SCHEDULE 2.03 (TERMS OF BNS PREFERRED SHARES)
TO THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Terms of Preferred Shares Series 24

          The following are the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares Series 24:

(i) DIVIDENDS

     1. The holders of Preferred Shares Series 24 shall be entitled to receive and the Bank shall pay thereon as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Bank, subject to the provisions of the Bank Act (as hereinafter defined), non-cumulative preferential cash dividends at the rates and times herein provided.

     2. (a) During the Initial Fixed Rate Period (as hereinafter defined), dividends on the Preferred Shares Series 24 shall be payable quarterly at the Initial Fixed Dividend Rate. Accordingly, on each Dividend Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) during the Initial Fixed Rate Period, other than April 28, 2009, the dividend payable, if declared, shall be equal to $ $0.3906 per share. The first of such dividends, if declared, shall be paid on April 28, 2009 and shall be $[0.5865]¹ per share.

          (b) During each Subsequent Fixed Rate Period (as hereinafter defined), dividends on the Preferred Shares Series 24 shall, if declared, be in the amount per share per annum determined by multiplying the Annual Fixed Dividend Rate (as hereinafter defined) applicable to such Subsequent Fixed Rate Period by $25.00, payable quarterly on each Dividend Payment Date in each 12-month period.

          (c) The Bank shall, in respect of each Subsequent Fixed Rate Period, calculate on each Fixed Rate Calculation Date (as hereinafter defined) the Annual Fixed Dividend Rate for such Subsequent Fixed Rate Period and shall, on the Fixed Rate Calculation Date, give written notice thereof to the then holders of Preferred Shares Series 24 by mailing such notice by ordinary unregistered first class prepaid mail to the address of each such holder as it appears on the books of the Bank, or if the address of any such holder does not so appear, then to the last known address of such holder. Each such determination by the Bank of the Annual Fixed Dividend Rate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding upon the Bank and upon all holders of Preferred Shares Series 24.

     3. (a) Dividends on the Preferred Shares Series 24 shall be paid by cheque of the Bank, in lawful money of Canada payable at par at any branch of the Bank in Canada in the amount of the applicable dividend, rounded to the nearest whole cent ($0.01) (less any tax required or permitted by law to be deducted and withheld by the Bank). The mailing by ordinary unregistered first class prepaid mail of such a cheque to a registered holder of Preferred Shares Series 24 to the address of such registered holder as it appears on the books of the Bank, or if the address of any such holder does not so appear, then to the last known address of such holder, on or before the fifth Business Day (as hereinafter defined) prior to the Dividend Payment Date shall be deemed to be payment and shall satisfy and discharge all liabilities for dividends payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the extent of the amount represented thereby (plus any tax deducted and withheld

1 To be adjusted upon actual Closing Date, if applicable.

-2-

therefrom as required or permitted by law) unless such cheque is not paid upon due presentation. A dividend which is represented by a cheque which has not been duly presented for payment within six years after it was issued or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which it was declared to be payable and set apart for payment shall be forfeited to the Bank.

          (b) If the Board of Directors of the Bank does not declare the dividends, or any part thereof, on the Preferred Shares Series 24, on or before the Dividend Payment Date for a particular quarter then the entitlement of the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 to such dividends, or to any part thereof, for such quarter shall be forever extinguished.

(ii) RIGHTS ON LIQUIDATION

          In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Bank or any distribution of assets of the Bank for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 shall be entitled to receive the sum of $25.00 for each Preferred Share Series 24, together with all dividends declared and unpaid to the date of distribution, before any amounts shall be paid or any assets of the Bank shall be distributed to the holders of any shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 24. The holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the property or assets of the Bank.

(iii) PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION

          Subject to Section (v) hereof and to the provisions of the Bank Act, including the prior consent of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada or the official of the Government of Canada having at the time similar authority (the “Superintendent”), the Bank may at any time or times purchase for cancellation the whole or any part of the Preferred Shares Series 24 outstanding from time to time, in the open market, at the lowest price or prices at which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Bank, such shares are obtainable.

