shares, payable at the time and in the manner which the Directors may determine and subject to the order of priority as defined in section 5.6.

Conversion at the discretion of the holder

5.2.3

Shall have the right, starting January 1st, 2009, at their entire discretion, to convert, part or all of the Class “B” shares they hold in Class “A” shares on the basis of one Class “A” share for each Class “B” share converted pursuant hereto.

To exercise its conversion right, a shareholder must remit to the Company's head office a written notice indicating the number of shares which must be converted by the Company as well as the date of the conversion. This notice must be accompanied by the share certificate(s) representing the shares which will be converted and must bear the signature of the person registered on the Company's registers as the holder of these shares or the signature of a duly authorized proxy. Upon receipt of the notice and the share certificate(s) representing the shares to be converted, the Company will dispose of fifteen (15) days to remit the new Class “A” share certificates to the shareholder. A shareholder may not claim a right as a shareholder of the converted class of shares as of the date upon which the Company shall have issued the new share certificates following the exercise of the conversion.

If part of the shares held by a shareholder are converted pursuant hereto, the Company shall, free of charge, issue to the concerned shareholder a new share certificate representing the non-converted shares.

The shares converted pursuant hereto at the request of a shareholder will be automatically cancelled at the date of issuance of the new Class “A” shares issued following the conversion and the Company shall, as required, reduce or increase accordingly the subdivision of the issued and paid share capital relating to said shares, the whole in accordance with the provisions of the law.

Redemption

5.2.4

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act (Quebec) and the order of priority defined in section 5.6, have the right to demand from the Company, upon a thirty (30) day written notice, that the latter redeem the Class “B” shares that are held by the shareholder(s) at a price equivalent to the amount paid for said shares plus the redemption premium as defined in subsection 5.2.4.1, and any and all declared but yet unpaid dividends on same. In the event of partial redemption, such redemption shall be made in proportion with the number of outstanding Class “B” shares, without taking into account share fractions.

5.2.4.1

The Class “B” share redemption premium shall be equivalent to the difference between the amount paid for said shares and the fair market value of the consideration received at the time of issuance of same. Subject to the provisions of subsection 5.2.4.2, the fair market value shall be determined by the Board of directors of the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and its decision shall be final, binding and without appeal.

DOCPROPERTY "DocsID" \* MERGEFORMAT LEGAL_1:80997207.1

- 27 -

5.2.4.2

5.2.4.3

If, between the date of issuance of the Class “B” shares and the date at which the premium is adjusted as mentioned in subsection 5.2.4.2, some Class “B” shares of the share capital of the Company have been redeemed, the shareholders at the time of redemption will have to, at the date of adjustment, make a cash payment to the Company or the Company will have to, at such date, make a cash payment to said shareholders, as the case may be, equal to the difference between the amount paid at the time of the redemption of the shares and the amount that should have been paid to the shareholders if the adjustment had been taken into consideration.

5.2.4.4

Furthermore, if dividends have been paid by the Company on some Class “B” shares between the date of issuance of the Class “B” shares and the date at which the premium is adjusted according to subsection 5.2.4.2, the Company will have to, at the date of adjustment, make a cash payment to the holders of Class “B” shares at the time the dividend was paid, or said Class “B” shareholders will have to, at the same date, make a cash payment to the Company, in order to compensate the other party for the insufficiency of the paid dividends or the overpayment of said dividends, as the case may be, stemming from the fact that the redemption premium has been modified.

Purchase

5.2.5

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act (Quebec), the Company may, when it so deems advisable, without notice and without taking into account any other classes of shares, purchase by mutual agreement, at the best possible price, all or part of the outstanding Class “B” shares, which price shall not exceed, in any way, the aforementioned redemption price.

In the event of partial redemption, such redemption shall be made in proportion with the number of outstanding Class “C” shares, without taking into account share fractions.

5.3.6.1

The Class “C” share redemption premium shall be equivalent to the difference between the amount paid for said shares and the fair market value of the consideration received at the time of issuance of same.
