ARTICLE 5

The Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall be delivered to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Corporation for the Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares. On and after the Liquidation Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their respective Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless payment of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of share certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Corporation shall have the right at any time on or after the Liquidation Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the Exchangeable Share Consideration in respect of the Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the Liquidation Date been surrendered by the holders thereof in a custodial account or for safekeeping, in the case of non-cash items, with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada. Upon such deposit being made, the rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares after such deposit shall be limited to receiving their proportionate share of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount for such Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If such payment or deposit of such Exchangeable Share Consideration is made in part in Class A Shares, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holders of the Class A Shares delivered to them.

Section 5.3   After the Corporation has satisfied its obligations to pay the holders of the Exchangeable Shares the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Amount per Exchangeable Share, such holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

Section 5.4   If ParentCo exercises the Liquidation Call Right, each holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be obligated to sell all the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder to ParentCo on the Liquidation Date on payment by ParentCo to the holder of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Call Purchase Price for each such share.

Section 6.1   A holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time, subject to (i) the exercise by ParentCo of the Retraction Call Right which, if exercised by ParentCo, shall be binding on the holders of Exchangeable Shares, (ii) the Transfer Restrictions, (iii) either the Corporation or ParentCo being subject to any trading 'blackout' or 'windows' period, and (iv) ParentCo determining, in its sole discretion, that the issuance of Class A Shares in a public offering in the United States of America would be inadvisable at such time or during such period as a result of application of any United States federal or state law or regulation, and otherwise upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 6, to require the Corporation to redeem any or all of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the Business Day following the date of the Retraction Request (the "Retraction Price") which as set forth in section 6.4 shall be fully paid and satisfied by the delivery by or on behalf of the Corporation of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing such holder's total Retraction Price. In connection with payment of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price, the Corporation shall be entitled to liquidate some of the Class A Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to the particular holder of Exchangeable Shares in order to fund any statutory withholding tax obligation. To effect such redemption, the holder shall present and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares the certificate or certificates representing the Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require, and together with a duly executed statement (the "Retraction Request") in the form of Schedule A hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Corporation:

(i)    specifying that the holder desires to have all or any number specified therein of the Exchangeable Shares represented by such certificate or certificates (the "Retracted Shares") redeemed by the Corporation;
     
(ii)   stating the Business Day on which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem the Retracted Shares (the "Retraction Date"), provided that such date shall be not less than five Business Days nor more than ten Business Days, or such other number of Business Days as the Corporation may determine, after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation and further provided that, in the event that no such Business Day is specified by the holder in the Retraction Request, the Retraction Date shall be deemed to be the fifth Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation;
     
(iii)   acknowledging the overriding right (the "Retraction Call Right") of ParentCo to purchase all but not less than all of the Retracted Shares directly from the holder and that the Retraction Request shall be deemed to be a revocable offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares in accordance with the Retraction Call Right on the terms and conditions set out in Section 6.3 below.

Section 6.2  Subject to the exercise by ParentCo of the Retraction Call Right, upon receipt by the Corporation in the manner specified in Section 6.l hereof of a certificate or certificates representing the number of Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with a Retraction Request as well as appropriate certificates or other assurances in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the Exchange Share Consideration, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7 hereof, the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date and shall cause to be delivered on the Retraction Date to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price with respect to such shares in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. If only a part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed or purchased by ParentCo pursuant to the Retraction Call Right, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued on the Retraction Date to the holder at the expense of the Corporation.