(iv) REDEMPTION

     1. Subject to Section (v) hereof and to the provisions of the Bank Act, including the prior consent of the Superintendent, the Preferred Shares Series 24 shall be redeemable as follows:

(A) prior to January 26, 2014, the Bank may not redeem any of the Preferred Shares Series 24; and

(B) on January 26, 2014 and on January 26 in every fifth year thereafter, the Bank, upon giving notice as hereinafter provided, may redeem all, or from time to time any part, of the outstanding Preferred Shares Series 24, at the option of the Bank, without the consent of the holders of Preferred Shares Series 24, to be stipulated in the notice hereinafter provided, by the payment of an amount in cash for each such share to be redeemed of $25.00 together with declared and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption (the “Cash Redemption Price”).

     2. In the case of partial redemptions, Preferred Shares Series 24 to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata, disregarding fractions.

-3-

     3. In any case of redemption of Preferred Shares Series 24 hereunder, the Bank shall, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption, give to each person who at the date of mailing is the holder of Preferred Shares Series 24 to be redeemed a notice in writing of the intention of the Bank to redeem such shares. Such notice shall be given by prepaid mail addressed to each holder of Preferred Shares Series 24 to be redeemed at the last address of such holder as it appears on the books of the Bank or, in the event of the address of any holder not so appearing, then to the address of such holder last known to the Bank; provided that the accidental failure or omission to give any such notice as aforesaid to one or more of such holders shall not affect the validity of the redemption as to the other holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 to be redeemed. Such notice shall set out the number of Preferred Shares Series 24 held by the person to whom it is addressed which are to be redeemed, the Cash Redemption Price and the date on which the redemption is to take place. In addition to the foregoing notice, the Bank shall publish a single notice, in the manner in which it publishes dividend notices, of its intention to redeem a specified number of Preferred Shares Series 24.

     4. On and after the date so specified for redemption, the Bank shall either pay or cause to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 to be redeemed the Cash Redemption Price on presentation and surrender at any office of the transfer agent and registrar of the Bank for the Preferred Shares Series 24, or at any other place or places within Canada designated by such notice, of the certificate or certificates for the Preferred Shares Series 24 so called for redemption. Such payment shall be made by cheque payable at par at any branch in Canada of the Bank. If a part only of such Preferred Shares Series 24 represented by any certificate shall be redeemed, a new certificate for the balance shall be issued at the expense of the Bank. Subject to the following paragraph 5 of this Section (iv), from and after the date specified in any such notice, the Preferred Shares Series 24 called for redemption shall be deemed to be redeemed and the holders thereof shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof unless payment of the Cash Redemption Price shall not be duly made by the Bank upon presentation and surrender of the certificate or certificates for the Preferred Shares Series 24.

     5. At any time after notice of redemption is given as aforesaid, the Bank shall have the right to deposit the monies representing the Cash Redemption Price of any or all Preferred Shares Series 24 called for redemption with the Bank or with any trust company or trust companies in Canada named in the notice of redemption, including the transfer agent and registrar for the Preferred Shares Series 24, to the credit of a special account or accounts in trust for the respective holders of such shares, to be paid upon surrender to the Bank or such trust company or trust companies of the certificate or certificates representing the same. Any such deposit shall constitute payment and satisfaction of the Cash Redemption Price of the shares for which the deposit is made and the rights of the holders of such shares shall be limited to receiving the proportion (less any tax required or permitted by law to be deducted or withheld therefrom) of the amounts so deposited applicable to such shares (which amount for greater certainty shall include all declared and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption), without interest upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing the Preferred Shares Series 24 being redeemed. Any interest allowed on such deposit shall belong to the Bank.

-4-

(v) RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND RETIREMENT OF SHARES

          So long as any of the Preferred Shares Series 24 are outstanding, the Bank shall not at any time, without the approval of the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 given as provided in Section (ix):

(a)	declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend on its Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 24 (other than stock dividends in any shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 24); or
(b)	redeem, purchase or otherwise retire any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 24 (except out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue of shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 24); or
(c)	redeem, purchase or otherwise retire less than all of the Preferred Shares Series 24; or
(d)	except pursuant to any purchase obligation, sinking fund, retraction privilege or mandatory redemption provisions attaching to any series of Preferred Shares, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire any other shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares Series 24;

unless, in each case, all dividends up to and including those payable on the dividend payment date for the last completed period for which dividends shall be payable shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment in respect of each series of cumulative Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding and on all other cumulative shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares and there shall have been paid or set apart for payment all declared dividends in respect to each series of non-cumulative Preferred Shares (including the Preferred Shares Series 24) then issued and outstanding and on all other non-cumulative shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares.

