                  used or disposed of by the Trustee for any purpose  other than
                  the purposes for which this Trust is created  pursuant to this
                  Agreement.

         Trustee shall not exercise or permit the exercise of such Shareholder's
         Voting  Rights  and shall not  otherwise  exercise  the  Voting  Rights
         attached to the Trust Shares.

         Any Shareholder  named in a List prepared in connection with any Parent
         Meeting or any Parent  Consent  will be entitled  (a) to  instruct  the
         Trustee with respect to the exercise of the Shareholder  Votes to which
         such  Shareholder  is  entitled  or  (b) to  attend  such  meeting  and
         personally  to exercise  thereat (or to  exercise  with  respect to any
         written consent), as the proxy of the Trustee, the Shareholder Votes to
         which such Shareholder is entitled except,  in each case, to the extent
         that such Shareholder has transferred the ownership of any Exchangeable
         Shares in respect of which such  Shareholder is entitled to Shareholder
         Votes after the close of  business on the record date for such  meeting
         or seeking of consent.

         In connection with each Parent Meeting and Parent Consent,  the Trustee
         shall  exercise,  either in person or by proxy,  in accordance with the
         instructions  received from a Shareholder , the Shareholder Votes as to
         which such  Shareholder is entitled to direct the Voting Rights (or any
         lesser  number  thereof  as  may  be set  forth  in the  instructions);
         provided,  however,  that such written instructions are received by the
         Trustee from the Shareholder prior to the time and date fixed by it for
         receipt of such instructions in the

                                                                               9

         notice given by the Trustee to the Shareholder.

         The Trustee shall cause such  representatives as are empowered by it to
         sign and deliver,  on behalf of the Trustee,  proxies for Voting Rights
         to attend each Parent Meeting. Upon submission by a Shareholder (or its
         designee)   of    identification    satisfactory   to   the   Trustee's
         representatives, and at the Shareholder's request, such representatives
         shall sign and deliver to such Shareholder (or its designee) a proxy to
         exercise  personally the Shareholder Votes as to which such Shareholder
         is otherwise entitled hereunder to direct the vote, if such Shareholder
         either (i) has not previously given the Trustee instructions in respect
         of such  meeting,  or (ii)  submits  to the  Trustee's  representatives
         written revocation of any such previous instructions.  At such meeting,
         the Shareholder  exercising such Shareholder  Votes shall have the same
         rights as the Trustee to speak at the meeting in respect of any matter,
         question  or  proposition,  to vote by way of ballot at the  meeting in
         respect of any  matter,  question  or  proposition  and to vote at such
         meeting by way of a show of hands in respect of any matter, question or
         proposition.

                      EXCHANGE RIGHT AND AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE

4.1      GRANT AND OWNERSHIP OF THE EXCHANGE RIGHT.  The Parent hereby grants to
         the  Shareholders  the  right,  upon  the  occurrence  and  during  the
         continuance of an Insolvency  Event,  to require the Parent to purchase
         from each or any Shareholder all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares
         held by the  Shareholder  in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this
         Agreement  (the  "Insolvency   Exchange  Right").   The  Parent  hereby
         acknowledges  receipt  from  the  Shareholders  of  good  and  valuable
         consideration  (and  the  adequacy  thereof)  for the  issuance  of the
         Insolvency Exchange Right to them.

4.2      LEGENDED  SHARE  CERTIFICATES.  Purchaser  will cause each  certificate
         representing   Exchangeable   Shares  to  bear  an  appropriate  legend
         notifying the Shareholders of:

         (a)      their right with  respect to the  exercise  of the  Insolvency
                  Exchange Right in respect of the Exchangeable Shares held by a
                  Shareholder; and

         (b)      the Automatic Exchange Rights.

4.3      PURCHASE  PRICE.  The  purchase  price  payable  by the Parent for each
         Exchangeable  Non-Voting  Share to be purchased by the Parent under the
         Insolvency Exchange Right shall be an amount per share equal to (a) the
         Current  Market Price of a Parent Common Share on the last Business Day
         prior  to  the  day of  closing  of  the  purchase  and  sale  of  such
         Exchangeable  Non-Voting Share under the Insolvency Exchange Right plus
         (b) an additional amount equivalent to the full amount of all dividends
         declared and unpaid on each such Exchangeable  Non-Voting Share and all
         dividends declared on Parent Common Shares which have not been declared
         on such Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the

<PAGE>

                                                                              10

         Exchangeable Share Provisions (provided that if the record date for any
         such  declared  and  unpaid  dividends  occurs  on or after  the day of
         closing of such purchase and sale the purchase  price shall not include
         such  additional   amount   equivalent  to  such  declared  and  unpaid
         dividends). In connection with each exercise of the Insolvency Exchange
         Right,  the  Parent  will  provide  to the  shareholders  an  Officer's
         Certificate  setting forth the  calculation  of the purchase  price for
         each  Exchangeable  Non-Voting  Share. The purchase price for each such
         Exchangeable  Non-Voting  Share so purchased  may be satisfied  only by
         delivering or causing the Trustee to deliver out of the Trust Shares to
         the relevant  Shareholder,  one Parent Common Share and a check for the
         balance, if any, of the purchase price without interest.

