In that event, the shareholders may elect, or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill the resulting vacancy.

Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from the Dividend Commencement Date. Such dividends shall be payable on the Dividend Payment Dates to shareholders of record on the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter end date. The rate of any dividend declared and paid for a portion of a Calendar Quarter shall be prorated accordingly.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and in lieu of the annual dividend rates set forth above, commencing on January 1, 2020, for each Class A Preferred Share held by a holder of Class A Preferred Shares, such holder shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay, preferential cumulative dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of the assets of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends, at an annual rate of 15% on the sum of the Principal Redemption Price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 27.2(2)(a), commencing on January 1, 2020, the Company shall only be required to make dividend payments as and when required by Section 27.2(2)(k), if so declared by the Board of Directors, out of assets of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends. Any accrued and unpaid dividends in excess of the amount of the dividend payments made pursuant to Section 27.2(2)(k) will remain outstanding and will be payable as set forth in Section 27.2(2)(j) (or Section 27.2(2)(h) at the Company's discretion).

| (b) | If on any Dividend Payment Date the dividend payable on such date is not declared and paid in full on all of the Class A Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding, such dividend or the unpaid part thereof shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Company shall have sufficient monies properly applicable to the payment of the same. When any such dividend is not paid in full, the Class A Preferred Shares shall participate rateably with all other preferred shares, if any, which rank on a parity with the Class A Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends, in respect of such dividends including accumulations, if any, in accordance with the sums which would be payable on the Class A Preferred Shares and such other shares if all such dividends were declared and paid in full in accordance with their terms. The holders of Class A Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends other than or in excess of the dividends hereinbefore provided for.

- 37 -

111491155 v1

| (c) | Intentionally Omitted.

| (d) | Dividends (less any tax required to be withheld by the Company) on the Class A Preferred Shares shall be paid by electronic funds transfer or by cheque payable in lawful money of Canada, at any branch in Canada of the Company’s bankers. The mailing of such cheque from the Company’s head office on or before the date on which such dividend is to be paid to a holder of Class A Preferred Shares shall be deemed to be payment of the dividends represented thereby and payable on such date unless the cheque is not paid upon presentation.

| (e) | Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 27.2(2)(a) but subject to Section 27.2(2)(h), at all times prior to January 1, 2011 the Company shall declare and pay a dividend on the Class A Preferred Shares in respect of a Calendar Quarter ending in a particular fiscal year of the Company only to the extent that the Company would not be liable to pay tax under Part VI.I of the Tax Act in respect of such dividend other than tax that would be fully recovered by means of the deduction under paragraph 110(1)(k) of the Tax Act for that fiscal year. On each Dividend Payment Date, the Company shall estimate the amount of its taxable income for the fiscal year which includes such Dividend Payment Date and shall compute the amount of the dividend which it is obliged to declare and pay accordingly. Once the actual amount of taxable income for such fiscal year is established by means of the filing of the relevant tax return, or if a previous estimate thereof has been revised by a subsequent estimate thereof made by the Company, such adjustment as is appropriate to achieve the result expressed herein shall be made to the amount of the dividend required to be declared and paid on the next Dividend Payment Date, whether that date falls within the same or a subsequent fiscal year. The Company shall deliver to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares, on such Dividend Payment Date, a calculation in writing showing the amount of the Company’s taxable income for its fiscal year that includes that Dividend Payment Date as so estimated or as finally determined by the Company, as well as the dividend that such holders are entitled to receive on that Dividend Payment Date having regard to such estimated or actual taxable income, as the case may be.

