  • (c) At any time and from time to time, the Corporation shall be entitled to direct the Subscription Receipt Agent by written notice (a) not to deposit any new amounts in any Approved Bank specified in the notice and/or (b) to withdraw all or any of the Escrowed Funds that may then be deposited with any Approved Bank specified in the notice and redeposit such amount with one or more of such other Approved Banks as specified in the notice. With respect to any withdrawal notice, the Subscription Receipt Agent will endeavor to withdraw such amount specified in the notice as soon as reasonably practicable and the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that such specified amount remains at the sole risk of the Holders prior to and after such withdrawal.
  • (d) For tax reporting purposes, all interest earned from the investment of the Escrowed Funds in any taxation year shall (i) to the extent such interest is distributed by the Subscription Receipt Agent to any person or entity pursuant to the terms of this Indenture during such taxation year, be allocated to such person or entity, and (ii) otherwise be allocated to the Corporation in the taxation year that it was earned, notwithstanding that no such amount

{31}------------------------------------------------

has been distributed. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that: (i) no amount of interest shall be distributed to the Underwriters and the Subscription Receipt Agent, and (ii) any amount allocable to the Corporation is compensation for the Corporation processing the T5 Forms (and their provincial equivalent) to be filed with the Canada Revenue Agency (or its provincial equivalent) and provided to the relevant persons or entities in respect of the interest earned on the Escrowed Funds. The Holders and the Corporation agree to provide the Subscription Receipt Agent with their certified tax identification numbers and other forms, documents and information that the Subscription Receipt Agent may request in order to fulfill any tax reporting function.

(e) Any bank charges and similar fees as well as losses, if any, on such investments shall be debited to the Escrowed Funds account(s) and constitute an expense of the Corporation incurred to earn the amounts allocable to it pursuant to Section 6.2(d).

  • (a) Upon receipt of an Escrow Release Notice delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent prior to the Termination Date in accordance with Section 4.1(b), the Subscription Receipt Agent shall as soon as practicable:

  • (ii) release an amount of the Pro Rata Interest to each Holder (less any withholding tax required by applicable law to be withheld in respect thereof); and

Upon receipt of the wire or delivery of the cheque (provided such cheque has been honoured for payment), all rights evidenced by the Subscription Receipts held by a Holder shall be satisfied and such Subscription Receipts shall be void and of no further value or effect. The amounts paid to each Subscription Receiptholder under this Section shall be satisfied by the Escrowed Funds. The obligation to make the payment of the amounts specified in this Section shall be satisfied, in the case of CDS Subscription Receipts, by wire transfer of immediately available funds made by the Subscription Receipt Agent to the Depository or otherwise by

{32}------------------------------------------------

the Subscription Receipt Agent mailing cheques payable to the Subscription Receiptholders at their registered addresses.

6.4 Escrowed Funds Held

In addition to the other rights granted to Holders in this Indenture, until the earlier of the Termination Date and the Escrow Release Date, each Holder has a claim against the Escrowed Funds held by the Subscription Receipt Agent and against the Corporation, in the amount equal to \$4.30 for each HD Subscription Receipt held by such Holder and \$6.88 for each FT Subscription Receipt held by such Holder, which claim shall subsist until such time as the Underlying Shares or FT Shares, as applicable, issuable upon the conversion of HD Subscription Receipts or subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreement are issued or such amount is paid in full. In the event that, prior to the earlier of the Termination Date and the first Business Day following the Escrow Release Date, the Corporation (i) makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or any proceeding is instituted by the Corporation seeking relief on behalf thereof as a debtor, or to adjudicate the Corporation a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding-up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of the Corporation or the debts of the Corporation under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, receiver and manager, trustee, custodian or similar official for the Corporation or any substantial part of the property and assets of the Corporation or the Corporation takes any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above, or (ii) the Corporation shall be declared bankrupt, or a receiver, receiver and manager, trustee, custodian or similar official is appointed for the Corporation or any substantial part of its property and assets, the Corporation or an encumbrancer shall legally take possession of any substantial part of the property or assets of the Corporation or a distress or execution or any similar process is levied or enforced against such property and assets and remains unsatisfied for such period as would permit such property or such part thereof to be sold thereunder, the right of each Holder to be issued the Underlying Shares upon the conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts or FT Shares pursuant to subscription under the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreement will terminate and such holder will be entitled to assert a claim against the Escrowed Funds held by the Subscription Receipt Agent and against the Corporation for any shortfall, in an amount equal to \$4.30 for each HD Subscription Receipt held by such Holder and \$6.88 for each FT Subscription Receipt held by such Holder plus Interest earned thereon less any withholding tax required by applicable law to be withheld in respect thereof.

