(a)

Voting

Holders of common shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall have one vote for each common share held at all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation, except meetings at which only holders of another specified class of shares of the Corporation are entitled to vote separately.

 

(b)

Dividends

Subject to the prior rights of the holders of preferred shares and any other shares ranking senior to the common shares with respect to priority in the payment of dividends, the holders of common shares shall be entitled to receive dividends and the Corporation shall pay dividends thereon, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) out of moneys properly applicable to the payment of dividends, in such amount and in such form as the Board may from time to time determine and all dividends which the Board may declare on the common shares shall be declared and paid in equal amounts per share on all common shares at the time outstanding.

 

(c)

Participation in Assets on Dissolution

In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, subject to the prior rights of the holders of the preferred shares and any other shares ranking senior to the common shares with respect to priority in the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or distribution for the purpose of winding-up, the holders of the common shares shall be entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation.

 


 

 

1.2

preferred shares which shall have attached thereto the following preferences, rights, conditions, restrictions, limitations, or prohibitions:

 

 

(a)

Board’s Authority to Issue in One or More Series

The Board may issue the preferred shares at any time and from time to time in one or more series. Before the first shares of any particular series are issued, the Board shall fix the number of preferred shares in such series and determine, subject to the limitations in the Articles, the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the shares of such series including without limitation, the rate or rates, amount or method or methods of calculation of dividends thereon, the time and place of payment of dividends, whether cumulative or non-cumulative or partially cumulative and whether such rate, amount or method of calculation shall be subject to change or adjustment in the future, the currency or currencies of payment of dividends, the priorities thereof in relation to other shares or the priorities of other shares in relation thereto, if any, the consideration and the terms and conditions of any purchase for cancellation, retraction or redemption rights, if any, the conversion or exchange rights attached thereto, if any, the voting rights attached thereto, if any, and the terms and conditions of any share purchase plan or sinking fund with respect thereto.

(b)

Ranking of Preferred Shares

No rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attached to a series of preferred shares shall confer upon a series a priority in respect of voting dividends or return of capital over any other series of preferred shares then outstanding.

If any cumulative dividends or amounts payable on a return of capital in respect of a series of preferred shares are not paid in full the preferred shares of all series shall participate rateably in respect of such dividends, including accumulations, of any, in accordance with the sums that would be payable on such shares if all such dividends were declared and paid in full, and in respect of any repayment of capital in accordance with the sums that would be payable on such repayment of capital if all sums so payable were paid in full, provided however, that in the event of there being insufficient assets to satisfy in full all such claims to dividends and return of capital, the claims of the holders of the preferred shares with respect to repayment of capital shall first be paid and satisfied and any assets remaining thereafter shall be applied towards the

 

 


 

payment and satisfaction of claims in respect of dividends. After payment to the holders of preferred shares of each series of the amounts of dividends and capital payable in accordance with these provisions and the rights, privileges and restrictions attached to each series of preferred shares, the holders of preferred shares shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the property and assets of the Corporation. The preferred shares of any series may also be given such other preferences, consistent with the Articles, over the common shares and over any other shares raking junior to the preferred shares as may be determined in the case of such series of preferred shares.