If the Company does not declare and pay dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares as a consequence of the provisions of this Section 27.2(2)(e), dividends shall continue to accrue at the rate or rates provided in these share conditions and the amount of all such dividends accrued prior to January 1, 2011 which remain unpaid, shall be adjusted upward by a multiplicative factor equal to 1.0245 raised to an exponent equal to the number of Calendar Quarters, including decimal fractions thereof based on 91 days per Calendar Quarter, between the 10th day following the Calendar Quarter in which the unpaid dividend originally accrued and January 1, 2011, assuming for these calculations that the Class A Preferred Shares were issued on July 31, 2000 and that the Company paid $125,000 in dividends per Calendar Quarter from the notional issue date until the Calendar Quarter ended December 31, 2003. By way of illustration, for greater certainty, if the Board of Directors determines to declare and pay on November 25, 2005, a dividend which originally accrued in respect of the Calendar Quarter ending September 30, 2000, then the dividend which originally accrued would be multiplied by 1.643 (i.e. 1.0245 to the exponent 20.51) to determine the adjusted amount of the dividend to be declared. Any dividends declared and paid on the Class A Preferred Shares, shall always be in respect of the earliest Calendar Quarter for which the original accrued dividend, or any part thereof, remains unpaid. The Company shall maintain in its books of account at the end of each Calendar Quarter a record of the adjusted amount of each accrued and unpaid dividend, calculated on the basis of the amount that would be payable as of the 10th business day following the Calendar Quarter, and the aggregate adjusted amount of all such accrued and unpaid dividends.

- 38 -

111491155 v1

| (f) | The Company shall take into account the amount of any dividend allowance available to it under subsection 191.1(2) of the Tax Act in determining the amount of the dividend which it is required to declare and pay under Section 27.2(2)(e) and, in the event the Company is or becomes “associated” for purposes of the Tax Act with any other corporation prior to January 1, 2011, no portion of the said dividend allowance shall be allocated to such associated corporation under Subsection 191.1(3) of the Tax Act.

| (g) | The Company shall have full flexibility in planning its tax affairs so as to reduce its taxable income for a particular fiscal year as it sees fit, including the claiming of all discretionary deductions, notwithstanding that this will have the effect of reducing the amount of the dividends to actually be declared and paid to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares in that fiscal year, by virtue of the operation of Section 27.2(2)(e).

| (h) | Notwithstanding Section 27.2(2)(e), the Company may, in its sole discretion, on any Dividend Payment Date, declare and pay dividends, up to the amount of the then accrued and unpaid dividends, without regard to the limitation imposed under Section 27.2(2)(e).

| (i) | Intentionally omitted.

| (j) | On December 31, 2021, the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares plus the Principal Redemption Price for each Class A Preferred Share (collectively, the “December 2021 Payment”), shall be paid to the holder of the Class A Preferred Shares by the Company in accordance with Section 27.2(2)(d). Upon the payment of the December 2021 Payment (whether made on or before December 31, 2021), the Company will have no further obligations to holders of the Class A Preferred Shares.

| (k) | On the last day of each Calendar Quarter starting on March 31, 2011 and ending on the date that the December 2021 Payment is made, the Company shall make (i) to the extent the Principal Redemption Price for each Class A Preferred Share has not been paid in full, a return of capital payment to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares in an aggregate amount equal to $187,500, and (ii) to the extent there are accrued and unpaid dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares, a dividend payment to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares in an aggregate amount equal to $125,000.

| (l) | Intentionally omitted.

| (m) | Notwithstanding Section 27.2(2)(k), the Company may, in its sole discretion, make any return of capital payment referred to in such sections to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares before the date such return of capital payment is due.

(3) | LIQUIDATION

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other Distribution, the holders of Class A Preferred Shares, shall be entitled to receive the Principal Redemption Price of such shares together with an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, which amounts shall be calculated as if such dividends were accruing for the period from the expiration of the last Calendar Quarter for which the dividends thereon have been paid in full up to the date of such event, the whole before any amount shall be paid or any property or assets of the Company shall be distributed to the holders of the common shares of the Company or to the holders of any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the Class A Preferred Shares in any respect. If such amounts are not paid in full, the Class A Preferred Shares shall participate rateably with all preferred shares and all other shares, if any, which rank on a parity with the preferred shares with respect to the

- 39 -

111491155 v1

return of capital or any other distribution of the assets of the Company, in respect of any return of capital in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such preferred shares and such other shares on such return of capital, if all sums so payable were paid in full in accordance with their terms. After payment to the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares of the amounts so payable to them they shall not be entitled to share in any other distribution of the property or assets of the Company.

