As long as Dax Dasilva has the right to form part of the list of nominee directors proposed by the Corporation hereunder, the Corporation shall propose Dax Dasilva for election to the Board and include him in any Management Proxy Circular, and take the necessary steps to ensure that Dasilva’s rights hereunder are respected. 2.2 CDPQ’s right to nominate to Board (a) As long as CDPQ, along with its Affiliates, collectively hold at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares, CDPQ shall have the right, according to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this section 2.2 and applicable Securities Legislation and Exchange Rules, to designate one nominee (the “CDPQ Nominee”) to form part of the list of nominee directors proposed by the Corporation which is included in a Management Proxy Circular. As long as CDPQ has the right to designate a nominee to the Board hereunder, the Corporation shall propose the CDPQ Nominee for election to the Board and include such CDPQ Nominee in any Management Proxy Circular, and take the necessary steps to ensure that CDPQ’s rights hereunder are respected. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to be eligible as a CDPQ Nominee, the CDPQ Nominee must be eligible to be a corporate director pursuant to the CBCA, applicable Securities Legislation and Exchange Rules and be independent within the meaning of Regulation 52-110. (c) The Corporation shall notify CDPQ of its intention to hold an annual meeting (or a special meeting at which the Shareholders are to vote for the election of directors) of Shareholders at least forty-five (45) days before its Management Proxy Circular relating to such meeting is approved by the Board, subject to a shorter notification period with CDPQ’s consent and sub-section 2.2(d). CDPQ shall have the right to notify the Corporation of the CDPQ Nominee designated by it in accordance with sub-section 2.2(a) at any time, but at least fifteen (15) days before the said approval. (d) Subject to the terms of sub-sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b), before the first annual meeting of Shareholders following the date of this Agreement, or if the Person designated by CDPQ as CDPQ Nominee ceases to be a director of the Corporation or if the Board position held by the CDPQ Nominee otherwise becomes vacant, CDPQ shall be entitled to recommend another Person as CDPQ Nominee to replace such CDPQ Nominee, and such Person shall be appointed by the Board as soon as reasonably possible, insofar as the CBCA, applicable Securities Legislation and Exchange Rules allow, for a term ending at the close of


 
- 12 - the next annual meeting of Shareholders. Failing such a recommendation by CDPQ, the Board may fill the vacancy, if it is required to do so to comply with the CBCA, applicable Securities Legislation and Exchange Rules, provided such director thereby designated by the Board resigns as soon as CDPQ decides to put forward a CDPQ Nominee to fill such vacancy. (e) In the event CDPQ and its Affiliates cease to collectively hold the percentage of issued and outstanding Shares necessary to be entitled to designate a CDPQ Nominee, any CDPQ Nominee already in office may continue to sit on the Board and any Principal Board Committee on which the said CDPQ Nominee sits, until the next meeting of Shareholders or any prior date as determined by CDPQ. If CDPQ later obtains again the right to designate a CDPQ Nominee in accordance with sub-section 2.2(a), CDPQ may re-designate an incumbent CDPQ Nominee to form part of the list of nominee directors proposed by the Corporation which is included in a Management Proxy Circular. 2.3 Quorum for Board and Principal Board Committees As long as the CDPQ Nominee sits on the Board, or on one or more Principal Board Committees, the quorum required to validly hold a meeting of the Board or Principal Board Committee in question on which the CDPQ Nominee sits shall include at least the CDPQ Nominee, provided that if a CDPQ Nominee is given an opportunity to participate in a meeting of the Board or a Principal Board Committee and such CDPQ Nominee does not attend two (2) consecutive meetings, the quorum at the subsequent meeting shall not be required to include the CDPQ Nominee in order to be met. 2.4 Nomination rights granted to other Shareholders In the event a Person other than Dasilva and CDPQ also receives Board nomination rights similar to those of CDPQ, the Corporation agrees to ensure that such Person exercises, or causes to be exercised, all the voting rights under its control (or under the control of Persons controlled by it) in favour of the election of Dax Dasilva and the CDPQ Nominee, it being understood that such Person may abstain from voting in favour of the election of Dax Dasilva and the CDPQ Nominee. ARTICLE 3 REGISTRATION RIGHTS 3.1 Registration Rights Each Principal Shareholder shall have the right to benefit from the Registration Rights according to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article 3. 