Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 Shares without par value of which 533,224,096 Shares were issued and outstanding at September 30, 2005.  The holders of Shares are entitled to receive notice of and attend all meetings of shareholders with each Share held entitling the holder to one vote on any resolution to be passed at such shareholder meetings.  The holders of Shares are entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Company.  The Shares are entitled upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company to receive the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders.

There are no cumulative voting rights, and directors do not stand for re-election at staggered intervals.  No pre-emptive, redemption, sinking fund or conversion rights are attached to the Shares, and the Shares, when fully paid, are not liable to further call or assessment.  No other class of shares may be created without the approval of the requisite majority of the holders of Shares.  There are no provisions of the Shares discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of Shares as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of Shares, other than as may be applicable in connection with the Company’s Shareholder Rights Plan, effective December 21, 2005, as adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and for which shareholder approval will be sought at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders to be held in May 2006.
