Subject to limitations prescribed by law (including the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)) and the provisions of this Article (including any Preferred Shares Designation), the Board is hereby authorized to provide by resolution and by causing the filing of a Preferred Shares Designation for the issuance of the Preferred Shares in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the number of Preferred Shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of each such series.

3.

The Preferred Shares of each series shall, with respect to the right of payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank on parity with the shares of every other series of Preferred Shares.

4. To declare that the authorized capital of the Corporation, after giving effect to the foregoing, consists of:

 

  (a)

an unlimited number of common shares; and

At each such meeting, the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to one vote for each Common Share held by such holder on all matters on which shareholders are generally entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Shares, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to these Articles, including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Shares (each hereinafter referred to as a “Preferred Shares Designation”), that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Shares, if the holders of such affected class of shares or series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such class or series, to vote thereon pursuant to these Articles (including any Preferred Shares Designation).

Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, or any other distribution of assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Shares, the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its shareholders ratably in proportion to the number of Common Shares held by them.
