(b) The certification of the Subscription Receipt Agent on Subscription Receipt Certificates issued hereunder shall not be construed as a representation or warranty by the Subscription Receipt Agent as to the validity of this Agreement or the Subscription Receipt Certificates (except the due certification thereof) and the Subscription Receipt Agent shall in no respect be liable or answerable for the use made of the Subscription Receipt Certificates or any of them or of the consideration therefor except as otherwise specified herein.

(b) Subscription Receipt Certificates may be surrendered for exchange only at the Designated Office during regular business hours of the Subscription Receipt Agent.

(c) Except as otherwise herein provided, the Subscription Receipt Agent may charge the holder requesting an exchange a reasonable sum for each new Subscription Receipt Certificate issued in exchange for Subscription Receipt Certificate(s).

If less than all the Subscription Receipts evidenced by the Subscription Receipt Certificate(s) so surrendered are transferred, the transferor shall be entitled to receive, in the same manner, a new Subscription Receipt Certificate registered in its name evidencing the Subscription Receipts not transferred. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscription Receipts shall only be transferred upon:

(i) payment to the Subscription Receipt Agent of a reasonable sum for each new Subscription Receipt Certificate issued upon such transfer, and reimbursement of the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Corporation for any and all stamp taxes or governmental or other charges required to be paid in respect of such transfer;

(iii) such reasonable requirements as the Subscription Receipt Agent may prescribe and as may be required by the terms of this Agreement;

and all such transfers shall be duly noted in such register by the Subscription Receipt Agent.

(b) If the Subscription Receipt Certificate or certificate representing Underlying Common Shares issued pursuant to the Subscription Receipts tendered for transfer bears a United States restrictive legend as set forth in Section 2.12(c) hereof:

(ii) unless the requirements for removal of such legend has been complied with, the Subscription Receipt Certificate or Underlying Common Shares issued to such transferee shall include the legend set forth in Section 2.12(c), and the requirement of Section 2.12(c) relating to legending Common Shares upon exercise of the Subscription Receipts shall also apply.

(c) The Corporation and the Subscription Receipt Agent will deem and treat the registered holder of any Subscription Receipt as the beneficial owner thereof for all purposes and neither the Corporation nor the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(f) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law, a Receiptholder shall be entitled to the rights and privileges attaching to the Subscription Receipts.

2.12 Global Subscription Receipts

(a) Unless the Subscription Receipts cease to be eligible for the Book-Entry Only System, whether as a result of a termination of the Corporation’s agreement with CDS or otherwise, Subscription Receipt Certificates will only be issued in the form of Global Subscription Receipt Certificates, which will be registered in the name of and deposited with CDS or its nominee and held by, or on behalf of, CDS as depository of the Subscription Receipt Certificates for the participants of CDS. For the avoidance of doubt, Subscription Receipts sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined in Rule 144A) pursuant to a private placement exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state laws will be represented by one or more separate Global Subscription Receipts issued under a CUSIP number dedicated to such Restricted Subscription Receipts (each a “Restricted Global Subscription Receipt”). Such Restricted Global Subscription Receipts shall be issued in compliance with Section 2.12(c) hereof.

(b) The Subscription Receipt Agent understands and acknowledges that the Subscription Receipts and the Underlying Common Shares issued upon exercise thereof have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act nor the securities laws of any state of the United States and may be transferred only pursuant to an exemption or exclusion from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

(c) Until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or state securities laws, each Restricted Global Subscription Receipt evidencing Subscription Receipts originally offered or sold in the United States pursuant to a private placement exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state laws, and all certificates representing Subscription Receipts or Underlying Common Shares issued in exchange therefor or in substitution or transfer thereof shall, unless otherwise directed by the Corporation, bear the following legend:

THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY TAKING POSSESSION OF SUCH SECURITIES, AND EACH PERSON THAT ACQUIRES AN INTEREST IN SUCH SECURITIES AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORPORATION THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH CANADIAN AND ANY APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, (C) WITHIN THE UNITED STATES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, IF AVAILABLE, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES AND AFTER PROVIDING TO MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, THE SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT AGENT AND THE TRANSFER AGENT, IF APPLICABLE, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, OF RECOGNIZED STANDING REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.

