7.1		Disputes
		The provisions of this Section 7 shall govern all disputes, controversies or claims (whether arising in contract, delict, tort or otherwise) between the Parties that may arise out of, or relate to, or arise under or in connection with, this Agreement (a “Dispute”).
7.2		Negotiation
		The Parties hereby undertake to attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute by way of negotiation between senior executives who have authority to settle such Dispute. In furtherance of the foregoing, any Party may initiate the negotiation by way of a notice (an “Escalation Notice”) demanding an in-person meeting involving representatives of the Parties at a senior level of management of the Parties (or if the Parties agree, of the appropriate strategic business unit or division within such Party). A copy of any Escalation Notice shall be given to the Chief Legal Officer of each Party (which copy shall state that it is an Escalation Notice pursuant to this Agreement). Any agenda, location or procedures for such negotiation may be established by the Parties from time to time; provided, however, that the negotiation shall be completed within thirty (30) days of the date of the Escalation Notice or within such longer period as the Parties may agree in writing prior to the expiration of the initial thirty-day period.
7.3		Mediation

	(a)		If the Dispute has not been resolved by negotiation as provided in Section 7.2 within thirty (30) days of the date of the Escalation Notice or such extended period as may be agreed by the Parties, or should the Parties fail to meet within the said thirty-day period, the Parties shall endeavour to settle the Dispute by mediation. The Party wishing to refer a Dispute to mediation shall give written notice to the other (the “Mediation Notice”) describing the Dispute, requiring that the Dispute be submitted to mediation and proposing the name of a suitable person to be appointed mediator.
	(b)		If the other Party rejects the proposed mediator and the Parties are unable to agree on a mediator within fifteen (15) days of the Mediation Notice, then either Party may request the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution to appoint a mediator from the CPR Panel of Distinguished Neutrals.

22

	(c)		The mediator shall be entitled to make recommendations to the Parties which, unless the Parties agree otherwise, shall not be binding upon them.
	(d)		The mediation shall continue until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the Parties reach agreement as to the resolution of the Dispute, (ii) the mediator makes a finding that there is no possibility of resolution through mediation, or (iii) sixty (60) days have elapsed since the appointment of the mediator.
	(e)		Each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with the mediation; the fees and disbursements of the mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties.
	(f)		If the Parties accept any recommendation made by the mediator or otherwise reach agreement as to the resolution of the Dispute, such agreement shall be recorded in writing and signed by the Parties, whereupon it shall become binding upon the Parties and have, as between them, the authority of a final judgment or arbitral award (res judicata).
	(g)		The mediation shall be confidential and neither the Parties (including their auditors and insurers) nor their counsel and any Person necessary to the conduct of the mediation nor the mediator or any other neutral involved in the mediation shall disclose the existence, content (including submissions made, positions adopted and any evidence or documents presented or exchanged), or outcome of any mediation hereunder without the prior written consent of the Parties, except as may be required by Applicable Law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange.
	(h)		In the event that a Dispute is referred to arbitration in accordance with Section 7.4 below, the mediator or any other neutral involved in the mediation shall not take part in the arbitration, whether as a witness or otherwise, and any recommendation made by him in connection with the mediation shall not be relied upon by either Party without the consent of the other Party and of the mediator or neutral, and neither Party shall make use of or rely upon information supplied, positions adopted, or arguments raised, by the other Party in the mediation.
	(i)		Subject to the right of the Parties to seek interim or conservatory relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, as provided below in Section 7.4 (e) neither Party shall be entitled to refer a Dispute to arbitration unless the dispute has first been the subject of an Escalation Notice and been referred to mediation in accordance with Sections 7.2 and 7.3.

23

7.4 Arbitration

	(a)		Any Dispute which has not been resolved by negotiation or mediation as provided herein shall, upon the request of either Party, be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”) then in force (the “LCIA Rules”).
	(b)		The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. The place of arbitration shall be Montréal, Canada. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
	(c)		The costs of the arbitration shall be specified by the arbitral tribunal and shall be borne by the unsuccessful Party, unless the arbitral tribunal, in its discretion, determines a different apportionment, taking all relevant circumstances into account. The costs of arbitration include, in addition to the costs of the arbitration as determined by the LCIA Court under Article 28.1 of the LCIA Rules, the legal and other costs incurred by the Parties, including: (i) the reasonable travel and other expenses of witnesses; (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses of expert witnesses; and (iii) the costs of legal representation and assistance, to the extent that the arbitral tribunal determines that the amount of such costs is reasonable.
	(d)		The arbitral tribunal shall endeavour to issue its award within sixty (60) days of the last hearing of the substantive issues in dispute between the Parties; however, the arbitral tribunal shall not lose jurisdiction if it fails to respect this delay. The arbitral award shall be final and binding.
	(e)		For the purposes of any interim or conservatory measure that may be sought in aid of the arbitration proceedings, the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court in the judicial district of Montréal, Canada, and waive any right to invoke, and they hereby agree not to invoke, any claim of forum non conveniens, inconvenient forum, or transfer or change of venue. Without prejudice to such interim or conservatory remedies as may be obtained from a competent court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant interim or conservatory remedies and to award damages for the failure of any Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.
	(f)		Neither the Parties (including their auditors and insurers) nor their counsel and any Person necessary to the conduct of the arbitration nor the arbitrators shall disclose the existence, content (including submissions and any evidence or documents presented or exchanged), or outcome of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written

24

consent of the Parties, except as may be required by Applicable Law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange.