(vi) VOTING RIGHTS

          Subject to the provisions of the Bank Act, holders of Preferred Shares Series 24 shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of or to attend or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Bank unless and until the first time at which the Board of Directors of the Bank has not declared the whole dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 24 in any quarter. In that event, subject as hereinafter provided, such holders shall be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend, meetings of shareholders at which directors are to be elected and shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Preferred Share Series 24 held (collectively, the “voting rights”). The voting rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 shall forthwith cease upon payment by the Bank of the first dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 24 to which the holders are entitled hereunder subsequent to the time such voting rights first arose until such time as the Bank may again fail to declare the whole dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 24 in any quarter, in which event such voting rights shall become effective again and so on from time to time.

-5-

(vii) CONVERSION OF SERIES 24 PREFERRED SHARES

A. Conversion at the Option of the Holder

(1) Holders of Preferred Shares Series 24 shall have the right, at their option, on January 26, 2014 and on January 26 in every fifth year thereafter (a “Series 24 Conversion Date”), to convert, subject to the terms and provisions hereof and to the provisions of the Bank Act, all or any Preferred Shares Series 24 registered in their name into Preferred Shares Series 25 on the basis of one (1) Preferred Share Series 25 for each Preferred Share Series 24.

On the 30^th day prior to each Series 24 Conversion Date, the Bank shall give notice in writing to the then holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 of the Annual Fixed Dividend Rate determined by the Bank for the succeeding Subsequent Fixed Rate Period. Each such notice shall be given by mailing such notice by ordinary unregistered first class prepaid mail to the address of each such holder as it appears on the books of the Bank, or if the address of any such holder does not so appear, then to the last known address of such holder.

(2) If the Bank gives notice as provided in Section (iv) to the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 of the redemption of all the Preferred Shares Series 24, the Bank shall not be required to give notice as provided in this Section (vii)A to the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 of an Annual Fixed Dividend Rate or of the Conversion Privilege and the right of any holder of Preferred Shares Series 24 to convert such Preferred Shares Series 24 as herein provided shall cease and terminate in that event.

(3) Holders of Preferred Shares Series 24 shall not be entitled to convert their shares into Preferred Shares Series 25 on a Series 24 Conversion Date if the Bank determines that there would remain outstanding on the Series 24 Conversion Date less than 1,000,000 Preferred Shares Series 25 after taking into account all Preferred Shares Series 24 tendered for conversion into Preferred Shares Series 25 and all Preferred Shares Series 25 tendered for conversion into Preferred Shares Series 24. The Bank shall give notice in writing thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section (vii)A(1), mutatis mutandis, to all affected holders of Preferred Shares Series 24 at least seven (7) days prior to the applicable Series 24 Conversion Date and will issue and deliver, or cause to be delivered, prior to such Series 24 Conversion Date, at the expense of the Bank, to such holders of Preferred Shares Series 24, who have surrendered for conversion any certificate or certificates representing Preferred Shares Series 24, new certificates representing the Preferred Shares Series 24 represented by any certificate or certificates surrendered as aforesaid.

-6-

B. Automatic Conversion

If the Bank determines that there would remain outstanding on a Series 24 Conversion Date less than 1,000,000 Preferred Shares Series 24 after taking into account all Preferred Shares Series 24 tendered for conversion into Preferred Shares Series 25 and all Preferred Shares Series 25 tendered for conversion into Preferred Shares Series 24, then, all, but not part, of the remaining outstanding Preferred Shares Series 24 shall automatically be converted into Preferred Shares Series 25 on the basis of one (1) Preferred Share Series 25 for each Preferred Share Series 24 on the applicable Series 24 Conversion Date and the Bank shall give notice in writing thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section (vii)A(1), mutatis mutandis, to the holders of such remaining Preferred Shares Series 24 at least seven (7) days prior to the Series 24 Conversion Date.

C. Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege

(1)

The Conversion Privilege may be exercised by notice in writing (a “Conversion Notice”) given not earlier than 30 days prior to a Series 24 Conversion Date but not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the 15th day preceding a Series 24 Conversion Date during usual business hours at any office of any transfer agent of the Bank at which the Preferred Shares Series 24 are transferable accompanied by: (1) payment or evidence of payment of the tax (if any) payable as provided in this Section (vii)C; and (2) the certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares Series 24 in respect of which the holder thereof desires to exercise the Conversion Privilege with the transfer form on the back thereof or other appropriate stock transfer power of attorney duly endorsed by the holder, or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, in which Conversion Notice such holder may also elect to convert part only of the Preferred Shares Series 24 represented by such certificate or certificates not theretofore called for redemption in which event the Bank shall issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, at the expense of the Bank, a new certificate representing the Preferred Shares Series 24 represented by such certificate or certificates that have not been converted. Each Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable.

(2)

In the event the Bank is required to convert all remaining outstanding Preferred Shares Series 24 into Preferred Shares Series 25 on the applicable Series 24 Conversion Date as provided for in Section (vii)B, the Preferred Shares Series 24 in respect of which the holders have not previously elected to convert shall be converted on the Series 24 Conversion Date into Preferred Shares Series 25 and the holders thereof shall be deemed to be holders of Preferred Shares Series 25 at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Series 24 Conversion Date and shall be entitled, upon surrender during usual business hours at any office of any transfer agent of the Bank at which the Preferred Shares Series 24 were transferable of the certificate or certificates representing Preferred Shares Series 24 not previously surrendered for conversion, to receive a certificate or certificates representing the same number of Preferred Shares Series 25 in the manner and subject to the terms and provisions as provided in this Section (vii)C.

-7-

(3)	As promptly as practicable after the Series 24 Conversion Date, the Bank shall issue and deliver, or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the holder of the Preferred Shares Series 24 so surrendered, a certificate or certificates, issued in the name of, or in such name or names as may be directed by, such holder representing the number of fully-paid and non-assessable Preferred Shares Series 25 and the number of remaining Preferred Shares Series 24, if any, to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Series 24 Conversion Date, so that the rights of the holder of such Preferred Shares Series 24 as the holder thereof shall cease at such time and the person or persons entitled to receive Preferred Shares Series 25 upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as having become the holder or holders of record of such Preferred Shares Series 25 at such time.
(4)	The holder of any Preferred Share Series 24 on the record date for any dividend declared payable on such share shall be entitled to such dividend notwithstanding that such share is converted into Preferred Shares Series 25 after such record date and on or before the date of the payment of such dividend.
(5)	The issuance of certificates for the Preferred Shares Series 25 upon the conversion of Preferred Shares Series 24 shall be made without charge to the converting holders of Preferred Shares Series 24 for any fee or tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates or the Preferred Shares Series 25 represented thereby; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be required to pay any tax that may be imposed upon the person or persons to whom such Preferred Shares Series 25 are issued in respect of the issuance of such Preferred Shares Series 25 or the certificate therefor or any security transfer taxes, and the Bank shall not be required to issue or deliver a certificate or certificates in a name or names other than that of the holder of the Preferred Shares Series 24 converted unless the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Bank the amount of any such security transfer tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Bank that such tax has been paid.
(6)	Upon exercise of the Conversion Privilege by a holder of Preferred Shares Series 24, or upon an automatic conversion, pursuant to Section (vii)B, of Preferred Shares Series 24 of a holder, whose address is in, or whom the Bank or the transfer agent and registrar for the Preferred Shares Series 24 has reason to believe is a resident of, the United States of America, its territories or possessions or other jurisdiction (other than Canada), the laws of which would require the Bank to comply with the registration, prospectus, filing or other similar requirements under the applicable securities laws of such jurisdiction, the Bank reserves the right not to issue Preferred Shares Series 25 to any such holder.

-8-

(viii) ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL PREFERRED SHARES AND AMENDMENTS TO PREFERRED SHARES SERIES 24

A. Issue of Additional Preferred Shares

          The Bank may issue other series of Preferred Shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares Series 24 without the authorization of the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24.

B. Amendments to Preferred Shares Series 24

          The Bank will not without, but may from time to time with, the approval of the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 24 given as specified in Section (ix) delete or vary any rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Preferred Shares Series 24. In addition to the aforementioned approval, the Bank will not without, but may from time to time with, the prior consent of the Superintendent make any such deletion or variation which might affect the classification afforded the Preferred Shares Series 24 from time to time for capital adequacy purposes pursuant to the Bank Act, or pursuant to regulations and guidelines thereunder.

