In consideration of the issuance and delivery of each such Parent Common Share, Exchangeco or NovaScotiaco, as the case may be, shall issue to Parent, or as Parent shall direct, common shares in the capital of Exchangeco or NovaScotiaco having equivalent value.

2.6 Qualification of Parent Common Shares

If any Parent Common Shares (or other shares or securities into which Parent Common Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by section 2.7 hereof) to be issued and delivered hereunder require registration or qualification with or approval of or the filing of any document, including any prospectus or similar document or the taking of any proceeding with or the obtaining of any order, ruling or consent from any governmental or regulatory authority under any Canadian or United States federal, provincial or state securities or other law or regulation or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any securities or other regulatory authority or the fulfillment of any other United States or Canadian legal requirement before such shares (or such other shares or securities) may be issued by Parent and delivered by Parent at the direction of Exchangeco or NovaScotiaco, if applicable, to the holder of surrendered Exchangeable Shares or in order that such shares (or such other shares or securities) may be freely traded thereafter in Canada and the United States (other than any restrictions of general application on transfer by reason of a holder being a "control person" for purposes of Canadian provincial securities law or an "affiliate" of Parent for purposes of United States federal or state securities law), Parent will in good faith expeditiously take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to cause such Parent Common Shares (or such other shares or securities) to be and remain duly registered, qualified or approved under United States and/or Canadian law, as the case may be. Parent will in good faith expeditiously take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to cause all Parent Common Shares (or such other shares or securities) to be delivered hereunder to be listed, quoted or posted for trading on all stock exchanges and quotation systems on which outstanding Parent Common Shares (or such other shares or securities) have been listed by Parent and remain listed and are quoted or posted for trading at such time.

2.7 Economic Equivalence

(a) Parent will not without prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11 of the Share Provisions:

(i) issue or distribute Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Common Shares by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than an issue of Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Shares) to holders of Parent Common Shares who exercise an option to receive dividends in Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends; or

(ii) issue or distribute rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or to purchase Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Shares); or

(iii) issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding Parent Common Shares (A) shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Common Shares (other than shares convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Shares), (B) rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in section 2.7(a)(ii) above, (C) evidences of indebtedness of Parent or (D) assets of Parent,

unless the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such rights, options, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets is issued or distributed simultaneously to holders of the Exchangeable Shares; provided that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by Parent in order to give effect to and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Share Exchange Agreement.

(b) Parent will not without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11 of the Share Provisions:

(i) subdivide, redivide or change the then outstanding Parent Common Shares into a greater number of Parent Common Shares; or

(ii) reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding Parent Common Shares into a lesser number of Parent Common Shares; or

(iii) reclassify or otherwise change Parent Common Shares or effect an amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Common Shares,

unless the same or an economically equivalent change shall simultaneously be made to, or in the rights of the holders of, the Exchangeable Shares.

(c)    Parent will ensure that the record date for any event referred to in section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) above, or (if no record date is applicable for such event) the effective date for any such event, is not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such event is declared or announced by Parent (with contemporaneous notification thereof by Parent to Exchangeco).

(d)    The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion acting reasonably, economic equivalence for the purposes of any event referred to in section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) above and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on Parent. 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 Common Shares, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Common Shares previously outstanding

(ii)    in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner above contemplated) of an Parent Common Share

(iii)    in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including without limitation any shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Common Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in section 2.7(d)(ii) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Parent or any assets of 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 Common Share and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner above contemplated) of an Parent Common Share

(iv)    in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Common Shares into a greater number of Parent Common Shares or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Common Shares into a lesser number of Parent Common Shares or any amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Common Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Parent Common 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 Common 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 marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).

For purposes of the foregoing determinations, the current market value of any security listed and traded or quoted on a securities exchange shall be the weighted average of the closing bid and ask prices of such security during a period of not less than 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than three trading days before the date of determination on the principal securities exchange on which such securities are listed and traded or quoted; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Board of Directors the public distribution or trading activity of such securities during such period does not create a market which reflects the fair market value of such securities, then the current market value thereof shall be determined by the Board of Directors, in good faith, based upon the advice of such qualified independent financial advisors as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, and provided further that any such determination by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive and binding on Parent

(e) Exchangeco agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from Parent, Exchangeco will use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken such steps as may be necessary for the purposes of ensuring that appropriate dividends are paid or other distributions are made by Exchangeco, or subdivisions, redivisions or changes are made to the Exchangeable Shares, in order to implement the required economic equivalent with respect to Parent Common Shares and the Exchangeable Shares as provided for in this section 2.7.

