To vote for the election of Mr. Richardson as a

directed to treat the election boxes for Mr. Kaushal on the form of
proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, as election boxes

cast in support of or withheld from Mr. Richardson.
Registered shareholders who have already
executed and submitted the form of proxy enclosed in the Circular
who wish to change their vote may do so by:
- completing a proxy form that is
dated later than the proxy form being revoked and mailing or faxing
it to Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the Corporation’s
