At such meeting, the Beneficiary (or its designee) exercising such Beneficiary Votes in accordance with such proxy shall have the same rights in respect of such Beneficiary Votes as the Trustee to speak at the meeting in favour of any matter, question, proposal or proposition, to vote by way of ballot at the meeting in respect of any matter, question, proposal or proposition, and to vote at such meeting by way of a show of hands in respect of any matter, question or proposition.

5.6 Delivery of RG Shares; Effect of Exercise

     Promptly after the receipt by the Trustee of the certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares which the Beneficiary desires RG to purchase under the Exchange Right, together with such documents and instruments of transfer and a duly completed form of notice of exercise of the Exchange Right (and payment of taxes, if any payable as contemplated by Section 5.7 or

evidence thereof), duly endorsed for transfer to RG, the Trustee shall notify RG and Canco of its receipt of the same, which notice to RG and Canco shall constitute exercise of the Exchange Right by the Trustee on behalf of the Beneficiary in respect of such Exchangeable Shares, and RG shall promptly thereafter deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee, for delivery to the Beneficiary in respect of such Exchangeable Shares (or to such other persons, if any, properly designated by such Beneficiary) the Exchangeable Share Consideration deliverable in connection with the exercise of the Exchange Right; provided, however, that no such delivery shall be made unless and until the Beneficiary requesting the same shall have paid (or provided evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, Canco and RG of the payment of) the taxes (if any) payable as contemplated by Section 5.7 of this agreement. Immediately upon the giving of notice by the Trustee to RG and Canco of the exercise of the Exchange Right, as provided in this Section 5.6, the closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the Exchange Right shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Beneficiary of such Exchangeable Shares shall be deemed to have transferred to RG all of such Beneficiary’s right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Shares and in the related interest in the Trust Estate and shall cease to be a holder of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive his proportionate part of the total Exchangeable Share Consideration therefor, unless such Exchangeable Share Consideration is not delivered by RG to the Trustee for delivery to such Beneficiary (or to such other person, if any, properly designated by such Beneficiary) within three business days of the date of the giving of such notice by the Trustee, in which case the rights of the Beneficiary shall remain unaffected until such Exchangeable Share Consideration is delivered by RG and any cheque included therein is paid. Upon delivery of such Exchangeable Share Consideration to the Trustee, the Trustee shall promptly deliver such Exchangeable Share Consideration to such Beneficiary (or to such other person, if any, properly designated by such Beneficiary). Concurrently with such Beneficiary ceasing to be a holder of Exchangeable Shares, the Beneficiary shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the RG Shares delivered to it pursuant to the Exchange Right.

5.7 Stamp or Other Transfer Taxes

     Upon any sale of Exchangeable Shares to RG pursuant to the Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Right, the share certificate or certificates representing RG Shares to be delivered in connection with the payment of the purchase price therefor shall be issued in the name of the Beneficiary in respect of the Exchangeable Shares so sold or in such names as such Beneficiary may otherwise direct in writing without charge to the holder of the Exchangeable Shares so sold; provided, however, that such Beneficiary (a) shall pay (and none of RG, Canco or the Trustee shall be required to pay) any documentary, stamp, transfer of other taxes that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of such shares to a person other than such Beneficiary or (b) shall have evidenced to the satisfaction of RG that such taxes, if any, have been paid.

5.8 Notice of Insolvency Event

Trustee becoming aware of an Insolvency Event, the Trustee shall mail to each Beneficiary, at the expense of RG (such funds to be received in advance), a notice of such Insolvency Event in the form provided by RG, which notice shall contain a brief statement of the rights of the Beneficiaries with respect to the Exchange Right.

5.9 Failure to Retract

     Upon the occurrence of an event referred to in paragraph (iv) of the definition of Insolvency Event, Canco hereby agrees with the Trustee and in favour of the Beneficiary promptly to forward or cause to be forwarded to the Trustee all relevant materials delivered by the Beneficiary to Canco or to the transfer agent of the Exchangeable Shares (including a copy of the retraction request delivered pursuant to Section 6(1) of the Share Provisions) in connection with such proposed redemption of the Retracted Shares.