4.4      EXERCISE  INSTRUCTIONS.  Subject to the terms and  conditions set forth
         herein, a Shareholder shall be entitled, upon the occurrence and during
         the  continuance  of an Insolvency  Event,  to exercise the  Insolvency
         Exchange  Right  with  respect  to all or any part of the  Exchangeable
         Shares  registered  in the  name of such  Shareholder  on the  books of
         Purchaser.  To cause the exercise of the Insolvency Exchange Right, the
         Shareholder  shall deliver to the Parent,  in person or by certified or
         registered mail the certificates  representing the Exchangeable  Shares
         which such Shareholder desires the Parent to purchase, duly endorsed in
         blank,  and  accompanied by such other documents and instruments as may
         be required to effect a transfer of Exchangeable  Shares under the Act,
         and the  articles  of  Purchaser  and  such  additional  documents  and
         instruments  as the Parent may reasonably  require  together with (a) a
         duly completed  form of notice of exercise of the  Insolvency  Exchange
         Right,  contained  on the reverse of or  attached  to the  Exchangeable
         Non-Voting Share certificates,  stating (i) that the Shareholder elects
         to exercise the  Insolvency  Exchange Right so as to require the Parent
         to purchase  from the  Shareholder  the number of  Exchangeable  Shares
         specified  therein,  (ii) that such  Shareholder  has good title to and
         owns all such  Exchangeable  Shares to be  acquired  by Parent free and
         clear of all liens,  claims and  encumbrances,  (iii) the name in which
         the  certificates  representing  Parent  Common Shares  deliverable  in
         connection with the exercise of the Insolvency Exchange Right are to be
         issued and (iv) the names and addresses of the persons to whom such new
         certificates  should  be  delivered,   and  (b)  payment  (or  evidence
         satisfactory  to Purchaser  and the Parent of payment) of the taxes (if
         any) payable as contemplated by Section 4.7 of this Agreement.  If only
         a part of the  Exchangeable  Shares  represented by any  certificate or
         certificates delivered to the Trustee are to be purchased by the Parent
         under the Insolvency  Exchange Right, a new certificate for the balance
         of such  Exchangeable  Shares shall be issued to the Shareholder at the
         expense of Purchaser.

4.5      DELIVERY OF PARENT COMMON SHARES; EFFECT OF EXERCISE.  Promptly, and as
         soon  as  reasonably  practicable  after  receipt  of the  certificates
         representing the Exchangeable  Shares which the Shareholder desires the
         Parent to purchase under the Insolvency  Exchange Right,  together with
         such documents and instruments of transfer and a duly completed form of
         notice of exercise of the  Insolvency  Exchange  Right (and  payment of
         taxes, if any, or evidence thereof),  duly endorsed for transfer to the
         Parent,  the Parent shall  immediately  thereafter upon receipt of such
         notice deliver or cause the Trustee

<PAGE>

                                                                              11

         to  deliver  out of  the  Trust  Shares,  to the  Shareholder  of  such
         Exchangeable  Shares  (or to  such  other  persons,  if  any,  properly
         designated by such  Shareholder),  the  certificates  for the number of
         Parent Common Shares deliverable in connection with the exercise of the
         Insolvency  Exchange Right,  which shares shall be duly issued as fully
         paid and non- assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim
         or  encumbrance,  and  checks  for the  balance,  if any,  of the total
         purchase price therefor. The Parent shall,  immediately upon receipt of
         such  certificates   representing  the  Exchangeable  Shares  from  the
         Shareholder,  deliver  the  certificates  to the  registered  office of
         Purchaser for  cancellation.  Immediately  upon the giving of notice by
         the  Shareholder  to the  Parent  of  the  exercise  of the  Insolvency
         Exchange  Right,  as provided in this  Section  4.5, the closing of the
         transaction  of  purchase  and  sale  contemplated  by  the  Insolvency
         Exchange Right shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Shareholder of
         such  Exchangeable  Shares shall be deemed to have  transferred  to the
         Parent its right, title and interest in and to such Exchangeable Shares
         and shall cease to be a  Shareholder  of such  Exchangeable  Shares and
         shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Shareholder in
         respect thereof, other than the right to receive his proportionate part
         of the total purchase price  therefor,  unless the requisite  number of
         Parent Common Shares (together with a check for the balance, if any, of
         the  total  purchase  price  therefor)  is  not  allotted,  issued  and
         delivered  to such  Shareholder  (or to  such  other  persons,  if any,
         properly designated by such Shareholder), within five (5) Business Days
         of the date of the giving of such notice by the  Shareholder,  in which
         case the rights of the Shareholder  shall remain  unaffected until such
         Parent  Common  Shares are so  allotted,  issued and  delivered  by the
         Parent and any such check is so delivered and paid.  Concurrently  with
         such  Shareholder  ceasing to be a Shareholder of Exchangeable  Shares,
         the  Shareholder  shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be
         the holder of Parent  Common  Shares  delivered  to it  pursuant to the
         Insolvency Exchange Right.

