Amalgamation Events

On the Effective Date:

(a)

the one (1) issued and outstanding class A common share, having no par value, of TSX Subco shall be converted into one (1) issued and fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common Share, such Class A Common Share having an Issued and Paid-up Share Capital equal to the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital of the presently issued and fully paid class A common share of TSX Subco;

(b)

each issued and outstanding class B common share, having no par value, of TSX Subco shall be converted share for share into one (1) issued and fully paid and non-assessable Class B Common Share;

(c)

the MX Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall, at the election of each holder thereof, either be: (i) cancelled and the holder thereof shall receive in exchange such number of duly authorized, fully-paid and non-assessable TSX Shares equal to the product of the number of such MX Shares held by such holder multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (the “Share Alternative”); or (ii) converted into such number of duly authorized, fully-paid and non-assessable Redeemable Shares as is equal to the number of such MX Shares held by such holder, which Redeemable Shares shall be redeemed immediately following the Amalgamation by Amalco in consideration for $39 per share (the “Cash Alternative”), in each case subject to pro-ration as provided below; provided that: (x) no fractional TSX Shares will be issued under the Amalgamation, and any resulting fractional TSX Share shall be rounded down, to the closest whole number, and the MX Shareholder will receive the net cash proceeds of such fractional TSX Share as set forth in Section 5.1.3; (y) the maximum number of Redeemable Shares issuable to MX Shareholders under the Amalgamation will be 10,979,487 Redeemable Shares and the maximum amount of cash payable by Amalco on redemption of Redeemable Shares shall be $428,200,000 (the “Maximum Cash Consideration”); and (z) the maximum number of TSX Shares issuable to MX Shareholders under the Amalgamation will be 15,346,000 TSX Shares (the “Maximum Share Consideration”).

Any MX Shareholder who fails to complete a Letter of Transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery, if applicable, or who does not properly elect either the Share Alternative or the Cash Alternative in the Letter of Transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery, if applicable, with respect to any MX Shares deposited by such MX Shareholder in connection with the Amalgamation will be deemed to have elected the Cash Alternative.

-8-

If the aggregate cash consideration that would otherwise be payable by Amalco to MX Shareholders upon redemption of the Redeemable Shares who elect (or are deemed to have elected) the Cash Alternative in respect of their MX Shares exceeds the Maximum Cash Consideration, the amount of cash consideration available to those MX Shareholders who have so elected (or are deemed to have elected) the Cash Alternative will be allocated pro-rata (on a per share basis) among such MX Shareholders in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the cash sought by each such MX Shareholder upon redemption of the Redeemable Shares who so elected (or is deemed to have elected) the Cash Alternative multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Cash Consideration, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of cash consideration sought by those MX Shareholders upon redemption of the Redeemable Shares who elected (or are deemed to have elected) the Cash Alternative in respect of their MX Shares, and each such MX Shareholder will receive TSX Shares as consideration for any cash balance which exceeds the amount of cash so allocated to the MX Shareholder, the number of such TSX Shares being the quotient of (i) the total cash balance divided by (ii) $50.10, and, with respect to any resulting fractional TSX Share, the MX Shareholder will receive the net cash proceeds of such fractional TSX Share as set forth in Section 5.1.3.

If the number of TSX Shares that would otherwise be issuable to MX Shareholders who elect the Share Alternative in respect of their MX Shares exceeds the Maximum Share Consideration, the number of TSX Shares available to those MX Shareholders who have so elected the Share Alternative will be allocated pro-rata (on a per share basis) among such MX Shareholders in an amount equal to the number of TSX Shares sought by each such MX Shareholder who so elected the Share Alternative multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Share Consideration and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of TSX Shares sought by those MX Shareholders who elected the Share Alternative in respect of their MX Shares in connection with the Amalgamation, rounded down to the nearest whole number, and each such MX Shareholder will receive Redeemable Shares as consideration for any balance which exceeds the number of TSX Shares allocated to the MX Shareholder (or cash in lieu of any fractional Redeemable Share that the MX Shareholder would otherwise have received pursuant to this paragraph), the number of such Redeemable Shares being the quotient of (i) the number of such balance of TSX Shares divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(d)

in consideration for the issuance by TSX of TSX Shares to MX Shareholders as provided in paragraph (c) above, Amalco shall cause TSX Newco to issue to TSX, in consideration for Amalco issuing to TSX Newco such number of Class C Common Shares as represents the value (the "Value") of the TSX Shares so issued to MX Shareholders, such number of class A preferred shares of TSX Newco having a total value of $100,000,000 and such number of class A common shares of TSX Newco as represents the balance of the Value.

-9-

5.1.2

Issued and Paid-up Share Capital

(a)

the amount to be added to the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital maintained in respect of the Class C Common Shares in connection with the issuance of Class C Common Shares by Amalco under the Amalgamation under 5.1.1(d) above on the Effective Date shall be obtained by:

(i)

adding together the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital of the issued and outstanding MX Shares and the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital of the class B common shares of TSX Subco immediately prior to the Amalgamation;

(ii)

deducting from the sum obtained under subparagraph (i) above an amount equal to the aggregate of the amount added to the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital of the Redeemable Shares issued under paragraph 5.1.1(c) above, as determined in paragraph 5.1.2(c) below; and

(iii)

multiplying the difference calculated under subparagraph (i) and subparagraph (ii) above by the ratio of the number of Class C Common Shares being issued under the Amalgamation to the total number of Class B Common Shares and Class C Common Shares being issued under the Amalgamation.