     RG covenants that if any RG Shares to be issued and delivered pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Right or the Exchange Right require registration or qualification with or approval of or the filing of any document, including any prospectus or similar document, or the taking of any proceeding with or the obtaining of any order, ruling or consent from any Agency under any United States or Canadian federal, provincial or territorial law or regulation or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any Agency or the fulfillment of any other United States or Canadian legal requirement before such shares may be issued and delivered by RG to the initial holder thereof or in order that such shares may be freely traded (other than any restrictions of general application on transfer by reason of a holder being a “control person” or the equivalent of RG for purposes of Canadian securities Law or any United States equivalent), RG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (which, for greater certainty, shall not require RG to consent to a term or condition of an approval or consent which RG reasonably determines could have a materially adverse effect on RG or its subsidiaries) to cause such RG Shares (or such other shares or securities) to be and remain duly registered, qualified or approved. RG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (which, for greater certainty, shall not require RG to consent to a term or condition of an approval or consent which RG reasonably determines could have a materially adverse effect on RG or its subsidiaries) to cause all RG Shares (or such other shares or securities) to be delivered pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Right or the Exchange Right to be listed, quoted or posted for trading on all stock exchanges and quotation systems on which outstanding RG Shares have been listed by RG and remain listed and are quoted or posted for trading at such time.

5.11 RG Shares

     RG hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the RG Shares issuable as described herein will be duly authorized and validly issued as fully paid and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance.

5.12 Automatic Exchange on Liquidation of RG

     (1) RG shall give the Trustee written notice of each of the following events at the time set forth below:

	(a)		in the event of any determination by the board of directors of RG to institute voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up proceedings with respect to RG or to effect any other distribution of assets of RG among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, at least 60 days prior to the proposed effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other distribution; and
	(b)		as soon as practicable following the earlier of (A) receipt by RG of notice of, and (B) RG otherwise becoming aware of any instituted claim, suit, petition or other proceedings with respect to the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of RG or to effect any other distribution of assets of RG among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, in each case where RG has failed to contest in good faith any such proceeding commenced in respect of RG within 30 days of becoming aware thereof.

     (2) As soon as practicable following receipt by the Trustee from RG of notice of any event (a “Liquidation Event”) contemplated by Section 5.12(1)(a) or Section 5.12(1)(b), the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Beneficiaries. Such notice shall be provided to the Trustee by RG and shall include a brief description of the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for RG Shares provided for in Section 5.12(3).

     (3) In order that the Beneficiaries will be able to participate on a pro rata basis with the holders of RG Shares in the distribution of assets of RG in connection with a Liquidation Event, immediately prior to the effective date (the “Liquidation Event Effective Date”) of a Liquidation Event, all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares shall be automatically exchanged for RG Shares. To effect such automatic exchange, RG shall purchase each Exchangeable Share outstanding immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date and held by Beneficiaries, and each Beneficiary shall sell the Exchangeable Shares held by it at such time, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance, for a purchase price per share equal to (i) the Current Market Price of an RG Share on the day prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date, which shall be satisfied in full by RG issuing to the Beneficiary one RG Share, plus (ii) an additional amount equal to the full amount of all declared and unpaid dividends on each such Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the date of the exchange. RG shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate in connection with each automatic exchange setting forth the calculation of the purchase price for each Exchangeable Share. Upon payment by RG of such purchase price, the relevant Beneficiary shall cease to have any right to be paid by Canco any amount in respect of declared and unpaid dividends on each Exchangeable Share.

     (4) The closing of the transaction of purchase and sale contemplated by the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for RG Shares shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date, and each Beneficiary shall be deemed to have transferred to RG all of the Beneficiary’s right, title and interest in and to such Beneficiary’s Exchangeable Shares free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance and the related interest in the Trust Estate and each such Beneficiary shall cease to be a holder of such Exchangeable Shares and RG shall issue to the Beneficiary the RG Shares issuable upon the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for RG Shares and on the applicable payment date shall deliver to the Trustee for delivery to the Beneficiary a cheque for the balance, if any, of the purchase price for such Exchangeable Shares, without interest, in each case less any amounts withheld pursuant to Section

