If no right to convert Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class C Non-Voting Shares into Class B Voting Shares has arisen, but subsequently arises by virtue of sub-paragraph 7(d) or otherwise, the Corporation shall forthwith send to the holders of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class C Non-Voting Shares a notice advising such holders that such a right has arisen, and the reasons therefor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the outstanding Class B Voting Shares represent less than one-third of the total outstanding shares of the Corporation, assuming the conversion of all Class B Voting Shares into Subordinate Voting Shares, then the foregoing nomination rights shall automatically terminate and shall no longer remain in effect.

No fractional Class A Subordinate Voting Shares shall be issued on any conversion.
 
(g)  
The conversion right provided for herein may be exercised by notice in writing given to the Corporation at its registered office accompanied by the certificate or certificates representing the Class B Voting Shares in respect of which the holder thereof desires to exercise such right of conversion and such notice shall be executed by the person registered on the books of the Corporation as the holder of the Class B Voting Shares in respect of which such right is being exercised or by his duly authorized attorney and shall specify the number of such shares which the holder desires to have converted. The conversion shall be deemed to take effect upon the date which the said certificate or certificates shall be surrendered to the Corporation at its registered office accompanied by the said notice in writing unless such date be a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday, in which event it shall take effect on the next business day.

If, however, Converted Shares are not taken up as a result of the abandonment or withdrawal of an Exclusionary Offer, the deemed election to re-convert in respect of such shares shall be effective from the time of the abandonment or withdrawal of the offer.

In the case of a Notice of Transfer, where the Transfer Agent is advised of the identity of the transferee, either by the Notice of Transfer or by the transferee in writing, and the transferee is a person or company from whom the Transfer Agent has a subsisting Certificate of Retention or subsisting Certificate of Non-Participation, no such deduction shall be made.
 
(d) If after any deduction made by the Transfer Agent in accordance with sub-paragraph 7(c), the number of Class B Voting Shares represented by Certificates of Retention and Certificates of Non-Participation does not exceed 50% of the number of then outstanding Class B Voting Shares, exclusive of shares owned immediately prior to the Exclusionary Offer by the Offeror and any Joint Actor, sub-paragraph 7(b) shall cease to apply and the right to convert Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class C Non-Voting Shares into Class B Voting Shares shall arise and be in effect for the remainder of the Conversion Period.
 
8.  
As soon as reasonably possible after the seventh day following the Offer Date, the Corporation shall send to each holder of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class C Non-Voting Shares a notice advising each such holder whether a right to convert Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class C Non-Voting Shares into Class B Voting Shares has arisen and the reasons such a right has or has not arisen, as the case may be. If no right to convert Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class C Non-Voting Shares into Class B Voting Shares has arisen, but subsequently arises by virtue of sub-paragraph 7(d) or otherwise, the Corporation shall forthwith send to the holders of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and Class C Non-Voting Shares a notice advising such holders that such a right has arisen, and the reasons therefor.

In the event that an Exclusionary Offer is made, then subject to sub-paragraph (6)(b), each outstanding Class C Non-Voting Share shall be convertible into one (1) Class A Subordinate Voting Share at the option of the holder during the Conversion Period.

(a)  
give written notice to the Transfer Agent of the exercise of such right and of the number of Class C Non-Voting Shares in respect of which the right is being exercised;

Upon due exercise of the conversion right, a shareholder shall be issued, in accordance with the following, a share certificate representing fully-paid and non-assessable Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. If the conversion right is exercised in respect of less than all of the Class C Non-Voting Shares represented by any share certificate, the holder shall also be entitled to receive a new share certificate representing the number of Class C Non-Voting Shares in respect of which the conversion right is not being exercised.
 
3.  
A holder of Converted Shares shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to deposit all such shares pursuant to the Exclusionary Offer subject to such holder’s right to subsequently withdraw the shares from the offer.

The holder of Converted Shares deposited pursuant to an Exclusionary Offer shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to re-convert into Class C Non-Voting Shares such shares as are not taken up pursuant to the offer. The deemed election to re-convert into Class C Non-Voting Shares shall be effective from the time immediately following that prescribed by applicable securities legislation for the Offeror to take up and pay for such shares as are to be acquired pursuant to the Exclusionary Offer. If, however, Converted Shares are not taken up as a result of the abandonment or withdrawal of an Exclusionary Offer, the deemed election to re-convert in respect of such shares shall be effective from the time of the abandonment or withdrawal of the offer.
 
4.  
The Transfer Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Converted Shares, shall deposit pursuant to the Exclusionary Offer a share certificate or certificates representing the Converted Shares. No share certificate representing Converted Shares shall be delivered to the holders of the shares before such shares are deposited pursuant to the Exclusionary Offer. Upon completion of the offer, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to the holders entitled thereto all consideration paid by the Offeror for their Converted Shares pursuant to the offer. If Converted Shares are re-converted into Class C Non-Voting Shares pursuant to the immediately foregoing paragraph, the Transfer Agent shall deliver to the holders entitled thereto share certificates representing the Class C Non-Voting Shares resulting from the conversion. The Corporation shall make all arrangements with the Transfer Agent necessary or desirable to give effect to this paragraph 4.
 
