ARTICLE 2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
2.1 | Required Registration |
(a) | Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time and from time to time during the Registration Period, the Holders may request the Corporation to file a Prospectus Supplement offering all or part of the Registrable Securities (such offering being hereinafter referred to as a “Demand Offering”). Such a request shall be in writing and shall specify the number of Registrable Securities to be sold (the “Demand Registrable Securities”), the intended method of disposition and the jurisdictions (which may only include Canada or any province or territory thereof and/or the United States) in which the Holders, acting reasonably, request that the Demand Offering be effected (provided that if the Holders request the Demand Offering to be effected only in the United States, then the Corporation shall also file the Prospectus Supplement in one province of Canada solely to the extent required for the purposes of MJDS qualification). Subject to Section 2.1(d), the Corporation shall not be obligated to effect more than four underwritten Demand Offerings in total during the Registration Period. For the purposes of this subsection, a Demand Offering will not be considered as having been effected until either (i) a Prospectus Supplement has been filed with the Commissions and/or the SEC, as applicable, pursuant to which the Demand Registrable Securities are to be sold, (ii) the Holders have withdrawn their request or (iii) the Holders have failed to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement with respect to |
5
such request. In the event that the Corporation proposes to offer and sell its securities as part of any Demand Offering initiated by the Holders under this Agreement, and if the managing underwriter or underwriters advise the Corporation in good faith that the inclusion of securities requested by the Corporation to be included in such offering may, in their opinion, have an adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the Demand Registrable Securities in such offering, then the number of securities to be offered by the Corporation for its own account in such offering shall be reduced as necessary to avoid such adverse effect. |
(b) | The Corporation shall be entitled to postpone the filing of a Prospectus Supplement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant hereto (or withdraw any Prospectus Supplement that has been filed by it pursuant hereto) if, at the time it receives the Demand Offering request or before the Demand Offering has been effected, the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that the Demand Offering should not be effected or continued because (i) it would materially interfere with any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other transaction involving the Corporation, (ii) it would require the Corporation to disclose any material nonpublic information which would reasonably be likely to be detrimental to the Corporation and gives prompt notice of such determination to the Holder, (iii) any offering documents require amendment or supplement to comply with the Securities Laws, provided that such postponement shall be limited to the period of time reasonably required for the Corporation to make such amendment or supplement or (iv) the Corporation has contractually agreed to a blackout in connection with a primary distribution, provided that such blackout shall be limited to a period not exceeding 120 days from the time of a request from Pershing Square. |
(c) | The Corporation shall not be required to effect a Demand Offering in connection with an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities unless the Demand Registrable Securities have an aggregate market price of at least $150 million. Market price for the purposes of the foregoing shall be calculated on the basis of the average of the volume weighted average trading prices of the Common Shares over the New York Stock Exchange on each of the 15 trading days immediately preceding the delivery to the Corporation of the request for the Demand Offering. |
(d) | If during the Registration Period the Corporation proposes to file a Prospectus Supplement in Canada and/or the United States in order to permit the issuance of its Common Shares pursuant to an underwritten offering for its own account, in a form and manner that, with appropriate changes, would permit the offering of Registrable Securities under such Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation shall give reasonably prompt notice of its intention to do so to the Holders and shall use reasonable efforts to include in the proposed distribution such number of Registrable |
6
Securities (the “Piggy Back Registrable Securities”, and together with the Demand Registrable Securities, the “Designated Registrable Securities”) as the Holders shall request (such offering hereinafter referred to as a “Piggy Back Registration”, and together with a Demand Offering, a “Secondary Registration”) within ten days after the giving of such notice, upon the same terms (including the method of distribution) as such distribution; provided that (i) the Corporation shall not be required to include all such Piggy Back Registrable Securities in any such distribution by the Corporation if the Corporation is advised in good faith by its managing underwriter or underwriters that the inclusion of any such Piggy Back Registrable Securities may, in their opinion, have an adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the securities being offered by the Corporation, in which case the number of Piggy Back Registrable Securities shall be reduced as necessary, and (ii) the Corporation may at any time, at its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, withdraw such Prospectus Supplement and abandon the proposed distribution in which the Holders requested to participate; provided, that the Corporation will pay the Registration Expenses in connection with such withdrawn Prospectus Supplement. The failure of the Holders to respond within the periods referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Holders’ rights under this Section 2.1(d) with respect to such Piggy Back Registration. The Holders may also waive their rights under this Section 2.1(d) by giving written notice to the Corporation. No offering of Registrable Securities under this subsection 2.1(d) shall relieve the Corporation of its obligations to effect Demand Offerings pursuant to subsection 2.1(a) hereof. |
2.2 | Selection of Underwriters for Underwritten Demand Offerings |
Upon requesting a Demand Registration for an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, the Holders shall, with the approval of the Corporation (not to be unreasonably withheld), select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to effect the distribution in connection with such underwritten Demand Offering, it being acknowledged by the Holders that the participation of a registrant shall be required in Canada and a registered broker-dealer in the United States in connection with each underwritten Secondary Registration hereunder and it being further acknowledged that the investment banker(s) and/or manager(s) selected by the Holder must be of nationally recognized standing in the United States and/or Canada (as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders acknowledge that the Corporation shall have the sole right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to effect the distribution in connection with any Piggy Back Registration and shall have no obligation to consult with the Holders with respect to such selection.
2.3 | Registration Expenses |
Except as expressly provided below and in section 2.1(d), the Holders will pay all Registration Expenses; provided, that (i) the Corporation shall be solely responsible for
7
the expenses related to the Base Prospectus and any other Registration Expenses that it would have incurred even in the absence of a request for a Secondary Registration under this Agreement (ii) the Corporation shall be solely responsible for the expenses payable in connection with registration of securities of the Corporation issuable in primary offerings by the Corporation (iii) Registration Expenses payable in connection with any Piggy Back Registration or any Demand Offering in which the Corporation offers unissued securities pursuant to Section 2.1(a) shall be allocated pro rata between the Holders and the Corporation, provided that, any Registration Expenses in respect of fees, disbursements and expenses payable to counsel of the Holders shall at all times be the sole responsibility of the Holders.