5.13. Concurrently with such Beneficiary ceasing to be a holder of Exchangeable Shares, the Beneficiary shall become the holder of the RG Shares issued pursuant to the automatic exchange of such Beneficiary’s Exchangeable Shares for RG Shares and the certificates held by the Beneficiary previously representing the Exchangeable Shares exchanged by the Beneficiary with RG pursuant to such automatic exchange shall thereafter be deemed to represent RG Shares issued to the Beneficiary by RG pursuant to such automatic exchange. Upon the request of a Beneficiary and the surrender by the Beneficiary of Exchangeable Share certificates deemed to represent RG Shares, duly endorsed in blank and accompanied by such instruments of transfer as RG may reasonably require, RG shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Beneficiary certificates representing the RG Shares of which the Beneficiary is the holder.

5.13 Withholding Rights

     RG, Canco and the Trustee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend, distribution, price or other consideration otherwise payable under this agreement to any holder of Exchangeable Shares or RG Shares such amounts as RG, Canco or the Trustee is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada) or United States tax Laws or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign tax Law, in each case as amended or succeeded. The Trustee may act and rely on the advice of counsel with respect to such matters. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing Agency. To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, RG, Canco and the Trustee are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to RG, Canco or the Trustee, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and RG, Canco or the Trustee shall notify the holder thereof and remit to such holder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.

     (2) In the exercise of such rights, powers, duties and authorities the Trustee shall have (and is granted) such incidental and additional rights, powers, duties and authority not in conflict with any of the provisions of this agreement as the Trustee, acting in good faith and in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, may deem necessary, appropriate or desirable to effect the purpose of the Trust. Any exercise of such discretionary rights, powers, duties and authorities by the Trustee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all persons.

     (3) The Trustee in exercising its rights, powers, duties and authorities hereunder shall act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Beneficiaries and shall exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances.

In connection therewith, the Trustee may obtain the advice and assistance of such experts or advisors as the Trustee considers necessary or advisable (who may be experts or advisors to RG or Canco). If requested by the Trustee, RG or Canco shall retain qualified experts or advisors for the purpose of providing such tax advice or assistance.

In such case, but not otherwise, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to take proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction such as the Trustee might have taken; it being understood and intended that no one or more Beneficiaries shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights hereby created by any such action, or to enforce any right hereunder or the Voting Rights, the Automatic Exchange Right or the Exchange Right except subject to the conditions and in the manner herein provided, and that all powers and trusts hereunder shall be exercised and all proceedings at law shall be instituted,

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.1 Indemnification of the Trustee

     (1) RG and Canco jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents appointed and acting in accordance with this agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all claims, losses, damages, reasonable costs, penalties, fines and reasonable expenses (including reasonable expenses of the Trustee’s legal counsel) which, without fraud, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith on the part of such Indemnified Party, may be paid, incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party by reason or as a result of the Trustee’s acceptance or administration of the Trust, its compliance with its duties set forth in this agreement, or any written or oral instruction delivered to the Trustee by RG or Canco pursuant hereto.

     (2) In no case shall RG or Canco be liable under this indemnity for any claim against any of the Indemnified Parties unless RG and Canco shall be notified by the Trustee of the written assertion of a claim or of any action commenced against the Indemnified Parties, promptly after any of the Indemnified Parties shall have received any such written assertion of a claim or shall have been served with a summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the claim. Subject to (ii) below, RG and Canco shall be entitled to participate at their own expense in the defence and, if RG and Canco so elect at any time after receipt of such notice, either of them may assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce any such claim. The Trustee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Trustee unless: (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by RG or Canco; or (ii) the named parties to any such suit include both the Trustee and RG or Canco and the Trustee shall have been advised by counsel acceptable to RG or Canco that there may be one or more legal defences available to the Trustee that are different from or in addition to those available to RG or Canco and that, in the judgement of such counsel, would present a conflict of interest were a joint representation to be undertaken (in which case RG and Canco shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Trustee but shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Trustee). This indemnity shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

8.2 Limitation of Liability

The Trustee shall not be held liable for any loss which may occur by reason of depreciation of the value of any part of the Trust Estate or any loss incurred on any investment of funds pursuant

to this agreement, except to the extent that such loss is attributable to the fraud, gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee.

