In rendering our opinion regarding the Share Purchase Rights, we have assumed that the Board of Directors of the Company has acted and will act in accordance with its fiduciary duties with respect to the authorization, execution, delivery and administration of the Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement and the issuance of the Share Purchase Rights. Our opinion does not address the determination a court of competent jurisdiction may make regarding whether the Board of Directors of the Company would be required to redeem or terminate, or take other action with respect to, the Share Purchase Rights at some future time. Further, our opinion addresses the Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement and the Share Purchase Rights in their entirety and not any particular provision of them, and it is not settled whether the invalidity of any particular provision would invalidate the Share Purchase Rights in their entirety.
We express no opinion herein as to any laws or any matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Yours very truly,
/s/