IF THE SECURITIES ARE BEING SOLD IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT, A NEW CERTIFICATE BEARING NO LEGEND MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT AGENT OR THE TRANSFER AGENT, AS APPLICABLE, (OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS) UPON DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AND A DULY EXECUTED DECLARATION, IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT AGENT OR THE TRANSFER AGENT, AS APPLICABLE, AND MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS) TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT”;

and Subscription Receipts and Underlying Common Shares represented by such legended certificates will have separate, restricted CUSIP numbers, provided that if the Subscription Receipts or the Underlying Common Shares are being sold in compliance with the requirements of Rule 904 of Regulation S, the legend may be removed (and such Subscription Receipts and Underlying Common Shares may be represented by certificates bearing unrestricted CUSIP numbers) if a declaration is provided to the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Transfer Agent, if applicable, (or their respective successors) (unless the Corporation approves otherwise) to the following effect (or as may be required from time to time to

- 18 -

comply with the then-applicable requirements of U.S. securities laws or regulations):

“The undersigned (A) confirms, that the sale of the [subscription receipts/common shares] of Manulife Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) represented by certificate No. to which this declaration relates (the “Securities”) is being made in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“U.S. Securities Act”), and (B) certifies that (1) it is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act) of the Corporation, (2) the offer of such Securities was not made to a person in the United States and either (a) at the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside the United States or (b) the transaction was executed on or through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other Designated Offshore Securities Market, as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S, and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States, (3) neither the seller nor any affiliate of the seller nor any person acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any “directed selling efforts” (as such term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S) in connection with the offer and sale of such Securities, (4) the sale is bona fide and not for the purpose of “washing off” the resale restrictions imposed because the Securities are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the U.S. Securities Act), (5) the seller does not intend to replace such Securities sold in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S with fungible unrestricted securities and (6) the contemplated sale is not a transaction, or part of a series of transactions which, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the U.S. Securities Act.”;

provided, further, that if the Subscription Receipts or the Underlying Common Shares are being sold under Rule 144, the legend set forth above may be removed (and such Subscription Receipts and Underlying Common Shars may be represented by certificates bearing unrestricted CUSIP numbers) by delivering to the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, and the Corporation (or their respective successors) a broker’s certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation confirming the manner of such sale;

(d) Unless the Subscription Receipts cease to be eligible for the Book-Entry Only System, whether as a result of a termination of the Corporation’s agreement with CDS or otherwise, owners of beneficial interests in the Subscription Receipts through CDS shall not be entitled to have Subscription Receipts registered in their names, shall not receive or be entitled to receive Subscription Receipt Certificates in definitive form and shall not be considered owners or holders thereof under this

- 19 -

Agreement or any supplemental agreement except in circumstances where CDS resigns or is removed from its responsibility and the Corporation is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor. Beneficial interests in Subscription Receipts represented by the Global Subscription Receipt Certificates will be represented only through the Book-Entry Only System. Transfers of Subscription Receipts between CDS participants shall occur in accordance with CDS’ applicable rules and procedures. Neither the Corporation nor the Subscription Receipt Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for: (i) any aspects of the records relating to or payments made by CDS, or its nominee, on account of the beneficial interests in the Subscription Receipts; (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the Subscription Receipts; or (iii) any advice or representation made by or with respect to CDS relating to the rules governing CDS or any action to be taken by CDS or at the direction of a CDS participant. Nothing herein shall prevent the owners of beneficial interests in the Subscription Receipts from voting such Subscription Receipts using duly executed proxies.

(e) All references herein to actions by, notices given or payments made to Receiptholders shall, where Subscription Receipts are held through CDS, refer to actions taken by, or notices given or payments made to, CDS upon instruction from the CDS participants in accordance with its rules and procedures. For the purposes of any provision hereof requiring or permitting actions with the consent of or at the direction of Receiptholders evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate Subscription Receipts outstanding, such direction or consent may be given by holders of Subscription Receipts acting through CDS and the CDS participants owning Subscription Receipts evidencing the requisite percentage of the Subscription Receipts. The rights of a Receiptholder whose Subscription Receipts are held through CDS shall be exercised only through CDS and the CDS participants and shall be limited to those rights established by law and agreements between such holders and CDS and/or the CDS participants or upon instructions from the CDS participants. For so long as Subscription Receipts are held through CDS, each of the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Corporation may deal with CDS for all purposes (including the making of payments) as the authorized representative of the respective Receiptholders and such dealing with CDS shall constitute satisfaction or performance, as applicable, of their respective obligations hereunder.