Section 6.3  Upon receipt by the Corporation of a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall immediately notify ParentCo thereof. In order to exercise the Retraction Call Right, ParentCo must notify the Corporation in writing of its determination to do so (the "ParentCo Call Notice") within two Business Days of such notification. If ParentCo does not so notify the Corporation within two Business Days, the Corporation will notify the holder as soon as possible thereafter that ParentCo will not exercise the Retraction Call Right. If ParentCo delivers the ParentCo Call Notice within such two Business Days, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7, the Retraction Request shall thereupon be considered only to be an offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to ParentCo in accordance with the Retraction Call Right. In such event, the Corporation shall not redeem the Retracted Shares and ParentCo shall purchase from such holder and such holder shall sell to ParentCo on the Retraction Date the Retracted Shares for a purchase price (the "Purchase Price") per share equal to the Retraction Price per share which as set forth in section 6.4, shall be fully paid and satisfied by the delivery by or on behalf of ParentCo of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing such holder's total Purchase Price. For the purposes of completing a purchase pursuant to the Retraction Call Right, ParentCo shall deposit with the Corporation, on or before the Retraction Date, the Exchangeable Share Consideration for each Exchangeable Share to be purchased. Provided that such Exchangeable Share Consideration has been so deposited with the Corporation, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Retracted Shares pursuant to the Retraction Call Right shall be deemed to have occurred as at the close of business on the Retraction Date and, for greater certainty, no redemption by the Corporation of such Retracted Shares shall take place on the Retraction Date. In the event that ParentCo does not deliver a ParentCo Call Notice within two Business Days or otherwise comply with these Exchangeable Share provisions in respect thereto, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7 hereof, the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares on the Retraction Date and in the manner otherwise contemplated in this Article 6.

Section 6.4   Subject to receipt by the Corporation or ParentCo of appropriate certificates or other assurances in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Corporation or ParentCo, as the case may be, shall deliver on the Retraction Date the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, to the relevant holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Corporation for the Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the holder's Retraction Request or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of Exchangeable Shares and such delivery of such Exchangeable Share Consideration shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability under this Article 6, except as to any cheque included therein which is not paid on due presentation.

Section 6.5   On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price or total Purchase Price, as the case may be, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, shall not be made, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, a the case may be, has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Corporation or purchased by ParentCo shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Class A Shares delivered to it.

Section 6.6   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, the Corporation shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to liquidity or solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law. If the Corporation believes that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on such date, and provided that ParentCo shall not have exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to the Retracted Shares, the Corporation shall only be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the holder at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Corporation. In any case in which the redemption by the Corporation of Retracted Shares would be contrary to liquidity or solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 6.2 of these share provisions on a pro rata basis in respect of Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed on the applicable Retraction Date, and shall issue on the Retraction Date to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof. Provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7 hereof, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6.2 of these share provisions as a result of liquidity or solvency requirements or applicable law shall be deemed by giving the Retraction Request to require ParentCo to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by ParentCo to such holder of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Purchase Price for each such Retracted Share, all as more specifically provided in the Exchange Trust Agreement, and ParentCo shall make such purchase.

Section 6.7   A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Corporation before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw its Retraction Request in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to ParentCo shall be deemed to have been revoked.

ARTICLE 7
REDEMPTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY THE CORPORATION

Section 7.1   Subject to applicable law, and if ParentCo does not exercise the Redemption Call Right which, if exercised by ParentCo, shall be binding on the holders of Exchangeable Shares, the Corporation shall on the Automatic Redemption Date redeem the whole of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Automatic Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price"), which as set forth in section 7.3 below, shall be fully paid and satisfied by delivery by or on behalf of the Corporation of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Redemption Price. In connection with payment of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price, the Corporation shall be entitled to liquidate some of the Class A Shares which would otherwise be deliverable to the particular holder of Exchangeable Shares in order to fund any statutory withholding tax obligation.

Section 7.2   In any case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares under this Article 7, the Corporation shall, at least 30 days before the Automatic Redemption Date, send or cause to be sent to each holder of Exchangeable Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Corporation or the purchase by ParentCo under the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be, of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder. Such notice shall set out the Automatic Redemption Date and, if applicable, particulars of the Redemption Call Right. Any failure by the Corporation to send any such notice in writing shall not affect the right of the Corporation to redeem the Exchangeable Shares on the Automatic Redemption Date.