6.5 Representation Regarding Third Party Interests

Each party to this Indenture except the Subscription Receipt Agent (in this Section 6.5 referred to as a "representing party") hereby represents to the Subscription Receipt Agent that any account to be opened by, or interest to be held by, the Subscription Receipt Agent in connection with this Indenture, for or to the credit of such representing party, either (i) is not intended to be used by or on behalf of any third party; or (ii) is intended to be used by or on behalf of a third party, in which case such representing party hereby agrees to complete, execute and deliver forthwith to the Subscription Receipt Agent a declaration of third party interest in the Subscription Receipt Agent's prescribed form in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and the regulations thereto, or in such other form as may be satisfactory to it, as to the particulars of such third party.

{33}------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE 7 ADJUSTMENTS

7.1 Adjustment of Number of Underlying Shares and FT Shares

The Subscription Receipts shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the following circumstances and manner:

  • (a) Subject to Section 7.1, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Escrow Release Date, the Corporation shall:
  • (i) subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;
  • (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or
  • (iii) issue Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or make a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares;

then, in each such event, the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements shall be adjusted immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination or consolidation, or the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or distribution, as the case may be, by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares or FT Shares issuable by a fraction:

  • (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such date; and
  • (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such date.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 7.1(a) shall occur. Any such issue or distribution of Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such issue or distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.1(c).

(b) Subject to Section 7.2, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Escrow Release Date, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price on such record date, the number of

{34}------------------------------------------------

Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements by a fraction:

  • (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable; and
  • (ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current Market Price.

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.

  • (c) Subject to Section 7.1, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Escrow Release Date, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of:
  • (i) shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation;
  • (ii) rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) or other securities of the Corporation;
  • (iii) evidences of its indebtedness; or
  • (iv) any property or other assets;

{35}------------------------------------------------

(excluding, in each case, any distribution referred to in Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(b)) then, in each such case, the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the number determined by multiplying the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements by a fraction:

  • (v) the numerator of which will be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price on such record date; and
  • (vi) the denominator of which will be:
  • (A) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price on such record date; less
  • (B) the aggregate fair market value, as determined by the Directors, acting reasonably, whose determination, absent manifest error, will be conclusive, to the holders of Common Shares of such shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed.

Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements shall be readjusted to the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements which would then be in effect based upon such shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets actually distributed, as the case may be.

(d) Subject to Section 7.1, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Escrow Release Date, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation (other than as described in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c)) or an amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, any Holder whose HD Subscription Receipts have not been converted or whose FT Subscription Receipts have not been cancelled as a result of a subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements prior to the effective time of such reclassification, reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance shall, upon the

{36}------------------------------------------------

conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts or the subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements, be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Underlying Shares or FT Shares to which the Holder was prior thereto entitled, the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement or merger or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that such Holder would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance, if on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, the Holder had been the registered holder of the number of Underlying Shares or FT Shares to which immediately before the event such Holder was entitled. To give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Section 7.1(d), the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance, enter into an agreement which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set out in this Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder to the effect that the provisions set out in this Indenture shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which a Holder is entitled thereafter. Any agreement entered into between the Corporation and the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1(d) shall be a supplemental agreement entered into pursuant to the provisions of Article 10. Any agreement entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Subscription Receipt Agent shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 7.1 and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, amalgamations, arrangements, mergers, sales or conveyances.

  • (e) In any case in which this Section 7.1 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder in respect of which the HD Subscription Receipts are converted or FT Subscription Receipts are cancelled as a result of a subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements, the additional Underlying Shares or FT Shares or other securities or property issuable by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such Holder, as soon as reasonably practicable after such record date, an appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder's right to receive such additional Underlying Shares, FT Shares or other securities or property upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Underlying Shares, FT Shares or other securities or property declared in favour of holders of record of Underlying Shares, FT Shares or securities or property on and after the relevant date of conversion, or such later date as such Holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 7.1(e), have become the holder of record of such additional Underlying Shares, FT Shares or other securities or property pursuant to this Section 7.1, provided that if the other securities are not securities of the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to any holder should the issuer thereof not pay any distribution declared thereon.
  • (f) In any case in which Section 7.1(c) requires that an adjustment be made to the number of Underlying Shares or FT Shares issuable, no such adjustment shall be made if the

{37}------------------------------------------------

Subscription Receipt Agent receives the shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property referred to in Section 7.1(c), in such kind and number as Holders would have received if they had been holders of Underlying Shares or FT Shares on the applicable record date or effective date by virtue of their right to be issued Underlying Shares or FT Shares. Any such shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property so received by the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be held and distributed by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant hereto.