(f) For so long as Subscription Receipts are held through CDS, if any notice or other communication is required to be given to Receiptholders, the Subscription Receipt Agent will give such notices and communications to CDS.

(g) If CDS resigns or is removed from its responsibility as depository and the Corporation is unable or does not wish to locate a qualified successor, the Corporation shall cause CDS to surrender all Global Subscription Receipt Certificates to the Subscription Receipt Agent with instructions for registration of Subscription Receipts in the names and in the amounts specified by CDS and the Corporation shall issue and the Subscription Receipt Agent shall certify and deliver the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts then outstanding in the

- 20 -

form of definitive Subscription Receipt Certificates representing such Subscription Receipts.

2.13 Proceeds to be Placed in Escrow

Upon the issuance of Subscription Receipts, including the issuance of Over-Allotment Subscription Receipts, the Proceeds in respect thereof shall be delivered by the Lead Underwriter, on behalf of the Underwriters, to the Subscription Receipt Agent by electronic transfer of funds into a segregated trust account as directed by the Subscription Receipt Agent to be held pursuant to the terms hereof. The Subscription Receipt Agent hereby agrees to hold the Escrowed Funds as agent on behalf of the Receiptholders and the Corporation and to invest, disburse and deal with the same as provided herein.

2.14 Subscription Receipts and Trading

(a) The Corporation confirms that the Subscription Receipts have been conditionally approved for listing on the TSX.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to Article 3, in order to comply with the policies of the TSX, the Corporation agrees to provide written advice to the TSX of any of the following matters immediately following the occurrence of any of them and prior to the public announcement of any of them:

(ii) the occurrence of a Termination Event; and

(iii) the determination of a date for the closing of the transfer register for the Subscription Receipts.

(c) The Corporation will request that the TSX halt trading of the Subscription Receipts at such time as the Corporation and the Lead Underwriter shall agree, each acting reasonably.

If:

(a) the Prospectus contains a misrepresentation (as such term is defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)); or

(b) the Prospectus was not delivered to an original Canadian purchaser of the Subscription Receipts (an “Original Purchaser”);

each such Original Purchaser shall, following the issuance of the Underlying Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Subscription Receipts, have a right of action against the Corporation for

- 21 -

rescission to receive a full refund of the Subscription Price paid for each Subscription Receipt for which such purchaser subscribed, exercisable on notice given to the Corporation in the manner provided for in Section 11.1 not more than 180 days subsequent to the Offering Closing Date. This contractual right of rescission is granted by the Corporation alone, and specifically not by the directors or officers of the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Underwriters. The foregoing right of action for rescission is only available to an Original Purchaser while such Original Purchaser is a holder of the Underlying Common Shares issuable upon surrender of Subscription Receipts and is not assignable and may not be held for the benefit of any Person other than such Original Purchaser. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to Original Purchasers under section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario) or otherwise at law.

2.16 Cancellation of Surrendered Subscription Receipt Certificates

All Subscription Receipt Certificates surrendered to the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 3.4, 3.8 and 5.1 shall be returned to or received by the Subscription Receipt Agent for cancellation and, if required by the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall furnish the Corporation with a cancellation certificate identifying the Subscription Receipt Certificates so cancelled and the number of Subscription Receipts evidenced thereby.

The amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent, if any, less any applicable withholding taxes, to be paid to each Receiptholder under this Section 3.4 shall be satisfied by the Subscription Receipt Agent (i) by way of a pro rata share of the Earned Interest to which the Corporation would otherwise have been entitled under Section 3.2(a), and (ii) if the Dividend Equivalent exceeds the amount in (i), the excess shall be paid by the Subscription Receipt Agent as a refund of the Subscription Price by way of a pro rata share of the Escrowed Funds to which the Corporation would otherwise have been entitled under Section 3.2(a), and the Underlying Common Shares  issued pursuant hereto shall be considered to be issued for consideration equal to the Subscription Price less the amount of such refund. Any amount that cannot be satisfied by the Escrowed Funds shall be satisfied by the Corporation.