Section 7.3   On the Automatic Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by ParentCo of the Redemption Call Right, and receipt by the Corporation of appropriate certificates or other assurances in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price for each such Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation in such notice of the certificates representing such Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require. The Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall be delivered to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register for the Exchangeable Shares. On the Automatic Redemption Date, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their respective Exchangeable Share Consideration unless payment of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Redemption Price for such Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until such Exchangeable Share Consideration has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Corporation shall have the right at any time after the automatic Redemption Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the Exchangeable Share Consideration with respect to the Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, or of such of the said Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption, in a custodial account or for safe keeping, in the case of non-cash items, with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada named in such notice. Upon the later of such deposit being made and the Automatic Redemption Date, the Exchangeable Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or Automatic Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving their respective Exchangeable Share Consideration so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or deposit of such Exchangeable Share Consideration, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Class A Shares delivered to them.

Section 7.4   If ParentCo exercises the Redemption Call Right, each holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be obligated to sell all the Exchangeable Shares held by the holder to ParentCo on the Automatic Redemption Date on payment by ParentCo to the holder of the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Call Purchase Price for each such share.

ARTICLE 8

The Notice of Exercise of Exchange Put Right shall be irrevocable unless the exchange is not completed in accordance herewith and shall constitute the holder's authorization to the Corporation (and such other persons aforesaid) to effect the exchange on behalf of the holder.

Section 8.3   The surrender by the holder of Exchangeable Shares under section 8.2 shall constitute the representation, warranty and covenant of the holder that the Exchangeable Shares so purchased are sold free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim or interest.

Section 8.4   If a part only of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate are to be sold and purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Exchange Put Right, a new certificate for the balance of such Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the holder at the expense of the Corporation within ten Business Days of the exercise of the Exchange Put Right.

Section 8.5   Upon receipt by the Corporation of the notice, certificates and other documents or instruments required by section 8.2, and receipt by the Corporation of appropriate certificates or other assurance in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered as soon as practicable but in no event later than the fifth Business Day after the Exchange Put Date, on behalf of ParentCo and subject to receipt by the Corporation from ParentCo of the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration, to the relevant holder at the address of the holder specified in the notice or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation, or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation, the Exchangeable Share Consideration. Delivery by ParentCo to the Corporation and by the Corporation to the holder of such Exchangeable Share Consideration shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the total applicable Exchangeable Share Price, except as to any cheque included therein which is not paid on due presentation.

Section 8.6   On and after the close of business on the day on which the Exchangeable Share Consideration is delivered to the holder of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 8.5, the holder of the Exchangeable Shares in respect of which the Exchange Put Right is exercised shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of such total price shall not be made, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such payment has been made.

ARTICLE 3
DIVIDENDS

Section 3.1   The Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each ParentCo Dividend Declaration Date, declare a dividend on each NZ Exchangeable Share, and a holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares shall, subject to applicable law, be entitled to receive on each ParentCo Dividend Payment Date, in each case, (a) in the case of a cash dividend declared on the Class A Shares, in an amount in cash for each NZ Exchangeable Share equal to the cash dividend declared on each Class A Share or (b) in the case of a share dividend declared on the Class A Share to be paid in Class A Shares, in such number of NZ Exchangeable Shares for each NZ Exchangeable Share as is equal to the number of Class A Shares to be paid on each Class A Share or (c) in the case of a dividend declared on the Class A Shares in property (other than cash or Class A Shares) in such type and amount of property for each NZ Exchangeable Share as is the same as the type and amount of property declared as a dividend on each Class A Share. Such dividends shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation.

Section 3.2   Cheques of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends contemplated by Subsection 3.1 (a) hereof and the sending of such a cheque to each holder of an NZ Exchangeable Share (less any tax required to be deducted and withheld from such dividends paid or credited by the Corporation) at the address of such holder according to the share register of the Corporation shall satisfy the cash dividends represented thereby unless the cheque is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the registered holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any share dividends contemplated by Subsection 3.1 (b) hereof and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of an NZ Exchangeable Share at the address for such holder according to the share register of the Corporation shall satisfy the share dividend represented thereby.

In all cases any such dividends shall be subject to any reduction or adjustment for tax required to be deducted and withheld from such dividends paid or credited by the Corporation. No holder of an NZ Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend which is represented by a cheque that has not been duly presented to the Corporation's bankers for payment or which otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of six years from the date on which such dividend was payable.

Section 3.3   The record date for the determination of the holders of NZ Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend declared on the NZ Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 hereof shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend declared on the Class A Shares.

