Sequential Page No: 173 of 350
Exhibits: Page 123

meeting, waive notice of a meeting of shareholders, and attendance of any such person at a meeting of shareholders is a waiver of notice of the meeting, except where he attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called. At such a meeting any business may be transacted which the Corporation at a meeting of shareholders may transact. If the meeting is held at a place outside Canada, shareholders not present or duly represented, but who have waived notice of or otherwise consented to such meeting, shall also be deemed to have consented to the meeting being held at such place.

7.06 List of Shareholders Entitled to Notice - For every meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare a list of shareholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the number of shares entitled to vote at the meeting held by each shareholder.

If no record date is fixed, the shareholders listed shall be those registered at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which notice of the meeting is given. The list shall be available for examination by any shareholder during usual business hours at the registered office of the Corporation or at the place where the securities register is kept and at the place where the meeting is held.

7.07 Record Date for Notice - The board may by resolution fix in advance a record date, preceding the date of any meeting of shareholders by not more than 50 nor less than 21 days, for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of such meeting. Notice of every such record date shall be given not less than 7 days before such record date by newspaper advertisement and to each stock exchange in Canada on which shares of the Corporation are listed for trading, all in the manner provided in the Act.

Exhibits: Page 123

7.10 Quorum - A quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of shareholders shall be two persons present in person, each being a shareholder entitled to vote thereat or a duly appointed proxy holder for an absent shareholder so entitled. If a quorum is present at the opening of any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders present or represented by proxy may proceed with the business of the meeting notwithstanding that a quorum is not present throughout the meeting. If a quorum is not present at the opening of any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders present or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to a fixed time and place but may not transact any other business.

7.11 Right to Vote - Subject to the provisions of the Act as to authorized representatives of shareholders that are bodies corporate or associations, at any meeting of shareholders every person who is named in the list referred to in Section 7.06 shall be entitled to vote the shares shown thereon opposite his name except to the extent hereafter provided where the Corporation has fixed a record date in respect of such meeting pursuant to Section 7.07. In that event, if a person named in such list has transferred any of his shares after such record date and if the transferee, upon producing properly endorsed certificates evidencing such shares or otherwise establishing to the Corporation that he owns such shares, demands not later than 10 days before the meeting that his name be included in the list, the transferee shall be entitled to vote the transferred shares at the meeting. In the absence of a list prepared as aforesaid in respect of any meeting of shareholders, every person shall be entitled to vote at that meeting who at the time of such meeting is entered in the securities register as the holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at that meeting.

7.12 Proxies - Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may by means of a proxy appoint a proxy holder, or one or more alternate proxy holders, who need not be shareholders, to attend and act at the meeting in the manner and to the extent authorized and with the authority conferred by the proxy. A proxy shall be in writing executed by the shareholder or his attorney and shall conform with the requirements of the Act.

7.13 Time for Deposit of Proxies - The board may specify in a notice calling a meeting of shareholders a time not exceeding 48 hours, exclusive of non-business days, preceding the meeting or an adjournment thereof before which time proxies to be used at the meeting must be deposited. A proxy shall be acted upon only if, prior to the time so specified, it shall have been deposited with the Corporation or an agent thereof specified in such notice or, if no such time is specified in such notice, it has been received by the secretary of the Corporation or by the chairman of the meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting.

7.14 Joint Holders - If two or more persons hold shares jointly, any one of them present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of shareholders may, in the absence of the other or others, vote the shares; but if two or more of those persons are present in person or represented by proxy and vote, they shall vote as one of the shares jointly held by them.

7.15 Votes to Govern - At any meeting of shareholders, every question, unless otherwise required by the Articles or by-laws or by the Act, shall be determined by the majority of the votes cast on the question. In case of an equality of votes either upon a show of hands or upon a poll, the chairman of the meeting shall have a second or casting vote.

7.16 Show of Hands - Subject to the Act, every question at the meeting of shareholders shall be

Sequential Page No: 175 of 350
Exhibits: Page 123

decided by a show of hands unless a ballot thereon is required or demanded as hereinafter provided. Upon a show of hands every person who is present and entitled to vote shall have one vote. Whenever a vote by a show of hands shall have been taken upon a question, unless a ballot thereon is so required or demanded, a declaration by the chairman of the meeting that the vote upon the question has been carried or carried by a particular majority or not carried and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be prima facie evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against any resolution or other proceeding in respect of the said question, and the result of the vote so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders upon the said question.

7.17 Ballots - On any question proposed for consideration at a meeting of shareholders, and whether or not a show of hands has been taken thereon, any shareholder or proxy holder entitled to vote at the meeting may require or demand a ballot. A ballot so required or demanded shall be taken in such manner as the chairman shall direct. A requirement or demand for a ballot may be withdrawn at any time prior to the taking of the ballot. If a ballot is taken, each person present shall be entitled with respect to each share which he is entitled to vote at the meeting upon the question, to one vote or such greater number of votes as may be provided by the Articles, and the result of the ballot so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders upon the said question.

7.18 Adjournment - If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for less than 30 days, it shall not be necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the earliest meeting that is adjourned. If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as for an original meeting. Any business may be brought before or dealt with at the adjourned meeting which may have been brought before or dealt with at the original meeting.

7.19 Resolution in Writing - A resolution in writing signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the shareholders unless a written statement with respect to the subject matter of the resolution is submitted by a director or the auditor, if any, in accordance with the Act.
