General

The holders of the Series 51 Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive cumulative preferred cash dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, out of moneys of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, at the rates and times herein provided. Dividends on the Series 51 Preference Shares shall accrue on a daily basis from and including the date of issue hereof, shall be payable monthly and shall be calculated on a 365 or 366 day basis, being the actual number of days in the year in which the amount is to be ascertained. Payment of the dividend on the Series 51 Preference Shares payable on any Dividend Payment Date (less any tax required to be deducted) shall be made by cheque at par in lawful money of Canada payable at any branch in Canada of the Corporation’s bankers for the time being or by any other reasonable means the Corporation deems available.

Dividends declared on the Series 51 Preference Shares shall (except in case of redemption in which case payment of dividends shall be made on surrender of the certificate representing the Series 51 Preference Shares to be redeemed) be paid by posting in a postage paid envelope addressed to each holder of the Series 51 Preference Shares at the last address of such holder as it appears on the securities register of the Corporation, or, in the case of joint holders, to the address of that one whose name appears first in the securities register of the Corporation as one of such joint holders, or, in the event of the address of any holder not so appearing, then to the address of such holder last known to the Corporation, a cheque for such dividends (less any tax required to be deducted) payable to the order of such holder, or in the case of joint holders, to the order of all such holders failing written instructions from them to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any dividend cheque may be delivered by the Corporation to a holder of Series 51 Preference Shares at his address as aforesaid. The posting or delivery of such cheque on or before the date on which such dividend is to be paid to a holder of Series 51 Preference Shares shall be deemed to be payment and shall satisfy and discharge all liabilities for the payment of such dividend to the extent of the sum represented thereby (plus the amount of any tax required to be deducted as aforesaid) unless such cheque is not paid on due presentation. Subject to applicable law, dividends which are represented by a cheque which has not been presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remain unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which they were declared to be payable shall be forfeited to the Corporation.

If on any date on which dividends are to be paid, the dividends accrued to such date are not paid in full on all of the Series 51 Preference Shares then outstanding, such dividends, or the unpaid part thereof, shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient monies properly applicable to the payment of such dividends.

- 11 -

The holders of Series 51 Preference Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends other than or in excess of the cumulative preferential cash dividends herein provided for. Dividends in respect of the Series 51 Preference Shares shall be payable monthly at the Annual Dividend Rate as calculated from time to time. Accordingly, on each Dividend Payment Date the dividend payable on the Series 51 Preference Shares shall be the amount (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (1/1000) of one cent) obtained by multiplying $22.00 by the Annual Dividend Rate applicable to the Month preceding such Dividend Payment Date and by dividing the product by twelve. The record date for the purpose of determining holders of Series 51 Preference Shares entitled to receive dividends on each Dividend Payment Date shall be the last Trading Day of the next preceding Month. In the event of the redemption or purchase of the Series 51 Preference Shares as contemplated by Section 2 hereof, the amount of the dividend which has accrued during the Month in which such redemption, purchase or distribution occurs shall be the amount (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (1/1000) of one cent) calculated by multiplying:

(a)

the amount obtained by multiplying $22.00 by one-twelfth (1/12) of the Annual Dividend Rate applicable to the preceding Month

(b)

a fraction of which the numerator is the number of days elapsed in the Month in which such redemption, purchase or distribution occurs up to but not including the date of such event and the denominator of which the number of days in that Month.

The Corporation shall as promptly as practicable calculate the Designated Percentage for each Month and give notice thereof to all stock exchanges in Canada on which the Series 51 Preference Shares are listed for trading or if the Series 51 Preference Shares are not listed on a stock exchange in Canada to the Investment Dealers Association of Canada.

2.	Rights on Liquidation

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of assets of the Corporation for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of the Series 51 Preference Shares shall be entitled to receive $22.00 per Series 51 Preference Share together with all dividends accrued and unpaid up to but excluding the date of payment or distribution, before any amounts shall be paid or any assets of the Corporation distributed to the holders of any shares ranking junior to the Series 51 Preference Shares. Upon payment of such amounts, the holders of the Series 51 Preference Shares shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

3.	Redemption at the Option of the Corporation

Subject to applicable law and Section 5 hereof, upon giving notice as hereinafter provided, the Corporation may redeem at any time all, but not less than all, the outstanding Series 51 Preference Shares, on payment of the Applicable Redemption Price for each such share to be redeemed, in each case, together with accrued and unpaid dividends up to but excluding the date fixed for redemption, the whole constituting the redemption price.