Section 3.4   If on any payment date for any dividends declared on the NZ Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 hereof the dividends are not paid in full on all of the NZ Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends which remain unpaid shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or property properly applicable to the payment of such dividends.

Section 3.5   Except as provided in this Article 3, the holders of NZ Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends in respect thereof.

ARTICLE 4
CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS

Section 4.1   So long as any of the NZ Exchangeable Shares are outstanding, the Corporation shall not without, but may at any time with, the approval of the holders of the NZ Exchangeable

Shares given as specified in Section 10.2 of these share provisions at any time amend the articles or by-laws of the Corporation in a manner which would prejudicially affect the holders of NZ Exchangeable Shares in any material respect.

ARTICLE 5
DISTRIBUTION ON LIQUIDATION

Section 5.1   In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, a holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to receive from the assets of the Corporation in respect of each NZ Exchangeable Share held by such holder on the effective date of such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up (the "Liquidation Date"), before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the NZ Exchangeable Shares, an amount equal to the NZ Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Liquidation Date (the "Liquidation Amount") which, as set forth in section 5.2, shall be fully paid and satisfied by the delivery by or on behalf of the Corporation of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing such holder's total Liquidation Amount. In connection with payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount, the Corporation shall be entitled to liquidate some of the Class A Shares which would otherwise be deliverable to the particular holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares in order to fund any statutory withholding tax obligation.

Section 5.2   As soon as practicable but in no event later than 5 Business Days after the Liquidation Date, and subject to (i) the exercise by ParentCo of the Liquidation Call Right, (ii) the Transfer Restrictions, (iii) either the Corporation or ParentCo being subject to any trading 'blackout' or 'windows' period, and (iv) ParentCo determining, in its sole discretion, that the issuance of Class A Shares in a public offering in the United States of America would be inadvisable at such time or during such period as a result of application of any United States federal or state law or regulation, and receipt by the Corporation of appropriate certificates or other assurances in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the NZ Exchangeable Shares the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Amount for each such NZ Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such NZ Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of NZ Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Corporation or such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of the NZ Exchangeable Shares. The NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount for such NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be delivered to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Corporation for the NZ Exchangeable Shares or by holding for pick up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of NZ Exchangeable Shares. On and after the Liquidation Date, the holders of the NZ Exchangeable Shares shall cease to be holders of such NZ Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their respective NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount for such NZ Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of share certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Corporation shall have the right at any time on or after the Liquidation Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration in respect of the NZ Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the Liquidation Date been surrendered by the holders thereof in a custodial account or for safekeeping, in the case of non-cash items, with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada. Upon such deposit being made, the rights of the holders of NZ Exchangeable Shares after such deposit shall be limited to receiving their proportionate share of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Liquidation Amount for such NZ Exchangeable Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If such payment or deposit of such NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration is made in part in Class A Shares, the holders of the NZ Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holders of the Class A Shares delivered to them.

Section 5.3   After the Corporation has satisfied its obligations to pay the holders of the NZ Exchangeable Shares the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Amount per NZ Exchangeable Share, such holders shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

Section 5.4   If ParentCo exercises the Liquidation Call Right, each holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be obligated to sell all the NZ Exchangeable Shares held by such holder to ParentCo on the Liquidation Date on payment by ParentCo to the holder of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Call Purchase Price for each such share.

ARTICLE 6
RETRACTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY HOLDER

Section 6.1   A holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time, subject to (i) the exercise by ParentCo of the Retraction Call Right which, if exercised by ParentCo, shall be binding on the holders of NZ Exchangeable Shares, (ii) the Transfer Restrictions, (iii) either the Corporation or ParentCo being subject to any trading 'blackout' or 'windows' period, and (iv) ParentCo determining, in its sole discretion, that the issuance of Class A Shares in a public offering in the United States of America would be inadvisable at such time or during such period as a result of application of any United States federal or state law or regulation, and otherwise upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 6, to require the Corporation to redeem any or all of the NZ Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for the NZ Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the Business Day following the date of the Retraction Request (the "Retraction Price") which as set forth in section 6.4 shall be fully paid and satisfied by the delivery by or on behalf of the Corporation of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing such holder's total Retraction Price. In connection with payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price, the Corporation shall be entitled to liquidate some of the Class A Shares that would otherwise be deliverable to the particular holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares in order to fund any statutory withholding tax obligation. To effect such redemption, the holder shall present and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to the holders of NZ Exchangeable Shares the certificate or certificates representing the NZ Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of NZ Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require, and together with a duly executed statement (the "Retraction Request") in the form of Schedule A hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to the Corporation:

(i)    specifying that the holder desires to have all or any number specified therein of the NZ Exchangeable Shares represented by such certificate or certificates (the "Retracted Shares") redeemed by the Corporation;
     
(ii)   stating the Business Day on which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem the Retracted Shares (the "Retraction Date"), provided that such date shall be not less than five Business Days nor more than ten Business Days, or such other number of Business Days as the Corporation may determine, after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation and further provided that, in the event that no such Business Day is specified by the holder in the Retraction Request, the Retraction Date shall be deemed to be the fifth Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation;
        
(iii)   acknowledging the overriding right (the "Retraction Call Right") of ParentCo to purchase all but not less than all of the Retracted Shares directly from the holder and that the Retraction Request shall be deemed to be a revocable offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares in accordance with the Retraction Call Right on the terms and conditions set out in Section 6.3 below.

Section 6.2   Subject to the exercise by ParentCo of the Retraction Call Right, upon receipt by the Corporation in the manner specified in Section 6.1 hereof of a certificate or certificates representing the number of NZ Exchangeable Shares which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with a Retraction Request as well as appropriate certificates or other assurances in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the NZ Exchange Share Consideration, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7 hereof, the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date and shall cause to be delivered on the Retraction Date to such holder the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price with respect to such shares in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. If only a part of the NZ Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed or purchased by ParentCo pursuant to the Retraction Call Right, a new certificate for the balance of such NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be issued on the Retraction Date to the holder at the expense of the Corporation.

Section 6.3   Upon receipt by the Corporation of a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall immediately notify ParentCo thereof. In order to exercise the Retraction Call Right, ParentCo must notify the Corporation in writing of its determination to do so (the "ParentCo Call Notice") within two Business Days of such notification. If ParentCo does not so notify the Corporation within two Business Days, the Corporation will notify the holder as soon as possible thereafter that ParentCo will not exercise the Retraction Call Right. If ParentCo delivers the ParentCo Call Notice within such two Business Days, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7, the Retraction Request shall thereupon be considered only to be an offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to ParentCo in accordance with the Retraction Call Right. In such event, the Corporation shall not redeem the Retracted Shares and ParentCo shall purchase from such holder and such holder shall sell to ParentCo on the Retraction Date the Retracted Shares for a purchase price (the "Purchase Price") per share equal to the Retraction Price per share which as set forth in section 6.4, shall be fully paid and satisfied by the delivery by or on behalf of ParentCo of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing such holder's total Purchase Price. For the purposes of completing a purchase pursuant to the Retraction Call Right, ParentCo shall deposit with the Corporation, on or before the Retraction Date, the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration for each NZ Exchangeable Share to be purchased. Provided that such NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration has been so deposited with the Corporation, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Retracted Shares pursuant to the Retraction Call Right shall be deemed to have occurred as at the close of business on the Retraction Date and, for greater certainty, no redemption by the Corporation of such Retracted Shares shall take place on the Retraction Date. In the event that ParentCo does not deliver a ParentCo Call Notice within two Business Days or otherwise comply with these NZ Exchangeable Share provisions in respect thereto, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7 hereof, the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares on the Retraction Date and in the manner otherwise contemplated in this Article 6.

Section 6.4   Subject to receipt by the Corporation or ParentCo of appropriate certificates or other assurances in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Corporation or ParentCo, as the case may be, shall deliver on the Retraction Date the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, to the relevant holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register of the Corporation for the NZ Exchangeable Shares or at the address specified in the holder's Retraction Request and such delivery of such NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability under this Article 6, except as to any cheque included therein which is not paid on due presentation.