(b) In those circumstances, the Corporation will hold, as agent of any such Person, all or the relevant number of Underlying Common Shares, and the Corporation will attempt to sell such Underlying Common Shares to parties other than the Corporation and its affiliates on behalf of any such Person. Such sales (if any) will be made at such times and at such prices as the Corporation, in its sole discretion, may determine. The Corporation will not be subject to any liability for failure to sell any such Underlying Common Shares on behalf of any such Person or at any particular price on any particular day. The net proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of any such Underlying Common Shares will be delivered to any such Person, after deducting the costs of sale and any applicable withholding taxes. The Corporation will provide a cheque representing the aggregate net proceeds to CDS (if the Underlying Common Share are then held in the Book-Entry Only System) or in all other cases to the Transfer Agent in accordance with the regular practices and procedures of CDS or the Transfer Agent, as applicable.

The Subscription Receipt Agent shall only make payments under this Section 3.8 to the extent that the Escrowed Fund and the monies which have been deposited with it pursuant to Section 3.9 are sufficient. The Subscription Receipt Agent agrees to cause any amounts to be paid to the holders of Subscription Receipts pursuant to this Section 3.8 commencing no later than the Termination Payment Time.

(c) If a Termination Event occurs, the registers kept in accordance with Section 2.3 shall be closed at the close of business on the Termination Date (subject to settlement in accordance with this Section 3.8).

(f) Upon the mailing or delivery of any cheque or the making of any wire transfer as provided in Section 3.8(d), all rights evidenced by the Subscription Receipts relating thereto shall be satisfied and such Subscription Receipts shall be void and of no value or effect.

INVESTMENT OF PROCEEDS AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST

4.1 Investment of Escrowed Funds

Upon receipt of a direction from the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall invest the Escrowed Funds in Authorized Investments in its name in accordance with such direction. Any direction from the Corporation to the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be in writing and shall be provided to the Subscription Receipt Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) or any later time as may be agreed to by the Corporation and the Subscription Receipt Agent, acting reasonably, on the day on which the investment is to be made. Any such direction received by the Subscription Receipt Agent after such time or received on a non-Business Day will be handled on a best efforts basis and may result in the investment of the Escrowed Funds on the next Business Day.

 For the purpose hereof, “Authorized Investments” means (i) interest-bearing or discount debt obligations issued or guaranteed by the Government of Canada or a province of Canada or a Canadian chartered bank (which may include an affiliate or related party of the Subscription Receipt Agent) provided that such obligation is rated at least R1 (middle), in respect of short-term obligations, or A, in respect of long-term obligations, by DBRS Inc. or an equivalent rating service, and (ii) other approved investments as directed in writing jointly by the Corporation and the Lead Underwriter.

In the event that the Subscription Receipt Agent does not receive a direction or only a partial direction, the Subscription Receipt Agent will hold cash balances constituting part or all of the Escrowed Funds, pending the application or withdrawal thereof under any provisions of this Agreement, and will deposit same in its name in any Canadian chartered bank listed in Schedule I of the Bank Act (Canada), as directed by the Corporation, in the Escrow Account, at the rate of interest (if any) then current on similar deposits.

ARTICLE 6

ADJUSTMENTS

6.1 Definitions

In this Article 6, references to any “record date” refer to the particular time on such relevant date stipulated for such event and otherwise refer to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on such date.

6.2 Adjustment

The rights attaching to the Subscription Receipts are subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided as follows:

(a) If, at any time after the issuance of the Subscription Receipts and before the Transaction Closing, the Corporation:

(i) subdivides, redivides or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares;

(ii) reduces, combines, consolidates or changes its outstanding Common Shares into a lesser number of Common Shares; or

- 30 -

(iii) issues to all or substantially all the holders of Common Shares by way of a stock distribution, stock dividend or otherwise, Common Shares,

(any of such events in Sections 6.2(a)(i), 6.2(a)(ii) and 6.2(a)(iii) being a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the number of Underlying Common Shares to be issued with respect to each Subscription Receipt will be adjusted as of the record date at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization by multiplying the number of Underlying Common Shares obtainable immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which will be the number of Common Shares outstanding on the record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization.

