable best efforts to eliminate such cause or impediment. The Partnership and the General Partner shall have a continuing obligation to deliver the Exchange Shares, even if not delivered on the specified Exchange Date.

2.3	Effect of Exchange

(a)

Subject to compliance by the applicable holder of the Subject Units with the terms of this Schedule A, the Partnership (or the General Partner for and on behalf of the Partnership) shall deliver or cause the Registrar and Transfer Agent to deliver to the relevant holder or in accordance with its direction, as applicable the applicable Exchanged Shares (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance) less any amounts withheld on account of tax pursuant to Section 5.5(a) of the Agreement, and such delivery by or on behalf of the Partnership or by the Registrar and Transfer Agent shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the total consideration payable or issuable. To the extent that amounts are so required to be deducted or withheld on account of tax pursuant to Section 5.5(a),

A-3

32605634_45

the Partnership (or the General Partner for and on behalf of the Partnership) is hereby authorized to sell such portion of the Exchanged Shares otherwise payable to the holder as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Partnership to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and the Partnership (or the General Partner for and on behalf of the Partnership) shall notify such holder of such sale and (x) remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate taxing authority and (y) the remaining net proceeds of such sale (after deduction for the amounts described in clause (x)) to such holder; provided that the General Partner shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide such holder with the opportunity to pay any withholding tax in cash, in lieu of having Exchanged Shares sold to pay some or all of the withholding tax. The General Partner shall respond to reasonable inquiries from the holders of Exchangeable Units as to the existence and amount of any withholding tax upon the exchange of such Exchangeable Units and otherwise cooperate in a reasonable manner, so that such payment can be made promptly and in a manner and at a time that will not result in a failure of delivery of all Exchanged Shares without any need for a sale as contemplated above, as, and within the time periods, contemplated in 2.2(b) above.

(b)

On and after the close of business on the Exchange Date, the holders of the Subject Units shall cease to be holders of such Subject Units and all rights with respect to such Subject Units shall immediately cease and terminate, other than the right to receive the applicable Exchanged Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Article 2. On and after the close of business on the Exchange Date, provided that payment of the applicable Exchanged Shares has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Subject Units exchanged for TopCo Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the applicable number and class of TopCo Shares delivered to it.

(c)

Notwithstanding Section 2.3(b) of this Schedule A, where a record date in respect of a distribution occurs prior to the Exchange Date with regard to any Exchangeable Unit as to which an Exchange Notice has been delivered and there is any declared and unpaid distribution on any Exchangeable Unit as to which an Exchange Notice has been delivered, subject to Section 6.1 of this Schedule A, such distribution shall remain payable and shall be paid in the applicable form on the designated payment date to the former holder of the Exchangeable Unit so exchanged hereunder.

(d)

All filing fees, transfer taxes, sales taxes, document stamps or other similar charges levied by any Governmental Authority in connection with the repurchase of the Exchangeable Units pursuant to the Agreement shall be paid by the Partnership; provided, however, that the holder of such Exchangeable Units shall pay any such fees, taxes, stamps or similar charges that may be payable as a result of any transfer of the consideration payable in respect of such Exchangeable Units to a Person other than such holder. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, each party will bear its own costs in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Agreement.

A-4

32605634_45

2.4	Revocation Right

A holder of Subject Units may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Partnership before the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date, withdraw its Exchange Notice, in which event such Exchange Notice shall be null and void.

2.5	Mandatory Exchange

In the event that:

(a)

at any time the number of Exchangeable Units Outstanding (other than Exchangeable Units held by the General Partner or its Affiliates and as such number of Units may be adjusted in accordance with the Agreement to give effect to a Combination or Subdivision of, or unit distribution on, the Exchangeable Units, or any issue or distribution of rights to acquire Exchangeable Units or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Exchangeable Units following the date hereof) represents less than 2% of the equity capital of the General Partner on a fully-diluted basis, or

(b)

a TopCo Control Transaction occurs with respect to which both: (i) the General Partner’s Board of Directors has determined, in good faith, that such TopCo Control Transaction involves an arm’s length transaction between TopCo and a bona fide third party and has a legitimate material commercial purpose other than causing the exchange of the Exchangeable Units in connection with such TopCo Control Transaction; and (ii) the holders of the Exchangeable Units have received not less than 15 Business Days prior written notice from the General Partner prior to the date that it makes such determination, or