4.6      EXERCISE OF INSOLVENCY EXCHANGE RIGHT SUBSEQUENT TO RETRACTION.  In the
         event that a Shareholder has exercised its right under Article 6 of the
         Exchangeable Share Provisions to require Purchaser to redeem any or all
         of the  Exchangeable  Shares held by the  Shareholder  (the  "Retracted
         Shares")  and is notified by  Purchaser  pursuant to section 6.6 of the
         Exchangeable Share Provisions that Purchaser will not be permitted as a
         result of solvency  requirements  of applicable  law to redeem all such
         Retracted  Shares,  and the  Shareholder has not revoked the retraction
         request  delivered by the Shareholder to Purchaser  pursuant to section
         6.7 of the Exchangeable  Share Provisions,  the retraction request will
         constitute and will be deemed to constitute notice from the Shareholder
         to the Parent to exercise the Insolvency Exchange Right with respect to
         those Retracted Shares which Purchaser is unable to redeem. In any such
         event,  Purchaser  hereby agrees with the  Shareholder  immediately  to
         notify the Parent of such prohibition  against Purchaser  redeeming all
         of the  Retracted  Shares  and  immediately  to  forward or cause to be
         forwarded  to  the  Parent  all  relevant  materials  delivered  by the
         Shareholder to Purchaser of the Exchangeable  Shares (including without
         limitation  a copy of the  retraction  request  delivered  pursuant  to
         section 6.1 of the  Exchangeable  Share  Provisions) in connection with
         such proposed  redemption  of the Retracted  Shares and the Parent will
         thereupon  exercise the  Insolvency  Exchange Right with respect to the
         Retracted Shares that Purchaser is not

                                                                              12

         permitted to redeem and will purchase  such shares in  accordance  with
         the provisions of this Article 4.

4.7      STAMP OR OTHER TRANSFER TAXES. Upon any sale of Exchangeable  Shares to
         the Parent  pursuant to the Insolvency  Exchange Right or the Automatic
         Exchange  Rights,  the share  certificate or certificates  representing
         Parent Common Shares to be delivered in connection  with the payment of
         the total  purchase  price  therefor shall be issued in the name of the
         Shareholder  of the  Exchangeable  Shares so sold without charge to the
         Shareholder of the Exchangeable Shares so sold; provided,  however that
         such  Shareholder (a) shall pay (and neither the Parent,  Purchaser nor
         the Trustee shall be required to pay) any documentary, stamp, transfer,
         withholding  or other  taxes  that may be  payable  in  respect  of any
         transfer  involved  in the  issuance  or  delivery  of such shares to a
         person other than such  Shareholder,  or (b) shall have  established to
         the  satisfaction  of the Trustee,  the Parent and Purchaser  that such
         taxes, if any, have been paid.

4.8      NOTICE OF  INSOLVENCY  EVENT.  Immediately  upon the  occurrence  of an
         Insolvency  Event or any event  which  with the giving of notice or the
         passage of time or both would be an Insolvency Event, Purchaser and the
         Parent  shall  give  written  notice  thereof  to the  Trustee  and the
         Shareholders, which notice shall contain a brief statement of the right
         of the Shareholders with respect to the Insolvency Exchange Right.

4.9      QUALIFICATION  OF PARENT  COMMON  SHARES.  The  Parent  represents  and
         warrants  that it has  taken  all  actions  and done all  things as are
         necessary  under any United States or Canadian  federal,  provincial or
         state law or regulation or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any
         regulatory  authority or the fulfilment of any other legal  requirement
         (collectively,  the "Applicable Laws") as they exist on the date hereof
         and will in good faith  expeditiously  take all such actions and do all
         such things as are necessary under Applicable Laws as they may exist in
         the future to cause the Parent Common Shares to be issued and delivered
         pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions,  the Insolvency Exchange
         Right or the Automatic Exchange Rights; provided that all Parent Common
         Shares  will be  subject  to such  resale  restrictions  as  imposed by
         applicable securities legislation.

4.10     RESERVATION  OF PARENT COMMON  SHARES.  The Parent  hereby  represents,
         warrants and covenants  that it has  irrevocably  reserved for issuance
         and will at all times keep  available,  free from  preemptive and other
         rights, out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of
         Parent  Common  Shares  (a) as is equal to the sum of (i) the number of
         Exchangeable  Shares issued and outstanding  from time to time and (ii)
         the number of  Exchangeable  Shares  issuable  upon the exercise of all
         rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares outstanding from time to time and
         (b) as are now and may  hereafter  be  required  to enable  and  permit
         Purchaser  and  the  Parent  to  meet  their   respective   obligations
         hereunder,  under the Support  Agreement,  under the Exchangeable Share
         Provisions and under any other security or commitment pursuant to which
         the Parent may now or  hereafter  be  required to issue  Parent  Common
         Shares. To the extent permitted under Applicable Laws, the Trust Shares
         may be used to satisfy the Parent's obligations

                                                                              13

         under this Section 4.10.