(b) If, at any time after the issuance of the Subscription Receipts and before the Transaction Closing, there is a reclassification of Common Shares at any time outstanding or a change of the Common Shares (other than through a Common Share Reorganization) into other securities or property, or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation (including a business combination or exchange of like effect) with or into any corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger that does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other securities or property), or a transfer of the undertakings or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another entity, or a record date for any of the foregoing events occurs, (any of such events being a “Capital Reorganization”), any Receiptholder who is entitled to acquire Underlying Common Shares after the record date or effective date of such Capital Reorganization will be entitled to receive, and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Underlying Common Shares to which such Receiptholder was theretofore entitled, the aggregate number of other securities or property which such Receiptholder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date of such Capital Reorganization, the Receiptholder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Common Shares to which such Receiptholder was then entitled with respect to the Subscription Receipts, provided, however, that no such Capital Reorganization will be carried into effect unless all necessary steps have been taken to so entitle the Receiptholders. If determined appropriate by the Corporation, acting reasonably and in good faith, appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 6 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Receiptholders to the extent that the provisions set forth in this Article 6 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may be reasonable in relation to any other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of any Subscription Receipt. Any such adjustments will be made by and set forth in terms and conditions supplemental hereto approved by the Corporation, acting

- 31 -

reasonably and in good faith, and, absent manifest error, will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be the appropriate adjustment.

(c) If at any time after the issuance of the Subscription Receipts and prior to the Transaction Closing, the Corporation issues or distributes to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares, securities of the Corporation, including rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or property or assets, including evidences of indebtedness, other than dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course or dividends included in the Dividend Equivalent and other than as a result of a Common Share Reorganization or a Capital Reorganization, or a record date for any of the foregoing events occurs, there will be an appropriate adjustment in the number of Underlying Common Shares to be issued at the Transaction Closing in accordance with this Article 6 or, at the option of the Corporation, such securities, property or assets may be issued to the Subscription Receipt Agent and delivered to the Receiptholders and, for the same aggregate consideration payable, if any, in addition to the number of Underlying Common Shares to which such Receiptholder was theretofore entitled, the Receiptholder will be entitled to receive such securities, property or assets as if on the record date at which holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose thereof, such Receiptholder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Common Shares to which the Receiptholder was then entitled.

6.3 Adjustment Rules

The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made pursuant to Section 6.2:

(a) The adjustments provided for in this Article 6 are cumulative and shall apply (without duplication) to successive issues, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations, changes, distributions and any other events that require adjustment of the number of Underlying Common Shares to be issued or the number or kind of securities that can be acquired hereunder. Any adjustment referred to in Sections 6.2(a), 6.2(b), 6.2(c) or 6.3(f) shall be subject to the prior approval of the TSX.

(b) No adjustment in the number of Underlying Common Shares to be issued shall be required unless the adjustment would result in a change of at least 0.01% of the number of Underlying Common Shares to be issued, provided, however, that any adjustments that, except for the provisions of this subsection would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.

(c) No adjustment in the number of Underlying Common Shares to be issued shall be made in respect of any events described in Article 6 if the holders of the Subscription Receipts are entitled to participate in the events on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as if their Subscription Receipts had been automatically

- 32 -

exchanged immediately prior to the effective date or record date of the events. For greater certainty, any such participation by holders of Subscription Receipts in situations described in this Section 6.3(c) shall be subject to the approval of the TSX.

(d) If a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to adjustments of the number of Underlying Common Shares to be issued, the dispute shall be conclusively determined by the Corporation’s external auditors or, if they are unable or unwilling to act, by such firm of independent chartered accountants as may be selected by the directors of the Corporation and any such determination shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent and all Receiptholders. For greater certainty, determinations by such auditors or by such firm of independent chartered accountants in this Section 6.3(d) shall be subject to the approval of the TSX.

(e) If the Corporation shall set a record date to determine the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any distribution or any subscription or purchase rights in accordance with Article 6 and shall, thereafter, legally abandon its plans to pay or deliver the distribution or subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment in the number of Underlying Common Shares to be issued shall be required by reason of the setting of the record date.

(f) In case the Corporation, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than any action described in this Article 6, which, in the reasonable opinion of the directors of the Corporation, would materially affect the rights of the Receiptholders and/or the rights attached to the Subscription Receipts, then the number of Underlying Common Shares which are to be received pursuant to the Subscription Receipts shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time as the directors of the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, reasonably determine to be equitable to the Receiptholders in such circumstances.

ARTICLE 7

ENFORCEMENT

7.1 Suits by Receiptholders

Subject to the powers of Receiptholders exercisable by special resolution, all or any of the rights conferred upon any Receiptholder by any of the terms of the Subscription Receipt Certificates or of this Agreement, or of both, may be enforced by the Receiptholder by appropriate proceedings but without prejudice to the right which is hereby conferred upon the Subscription Receipt Agent to proceed in its own name to enforce each and all of the provisions contained herein for the benefit of the Receiptholders.

