IA CLARINGTON INVESTMENTS INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN – DECLARATION OF TRUST
Industrial Alliance Trust Inc. (the “Trustee”), is a trust company incorporated under the laws of Canada with its head office located at 1080 Grand Allée West, Quebec, Quebec G1K 7M3. You are the applicant
and annuitant as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and named in the IA Clarington Investment Application (the “Application”) attached to this declaration. If you have selected an RSP, Locked-in RSP,
LIRA or RLSP as a type of account on your Application, the Trustee will act as trustee of a IA Clarington Investments Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (“your Plan”) for you on the following terms and conditions.
1. Acceptance and Registration: If the Trustee agrees to act as trustee of your Plan, the Trustee will apply to register your Plan under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) as a registered
retirement savings plan (“RRSP”). You will be bound by the terms and conditions imposed on your Plan by all applicable legislation. If the Trustee declines to act as trustee, you or your agent will
be notified in writing and any amounts received by the Trustee as contributions will be returned to you or your agent.
2. Purpose: The Trustee will hold contributions accepted by it for your Plan, investments made with those contributions and any income and capital gains realized in respect of those investments
in trust for the purpose of providing you with a retirement income in accordance with the Tax Act.
3. Contributions to your Plan: You or, where applicable, your spouse may make contributions to your Plan from time to time in cash or securities which are acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion.
The Trustee will also accept contributions by way of a transfer to your Plan from any source permitted by the Tax Act. No contributions or transfers will be accepted after December 31 of the year in which
you reach the age specified in subparagraph 146(2)(b.4) of the Tax Act. The Trustee may accept or for any reason refuse to accept all or any portion of a contribution of cash or securities to your Plan.
4. Investments: Contributions to your Plan will be invested (and reinvested from time to time) in the investments selected by you in writing from time to time. In making your investment selection,
you may select units of mutual funds managed by IA Clarington Investments Inc. or other investments acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion. In making investments for your Plan, the Trustee
will not be limited to investments authorized by legislation governing the investment of property held in trust. All investments shall be qualified investments for registered retirement savings plans
within the meaning of the Tax Act and comply with the laws applicable to trusts subject to retirement savings plans. The Trustee will not provide any investment advice regarding the
purchase, retention or sale of any investment by your Plan and will not be held responsible for advice that you may have received from another party. Cash distributions received
on investments held in your Plan will be invested in additional investments of the same type unless you instruct otherwise. In the absence of satisfactory investment instructions, the Trustee will
invest cash in units of IA Clarington Money Market Fund.
5. Ownership and Voting Rights: The investments of your Plan will be held in the name of the Trustee or any other name the Trustee may determine. The Trustee is entitled to exercise in its sole
discretion, the rights, powers and privileges that could otherwise be exercised by the beneficial owner of the investments of your Plan.
6. Your Responsibility: You are responsible for (a) selecting investments for your Plan and assessing the merits of those investments or for obtaining investment advice; (b) ensuring that the investments
held in your Plan are qualified investments for your Plan under the Tax Act. The Trustee is not responsible for any of these matters or for any investment or tax advice that you may receive from your advisors.
7. Withdrawals and Refunds: Following the receipt of written instructions in a form acceptable to the Trustee, a payment or a reimbursement of premiums will be made from your Plan to: (a) you
or your spouse, as applicable, to reduce taxes otherwise payable under Part X.1 of the Tax Act on over-contributions to RRSPs; or (b) you. The Trustee is not responsible for determining the amount of
any payment made to reduce taxes otherwise payable under Part X.1 of the Tax Act. In the absence of satisfactory instructions, the Trustee may transfer or realize any investment of your Plan selected
by it, in its sole discretion, for the purpose of making the payment and will not be liable for any resulting loss. Payments will be made net of all proper charges including tax required to be withheld.
8. Transfers from your Plan: Following the receipt of your written instructions in a form acceptable to the Trustee, all or part of the assets of your Plan will be transferred (less all proper charges) to
the issuer of a registered pension plan, an RRSP or a registered retirement income fund (“RRIF”), as instructed by you in the notice. The Trustee will sell or transfer specific investments of your Plan to
effect the transfer if instructed by you in writing. In the absence of satisfactory written instructions, the Trustee may sell or transfer any investments of your Plan selected by it in its sole discretion to
effect the transfer and will not be liable for any resulting loss. The transfer of assets will be made subject to any restrictions under the Tax Act or the terms and conditions of the investments of your Plan.
