WHEREAS, the Company and the Backstoppers, in their capacities as holders of Jaguar’s $165.0 million 4.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due November 1, 2014 (the “4.5% Convertible Notes”) and/or $103.5 million 5.5% Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes due March 31, 2016 (the “5.5% Convertible Notes”, together with the 4.5% Convertible Notes, the “Notes”), are party to a Support Agreement dated the date hereof (together with the Schedules thereto, the “Support Agreement”) regarding the principal aspects of a series of transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”) under which it is contemplated that, among other things, the Notes and potentially certain other unsecured claims will be compromised and extinguished in exchange for common shares in the capital of reorganized Jaguar (the “New Jaguar Common Shares”) and the right for eligible subscribers to participate in an offering (the “Share Offering”) of 70,955,797i New Jaguar Common Shares (the “Offering Shares”), all as more fully defined and described in the Support Agreement and in the term sheet attached thereto as Schedule B and forming a part thereof (the “Term Sheet”, with the terms of the Transaction set out therein, in the Support Agreement and in this Agreement being, collectively, the “Transaction Terms”), which Transaction Terms shall form the basis for the terms of, be set forth in, and be implemented pursuant to, a plan of arrangement (the “Plan”) to be filed in respect of the Company in proceedings (the “Proceedings”) to be commenced under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”) or the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”), as applicable; and

i Assuming the issuance of 111,111,111 New Jaguar Common Shares in the aggregate.  If a different number of New Jaguar Common Shares are issued, the number of Offering Shares to be issued will be adjusted proportionally.
 
 
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule A attached hereto or in the Support Agreement.
 
WHEREAS unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts contained herein are expressed in US dollars.
 
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Backstoppers (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) hereby agree as follows:
 
1.
Share Offering
 
 
(a)
Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and the Support Agreement, the Issuer shall undertake the Share Offering as part of the Plan. Pursuant to the Share Offering: (i) each Eligible Subscriber (for greater certainty, including each of the Backstoppers delivering a Rep Letter to the Issuer on or before the Election Deadline) will have the right to participate in the Share Offering by electing, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, to subscribe for and purchase from the Issuer up to its pro rata share (based on the fraction that its Convertible Notes Claim represents of the total Convertible Notes Claims) of Offering Shares under the Share Offering (the “Subscription Privilege”); and (ii) each Participating Subscriber shall be allocated its pro rata share (based on the fraction that its Accrued Interest Claim represents of the total Accrued Interest Claims) of 9,044,203ii New Jaguar Common Shares (the “Accrued Interest Offering Shares”), provided that in no event shall a Participating Subscriber receive a greater number of Accrued Interest Offering Shares than Offering Shares.  Any Accrued Interest Offering Shares remaining after the allocation of the Accrued Interest Offering Shares to the Participating Subscribers pursuant to (ii) above shall be reallocated among Participating Subscribers who have received less Accrued Interest Offering Shares than Offering Shares on a pro rata basis based on Accrued Interest Claims.
 
______________________
 
ii Assuming the issuance of 111,111,111 New Jaguar Common Shares in the aggregate.  If a different number of New Jaguar Common Shares are issued, the number of Accrued Interest Offering Shares to be issued will be adjusted proportionally.
 
 
 
(b)
The subscription price for any Offering Shares issued pursuant to an exercise of the Subscription Privilege or any Backstopped Shares issued pursuant to the Backstop Purchase Obligation shall be as set out in the Information Circular and the Plan (the “Issue Price”).
 
 
(c)
The Information Circular and Plan shall provide for:
 
 
(i)
the manner in which Eligible Subscribers may elect to participate in the Share Offering (including the Election Deadline);
     
 
(ii)
the manner in which Participating Subscribers that are Backstoppers may elect to have their Backstop Commitment reduced by the total Issue Price that such Backstopper deposits into escrow on or before the Participating Subscriber Funding Deadline (as defined below) in respect of Offering Shares that such Backstopper subscribes for pursuant to the exercise of all or part of its Subscription Privilege, provided that such Backstopper’s Backstop Commitment shall not be reduced below zero (the “Backstop Commitment Reduction Election”, with a Backstopper so electing being a “Commitment Reduction Electing Backstopper”);
     