- 12 -

Such notice shall set out the Conversion Date and shall be given not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days prior to the applicable Conversion Date.

If the Corporation gives notice as provided in Section 3 to the holders of the Series 51 Preference Shares of the redemption of all the Series 51 Preference Shares, the Corporation shall not be required to give notice as provided in this Section 4.1 to the holders of the Series 51 Preference Shares of a Selected Percentage (as defined in Section 2.1 of the articles of the Corporation relating to the Series 52 Preference Shares) for the Series 52 Preference Shares, of the conversion right or of the Conversion Date and the right of any holder of Series 51 Preference Shares to convert such Series 51 Preference Shares as herein provided shall cease and terminate in that event.

- 14 -

4.3	Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege

The conversion of Series 51 Preference Shares may be effected by surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the same not earlier than 45 days prior to a Conversion Date but not later than the close of business on the 14th day preceding a Conversion Date during usual business hours at any office of any transfer agent of the Corporation at which the Series 51 Preference Shares are transferable accompanied by: (i) payment or evidence of payment of the tax (if any) payable as provided in this Section 4.3; and (ii) a written instrument of surrender in form satisfactory to the Corporation duly executed by the holder, or his attorney duly authorized in writing, in which instrument such holder may also elect to convert part only of the Series 51 Preference Shares represented by such certificate or certificates not theretofore called for redemption in which event the Corporation shall issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the Series 51 Preference Shares represented by such certificate or certificates which have not been converted.

In the event the Corporation is required to convert all remaining outstanding Series 51 Preference Shares into Series 52 Preference Shares on the applicable Conversion Date as provided for in Section 4.2, the Series 51 Preference Shares, in respect of which the holders have not previously elected to convert, shall be converted on the Conversion Date into Series 52 Preference Shares and the holders thereof shall be deemed to be holders of Series 52 Preference Shares at the close of business on the Conversion Date and shall be entitled, upon surrender during usual business hours at any office of any transfer agent of the Corporation at which the Series 51 Preference Shares were transferable of the certificate or certificates representing Series 51 Preference Shares not previously surrendered for conversion, to receive a certificate or certificates representing the same number of Series 52 Preference Shares in the manner and subject to the terms and provisions as provided in this Section 4.3.

As promptly as practicable after the applicable Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver, or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the holder of the Series 51 Preference Shares 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 Series 52 Preference Shares and the number of remaining Series 51 Preference Shares, if any, to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the Conversion Date, so that the rights of the holder of such Series 51 Preference Shares as the holder thereof shall cease at such time and the person or persons entitled to receive Series 52 Preference Shares upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as having become the holder or holders of record of such Series 52 Preference Shares at such time.

- 15 -

The holder of any Series 51 Preference Share 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 Series 52 Preference Shares after such record date and on or before the date of the payment of such dividend. The issuance of certificates for the Series 52 Preference Shares upon the conversion of Series 51 Preference Shares shall be made without charge to the converting holders of Series 51 Preference Shares for any fee or tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates or the Series 52 Preference Shares represented thereby; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be imposed upon the person or persons to whom such Series 52 Preference Shares are issued in respect of the issuance of such Series 52 Preference Shares or the certificate therefor or which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name or names other than that of the holder of the Series 51 Preference Shares converted, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

The conversion of Series 52 Preference Shares may be effected by surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the same not earlier than 45 days prior to a Conversion Date but not later than the close of business on the 14th day prior to a Conversion Date during usual business hours at any office of any transfer agent of the Corporation at which the Series 52 Preference Shares are transferable accompanied by: (i) payment or evidence of payment of the tax (if any) payable as provided in this Section 4.3; and (ii) a written instrument of surrender in form satisfactory to the Corporation duly executed by the holder, or his attorney duly authorized in writing, in which instrument such holder may also elect to convert part only of the Series 52 Preference Shares represented by such certificate or certificates not theretofore called for redemption in which event the Corporation shall issue and deliver or cause to be delivered to such holder, at the expense of the Corporation, a new certificate representing the Series 52 Preference Shares represented by such certificate or certificates which have not been converted.

