The undersigned acknowledges that all questions as to validity, form, eligibility (including timely receipt) and acceptance of any Warrants deposited pursuant to the Offer and of any notice of withdrawal shall be determined by the Offeror in its sole discretion and that such determination shall be final and binding. The undersigned acknowledges that there is no duty or obligation upon the Offeror, the Depositary or any other person to give notice of any defect or irregularity in any deposit or notice of withdrawal and no liability will be incurred by any of them for failure to give any such notice.

The undersigned recognizes that, under the circumstances set forth in Section 4 of the Offers to Purchase, "Conditions of the Offers", the Offeror may not be required to accept for payment any of the Securities deposited hereby. The undersigned acknowledges that such conditions are for the exclusive benefit of the Offeror and may be asserted by the Offeror regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such assertion, including any action or inaction by the Offeror, or, subject to the terms of the Support Agreement, may be waived by the Offeror in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, prior to the Expiry Time without prejudice to any other rights which the Offeror may have.

IN CONSIDERATION OF THE OFFERS AND FOR VALUE RECEIVED, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offers to Purchase and in this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, subject only to the provisions of the Offers to Purchase regarding withdrawal rights, the undersigned irrevocably accepts the Offers for and in respect of the Deposited Securities and (unless deposit is to be made pursuant to the procedure for deposit by book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3 of the Offers to Purchase, "Manner of Acceptance — Book-entry Transfer") delivers to you the enclosed Warrant certificate(s) representing the Deposited Securities and, on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Offers to Purchase, deposits, sells, assigns and transfers to the Offeror all right, title and interest in and to the Deposited Securities, and in and to all rights and benefits arising from the Deposited Securities including any and all Other Securities (as defined below).

If, on or after the date of the Offers, the Company should declare or pay any dividend or declare, make or pay any other distribution or payment on or declare, allot, reserve, or issue any securities, rights or other interests with respect to any series of Warrants, that is payable or distributable to the holders of Warrants on a record date that precedes the date of transfer of such Warrants into the name of the Offeror or its nominees or transferees on the Warrant register maintained by or on behalf of the Company, then without prejudice to the Offeror's rights under Section 4 of the Offers to Purchase, "Conditions of the Offers": (a) in the case of cash dividends, distributions or payments, the amount of the dividends, distributions or payments shall be received and held by the depositing holder of Warrants for the account of the Offeror until the Offeror pays for such Warrants, and to the extent that such dividends, distributions or payments do not exceed the cash purchase price per Warrant payable by the Offeror pursuant to the Offers, the cash purchase price per Warrant pursuant to the Offers will be reduced by the amount of any such dividend, distribution or payment; (b) in the case of non-cash dividends, distributions, payments, rights or other interests, the whole of any such non-cash dividend, distribution, payment, right or other interest shall be received and held by the depositing holder of Warrants for the account of the Offeror and shall be required to be promptly remitted and transferred by the depositing holder of Warrants to the Depositary for the account of the Offeror, accompanied by appropriate documentation of transfer; and (c) in the case of any cash dividends, distributions or payments in an amount that exceeds the cash purchase price per Warrant, the whole of any such cash dividend, distribution or payment shall be received and held by the depositing holder of Warrants for the account of the Offeror and shall be required to be promptly remitted and transferred by the depositing holder of Warrants to the Depositary for the account of the Offeror, accompanied by appropriate documentation of transfer. Pending such remittance, the Offeror will be entitled to all rights and privileges as owner of any such dividend, distribution, payment, right or other interest and may withhold the entire purchase price payable by the Offeror pursuant to the Offers or deduct from the purchase price payable by the Offeror pursuant to the Offers the amount or value of the dividend, distribution, payment, right or other interest, as determined by the Offeror in its sole discretion. In the event of any reduction in the amount paid per Warrant under the Offers resulting from a cash dividend, distribution or payment as described above, the Offers will be extended, if necessary, in accordance with Section 5 of the Offers to Purchase, "Extension and Variation of the Offers", such that not less than ten U.S. business days remain before the Offers expire.

If the undersigned's Warrant certificates are not immediately available, the undersigned cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, or the undersigned cannot deliver its Warrant certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary no later than the Expiry Time, the undersigned must deliver its Warrants according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offers to Purchase, "Manner of Acceptance — Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery".

The undersigned irrevocably appoints each officer of the Depositary and each officer of the Offeror and any other Person designated by the Offeror in writing, as the true and lawful agents, attorneys and attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the undersigned with respect to the Deposited Securities registered in the name of the undersigned on the books of the Company and deposited pursuant to the Offers and purchased by the Offeror (the "Purchased Securities"), and with respect to any and all dividends (other than certain cash dividends), distributions, payments, securities, rights, warrants, assets or other interests (collectively, "Other Securities"), which may be declared, paid, accrued, issued, distributed, made or transferred on or in respect of the Purchased Securities on or after the date of the Offers, except as otherwise indicated in Section 10 of the Offers to Purchase, "Changes in Capitalization; Dividends and Distributions; Liens".

