Dividends and Distributions.
(a)
Dividends and Distributions. A holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to receive and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Dividend Declaration Date, declare a dividend or distribution on each Exchangeable Share:
(i)
in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares, in an amount in cash for each Exchangeable Share equal to the Canadian Dollar Equivalent of the cash dividend or distribution declared on each Parent Share on the Parent Dividend Declaration Date;
(ii)
in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares to be paid in Parent Shares, by the issue or transfer by the Company of such number of Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share as is equal to the number of Parent Shares to be paid on each Parent Share; provided, however, that the Company may, in lieu of such stock dividend, elect to effect a contemporaneous and economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section ) subdivision of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares; or
(iii)
in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares in property other than cash or Parent Shares, in such type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section ) to the type and amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on each Parent Share.
Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends or other distributions, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Company, as applicable. The holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions other than or in excess of the dividends and distributions referred to in this Section .
(b)
Payments of Dividends and Distributions. Cheques of the Company payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Company shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section and the sending of such cheque to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the cheque is not paid on presentation. Written evidence of the book entry issuance or transfer to the registered holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be delivered in respect of any stock dividends or distributions contemplated by Section and the sending of such written evidence to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section shall be issued, distributed or transferred by the Company in such manner as it shall determine and the issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Company to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. Subject to the requirements of applicable law with respect to unclaimed property, no holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Company any dividend or distribution that is represented by a cheque that has not been duly presented to the Company's bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which such dividend was payable.
(c)
Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares. The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive Exchangeable Shares in connection with any subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares under Section and the effective date of such subdivision shall be the same dates as the record and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Shares.
(d)
Partial Payment. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Company shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such dividends or distributions.
(e)
Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion (with the assistance of such financial or other advisors as the Board of Directors may determine), "economic equivalence" for the purposes of the Exchangeable Share Provisions and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and its shareholders. In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors to be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors:
(i)
in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Shares previously outstanding;
(ii)
in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant, the Current Market Price of a Parent Share, the volatility of the Parent Shares and the terms of any such instrument;
(iii)
in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including any shares or securities of the Parent of any class other than Parent Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section , any evidences of indebtedness of the Parent or any assets of the Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Share and the Current Market Price of a Parent Share;
(iv)
in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a greater number of Parent Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Shares into a lesser number of Parent Shares or any amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting the Parent Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares; and
(v)
in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing withholding taxes and marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).
3.
Certain Restrictions.
So long as any of the Exchangeable Shares are outstanding (other than as may be held by the Parent or its subsidiaries), the Company shall not at any time without, but may at any time with, the approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given as specified in Section ):

(c)
redeem or purchase or make any capital distribution in respect of any other shares of the Company ranking equally with the Exchangeable Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs;
(d)
issue any Exchangeable Shares or any other shares of the Company ranking equally with the Exchangeable Shares other, in each case, than by way of stock dividends to the holders of such Exchangeable Shares; or
(e)
issue any shares of the Company ranking superior to the Exchangeable Shares,
(f)
provided, however, that the restrictions in Sections , , and shall not apply if all dividends or distributions on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares corresponding to dividends or distributions declared and paid to date on the Parent Shares shall have been declared and paid in full on the Exchangeable Shares and provided that the proposed redemption, purchase or other capital distribution does not impair the Company's ability to redeem all of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares.
4.
Liquidation.
(a)
Liquidation Amount. Subject to applicable laws and the due exercise by the Parent or Callco of the Liquidation Call Right, in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, subject to the exercise of the Liquidation Call Right, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive from the assets of the Company in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder on the effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other distribution (the "Liquidation Date"), before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Company among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares with respect to dividends or distributions an amount per share (the "Liquidation Amount") equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Liquidation Date, which price shall be satisfied in full by the Company delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Amount.
(b)
Payment of Liquidation Amount. In the case of a distribution pursuant to Section , and provided that the Liquidation Call Right has not been exercised by the Parent or Callco, on or promptly after the Liquidation Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount for each such Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA(BC) and the constating documents of the Company and such additional documents, instruments and payments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares. Payment of the Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each holder, at the address of such holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by such holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section . On and after the Liquidation Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof (including any rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement) other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount, unless payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of share certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Company shall have the right at any time after the Liquidation Date to transfer or cause to be issued or transferred to, and deposited in a custodial account with, any chartered bank or trust company the Liquidation Amount in respect of the Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the Liquidation Date been surrendered by the holders thereof, such Liquidation Amount to be held by such bank or trust company as trustee for and on behalf of, and for the use and benefit of, such holders. Upon such deposit being made, the rights of a holder of Exchangeable Shares after such deposit shall be limited to receiving its proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, without interest, and all dividends and other distributions with respect to the Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled with a record date after the date of such deposit and before the date of transfer of such Parent Shares to such holder (in each case less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom) against presentation and surrender of the certificates for the Exchangeable Shares held by them in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

Retraction of Exchangeable Shares.