9. Maturity: At any time before December 31 of the year in which you reach the age specified by the Tax Act, you may provide at least 90 days’ written notice to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to
Investment Application Form | October 2019 8
either: (a) liquidate the assets of your Plan and to use the proceeds (net of any applicable costs and charges) to acquire a life annuity selected by you from a company identified by you in the written notice;
or (b) transfer the assets of your Plan to a RRIF identified by you in the written notice. If the Trustee has not received your written instructions by October 31 of the year in which you reach the age specified
by the Tax Act, the Trustee will transfer the assets of your Plan to a IA Clarington Investments Inc. RRIF or another RRIF selected by the Trustee in its sole discretion. You hereby appoint the Trustee as your
attorney to execute documents and make elections necessary to establish the RRIF. However, if the issuer of the RRIF does not accept the transfer, the assets of your Plan will be paid or transferred to you.
10. Annuity: An annuity purchased with the assets of your Plan must conform to the requirements of the Tax Act which, among other things, requires the annuity to provide equal annual or more frequent periodic
payments to you, or to you until your death and then to your spouse, until there is a payment in full or partial commutation of the annuity and where the commutation is partial, equal annual or more frequent
periodic payments afterwards except for adjustments permitted by the Tax Act. Payments may not exceed a term of years equal to 90 minus either your age (in whole years) or, if your spouse is younger than you,
your spouse’s age (in whole years) at the time the annuity is purchased. Payments to your spouse in any year after your death may not be greater than payments made in a year before your death. If the annuity
becomes payable to a person other than you or your spouse, the value of payments must be commuted. Your Plan does not provide benefit payment after the maturity date of the Plan, except as retirement income
to the annuitant benefits to the annuitant, in full or partial commutation of retirement income under the Plan or as part of the conversion an annuity that would become payable to a person other than yourself.
11. Beneficiary Designation: If you are domiciled in a jurisdiction which by law permits you to validly designate a beneficiary other than by Will, you may designate a beneficiary to receive the
proceeds of your Plan in the event of your death before the maturity of your Plan. You may make, change or revoke your designation by written notice signed by you in a form acceptable to, and
received by, the Trustee prior to your death. Any designation, amended designation or revoked designation will be valid on the day following its receipt by the Trustee.
12. Death: Upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of your death, the Trustee will hold the assets of your Plan for payment in a lump sum to your designated beneficiary if that person was living on
the date of your death. If you have not designated a beneficiary or if your designated beneficiary predeceases you, the payment will be made to your legal representatives. The payment will be
made subject to the deduction of all proper charges, including income tax required to be withheld, after the Trustee receives the releases and other documents that it requires in its sole discretion.
13. Prohibition: No advantage that is conditional in any way on the existence of your Plan may be extended to you or a person with whom you do not deal at arm’s length. Retirement income under
your Plan can’t be assigned in whole or in part. The Trustee will not make any payments from your Plan except those specifically permitted under the provisions of this declaration or the Tax Act.
14. Date of Birth and Social Insurance Number: The statement of your and if applicable, your spouse’s birth date and social insurance number in the Application is deemed to be a certification
of its truth on which the Trustee may rely and your undertaking to provide proof if requested by the Trustee.
15. Your Account: The Trustee will maintain an account of your Plan recording: contributions to your Plan; the name, number and cost of investments purchased and sold by your Plan; distributions
received by your Plan; withdrawals, transfers and expenses paid from your Plan; and the balance of your account. The Trustee will send you a statement of your account at least once a year. Before April of
each year, the Trustee will provide you, or if applicable, your spouse with any contribution receipts pertaining to your Plan and required to be filed with your personal income tax return for the previous year.
16. Fees and Expenses: From time to time, the Trustee may charge you or your Plan fees for its services and expenses. The Trustee is entitled to reimbursement for all disbursements, expenses
and liabilities (including taxes, interest, penalties, brokerage fees, custodial fees, investment advisory fees, administrative fees and similar expenses except for those taxes, interest and penalties
that the Trustee is liable for under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and that can’t be paid out of the property of the Plan) reasonably incurred by the Trustee in connection with your Plan. You hereby
authorize the Trustee to deduct its unpaid fees, disbursements and expenses from the assets of your Plan and for this purpose authorize the Trustee to realize sufficient assets of your Plan selected
in its sole discretion for payment and the Trustee will not be liable for any resulting loss. If your Plan becomes liable for tax, interest or penalties under the Tax Act or similar provincial legislation,
the Trustee will realize sufficient investments of your Plan, selected in its sole discretion, to pay the liability and the Trustee will not be liable for any resulting loss.
17. Delegation of Duties: Without detracting in any way from the responsibility of the Trustee, the Trustee may appoint agents including, but not limited to, IA Clarington Investments Inc., and
may delegate to its agents the performance of clerical, administrative and other duties under this declaration. The Trustee may employ or engage accountants, brokers, lawyers or others and may
rely on their advice and services. The Trustee will not be liable for the acts or omissions of any of its advisors or agents. The Trustee may pay to any advisor or agent all or part of the fees received
by it under the terms of this declaration. Notwithstanding any other provision in this declaration, the Trustee acknowledges that it is ultimately responsible for the administration of your Plan.