Section 6.5   On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the Retracted Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price or total Purchase Price, as the case may be, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, shall not be made, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of the total Retraction Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be, has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Corporation or purchased by ParentCo shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Class A Shares delivered to it.

Section 6.6   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, the Corporation shall not be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent that such redemption of Retracted Shares would be contrary to liquidity or solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law. If the Corporation believes that on any Retraction Date it would not be permitted by any of such provisions to redeem the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on such date, and provided that ParentCo shall not have exercised the Retraction Call Right with respect to the Retracted Shares, the Corporation shall only be obligated to redeem Retracted Shares specified by a holder in a Retraction Request to the extent of the maximum number that may be so redeemed (rounded down to a whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the holder at least two Business Days prior to the Retraction Date as to the number of Retracted Shares which will not be redeemed by the Corporation. In any case in which the redemption by the Corporation of Retracted Shares would be contrary to liquidity or solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 6.2 of these share provisions on a pro rata basis in respect of NZ Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed on the applicable Retraction Date, and shall issue on the Retraction Date to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof. Provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7 hereof, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 6.2 of these share provisions as a result of liquidity or solvency requirements or applicable law shall be deemed by giving the Retraction Request to require ParentCo to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by ParentCo to such holder of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Purchase Price for each such Retracted Share, all as more specifically provided in the Exchange Trust Agreement, and ParentCo shall make such purchase.

Section 6.7   A holder of Retracted Shares may, by notice in writing given by the holder to the Corporation before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date, withdraw its Retraction Request in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to ParentCo shall be deemed to have been revoked.

ARTICLE 7
REDEMPTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY THE CORPORATION

Section 7.1   Subject to applicable law, and if ParentCo does not exercise the Redemption Call Right which, if exercised by ParentCo, shall be binding on the holders of NZ Exchangeable Shares, the Corporation shall on the Automatic Redemption Date redeem the whole of the then

outstanding NZ Exchangeable Shares for an amount equal to the NZ Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day prior to the Automatic Redemption Date (the "Redemption Price"), which as set forth in section 7.3 below, shall be fully paid and satisfied by delivery by or on behalf of the Corporation of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Redemption Price. In connection with payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price, the Corporation shall be entitled to liquidate some of the Class A Shares which would otherwise be deliverable to the particular holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares in order to fund any statutory withholding tax obligation.

Section 7.2   In any case of a redemption of NZ Exchangeable Shares under this Article 7, the Corporation shall, at least 30 days before the Automatic Redemption Date, send or cause to be sent to each holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Corporation or the purchase by ParentCo under the Redemption Call Right, as the case may be, of the NZ Exchangeable Shares held by such holder. Such notice shall set out the Automatic Redemption Date and, if applicable, particulars of the Redemption Call Right. Any failure by the Corporation to send any such notice in writing shall not affect the right of the Corporation to redeem the NZ Exchangeable Shares on the Automatic Redemption Date.

Section 7.3   On the Automatic Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by ParentCo of the Redemption Call Right, and receipt by the Corporation of appropriate certificates or other assurances in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the NZ Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price for each such NZ Exchangeable Share upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation in such notice of the certificates representing such NZ Exchangeable Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of NZ Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require. The NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Redemption Price for such NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be delivered to each holder, at the address of the holder recorded in the securities register for the NZ Exchangeable Shares. On the Automatic Redemption Date, the holders of the NZ Exchangeable Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such NZ Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of holders in respect thereof, other than the right to receive their respective NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration unless payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the total Redemption Price for such NZ Exchangeable Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until such NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. The Corporation shall have the right at any time after the automatic Redemption Date to deposit or cause to be deposited the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration with respect to the NZ Exchangeable Shares so called for redemption, or of such of the said NZ Exchangeable Shares represented by certificates that have not at the date of such deposit been surrendered by the holders thereof in connection with such redemption, in a custodial account or for safe keeping, in the case of non-cash items, with any chartered bank or trust company in Canada named in such notice. Upon the later of such deposit being made and the Automatic Redemption Date, the NZ Exchangeable Shares in respect whereof such deposit shall have been made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after such deposit or Automatic Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be limited to receiving their respective NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions. Upon such payment or deposit of such NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration, the holders of the NZ Exchangeable Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Class A Shares delivered to them.

