11

(b)           In the case of redemption of Class A shares under the provisions of subclause 3(a) hereof, the corporation shall, unless waived in writing by the holders of all of the Class A shares, at least 10 days before the date specified for redemption deliver or mail to each person who at the date of mailing is a registered holder of Class A shares to be redeemed a notice in writing of the intention of the corporation to redeem such Class A shares.  Such notice shall be delivered or mailed by letter, postage prepaid, addressed to each such shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation or in the event of the address of any such shareholder not so appearing then to the last known address of such shareholder or if delivered, delivered to each such shareholder at such address; provided, however, that accidental failure to give any such notice to one or more of such shareholders shall not affect the validity of such redemption.  Such notice shall set out the Redemption Amount and the date on which redemption is to take place and if part only of the shares held by the person to whom it is addressed is to be redeemed the number thereof to be so redeemed; provided, however, that if a part only of the Class A shares for the time being outstanding is to be redeemed, the shares so to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata (disregarding fractions) unless otherwise agreed in writing by the holders of all of the Class A shares.  On or after the date so specified for redemption, the corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the registered holders of the Class A shares to be redeemed the Redemption Amount thereof on presentation and surrender at the registered office of the corporation or any other place designated in such notice of the certificates representing the Class A shares called for redemption.  Such payment shall be made by cheque payable at par at any branch of the corporation’s bankers in Canada.  If less than all of the Class A shares represented by any certificate are redeemed the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate for that number of Class A shares represented by the original certificate which are not redeemed.  From and after the date specified for redemption in any such notice the holders of the Class A shares called for redemption shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof unless payment of the Redemption Amount shall not be made upon presentation of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of shareholders shall remain unaffected.  The corporation shall have the right at any time after the mailing of notice of its intention to redeem any Class A shares to deposit the Redemption Amount of the shares so called for redemption or of such of the said shares represented by certificates as have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption to a special account in any chartered bank or in any trust company in Canada, named in such notice, to be paid without interest to or to the order of the respective holders of such Class A shares called for redemption upon presentation and surrender to such bank or trust company of the certificates representing the same.  Upon such deposit being made or upon the date specified for redemption in such notice, whichever is the later, the Class A shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or such redemption date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving without interest their proportionate part of the total Redemption Amount so deposited against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them respectively and any interest on the amount so deposited shall be for the account of the corporation.  If any part of the total Redemption Amount so deposited has not been paid to or to the order of the respective holders of the Class A shares which were called for redemption within two years after the date upon which such deposit was made or the date specified for redemption in the said notice, whichever is the later, such balance remaining in the said special account shall be returned to the corporation without prejudice to the rights of the holders of the shares being redeemed to claim the Redemption Amount without interest from the corporation.

12

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the corporation shall each year, within 30 days following receipt by the corporation of the audited financial statements of the corporation for the corporation's preceding financial year, redeem in accordance with subclause 3(b) hereof that number of Class A shares (disregarding fractions) as is determined by dividing twenty percent (20%) of the Net Profits of the corporation (as hereinafter defined) for such preceding financial year by $100.  If such number of Class A shares so determined to be redeemed is more than the total number of Class A shares then outstanding, the corporation shall redeem all such Class A shares then outstanding within such 30 day period.  “Net Profits of the corporation” means the after tax profits determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, where relevant, consistently applied.
