2) participate in the property, profits and surplus assets of the Company and for this purpose receive any dividend declared
3) share in the residue of assets upon dissolution of the Company.
CLASS B SHARES
An unlimited number of Class B shares, with no par value and having the following rights, privileges and restrictions:
1) Dividend and participation. The bearers of B shares equally with the bearers of class A shares, are entitled to:
a) share in the property, profits or surplus assets of the Company and for this purpose receive any dividend declared by the Company;
b) share in the residue of assets upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
2) Right to vote. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the bearers of Class B shares do not have the right on this basis alone to vote at the meetings of the shareholders of the Company nor the right to attend them or receive notice of such meetings.
3) Right of redemption. Subject to the provisions of section 123.54 of the Québec Companies Act, the bearers of Class B shares have at all times upon written request the right to require the redemption by the Company of the Class B shares they hold at a price equal to the amount paid for these Class B shares plus any dividend declared but not paid. The written notice must specify the number of Class B shares to be redeemed and be accompanied by the share certificates representing the shares to be redeemed.
The Company shall proceed with the redemption of such shares and pay the redemption price no later than fifteen (15) days after receiving the notice mentioned above.
The Class B shares so redeemed shall be cancelled on the date of their redemption, and the Company shall reduce the subdivision of its issued and paid-up share capital account attached to the Class B shares in accordance with the provisions of section 123.51 of the Québec Companies Act.
SCHEDULE B
The shares of the Company may not be transferred without the consent of the directors, expressed in a duly adopted resolution.
SCHEDULE C

2. RESTRICTIONS ON THE TRANSFER OF SECURITIES
As long as the Company shall have the status of a « private issuer » as defined in Regulation 45-106 on Prospectus and Registration Exemptions, all transfers of securities of the Company (other than non-convertible debt securities) shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company as evidenced by a resolution passed by them or, as the case may be, to any restrictions contained in securities’ holders agreements.