3.2 Demand Registration Rights (a) Each Principal Shareholder which, in each case along with its Affiliates, holds at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Shares (calculated before the occurrence of the Offering caused by the exercise of the registration right) may, upon written notice to the Corporation, ask the Corporation to make a Public Offering in


 
- 13 - Canada and/or the United States for Eligible Securities then held by the Principal Shareholder and its Affiliates (the “Requesting Shareholder”) having an anticipated total offering price of at least CAN$25,000,000 (the “Demand Registration Right”). All requests submitted under section 3.2 hereof shall specify the total number or amount of Eligible Securities to be included in the Public Offering as well as the terms for making the said Public Offering and the underwriter who will conduct it (the “Demand Registration Notice”). The Corporation shall make every reasonable effort so that the Eligible Securities for which a Requesting Shareholder exercises its Demand Registration Right are registered or qualified for distribution according to the terms set forth in the Demand Registration Notice as soon as practicable, but in any event, within 45 days following receipt of the Demand Registration Notice (other than by way of a Bought Deal) by the Corporation (a “Demand Registration”), and the procedures set forth in Schedule A shall apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Corporation will satisfy any Demand Registration at any time that a Base Shelf Prospectus is effective by filing a Prospectus supplement as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days following receipt of the Demand Registration Notice, and (ii) in the event the Demand Registration is to be made pursuant to a Bought Deal in accordance with this Agreement, the Corporation shall attend to such preparations and filings as soon as is practicable in the circumstances taking into account the speed and urgency under which Bought Deals are conducted. (b) The Corporation shall not be required under this Article 3 to effect a registration of Eligible Securities in connection with a Demand Registration (i) within 90 days following the completion of an Offering in which a Demand Registration Right or a Piggyback Registration Right has been exercised, and (ii) more than two (2) times within a twelve (12)-month period. (c) In the Demand Registration Notice, the Requesting Shareholder shall indicate the intention to offer the Eligible Securities in connection with an Underwritten Offering (and whether by way of Bought Deal or otherwise). If the Requesting Shareholder wishes to carry out the Demand Registration as an Underwritten Offering, the Requesting Shareholder and the Corporation shall enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters chosen by the Requesting Shareholder (which shall be satisfactory to the Corporation, acting reasonably), containing the representations and warranties of the Corporation and other terms and conditions usually found in underwriting agreements respecting secondary offerings. (d) No Shareholder may participate in or exercise a piggyback registration right with respect to a Requesting Shareholder’s Demand Registration without the prior written consent of the Requesting Shareholder. (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the underwriters, acting in good faith, determine that there are marketing-related factors which would limit the number of Eligible Securities of the Requesting Shareholder which could form part of a Demand Registration, the number of Eligible Securities may be reduced by the number determined by the underwriters, acting in good faith.