4.11     AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE ON LIQUIDATION OF THE PARENT

         (a)      The Parent will give the Trustee and the  Shareholders  notice
                  of each of the following  events (each a "Liquidation  Event")
                  at the time set forth below:

                  (i)     in the  event  of any  determination  by the  board of
                          directors  of  the  Parent  to   institute   voluntary
                          liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding-up  proceedings
                          with  respect  to the  Parent or to  effect  any other
                          distribution   of  assets  of  the  Parent  among  its
                          shareholders   for  the  purpose  of  winding  up  its
                          affairs,  at  least  sixty  (60)  days  prior  to  the
                          proposed   effective   date   of   such   liquidation,
                          dissolution, winding-up or other distribution; or

                  (ii)    immediately,  upon the  earlier of (A)  receipt by the
                          Parent  of  notice  of or  (B)  the  Parent  otherwise

                          suit,  petition or other  proceedings  with respect to
                          the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
                          of the Parent or to effect any other  distribution  of
                          assets of the Parent  notifying its  shareholders  for
                          the purpose of winding up its affairs.

         (b)      Such notice shall include a brief description of the automatic
                  exchange  of  Exchangeable  Shares  for Parent  Common  Shares
                  provided  for  in  Section   4.11(c)  and  the  ability  of  a
                  Shareholder not to participate in such automatic exchange.

         (c)      In order that the Shareholders  will be able to participate on
                  a pro rata basis with the holders of Parent  Common  Shares in
                  the  distribution of assets of the Parent in connection with a
                  Liquidation  Event,  on the  fifth  Business  Day prior to the
                  effective date of a Liquidation Event (the "Liquidation  Event
                  Effective  Date")  all of the  then  outstanding  Exchangeable
                  Shares  shall be  automatically  exchanged  for Parent  Common
                  Shares.  To effect such  automatic  exchange  the Parent shall
                  purchase each Exchangeable Non-Voting Share outstanding on the
                  fifth Business Day prior to the  Liquidation  Event  Effective
                  Date and held by Shareholders, and each Shareholder shall sell
                  the  Exchangeable  Shares  held  by it  at  such  time,  for a
                  purchase price per share equal to (a) the Current Market Price
                  of one (1) Parent Common Share on the fifth Business Day prior

                  equivalent  to the full amount of all  dividends  declared and
                  unpaid  on each  such  Exchangeable  Non-Voting  Share and all
                  dividends declared on Parent Common Shares which have not been
                  declared  on  such  Exchangeable  Shares  in  accordance  with
                  section 3 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions  (provided that

                  additional  amount  equivalent  to such  declared  and  unpaid
                  dividends).  In connection with such automatic  exchange,  the
                  Parent  will   provide  to  the   Shareholders   an  Officer's
                  Certificate  setting  forth the  calculation  of the  purchase
                  price for each Exchangeable  Non-Voting Share, together with a
                  notice of the anticipated Liquidation Event Effective Date.

         (d)      On the  fifth  Business  Day  prior to the  Liquidation  Event
                  Effective Date, the closing of the transaction of purchase and
                  sale  contemplated  by the automatic  exchange of Exchangeable
                  Shares  for  Parent  Common  Shares  shall be  deemed  to have
                  occurred,  and  each  Shareholder  shall  be  deemed  to  have
                  transferred  to the  Parent  all of the  Shareholder's  right,
                  title and interest in and to its Exchangeable Shares and shall
                  cease to be a Shareholder of such Exchangeable  Shares and the
                  Parent  shall  deliver or cause the  Trustee to deliver out of
                  the  Trust  Shares to the  Shareholder  Parent  Common  Shares
                  deliverable upon the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares
                  for Parent Common Shares and shall deliver to the  Shareholder
                  a check for the balance,  if any, of the total  purchase price
                  for  such   Exchangeable   Shares.   Concurrently   with  such
                  Shareholder ceasing to be a Shareholder, the Shareholder shall
                  be considered  and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of
                  Parent  Common  Shares  issued to it pursuant to the automatic
                  exchange of  Exchangeable  Shares for Parent Common Shares and
                  the   certificates   held   by  the   Shareholder   previously
                  representing   the   Exchangeable   Shares  exchanged  by  the
                  Shareholder   with  the  Parent  pursuant  to  such  automatic
                  exchange shall thereafter be deemed to represent Parent Common
                  Shares  delivered to the Shareholder by the Parent pursuant to
                  such  automatic   exchange  prior  to  the  surrender  by  the
                  Shareholder of the Exchangeable Non-Voting Share certificates.
                  Upon the request of a  Shareholder  and the  surrender  by the
                  Shareholder  of  Exchangeable  Non-Voting  Share  certificates
                  deemed to represent  Parent  Common  Shares,  duly endorsed in
                  blank and  accompanied by such  instruments of transfer as the
                  Parent may  reasonably  require,  the Parent shall  deliver or
                  cause  to  be  delivered  to  the   Shareholder   certificates
                  representing  Parent Common Shares of which the Shareholder is
                  the holder.

