8. Backup Withholding
Under U.S. federal income tax law, a Shareholder whose Deposited Securities are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28%.
U.S. Residents
To prevent backup withholding, a Shareholder that is a resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes is required to notify the Depositary of the Shareholder’s current taxpayer identification number(“TIN”)by completing the enclosed Substitute Form W-9, certifying that the TIN provided on that form is correct (or that such Shareholder is awaiting receipt of a TIN), and that (i) the Shareholder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the Shareholder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends or (ii) after being so notified, the Internal Revenue Service has notified the Shareholder that the Shareholder is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, such Shareholder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and payments that are made to such Shareholder pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding (see below).
Each Shareholder is required to give the Depositary the TIN (e.g., Social Security number or employer identification number) of the record holder of the Common Shares. If the Common Shares are registered in more than one name or are not registered in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for additional guidance on which number to report. A Shareholder who does not have a TIN may check the box in Part 3 of the Substitute Form W-9 if such Shareholder has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If the box in Part 3 is checked, the Shareholder must also complete the information in the box entitled “Certificate of Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number” below in order to avoid backup withholding. If the box in Part 3 is checked, payments made will be subject to backup withholding unless the Shareholder has furnished the Depositary with his or her TIN by the time payment is made. A Shareholder who checks the box in Part 3 in lieu of furnishing a TIN should furnish the Depositary with the Shareholder’s TIN as soon as it is received.
Certain Shareholders are not subject to these backup withholding requirements. To avoid possible erroneous backup withholding, a Shareholder who is a resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes and is exempt from backup withholding should complete the Substitute Form W-9 by providing his or her correct TIN, signing and dating the form, and writing “exempt” on the face of the form.
Non-U.S. Residents
A Shareholder who is not a resident of the United States for United States federal income tax purposes should submit to the Depositary the appropriate Form W-8. Generally, a foreign individual or a foreign corporation that is not a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States would provide a Form W-8BEN. A foreign entity that is a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States would generally provide a Form W-8IMY (which may require an additional Form W-8BEN for its beneficial owners). A foreign individual or a foreign entity that is engaged in a trade or business within the United States may be required to provide a Form W-8ECI. Form W-8BEN is enclosed herein. Forms W-8IMYand W-8ECI will be provided to you by the Depositary upon request.
All Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are exempt from these backup withholding and reporting requirements and to determine which form should be used to avoid backup withholding.
If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold 28% of any payments to be made to the Shareholder. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding, if any, will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by filing a tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. The Depositary cannot refund amounts withheld by reason of backup withholding.
If you have any questions regarding this offer, Canadian and international shareholders should call KingsdaleShareholder Services Inc. at 1-866-639-8026 and U.S. shareholders should call Georgeson Inc. at 1-866-425-8280. |

9. Miscellaneous
(a) If the space on this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal is insufficient to list all certificates for Deposited Securities, additional certificate numbers and numbers of Deposited Securities may be included in a separate signed list affixed to this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal.
(b) If Deposited Securities are registered in different forms (e.g. “Joe Doe” and “J. Doe”), a separate Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal should be signed for each different registration.
(c) No alternative, conditional or contingent deposits will be accepted. All depositing Shareholders by execution of this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof) waive any right to receive any notice of acceptance of Deposited Securities for payment.
(d) The offer and any agreement resulting from the acceptance of the offer will be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein. The Shareholder covered by this Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal hereby unconditionally and irrevocably attorns to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario and the courts of appeal therefrom.