 
- 14 - (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall have the right to postpone the filing of any preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus supplement or Registration Statement by not more than 60 days if the Board, acting in good faith, considers that such time is necessary to avoid harm to the Corporation, it being understood that the Corporation shall not be able to postpone the filing of any preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus supplement or Registration Statement pursuant to this sub- section 3.2(f) by more than 120 days in any 12-month period. (g) The Corporation will use every reasonable effort to remain at all relevant times eligible to effect a Demand Registration by way of Prospectus supplement, and to maintain at all times available and effective, a Base Shelf Prospectus. 3.3 Piggyback Registration Rights (a) If the Corporation plans to make one or more Offerings for its own behalf, on behalf of Shareholders other than a Principal Shareholder or on behalf of all of them, it shall give each Principal Shareholder which, in each case along with its Affiliates, holds at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares (calculated before the occurrence of the Offering caused by the exercise of a registration right) written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) of the planned Offering forthwith. Upon receipt of the Piggyback Notice, each Principal Shareholder thus notified shall have ten (10) Business Days to indicate whether it wishes to include a specific number of Eligible Securities in the Offering (the “Piggyback Registration Right”), such number not to exceed its proportionate share of the Offering, i.e. a fraction the numerator of which corresponds to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the total number of Eligible Securities then held by each Principal Shareholder and its Affiliates by (b) the total number of Subordinate Voting Shares to be included in the Offering on behalf of the Corporation and on behalf of one or more Shareholders, and the denominator of which corresponds to the total number of Subordinate Voting Shares issued and outstanding immediately before completion of the Offering (the “Portion Subject to Piggyback Registration”). The Corporation shall make every reasonable effort to ensure that a receipt or notice of effectiveness is issued, or a Prospectus supplement is filed, in each case as required, for any Prospectus or Registration Statement relating to the Eligible Securities for which the Selling Shareholder exercised its Piggyback Registration Rights and that they are included in the Public Offering (a “Piggyback Registration”), and the procedures set forth in Schedule A shall apply. (b) The Corporation shall not be required under this Article 3 to effect a registration of Eligible Securities ancillary to the registration of its securities in connection with any Offering relating or pursuant to: (i) dividend reinvestment plans; (ii) the acquisition of other businesses or in connection with a merger, business combination, exchange offer, takeover bid, arrangement, asset purchase or other type of acquisition of assets or shares held by a third party or a reorganization in each case which is approved by the Board, (iii) the grant of awards or issuance of securities under any equity-based compensation or similar arrangements, or (iv) a


 
- 15 - registration relating to a transaction effected pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act. (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, if a Public Offering is to be conducted as a Bought Deal, the ten (10) Business Day deadline following receipt of the Piggyback Notice set forth in this section 3.3 shall not apply and the Corporation shall send each Principal Shareholder the prior notice as quickly as possible under the circumstances, taking into account the speed and urgency with which Bought Deals are currently conducted according to usual market practice, and each Principal Shareholder shall only have such amount of time as is practicable under the circumstances to notify the Corporation whether or not it will participate in the Bought Deal, failing which the Corporation shall be free to proceed with the Bought Deal without the Principal Shareholders’ participation. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in connection with a Piggyback Registration, the lead underwriter(s) notify the Corporation that, in their reasonable judgement, the inclusion of requested Eligible Securities in such Public Offering exceeds the number of securities which may be sold in an orderly manner in connection with such Public Offering, within a price range reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, or that marketing-related factors require that the number of securities which may be included in such Public Offering be limited, the Corporation shall include in such Public Offering the portion of the Eligible Securities determined by such lead underwriter(s), according to the following priority: (i) first, the securities offered by the Corporation on its own behalf; and (ii) second, if there are additional securities which can be underwritten within a price range reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, given marketing- related factors, without leading to undue repercussions on the Public Offering of the offered securities after taking into account the inclusion of all the securities required according to sub-section 3.3(d)(i) above, the Eligible Securities for which the Principal Shareholders could exercise their Piggyback Registration Right, proportionally among the Shareholders participating in the Offering based on the number of Eligible Securities each Shareholder owns or over which it exercises control or direction, provided that, if Eligible Securities requested to be included in such Offering are not otherwise included in such Offering, the Eligible Securities which are not included shall be included, to the fullest extent possible and according to the priority indicated in this sub- section 3.3(d)(ii) as it relates to the Shareholders participating in the Offering, in connection with an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with such Offering for the number of Eligible Securities requested to be included in such Offering and which were not otherwise included in such Offering, up to the Portion Subject to Piggyback Registration.


