(ii) any material fact which has arisen or been discovered and would have

and file such Prospectus Amendment with the appropriate securities regulatory
authority in each of the Qualifying Provinces where such filing is required.

Day following the later of:

(i) the date on which all applicable filings or other requirements of the
Canadian Securities Laws with respect to such material change or change
in a material fact have been complied with in all Qualifying Provinces and
any appropriate receipts from the Principal Regulator and the OSC
obtained for such filings and notice of such filings from the Corporation or
the Corporation’s Counsel have been received by the Underwriters; and

(ii) the date upon which the commercial copies of any Prospectus Amendment
have been delivered in accordance with paragraph 3(d),

however, in no event shall the Closing Date be later than the Latest Closing Date,
as applicable.

transaction or the process leading thereto.

expenses (including without limitation any legal fees or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Underwriters in connection with defending or investigating any

in any way caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from, or in consequence of:

contained in the Prospectus, including all Documents Incorporated by
Reference, or in any certificate of the Corporation delivered under this

Documents Incorporated by Reference, or any certificate of the
Corporation delivered under this Agreement or pursuant to this Agreement
any fact (except any fact relating solely to the Underwriters), whether

threatened by any securities commission or other competent authority
based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement
or alleged omission or any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation
(except a statement which has been provided by the Underwriters in
writing specifically for use in the Prospectus or any Prospectus
Amendment or omission relating solely to the Underwriters or alleged
untrue statement which has been provided by the Underwriters in writing
specifically for use in the Prospectus or any Prospectus Amendment or
alleged omission relating solely to the Underwriters) in the Prospectus,

being referred to as a “Claim”) is asserted against any person or company in
respect of which indemnification is or might reasonably be considered to be
provided, such person or company (the “Indemnified Party”) will notify the
Corporation as soon as possible of the nature of such Claim (but the omission so
to notify the Corporation of any potential Claim shall not relieve the Corporation
from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party and any omission
so to notify the Corporation of any actual Claim shall affect the Corporation’s
liability under this Agreement only to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by
that failure). The Corporation shall assume the defence of any suit brought to
enforce such Claim; provided, however, that

With respect to any Indemnified Party who is not a party to this Agreement, the
Underwriters shall obtain and hold the rights and benefits of this paragraph in
trust for and on behalf of such Indemnified Party.

(d) Retaining Counsel

In any such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain other
counsel to act on his or its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of
such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Corporation
and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of the other
counsel; (ii) the named parties to any such Claim (including any added third or
impleaded party) include both the Indemnified Party and the Corporation and the
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
the actual or potential differing interests between them; (iii) the Corporation shall
not have retained counsel within seven (7) Business Days following receipt by the
 – 28 –

Corporation of notice of any such claim from the Indemnified Party; or (iv) the
named parties to any such suit or proceeding include both the Indemnified Party
and the Corporation, and the Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing
by counsel that representation of the Corporation and the Indemnified Party by the
same counsel would be inappropriate as there may be one or more legal defences
available to the Indemnified Party which are different from, in addition to or in
conflict with those available to the Corporation (in which case, if such
Indemnified Party notifies the Corporation in writing that it elects to employ
separate counsel at the expense of the Corporation, the Corporation shall not have
the right to assume the defence of such suit or proceeding on behalf of the
Indemnified Party but shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel for the Indemnified Party).

11. Contribution

(a) Rights of Contribution

In order to provide for a just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which

the indemnity provided in paragraph 10 would otherwise be available in
accordance with its terms but is, for any reason, held to be unavailable to or
unenforceable by the Underwriters or enforceable otherwise than in accordance
with its terms, the Corporation and the Underwriters shall contribute to the
aggregate of all claims, expenses, costs and liabilities and all losses (other than
loss of profits relating to the distribution of the Purchased Securities) of a nature
contemplated by paragraph 10 in such proportions so that the Underwriters are
responsible for the portion represented by the percentage that the aggregate fee
payable by the Corporation to the Underwriters bears to the aggregate offering
price of the Purchased Securities and the Corporation is responsible for the
balance, whether or not they have been sued together or sued separately, provided
however that: (i) the Underwriters shall not in any event be liable to contribute, in
the aggregate, any amounts in excess of such aggregate fee or any portion of such
fee actually received; and (ii) no party who has been determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final judgement that has become non-appealable to
have engaged in any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross negligence shall
be entitled to claim contribution from any person who has not also been so
determined to have engaged in such fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or gross
negligence. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to
this paragraph 11 are several in proportion to the percentages set forth opposite
their respective names in the Schedule hereto and not joint.