2.8 Tender Offers

In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to Parent Common Shares (an "Offer") is proposed by Parent or is proposed to Parent or its shareholders and is recommended by the Board of Directors of Parent, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the Board of Directors of Parent, and the Exchangeable Shares are not redeemed by Exchangeco or purchased by NovaScotiaco as contemplated by and in compliance with the Share Provisions, Parent will use its reasonable efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of the Exchangeable Shares to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of Parent Common Shares, without discrimination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent will use its reasonable efforts expeditiously and in good faith (and shall, in the case of a transaction by Parent or where Parent is a participant in the negotiation thereof) to ensure that holders of the Exchangeable Shares may participate in all such Offers without being required to retract the Exchangeable Shares as against Exchangeco (or, if so required, to ensure that any such retraction, shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of the Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer). Nothing herein shall affect the rights of Exchangeco under the Share Provisions to redeem (or NovaScotiaco to purchase pursuant to the Redemption Right) the Exchangeable Shares, as applicable, in the event of a Parent Control Transaction.

2.9 Ownership of Outstanding Shares

Without the prior approval of Exchangeco and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 11 of the Share Provisions, Parent covenants and agrees in favour of Exchangeco and the Agent on behalf of holders of the Exchangeable Shares that, as long as any of the Exchangeable Shares outstanding are owned by any person or entity other than Parent or any of its Affiliates, Parent will be and shall remain the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding voting shares in the capital of Exchangeco and NovaScotiaco.

2.10 Parent and Affiliates Not to Vote Exchangeable Shares

Parent covenants and agrees that it will appoint and cause to be appointed proxyholders with respect to all of the Exchangeable Shares held by it and its Affiliates for the sole purpose of attending each meeting of holders of the Exchangeable Shares in order to be counted as part of the quorum for each such meeting. Parent further covenants and agrees that it will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, exercise any voting rights which may be exercisable by holders of the Exchangeable Shares from time to time pursuant to the Share Provisions or pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (or any successor or other corporate statute by which Exchangeco may in the future be governed) with respect to any of the Exchangeable Shares held by it or by its Affiliates in respect of any matter considered at any meeting of holders of the Exchangeable Shares.

2.11 Rule 10b-18 Purchases

For certainty, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations of Parent contained in section 2.8 hereof, shall limit the ability of Parent or Exchangeco to make a "Rule 10b-18 Purchase" of Parent Common Shares pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor provisions thereof.

2.12 Special Voting Share

During the term of this Agreement, Parent will not issue any additional Special Voting Shares and will not amend, alter, change or repeal the terms of the Special Voting Share without the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 11 of the Share Provisions.

DIVIDENDS

3.1 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 on each Exchangeable Share:

(a)    in the case of a cash dividend declared on the Parent Common Shares, in an amount in cash for each Exchangeable Share in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the Parent Dividend Declaration Date, in each case, equal to the cash dividend declared on each Parent Common Share;
(b)    in the case of a stock dividend or other distribution declared on the Parent Common Shares to be paid in Parent Common Shares, in such number of Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share as is equal to the number of Parent Common Shares to be paid on each Parent Common Share; or
(c)    in the case of a dividend declared on the Parent Common Shares in property other than cash or Parent Common Shares, in such type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent to the type and amount of property declared as a dividend on each Parent Common Share (to be determined by the Board of Directors as contemplated by section 3.5 hereof).
Such dividends shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued Exchangeable Shares of the Corporation, as applicable.

3.2 Cheques of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends contemplated by section 3.1(a) hereof and the sending of such a cheque to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the cash dividend represented thereby unless the cheque is not paid on presentation.

Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends contemplated by section A.3.1(c) hereof shall be issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall determine and the issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the dividend represented thereby.

3.3 The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend declared on the Exchangeable Shares under section 3.1 hereof shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend declared on the Parent Common Shares.

3.4 If on any payment date for any dividends declared on the Exchangeable Shares under section 3.1 hereof the dividends are not paid in full on all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends that remain unpaid shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such dividends.

3.5 The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion, economic equivalence for the purposes of section 3.1 hereof, and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and its shareholders absent manifest error. 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:

(a)    in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner above contemplated) of a Parent Common Share;
(b)    in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including without limitation any shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Common Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in section 3.5(b) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Parent or any assets of Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner below contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Common Share and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner below contemplated) of a Parent Common Share; and

(c)    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 Common Shares as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States of America (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares).