 
- 16 - 3.4 Withdrawal of Eligible Securities (a) Any Selling Shareholder shall have the right to withdraw its request to have its Eligible Securities included in a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration under sections 3.2 and 3.3, as the case may be, by giving the Corporation written notice of its withdrawal request, provided that: (i) such request is made in writing before the enforceable underwriting commitment (such as a bought deal letter) or the underwriting agreement regarding such Public Offering is signed; and (ii) such withdrawal is irrevocable and, once made, the Selling Shareholder shall no longer have the right to include its Eligible Securities in the Offering regarding which such withdrawal was made. (b) Provided the Selling Shareholder withdraws all its Eligible Securities from a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration in accordance with sub-section 3.4(a) before a preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus supplement is filed, or a Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC, as the case may be, the Selling Shareholder shall be deemed not to have participated in such Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, as applicable. 3.5 Costs (a) In the case of a Demand Registration effected in accordance with section 3.2 or a Piggyback Registration effected in accordance with section 3.3, the Offering Costs shall be paid by the Corporation. However, any Selling Shareholder shall be responsible for the Selling Shareholder’s Offering Costs and its share of the commission payable to the underwriters in connection with a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration effected through a Public Offering. (b) However, the Corporation shall not be required to pay the Offering Costs related to a Demand Registration effected in accordance with section 3.2 hereof if the registration request is withdrawn at any time, at the Requesting Shareholder’s request (in which case such costs shall be paid by the Requesting Shareholder, but the Corporation shall make reasonable efforts to minimize such costs as soon as it becomes aware that the Requesting Shareholder has withdrawn the registration request). 3.6 Other Registration Rights In the event the Corporation grants a Registration Right to any Shareholder or future Shareholder other than a Principal Shareholder, the Corporation agrees to grant such Registration Rights, other than with the written consent of each Principal Shareholder which holds, along with its Affiliates, at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares, only insofar as they do not contain any term or condition in favour of such Shareholder or future Shareholder which is more favourable than the Registration Rights granted to the Principal Shareholders under this Article 3, and that, in the event there are terms or conditions of such nature in favour of such


 
- 17 - Shareholder or future Shareholder, they shall automatically be deemed to be included in this Article 3 and its amendments in favour of the Principal Shareholders, with appropriate amendments as the context may require. ARTICLE 4 DUE DILIGENCE; INDEMNIFICATION 4.1 Establishment; reasonable investigation In connection with the exercise by a Selling Shareholder of a Registration Right, and in connection with any participation by a Principal Shareholder in an Offering involving securities of the Corporation, the Corporation shall give any such Principal Shareholder, the underwriter(s) of a Public Offering or any other party identified by the Principal Shareholder as having a valid interest in the transaction, as well as their respective legal advisers and auditors, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of the documentation necessary to carry out the transaction, and each of its amendments or supplements. The Corporation shall give each of them reasonable and usual access to the books and records of the Corporation as well as the reasonable and usual possibility of discussing the Corporation’s activities with its officers, auditors and legal advisers and to make any reasonable and usual due diligence which the latter may reasonably request, provided such Persons agree to keep such information confidential. 4.2 Indemnification by the Corporation (a) In connection with a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law any Selling Shareholder and its Affiliates as well as each of their respective directors, officers, employees, mandataries, shareholders and partners (collectively, the “Selling Shareholder Indemnified Parties”), with respect to any loss (excluding loss of profit), liability, claim, damages and costs whatsoever, including the sums paid in settlement of an investigation, ordinance, order, litigation, lawsuit or claim, whether joint or solidary, suffered or incurred, stemming from or based on a misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation of a material fact contained in a Prospectus, Registration Statement or an amendment thereof, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact which must be disclosed in it or that is necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or suffered or incurred and stemming from or based on the failure to comply with applicable Securities Legislation (other than the Selling Shareholder’s failure to comply with applicable Securities Legislation); however, the Corporation shall not be liable under this section 4.2 for any settlement of an action made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed; in addition, the indemnity contemplated by this section 4.2 with regard to the Selling Shareholder shall not apply to a loss, liability, claim, damages or costs insofar as they stem from or are established based on a misrepresentation or omission or an alleged misrepresentation or omission (i) made, based on and in accordance with written information provided to the Corporation by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder about the Selling Shareholder for the purpose of preparing the


 