(b) Right of Contribution in Addition to Other Rights

The rights to contribution provided in this paragraph shall be in addition to and

not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the Underwriters or the
Corporation may have by statute or otherwise at law.
 – 29 –

(c) Calculation of Contribution

In the event that the Corporation may be held to be entitled to contribution from
the Underwriters under the provisions of any statute or at law, the Corporation
shall be limited to contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of:

(i) the portion of the full amount of the loss or liability giving rise to such
contribution for which the Underwriters are responsible, as determined in
paragraph 11(a), and

(ii) the amount of the aggregate fee actually received by the Underwriters
from the Corporation under this Agreement,

and an Underwriter shall in no event be liable to contribute any amount in excess of such
Underwriter’s portion of the Underwriting Fee actually received from the Corporation under this
Agreement.

(d) Notice

If the Underwriters have reason to believe that a claim for contribution may arise,
they shall give the Corporation notice of such claim in writing, as soon as
reasonably possible, but failure to notify the Corporation shall not relieve the
Corporation of any obligation which it may have to the Underwriters under this
paragraph 11 except to the extent by which the Corporation is prejudiced by such
failure.

(e) Right of Contribution in Favour of Others

With respect to this paragraph, the Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the
Underwriters are contracting on their own behalf and as agents for their affiliates,
directors, officers, employees and agents.

12. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void or unenforceable in whole or in part,

it shall be deemed not to affect or impair the validity of any other provision of this Agreement
and such void or unenforceable provision shall be severable from this Agreement.

13. Expenses

Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed, except as
specifically provided below, all expenses of or incidental to the creation, issue, delivery and
marketing of the Purchased Securities and all expenses of or incidental to all other matters in
connection with the transaction set out in this Agreement shall be borne by the Corporation
directly including, without limitation, fees and expenses payable in connection with the
qualification of the Purchased Securities for distribution to the public, the fees relating to listing
the Purchased Securities on any exchanges, the fees and expenses of the Corporation’s Counsel,
all fees and expenses of local counsel, all fees and expenses of the Auditors, all costs incurred in
connection with the preparation and printing of the Prospectus and certificates representing the
 – 30 –

Purchased Securities, and the reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the
Underwriters, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of the
Underwriters’ Counsel and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the marketing of the
Purchased Securities; provided however that if the purchase and sale of the Purchased Securities
is not completed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by reason of default of the
Underwriters and the Corporation has complied with this Agreement and is prepared to complete
the purchase and sale under this Agreement, the Corporation shall not be obliged to assume and
pay such expenses of the Underwriters.

14. Rights to Purchase

(a) Obligation of Underwriters to Purchase

The obligation of the Underwriters to purchase the Purchased Securities at the

Closing Time shall be several and not joint and several and shall be limited to the
percentage of the Purchased Securities specified opposite the name of each such
Underwriter in the Schedule.

Subject to paragraph 14(b), if one or more of the Underwriters fails to purchase

their percentage of the Purchased Securities at the Closing Time, then the other
Underwriters shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to purchase such
Purchased Securities, on a pro rata basis (or on such other basis as they may
agree). In the event that such right is not exercised, the others which are not in
default shall be relieved of all obligations to the Corporation in respect of such
Purchased Securities. Nothing in this paragraph shall oblige the Corporation to
sell to the Underwriters less than all of the Purchased Securities or relieve from
liability to the Corporation any Underwriter which shall be so in default. In the
event of a termination by the Corporation of its obligations under this Agreement,
there shall be no further liability on the part of the Corporation to the
Underwriters except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may
arise under paragraphs 10, 11 and 13.

