This Form of Proxy is solicited on behalf of the management of MX. The shares represented by this Form of Proxy will be voted, where the shareholder has specified a choice with respect to the above matters, as directed above or, if no direction is given, will be voted FOR the Amalgamation Resolution.
 
Each shareholder has the right to appoint a proxyholder, other than the persons designated above, who need not be a shareholder of MX, to attend, act and vote for him and on his behalf at the Meeting. To exercise such right, the names of the nominees of management should be crossed out and the name of the shareholder’s appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided.