- 18 - Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as applicable, or (ii) found in a Prospectus, Registration Statement or a document incorporated by reference therein, in the case of a direct sale by the Selling Shareholder (including a sale of Eligible Securities through an underwriter whose services are retained by the Selling Shareholder in connection with an offering on behalf of the Selling Shareholder only), if the Selling Shareholder (or any Person acting on its behalf) has not sent or delivered a copy of the Prospectus or Registration Statement, as applicable, to the Person asserting such loss, liability, claim, damages or costs within the times prescribed for such purpose in applicable Securities Legislation where such Prospectus or Registration Statement, as applicable, corrected such misrepresentation or omission, after the Corporation provided the Selling Shareholder with a sufficient number of copies of such document within a time reasonably allowing the Selling Shareholder (or the Person acting on its behalf) to send or deliver the copy thereof within the times prescribed for such purpose in applicable Securities Legislation. All amounts paid by the Corporation to a Selling Shareholder Indemnified Party under this section 4.2 further to any such loss shall be reimbursed to the Corporation if a court determines in a final judgement without the possibility of appeal or review that such Selling Shareholder Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification by the Corporation. (b) It is understood that the indemnification rights contemplated by sub-section 4.2(a) may be exercised by the Selling Shareholder or its Affiliates, and shall not be affected in any manner by the exercise or failure to exercise such indemnification rights or the waiver thereof, in whole or in part, by another Shareholder which is not the Selling Shareholder’s Affiliate. 4.3 Indemnification by the Selling Shareholder (a) In connection with a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, any Selling Shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless to the extent permitted by law the Corporation and its Affiliates as well as each of their respective directors, officers, employees, mandataries and shareholders (collectively, the “Corporation Indemnified Parties”), with respect to any loss (excluding loss of profit), liability, claim, damages and costs whatsoever, including the sums paid in settlement of an investigation, ordinance, order, litigation, lawsuit or claim, whether joint or solidary, suffered or incurred, stemming from or based on a misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation of a material fact contained in a Prospectus, Registration Statement or an amendment thereof, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or its omission or alleged omission of a material fact which must be disclosed in it or that is necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or suffered or incurred and stemming from or based on the failure to comply with applicable Securities Legislation by such Selling Shareholder (for greater certainty, other than the Corporation’s, other Selling Shareholder(s)’ or any other party’s failure to comply with applicable Securities Legislation) in connection with the applicable Demand Registration or Piggyback


 
- 19 - Registration, but, in any case, only regarding misrepresentations or omissions or alleged misrepresentations or omissions made in the Prospectus or Registration Statement, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, and included based on and in accordance with written information provided to the Corporation by or on behalf of such Selling Shareholder about such Selling Shareholder for the purpose of preparing the Prospectus or Registration Statement, as applicable; however, the Selling Shareholder shall not be liable under this sub-section 4.3(a) for any settlement of an action made without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably denied or delayed; in addition, the indemnity contemplated by this sub-section 4.3(a) shall not apply to a loss, liability, claim, damages or costs insofar as they stem from a misrepresentation or omission or an alleged misrepresentation or omission found in a Prospectus or Registration Statement if the Corporation (or any Person acting on its behalf, including the Persons who participate as underwriters for the Offering or the sale of Eligible Securities in connection with a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, but other than an underwriter whose services are retained by the Selling Shareholder in connection with an Offering on behalf of the Selling Shareholder only) has not sent or delivered a copy of the Prospectus or Registration Statement, as applicable, to the Person asserting such loss, liability, claim, damages or costs at the latest at the time of remittance of written confirmation of a sale of securities covered thereby to such Person where such Prospectus or Registration Statement, as applicable, corrected such misrepresentation or omission. The amounts paid by the Selling Shareholder to a Corporation Indemnified Party under this sub-section 4.3(a) further to any such loss shall be reimbursed to the Selling Shareholder if a court determines in a final judgement without the possibility of appeal or review that such Corporation Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification by the Selling Shareholder. (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, in connection with a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration, a Selling Shareholder shall not be liable for the indemnification hereunder for an amount greater than the net proceeds paid to it in connection with the Offering related to such Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration. 