(f) If an Investor Nominee ceases to hold office as a director of the Corporation for any reason (including as a result of a resignation by the Investor Nominee tendered pursuant to the Corporation's by-laws), other than as a result of the Investor no longer being entitled to nominate such Investor Nominee pursuant to Section 4.1(a), the Investor shall be entitled to nominate an individual to replace him or her and the Corporation shall promptly take all steps as may be necessary to appoint such individual to the Board to replace an Investor Nominee who has ceased to hold office, including pursuant to the power of the Board to appoint additional directors between shareholders' meetings or to fill a vacancy on the Board.

(g) The Investor may, at any time, request that the Corporation promptly remove its Investor Nominees from the Board and, upon such request, the Corporation shall promptly take all steps as may be necessary to remove such Investor Nominee and the Investor may propose an individual as a replacement Investor Nominee to the Board and the Corporation shall promptly appoint such replacement Investor Nominee to the Board.

(h) The Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by the Investor Nominee in the performance of his or her duties for or on behalf of the Corporation incurred as a result of the Investor Nominee attending Board and committee meetings, including travel and accommodation expenses.

The Investor hereby agrees that the Confidential Information will be used only for the Purpose. In the event that the Agreement is terminated or within ten (10) business days of receipt of a written request to do so from the Corporation, the Investor shall either (i) destroy all copies of the Confidential Information and expunge all Confidential Information from any computer, word processor, disk or other similar device into which it was programmed or inputted by or on behalf of the Investor, or (ii) return at the investor's own expense all Confidential Information to the Corporation and expunge all Confidential Information from any computer, word processor, disk or other similar device into which it was programmed or inputted by or on behalf of the Investor.

  1. Securities Laws: The Investor hereby acknowledges that it is aware (and that its Affiliates and Representatives of the Investor who are apprised of the Agreement have been, or upon becoming so apprised will be, advised) of the restrictions imposed by Securities Laws and other applicable laws relating to the possession and use of material information concerning the Corporation and its affiliates which has not been publicly disclosed, and which the Investor may have access to as part of the Confidential Information.

  2. Exclusions: This Agreement does not apply to information comprising part of the Confidential Information, to the extent that such information: (a) is part of, or enters, the public domain and becomes generally available to the public, other than as a result of direct or indirect disclosure by the Investor, any affiliate of the Investor or any Representative (including, without limitation, disclosure as a result of a violation of the terms of this Agreement by the Investor, any Affiliate of the Investor or any Representative thereof); (b) is generally known on the date thereof or at the time of the disclosure of such information by the Corporation to the Investor or later becomes generally known, in either case other than as a result of disclosure in violation of the terms of this Agreement by the Investor, any Affiliate of the Investor or any Representative after the date thereof; (c) was developed by the Investor independent of any disclosure by the Corporation or was available to the Investor on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Investor by the Corporation; (d) is

A-2


available to the Investor on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Corporation or becomes available to the Investor on a non-confidential basis from a person other than the Corporation provided that such person is not then in violation of a confidentiality obligation owed to the Corporation of which the Investor is aware; or (e) is required to be disclosed by applicable law or stock exchange requirements (subject to the obligations of the Investor under Sections 6 and 7 thereof).

  1. No Representation: The Corporation shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty which is not expressly set out in the Agreement (including without limitation as to the accuracy or completeness of any Confidential Information furnished to the Investor) and shall have no obligation to revise or update any Confidential Information previously provided to the Investor. The obligation of the Corporation to deliver the Confidential Information to the Investor shall be satisfied by the delivery of the Confidential Information belonging to or now in existence and in the current condition thereof. The Investor agrees that neither the Corporation nor any agent of the Corporation shall have any liability to the Investor, any of its Affiliates or Representatives, resulting from the use or non-use of the Confidential Information by the Investor, any of its affiliates or their aforementioned representatives, as the case may be, or to any errors therein or omissions therefrom, regardless of any decision made in reliance on the Confidential Information, and neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives, shall make any claims whatsoever against the Corporation, with respect to, or arising out of, the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, nothing in the Agreement, obligates either party to make any particular disclosure of Confidential Information.

  2. No Public Disclosure: In addition, except as required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements as such requirements are determined by outside legal counsel to either the Investor or Corporation and their respective affiliates or representatives (as the case may be), neither the Investor nor the Corporation nor any of their respective affiliates or representatives shall, without the prior written consent of the other party, disclose, or allow to be disclosed, any of the terms of this Agreement and the fact of its existence.

  3. Protective Order: In the event that the Investor, any of its Affiliates or Representatives, or such other persons to whom the Investor or any of its Affiliates or Representatives transmits Confidential Information becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) or stock exchange requirement to disclose any of the Confidential Information, as the case may be, the Investor will, to the extent permitted by law and is reasonably practical in the circumstances, provide the Corporation with prompt written notice so that the Corporation may, at its sole cost, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of the Agreement. The Investor and its Affiliates and Representatives shall cooperate with and use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Corporation in obtaining any protective order or other remedy. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Corporation waives compliance with the provisions of the Agreement, the Investor, its Affiliates or Representatives, or such other person to whom the Investor or any of its Affiliates or Representatives has transmitted Confidential Information, as the case may be, will furnish only such information about the Confidential Information, as the case may be, that is legally required and the Investor will exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to seek to have confidential treatment accorded to such Confidential Information.

  4. Specific Performance: The Investor acknowledges that the Corporation may not have an adequate remedy at law for monetary damages in the event that the provisions of this Schedule A is not performed in accordance with its terms and, accordingly, agrees that the Corporation shall be

A-3


entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security for costs or damages.

  1. Miscellaneous:

(a) Nothing in the Agreement nor the disclosure of Confidential Information to the Investor, its Affiliates and Representatives hereunder creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, representative or employment relationship between the parties. Except as expressly provided herein, each party shall have the right to engage in any independent business activities or operations, whether or not competitive with the business activities or operations of the other party, without consulting with, or obligation to, the other party.

(b) In no event shall Investor be deemed to have acquired any right or interest of any kind in or to the Confidential Information or be subject to any commitment to enter into any further agreement with the Corporation by virtue of the Agreement.

(c) It is understood and agreed that no failure or delay by either the Corporation or the Investor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or in enforcing any provision of this Schedule "A" shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right, power, privilege or enforcement hereunder.

(d) Certain of the Confidential Information to which the Investor may be given access pursuant to this Agreement is information to which solicitor-client privilege and/or litigation privilege ("Privilege") attaches (collectively, "Privileged Information"). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that such access is not intended and should not be interpreted as a waiver of any Privilege in respect of Privileged Information or of any right to assert or claim Privilege in respect of Privileged Information. To the extent there is any waiver of Privilege, it is intended to be a limited waiver in favour of the Investor. The Investor shall, at the request and expense of Corporation, claim or assert, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to claim or assert, Privilege in respect of Privileged Information.

(e) The Agreement is in addition to and not in substitution for or derogation of any rights of the Corporation and the Investor at law or in equity arising in any way in connection with the disclosure of the Confidential Information by the Corporation.
