the certificate or certificates representing the same.

From and after the date of redemption of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares, the certificates for the shares so redeemed shall be cancelled and such shares may not be reissued. 6. MODIFICATION OF SERIES 2 CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES The Corporation shall not without, but may from time to time with, the approval of the holder of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares then outstanding given as hereinafter specified (in addition to any other sanction which may be necessary) and confirmed by articles of amendment amend, vary, alter, change, cancel or abrogate any of the preferences, rights, privileges, priorities, limitations, conditions or restrictions attaching to the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares as a series. The approval of the holder of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares with respect to any matters which may be required to be approved by him may be given in writing by the holder 7. MANNER OF EXERCISING CONVERSION The conversion of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares may only be effected by the surrender of the certificate representing the same at any time during normal business hours at the office of the solicitors for the Corporation in exchange for the Common Shares into which the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares have been converted. 8. ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION BASIS The Conversion Basis shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner following: (a) If at a time hereafter, the outstanding Common Shares shall be subdivided, redivided or changed into a greater number or consolidated into a lesser number of Common Shares, or if the Common Shares are reclassified, upon the conversion of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares, the holder shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of pre-capital reorganization Common Shares to be acquired by him, but for the same aggregate consideration payable therefor, the aggregate number of shares of the appropriate classes that the holder of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares would have been entitled to receive as a result of such subdivision, redivision, change, consolidation or reclassification if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, it had been the registered holder of the pre-capital reorganization Common Shares to have been received on conversion of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares and the number of Common Shares shall be amended accordingly; (b) If at any time hereafter while the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares are outstanding, there is a capital reorganization of the Corporation not covered in paragraph 8 hereof or a consolidation or merger of the Corporation as or substantially as an entirety with or into any other corporation, the holder of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive and shall accept in lieu of the number of precapital reorganization Common Shares it would have received on conversion, the number of Common Shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or to which such sale may be made, as the case may be, that the holder of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares would have been entitled to receive on such capital reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale if, on the record date or the effective date thereof, it had been the registered holder of the number of the pre-capital reorganization Common Shares it would have received on conversion. 9. RULES REGULATING CALCULATIONS OF ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION BASIS For the purposes of paragraph 8 hereof: (a) in case a state of fact occurs wherein, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the provisions of paragraph 8 hereof are not strictly applicable, or if strictly applicable, would not fairly protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares in accordance with intent and purposes hereof, then the Board of Directors of the Corporation may make an adjustment in the application of such provisions so as to protect only the conversion rights attaching to the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares; and (b) if and whenever any action is taken which requires an increase or decrease in the Conversion Basis, the Corporation shall forthwith notify the holder of the Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares. 10. PAYMENT FOR FRACTIONAL SHARES Upon the conversion of any Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of such Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares to be converted. In any case where a fraction of a Common Share is involved the Corporation may adjust such fractional interest by payment by cheque of an amount equal to the then current market value of such fractional interest computed on the basis of the last sale price (or last bid price if there be no sales) for the Common Shares on any public market on which the Common Shares trade on the business day on which all such public markets were open next preceding the date of such surrender; 11. TAXES ON CONVERSION The issuance of certificates for Common Shares upon the conversion of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares shall be made without charge to the converting holder of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Shares in respect of the issuance of such certificates or the Common Shares represented thereby; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be imposed upon the person to whom such Common Shares are issued in
