The following procedures must be followed in order to effect the valid delivery of Rights Certificates: If the Separation Time does not occur prior to the Expiry Time, a deposit of Common Shares will also constitute a deposit of the associated SRP Rights. If the Separation Time occurs prior to the Expiry Time and Rights Certificates are distributed by MEG to the Shareholders prior to the time that the undersigned’s Common Shares are deposited pursuant to the Offer, in order for the Common Shares to be validly deposited, Rights Certificate(s) representing SRP Rights at least equal in number to the number of Common Shares deposited must be delivered with the Letter of Transmittal or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation, to the Depositary.

In any case, a deposit of Common Shares constitutes an agreement by the signatory to deliver Rights Certificate(s) representing SRP Rights at least equal in number to the number of Common Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation, to the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario as specified in the Letter of Transmittal at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the second trading day on the TSX after the date, if any, that Rights Certificate(s) are distributed. The Offeror reserves the right to require, if the Separation Time occurs prior to the Expiry Time, that the Depositary receive, prior to taking-up the Common Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer, Rights Certificate(s) from a Shareholder representing SRP Rights or, if available, a Book-Entry Confirmation at least equal in number to the Common Shares deposited by the undersigned.
