2.11 Exchange of Subscription Receipt Certificates.

(a) Subscription Receipt Certificates may, upon compliance with the reasonable requirements of the Subscription Receipt Agent, be exchanged for another Subscription Receipt Certificate or Subscription Receipt Certificates entitling the holder thereof to, in the aggregate, the same number of Subscription Receipts as represented by the Subscription Receipt Certificates so exchanged.

(b) Subscription Receipt Certificates may be surrendered for exchange only at the Designated Office during regular business hours of the Subscription Receipt Agent on a Business Day.

2.12 Charges for Exchange. Except as otherwise herein provided, the Subscription Receipt Agent may charge to the holder requesting an exchange a reasonable sum for each new Subscription Receipt Certificate issued in exchange for Subscription Receipt Certificate(s). Payment of such charges and reimbursement of the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Corporation for any and all stamp taxes or governmental or other charges required to be paid shall be made by such holder as a condition precedent to such exchange.

2.13 Transfer and Ownership of Subscription Receipts.

(a) As detailed in Subsection 2.13(d), Section 2.14 and Section 2.15, there are restrictions on the transfer of the Subscription Receipts. The Subscription Receipts may only be transferred on the register kept at the Designated Office by the holder or his legal representatives or his attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in form and execution satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of Subscription Receipts at the Designated Office and upon compliance with Section 2.14 and Section 2.15, the Corporation shall make corresponding DRS entries or issue and thereupon the Subscription Receipt Agent shall certify and deliver a new Subscription Receipt Certificate of like tenor in the name of the designated transferee and register such transfer in accordance with Section 2.4.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscription Receipts shall only be transferred upon:

-9-

(i) payment to the Subscription Receipt Agent of a reasonable sum for each new Subscription Receipt Certificate issued upon such transfer, and reimbursement of the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Corporation for any and all stamp taxes or governmental or other charges required to be paid in respect of such transfer; and

(ii) such reasonable requirements as the Subscription Receipt Agent may prescribe, and all such transfers shall be duly noted in such register by the Subscription Receipt Agent.

(b) The Corporation and the Subscription Receipt Agent shall deem and treat the registered owner of any Subscription Receipts as the beneficial owner thereof for all purposes and neither the Corporation nor the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(c) The transfer register in respect of Subscription Receipts shall be closed at 4:30 p.m. (Calgary time) at the Designated Office, on the earlier to occur of the Acquisition Date and the Termination Date (subject to settlement).

(d) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall promptly advise the Corporation of any requested transfer of Subscription Receipts on the register of holders of Subscription Receipts. The Corporation shall be entitled, and may direct the Subscription Receipt Agent, to refuse to recognize any transfer, or enter the name of any transferee, of any Subscription Receipts on the registers referred to in Section 2.4, if such transfer would constitute a violation of the securities laws of any jurisdiction or the rules, regulations or policies of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction or may recognize the transfer upon receipt of evidence of compliance with applicable securities laws in form and substance satisfactory to it.

(e) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law, a Receiptholder shall be entitled to the rights and privileges attaching to the Subscription Receipts. Either the issue and delivery of Common Shares, as provided in Section 3.2, or the payment of the Subscription Price and the holder’s pro rata share of the Earned Interest, less applicable withholding taxes, as provided in Section 3.3, all in accordance with the terms and conditions herein contained, shall discharge all responsibilities of the Corporation and the Subscription Receipt Agent with respect to such Subscription Receipts and neither the Corporation nor the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be bound to inquire into the title of a Receiptholder or a transferee of Subscription Receipts.

2.14 U.S. Legends. The Subscription Receipt Agent acknowledges and understands that the Subscription Receipts and Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts have not been registered under the 1933 Act and may be transferred only pursuant to a registration statement under the 1933 Act or an exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and understands and acknowledges that upon the original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws, certificates representing the Subscription Receipts originally issued in the United States and certificates representing Common Shares issued upon conversion of such Subscription Receipts and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, shall bear the following legend:

-10-

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “U.S. SECURITIES ACT”), AND AS SUCH MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (I) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES, OR (II) THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES SHALL RECEIVE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED BY VIRTUE OF RULE 144 UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OR ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT.”

and in the case of Common Shares issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts on a date that is prior to four months and a day after the original distribution of the Subscription Receipts, also the following legend:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE LISTED ON THE TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE (“TSX”); HOWEVER, THE SAID SECURITIES CANNOT BE TRADED THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THE TSX SINCE THEY ARE NOT FREELY TRADEABLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY ANY CERTIFICATE REPRESENTING SUCH SECURITIES IS NOT “GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON TSX.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a final receipt for a prospectus has been obtained or a prospectus supplement to qualify the distribution of such Common Shares in the Provinces of Canada has been filed, such Common Shares will not bear the latter legend described in this Section 2.14.