(b) Purchases by Other Underwriters

If the amount of the Purchased Securities which the remaining Underwriters wish
to purchase exceeds the amount of the Purchased Securities which would
otherwise have been purchased by an Underwriter which is in default, such
Purchased Securities shall be divided pro rata among the Underwriters desiring to
purchase such Purchased Securities in proportion to the percentage of Purchased
Securities which such Underwriters have agreed to purchase as set out in the
Schedule.

(c) Rights to Purchase of the Other Underwriters

If one or more but not all of the Underwriters shall exercise their right of
termination under paragraph 9 then the others shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, to purchase all of the percentage of the Purchased Securities, which
would otherwise have been purchased by such Underwriters which have so
exercised their right of termination. If the amount of such Purchased Securities,
 – 31 –

which the remaining Underwriters wish, but are not obliged, to purchase exceeds
the amount of such Purchased Securities, which remain available for purchase,
such Purchased Securities, shall be divided pro rata among the Underwriters
desiring to purchase such Purchased Securities, in proportion to the percentage of
Purchased Securities, which such Underwriters have agreed to purchase as set
forth in the Schedule.

(d) Right of Corporation to Terminate

Nothing in this paragraph shall oblige the Corporation to sell to the Underwriters
less than all of the Purchased Securities.

15. Concurrent Offerings

Until the date which is 90 days after the Closing Date, neither the Corporation nor any of its
affiliates will, without the consent of TDSI, whose consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
issue, agree to issue, or announce an intention to issue any additional Purchased Securities or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Purchased Securities, (except in connection
with the exchange, transfer, conversion or exercise rights of existing outstanding securities or
existing commitments to issue securities).

16. Survival of Representations and Warranties

The representations, warranties, obligations and agreements of the Corporation contained in this
Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the
purchase and sale of the Purchased Securities shall survive the purchase of the Purchased
Securities and shall continue in full force and effect unaffected by any subsequent disposition of
the Purchased Securities by the Underwriters or the termination of the Underwriters’ obligations
and shall not be limited or prejudiced by any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Underwriters in connection with the preparation of the Prospectus or the distribution of the
Purchased Securities.

17. Time of the Essence

Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

18. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province
of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable in Ontario.

19. Funds

All funds referred to in this Agreement shall be in Canadian dollars.

“The Notes offered hereby have not been and will not be registered under the 1933 Act or the
securities laws of any state and may not be offered or sold within the United States, or to, or for
the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except that Notes may be offered or sold to Qualified
Institutional Buyers pursuant to Rule 144A.”

“Each U.S. purchaser hereof will, by its purchase of such Notes, be deemed to have represented
and agreed for the benefit of the Corporation as follows:

(i) it is aware that the Notes have not been and will not be registered under
the 1933 Act and the sale contemplated hereby is being made in reliance
on Rule 144A to Qualified Institutional Buyers;

(ii) it is a Qualified Institutional Buyer as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S.
Securities Act and it is acquiring the Notes for its own account or for the
account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer with respect to which it
exercises sole investment discretion and not with a view to any resale,
distribution or other disposition of the Notes in violation of United States
federal or state securities laws;

(iii) it understands that the Notes are “restricted securities” within the meaning
of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, and that if it decides to offer, sell or
otherwise transfer such Notes, such Notes may be offered, sold or
otherwise transferred only (A) to the Corporation, (B) outside the United
States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S, (C) inside the United
States in accordance with (x) Rule 144A to a person who the seller
reasonably believes is a Qualified Institutional Buyer that is purchasing for
its own account or for the account of a Qualified Institutional Buyer to
whom notice is given that the offer, sale or transfer is being made in
reliance on Rule 144A or (y) the exemption from registration under the
1933 Act provided by Rule 144, if available; or (D) under an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act; and

(iv) it understands that all Notes sold in the United States as part of this
offering will bear a legend to the following effect:

THE PURCHASED SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN

REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH
PURCHASED SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CORPORATION
THAT SUCH PURCHASED SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE CORPORATION, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED
STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT, (C) INSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN ACCORDANCE WITH (1) RULE
144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT,
IF AVAILABLE, OR (D) UNDER AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT. DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT CONSTITUTE
“GOOD DELIVERY” IN SETTLEMENT OF TRANSACTIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGES
 -2-