7.2 Immunity of Shareholders, etc.

The Subscription Receipt Agent and, by the acceptance of the Subscription Receipts and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Subscription Receipts, the Receiptholders hereby waive

7.3 Limitation of Liability

The obligations hereunder are not personally binding upon, nor shall resort hereunder be had to, the private property of any of the past, present or future directors or Shareholders of the Corporation or any successor entity or any past, present or future officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of any successor entity, but only the property of the Corporation or any successor entity shall be bound in respect hereof.

ARTICLE 8

MEETINGS OF RECEIPTHOLDERS

8.1 Right to Convene Meetings

The Subscription Receipt Agent may at any time and from time to time, and shall on receipt of a written request of the Corporation or of a Receiptholders’ Request and upon being funded and indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Corporation or by the Receiptholders signing such Receiptholders’ Request against the cost which may be incurred in connection with the calling and holding of such meeting, convene a meeting of the Receiptholders. In the event of the Subscription Receipt Agent failing to so convene a meeting within 15 days after receipt of such written request of the Corporation or such Receiptholders’ Request and funding and indemnity given as aforesaid, the Corporation or such Receiptholders, as the case may be, may convene such meeting. Every such meeting shall be held in Toronto, Ontario or at such other place as may be determined by the Subscription Receipt Agent and approved by the Corporation.

8.2 Notice

At least 10 days prior notice of any meeting of Receiptholders shall be given to the Receiptholders in the manner provided for in Section 11.2 and a copy of such notice shall be sent by mail to the Subscription Receipt Agent (unless the meeting has been called by the Subscription Receipt Agent) and to the Corporation (unless the meeting has been called by the Corporation). Such notice shall state the date (which shall be a Business Day) and time when, and the place where, the meeting is to be held, shall state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and shall contain such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Receiptholders to make a reasoned decision on the matter, but it shall not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article 8.

8.3 Chairperson

An individual (who need not be a Receiptholder) designated in writing by the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be chairperson of the meeting and if no individual is so designated, or if the individual so designated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of

- 34 -

the meeting, the Receiptholders present in person or by proxy shall choose some individual present to be chairperson.

8.4 Quorum

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.11, at any meeting of the Receiptholders a quorum shall consist of not less than two Receiptholders present in person or by proxy and holding, in aggregate, not less than 10% of the then-outstanding Subscription Receipts. If a quorum of the Receiptholders shall not be present within 30 minutes from the time fixed for holding any meeting, the meeting, if summoned by the Receiptholders or on a Receiptholders’ Request, shall be dissolved; but in any other case the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the next week (unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case it shall be adjourned to the next following Business Day) at the same time and place and no notice of the adjournment need be given. Any business may be brought before or dealt with at an adjourned meeting that might have been dealt with at the original meeting in accordance with the notice calling the same. No business shall be transacted at any meeting unless a quorum is present at the commencement of such meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Receiptholders present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened notwithstanding that they may not hold, in aggregate, at least 10% of the then outstanding Subscription Receipts.

8.5 Power to Adjourn

The chairperson of any meeting at which a quorum of the Receiptholders is present may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe.

8.6 Show of Hands

Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands except that votes on a special resolution shall be given in the manner hereinafter provided. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein provided, a declaration by the chairperson that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact.

8.7 Poll and Voting

On every special resolution, and on any other question submitted to a meeting and after a vote by show of hands when demanded by the chairperson or by one or more of the Receiptholders acting in person or by proxy and holding, in aggregate, at least 5% of the Subscription Receipts then outstanding, a poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairperson shall direct. Questions other than those required to be determined by special resolution shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the poll.

On a show of hands, every Person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a Receiptholder or as proxy for one or more absent Receiptholders, or both, shall have one vote. On a poll, each Receiptholder present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed by instrument in

- 35 -

writing shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Underlying Common Share that such Person is entitled to receive pursuant to the Subscription Receipt(s) then held or represented by such Person. A proxy need not be a Receiptholder. In the case of joint holders, any one of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others; but in case more than one of them shall be present in person or by proxy, they shall vote together in respect of Subscription Receipts of which they are joint registered holders. The chairperson of any meeting shall be entitled, both on a show of hands and on a poll, to vote in respect of the Subscription Receipts, if any, that are held or represented by the chairperson.