-24-

In the event the Corporation is required to convert all remaining outstanding Series 52 Preference Shares into Series 51 Preference Shares on the applicable Conversion Date as provided for in Section 4.2, the Series 52 Preference Shares in respect of which the holders have not previously elected to convert, shall be converted on the Conversion Date into Series 51 Preference Shares and the holders thereof shall be deemed to be holders of Series 51 Preference Shares at the close of business on the Conversion Date and shall be entitled, upon surrender during usual business hours at any office of any transfer agent of the Corporation at which the Series 52 Preference Shares were transferable of the certificate or certificates representing Series 52 Preference Shares not previously surrendered for conversion, to receive a certificate or certificates representing the same number of Series 51 Preference Shares in the manner and subject to the terms and provisions as provided in this Section 4.3.

As promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall issue and deliver, or cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the holder of the Series 52 Preference Shares 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 Series 51 Preference Shares and the number of remaining Series 52 Preference Shares, if any, to which such holder is entitled. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the Conversion Date, so that the rights of the holder of such Series 52 Preference Shares as the holder thereof shall cease at such time and the person or persons entitled to receive Series 51 Preference Shares upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as having become the holder or holders of record of such Series 51 Preference Shares at such time.

The holder of any Series 52 Preference Share 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 Series 51 Preference Shares after such record date and on or before the date of the payment of such dividend.

The issuance of certificates for the Series 51 Preference Shares upon the conversion of Series 52 Preference Shares shall be made without charge to the converting holders of Series 52 Preference Shares for any fee or tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates or the Series 51 Preference Shares represented thereby; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be imposed upon the person or persons to whom such Series 51 Preference Shares are issued in respect of the issuance of such Series 51 Preference Shares or the certificate therefor or which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in the name or names other than that of the holder of the Series 52 Preference Shares converted, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

4.4	Status of Converted Series 52 Preference Shares

(e)

the Corporation shall not issue any additional Class A Preference Shares or any shares ranking on a parity with the Series 52 Preference Shares;

unless, in each such case, all dividends on outstanding Series 52 Preference Shares accrued up to and including the dividend payable for the last completed period for which dividends were payable shall have been declared and paid.

6.	Purchase for Cancellation

8.	Modifications

The provisions attaching to the Series 52 Preference Shares as a series may be repealed, altered, modified or amended from time to time with such approval as may then be required by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), any such approval to be given in accordance with Section 9.

None of the series provisions of the articles of the Corporation relating to the Series 52 Preference Shares shall be amended or otherwise changed unless, contemporaneously therewith, the series provisions, if any, relating to the Series 51 Preference Shares are, to the extent deemed required by the Corporation, amended or otherwise changed in the same proportion and in the same manner.

9.	Approval of Holders of Series 52 Preference Shares

9.1

9.2	Formalities, etc.

The proxy rules applicable to, the formalities to be observed in respect of the giving notice of, and the formalities to be observed in respect of the conduct of, any meeting or any adjourned meeting of holders of Series 52 Preference Shares shall be those from time to time prescribed by the by-laws of the Corporation with respect to meetings of shareholders or, if not so prescribed, as required by law.

11.

(a)

(b)

fulfil the requirement to send such cheque or such share certificate by arranging for the delivery thereof to such holder by the transfer agent for the Series 52 Preference Shares at its principal offices in the cities of Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, and such cheque and/or share certificate shall be deemed to have been sent on the date on which notice of such arrangement shall have been given as provided in (a) above, provided that as soon as the Board of Directors determines that mail service is no longer interrupted or threatened to be interrupted, such cheque or share certificate, if not theretofore delivered to such holder, shall be sent by mail as herein provided. In the event that the Corporation is required to mail such cheque or share certificate, such mailing shall be made by prepaid mail to the registered address of each person who at the date of mailing is a registered holder and who is entitled to receive such cheque or share certificate.

-28-

(b)

(c)

in the event that any date on which any dividend on the Series 52 Preference Shares is payable by the Corporation, or any date on or by which any other action is required to be taken by the Corporation or the holders of Series 52 Preference Shares hereunder, is not a business day (as hereinafter defined), then such dividend shall be payable, or such other action shall be required to be taken, on or by the next succeeding day that is a business day.