For purposes of the foregoing determinations, the current market value of any security listed and traded or quoted on a securities exchange shall be the weighted average of the closing bid and ask prices of such security during a period of not less than 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than three trading days before the date of determination on the principal securities exchange on which such securities are listed and traded or quoted; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Board of Directors the public distribution or trading activity of such securities during such period does not create a market which reflects the fair market value of such securities, then the current market value thereof shall be determined by the Board of Directors, in good faith, based upon the advice of such qualified independent financial advisors as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate, and in its sole discretion, and provided further that any such determination by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and its shareholders.

SECTION 4
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS

4.1 So long as any of the Exchangeable Shares are outstanding, the Corporation 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 11.2 of these Share Provisions:

(a)    pay any dividends on the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, other than stock dividends payable in Common Shares or any such other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, as the case may be;
(b)    redeem or purchase or make any capital distribution in respect of Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares;
(c)    redeem or purchase any other shares of the Corporation ranking equally with the Exchangeable Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or on any Liquidation Distribution; or
(d)    issue any Exchangeable Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking equally with, or superior to, the Exchangeable Shares other than by way of stock dividends to the holders of such Exchangeable Shares.

The restrictions in subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) above shall not apply if all dividends on the outstanding Exchangeable Shares corresponding to dividends declared and paid to date on the Parent Common Shares shall have been declared and paid on the Exchangeable Shares.

SECTION 5
DISTRIBUTION ON LIQUIDATION

5.1 In the event of a Liquidation Distribution, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive from the assets of the Corporation in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder on the effective date (the "Liquidation Date") of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Corporation among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, an amount per Exchangeable Share (the "Liquidation Amount") equal to (i) the Current Market Price of a Parent Common Share on the last Business Day prior to the Liquidation Date (which shall be satisfied in full by the Corporation causing to be delivered to such holder one Parent Common Share), plus (ii) the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on any Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Liquidation Date.

5.2 On or promptly after the Liquidation Date, and subject to the exercise by NovaScotiaco of the Liquidation Call Right, the Corporation shall 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 Act and the articles and by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares. Payment of the total Liquidation Amount 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 Corporation for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, on behalf of the Corporation of certificates representing Parent Common Shares (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non- assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance) and a cheque of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation in respect of the remaining portion, if any, of the total Liquidation Amount (in each case less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom). 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, 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 total Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Corporation shall have the right at any time after the Liquidation Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the total Liquidation Amount in respect of the Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the Liquidation Date been surrendered by the holders thereof in a custodial account with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Upon such deposit being made, the rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares after such deposit shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Liquidation Amount (in each case less such amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom) for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or deposit of the total Liquidation Amount, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Parent Common Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf.

5.3 After the Corporation has satisfied its obligations to pay the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount per Exchangeable Share pursuant to section 5.1 of these Share Provisions, such holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

SECTION 6
RETRACTION OF EXCHANGEABLE- SHARES BY HOLDER

6.1 A holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time, subject to the exercise by NovaScotiaco of the Retraction Call Right and otherwise upon compliance with the provisions of this section 6, to require the Corporation to redeem any or all of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for an amount per Exchangeable Share (the "Retraction Price") equal to (i) the Current Market Price of a Parent Common Share on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (which shall be satisfied in full by the Corporation causing to be delivered to such holder one Parent Common Share for each Exchangeable Share presented and surrendered by the holder), plus (ii) the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on any such Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Retraction Date.

or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Corporation:

(a)    (specifying that the 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 Corporation;
(b)    stating the Business Day on which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem the Retracted Shares (the "Retraction Date"), provided that the Retraction Date shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 15 Business Days after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation and further provided that, in the event that no such Business Day is specified by the holder in the Retraction Request, the Retraction Date shall be deemed to be the 15th Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation; and
(c)    acknowledging the overriding right (the "Retraction Call Right") of NovaScotiaco to purchase all but not less than all the Retracted Shares directly from the holder and that the Retraction Request shall be deemed to be a revocable offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to NovaScotiaco in accordance with the Retraction Call Right on the terms and conditions set out in section 6.3 below.

6.2 Upon receipt by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent in the manner specified in section 6.1 hereof of a certificate or certificates representing the number of Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with a Retraction Request, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in section 6.7, the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business (Toronto time) on the Retraction Date and shall cause to be delivered to such holder the total Retraction Price with respect to such shares, provided that all declared and unpaid dividends for which the record date has occurred prior to the Retraction Date shall be paid on the payment date for such dividends, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. 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 Corporation.