 
(iii)
the manner in which each Participating Subscriber will be informed of the number of Offering Shares to be acquired by them on implementation of the Plan pursuant to the Subscription Privilege and the aggregate Issue Price therefor, and the number of Accrued Interest Offering Shares allocated to them;
     
 
(iv)
the date (the “Participating Subscriber Funding Deadline”, which date shall be a date prior to the Funding Deadline relating to the Backstop Commitments) by which each Participating Subscriber (for greater certainty, including each Backstopper who has properly exercised all or part of its Subscription Privilege) must deposit in escrow the aggregate Issue Price for all Offering Shares subscribed for by it pursuant to the exercise of all or part of its Subscription Privilege (the “Participating Subscriber’s Payment Amount”), failing which it will cease to be a Participating Subscriber and its subscription for Offering Shares pursuant to the Subscription Privilege and right to receive Accrued Interest Offering Shares shall be null and void;
     
 
(v)
the manner in which the Backstoppers will be informed of the number of Offering Shares not validly subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription Privilege and the number of Backstop Consideration Shares allocated to them;
     
 
(vi)
the release to the Issuer of funds from escrow in respect of the aggregate Issue Price for the Offering Shares subscribed for pursuant to the Subscription Privilege; and
     
 
(vii)
the issuance of the Offering Shares and Accrued Interest Offering Shares to the Participating Subscribers and the Backstopped Shares and Backstop Consideration Shares to the Backstoppers.
 
 
(d)
No fractional Offering Shares, Accrued Interest Offering Shares, Backstopped Shares or Backstop Consideration Shares shall be issued under the Share Offering. To the extent that any Eligible Subscriber would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional Offering Share, Accrued Interest Offering Share, Backstopped Share or Backstop Consideration Share pursuant to the Subscription Privilege, its Backstop Purchase Obligation or otherwise, the number of Offering Shares or Backstopped Shares that would be acquired by or Accrued Interest Offering Shares or Backstop Consideration Shares allocated to such Eligible Subscriber shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
 
 
(e)
Any Backstopped Shares remaining after any assumption of all or a part of the Backstop Commitment(s) of the Defaulting Backstopper(s) or Objecting Backstopper(s) in accordance with Section 2(d) or Section 8(c), as applicable, as at the Implementation Date shall not be issued by the Issuer.
 
2.

(a)
Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Backstoppers hereby severally agrees to:

(ii)
co-operate with the Issuer (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) in obtaining such consents and approvals as are required in order to permit such Backstopper to acquire all of the Offering Shares, Accrued Interest Offering Shares, Backstopped Shares and Backstop Consideration Shares that may be issued to it pursuant to the Share Offering and this Agreement; and
     
 
(iii)
co-operate with the Company (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) in the preparation of the Information Circular to the extent information is required from the Backstopper or is otherwise contemplated hereunder.

(c)
Without limiting Section 2(b), each Backstopper shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the day that is five Business Days prior to the Implementation Date (the “Funding Deadline”), either:
 
 
(i)
cash in an amount equal to such Backstopper’s Backstop Commitment as at the date on which the Backstopper makes such delivery based on the number of Backstopped Shares to be purchased by it in accordance with Section 2(a)(i); or
     
 
(ii)
a letter of credit, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, having a face amount equal to the amount described in Section 2(c)(i), and issued by a financial institution having an equity market capitalization of at least $10,000,000,000 and a credit rating of at least A+ from Standard & Poor’s or A1 from Moody’s,
 
in each case: (1) to be held in escrow, on terms acceptable to the Issuer and the Backstoppers, in each case acting reasonably, until all conditions to the Share Offering have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement and with irrevocable instructions to use such cash or letter of credit, as applicable, to the extent required to enable such Backstopper to comply with its Backstop Purchase Obligation; and (2) provided for greater certainty that, if a Backstopper (A) has exercised all or part of its Subscription Privilege and has paid its Participating Subscriber’s Payment Amount on or before the Participating Subscriber Funding Deadline, and (B) is a Commitment Reduction Electing Backstopper whose Backstop Commitment has been reduced to zero, such Backstopper shall not be required to deliver cash or a letter of credit to the Escrow Agent to comply with its Backstop Purchase Obligation under this Agreement and in no event shall such non-delivery constitute a default or failure to meet its obligations hereunder.
 