2.15 Canadian Legend. The Subscription Receipts and Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts shall be subject to the following legend restriction:

“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE NOVEMBER 9, 2016.”

2.16 Cancellation of Surrendered Subscription Receipt Certificates. All Subscription Receipt Certificates surrendered to the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.1 shall be returned to or received by the Subscription Receipt Agent for cancellation and, if required by the Corporation, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall furnish the Corporation with a cancellation certificate identifying the Subscription Receipt Certificates so cancelled and the number of Subscription Receipts evidenced thereby.

-11-

2.17 Designation of Settlement Agent The Corporation shall designate a settlement agent on behalf of the purchasers in the Offering, who shall initially be the Lead Agent, to (i) receive funds representing payment for the Subscription Receipts from the purchasers in the Offering and make payment of such funds as directed by the Corporation, and (ii) receive Subscription Receipt Certificates, if applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent one or more Agents perform the functions described within this Section 2.17 or otherwise facilitate the settlement of the Subscription Receipts, each party to this Agreement agrees and acknowledges that the Agents are performing such functions as attorney and agent for the Corporation, such Agent is not a principal in connection with the Offering and no liability pursuant to applicable securities laws shall attach to the Agent as a result of performing such functions.

Every such meeting shall be held in the City of Calgary, Alberta or at such other place as may be determined by the Subscription Receipt Agent and approved by the Corporation.

7.2 Notice. At least ten days’ prior notice of any meeting of Receiptholders shall be given to the Receiptholders in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 and a copy of such notice shall be sent by mail to the Subscription Receipt Agent (unless the meeting has been called by the Subscription Receipt Agent) and to the Corporation (unless the meeting has been called by the Corporation). Such notice shall state the date (which must be a Business Day) and time when, and the place where, the meeting is to be held, shall state briefly the general nature of the business to be transacted thereat and shall contain such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Receiptholders to make a reasoned decision on the matter, but it shall not be necessary for any such notice to set out the terms of any resolution to be proposed or any of the provisions of this Article 7.

7.3 Chairman. An individual (who need not be a Receiptholder) designated in writing by the Subscription Receipt Agent shall be chairman of the meeting and if no individual is so designated, or if the individual so designated is not present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for the holding of the meeting, the Receiptholders present in person or by proxy shall choose some individual present to be chairman.

7.4 Quorum. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.11, at any meeting of the Receiptholders a quorum shall consist of one or more Receiptholders present in person or by proxy and holding more than 25% of the then outstanding Subscription Receipts.

Any business may be brought before or dealt with at an adjourned meeting that might have been dealt with at the original meeting in accordance with the notice calling the same. No business shall be transacted at any meeting unless a quorum is present at the commencement of business. At the adjourned meeting, the Receiptholders present in person or by proxy shall form a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was originally convened notwithstanding that they may not hold at least 25% of the then outstanding Subscription Receipts.

-19-

7.5 Power to Adjourn. The chairman of any meeting at which a quorum of the Receiptholders is present may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any such meeting and no notice of such adjournment need be given except such notice, if any, as the meeting may prescribe.

7.6 Show of Hands. Every question submitted to a meeting shall be decided in the first place by a majority of the votes given on a show of hands except that votes on an Extraordinary Resolution shall be given in the manner hereinafter provided. At any such meeting, unless a poll is duly demanded as herein provided, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact.

7.7 Poll and Voting. On every Extraordinary Resolution, and on any other question submitted to a meeting and after a vote by show of hands when demanded by the chairman or by one or more of the Receiptholders acting in person or by proxy and holding at least 5% of the then outstanding Subscription Receipts, a poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman shall direct. Questions other than those required to be determined by Extraordinary Resolution shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the poll.

On a show of hands, every Person who is present and entitled to vote, whether as a Receiptholder or as proxy for one or more absent Receiptholders, or both, shall have one vote. On a poll, each Receiptholder present in person or represented by a proxy duly appointed by instrument in writing shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Common Share he is entitled to receive pursuant to the Subscription Receipt(s) then held or represented by him. A proxy need not be a Receiptholder. In the case of joint holders, any of them present in person or by proxy at the meeting may vote in the absence of the other or others; but in case more than one of them shall be present in person or by proxy, they shall vote together in respect of Subscription Receipts of which they are joint registered holders. The chairman of any meeting shall be entitled, both on a show of hands and on a poll, to vote in respect of the Subscription Receipts, if any, held or represented by him.