4.12     WITHHOLDING  RIGHTS.  The Parent  will retain tax counsel to advise the
         Parent and the Trustee on all income tax and withholding obligations of
         the Parent, the Trust and the Trustee. The Parent and the Trustee shall
         be entitled to deduct and  withhold  from the  consideration  otherwise
         payable  pursuant to this Agreement to any Shareholder  such amounts as
         the  Parent or the  Trustee  is  required  or  permitted  to deduct and
         withhold  with respect to the making of such  payment  under the United
         States  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986 as amended  (the  "Code"),  the
         Income Tax Act (Canada) or any provision of state, local, provincial or
         foreign  tax law.  To the extent that  amounts  are so  withheld,  such
         withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
         having been paid to the  Shareholder  of the shares in respect of which
         such deduction and  withholding  was made,  provided that such withheld
         amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate  taxing authority.  To
         the extent that the amount so required or  permitted  to be deducted or
         withheld from any payment to a Shareholder  exceeds the cash portion of
         the consideration

                                                                              15

         otherwise  payable to the  Shareholder,  the  Parent or the  Trustee is
         hereby  authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of at fair market value
         such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient
         funds to the  Parent  or the  Trustee,  as the case may be, in order to
         enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding  requirement and
         shall account to the relevant  Shareholder for any balance of such sale
         proceeds.

                                    ARTICLE 5
                                    DIVIDENDS

5.1      The holders of  Exchangeable  Shares will be entitled to participate in
         all dividends declared by Purchaser,  in accordance with the provisions
         of the Exchangeable Share Provisions and the Support Agreement.

5.2      The Trustee hereby expressly  waives,  for and on its own behalf and on
         behalf of all  Shareholders,  all rights to receive  dividends of every
         nature as may be payable to it as holder of the Trust  Shares,  and the
         parties  acknowledge  that the Parent need not include the Trust Shares
         in  its  calculations  for  purposes  of  determining  the  payment  of
         dividends,  and need not pay or  distribute  any  dividends  (either in
         cash,  shares  or  otherwise)  to the  Trustee  as  holder of the Trust
         Shares,  provided  however  that such  waiver may be  rescinded  by the
         Trustee upon receipt of notice from a  Shareholder  that  Purchaser has
         omitted  to pay any  dividends  otherwise  payable  or that  either the
         Parent or Purchaser  contests the right of the holders of  Exchangeable
         Shares to receive  dividends,  or the right to receive dividends on the
         Exchangeable  Shares that are  otherwise in doubt  whereupon the Parent
         will pay and the Trustee shall collect all dividends  paid on the Trust
         Shares  from  time to time  until the  Trustee  receives  an  Officer's
         Certificate  from Purchaser  certifying that Purchaser is in compliance
         with  its   obligations  to  pay  dividends  in  accordance   with  the
         Exchangeable Share Provisions. Any dividends received by the Trustee on
         the Trust Shares shall be paid to the  Shareholders  in the same manner
         as  dividends  would  have been paid by  Purchaser  to the  holders  of
         Exchangeable Shares.

5.3      For  clarity,  the Voting  Rights and  exchange  rights  granted by the
         Parent to the  Shareholders  hereunder do not in any manner  confer any
         additional  rights to the Shareholders,  including,  but subject to the
         provisions  of  the  Support  Agreement,   any  rights  to  receive  or
         participate in dividends declared or paid by the Parent.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                               SUPPORT PROVISIONS

6.1      USE OF TRUST SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH SUPPORT AGREEMENT. Pursuant
         to section  2.11 of the Support  Agreement,  the Trust  Shares  provide
         additional security for the Parent's and Purchaser's  obligations under
         the Share Exchange Agreement, the Exchangeable Share Provisions and the
         Support  Agreement.  In the event that  Purchaser  and the Parent  both
         default on their obligations to acquire the Exchangeable Shares

<PAGE>

                                                                              16

         pursuant to the Exchangeable  Share Provisions,  the Support Agreement,
         or Article 4 of this  Agreement,  a  Shareholder  may  provide  written
         notice to the Parent,  Purchaser  and the Trustee of such  default.  If
         such  default  is  not  cured  within  ten  (10)  Business   Days,  the
         Shareholder  may provide  written notice to the Trustee of such failure
         to cure.  The  Trustee  shall then use the Trust  Shares to satisfy the
         Parent's obligation to acquire the Exchangeable Shares as if the Parent
         had  instructed  the Trustee to use the Trust  Shares for such  purpose
         pursuant to this  Agreement.  The  Exchangeable  Shares acquired by the
         Trustee in such transaction  shall be distributed to the Parent. In the
         event that the Trustee uses the Trust Shares to so acquire Exchangeable
         Shares,  and if the Parent is  obligated to pay any declared but unpaid
         dividends (or dividends declared on Parent Common Shares which have not
         been declared on such Exchangeable  Shares in accordance with section 3
         of  the  Exchangeable  Share  Provisions),   the  Parent  shall  remain
         obligated to pay such amount to the Shareholder.