  • (g) The adjustments provided for in this Section 7.1 are cumulative and shall be computed to the nearest two decimal places and will apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 7.1, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.1, no adjustment of the number of Underlying Shares or FT Shares issuable shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the number of Underlying Shares or FT Shares issuable, provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this 7.1(g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
  • (h) If the Corporation sets a record date to determine the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and, thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment shall be made to the number of Underlying Shares or FT Shares issuable.
  • (i) After any adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.1, the terms "Common Shares" where used in this Indenture shall be interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Holder is entitled to receive upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts or subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreement, and the number of Underlying Shares to be issued upon the conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements shall be interpreted to mean the number of Underlying Shares, FT Shares or other property or securities a Holder is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 7.1, upon the full conversion of the Subscription Receipts and subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements, as the case may be.
  • (j) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, any adjustment in the Common Shares, or Underlying Shares or FT Shares described in this Section 7 and otherwise in this Indenture, shall be subject to the consent of the Lead Underwriter, on behalf of the Underwriters, acting reasonably.

7.2 No Adjustment for Stock Options etc.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 7, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Indenture in respect of the issue of Underlying Shares or FT Shares pursuant to any stock option, stock purchase, or other equity incentive plan in force from time to time for officers, Directors or employees of the Corporation or pursuant to any stock option granted or other convertible security issued by the Corporation prior to the date of this Indenture.

{38}------------------------------------------------

7.3 Determination by Corporation's Auditors

In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this Article 7, such question shall, absent manifest error, be conclusively determined by the Corporation's auditors, who shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation, and such determination shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Corporation, the Lead Underwriter, the Subscription Receipt Agent, all Holders and all other persons interested therein.

7.4 Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment

As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in the number of Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares issuable upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation (acting reasonably), be necessary to ensure that the Corporation has sufficient authorized capital and that the Corporation may validly and legally issue, as fully paid and non-assessable shares, all of the shares which the Holders are entitled to receive on the conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

7.5 Action Requiring Adjustment

In case the Corporation, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting the Common Shares, other than the actions described in this Article 7, which, in the opinion of the Directors would materially adversely affect the rights of the Holders, then the number of Underlying Shares which are to be received upon the conversion of the HD Subscription Receipts and the number of FT Shares which are to be received upon subscription pursuant to the FT Subscription and Renunciation Agreements shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time as the Directors may, in their discretion, reasonably determine to be equitable to the Holders in such circumstances.

7.6 Certificate of Adjustment

The Corporation shall, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in this Article 7, deliver a certificate of the Corporation to the Subscription Receipt Agent specifying the nature of the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting out in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate shall be supported by a certificate of the Corporation's auditors verifying such calculation.

7.7 Notice of Special Matters

The Corporation covenants with the Subscription Receipt Agent that, so long as any Subscription Receipts remains outstanding, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, it will give notice to the Subscription Receipt Agent and to the Holders of its intention to fix the record date for any event referred to in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(c) and Section 7.1(d) which may give rise to an adjustment in the number of Underlying Shares or FT Shares. Such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date for such event, provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in the notice such particulars of the event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which the notice is given. The notice, if any, shall be given in each case not less than 14 days prior to such applicable record date, subject in all cases to the Corporation's compliance with applicable securities laws.

{39}------------------------------------------------

7.8 Protection of Subscription Receipt Agent

The Subscription Receipt Agent:

  • (a) shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment contemplated by 7.1, or to verify the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made or with respect to the method employed in making such adjustment;
  • (b) shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares or other shares or other securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered pursuant to the rights attaching to any Subscription Receipt;

This subsection shall survive the resignation or removal of the Subscription Receipt Agent and/or the termination or discharge of this Indenture.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Corporation agrees that its liability hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional regardless of the correctness of any representations of any third parties and regardless of any liability of third parties to the Indemnified Parties, and shall accrue and become enforceable without prior demand or any other precedent action or proceeding. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this indemnity shall survive the resignation or removal of the Subscription Receipt Agent and/or the termination or discharge of this Indenture.

  • (c) Appointment of New Subscription Receipt Agent: If the Subscription Receipt Agent so resigns or is so removed or is dissolved, becomes bankrupt, goes into liquidation or otherwise becomes incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation will forthwith appoint a new subscription receipt agent unless a new subscription receipt agent has already been appointed by the Holders.