ARTICLE 9

     The Trustee, or any trustee hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to RG and Canco specifying the date on which it desires to resign, provided that such notice shall not be given less than thirty (30) days before such desired resignation date unless RG and Canco otherwise agree and provided further that such resignation shall not take effect until the date of the appointment of a successor trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor trustee.

9.3 Successor Trustee

     Any successor trustee appointed as provided under this agreement shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to RG and Canco and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under this agreement, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee in this agreement. However, on the written request of RG and Canco or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due to it pursuant to the provisions of this agreement, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon the request of any such successor trustee, RG, Canco and such predecessor trustee shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers.

	(a)		such other person or continuing corporation (the “RG Successor”), by operation of law, becomes, without more, bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement or, if not so bound, executes, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, a trust agreement supplemental hereto and such other instruments (if any) as are necessary or advisable to evidence the assumption by the RG Successor of liability for all moneys payable and property deliverable hereunder and the covenant of such RG Successor to pay and deliver or cause to be delivered the same and its agreement to observe and perform all the covenants and obligations of RG under this agreement: and
	(b)		such transaction shall be upon such terms and conditions as substantially to preserve and not to impair in any material respect any of the rights, duties, powers and authorities of the Trustee or of the Beneficiaries hereunder.

10.2 Vesting of Powers in Successor

     Whenever the conditions of Section 10.1 have been duly observed and performed, the Trustee, RG Successor and Canco shall, if required by Section 10.1, execute and deliver the supplemental trust agreement provided for in Article 11 and thereupon RG Successor and such other person that may then be the issuer of the RG Shares shall possess and from time to time may exercise each and every right and power of RG under this agreement in the name of RG or otherwise and any act or proceeding by any provision of this agreement required to be done or performed by the board of directors of RG or any officers of RG may be done and performed with like force and effect by the directors or officers of such RG Successor.

10.3 Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries

     Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing (i) the amalgamation or merger of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of RG with or into RG, (ii) the winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of RG (other than Canco or Callco), provided that all of the assets of such subsidiary are transferred to RG or another wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of RG, or (iii) any other distribution of the assets of any wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of RG (other than Canco or Callco) among the shareholders of such subsidiary for the purpose of winding up its affairs, and any such transactions are expressly permitted by this Article 10.

10.4 Successor Transactions

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 10, in the event of an RG Control Transaction:

	(a)		in which RG merges or amalgamates with, or in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding RG Shares are acquired by, one or more other corporations to which RG is, immediately before such merger, amalgamation or acquisition, “related” within the meaning of the ITA (otherwise than by virtue of a right referred to in paragraph 251(5)(b) thereof);
	(b)		which does not result in an acceleration of the Redemption Date in accordance with paragraph (b) of that definition; and
	(c)		in which all or substantially all of the then outstanding RG Shares are converted into or exchanged for shares or rights to receive such shares (the “Other Shares”) of another corporation (the “Other Corporation”) that, immediately after such RG Control Transaction, owns or controls, directly or indirectly, RG,

then, (i) all references herein to “RG” shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to “Other Corporation” and all references herein to “RG Shares” shall thereafter be and be deemed to be references to “Other Shares” (with appropriate adjustments, if any, as are required to result in a holder of Exchangeable Shares on the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to the Share Provisions or Article 5 of the Plan of Arrangement or exchange of such shares pursuant to this agreement immediately subsequent to the RG Control Transaction being entitled to receive that number of Other Shares equal to the number of Other Shares such holder of Exchangeable Shares would have received if the exchange, redemption or retraction of such shares pursuant to he Share Provisions or Article 5 of the Plan of Arrangement, or exchange of such shares pursuant to this agreement had occurred immediately prior to the RG Control Transaction and the RG Control Transaction was completed) without any need to amend the terms and conditions f this agreement and without any further action required; and (ii) RG shall cause the Other Corporation to deposit one or more voting securities of such Other Corporation to allow Beneficiaries to exercise voting rights in respect of the Other Corporation substantially similar to those provided for in this agreement.