The Subscription Receipt Agent, or the Corporation with the approval of the Subscription Receipt Agent, may from time to time make and from time to time vary such regulations as it shall think fit for:

(a) the setting of the record date for a meeting of holders of Subscription Receipts for the purpose of determining Receiptholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at such meeting;

(b) the issue of voting certificates by any bank, trust company or other depository satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent stating that the Subscription Receipt Certificates specified therein have been deposited with it by a named Person and will remain on deposit until after the meeting, which voting certificate shall entitle the Persons named therein to be present and vote at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof or to appoint a proxy or proxies to represent them and vote for them at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof in the same manner and with the same effect as though the Persons so named in such voting certificates were the actual holders of the Subscription Receipt Certificates specified therein;

(c) the deposit of voting certificates and instruments appointing proxies at such place and time as the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Corporation or the Receiptholders convening the meeting, as the case may be, may in the notice convening the meeting direct;

(d) the deposit of voting certificates and instruments appointing proxies at some approved place or places other than the place at which the meeting is to be held and enabling particulars of such instruments appointing proxies to be mailed, faxed or otherwise sent electronically before the meeting to the Corporation or to the Subscription Receipt Agent at the place where the same is to be held and for the voting of proxies so deposited as though the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting;

(e) the form of the instrument of proxy and the manner in which the instrument of proxy must be executed; and

(f) generally for the calling of meetings of Receiptholders and the conduct of business thereat.

- 36 -

Any regulations so made shall be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith shall be valid and shall be counted. Save as such regulations may provide, the only Persons who shall be recognized at any meeting as a Receiptholder, or be entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof (subject to Section 8.9), shall be Receiptholders or their counsel, or duly appointed proxies of Receiptholders.

(b) to amend, alter or repeal any special resolution previously passed or sanctioned by the Receiptholders, provided that, to the extent that such special resolution was passed by the holders of Receiptholders and Private Placement Receiptholders voting together pursuant to Section 8.17, any special resolution to effect such amendment, alteration or repeal must be approved by Receiptholders and Private Placement Receiptholders voting together in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.17;

(c) to direct or to authorize the Subscription Receipt Agent to enforce any of the covenants on the part of the Corporation contained in this Agreement or the Subscription Receipt Certificates or to enforce any of the rights of the Receiptholders in any manner specified in such special resolution or to refrain from enforcing any such covenant or right;

CONCERNING THE SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT AGENT

10.1 Rights and Duties of Subscription Receipt Agent

(a) In the exercise of the rights and duties prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent subscription receipt agent would exercise in comparable circumstances. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Subscription Receipt Agent from liability for its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(b) The obligation of the Subscription Receipt Agent to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding for the purpose of enforcing any rights of the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Receiptholders hereunder shall be conditional upon the Receiptholders furnishing, when required by notice by the Subscription Receipt Agent, sufficient funds to commence or to continue such act, action or proceeding and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent to protect and to hold harmless the Subscription Receipt Agent against the costs, charges and expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby and any loss and damage it may suffer by reason thereof. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Subscription Receipt Agent to expend or to risk its own funds or otherwise to incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless indemnified as aforesaid.

(c) The Subscription Receipt Agent may, before commencing or at any time during the continuance of any such act, action or proceeding, require the Receiptholders at whose instance it is acting to deposit with the Subscription Receipt Agent the Subscription Receipts held by them, for which Subscription Receipts the Subscription Receipt Agent shall issue receipts.

(d) Every provision of this Agreement that by its terms relieves the Subscription Receipt Agent of liability or entitles it to rely upon any evidence submitted to it is subject to the provisions of this Section 10.1 and of Section 10.2.

(e) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall have no duties except those expressly set forth herein, and it shall not be bound by any notice of a claim or demand with respect to, or any waiver, modification, amendment, termination or rescission of, this Agreement, unless received by it in writing and signed by the other Parties hereto and, if its duties herein are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

(f) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be responsible for ensuring that the Proceeds are used in the manner contemplated by the Prospectus.

- 42 -

(g) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be held liable for refusing to act unless it has received clear and reasonable documentation which complies with the terms of this Agreement, which documentation does not require the exercise of any discretion or independent judgment.

(h) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever with respect to the delivery or non-delivery of any certificates whether delivered by hand, mail or any other means.

(i) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the deficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any securities deposited with it.