Terms of Preferred Shares Series 25

          The following are the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares Series 25:

(i) DIVIDENDS

          (a) The holders of Preferred Shares Series 25 shall be entitled to receive and the Bank shall pay thereon as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Bank, subject to the provisions of the Bank Act (as hereinafter defined), non-cumulative preferential cash dividends payable quarterly at the Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate (as hereinafter defined) as calculated from time to time. Accordingly, on each Dividend Payment Date (as hereinafter defined), the dividend payable on the Preferred Shares Series 25, if declared, shall be in the amount per share determined by multiplying:

(A)	the product obtained by multiplying $25.00 by the Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate applicable to the Quarterly Floating Rate Period (as hereinafter defined) immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date; by
(B)	a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual number of days elapsed in such Quarterly Floating Rate Period and the denominator of which is 365.

          (b) The Bank shall, in respect of each Quarterly Floating Rate Period, calculate on each Floating Rate Calculation Date (as hereinafter defined) the Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate for such Quarterly Floating Rate Period and shall, on the Floating Rate Calculation Date, give written notice thereof to the then holders of Preferred Shares Series 25 by mailing such notice by ordinary unregistered first class prepaid mail to the address of each such holder as it appears on the books of the Bank, or if the address of any such holder does not so appear, then to the last known address of such holder. Each such determination by the Bank of the Floating Quarterly Dividend Rate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding upon the Bank and upon all holders of Preferred Shares Series 25.

     2. (a) Dividends on the Preferred Shares Series 25 shall be paid by cheque of the Bank, in lawful money of Canada payable at par at any branch of the Bank in Canada in the amount of the applicable dividend, rounded to the nearest whole cent ($0.01) (less any tax required or permitted by law to be deducted and withheld by the Bank). The mailing by ordinary unregistered first class prepaid mail of such a cheque to a registered holder of Preferred Shares Series 25 to the address of such registered holder as it appears on the books of the Bank, or if the address of any such holder does not so appear, then to the last known address of such holder, on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Dividend Payment Date shall be deemed to be payment and shall satisfy and discharge all liabilities for dividends payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the extent of the amount represented thereby (plus any tax deducted and withheld therefrom as required or permitted by law) unless such cheque is not paid upon due presentation. A dividend which is represented by a cheque which has not been duly presented for payment within six years after it was issued or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which it was declared to be payable and set apart for payment shall be forfeited to the Bank.

-13-

          (b) If the Board of Directors of the Bank does not declare the dividends, or any part thereof, on the Preferred Shares Series 25, on or before the Dividend Payment Date for a Quarterly Floating Rate Period then the entitlement of the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 25 to such dividends, or to any part thereof, for such Quarterly Floating Rate Period shall be forever extinguished.

(ii) RIGHTS ON LIQUIDATION

          In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Bank or any distribution of assets of the Bank for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 25 shall be entitled to receive the sum of $25.00 for each Preferred Share Series 25, together with all dividends declared and unpaid to the date of distribution, before any amounts shall be paid or any assets of the Bank shall be distributed to the holders of any shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 25. The holders of the Preferred Shares Series 25 shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the property or assets of the Bank.

(iii) PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION

          Subject to Section (v) hereof and to the provisions of the Bank Act, including the prior consent of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada or the official of the Government of Canada having at the time similar authority (the “Superintendent”), the Bank may at any time or times purchase for cancellation the whole or any part of the Preferred Shares Series 25 outstanding from time to time, in the open market, at the lowest price or prices at which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Bank, such shares are obtainable.

(iv) REDEMPTION

     1. Subject to Section (v) hereof and to the provisions of the Bank Act, including the prior consent of the Superintendent, the Preferred Shares Series 25 shall be redeemable as follows:

(A) prior to January 26, 2014, the Bank may not redeem any of the Preferred Shares Series 25;

(C) on January 26, 2019 and on January 26 in every fifth year thereafter (each such date, an “Excluded Redemption Date”), the Bank, upon giving notice as hereinafter provided, may redeem all, or from time to time any part, of the outstanding Preferred Shares Series 25, at the option of the Bank, without the consent of the holders of Preferred Shares Series 25, to be stipulated in the notice hereinafter provided, by the payment of an amount in cash for each such share to be redeemed of $25.00 together with declared and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption (the “Basic Redemption Price”).

