each calendar quarter thereafter until resolved otherwise by the Board, each non-executive director
will receive DSUs equal in value to

Once vested, each PSU and DSU entitles the holder thereof to receive either one common share of
the Company, the cash equivalent of one common share or a combination of cash and common
shares, as determined by the Company, net of applicable withholdings. DSUs may not be settled
until a director ceases to serve as a director of the Company. The Plan includes (i) a rolling 10%
stock option plan, and (ii) a fixed 10% plan which permits the Company to issue up to 19,521,680
shares on settlement of all non-stock option awards issued under the Plan (including DSUs and
PSUs). Following the above-noted grants, there are 1,905,882 shares issuable on settlement of all
