The Company has prepared and filed with the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “Reviewing Authority”) and the Canadian securities regulatory authorities (together with the Reviewing Authority, the “Qualifying Authorities”) of each of the other provinces of Canada (including British Columbia, collectively, the “Qualifying Provinces”) in accordance with National Instruments 44-101 and 44-102, a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus dated August 16, 2005 relating to Debt Securities, Preferred Shares, Non-Voting Shares, Common Shares, Warrants to Purchase Equity Securities, Warrants to Purchase Debt Securities, Share Purchase Contracts and Share Purchase or Equity Units (in the English and French languages, as applicable, the “Canadian Preliminary Prospectus”). The Company has also prepared and filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively called the

The Company has also prepared and filed (1) with the Qualifying Authorities, in accordance with National Instruments 44-101 and the Shelf Procedures, a final short form base shelf prospectus dated August 24, 2005 relating to Debt Securities, Preferred Shares, Non-Voting Shares, Common Shares, Warrants to Purchase Equity Securities, Warrants to Purchase Debt Securities, Share Purchase Contracts and Share Purchase or Equity Units (in the English and French languages, as applicable, the “Canadian Final Prospectus”) and has obtained from the Reviewing Authority an MRRS Decision Document for the Canadian Final Prospectus for and on behalf of itself and each of the other Qualifying Authorities pursuant to National Policy 43-201 Mutual Reliance Review System for Prospectuses and Annual Information Forms and (2) with the Commission an amendment to the registration statement on Form F-10, including the Canadian Final Prospectus in the English language with such deletions therefrom and additions thereto as are permitted or required by Form F-10 and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission) (the “U.S. Final Prospectus”).

The Company has filed with the Qualifying Authorities, in accordance with National Instrument 44-102 — Shelf Distributions (the “Shelf Procedures”), a preliminary prospectus supplement dated May 15, 2006 to the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus (the “Canadian Preliminary Supplement”) in the Qualifying Provinces in both the English and French languages, and has filed with the Commission on May 15, 2006, in respect of the offering of the Securities, a preliminary prospectus supplement (the “U.S. Preliminary Supplement”) which is substantially similar to the Canadian Preliminary Supplement (with such deletions therefrom and additions thereto as are permitted or required by Form F-10 and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission).

The Company will prepare and file with the Qualifying Authorities, in accordance with the Shelf Procedures, on May 15, 2006, and in any event within the earlier of: (A) the date the final prospectus supplement to the Canadian Final Prospectus (the “Canadian Final Supplement”) is first sent or delivered to a purchaser; and (B) two Business Days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Canadian Final Supplement, in both the English and French languages, setting forth the Shelf Information (defined below), and will prepare and file with the Commission by May 16, 2006, in accordance with General Instruction II.L of Form F-10, the Canadian Final Supplement in the English language (with such deletions therefrom and additions thereto as are permitted or

The information, if any, included in the Canadian Final Supplement that is omitted from the Canadian Final Prospectus but that is deemed under the Shelf Procedures to be incorporated by reference into the Canadian Final Prospectus as of the date of the Canadian Final Supplement is referred to as the “Shelf Information”.

Each prospectus prepared by the Company prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, in each case including the documents incorporated by reference therein, that omits the Shelf Information is herein called a “preliminary prospectus”.

The prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it became effective, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein referred to as the “U.S. Prospectus”, except that when the U.S. Preliminary Supplement is furnished to the Agents (whether or not such prospectus is yet required to be filed under the Securities Act), the term “U.S. Prospectus” shall also include the U.S. Preliminary Supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, and when the U.S. Final Supplement is furnished to the Agents (whether or not such prospectus is yet required to be filed under the Securities Act), the term “U.S. Prospectus” shall also include the U.S. Preliminary Supplement and the U.S. Final Supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein.

The Canadian Final Prospectus for which an MRRS Decision Document has been obtained from the Reviewing Authority, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, is herein referred to as the “Canadian Prospectus,” except that when a Canadian Final Supplement is (a) furnished to the Agents for use in connection with the offering of the Securities in Canada or (b) filed with the Reviewing Authority and all Qualifying Authorities, the term “Canadian Prospectus” shall include the Canadian Final Supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference therein. Any amendment to the Canadian Prospectus, any amended or supplemental prospectus or auxiliary material, information, evidence, return, report, application, statement or document relating to the sale of the Securities that may be filed by or on behalf of the Company under the securities laws of the Province of British Columbia and the Qualifying Provinces prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) or, where such document is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Canadian Prospectus, prior to the expiry of the

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each affiliate of any Agent which assists such Agent in the distribution of the Securities and each person, if any, who controls any Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses (other than loss of profits), claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, the legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Canadian Prospectus or the U.S. Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent.

In no event shall the indemnity provided in this Section 7 enure to the benefit of any person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Each Agent agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Agent, but only with reference to information relating to such Agent furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent through the Agents expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Canadian Prospectus and the U.S. Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto, any preliminary prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or Time of Sale Information.