-14-

     2. In the case of partial redemptions, Preferred Shares Series 25 to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata, disregarding fractions.

     3. In any case of redemption of Preferred Shares Series 25 hereunder, the Bank shall, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption, give to each person who at the date of mailing is the holder of Preferred Shares Series 25 to be redeemed a notice in writing of the intention of the Bank to redeem such shares. Such notice shall be given by prepaid mail addressed to each holder of Preferred Shares Series 25 to be redeemed at the last address of such holder as it appears on the books of the Bank or, in the event of the address of any holder not so appearing, then to the address of such holder last known to the Bank; provided that the accidental failure or omission to give any such notice as aforesaid to one or more of such holders shall not affect the validity of the redemption as to the other holders of the Preferred Shares Series 25 to be redeemed. Such notice shall set out the number of Preferred Shares Series 25 held by the person to whom it is addressed which are to be redeemed, the Basic Redemption Price or the Premium Redemption Price, as applicable, and the date on which the redemption is to take place. In addition to the foregoing notice, the Bank shall publish a single notice, in the manner in which it publishes dividend notices, of its intention to redeem a specified number of Preferred Shares Series 25.

     4. On and after the date so specified for redemption, the Bank shall either pay or cause to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 25 to be redeemed the Basic Redemption Price or the Premium Redemption Price, as applicable, on presentation and surrender at any office of the transfer agent and registrar of the Bank for the Preferred Shares Series 25, or at any other place or places within Canada designated by such notice, of the certificate or certificates for the Preferred Shares Series 25 so called for redemption. Such payment shall be made by cheque payable at par at any branch in Canada of the Bank. If a part only of such Preferred Shares Series 25 represented by any certificate shall be redeemed, a new certificate for the balance shall be issued at the expense of the Bank. Subject to the following paragraph 5 of this Section (iv), from and after the date specified in any such notice, the Preferred Shares Series 25 called for redemption shall be deemed to be redeemed and the holders thereof shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof unless payment of the Basic Redemption Price or the Premium Redemption Price, as applicable, shall not be duly made by the Bank upon presentation and surrender of the certificate or certificates for the Preferred Shares Series 25.

     5. At any time after notice of redemption is given as aforesaid, the Bank shall have the right to deposit the monies representing the Basic Redemption Price or the Premium Redemption Price, as applicable, of any or all Preferred Shares Series 25 called for redemption with the Bank or with any trust company or trust companies in Canada named in the notice of redemption, including the transfer agent and registrar for the Preferred Shares Series 25, to the credit of a special account or accounts in trust for the respective holders of such shares, to be paid upon surrender to the Bank or such trust company or trust companies of the certificate or certificates representing the same. Any such deposit shall constitute payment and satisfaction of the Basic Redemption Price or the Premium Redemption Price, as applicable, of the shares for which the deposit is made and the rights of the holders of such shares shall be limited to receiving the proportion (less any tax required or permitted by law to be deducted or withheld therefrom) of the amounts so deposited applicable to such shares (which amount for greater certainty shall include all declared and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption), without interest upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing the

-15-

Preferred Shares Series 25 being redeemed. Any interest allowed on such deposit shall belong to the Bank.

(v) RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND RETIREMENT OF SHARES

(a)	declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend on its Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 25 (other than stock dividends in any shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 25); or
(b)	redeem, purchase or otherwise retire any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 25 (except out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issue of shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares Series 25); or
(c)	redeem, purchase or otherwise retire less than all of the Preferred Shares Series 25; or
(d)	except pursuant to any purchase obligation, sinking fund, retraction privilege or mandatory redemption provisions attaching to any series of Preferred Shares, redeem, purchase or otherwise retire any other shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares Series 25;

unless, in each case, all dividends up to and including those payable on the dividend payment date for the last completed period for which dividends shall be payable shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment in respect of each series of cumulative Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding and on all other cumulative shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares and there shall have been paid or set apart for payment all declared dividends in respect to each series of non-cumulative Preferred Shares (including the Preferred Shares Series 25) then issued and outstanding and on all other non-cumulative shares ranking on a parity with the Preferred Shares.