IN CANADA. A NEW CERTIFICATE, BEARING NO LEGEND, DELIVERY OF WHICH

WILL CONSTITUTE “GOOD DELIVERY” MAY BE OBTAINED FROM BNY TRUST
COMPANY OF CANADA UPON DELIVERY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND A DULY
EXECUTED DECLARATION, IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO BNY TRUST COMPANY
OF CANADA AND THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE SALE OF THE
PURCHASED SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY IS BEING MADE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT;

provided that, if any such Notes are being sold under clause (iii)(B) above and if the Corporation
is a “foreign issuer” within the meaning of Regulation S at the time of sale, the legend may be
removed by providing a declaration to BNY Trust Company of Canada, as registrar and transfer
agent for the Notes, to the following effect (or as the Corporation may from time to time
prescribe):

The undersigned (A) acknowledges that the sale of the Securities, to which this
declaration relates is being made in reliance on Rule 904 of Regulation S under the
United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and (B) certifies that (1) it is not an
“affiliate” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) of Viterra Inc., (2) the offer of
such Purchased Securities was not made to a person in the United States and either (a) at
the time the buy order was originated, the buyer was outside the United States, or the
seller and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believe that the buyer was outside
the United States, or (b) the transaction was executed on or through the facilities of the
Toronto Stock Exchange and neither the seller nor any person acting on its behalf knows
that the transaction has been prearranged with a buyer in the United States, (3) neither the
seller nor any person acting on its behalf engaged in any directed selling efforts in
connection with the offer and sale of such Purchased Securities, (4) the sale is bona fide
and not for the purpose of ''washing off'' the resale restrictions imposed because the Notes
are ''restricted securities'' (as that term is defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act),
(5) the seller does not intend to replace the Notes sold in reliance on Rule 904 of
Regulation S with fungible unrestricted securities, and (6) the contemplated sale is not a
transaction, or part of a series of transactions which, although in technical compliance
with Regulation S, is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the
1933 Act. Terms used herein have the meanings given to them by Regulation S;

provided, further, that, if any such Purchased Securities are being sold under clause (iii)(C)(y)
above, the legend may be removed by delivery to BNY Trust Company of Canada of an opinion
of counsel, of recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, to the effect that
such legend is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or state
securities laws.”;

(v) it is authorized to consummate the purchase of the Purchased Securities;

(vi) it acknowledges that it has not purchased the Purchased Securities as a

result of any “general solicitation” or “general advertising” (as those terms
are defined in Regulation D under the 1933 Act), including
advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media, or broadcast over radio, television
 -3-

or the internet, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been

invited by general solicitation or general advertising;

(vii) it consents to the Corporation making a notation on its records or giving

instructions to any transfer agent of the Purchased Securities in order to
implement the restrictions on transfer set out and described in paragraph
(iii) above;

(viii) it understands and acknowledges that the Corporation is not obligated to

file and has no present intention of filing with the SEC or with any state
securities administrator any registration statement in respect of resales of
the Purchased Securities in the United States;

(ix) it acknowledges that it has received a copy of the U.S. private placement
memorandum and has been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions
as it deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of
the Corporation concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the
Purchased Securities and to obtain such additional information which the
Corporation possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or
expense that is necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of the
information contained in the U.S. private placement memorandum and
that it considered necessary in connection with its decision to invest in the
Purchased Securities;

(x) it understands and acknowledges that the Corporation (i) is not obligated
to remain a “foreign issuer” within the meaning of Regulation S, (ii) may
not, at the time the Purchased Securities are resold by it or at any other
time, be a foreign issuer, and (iii) may engage in one or more transactions
which could cause the Corporation not to be a foreign issuer; and

(xi) it understands and acknowledges that it is making the representations and

warranties and agreements contained herein with the intent that they may
be relied upon by the Corporation, the Underwriters and each U.S. affiliate
in determining its eligibility or (if applicable) the eligibility of others on
whose behalf it is contracting hereunder to purchase the Purchased
Securities.