(a)
Retraction at Option of Holder
(i)
Subject to applicable laws and the due exercise by the Parent or Callco of the Retraction Call Right, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time to require the Company to redeem, on the fifth Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Company (the "Retraction Date"), any or all of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (the "Retraction Price"), which price shall be satisfied in full by the Company delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Price. A holder of Exchangeable Shares must give notice of a request to redeem by presenting and surrendering to the Company, at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, the certificate or certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares that such holder desires to have the Company redeem, together with (A) such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA(BC) and the constating documents of the Company and such additional documents, instruments and payments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require and (B) a duly executed request (the ''Retraction Request'') in the form of Appendix I hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Company specifying that such holder desires to have all or any number specified therein of the Exchangeable Shares represented by such certificate or certificates (the "Retracted Shares") redeemed by the Company.
(ii)
In the case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to this Section , upon receipt by the Company or the Transfer Agent in the manner specified in Section of a certificate representing the number of Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Company redeem, together with a duly executed Retraction Request and such additional documents and instruments specified in Section , and provided that (A) the Retraction Request has not been revoked by the holder of such Exchangeable Shares in the manner specified in Section and (B) neither the Parent nor Callco has exercised the Retraction Call Right, the Company shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date. On the Retraction Date, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the Retraction Request or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Price and such delivery of such Exchangeable Share Consideration by or on behalf of the Company by the Transfer Agent shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the Retraction Price to the extent that the same is represented by such Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless any cheque comprising part of such Exchangeable Share Consideration is not paid on due presentation. If only a part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate is redeemed, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the holder at the expense of the Company. On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the total Retraction Price in respect thereof, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the aggregate Retraction Price payable to such holder shall not be made, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such aggregate Retraction Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of such aggregate Retraction Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Company shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Parent Shares delivered to such holder.
(iii)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section , the Company shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request if and to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws. If the Company believes that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on such date, and neither the Parent nor Callco has exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to such Retracted Shares, the Company shall only be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the holder and the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Company. In any case in which the redemption by the Company of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws, the Company shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Company, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section . If the Company would otherwise be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares pursuant to Section but is not obligated to do so as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Company pursuant to Section as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable laws shall be deemed, by delivery of the Retraction Request to have instructed the Transfer Agent to require the Parent or Callco to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by the Parent or Callco to such holder of the total Retraction Price in respect of such Retracted Shares, all as more specifically provided for in the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement.
(iv)
A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Company before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw its Retraction Request, in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to the Parent or Callco shall be deemed to have been revoked.
(v)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section , if:
(A)
exercise of the rights of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, or any of them, to require the Company to redeem any Exchangeable Shares pursuant to this Section on any Retraction Date would require listing particulars or any similar document to be issued in order to obtain the approval of the OTCQB to the listing and trading (subject to official notice of issuance) of the Parent Shares that would be required to be delivered to such holders of Exchangeable Shares in connection with the exercise of such rights; and
(B)
as a result of (A) above, it would not be practicable (notwithstanding the reasonable endeavours of the Parent) to obtain such approvals in time to enable all or any of such Parent Shares to be admitted to listing and trading by the OTCQB (subject to official notice of issuance) when so delivered,
the Retraction Date shall, notwithstanding any other date specified or otherwise deemed to be specified in any relevant Retraction Request, be deemed for all purposes to be the earlier of (x) the second Business Day immediately following the date the approvals referred to in Section are obtained and (y) the date which is 30 Business Days after the date on which the relevant Retraction Request is received by the Company, and references in these Exchangeable Share Provisions to such Retraction Date shall be construed accordingly.
(b)
Retraction Call Rights
(i)
In the event that a holder of Exchangeable Shares delivers a Retraction Request pursuant to Section , and subject to the limitations set forth in Section (including that Callco shall only be entitled to exercise its Retraction Call Right with respect to those holders of Exchangeable Shares, if any, in respect of which the Parent has not exercised its Retraction Call Right), the Parent and Callco shall each have the overriding right (the "Retraction Call Right"), notwithstanding the proposed redemption of the Exchangeable Shares by the Company pursuant to Section , to purchase from such holder on the Retraction Date all but not less than all of the Retracted Shares held by such holder on payment by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of an amount per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (the "Retraction Call Right Purchase Price"), which price shall be satisfied in full by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price. Upon the exercise of the Retraction Call Right in respect of Retracted Shares, the holder of such shares shall be obligated to sell all of such Retracted Shares to the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, on the Retraction Date on payment by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of the total Retraction Call Right Purchase Price in respect of such Retracted Shares as set forth in this Section .