(vi) VOTING RIGHTS

          Subject to the provisions of the Bank Act, holders of Preferred Shares Series 25 shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of or to attend or to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Bank unless and until the first time at which the Board of Directors of the Bank has not declared the whole dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 25 in any Quarterly Floating Rate Period. In that event, subject as hereinafter provided, such holders shall be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend, meetings of shareholders at which directors are to be elected and shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each Preferred Share Series 25 held (collectively, the “voting rights”). The voting rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 25 shall forthwith cease upon payment by the Bank of the first dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 25 to which the holders are entitled hereunder subsequent to the time such voting rights first arose until such time as the Bank may again fail to declare the whole dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 25 in any Quarterly Floating Rate Period, in which event such voting rights shall become effective again and so on from time to time.

Each Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable.

(2)

In the event the Bank is required to convert all remaining outstanding Preferred Shares Series 25 into Preferred Shares Series 24 on the applicable Series 25 Conversion Date as provided for in Section (vii)B, the Preferred Shares Series 25 in respect of which the holders have not previously elected to convert shall be converted on the Series 25 Conversion Date into Preferred Shares Series 24 and the holders thereof shall be deemed to be holders of Preferred Shares Series 24 at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Series 25 Conversion Date and shall be entitled, upon surrender during usual business hours at any office of any transfer agent of the Bank at which the Preferred Shares Series 25 were transferable of the certificate or certificates representing Preferred Shares Series 25 not previously surrendered for conversion, to receive a certificate or certificates representing the same number of Preferred Shares Series 24 in the manner and subject to the terms and provisions as provided in this Section (vii)C.

-18-

(3)	As promptly as practicable after the Series 25 Conversion Date, the Bank shall issue and deliver, or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the holder of the Preferred Shares Series 25 so surrendered, a certificate or certificates, issued in the name of, or in such name or names as may be directed by, such holder representing the number of fully-paid and non-assessable Preferred Shares Series 24 and the number of remaining Preferred Shares Series 25, if any, to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Series 25 Conversion Date, so that the rights of the holder of such Preferred Shares Series 25 as the holder thereof shall cease at such time and the person or persons entitled to receive Preferred Shares Series 24 upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as having become the holder or holders of record of such Preferred Shares Series 24 at such time.
(4)	The holder of any Preferred Share Series 25 on the record date for any dividend declared payable on such share shall be entitled to such dividend notwithstanding that such share is converted into Preferred Shares Series 24 after such record date and on or before the date of the payment of such dividend.
(5)	The issuance of certificates for the Preferred Shares Series 24 upon the conversion of Preferred Shares Series 25 shall be made without charge to the converting holders of Preferred Shares Series 25 for any fee or tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates or the Preferred Shares Series 24 represented thereby; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be required to pay any tax which may be imposed upon the person or persons to whom such Preferred Shares Series 24 are issued in respect of the issuance of such Preferred Shares Series 24 or the certificate therefor or any security transfer taxes, and the Bank shall not be required to issue or deliver a certificate or certificates in a name or names other than that of the holder of the Preferred Shares Series 25 converted unless the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Bank the amount of any such security transfer tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Bank that such tax has been paid.
(6)	Upon exercise of the Conversion Privilege by a holder of Preferred Shares Series 25, or upon an automatic conversion, pursuant to Section (vii)B, of Preferred Shares Series 25 of a holder, whose address is in, or whom the Bank or the transfer agent and registrar for the Preferred Shares Series 25 has reason to believe is a resident of, the United States of America, its territories or possessions or other jurisdiction (other than Canada), the laws of which would require the Bank to comply with the registration, prospectus, filing or other similar requirements under the applicable securities laws of such jurisdiction, the Bank reserves the right not to issue Preferred Shares Series 24 to any such holder.

(viii) ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL PREFERRED SHARES AND AMENDMENTS TO PREFERRED SHARES SERIES 25

(ix) APPROVAL OF HOLDERS OF PREFERRED SHARES SERIES 23

At such adjourned meeting, the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 25 present or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by the affirmative vote of not less than 66²/3% of the votes cast at such meeting shall constitute the approval of the holders of the Preferred Shares Series 25. On every poll taken at any such meeting or adjourned meeting, every holder of Preferred Shares Series 25 shall be entitled to one (1) vote in respect of each Preferred Share Series 25 held. Subject to the foregoing, the formalities to be observed in respect of the giving of notice of any such meeting or adjourned meeting and conduct thereof shall be those from time to time prescribed in the by-laws of the Bank with respect to meetings of shareholders.