6.2      APPLICATION OF TRUST SHARES. At such time as either Purchaser or Parent
         acquires  Exchangeable Shares from a Shareholder,  it shall provide the
         Trustee  with  an  Officer's  Certificate  specifying  (i)  the  former
         Shareholder, (ii) the number of Exchangeable Shares acquired, (iii) the
         form of the acquisition,  designated by the provision of the applicable
         agreement  (Exchangeable  Share  Provisions,  Support Agreement or this
         Agreement) and (iv) the date of such acquisition. If such certification
         is made,  the Trustee shall  distribute to the Parent a number of Trust
         Shares  equal to the number of  Exchangeable  Shares so acquired by the
         Parent  (or, if so  requested  by the  Parent,  distribute  such Parent
         Common Shares to the former Shareholder on behalf of the Parent).

                             CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

7.1      POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE TRUSTEE. The rights, powers and authorities of
         the Trustee  under this  Agreement,  in its  capacity as trustee of the
         Trust, shall include:

         (a)      receiving and  depositing  the Trust Shares from the Parent as
                  trustee for and on behalf of the  Shareholders  in  accordance
                  with the provisions of this Agreement;

         (b)      distributing  materials  to  Shareholders  as provided in this
                  Agreement;

         (c)      holding title to the Trust Estate;

         (d)      investing any moneys forming, from time to time, a part of the
                  Trust Estate as provided in this Agreement; and

         (e)      taking such other  actions and doing such other  things as are
                  specifically provided in this Agreement.

<PAGE>

                                                                              17

         In the  exercise of such  rights,  powers and  authorities  the Trustee
         shall have (and is granted)  such  incidental  and  additional  rights,
         powers and authority not in conflict with any of the provisions of this
         Agreement  as the Trustee,  acting in good faith and in the  reasonable
         exercise of its discretion, may deem necessary or appropriate to effect
         the purpose of the Trust.  Any exercise of such  discretionary  rights,
         powers and  authorities  by the Trustee shall be final,  conclusive and
         binding  upon all  persons.  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary
         herein, the Trustee shall have no obligation to exercise any discretion
         in the  performance  of its  obligations  hereunder  and shall  only be
         required to act upon the express  written  instructions  of the Parent,
         Purchaser or the Shareholders. For greater certainty, the Trustee shall
         have only those duties as are set out specifically in this Agreement.

         The Trustee in exercising its rights,  powers,  duties and  authorities
         hereunder  shall act honestly and in good faith and in accordance  with
         its fiduciary  duties to the  Shareholders and shall exercise the care,
         diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in
         comparable circumstances. The Trustee shall not be required to take any
         notice  of,  or to do or to take any act,  action  or  proceeding  as a
         result of any default or breach of any provision hereunder,  unless and
         until notified in writing of such default or breach, which notice shall
         distinctly  specify the default or breach  desired to be brought to the
         attention  of the  Trustee  and,  in the  absence of such  notice,  the
         Trustee may for all purposes of this Agreement conclusively assume that
         no default or breach has been made in the  observance or performance of
         any  of  the  representations,  warranties,  covenants,  agreements  or
         conditions contained herein.

7.2      NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST.  The Trustee  represents  to the Purchaser and
         the Parent that at the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement
         there  exists  no  material  conflict  of  interest  in the role of the
         Trustee as a  fiduciary  hereunder  and the role of the  Trustee in any
         other  capacity.  The Trustee  shall,  within ninety (90) days after it
         becomes aware that such a material conflict of interest exists,  either
         eliminate  such  material  conflict of interest or resign in the manner
         and with the effect specified in Article 9.

7.3      DEALINGS WITH THIRD PARTIES.  The Purchaser and the Parent  irrevocably
         authorize the Trustee, from time to time, to:

         (a)      consult,  communicate  and otherwise  deal with any respective
                  registrars,  transfer  agents,  payment  agents  or any  other
                  person or entity  appointed from time to time by the Parent in
                  connection with any matter relating to the Exchangeable Shares
                  and Parent Common Shares; and

         (b)      requisition,  from time to time, (i) from any such  registrar,
                  transfer  agent  payment  agent or  other  person  or  entity,
                  appointed from time to time by the Parent, as applicable,  any
                  information  readily available from the records  maintained by
                  it which the Trustee may reasonably  require for the discharge
                  of its duties and responsibilities  under this Agreement;  and
                  (ii) from Purchaser,  the holder of Parent Common Shares,  and
                  any subsequent holder or agent of such shares, the share

<PAGE>

                                                                              18

                  certificates  issuable  upon the exercise from time to time of
                  the  Insolvency  Exchange  Right and pursuant to the Automatic
                  Exchange  Rights in the manner  specified in Article 4 hereof.
                  The  Purchaser  and the  Parent  irrevocably  authorize  their
                  respective  payment  agent,  or  any  other  authorized  agent
                  appointed  from time to time by the Parent to comply  with all
                  such requests.