(ii)
Upon receipt by the Company of a Retraction Request, the Company shall immediately notify the Parent and Callco thereof and shall provide the Parent and Callco with a copy of the Retraction Request. Callco shall only be entitled to exercise its Retraction Call Right with respect to those holders of Retracted Shares, if any, in respect of which the Parent has not exercised its Retraction Call Right. In order to exercise its Retraction Call Right, the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, must notify the Company in writing of its determination to do so (a "Retraction Call Notice") within five Business Days after the Company notifies the Parent and Callco of the Retraction Request. If neither the Parent nor Callco so notifies the Company within such five Business Day period, the Company shall notify the holder as soon as possible thereafter that neither the Parent nor Callco will exercise the Retraction Call Right. If one or both of the Parent and Callco delivers a Retraction Call Notice within such five Business Day period and duly exercises its Retraction Call Right in accordance with this Section , the obligation of the Company to redeem the Retracted Shares shall terminate and, provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder of such Retracted Shares in the manner specified in Section , the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall purchase from such holder and such holder shall sell to the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, on the Retraction Date the Retracted Shares for an amount per share equal to the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price. Provided that the aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been so deposited with the Transfer Agent as provided in Section , the closing of the purchase and sale of the Retracted Shares pursuant to the Retraction Call Right shall be deemed to have occurred as at the close of business on the Retraction Date and, for greater certainty, no redemption by the Company of such Retracted Shares shall take place on the Retraction Date.
(iii)
For the purpose of completing a purchase of Retracted Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Retraction Call Right, the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder of such Retracted Shares, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the holder's Retraction Request or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price to which such holder is entitled and such delivery of Exchangeable Share Consideration on behalf of the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price to the extent that the same is represented by such Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless such cheque comprising part of such Exchangeable Share Consideration is not paid on due presentation.
(iv)
On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the total Retraction Call Right Purchase Price in respect thereof, unless payment of the aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price payable to such holder shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of such aggregate Retraction Call Right Purchase Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so purchased by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Parent Shares delivered to such holder.
6.
Redemption of Exchangeable Shares by the Company.
(a)
Redemption Amount. Subject to applicable laws and the due exercise by the Parent or Callco of the Redemption Call Right, the Company shall on the Redemption Date redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per share (the "Redemption Price") equal to the Exchangeable Share Price on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, which price shall be satisfied in full by the Company delivering or causing to be delivered to each holder of Exchangeable Shares the Exchangeable Share Consideration for each Exchangeable Share held by such holder.
(b)
Notice of Redemption. In the case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to Section , the Company shall, at least 30 days before the Redemption Date (other than a Redemption Date established in connection with a Parent Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event), send or cause to be sent to each holder of Exchangeable Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Company or the purchase by the Parent or Callco under the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder. In the case of a Redemption Date established in connection with a Parent Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event or an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, the written notice of the redemption by the Company or the purchase by the Parent or Callco, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares under the Redemption Call Right will be sent on or before the Redemption Date, on as many days prior written notice as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances. In any such case, such notice shall set out the formula for determining the Redemption Price or the Redemption Call Purchase Price, as the case may be, the Redemption Date and, if applicable, particulars of the Redemption Call Right. In the case of any notice given in connection with a possible Redemption Date, such notice will be given contingently and will be withdrawn if the contingency does not occur.
(c)
Payment of Redemption Price. On or after the Redemption Date, and provided that the Redemption Call Right has not been exercised by the Parent or Callco, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Price for each such Exchangeable Share, upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the BCA(BC) and the constating documents of the Company and such additional documents, instruments and payments as the Transfer Agent and the Company may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Company or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares. Payment of the Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall be made by delivery to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Company for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Company by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price. On and after the Redemption Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof (including any rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement) other than the right to receive their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price, unless payment of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the Redemption Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Company shall have the right at any time after the sending of notice of its intention to redeem the Exchangeable Shares as aforesaid to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Redemption Price (in the form of Exchangeable Share Consideration) of the Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, or of such of the said Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption, in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada named in such notice and any interest earned on such deposit shall belong to the Company. Provided that such total Redemption Price has been so deposited prior to the Redemption Date, on and after the Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after the Redemption Date shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the certificates for the Exchangeable Shares held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

If in response to an invitation for tenders under the provisions of this Section more Exchangeable Shares are tendered at a price or prices acceptable to the Company than the Company is prepared to purchase, the Exchangeable Shares to be purchased by the Company shall be purchased as nearly as may be pro rata according to the number of shares tendered by each holder who submits a tender to the Company, provided that when shares are tendered at different prices the pro rating shall be effected (disregarding fractions) only with respect to the shares tendered at the price at which more shares were tendered than the Company is prepared to purchase after the Company has purchased all the shares tendered at lower prices. If only part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate are purchased pursuant to this Section , a new certificate for the balance of such shares shall be issued at the expense of the Company.
8.
Voting Rights.
Except as required by applicable laws and by Section , the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company or to vote at any such meeting.

At such adjourned meeting, the holders of Exchangeable Shares present or represented by proxy thereat may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast on such resolution at such meeting shall constitute the approval or consent of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.