10
(k) | in the event of the issuance of any order or ruling suspending the effectiveness of a prospectus receipt or the Registration Statement or any order suspending or preventing the use of the Prospectus or the Registration Statement or suspending the Registration of any of the Designated Registrable Securities by such prospectus or registration statement or cease trading the distribution in any applicable province or territory of Canada or in the United States, the Corporation will, as expeditiously as possible after actual knowledge by the Corporation thereof, notify the Holders of such event and use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order or ruling; and |
(l) | during the Registration Period, the Corporation will promptly prepare and file French translations of all documents incorporated by reference into the Prospectus. |
3.2 | Obligations of the Holders |
In connection with any Secondary Registration, the Holders shall:

11
notification by the Corporation under subsection 3.1(g), until the Corporation advises the Holders that such suspension has been lifted or that it has filed an amendment to the Prospectus or the Registration Statement and has provided copies of such amendment to the Holders. The Holders shall, if so directed by the Corporation, deliver to the Corporation (at the Corporation’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in the Holders’ possession of the Prospectus covering the Designated Registrable Securities that was in effect at the time of receipt of such notice. |

12
amendment thereto which at the time and in light of the circumstances under which it was made contains or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation; (ii) any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any applicable Commission, court or other competent authority based upon any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation in the Prospectus, the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto or based upon any failure or alleged failure to comply with applicable Securities Laws (other than any failure to comply with applicable Securities Laws by the Holder or the underwriter or underwriters which is not as a result of a failure or alleged failure of the Corporation to comply with applicable Securities Laws); and (iii) non-compliance by the Corporation with any of the Securities Laws in connection with a Secondary Registration and the distribution effected thereunder, except in the case of any of the foregoing insofar as (A) any information or statement referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this subsection 4.2(a) has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders or the underwriter or underwriters expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1; (B) caused by the Holders’ or any underwriter’s failure to deliver to a purchaser of Designated Registrable Securities, a copy of the Prospectus or the Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto or to otherwise comply with applicable Securities Laws in a manner which is not a result of a failure or alleged failure of the Corporation to comply with applicable Securities Laws or (C) any amounts paid in settlement of any claim have been paid if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Corporation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) | By Holders |
The Holders agree to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Corporation and each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of the Designated Registrable Securities, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls such underwriter (within the meaning of any applicable Securities Laws) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon: (i) any information or statement contained in the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, any filing made in connection with the Registration under the securities or other “blue sky” rules or any amendment thereto which has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders in writing expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1 which at the time and in light of the circumstances under which it was made contains a misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation; (ii) any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any applicable Commission, court or other competent authority based upon (A) any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation in the Prospectus or Registration Statement or any amendment thereto based upon any information or statement which
13
has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders in writing expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1, or (B) any failure or alleged failure to comply with applicable Securities Laws by the Holders which is not as a result of a failure or alleged failure of the Corporation to comply with applicable Securities Laws; and (iii) the Holders’ failure to deliver to a purchaser of Designated Registrable Securities, a copy of the Prospectus or the Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto or to otherwise comply with applicable Securities Laws in a manner which is not a result of a failure or alleged failure of the Corporation to comply with applicable Securities Laws, except in the case of any of the foregoing insofar as (A) caused by the Corporation or any underwriter’s failure to deliver to a purchaser of Designated Registrable Securities a copy of the Prospectus or the Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto or to otherwise comply with applicable Securities Laws; (B) any amounts paid in settlement of any claim have been paid if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) | Procedure |
Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, acting reasonably. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party may settle any claims without the express written consent of an indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld where such consent does not contain any admission of liability).

party and will survive any transfer of securities pursuant thereto. In the event the indemnification is unavailable in whole or in part for any reason under this section 4.2, the Corporation and the Holders shall contribute to the aggregate of all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Corporation and the Holders in connection with the event giving rise to liability.

The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Section 4.2, each Holder is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other indemnified persons referred to in Section 4.2(a). In this regard, each Holder will act as trustee for such indemnified persons of the covenants of the Corporation under this Section 4.2 with respect to such indemnified persons and accepts these trusts and will hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of such indemnified persons.

The Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that, with respect to this Section 4.2, the Corporation is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other indemnified persons referred to in Section 4.2(b). In this regard, the Corporation will act as trustee for such indemnified persons of the covenants of the Holders under this Section 4.2 with respect to such indemnified persons and accepts these trusts and will hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of such indemnified persons.
