We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value, an unlimited number of Class A common shares without par value, an unlimited number of Class B common shares without par value, an unlimited number of Class A preferred shares without par value and an unlimited number of class A, Series 2 preferred shares without par value. Only the Class B common shares are being registered hereunder. We may determine to change the identifying name of the Class B common shares to “Common Shares”.
 
Class B Common Shares
 
Holders of Class B common shares may receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors, subject to the preferential dividend rights of any other classes or series of preferred shares issued and outstanding.  In no event may a dividend be declared or paid on the Class B common shares if payment of the dividend would cause the realizable value of our assets to be less than the aggregate of our liabilities.
 
Holders of Class B common shares will be entitled to one vote per share at any meeting of shareholders of any class of our common shares, and in general and subject to applicable law, all matters will be determined by a majority of votes cast, other than fundamental changes with respect to our company.
 
In the event of any distribution of our assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of our assets among our shareholders for the purpose of winding-up our affairs (the “Liquidation Distribution”), the Class B common shareholders shall be entitled, in the event of such Liquidation Distribution, to receive, before any Liquidation Distribution is made to the holders of common shares, Class A common shares, or any of our other classes of shares ranking junior to the Class B common shares, if any, but after any prior rights of any preferred shares, the stated capital with respect to each Class B common share held by them, together with all declared and unpaid dividends (if any and if preferential) thereon, up to the date of such Liquidation Distribution, and thereafter the Class B common shareholders shall rank pari passu with all other classes of common shares in connection with the Liquidation Distribution.