7.4      BOOKS AND RECORDS.  The Trustee shall keep  available  for  inspection,
         during  normal  business  hours,  by the Parent and  Purchaser,  at the
         Trustee's  principal office,  correct and complete books and records of
         account  relating  to  the  Trustee's  actions  under  this  Agreement,
         including without  limitation all information  relating to mailings and
         instructions to and from Shareholders.

7.5      INCOME  TAX  RETURNS  AND  REPORTS.   The  Trustee  will  allocate  and
         distribute  all income and losses of the Trust to the  Shareholders  in
         each year such  that the Trust is not in a  position  to pay any tax or
         file any tax returns.  Shareholders will be individually and personally
         responsible  for all income and losses  incurred by the Trust.  In this
         regard,  the Parent will retain tax counsel on behalf of the Trust, and
         agrees to prepare and distribute to each  Shareholder all necessary tax
         forms  for them to  complete  their  United  States  and  Canadian  tax
         returns.  The Shareholders may obtain the advice and assistance of such
         experts as they may consider necessary or advisable.

7.6      INDEMNIFICATION PRIOR TO CERTAIN ACTIONS BY TRUSTEE.  The Trustee shall
         exercise any or all of the rights, duties, powers or authorities vested
         in it by this  Agreement  at the  request,  order or  direction  of any
         Shareholder upon such Shareholder  furnishing to the Trustee reasonable
         funding,  security  and  indemnity  against  the  costs,  expenses  and
         liabilities which may be incurred by the Trustee therein or thereby.

         The  Trustee  shall not be  required  to expend any of its own funds or
         otherwise  incur any financial  liability in the exercise of any of its
         rights, powers, duties or authorities, but instead shall be entitled to
         be fully funded, given security and indemnity in advance as aforesaid.

7.7      ACTIONS  BY  SHAREHOLDERS.  Shareholders  shall  be  entitled  to  take
         proceedings  in any court of competent  jurisdiction  to enforce any of
         their rights hereunder as against Purchaser and the Parent.

7.8      RELIANCE UPON  DECLARATIONS.  The Trustee shall not be considered to be
         in contravention of any of its rights,  powers,  duties and authorities
         hereunder  if,  when  required,  it acts and  relies in good faith upon
         lists, mailing labels, notices,  statutory declarations,  certificates,
         opinions,  reports or other papers or documents  furnished  pursuant to
         the provisions  hereof or required by the Trustee to be furnished to it
         in  the  exercise  of  its  rights,   powers,  duties  and  authorities
         hereunder.

         to the Trustee evidence of compliance with the conditions  provided for
         in this Agreement  relating to any action or step required or permitted
         to be taken by Purchaser  and/or the Parent for the Trustee  under this
         Agreement or as a result of any obligation imposed under this Agreement
         including,  without  limitation,  in respect of the Insolvency Exchange
         Right or the  Automatic  Exchange  Rights  and the  taking of any other
         action  to be  taken  by  the  Trustee  at  the  request  of or on  the
         application of Purchaser and the Parent forthwith if and when:

         (a)      such  evidence  is  required  by any  other  section  of  this
                  Agreement to be furnished  to the Trustee in  accordance  with
                  the terms of this Section 7.9; or

         (b)      the Trustee, in the exercise of its rights, powers, duties and
                  authorities  under this Agreement,  gives Purchaser and/or the
                  Parent written notice requiring it to furnish such evidence in
                  relation to any particular  action or obligation  specified in

         Rights, the Insolvency  Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Rights
         and, except as otherwise  specifically  provided herein,  such evidence
         may  consist  of  a  report  or  opinion  of  any  solicitor,  auditor,
         accountant,  appraiser,  valuer,  engineer or other expert or any other
         person whose  qualifications give authority to a statement made by him,
         provided  that if such  report or opinion is  furnished  by a director,
         officer or employee of Purchaser and/or the Parent shall be in the form
         of an Officer's Certificate or a statutory declaration.

         Each statutory declaration, certificate, opinion, report or other paper
         or document  furnished to the Trustee as evidence of compliance  with a

         under the terms of this  Agreement may or ought to be invested or which

         Trustee may be invested and reinvested in the name or under the control
         of the Trustee in securities  in which,  under the laws of the State of
         Pennsylvania,  trustees are authorized to invest trust moneys, provided
         that such  securities  are stated to mature  within two (2) years after
         their  purchase by the  Trustee,  and the Trustee  shall so invest such
         moneys on the written direction of Purchaser. Pending the investment of
         any moneys as  hereinbefore  provided,  such moneys may be deposited in
         the name of the Trustee in any bank,  loan or trust company  authorized
         to accept  deposits under the laws of the United States,  Canada or any
         state or  province  thereof,  at the rate of interest  then  current on
         similar deposits.