| (v) | set aside any money or make any payments for any sinking fund or other retirement fund applicable to any shares of the Company ranking junior to the Class A Preferred Shares;

unless all dividends up to, and including, the Dividend Payment Date for the last completed Calendar Quarter for which dividends shall be payable shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment in respect of the Class A Preferred Shares and all other shares ranking on a parity with or in priority to the Class A Preferred Shares.

| (b) | Nothing in Section 27.2(7)(a) shall apply to, hinder or prevent, and authorization is hereby given for, any of the actions referred to in such Section if consented to, or approved, by the holders of the Class A Preferred Shares in the manner hereinafter specified.

(2) | Dividends

The holders of the Class B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive and the Company shall pay thereon, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Company out of the moneys of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends, such dividends as the board of directors of the Company may from time to time declare, in their absolute discretion, but always subordinate to the payment of dividends on the Class A Preferred Shares and in preference and priority to any payment of dividends on the Common Shares.

(3) | Redemption

Before redeeming any Class B Preferred Shares, the Company shall notify each registered holder of shares to be redeemed. In case a part only of the outstanding Class B Preferred Shares is at any time to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected, at the option of the directors, either by lot in such manner as the directors in their sole discretion shall determine or as nearly as may be pro‑rata (disregarding fractions) according to the number of Class B Preferred Shares held by each holder.

111491155 v1

(4) | Retraction

| (a) | Subject to paragraph Section 27.3(4)(b) below, a holder of Class B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to require the Company to redeem at any time and from time to time after the date of issue of any Class B Preferred Shares, upon giving notice as hereinafter provided, all or any number of the Class B Preferred Shares registered in the name of such holder on the books of the Company at the Redemption Price. A holder of Class B Preferred Shares exercising his option to have the Company redeem shall give notice to the Company, which notice shall set out the date on which the Company is to redeem, which date shall not be less than 3 days nor more than 10 days from the date of mailing of the notice, and if the holder desires to have less than all of the Class B Preferred Shares registered in his name redeemed by the Company, the number of the holder's shares to be redeemed.

| (b) | If the redemption by the Company on any option redemption date of all of the Class B Preferred Shares to be redeemed on such date would be contrary to any provisions of the BCA or any other applicable law, the Company shall be obligated to redeem only the maximum number of Class B Preferred Shares which the Company determines it is then permitted to redeem, such redemptions to be made pro‑rata (disregarding fractions of shares) according to the number of Class B Preferred Shares required by each such holder to be redeemed by the Company and the Company shall issue new certificates representing the Class B Preferred Shares not redeemed by the Company; the Company shall, before redeeming any other Class B Preferred Shares, redeem in the manner contemplated by Section 27.3(3) on the 1st day of each month thereafter the maximum number of such Class B Preferred Shares as would not then be contrary to any provisions of the BCA or any other applicable law, until all of such shares have been redeemed, provided that the Company shall be under no obligation to give any notice to the holders of the Class B Preferred Shares in respect of such redemption or redemptions as provided for in Section 27.3(3).

(5) | Price Adjustment

In the case of Class B Preferred Shares issued by the Company for consideration other than cash, the Redemption Amount will be subject to a proportionate increase or decrease so that the aggregate Redemption Amount of the Class B Preferred Shares issued in consideration for the purchase of property (referred to in this section as the “Acquired Property”) equals the fair market value of the Acquired Property received by the Company, less the fair market value of any non-share consideration paid by the Company in consideration for such Acquired Property. In the event that the Canada Revenue Agency, any successor agency, or any other competent taxing authority, should make or propose to make an assessment or re-assessment of income tax or any other tax on the basis that the fair market value of the Acquired Property (less the fair market value of any non-share consideration paid by the Company in consideration for such Acquired Property) differs from the said aggregate Redemption Amount, the Redemption Amount of each such Class B Preferred Share shall be increased or decreased to an amount such that the aggregate Redemption Amount thereof equals the fair market value of the Acquired Property (less the fair market value of any non-share consideration paid by the