If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either of the two preceding

paragraphs, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon request of the Indemnified Person, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person or (iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Agents, each affiliate of any Agent which assists such Agent in the distribution of the Securities and such control persons of Agents shall be designated in writing by the first of the named Agents on Schedule I hereto and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and such control persons of the Company or authorized representatives shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request and (ii) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such

settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

If the indemnification provided for in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 7 is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of such Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the aggregate fee payable by the Company to the Agents bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Agents on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Agents and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Agent be required to contribute any amount in excess of such aggregate fee or any portion of such fee actually received. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Agents’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section

7 are several in the percentages set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto, and not joint.

The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law of in equity.

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Agent or any person controlling any Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any other person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

8. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of any of the Agents, by notice given to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the Toronto Stock Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii) trading of any securities of or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either Federal or New York State authorities or in Canada by the Canadian federal or provincial authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred, developed or come into effect any event, action, state, condition, or major financial occurrence of national or international consequence or any law or regulation, any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the Agents, is material and adverse to the financial markets in Canada or the United States or (v) there shall have occurred a Material Adverse Effect and (b) the occurrence of any of the events specified in clauses (a)(i) through (v) above, makes it, in the judgment of the Agents, impracticable to market the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectuses.

The rights of termination contained in Section 8 may be exercised by any of the Agents and are in addition to any other rights or remedies any of the Agents may have in respect of any default, act or failure to act or non-compliance by the Company in respect of any of the matters contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise. In the event of any such termination, there shall be no further liability on the part of the Agents to the Company or on the part of the Company to the Agents except in respect of any liability which may have arisen prior to or arise after such termination under Sections 7 and 10. A notice of termination given by an Agent under Section 8 shall not be binding upon any other Agent.

9. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Agents, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the Agents’ obligations cannot be fulfilled, the Company agrees to reimburse the Agents or such Agents as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Agents in connection with this Agreement or the offering of Securities.

10. This Agreement shall enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company, each affiliate of any Agent which assists such Agent in the distribution of the Securities, the Agents, any controlling persons referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

11. TD Securities Inc. is hereby authorized by each of the other Agents to act on its behalf and the Company shall be entitled to and shall act on any notice given in accordance with this Section 11 or agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Agents by TD Securities Inc. which represents and warrants that it has irrevocable authority to bind the Agents, except in respect of any consent to a settlement pursuant to Section 7 which consent shall be given by the Indemnified Party, a notice of termination pursuant to Section 8 which notice may be given by any of the Agents. TD Securities Inc. shall consult with the other Agents concerning any matter in respect of which it acts as representative of the Agents. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Agents shall be given at the addresses set forth in Schedule I hereto. Notices to the Company shall be given to it at Floor 8, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx X0X 0X0 (Facsimile: 604 435-5579); Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

12. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

13. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.

Considerations”, and in the final paragraph under the heading “Eligibility for Investment,” insofar as the statements purport to describe the provisions of the laws and documents referred to therein, are accurate and fair summaries of the matters described therein;

(xvii) no facts came to such counsel’s attention which gave such counsel reason to believe that the Canadian Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other financial and statistical data contained therein or omitted therefrom, as to which such counsel need express no view), as of its date or the date of such opinion, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

ANNEX B

FORM OPINION OF
SKADDEN, ARPS, SLATE, XXXXXXX & XXXX LLP

On the basis of the foregoing, (i) the Registration Statement, at each time it became effective, and the Prospectus, as of its date, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations (except that in each case we do not express any view as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial or statistical information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom) and (ii) no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that the Registration Statement, at each time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that in each case we do not express any view as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial or statistical information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom or the statements contained in the exhibits to the Registration Statement (except to the extent the Incorporated Documents are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement)). In addition, on the basis of the foregoing, no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that we do not express any view as to the financial statements, schedules and other financial or statistical information included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom or the statements contained in the exhibits to the Registration Statement (except to the extent the Incorporated Documents are filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement)).

As used herein, “Applicable Time” means 4:15 p.m. (Eastern time) on May 15, 2006 and “General Disclosure Package” means the Issuer General Use Free Writing Prospectus(es) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the Preliminary Prospectus and the information included on Schedule 1 to the Agency Agreement.

The Company meets the general eligibility requirements for use of Form F-10 under the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations.

The execution and delivery by the Company of the Agency Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the issuance and sale of the Securities, will not violate or conflict with, or result in any contravention of, any Applicable Law or any Applicable Order.

No Governmental Approval, which has not been obtained or taken and is not in full force and effect, is required to authorize, or is required for, the execution or delivery of the Agency Agreement by the Company or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby.

To our knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Company is a party or to which any property of the Company is subject that are required to be disclosed in the Prospectus and no contracts or documents of a character required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement that are not so disclosed or filed, except that we do not express any opinion in this paragraph 4 with respect to legal or governmental proceedings relating to matters of Canadian telecommunications regulation.

The Company is not and, solely after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

We hereby confirm that, although the discussion set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” does not purport to summarize all possible United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Securities by U.S. Holders (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement), such discussion constitutes a fair and accurate summary of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Securities to U.S. Holders who purchase Securities pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement.