(c) Whenever it is provided in this Agreement that the Corporation shall deposit with the Subscription Receipt Agent resolutions, certificates, reports, opinions, requests, orders or other documents, it is intended that the truth, accuracy and good faith on the effective date thereof and the facts and opinions stated in all such documents so deposited shall, in each and every such case, be conditions precedent to the right of the Corporation to have the Subscription Receipt Agent take the action to be based thereon.

(d) Proof of the execution of an instrument in writing, including a Receiptholders’ Request, by any Receiptholder may be made by the certificate of a notary public, or other officer with similar powers, that the Person signing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution or in any other manner which the Subscription Receipt Agent may consider adequate.

- 43 -

(e) The Subscription Receipt Agent may act and rely and shall be protected in acting and relying upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, letter, or other paper document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by or on behalf of the proper party or parties.

(f) The Subscription Receipt Agent may employ or retain such Counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisers as it may reasonably require for the purpose of determining and discharging its duties hereunder upon notice to the Corporation and may pay reasonable remuneration for all services so performed by any of them, without taxation of costs of any Counsel, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such experts or advisers who have been appointed with due care by the Subscription Receipt Agent.

- 44 -

(c) the Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be bound to give notice to any Person of the execution hereof;

(e) the Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless the Subscription Receipt Agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, claims, actions or demands whatsoever which may be brought against the Subscription Receipt Agent which it may suffer or incur as a result of or arising out of the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including any and all legal fees and disbursements of whatever kind or nature, save only in the event of the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Subscription Receipt Agent. It is understood and agreed that this indemnification shall survive the termination or discharge of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Subscription Receipt Agent.

10.6 Replacement of Subscription Receipt Agent; Successor by Merger

(a) The Subscription Receipt Agent may resign its appointment and be discharged from all other duties and liabilities hereunder, subject to this Section 10.6, by giving to the Corporation not less than 30 days prior notice in writing or such shorter prior notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. The Receiptholders by special resolution shall have power at any time to remove the existing Subscription Receipt Agent and to appoint a new subscription receipt agent. In the event of the Subscription Receipt Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation shall forthwith appoint a new subscription receipt agent unless a new subscription receipt agent has already been appointed by the Receiptholders; failing such appointment by the Corporation, the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent or any Receiptholder may apply to a justice of the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario) on such notice as such justice may direct, for the appointment of a new subscription receipt agent; but any new subscription receipt agent so appointed by the Corporation or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Receiptholders. Any new subscription receipt agent appointed under any provision of this Section 10.6 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the Province of Ontario and, if required by the applicable legislation for any other provinces, in such other provinces. On any such appointment the new subscription receipt agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder. At the request of the Corporation or the new subscription receipt agent, the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent, upon payment of the amounts, if any, due to it pursuant to Section 5.3, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the new subscription receipt agent all property and

- 45 -

money held and all records kept by the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder or in connection herewith.

(b) Upon the appointment of a successor subscription receipt agent, the Corporation shall promptly notify the Receiptholders thereof in the manner provided for in Article 11 hereof.

(c) Any corporation into or with which the Subscription Receipt Agent may be merged or consolidated or amalgamated, or any corporation resulting therefrom to which the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be the successor to the Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder without any further act on its part or any of the Parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a successor subscription receipt agent under Section 10.6(a).

10.11 Anti-Money Laundering and Privacy

The Subscription Receipt Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be liable for refusing to act if, due to a lack of information or for any other reason whatsoever, the Subscription Receipt Agent, in its sole judgment, acting reasonably, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Subscription Receipt Agent, in its sole judgment, acting reasonably, determine at any time that its acting under this Agreement has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on 10 days prior written notice sent to all Parties provided that (i) the Subscription Receipt Agent’s written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Subscription Receipt Agent’s satisfaction, acting reasonably, within such 10 day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

- 51 -

at the date of such certificate the number of Subscription Receipts owned legally or beneficially by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, and the Subscription Receipt Agent, in making the computations in Section 8.16, shall be entitled to act and rely on such certificate without requiring further evidence thereof.

(a) if the Transaction Closing occurs on or before the Deadline, to automatically receive, without any action on the part of the Receiptholder and without payment of additional consideration, one Underlying Common Share for each Subscription Receipt held by the Receiptholder (subject to applicable adjustments), together with an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalent, if any, less any applicable withholding taxes; or