18. Liability of the Trustee: None of the Trustee, its officers, employees or agents will be liable for any loss suffered or for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed under the Tax Act (except for those
taxes, interest and penalties that the Trustee is liable for under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and that can’t be paid out of the property of the Plan) as a result of holding or dealing with the assets of
your Plan in accordance with instructions which it believes in good faith to have been given by you or dealing with the assets of your Plan in accordance with the provisions of this declaration. You,
your personal representatives and each beneficiary under your Plan will at all times indemnify and save harmless the Trustee and its agents from all taxes, assessments, expense, liability, claims and
demands arising out of the purchase, sale or retention of assets of your Plan or anything done in connection with your Plan, other than as the result of their gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The
Trustee will not be liable for any loss or penalty suffered as a result of any act done by it in reasonable reliance of your authority or the authority of your properly authorized agent or legal representatives.
19. Successor Trustee: The Trustee may resign and be discharged from all duties and liabilities under this declaration by giving you 30 days’ written notice. IA Clarington Investments Inc. is nominated
to appoint a successor trustee. Upon acceptance of the office of trustee of your Plan, the successor trustee will be trustee of your Plan for all purposes as if it had been the original declarant of your Plan.
20. Amendments: From time to time, the Trustee may amend this declaration with the approval of the Minister of National Revenue provided that the amendment does not disqualify your Plan
as an RRSP under the Tax Act. Any amendment to ensure that your Plan continues to comply with the Tax Act will be effective without notice provided that, in the Trustee’s sole opinion, such
amendment does not adversely affect your rights under your plan. Any other amendment will be effective not less than thirty (30) days after written notice has been provided to you.
21. Notice: Any notice required or permitted to be given to you by or on behalf of the Trustee will be sufficiently given if mailed, postage prepaid, to you at your address as reflected in the
Application or any subsequent address that you have provided to the Trustee in writing for that purpose. Notice will be deemed to have been received by you on the day of mailing.

addendum to this declaration. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the applicable LIRA addendum and the terms of this declaration, the terms of the LIRA addendum will apply.

LIF or LRIF as a type of account on your Application, the Trustee will act as trustee of a IA Clarington Investments Inc. Retirement Income Fund (“your Plan”) for you on the following terms and conditions.
1. Acceptance and Registration: If the Trustee agrees to act as trustee of your Plan, the Trustee will apply to register your Plan under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”) as a registered
retirement income fund (“RRIF”). You will be bound by the terms and conditions imposed on your Plan by all applicable legislation. If the Trustee declines to act as trustee, you or your agent will be
notified in writing and any amounts received by the Trustee as contributions will be returned to you or your agent.
2. Purpose: The Trustee will hold transfers accepted by it for your Plan, investments made with those contributions and any income and capital gains realized in respect of those investments in
trust for the purpose of providing you with a retirement income in accordance with the Tax Act.
3. Transfers to your Plan: The Trustee will accept transfers of cash or securities (acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion) to your Plan from property specified in subparagraph 146.3(2)(f)
of the Tax Act. The Trustee may accept or for any reason refuse to accept all or any portion of a transfer of cash or securities to your Plan.
4. Investments: Property transferred to your Plan will be invested (and reinvested from time to time) in the investments selected by you in writing from time to time. In making your investment
selection, you may select units of mutual funds managed by IA Clarington Investments Inc. or other investments acceptable to the Trustee in its sole discretion. In making investments for your Plan,
the Trustee will not be limited to investments authorized by legislation governing the investment of property held in trust. All investments shall be qualified investments for registered retirement

5. Ownership and Voting Rights: The investments of your Plan will be held in the name of the Trustee or any other name the Trustee may determine. The Trustee is entitled to exercise in its sole
discretion, the rights, powers and privileges that could otherwise be exercised by the beneficial owner of the investments of your Plan.
6. Your Responsibility: You are responsible for (a) selecting investments for your Plan and assessing the merits of those investments or for obtaining investment advice; (b) ensuring that transfers
to your Plan are permitted by the Tax Act; (c) ensuring that the investments held in your Plan are Qualified Investments for your Plan under the Tax Act and (d) ensuring that any annuity purchased
with assets of your Plan complies with the Tax Act. The Trustee is not responsible for any investment or tax advice that you may receive from your advisors.