(c)

an Exempt Exchangeable Voting Event is proposed and, following reasonable prior written notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Units by the General Partner that such proposal constitutes an Exempt Exchangeable Voting Event, the requisite plurality of such holders fail to vote or provide written consent or proxy with respect to such Exchangeable Units (to the extent such actions are permitted by Law and would not cause a violation of this Agreement, the TopCo Articles, or the Investor Rights Agreement) at a meeting called in accordance with this Agreement to approve or disapprove, as applicable, the Exempt Exchangeable Voting Event in order to maintain economic equivalence of the Exchangeable Units and the GP Units,

then on prior written notice given by the Partnership to the holders of Exchangeable Units at least fifteen days prior to such mandatory exchange, in the case of the foregoing Sections 2.5(a) and 2.5(b), and on the Business Day following the day on which the holders of the Exchangeable Units failed to take such action in the case of the foregoing Section 2.5(c), the Partnership may cause a mandatory exchange of all of the Outstanding Exchangeable Units (which shall be deemed to be the Subject Units), on such date as is specified by the Partnership in such notice (which shall be deemed to be the Exchange Date), pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Schedule A, and for greater

A-5

32605634_45

certainty the holders of Exchangeable Units shall not have the right to revoke such mandatory exchange pursuant to this Section 2.5 of Schedule A.

2.6	Take-Over Bid

With respect to any matter described in Section 3.23 of the Agreement that is proposed or recommended by the General Partner or the General Partner’s Board of Directors, and as a term thereof, the Partnership will cause to be put in place procedures or cause the Registrar and Transfer Agent to put in place procedures to ensure that, if holders of Exchangeable Units are required to exchange such Exchangeable Units to participate in a TopCo Offer, any such exchange shall be conditional upon and shall only be effective if the TopCo Shares tendered or deposited under such TopCo Offer are taken up.

ARTICLE 3
VOTING RIGHTS

3.1	Mailings to TopCo Shareholders

TopCo, in its own capacity and not in its capacity as General Partner, will deliver to the General Partner copies of all proxy materials (including notices of TopCo Meetings but excluding proxies to vote TopCo Shares), information statements, reports (including all interim and annual financial statements) and other written communications that, in each case, are to be distributed from time to time to holders of TopCo Shares in sufficient quantities and in sufficient time so as to enable the General Partner to send those materials to each Exchangeable Holder at the same time as such materials are first sent to holders of TopCo Shares. The General Partner will promptly mail or cause to be mailed (or otherwise communicate in the same manner as TopCo utilizes in communications to holders of TopCo Shares, subject to applicable Laws and provided such manner of communications is reasonably available to the General Partner) to each Exchangeable Holder, at the expense of TopCo, such mailing or communication to commence on the same day as the mailing or notice (or other communication) with respect thereto is commenced by TopCo to its shareholders:

(a)

a copy of such notice, together with any related materials, including any proxy circular or information statement, to be provided to shareholders of TopCo;

(b)

a statement that such Exchangeable Holder is entitled to instruct the General Partner to instruct the Trust as to the exercise of the Holder Votes with respect to such TopCo Meeting or TopCo Consent or, pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Voting Agreement, to attend such TopCo Meeting and to exercise personally the Holder Votes thereat;

(c)

a written statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given to the General Partner, including an express indication that instructions may be given to the General Partner to give:

(iii)

a statement that if no such instructions are received from an Exchangeable Holder, the Holder Votes with respect to which such Exchangeable Holder is entitled to give instructions will not be exercised by the Trust;

(d)

a form of direction whereby an Exchangeable Holder may so direct and instruct the General Partner as contemplated herein; and

a statement of the time and date by which such instructions must be received by the General Partner in order to be binding upon it, which in the case of a TopCo Meeting shall not be earlier than the close of business on the third Business Day prior to such meeting, and of the method for revoking or amending such instructions.

provided, however, that the General Partner shall not be required to provide an Exchangeable Holder such mailing or communication relating to a TopCo Meeting at which or TopCo Consent for which the TopCo Shares receivable upon the exchange of the Exchangeable Units owned of record by such Exchangeable Units do not have the right to vote. The General Partner will include in all such communications contemplated in clauses (a) through (e) above, a written form of proxy, notice or instruction, together with a pre addressed return envelope, so that the holder of the Exchangeable Units will be able to complete and sign such form and return it to as appropriate, in order to exercise the rights and powers contemplated herein.

3.2	Other Materials

As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by TopCo or shareholders of TopCo (if such receipt is known by TopCo) of any material sent or given by or on behalf of a third party to holders of TopCo Shares generally, including dissident proxy and information circulars (and related information and material) and take-over bid circulars (and related information and material), TopCo shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to obtain and deliver to the General Partner copies thereof in sufficient quantities so as to enable the General Partner to forward such material (unless the same has been provided directly to Exchangeable Holders by such third party) to each Exchangeable Holder as soon as possible thereafter. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof, the General Partner will mail or otherwise send to each Exchangeable Holder, at the expense of TopCo, copies of all such materials received by the General Partner from TopCo. The General Partner will also make available for inspection by any Exchangeable Holder at the General Partner’s principal office in Toronto, Ontario copies of all such materials.

