Subject to the terms of the Grant Agreement, if and when cash dividends are paid with respect to Shares (other than any extraordinary dividend) to shareholders of record as of a record date occurring during the period from the Grant Date to the Settlement Date under the Grant Agreement, a number of additional PSUs shall be granted to the Eligible Employee who is a party to such Grant Agreement equal to the product of (i) the cash dividend paid with respect to a Share multiplied by (ii) the number of PSUs subject to such Grant as of the record date for the dividend, divided by the closing price of a Share on the Stock Exchange on the date on which the dividend is paid.

5.3

Adjustments. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of Shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of the Corporation’s assets to shareholders, or any other change in the capital of the Corporation affecting the Shares, such proportionate adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such change, shall be made with respect to the number of PSUs outstanding under the Plan.

For greater certainty, an Eligible Employee must be Employed in accordance with Section 1.3.11(a)(i) or 1.3.11(b)(i), as applicable, (rounded up to the nearest whole number of months) for a minimum participation period of six (6) months during a Performance Period to receive a cash payment or any other compensation for Vested PSUs. Any period of a leave of absence, with or without pay, will not count towards such minimum participation period. Further, an Eligible Employee shall have no right to receive a cash payment or any other compensation with respect to any PSUs that do not Vest.

For greater certainty, an Eligible Employee shall not be considered to be Employed on a Settlement Date if, prior to such Settlement Date, such Eligible Employee received a payment in lieu of notice of Termination of employment, whether under a contract of employment, as damages or otherwise. Further, in the event an Eligible Employee has been Employed in accordance with Section 1.3.11(a)(ii) or 1.3.11(b)(ii), as applicable, during the Performance Period in respect of a Grant, the number of PSUs relating to such Grant that become Vested shall be determined by the formula A x B/C, where:

equals the total number of PSUs relating to such Grant that would have Vested had the Eligible Employee been Employed in accordance with Section 1.3.11(a)(i) or 1.3.11(b)(i), as applicable, throughout such Performance Period;

equals the total number of months during such Performance Period in which the Eligible Employee was actively Employed in accordance with Section 1.3.11(a)(i) or 1.3.11(b)(i), as applicable, (rounded up to the nearest whole number of months); and

equals total number of months in the Performance Period relating to such Grant.

6.4

Termination of Employment for Cause and Resignation. In the event an Eligible Employee’s employment is Terminated for Cause by the Corporation, or a Subsidiary, as applicable, or the Eligible Employee otherwise ceases to be Employed for any reason other than as provided in Section 6.5 prior to the Settlement Date relating to a Grant, no PSUs relating to such Grant and no dividend equivalent PSUs in respect of such PSUs shall Vest.

6.5

Termination of Employment without Cause, Death or Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, subject to Section 6.7, in the event an Eligible Employee ceases to be Employed by reason of Termination of employment without Cause, death or Disability prior to the end of the Performance Period relating to a Grant, a number of PSUs (in this Section 6.5 such PSUs referred to as the “Pro-Rated PSUs”) determined by the formula A x B/C, where

equals the total number of PSUs relating to such Grant, being the number of PSUs credited to the Eligible Employee’s PSU Account as at the Grant Date in respect of such Grant, without giving effect to any potential increase or decrease in such number as a result of graduated Vesting conditions pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4.3;

equals the total number of months between the first day of the Performance Period for such Grant and the date the Eligible Employee ceases to be Employed (rounded up to the nearest whole number of months); and

equals total number of months in the Performance Period relating to such Grant,

together with any dividend equivalent PSUs relating to such Pro-Rated PSUs shall be eligible to become Vested PSUs subject to satisfaction or waiver by the Committee of the Performance Criteria relating to such Grant. Pro-Rated PSUs together with any dividend equivalent PSUs relating to such Pro-Rated PSUs under this Section 6.5 that become Vested PSUs shall be settled in accordance with Section 6.1.

6.6

Retirement Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, subject to Section 6.7, in the event an Eligible Employee ceases to be Employed by reason of Retirement prior to the end of the Performance Period relating to a Grant:

(a)

with respect to a Grant with a Grant Date prior to January 1, 2014, a number of PSUs (in this Section 6.6 such PSUs referred to as the “Pro-Rated PSUs”) determined by the formula A x B/C, where

equals the total number of months between the first day of the Performance Period for such Grant and the date of Retirement (rounded up to the nearest whole number of months); and

equals total number of months in the Performance Period relating to such Grant,

together with any dividend equivalent PSUs relating to such Pro-Rated PSUs shall be eligible to become Vested PSUs subject to satisfaction or waiver by the Committee of the Performance Criteria relating to such Grant. Pro-Rated PSUs together with any dividend equivalent PSUs relating to such Pro-Rated PSUs that become Vested PSUs shall be settled in accordance with Section 6.1; and

(b)

with respect to a Grant with a Grant Date of January 1, 2014 or later, a number of PSUs together with any dividend equivalent PSUs relating to such PSUs, shall become Vested PSUs on the last day of such Performance Period that would have vested pursuant to the Plan and the Grant Agreement applicable to such Grant had the Eligible Employee remained Employed until the end of such Performance Period. All such Vested PSUs shall be settled in accordance with Section 6.1.

6.7

Change in Control. . In the event of a Change in Control prior to the end of the Performance Period for a Grant, PSUs subject to such Grant shall not be affected and shall continue to vest as per the terms hereof, unless an Eligible Employee ceases to be Employed by reason of a termination of employment without Cause after such Change in Control. If this occurs a number of PSUs determined by the formula A x B/C, where

equals the total number of PSUs relating to such Grant;

equals the total number of months between the first day of the Performance Period for such Grant and the Termination Date (rounded up to the nearest whole number of months); and

equals total number of months in the Performance Period relating to such Grant,

PSUs that become Vested PSUs in connection with a Change in Control shall be settled by payment in cash, subject to payment or other satisfaction of all related withholding obligations in accordance with Section 9.2 and the terms of the applicable Grant Agreement, of an aggregate amount equal to the product of:

the Market Value on the effective date of the Change in Control,

multiplied by