(b)

the amount to be added to the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital maintained in respect of the Class B Common Shares in connection with the issuance of Class B Common Shares by Amalco under the Amalgamation under 5.1.1(b) above on the Effective Date shall be obtained by:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

multiplying the difference calculated under subparagraph (i) and subparagraph (ii) above by the ratio of the number of Class B Common Shares being issued under the Amalgamation to the total number of Class B Common Shares and Class C Common Shares being issued under the Amalgamation.

(c)

the amount to be added to the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital maintained in respect of the Redeemable Shares in connection with the issuance of Redeemable Shares under the Amalgamation under paragraph 5.1.1(c) above on the Effective Date shall be $39 per Redeemable Share.

-10-

(d)

for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial enactment, the aggregate paid-up capital of Amalco shall be allocated first to the Redeemable Shares to the extent of $39 per Redeemable Share, then to the Class A Common Share to the extent of the paid-up capital of the presently issued and fully paid class A common share of TSX Subco and the balance to be allocated between the Class B Common Shares and Class C Common shares in proportion to the number of Class B Common Shares and Class C Common Shares being issued under the Amalgamation.

(e)

notwithstanding paragraph 5.1.2(c) above, if subsection 87(3) or any other provision of the Income Tax Act (Canada) would otherwise be applicable with the result that the amount of paid-up capital for the Redeemable Shares as determined for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) would be less than $39 per share, paragraph 5.1.2(c) above shall be read as if the reference therein to the amount of $39 was a reference to the amount that will result in such paid-up capital being equal to $39 per share taking into account subsection 87(3) or such other relevant provision of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the amount that would otherwise be credited to the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital of the Class B Common Shares as determined by paragraph 5.1.2(b) above and, if necessary, the amount that would otherwise be credited to the Issued and Paid-up Share Capital of the Class C Common Shares as determined by paragraph 5.1.2(a) above, shall be reduced by the amount necessary to achieve this result.

5.1.3

In order to replace the fractional TSX Shares that would have otherwise been issued to MX Shareholders, TSX will distribute to the Depository, as agent for the MX Shareholders, such number of TSX Shares (the “Remaining TSX Shares”) as represents the sum of the fractional TSX Shares to which the MX Shareholders are otherwise entitled, rounded up to the next whole number of Remaining TSX Shares, and the Depository, as agent for the MX Shareholders, shall, as expeditiously as is commercially reasonable thereafter, sell the Remaining TSX Shares through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange and pay the net proceeds of such sales, after brokerage sales commissions, to those MX Shareholders who are entitled to receive a fractional TSX Share based on their respective entitlements to Remaining TSX Shares.

5.1.4

Amalco or the Depository shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Amalco or the Depository are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, provincial, state, local or other Tax Law of any applicable country or jurisdiction. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity by Amalco or the Depository, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the MX Shareholders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Amalco or the Depository.

-11-

(d)

in consideration for the issuance by TSX of TSX Shares to MX Shareholders as provided in paragraph 1(c) above, the Company shall cause 9190-1983 Québec Inc.

(ii)

deducting from the sum obtained under subparagraph (i) above an amount equal to the aggregate of the amount added to the issued and paid-up share capital of the Redeemable Shares issued under paragraph 1(c) above, as determined in paragraph 2(c) below; and

(iii)

(b)	the amount to be added to the issued and paid-up share capital maintained in respect of the Class B Common Shares in connection with the issuance of Class B Common Shares by the Company under the Amalgamation under 1(b) above on the Effective Date shall be obtained by:

(d)

for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial enactment, the aggregate paid-up capital of the Company shall be allocated first to the Redeemable Shares to the extent of $39 per Redeemable Share, then to the Class A Common Share to the extent of the paid-up capital of the presently issued and fully paid class A common Share of TSX Subco and the balance to be allocated between the Class B Common Shares and Class C Common shares in proportion to the number of Class B Common Shares and Class C Common Shares being issued under the Amalgamation.

(e)

notwithstanding paragraph 2(c) above, if subsection 87(3) or any other provision of the Income Tax Act (Canada) would otherwise be applicable with the result that the amount of paid-up capital for the Redeemable Shares as determined for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) would be less than $39 per share, paragraph 2(c) above shall be read as if the reference therein to the amount of $39 was a reference to the amount that will result in such paid-up capital being equal to $39 per share taking into account subsection 87(3) or such other relevant provision of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the amount that would otherwise be credited to the issued and paid-up share capital of the Class B Common Shares as determined by paragraph 2(b) above and, if necessary, the amount that would otherwise be credited to the issued and paid-up share capital of the Class C Common Shares as determined by paragraph 2(a) above, shall be reduced by the amount necessary to achieve this result.