7.8 Regulations. The Subscription Receipt Agent, or the Corporation with the approval of the Subscription Receipt Agent, may from time to time make and from time to time vary such regulations as it shall think fit for:

(a) the setting of the record date for a meeting of holders of Subscription Receipts for the purpose of determining Receiptholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at such meeting;

-20-

(b) the issue of voting certificates by any bank, trust company or other depositary satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent stating that the Subscription Receipt Certificates specified therein have been deposited with it by a named Person and will remain on deposit until after the meeting, which voting certificate shall entitle the Persons named therein to be present and vote at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof or to appoint a proxy or proxies to represent them and vote for them at any such meeting and at any adjournment thereof in the same manner and with the same effect as though the Persons so named in such voting certificates were the actual holders of the Subscription Receipt Certificates specified therein;

(c) the deposit of voting certificates and instruments appointing proxies at such place and time as the Subscription Receipt Agent, the Corporation or the Receiptholders, convening the meeting, as the case may be, may direct in the notice convening the meeting;

(d) the deposit of voting certificates and instruments appointing proxies at some approved place or places other than the place at which the meeting is to be held and enabling particulars of such instruments appointing proxies to be mailed or sent via facsimile before the meeting to the Corporation or to the Subscription Receipt Agent at the place where the same is to be held and for the voting of proxies so deposited as though the instruments themselves were produced at the meeting;

(e) the form of the instrument of proxy and the manner in which the instrument of proxy must be executed; and

(f) generally for the calling of meetings of Receiptholders and the conduct of business thereat.

Any regulations so made shall be binding and effective and the votes given in accordance therewith shall be valid and shall be counted. Save as such regulations may provide, the only Persons who shall be recognized at any meeting as a Receiptholder, or be entitled to vote or be present at the meeting in respect thereof (subject to Section 7.9), as applicable, shall be Receiptholders or their counsel, or duly appointed proxies of Receiptholders.

7.9 Corporation and Subscription Receipt Agent may be Represented.

Article 9
CONCERNING THE SUBSCRIPTION RECEIPT AGENT

9.1 Rights and Duties of Subscription Receipt Agent.

(a) In the exercise of the rights and duties prescribed or conferred by the terms of this Agreement, the Subscription Receipt Agent shall exercise that degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent escrow agent would exercise in comparable circumstances. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Subscription Receipt Agent from liability for its own gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud.

(b) The obligation of the Subscription Receipt Agent to commence or continue any act, action or proceeding for the purpose of enforcing any rights of the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Receiptholders hereunder shall be conditional upon the Receiptholders furnishing, when required by notice by the Subscription Receipt Agent, sufficient funds to commence or to continue such act, action or proceeding and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Subscription Receipt Agent to protect and to hold harmless the Subscription Receipt Agent against the costs, charges and expenses and liabilities to be incurred thereby and any loss and damage it may suffer by reason thereof. None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the Subscription Receipt Agent to expend or to risk its own funds or otherwise to incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers unless indemnified as aforesaid.

-25-

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

(d) The Subscription Receipt Agent may, before commencing or at any time during the continuance of any such act, action or proceeding, require the Receiptholders at whose instance it is acting to deposit with the Subscription Receipt Agent the Subscription Receipts held by them, for which Subscription Receipts the Subscription Receipt Agent shall issue receipts.

(e) Every provision of this Agreement that by its terms relieves the Subscription Receipt Agent of liability or entitles it to rely upon any evidence submitted to it is subject to the provisions of this Section 9.1 and of Section 9.2.

(f) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall have no duties except those expressly set forth herein, and it shall not be bound by any notice of a claim or demand with respect to, or any waiver, modification, amendment, termination or rescission of, this Agreement, unless received by it in writing and signed by the other parties hereto and, if its duties herein are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

(g) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall retain the right not to act and shall not be held liable for refusing to act unless it has received clear and reasonable documentation which complies with the terms of this Agreement, which documentation does not require the exercise of any discretion or independent judgment.

(h) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever with respect to the delivery or non-delivery of any certificates whether delivery by hand, mail or any other means.

(i) The Subscription Receipt Agent shall not be responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever for the deficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any securities deposited with it.

-26-

9.2 Evidence, Experts and Advisers.

(b) In the exercise of its rights and duties hereunder, the Subscription Receipt Agent may, if it is acting in good faith, rely as to the truth of the statements and the accuracy of the opinions expressed in statutory declarations, opinions, reports, written requests, consents, or orders of the Corporation, certificates of the Corporation or other evidence furnished to the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to a request of the Subscription Receipt Agent.

(c) Whenever it is provided in this Agreement that the Corporation shall deposit with the Subscription Receipt Agent resolutions, certificates, reports, opinions, requests, orders or other documents, it is intended that the truth, accuracy and good faith on the effective date thereof and the facts and opinions stated in all such documents so deposited shall, in each and every such case, be conditions precedent to the right of the Corporation to have the Subscription Receipt Agent take the action to be based thereon.