  • (e) New Subscription Receipt Agent: Any new subscription receipt agent appointed under this Section 11.8 must be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a transfer agent or trust company in Toronto, Ontario and, if required by the Applicable Legislation of any other province, in such other province. On any such appointment the new subscription receipt agent will be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Subscription Receipt Agent without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed, but there will be immediately executed, at the expense of the Corporation, all such conveyances or other instruments as, in the opinion of Counsel to the Corporation, are necessary or advisable for the purpose of assuring the transfer of such powers, rights, duties and responsibilities to the new subscription receipt agent including, without limitation, an appropriate instrument executed by the new subscription receipt agent accepting such appointment and, at the request of the Corporation, the predecessor Subscription Receipt Agent shall, upon payment of its outstanding remuneration and expenses, execute and deliver to the new subscription receipt agent an appropriate instrument transferring to such new subscription receipt agent all rights and powers of the Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder, and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the new subscription receipt agent all securities, property and all records kept by the predecessor Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder or in connection therewith.

  • (h) Certificates: A Certificate Authenticated but not delivered by a predecessor Subscription Receipt Agent may be delivered by the new or successor subscription receipt agent in the name of the predecessor Subscription Receipt Agent or successor subscription receipt agent.

The Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be bound to give any notice or do or take any act, action or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it hereby unless and until it shall have been required so to do under the terms hereof; nor shall the Subscription Receipt Agent be required to take notice of any default hereunder, unless and until notified in writing of such default, which notice shall distinctly specify the default desired to be brought to the attention of the Subscription Receipt Agent and in the absence of any such notice the Subscription Receipt Agent may for all purposes of this Indenture conclusively assume that no default has been made in the observance or performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or conditions contained therein. Any such notice shall in no way limit any discretion herein given to the Subscription Receipt Agent to determine whether or not the Subscription Receipt Agent shall take action with respect to any default.

11.12 Anti-Money Laundering

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, determines that such act might cause it to be in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline. Further, should the Subscription Receipt Agent, in its sole judgment, determine at any time that its acting under this Indenture has resulted in its being in non-compliance with any applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline, then it shall have the right to resign on ten days' written notice to the Corporation provided (i) that the Subscription Receipt Agent's written notice shall describe the circumstances of such non-compliance to the extent permitted by such applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist or sanctions legislation, regulation or guideline; and (ii) that if such circumstances are rectified to the Subscription Receipt Agent's satisfaction within such ten-day period, then such resignation shall not be effective.

(the "Corporation") and is thereby entitled, without payment of any additional consideration or further action, to be issued, immediately after the Escrow Release Time (as defined in the Subscription Receipt Indenture hereinafter referred to), one common share of Corporation (each an "Underlying Share").

This Subscription Receipt Certificate represents Subscription Receipts of the Corporation issued under the provisions of a subscription receipt indenture (which indenture, together with all instruments supplemental or ancillary thereto, is herein referred to as the "Subscription Receipt Indenture") dated as of January 29, 2026, among the Corporation, Odyssey Trust Company (the "Subscription Receipt Agent") and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Lead Underwriter"). Reference is hereby made for particulars of the rights of the holders of the Subscription Receipts, the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Lead Underwriter in respect thereof and of the terms and conditions upon which the Subscription Receipts are issued and held, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Subscription Receipt Indenture were herein

set forth in full, and to all of which the holder, by acceptance hereof, assents. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Subscription Receipt Certificate and the Subscription Receipt Indenture, the terms of the Subscription Receipt Indenture shall govern. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Subscription Receipt Certificate shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Subscription Receipt Indenture. The Corporation will furnish to the holder, on request, a copy of the Subscription Receipt Indenture.

The Subscription Receipts represented by this Subscription Receipt Certificate will be automatically converted into Underlying Shares by the Subscription Receipt Agent for and on behalf of the holder upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions prior to the Escrow Release Deadline and the holder will be a holder of the Underlying Shares issuable on the conversion of such Subscription Receipts without additional consideration or the taking of any further action by the holder. For greater certainty, the Subscription Receipts represented by this certificate may not be converted by the holder and may only be converted pursuant to the foregoing automatic conversion.

Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Indenture, the Escrow Release Date is the date, or the Business Day following such date, on which the Subscription Receipt Agent receives the Escrow Release Notice in the form required under the Subscription Receipt Indenture, which notice will inform the Subscription Receipt Agent of the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, will advise the Subscription Receipt Agent of the conversion of the Subscription Receipts into Underlying Shares, and will instruct the Subscription Receipt Agent to pay the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the Subscription Receipt Indenture.