3.3	List of Persons Entitled to Vote

The Partnership shall (a) prior to each annual, general and special TopCo Meeting or the seeking of any TopCo Consent from the holders of TopCo Shares and (b) forthwith upon each request

A-7

32605634_45

Each such List shall be delivered to the Trustee promptly after receipt by the Partnership of such request or the record date for such meeting or seeking of consent, as the case may be, and in any event within sufficient time as to permit the Trustee to perform its obligations under the Voting Agreement.

(b)

In Connection with the Separate Class Vote of a Special Voting Share

(i)

Notwithstanding Section 3.4(a) of this Schedule A, in the event that under applicable law any matter requires the approval of the holder of record of a particular Special Voting Share, voting separately as a class, the General Partner shall direct the Trust to cast and exercise, in the manner instructed, that number of votes comprised in the Voting Rights for such Special Voting Share:

1(A) in favour of the relevant matter where the result of the vote of the holders of the class of TopCo Shares receivable upon the exchange of the Exchangeable Units to which such Special Voting Share relates (e.g., TopCo Class A Shares in the case of the Class A Special Voting Share) and the applicable class of Holder Votes (e.g., Class A Holder Votes in the case of the Class A Special Voting Share), voting together if they were as a single class on such matter (a “Combined Vote”), would be the approval of such matter; and

(B) against the relevant matter where the result of the Combined Vote would be against the relevant matter;

A-9

32605634_45

provided that, in the event of a vote on a proposal to amend the TopCo Articles to, or to take any other action that would: (x) effect an exchange, reclassification, cancellation or other modification which could adversely affect such Special Voting Share or the rights thereunder relative to the applicable class of TopCo Shares (e.g., TopCo Class A Shares in the case of the Class A Special Voting Share) or (y) add, change, amend, modify or remove in any respect the rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to such Special Voting Share (any of the foregoing actions described in clauses (x) or (y), a “Class Vote Proposal”), in each case, the General Partner shall direct the Trust to cast and exercise, in the manner instructed, that number of votes comprised in the Voting Rights for such Special Voting Share (i) in favour of such Class Vote Proposal if a majority of the class of Holder Votes alone (e.g., Class A Holder Votes in the case of the Class A Special Voting Share), rather than a Combined Vote, voted in favour of such Class Vote Proposal, otherwise (ii) against such Class Vote Proposal.

(c)

For the purpose of determining Holder Votes with respect to which such Unitholder is entitled to give instructions pursuant to the Agreement in respect of any TopCo Meeting or TopCo Consent, the number of Exchangeable Units owned of record by a Unitholder shall be determined at the close of business on the record date established by TopCo or by applicable Law for purposes of determining shareholders entitled to vote at such TopCo Meeting.

(d)

For instructions with respect to the Voting Rights to be timely delivered by the holders of Exchangeable Units, such instructions must be delivered: (i) with respect to a TopCo Meeting, no later than three Business Days prior to the proxy cut-off time established by TopCo for such TopCo Meeting, or (ii) with respect to a TopCo Consent, no later than the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the deadline specified in such TopCo Consent, if any. The General Partner, may, in its sole discretion, choose to treat instructions delivered subsequent to the times set forth in the preceding sentence as timely delivered. The General Partner shall specify all such applicable times and dates (by reference to a specific time and date and not to a computation methodology) in each of its relevant notices required to be given to each holder of Exchangeable Units.

(e)

The General Partner shall timely direct the Trust, in writing, to cast and exercise, in the manner timely instructed, the Voting Rights in accordance with the voting instructions received pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and 3.4(b). To the extent that no instructions are timely received by the General Partner with respect to the Voting Rights with respect to any Special Voting Share, the General Partner shall instruct the Trust not exercise or permit the exercise of such Voting Rights.

3.5	Exchangeable Holder Proxies

At the request of a holder of Exchangeable Units, the General Partner shall direct the Trustee to sign and deliver to such holder of Exchangeable Units (or its designee) a proxy to exercise personally the Holder Votes of such holder of Exchangeable Units with respect to the applicable Special Voting Shares; provided that such Unit Holder provides such identifying information as is

A-10

32605634_45

reasonably requested by the Trustee and either (i) has not previously given the General Partner instructions pursuant to Section 3.4 in respect of such TopCo Meeting or (ii) submits to the General Partner written revocation of any such previous instructions. The holder of Exchangeable Units exercising such Holder Votes shall have the same rights as the Trust would have had in relation to such Holder Votes to speak at the TopCo Meeting in respect of any matter, question, proposal or proposition, to vote by way of ballot at the TopCo Meeting in respect of any matter, question, proposal or proposition, and to vote by way of a show of hands in respect of any matter, question or proposition.

3.6	Actions of Exchangeable Holders

The Exchangeable Holders shall have the right to institute any action, suit or proceeding or to exercise any other remedy under or pursuant to the Agreement or the Voting Agreement in relation to directing the exercise of rights attached to a Special Voting Share as the Trustee might have taken.

3.7	Voting of Golden Share

The General Partner shall instruct the Trustee to vote the Golden Share as provided for in the Voting Agreement.