5.  
Converted Shares resulting from the conversion of Class C Non-Voting Shares as set out above and taken up and paid for by the Offeror shall immediately be re-converted into Class C Non-Voting Shares upon such taking up and payment for such Converted Shares if the Offeror taking up and paying for such Converted Shares is not a Canadian.

(iii)  
that such shareholder shall not tender any shares in acceptance of any Exclusionary Offer which has been made, including any varied form of such offer, without giving the Transfer Agent and the Corporation written notice of such acceptance or intended acceptance at least seven days prior to the Expiry Date; and
 
(iv)  
that such shareholder shall not transfer any Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, directly or indirectly, prior to the Expiry Date of any Exclusionary Offer which has been made without giving the Transfer Agent and the Corporation written notice of such transfer or intended transfer at least seven days prior to the Expiry Date, stating the names of the transferees, if known to the transferor, and the number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares transferred or to be transferred to each transferee;
 
Certificate of Retention” means a certificate signed by or on behalf of a holder of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares confirming the number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares then owned by the holder and that such holder of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares shall not:
 
(i)  
tender any shares in acceptance of any Exclusionary Offer without giving the Transfer Agent and the Corporation written notice of such acceptance or intended acceptance at least seven days prior to the Expiry Date;
 
(ii)  
make any Exclusionary Offer;
 
(iii)  
act jointly or in concert with any person or company that makes any Exclusionary Offer; or
 
(iv)  
transfer any Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, directly or indirectly, during the time at which any Exclusionary Offer is outstanding without giving the Transfer Agent and the Corporation written notice of such transfer or intended transfer at least seven days prior to the Expiry Date, stating the names of the transferees, if known to the transferor, and the number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares transferred or to be transferred to each transferee;

(b) Subject to sub-paragraph 6(c), the holders of Class C Non-Voting Shares shall not be entitled to convert such shares into Class A Subordinate Voting Shares if one or more Certificates of Retention or one or more Certificates of Non-Participation or a combination of the foregoing, representing, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, exclusive of shares owned immediately prior to the Exclusionary Offer by the Offeror and any Joint Actor, have been duly delivered to the Transfer Agent and to the Corporation. A Certificate of Retention shall be duly delivered to the Transfer Agent and to the Corporation if delivered before any Exclusionary Offer has been made. A Certificate of Non-Participation shall be duly delivered to the Transfer Agent and to the Corporation if delivered before the end of the seventh day after any Exclusionary Offer has been made.
 
(c) When, by reason of the application of sub-paragraph 6(b), the holders of Class C Non-Voting Shares are not entitled to convert such shares into Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, should a Notice of Tender or a Notice of Transfer be given by a holder having previously provided a Certificate of Retention or a Certificate of Non-Participation, the Transfer Agent shall forthwith upon receipt of such notice or forthwith after the seventh day following the Offer Date, whichever is later, deduct the number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares to which the notice relates from the number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares represented by Certificates of Retention and Certificates of Non-Participation. In the case of a Notice of Transfer, where the Transfer Agent is advised of the identity of the transferee, either by the Notice of Transfer or by the transferee in writing, and the transferee is a person or company from whom the Transfer Agent has a subsisting Certificate of Retention or subsisting Certificate of Non-Participation, no such deduction shall be made.
 
(d) If after any deduction made by the Transfer Agent in accordance with sub-paragraph 6(c), the number of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares represented by Certificates of Retention and Certificates of Non-Participation does not exceed 50% of the number of then outstanding Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, exclusive of shares owned immediately prior to the Exclusionary Offer by the Offeror and any Joint Actor, sub-paragraph 6(b) shall cease to apply and the right to convert Class C Non-Voting Shares into Class A Subordinate Voting Shares shall arise and be in effect for the remainder of the Conversion Period.
 
-13-

7.  
As soon as reasonably possible after the seventh day following the Offer Date, the Corporation shall send to each holder of Class C Non-Voting Shares a notice advising each such holder whether a right to convert Class C Non-Voting Shares into Class A Subordinate Voting Shares has arisen and the reasons such a right has or has not arisen, as the case may be. If no right to convert Class C Non-Voting Shares into Class A Subordinate Voting Shares has arisen, but subsequently arises by virtue of sub-paragraph 6(d) or otherwise, the Corporation shall forthwith send to the holders of Class C Non-Voting Shares a notice advising such holders that such a right has arisen, and the reasons therefor.
 
8.  
If a notice referred to above discloses that the holders of Class C Non-Voting Shares are entitled to convert such shares into Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, the notice shall, in addition:

The Board of Directors shall, in selecting the Shares held by person(s) in the Restricted Class that are to be sold in accordance with the foregoing, do so in an order inverse to the date of registration of ownership of such Shares, which shall be considered to be:

In the event of such a sale, the owner of the Shares so sold shall be automatically divested of such owner’s interest in such Shares and be entitled to receive only the net proceeds of the sale, together with any income earned thereon from the beginning of the month next following the date of the receipt by the Corporation of the proceeds of the sale, less any taxes thereon and any costs of administration thereof.
