Determination of Eligibility

Subject to Section 6.6, no person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless such person has been nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by a shareholder (as distinct from the nomination of directors) at a meeting of shareholders of any matter in respect of which such shareholder would have been entitled to submit a proposal pursuant to the Act.

10.1

Forum of Adjudication of Certain Disputes

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Superior Court of Justice of the Province of Ontario, Canada and the appellate Courts therefrom (or, failing such court, any other “court” (as defined in the Act) having jurisdiction and the appellate Courts therefrom), shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Act or the articles or the by-laws of the Corporation (as either may be amended from time to time); or (iv) any action or proceeding asserting a claim otherwise related to the “affairs” (as defined in the Act) of the Corporation. If any action or proceeding the subject matter of which is within the scope of the preceding sentence is filed in a Court other than a Court located within the Province of Ontario (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any security holder, such security holder shall be deemed to have consented to (a) the personal jurisdiction of the provincial and federal Courts located within the Province of Ontario in connection with any action or proceeding brought in any such Court to enforce the preceding sentence and (b) having service of process made upon such security holder in any such action or proceeding by service upon such security holder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such security holder.