7. Retirement Income: The assets of your Plan will be used to provide you with an income that will begin on or before December 31 of the second calendar year of your Plan. In each calendar year,
the total amount of payments to you from your Plan may not be less than the minimum amount (the “Minimum Amount”) required to be paid under the Tax Act. The amount of any payment from your
Plan may not exceed the value of the property of your Plan immediately before the time of the payment. You may specify in writing in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, the amount and frequency
of the payments to be made during any year. The amount of payments may vary from year to year. You may change the amount and frequency of the payments or request additional payments by
instructing the Trustee in writing in a form satisfactory to the Trustee. If you do not specify the amount and frequency of payments to be made in a year or the amount that you specify is less than
the Minimum Amount for a year, the Trustee will make a payment or payments as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to ensure that the Minimum Amount for that year is paid to you. In the
absence of satisfactory instructions, the Trustee may transfer or realize any investment of your Plan selected by it, in its sole discretion, for the purpose of making a payment to you and will not be
liable for any resulting loss. Payments will be made net of all proper charges including tax required to be withheld. The Trustee may impose any other reasonable requirements and conditions in
respect of the foregoing. A payment to you will be deemed to have been made when: (a) a cheque payable to you is mailed in a postage pre-paid envelope addressed to you at the address indicated
on the Application or subsequently provided by you to the Trustee in writing; or (b) an amount is electronically transferred to the credit of a bank account designated by you in writing. The Trustee
can not make other payments than those provided for in paragraphs 146.3 (2) (d), 146.3 (2) (e) and 146.3 (14) of the Tax Act and retirement income according to paragraph 146.3 (2) (a) of the Tax Act.
8. Calculation of the Minimum Amount: The Minimum Amount will be zero in the first calendar year of your Plan and for each subsequent year will be calculated according to the provisions of
the Tax Act. You may elect to base the Minimum Amount on your age or your spouse’s age. This election is binding and cannot be changed, revoked or amended under any circumstances.
9. Transfers from your Plan: Following the receipt of your written instructions in a form acceptable to the Trustee, all or part of the assets of your Plan will be transferred (less all proper charges and
any amount that the Trustee is required by the Tax Act to retain to ensure the payment of the Minimum Amount) to the issuer of an RRSP, RRIF or life annuity that conforms with the Tax Act, as instructed
by you in the notice. No assets of your Plan will be transferred to an RRSP after December 31 of the year you reach age 71 (or another age specified by the Tax Act). The Trustee will provide the issuer
of the recipient plan with all relevant information in its possession. The Trustee will sell or transfer specific investments of your Plan to effect the transfer if instructed by you in writing. In the absence
of satisfactory written instructions, the Trustee may sell or transfer any investments of your Plan selected by it in its sole discretion to effect the transfer and will not be liable for any resulting loss. The
transfer of assets will be made subject to any restrictions according to the paragraphs 146.3 (2) (e), 146.3 (2) (e.1) and 146.3 (2) (e.2) of the Tax Act or the terms and conditions of the investments of your Plan.
10. Beneficiary Designation: If you are domiciled in a jurisdiction which by law permits you to validly designate a beneficiary other than by Will, you may designate (a) your spouse as successor
annuitant of your Plan; or (b) a beneficiary to receive the proceeds of your Plan in the event of your death. You may make, change or revoke your designation by written notice signed by you in a
form acceptable to, and received by, the Trustee prior to your death. Any designation, amended designation or revoked designation will be valid on the day following its receipt by the Trustee.
11. Death: Upon receipt of satisfactory evidence of your death, the Trustee will continue payments to your spouse provided he or she is the successor annuitant of your Plan. If your spouse becomes
the successor annuitant of your Plan, he or she will be deemed to be the annuitant of your Plan with the same rights as if he or she had been the original annuitant. If your spouse is not the successor
annuitant, the Trustee will hold the assets of your Plan for payment in a lump sum to your designated beneficiary if that person was living on the date of your death. If you have not designated a
beneficiary or if your designated beneficiary predeceases you, the payment will be made to your legal representatives. The payment will be made subject to the deduction of all proper charges,
including income tax required to be withheld, after the Trustee receives the releases and other documents that it requires in its sole discretion.
12. Prohibition: No benefit or loan that is conditional in any way on the existence of your Plan may be extended to you or a person with whom you do not deal at arm’s length. Payments under
your Plan may not be assigned in whole or in part. The Trustee will not make any payments from your Plan except those specifically permitted under the provisions of this declaration or the Tax Act.
13. Date of Birth and Social Insurance Number: The statement of your and if applicable, your spouse’s birth date and social insurance number in the Application is deemed to be a certification

received by your Plan; withdrawals, transfers and expenses paid from your Plan; the balance of your account; and the maximum and minimum amounts that may be paid from your Plan. The Trustee

to be filed with your personal income tax return for the previous year.