4.4 Contestation of action by Indemnifying Parties Each party entitled to indemnification under this Article 4 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party that must provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) forthwith after such Indemnified Party gains actual knowledge of any claim regarding which an indemnity may be requested, but the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not release it from any liability it may have toward the Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article 4, other than to the extent of the damage or harm caused by such notification delay. The Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for contesting such action, and shall retain the services of the legal advisers of its choice to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party, and pay the costs thereof. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain the services of its own legal advisers in such a case, but the attorneys’ fees and legal costs of such legal advisers shall be paid by the Indemnified Party, unless the retaining of the services of such legal advisers has been


 
- 20 - authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the contestation of such action or unless the Indemnifying Party failed to retain the services of legal advisers to be in charge of contesting such action or the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on the opinion of legal advisers, that the representation of it and the Indemnifying Party by the same legal advisers would be inappropriate given their actual or potential diverging interests (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the contestation of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), and in all such cases the fees and reasonable costs shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party; provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall in no case be required to pay the costs of more than one law firm acting as legal advisers with respect to all the Indemnified Parties in accordance with this sentence. In connection with the contestation of such a claim or dispute, no Indemnifying Party shall consent, other than with the consent of each Indemnified Party, to a judgement or settlement which (i) does not include as an essential term the granting by the claimant to such Indemnified Party of a release from any liability regarding such claim or dispute, or (ii) covers an injunction or similar recourse which could give rise to the establishment of a custom or practice contrary to the current business interests of the Indemnifying Party. 4.5 Survival The indemnification contemplated hereunder shall survive the expiry of this Agreement and shall remain in effect notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or an officer or director of or Person having control over such Indemnified Party and shall survive any transfer of securities thereunder in favour of the Selling Shareholder Indemnified Parties. 4.6 Status as trustee Each Principal Shareholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Article 4, the Corporation is binding itself for its own behalf and as mandatary of its Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, mandataries, shareholders and partners of the Corporation and its Affiliates, which are Indemnified Parties. In this regard, the Corporation shall act as trustee for such Indemnified Parties of any Selling Shareholder’s undertakings under this Article 4 toward such Indemnified Parties and accepts such trusts and shall fulfil such undertakings on behalf of such Indemnified Parties. The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Article 4, each Principal Shareholder is binding itself for its own behalf and as mandatary of its Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, mandataries, shareholders and partners of the Principal Shareholder and its Affiliates, which are Indemnified Parties. In this regard, the Principal Shareholder shall act as trustee for such Indemnified Parties of any undertakings of the Corporation under this Article 4 toward such Indemnified Parties and accepts such trusts and shall fulfil such undertakings on behalf of such Indemnified Parties.

A-4 Schedule “A” shall be amended mutatis mutandis to comply with applicable Securities Legislation and the usual procedure for making a Public Offering in the jurisdiction in question. 1.2 Selling Shareholder’s obligations (a) The Corporation may require that the Selling Shareholder provide the Corporation with information concerning the Public Offering of such securities and other information relating to the Selling Shareholder, its Affiliates and their respective ownership of Shares (“Selling Shareholder Information”) which the Corporation may reasonably request in writing from time to time in order to comply with applicable Securities Legislation in each jurisdiction in which a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration will be effected. The Selling Shareholder agrees to provide such information to the Corporation to allow it to comply with the terms of this Agreement and applicable Securities Legislation and to cooperate with it as needed to such end. The Selling Shareholder shall notify the Corporation forthwith any time the Selling Shareholder becomes aware of the occurrence of an event (to the extent it relates to the Selling Shareholder, its Affiliates or information provided by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder in writing) which makes the Prospectus or the Registration Statement, including the documents incorporated therein by reference, contain a misrepresentation or contain an untrue statement or a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or that is necessary to make the statements made therein not misleading, or if it becomes necessary during the period of the Public Offering to amend or complete a Prospectus (including a Base Shelf Prospectus or a Prospectus supplement) or Registration Statement, in each case with respect solely to Selling Shareholder Information, to comply with Securities Legislation.