The power of attorney will be granted upon execution of this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and shall be effective on and after the date that the Offeror takes up and pays for Purchased Securities (the "Effective Date"), with full power of substitution and resubstitution in the name of and on behalf of the undersigned (such power of attorney, coupled with an interest, being irrevocable) to: (i) transfer ownership of the Purchased Securities on the account books maintained by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidence of transfer and authenticity, to, or upon the order of, the Offeror; (ii) register or record the transfer of Purchased Securities and Other Securities on the registers of the Company; (iii) execute and deliver, as and when requested by the Offeror, any instruments of proxy, authorization or consent in form and on terms satisfactory to the Offeror in respect of such Purchased Securities and Other Securities, revoke any such instrument, authorization or consent or designate in such instrument, authorization or consent any Person or Persons as the proxy of such holder in respect of the Purchased Securities for all purposes, including in connection with any meeting (whether annual, special or otherwise or any adjournment thereof) of holders of relevant securities of the Company; (iv) execute and negotiate any cheques or other instruments representing any Other Securities payable to the undersigned; and (v) exercise any rights of the undersigned with respect to such Purchased Securities and Other Securities, all as set forth in this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal.

The undersigned also agrees, effective on and after the Effective Date, not to vote any of the Purchased Securities or Other Securities at any meeting (whether annual, special or otherwise or any adjournment thereof) of holders of Warrants or holders of Other Securities and not to exercise any or all of the other rights or privileges attached to the Purchased Securities or Other Securities and agrees to execute and deliver to the Offeror any and all instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents, in form and on terms satisfactory to the Offeror, in respect of all or any of the Purchased Securities or Other Securities, and to designate in such instruments of proxy the Person or Persons specified by the Offeror as the proxy or the proxy nominee or nominees of the holder in respect of the Purchased Securities or Other Securities. Upon such appointment, all prior proxies given by the holder of such Purchased Securities or Other Securities with respect thereto shall be revoked and no subsequent proxies may be given by such Person with respect thereto.

The undersigned covenants and agrees to execute, upon request of the Offeror, any additional documents, transfers and other assurances as may be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Securities or Other Securities to the Offeror and acknowledges that all authority therein conferred or agreed to be conferred may be exercised during any subsequent legal incapacity of the undersigned and shall, to the extent permitted by law, survive the death or incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of the undersigned and all obligations of the undersigned therein shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

If the cash payment to which the undersigned is entitled upon the Offeror taking up the Deposited Securities is greater than $25 million, the undersigned instructs the Offeror and the Depositary to make such payment by electronic transfer of Canadian funds and will provide to the Offeror, upon request, instructions for electronic transfer. In all other cases, the undersigned instructs the Offeror and the Depositary, upon the Offeror taking up the Deposited Securities, to mail a cheque, payable in Canadian funds and representing the cash payment to which the undersigned is entitled, by first class mail, postage prepaid, or to hold such cheque, if any, for pick-up, in accordance with the instructions given below. All amounts payable by the Offeror for Deposited Securities will be in Canadian currency. Should any Deposited Securities not be purchased, the deposited certificates and other relevant documents shall be returned promptly in accordance with the instructions in the preceding sentence. The undersigned acknowledges that the Offeror has no obligation pursuant to the instructions given below to transfer any Deposited Securities from the name of the registered holder thereof if the Offeror does not purchase any of the Deposited Securities.

By reason of the use by the undersigned of an English language form of Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, the undersigned shall be deemed to have required that any contract evidenced by the Offers as accepted through this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, as well as all documents related thereto, be drawn exclusively in the English language. En raison de l'usage d'une lettre d'envoi en langue anglaise par le soussigné, le soussigné et les destinataires sont réputés avoir requis que tout contrat attesté par les offres acceptées par cette lettre d'acceptation et d'envoi, de même que tous les documents qui s'y rapportent, soient rédigés exclusivement en langue anglaise.

(b): THE METHOD USED TO DELIVER THIS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE AND TRANSMITTAL AND ANY ACCOMPANYING CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING WARRANTS IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER, AND DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE ONLY WHEN SUCH DOCUMENTS ARE ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY. THE OFFEROR RECOMMENDS THAT THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION BE HAND DELIVERED TO THE DEPOSITARY AT ANY OF ITS OFFICES SPECIFIED BELOW, AND A RECEIPT OBTAINED; OTHERWISE THE USE OF REGISTERED MAIL WITH RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, PROPERLY INSURED, IS RECOMMENDED. HOLDERS OF WARRANTS WHOSE WARRANTS ARE REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A BROKER, DEALER, BANK, TRUST COMPANY OR OTHER NOMINEE SHOULD CONTACT THAT NOMINEE FOR ASSISTANCE IN DEPOSITING THOSE WARRANTS.

2. Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery

If a holder of Warrants wishes to deposit such Warrants pursuant to the Offers and certificates for such Warrants are not immediately available, the holder cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, or the holder cannot deliver all other required documents to the Depositary no later than the Expiry Time, those Warrants may nevertheless be deposited under the Offers provided that all of the following conditions are met:

(a): the deposit is made by or through an Eligible Institution (as defined below);
(b): a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (which is printed on yellow paper) in the form accompanying the Offers to Purchase and Circular or a facsimile thereof, properly completed and duly executed, including a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form specified in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, is received by the Depositary at the applicable addresses set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, no later than the Expiry Time; and
(c): the certificate(s) representing the deposited Warrants in proper form for transfer, or a Book-Entry Confirmation with respect to the deposited Warrants, together with this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal (or a facsimile hereof), properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantees (or in the case of a book-entry transfer of Warrants, an Agent's Message), covering the deposited Warrants and all other documents required by this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, are received by the Depositary at the applicable address specified in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery no later than 5:00 p.m., Toronto time, on the third trading day on the TSX after the Expiry Time.

The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand or transmitted by facsimile or mail to the Depositary at the applicable addresses set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and accompanying Warrant certificates to any office other than such offices of the Depositary does not constitute delivery for purposes of satisfying a guaranteed delivery.

An "Eligible Institution" means a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank, a major trust company in Canada, a member of the Securities Transfer Agent Medallion Program (STAMP), a member of the Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP), or a member of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program (MSP).

In such case, new certificate(s) for the number of Warrants not deposited will be sent to the registered holder as soon as practicable after the Expiry Time.

8. Solicitation

Identify the dealer or broker, if any, who solicited acceptance of the Offers by completing Block G on this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal. Present a list of beneficial holders, if applicable.

9. Substitute Form W-9

United States federal income tax law generally requires that a U.S. Securityholder who receives cash in exchange for Warrants must provide the Depositary with his correct Taxpayer Identification Number ("TIN"), which, in the case of a holder of Warrants who is an individual, is generally the individual's social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN or an adequate basis for an exemption, such holder may be subject to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding in an amount equal to 28% of the gross proceeds of any payment received hereunder. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.

To prevent backup withholding, each U.S. Securityholder must provide his correct TIN by completing the "Substitute Form W-9" set forth in this document, which requires such holder to certify under penalties of perjury, (1) that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN), (2) that (i) the holder is exempt from backup withholding, (ii) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that he is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends or (iii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that he is no longer subject to backup withholding, and (3) that the holder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien).

Exempt holders (including, among others, all corporations) are not subject to backup withholding and reporting requirements. To prevent possible erroneous backup withholding, an exempt holder must enter its correct TIN in Part 1 of Substitute Form W-9, write "Exempt" in Part 2 of such form, and sign and date the form. See the enclosed Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 (the "W-9 Guidelines") for additional instructions.

If Warrants are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for information on which TIN to report.

If a U.S. Securityholder does not have a TIN, such holder should: (i) consult the enclosed W-9 Guidelines for instructions on applying for a TIN, (ii) write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN in Part 1 of the Substitute Form W-9, and (iii) sign and date the Substitute Form W-9 and the Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number set forth in this document. In such case, the Depositary may withhold 28% of the gross proceeds of any payment made to such holder prior to the time a properly certified TIN is provided to the Depositary, and if the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within sixty (60) days, such amounts will be paid over to the Internal Revenue Service.

If the Substitute Form W-9 is not applicable to a U.S. Securityholder because such holder is not a U.S. person for United States federal income tax purposes, such holder will instead need to submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8 Certificate of Foreign status, signed under penalty of perjury. Such appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary.

A U.S. SECURITYHOLDER WHO FAILS TO PROPERLY COMPLETE THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 SET FORTH IN THIS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE AND TRANSMITTAL OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE APPROPRIATE IRS FORM W-8 MAY BE SUBJECT TO BACKUP WITHHOLDING OF 28% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO SUCH HOLDER PURSUANT TO THE OFFERS.

10. Stock Transfer Taxes

Except as otherwise provided in this Instruction 10, the Offeror will pay all stock transfer taxes with respect to the transfer and sale of any Warrants to it or its order pursuant to the Offers. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or if Warrant Certificate(s) for Warrants not deposited or not accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered holder(s), or if deposited Warrant Certificate(s) are registered in the name of any person other than the person(s) signing this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, the amount of any stock transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s) or such other person) payable on account of the transfer to such other person will be deducted from the purchase price of such Warrants purchased unless evidence satisfactory to the Offeror, in its sole discretion, of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted.