Section 7.4   If ParentCo exercises the Redemption Call Right, each holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be obligated to sell all the NZ Exchangeable Shares held by the holder to ParentCo on the Automatic Redemption Date on payment by ParentCo to the holder of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Call Purchase Price for each such share.

ARTICLE 8
EXCHANGE PUT RIGHT

Section 8.1   Upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained in these New Zealand Exchangeable Share Provisions and the Exchange Trust Agreement:

(a)    a holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares shall have the right (the "Exchange Put Right") at any time to require ParentCo to purchase all or any part of the NZ Exchangeable Shares of the holder, subject to (i) the Transfer Restrictions, (ii) either the Corporation or ParentCo being subject to any trading 'blackout' or 'windows' period, and (iii) ParentCo determining, in its sole discretion, that the issuance of Class A Shares in a public offering in the United States of America would be inadvisable at such time or during such period as a result of application of any United States federal or state regulation; and
     
(b)   upon the exercise by the holder of the Exchange Put Right, the holder shall be required to sell to ParentCo, and ParentCo shall be required to purchase from the holder, that number of NZ Exchangeable Shares in respect of which the Exchange Put Right is exercised, in consideration of the payment by ParentCo of the NZ Exchangeable Share Price applicable thereto (which shall be the NZ Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the Business Day following the receipt of the notice required under section 8.2 hereof), to be satisfied by delivery by or on behalf of ParentCo of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration.

Section 8.2   The Exchange Put Right provided in Section 8.1 hereof and in Article VII of the Exchange Trust Agreement may be exercised at any time by notice in writing in the form of Schedule B hereto or in such other form as may be acceptable to ParentCo (the "Notice of Exercise of Exchange Put Right") given by the holder to and received by the Corporation (the date of such receipt, the "Exchange Put Date") accompanied by presentation and surrender of the certificates representing such NZ Exchangeable Shares, together with such documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of NZ Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the by-laws of the Corporation and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require, at the registered office of the Corporation or at such other

office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation. The Notice of Exercise of Exchange Put Right shall be irrevocable unless the exchange is not completed in accordance herewith and shall constitute the holder's authorization to the Corporation (and such other persons aforesaid) to effect the exchange on behalf of the holder.

Section 8.3   The surrender by the holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares under section 8.2 shall constitute the representation, warranty and covenant of the holder that the NZ Exchangeable Shares so purchased are sold free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim or interest.

Section 8.4   If a part only of the NZ Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate are to be sold and purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Exchange Put Right, a new certificate for the balance of such NZ Exchangeable Shares shall be issued to the holder at the expense of the Corporation within ten Business Days of the exercise of the Exchange Put Right.

Section 8.5   Upon receipt by the Corporation of the notice, certificates and other documents or instruments required by section 8.2, and receipt by the Corporation of appropriate certificates or other assurance in respect of applicable taxes related to the payment of the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered as soon as practicable but in no event later than the fifth Business Day after the Exchange Put Date, on behalf of ParentCo and subject to receipt by the Corporation from ParentCo of the applicable NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration, to the relevant holder at the address of the holder specified in the notice or by holding for pick-up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation, or at such other office in Ontario, Canada as may be specified by the Corporation, the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration. Delivery by ParentCo to the Corporation and by the Corporation to the holder of such NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the total applicable NZ Exchangeable Share Price, except as to any cheque included therein which is not paid on due presentation.

Section 8.6   On and after the close of business on the day on which the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration is delivered to the holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 8.5, the holder of the NZ Exchangeable Shares in respect of which the Exchange Put Right is exercised shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a holder in respect thereof, other than the right to receive the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of such total price shall not be made, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such payment has been made. On and after the close of business on the day on which the NZ Exchangeable Share Consideration is delivered to the holder of NZ Exchangeable Shares in accordance with Section 8.5, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of such total price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the NZ Exchangeable Shares so purchased by ParentCo shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Class A Shares delivered to it.