(d) Proof of the execution of an instrument in writing, including a Receiptholders’ Request, by any Receiptholder may be made by the certificate of a notary public, or other officer with similar powers, that the person signing such instrument acknowledged to the officer the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution or in any other manner which the Subscription Receipt Agent may consider adequate.

(e) The Subscription Receipt Agent may employ or retain such Counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisers as it may reasonably require for the purpose of discharging its duties hereunder and may pay reasonable remuneration for all services so performed by any of them, without taxation of costs of any Counsel, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such experts or advisers who have been appointed with due care by the Subscription Receipt Agent.

(f) The Subscription Receipt Agent may act and rely and shall be protected in acting and relying in good faith on the opinion or advice of or information obtained from Counsel, or any accountant, appraiser, or other expert or advisor, whether retained or employed by the Corporation or by the Subscription Receipt Agent with respect to any matter arising in relation to the Agreement.

9.3 Documents, Monies, etc. Held by Subscription Receipt Agent. Any securities, documents of title or other instruments that may at any time be held by the Subscription Receipt Agent pursuant to this Agreement may be placed in the deposit vaults of the Subscription Receipt Agent or of any Canadian bank or deposited for safekeeping with any such bank. If the Subscription Receipt Agent has not received a direction under Section 4.1, any monies so held pending the application or withdrawal thereof under any provisions of this Agreement may be deposited in the name of the Subscription Receipt Agent in any Canadian bank, or in the deposit department of the Subscription Receipt Agent or any other loan or trust company authorized to accept deposits under the laws of Canada or a province thereof, at the rate of interest (if any) then current on similar deposits.

-27-

9.4 Actions by Subscription Receipt Agent to Protect Interest. The Subscription Receipt Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such actions and proceedings as it may consider necessary or expedient to preserve, protect or enforce its interests and the interests of the Receiptholders.

9.5 Third Party Interests. Each party to this Agreement 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 Agreement, for or to the credit of such 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 the Corporation agrees to complete and execute forthwith a declaration in the Subscription Receipt Agent’s prescribed form as to the particulars of such third party. Each party to this Agreement agrees that the Agents shall be third party beneficiaries to Section 2.17, Subsection 3.3(b), Section 3.4 and Section 9.7 and any other sections to this Agreement affecting the Agents’ rights and obligations herein.

(b) nothing herein contained shall impose any obligation on the Subscription Receipt Agent or the Agents to see to or to require evidence of the registration or filing (or renewal thereof) of this Agreement or any instrument ancillary or supplemental hereto;

(c) the Subscription Receipt Agent and the Agents shall not be bound to give notice to any Person or Persons of the execution hereof; and

(a) The Subscription Receipt Agent may resign its appointment and be discharged from all other duties and liabilities hereunder, subject to this Section 9.8, by giving to the Corporation not less than 30 days’ prior notice in writing or such shorter prior notice as the Corporation may accept as sufficient. The Receiptholders by Extraordinary Resolution shall have power at any time to remove the existing Subscription Receipt Agent and to appoint a new subscription receipt agent. In the event of the Subscription Receipt Agent resigning or being removed as aforesaid or being dissolved, becoming bankrupt, going into liquidation or otherwise becoming incapable of acting hereunder, the Corporation shall forthwith appoint a new subscription receipt agent unless a new subscription receipt agent has already been appointed by the Receiptholders; failing such appointment by the Corporation, the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent or any Receiptholder may apply to a justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench (Alberta) on such notice as such justice may direct, for the appointment of a new subscription receipt agent; but any new subscription receipt agent so appointed by the Corporation or by the Court shall be subject to removal as aforesaid by the Receiptholders. Any new subscription receipt agent appointed under any provision of this Section 9.8 shall be a corporation authorized to carry on the business of a trust company in the provinces of Alberta and Ontario and, if required by the applicable legislation of any other provinces of Canada, in such other provinces. On any such appointment, the new subscription receipt agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder. At the request of the Corporation or the new subscription receipt agent, the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent, upon payment of the amounts, if any, due to it pursuant to Section 5.3, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to the new subscription receipt agent all property and money held and all records kept by the retiring Subscription Receipt Agent hereunder or in connection herewith.

(b) Upon the appointment of a successor subscription receipt agent, the Corporation shall promptly notify the Receiptholders thereof in the manner provided for in Article 10.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 9.9(a), if any such material conflict of interest exists or hereafter shall exist, the validity and enforceability of this Agreement and the Subscription Receipt Certificates shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason thereof.