6.3 Upon receipt by the Corporation of a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall immediately notify NovaScotiaco thereof. In order to exercise the Retraction Call Right, NovaScotiaco must notify the Corporation of its determination to do so (the "NovaScotiaco Call Notice") within five Business Days of notification to NovaScotiaco by the Corporation of the receipt by the Corporation of the Retraction Request. If NovaScotiaco does not so notify the Corporation within such five Business Day period, the Corporation will notify the holder as soon as possible thereafter that NovaScotiaco will not exercise the Retraction Call Right. If NovaScotiaco delivers the NovaScotiaco Call Notice within such five Business Day period, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in section 6.7, the Retraction Request shall thereupon be considered only to be an offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to NovaScotiaco in accordance with the Retraction Call Right. In such event, the Corporation shall not redeem the Retracted Shares and NovaScotiaco shall purchase from such holder and such holder shall sell to NovaScotiaco on the Retraction Date the Retracted Shares for an amount per Retracted Share (the "Purchase Price") equal to (i) the Current Market Price of a Parent Common Share on the last Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (which shall be satisfied in full by NovaScotiaco causing to be delivered to such holder one Parent Common Share for each Exchangeable Share presented and surrendered by the holder), plus (ii) the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on those Retracted Shares held by such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Retraction Date. For the purposes of completing a purchase pursuant to the Retraction Call Right, NovaScotiaco shall deposit with the Transfer Agent, on or before the Retraction Date, certificates representing Parent Common Shares and a cheque or cheques of NovaScotiaco payable at par at any branch of the bankers of NovaScotiaco representing the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Provided that NovaScotiaco has complied with the immediately preceding sentence, 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 Corporation of such Retracted Shares shall take place on the Retraction Date. In the event that NovaScotiaco does not deliver a NovaScotiaco Call Notice within such five Business Day period, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in section the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares on the Retraction Date and in the manner otherwise contemplated in this section 6.

6.4 The Corporation or NovaScotiaco, as the case may be, shall deliver, or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver, to the relevant holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Corporation 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 Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares, certificates representing the Parent Common Shares (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance) registered in the name of the holder or in such other name as the holder may request, and, if applicable and on or before the payment date therefore, a cheque payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation or NovaScotiaco, as applicable, representing the aggregate Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, in payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, in each case, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom, and such delivery of such certificates and cheques on behalf of the Corporation or by NovaScotiaco, as the case may be, or by the Transfer Agent shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, to the extent that the same is represented by such share certificates and cheques (plus any tax deducted and withheld therefrom).

6.5 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 his proportionate part of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, shall not be made as provided in section 6.4, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, 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 the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Corporation shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Parent Common Shares so delivered.

6.6 Notwithstanding any other provision of this section 6, the Corporation shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law. If the Corporation 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 provided that NovaScotiaco shall not have exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to the Retracted Shares, the Corporation 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 at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Corporation. In any case in which the redemption by the Corporation of Retracted Shares would be contrary to solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with section 6.2 of these Share Provisions on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to section 6.2 hereof. Provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in section 6.7, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to section 6.2 of these Share Provisions as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law shall be deemed by giving the Retraction Request to require Parent to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by Parent to such holder of the Purchase Price for such Retracted Share, all as more specifically provided in the Voting and Exchange Agency Agreement.

6.7 A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Corporation before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw the 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 NovaScotiaco shall be deemed to have been revoked.

7.1 Subject to applicable law, and provided NovaScotiaco has not exercised the Redemption Call Right, the Corporation shall on the Redemption Date redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per Exchangeable Share (the "Redemption Price") equal to (i) the Current Market Price of a Parent Common Share on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (which shall be satisfied in full by the Corporation causing to be delivered to each holder of Exchangeable Shares one Parent Common Share for each Exchangeable Share held by such holder), plus, (ii) the Unpaid Dividend Amount, if any, on each such Exchangeable Share held by such holder on any dividend record date which occurred prior to the Redemption Date.

7.2 In any case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares under this section 7, the Corporation shall, at least 60 days before the' Redemption Date (other than a Redemption Date established in connection with an 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 Corporation or the purchase by NovaScotiaco 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 an Parent Control Transaction, an Exchangeable Share Voting Event and an Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, the written notice of redemption by the Corporation or the purchase by NovaScotiaco 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 of the Corporation 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.

7.3 On or after the Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by NovaScotiaco of the Redemption Call Right the Corporation shall 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 at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Corporation in such notice 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 Act and the articles and by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent may reasonably require. Payment of the total 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 Corporation or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Corporation in such notice, on behalf of the Corporation of certificates representing Parent Common Shares (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance) and, if applicable, a cheque of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation in payment of any such Unpaid Dividend Amount, in each case, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. 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, 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 total Redemption Price have been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Corporation 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 for 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 agent named in such notice, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom. Upon the later of such deposit being made and the Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or Redemption Date, as the case may be, 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 said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or deposit of the total Redemption, less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Parent Common Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf.