 
(d)
In the event that any one or more Backstoppers fails to meet its obligations in respect of its Backstop Commitment on or before the Funding Deadline (any such Backstopper, a “Defaulting Backstopper”), the Issuer shall provide the non-defaulting Backstoppers (the “Non-Defaulting Backstoppers”) or such other party or parties acceptable to the Non-Defaulting Backstoppers and the Issuer, in each case acting reasonably, that execute a Consent Agreement with the opportunity to assume those obligations (and the rights), and the Non-Defaulting Backstoppers or such other party or parties acceptable to the Non-Defaulting Backstoppers and the Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, assume the Backstop Commitment(s) of the Defaulting Backstopper(s).
 
3.

(l)
The Company (and the Issuer if not the Company) agrees to remove (and cause any registrar and transfer agent to remove) any legend on a share certificate required by the U.S. Securities Act to permit sales made in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S upon delivery of a signed declaration in the form as set out on Schedule C (or such other form as the Issuer and the seller may agree) and the Company (and the Issuer if not the Company) agrees to implement similar procedures for any shares held through the Canadian Depository for Securities (CDS) of the Depositary Trust Company (DTC).

(o)

(p)
Following implementation of the Plan, the net proceeds of the Share Offering shall be used by the Issuer for general corporate purposes as determined and approved by the new Board of Directors in place on completion of and in accordance with the Transaction.
 
 
(q)
Following a request by Goodmans or the Backstoppers, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by Law and the terms of any confidentiality obligations to which the Company is subject, and subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Advisor Confidentiality Agreement and applicable Noteholder Confidentiality Agreement, provide Goodmans or such Backstoppers, or any of them, as the case may be, with reasonable access to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ books and records (other than books or records that are subject to solicitor-client privilege) for review in connection with the Share Offering; provided that the provision of access to books and records shall be made or undertaken in a manner that minimizes disruption to the Company and its business and operations.

______________________
 
iii Assuming the issuance of 111,111,111 New Jaguar Common Shares in the aggregate.  If a different number of New Jaguar Common Shares are issued, the number of Backstop Consideration Shares to be issued will be adjusted proportionally.

Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries covenants and agrees jointly and severally to be liable to and to indemnify and save harmless each of the Backstoppers (other than any Defaulting Backstopper), together with their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective present and former shareholders, officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) and, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, claims, actions, proceedings, losses (other than indirect loss), costs, damages and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, the reasonable costs of defending against any of the foregoing, but excluding any and all liabilities, claims, actions, proceedings, losses, costs, damages and expenses of any kind that are attributable to the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of any Indemnified Party) to which any Indemnified Party may become subject or may suffer or incur in any way in relation to or arising from a breach by the Company or the Subsidiaries of any of their obligations, covenants, representations or warranties hereunder.  If any matter or thing contemplated in the preceding sentence (any such matter or thing being a “Claim”) is asserted against any Indemnified Party or if any potential Claim contemplated hereby comes to the knowledge of any Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Company as soon as reasonably possible of the nature and particulars of such Claim (provided that any failure to so notify shall not affect the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ liability hereunder except to the extent that the Company or the Subsidiaries are prejudiced thereby and then only to the extent of any such prejudice) and the Company shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be entitled (but not required) to assume at its expense the defence of any suit brought to enforce such Claim; provided that the defence of such Claim shall be conducted through legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and that no admission of liability or settlement in respect of any such Claim may be made by the Company or the Subsidiaries (other than a settlement that includes a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Parties without any admission or attribution of fault or liability on their part) or the Indemnified Party without, in each case, the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. In respect of any Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain separate or additional counsel to act on its behalf in the defence thereof, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Company fails to assume and diligently and actively prosecute the defence of the Claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party within ten Business Days after the Company has received notice of the Claim, (ii) the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of the separate or additional counsel, or (iii) the named parties to the Claim (including any added third or impleaded party) include both the Indemnified Party and the Company and/or the Subsidiaries, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them, in which case the Company shall not have the right to assume the exclusive defence of the Claim and the Company and the Subsidiaries shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the separate or additional counsel for the Indemnified Party.

The covenants of the Company set out in Sections 3(k), 3(l), 3(p) and 3(t) shall survive the implementation of the Transaction (including the Share Offering) for the benefit of the Backstoppers.
