                 holders  shall  not  be  entitled  to  share any further in the
                 distribution  of  the  profits,   property  or  assets  of  the

        (d)     The redemption price for each Share shall be a fixed amount, the

                referred to as the "Redemption Amount;"






        (e)      By  resolution of the  Directors, all or any part of the Shares
                 at any time outstanding  may,  at any  time  and  from  time to

                 be  purchased by the Corporation on the date  fixed by such
                 resolution,  at an amount  equal to the Redemption Amount;

        (g)      The Corporation shall within thirty days of receipt of a notice
                 in writing from any holder of the Shares setting out:

                 (i)   the number of Shares to be redeemed or purchased; and

                 (ii)  the  chartered  bank or trust  company in the city in
                       which the registered office of the Corporation is located
                       to which any amount on the redemption or purchase is to
                       be paid,

                purchase or redeem the number of Shares described in that notice
                for an amount equal to the  Redemption  Amount  times the number
                of Shares to be  redeemed  or purchased;

        (h)      If  notice  is  given  by any holder  requiring a redemption or
                 repurchase or if the Directors  resolve  to  redeem or purchase
                 any of the  Shares,  then  an  amount  sufficient  to redeem or
                 purchase those Shares to  be redeemed  or  purchased  shall  be
                 deposited  by  the  Corporation  with  any  trust  company   or
                 chartered bank, to be specified in the notice  or  specified in
                 the Directors' Resolution,  on or before the  date so fixed for
                 the redemption or purchase.  The  holder  shall  have no rights
                 against the Corporation in respect to these Shares except, upon
                 surrender  of  certificates  for  Shares,  to  receive  payment
                 thereout  of the  money so deposited;

        (i)      If part only of the then  outstanding  Shares is at any time to
                 be  redeemed  or purchased by resolution of  the Directors, the
                 Shares to  be  redeemed  or  purchased  shall be taken from the
                 holders of the Shares pro  rata  according  to  the  number  of
                 Shares held by each,  except in cases where shareholders waive,
                 in writing, the right in respect of such partial  redemption or
                 purchase.  If this procedure results in  leaving  a  fractional
                 part of a Share  outstanding,  such  fractional part shall also
                 be redeemed or purchased by the Corporation;

        (j)      A Share  cannot  be redeemed or purchased for an amount greater
                 than  the Redemption Amount nor can it be redeemed or purchased
                 for an amount less than the lesser of the Redemption Amount and
                 the net realizable  value,  in cash, of the assets of the
                 Corporation at the time of redemption or purchase available to
                 be distributed to the holder of that Share;

       (k)       Notwithstanding paragraph (d), if the fair market value of any
                 property received
as  consideration  for the  issuance  of any Shares  should be  determined,  the
"Adjusted Fair Market Value," whether:

                 (i)   by a tribunal or court of competent jurisdiction;

                 (ii)  by agreement between the Corporation  and the  Department
                       of  National  Revenue;  or

                 (iii) by  agreement between the Corporation and the holders of
                       the Shares,

                 to be different  from the fair market value  determined  at the
                 time  such  Shares  were  issued, the "Fair Market Value," then
                 subject to  the Business  Corporations Act, the  Directors,  on
                 behalf of the  Corporation,  shall ensure that the Fixed Amount
                 shall  be  increased  or decreased, as the case requires, by an
                 amount equal to the difference between the Adjusted Fair Market
                 Value and the Fair Market  Value divided by the original number
                 of Shares issued.   This adjustment shall be made retroactively
                 effective as of the date of issuance of the Shares;

                                      -3-


        (l)     If an  adjustment  is  made  to the  Fixed  Amount  pursuant  to
                paragraph (k), and if the Directors  decide an adjustment to the
                stated  capital of the Shares is  required,  then subject to the
                provisions of the Business  Corporations Act, the stated capital
                of the Shares  shall be  adjusted  retroactively  to the date or
                dates of issuance of the Shares and to the amount  determined by
                the Directors;

        (m)     If  dividends  are paid on the Shares  between the date of issue
                and the actual date of any adjustment  provided for in paragraph
                (k), then forthwith  upon any adjustment  being made pursuant to
                paragraph (k), an amount shall be paid by the  Corporation or by
                the recipient of the dividend on the Shares, as the case may be.
                The amount payable shall be equal to the difference  between the
                amount of dividend  actually received and the amount of dividend
                which would have been  received if the  adjustment,  pursuant to
                paragraph (k), had actually been made at the date of issuance of
                the Shares;

        (n)     If any Shares are  redeemed  or  purchased,  pursuant  to any of
                paragraphs  (e),  (f) or  (g),  before  the  actual  date of any
                adjustment  provided for in paragraph  (k), then  forthwith upon
                any adjustment being made,  pursuant to paragraph (k), an amount
                shall be paid by the Corporation or the person whose Shares were
                redeemed or  purchased,  as the case may be. The amount  payable
                shall be equal to the difference  between the Redemption  Amount
                actually  paid on the  redemption  or purchase of the Shares and
                the  Redemption  Amount  which  would  have  been  paid  on  the
                redemption  or purchase of the redeemed or  purchased  Shares if
                the adjustment  pursuant to paragraph (k) had actually been made
                at the date of issuance of the redeemed Shares;

        (o)     The Directors shall not allot and issue any Shares or approve of
                the  transfer  of  any  Shares  unless  the  subscriber  or  the
                transferee,  as the case may be, is made aware of the provisions
                of paragraphs (k), (I), (m) and (n) hereof and agrees, in a form
                and manner  satisfactory  to the  Directors,  to be bound by and
                comply  with the  provisions  of these  paragraphs.  Each  Share
                certificate  issued  shall  contain a reference  that the holder
                thereof is subject to the provisions of paragraphs (k), (1), (m)
                and (n) hereof;

        (p)     The Shares are created  pursuant to and in accordance  with the
                exchange of property  provisions of subsection 26(3) of the
                Business  Corporations Act, being Chapter B-15 of the 1981
                Statutes of Alberta, as amended;

        (q)     No distribution shall be made to the holders of any of the Class
                A, B or C shares of the Corporation if  such distribution  would
                result  in the Corporation  having  insufficient  net  assets to
                redeem  or purchase  the Shares. For the purpose of this clause,


                (i)   "net assets" of the Corporation means the amount for which
                       the assets of the Corporation  could be realized in cash
                       at that time less the liabilities of the Corporation at
                       that time; and

                (ii)   "distribution"  means any declaration,  payment or
                        distribution to or to the  account of any holders of any
                        Class A, B or C shares of the Corporation, now or
                        hereafter outstanding by way of:

                        (1)     dividends in cash or specie, except
                                dividends payable in shares of any class of
                                share of the Corporation; or

                        (2)     purchase, redemption or other
                                retirement of any outstanding shares except
                                when such purchase, redemption
                                or other retirement is paid for out of the
                                proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for
                                that purpose.
