which the Registrant is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs
and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including
an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred
by him or her in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or
proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her being or
having been a director or officer of the Registrant or such other corporation
if the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the
best interests of the Registrant and, in the case of a criminal or
administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, had
reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. Such
indemnification may be made in connection with an action by or on behalf of the
Registrant or such other corporation only with court approval. A director is
entitled to indemnification from the Registrant as a matter of right if he or
she was substantially successful on the merits of his or her defence and
fulfilled the conditions set forth above.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In accordance with provisions of the <I>Business Corporations Act </I>(Ontario)

determines to purchase at such price shall be purchased as nearly as may be pro
rata (disregarding fractions) in proportion to the number of Second Preferred
Shares of such series so tendered by each of the holders of Second Preferred
Shares of such series who submitted tenders at the said same lowest price.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">8. Subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to
the Second Preferred Shares of any series, the Amalgamated Corporation may upon
giving notice as hereinafter provided redeem at any time the whole or from time
to time any part of the then outstanding Second Preferred Shares of any series
on payment for each share to be redeemed of a sum equivalent to the result
obtained when the stated capital account for the Second Preferred Shares of
such series is divided by the number of issued and outstanding Second Preferred
Shares of such series together with such premium (if any) as the directors may
determine or may have determined by the resolution provided for in clause 2
determining the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to
the Second Preferred Shares of such series and as may be the subject matter of
a certificate as referred to in the said clause 2 and together with all
declared and unpaid dividends (if any) thereon up to the date fixed for
redemption.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">9. In any case of redemption of Second Preferred Shares of any series under the
provisions of clause 8 the Amalgamated Corporation shall at least thirty (30)
days before the date specified for redemption mail to each person who at the
date of mailing is a registered holder of Second Preferred Shares of such
series to be redeemed a notice in writing of the intention of the Amalgamated
Corporation to redeem such last-mentioned shares. Such notice shall be mailed
in an envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to each such shareholder at his
address as it appears on the books of the Amalgamated Corporation or in the
event of the address of any such shareholder not so appearing then to the last
known address of such shareholder; provided, however, the accidental failure or
omission to give any such notice to one (1)&nbsp;or more of such shareholders shall
not affect the validity of such redemption. Such notice shall set out the
redemption price and the date on which redemption is to take place and if part
only of the Second Preferred Shares of such series held by the person to whom
it is addressed is to be redeemed the number thereof so to be redeemed. On or
after the date so specified for redemption the Amalgamated Corporation shall
payor cause to be paid to or to the order of the registered holders of the
Second Preferred Shares of such series to be redeemed the redemption price
thereof on presentation and surrender, at the registered office of the
Amalgamated Corporation or any other place within Canada designated in such
notice, of the certificates representing the Second Preferred Shares of such
series so called for redemption. Such payment shall be made by cheques payable
at par at any branch of the Amalgamated Corporation&#146;s bankers for the time
being in Canada. If a part only of the Second Preferred Shares of such series
represented by any certificate shall be redeemed, a new certificate for the
balance shall be issued at the expense of the Amalgamated Corporation. On the
date fixed for redemption the Second Preferred Shares of such series to be
redeemed are thereupon redeemed and cancelled as of the date so fixed for
redemption and the holders thereof thereafter have no rights whatsoever against
the Amalgamated Corporation in respect of the Second Preferred Shares in
question except to receive, upon presentation of certificates representing the
Second Preferred Shares of such series to be redeemed, payment of the
redemption price therefor without interest.

not be entitled as such (except as hereinafter and in the Act specifically

as may be appointed by the chairman and not less than twenty-one (21)&nbsp;days&#146;
notice shall be given of such adjourned meeting but it shall not be necessary
in such notice to specify the purpose for which the meeting was originally
called. At such adjourned meeting the holders of Second Preferred Shares
present or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting
was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by not less than
two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast at such adjourned meeting shall constitute
the authorization of the holders of the Second Preferred Shares referred to
above. The formalities to be observed in respect of the giving of notice of any
such meeting or adjourned meeting and the conduct thereof shall be those from
time to time prescribed by the by-laws of the Amalgamated Corporation with

communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously, and a director
participating in a meeting by such means shall be deemed for the purposes of
the Act to be present at that meeting. If the majority of the directors

time and place of the adjourned meeting is announced at the original meeting.
Any adjourned meeting shall be duly constituted if held in accordance with the
terms of the adjournment and a quorum is present thereat. The directors who
formed a quorum at the original meeting are not required to form the quorum at
the adjourned meeting. If there is no quorum present at the adjourned meeting,
the original meeting shall be deemed to have terminated forthwith after its
adjournment.