7.12     TRUSTEE  NOT  REQUIRED  TO GIVE  SECURITY.  The  Trustee  shall  not be
         required to give any bond or security  in respect of the  execution  of

         copy of the  instrument  or  resolution  containing  such  direction or
         request shall have been  delivered to the Trustee and the Trustee shall
         be  empowered  to act and  rely  upon any such  copy  purporting  to be
         authenticated and believed by the Trustee to be genuine.

7.14     CONFLICTING  CLAIMS.  If  conflicting  claims  or  demands  are made or
         asserted with

                                                                              21

         respect to any interest of any Shareholder in any Exchangeable  Shares,
         including  any   disagreement   between  the  heirs,   representatives,
         successors or assigns  succeeding to all or any part of the interest of
         any  Shareholder in any  Exchangeable  Shares  resulting in conflicting
         claims or demands being made in connection with such interest, then the
         Trustee  shall  be  entitled,  at its sole  discretion,  to  refuse  to
         recognize  or to comply with any such claim or demand.  In so refusing,
         the Trustee may elect not to exercise any Insolvency  Exchange Right or
         Automatic Exchange Rights subject to such conflicting claims or demands
         and in so doing,  the  Trustee  shall  not be or  become  liable to any
         person on account of such  election or its failure or refusal to comply
         with any such  conflicting  claims or  demands.  The  Trustee  shall be
         entitled to continue to refrain from acting and to refuse to act until:

         (a)      the  rights  of all  adverse  claimants  with  respect  to the
                  Insolvency Exchange Right or Automatic Exchange Rights subject
                  to such conflicting claims or demands have been adjudicated by
                  a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; or

         (b)      all differences with respect to the Insolvency  Exchange Right
                  or  Automatic  Exchange  Rights  subject  to such  conflicting
                  claims or demands  have been  conclusively  settled by a valid
                  written agreement binding on all such adverse  claimants,  and
                  the Trustee shall have been furnished with an executed copy of
                  such  agreement.  If the Trustee elects to recognize any claim
                  or comply with any demand made by any such  adverse  claimant,
                  it may in its discretion require such claimant to furnish such
                  surety bond or other security  satisfactory  to the Trustee as
                  it shall deem appropriate fully to indemnify it as between all
                  conflicting claims or demands.

7.15     ACCEPTANCE OF TRUST.  The Trustee  hereby accepts the Trust created and
         provided  for by and in this  Agreement  and agrees to perform the same
         upon the terms and  conditions set forth herein and to hold all rights,
         privileges  and benefits  conferred  hereby and by law in trust for the
         various persons who shall from time to time be Shareholders, subject to
         all the terms and conditions set forth herein.

7.16     VALIDITY  OF  CERTIFICATES.  If at any time in the  performance  of its
         duties under this  Agreement,  it shall be necessary for the Trustee to
         receive,  accept,  act or rely upon any certificate,  notice,  request,
         waiver, consent, receipt, direction,  affidavit or other paper, writing
         or document  furnished to it and  purporting  to have been  executed or
         issued by Purchaser, the Parent or the Shareholders or their authorized
         officers or  attorneys,  the Trustee  shall be entitled to rely and act
         upon the genuineness and authenticity of any such writing  submitted to
         it. It shall not be necessary  for the Trustee to ascertain  whether or
         not  the  persons  who  have  executed,  signed  or  otherwise  issued,
         authenticated  or  receipted  such papers,  writings or documents  have
         authority to do so or that they are the same persons  named  therein or
         otherwise  to pass upon any  requirement  of such  papers,  writing  or
         documents that may be essential for their validity or  effectiveness or
         upon the truth and  acceptability of any information  contained therein
         which the Trustee in good faith believes to be genuine.

         reasonable  compensation  for all of the services  rendered by it under
         this  Agreement  and will  reimburse  the  Trustee  for all  reasonable
         expenses and disbursements,  including,  without limitation, legal fees
         and expenses and the  reasonable  compensation  and  disbursements  all
         other  advisors,  agents and assistants not regularly in its employ and

         reimburse the Trustee for any expenses or disbursements  paid, incurred
         or  suffered  by the  Trustee  in any suit or  litigation  in which the
         Trustee is  determined  to have acted  fraudulently  or in bad faith or
         with gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct.  The  Trustee  shall be
         obliged to provide  only one account or invoice to the Parent from time
         to time during this Agreement in connection with any services  rendered
         by it under this Agreement on behalf of any of the parties.

                   INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

9.1      INDEMNIFICATION  OF  THE  TRUSTEE.   The  Parent,   Purchaser  and  the
         Shareholders jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless
         the Trustee and each of its directors,  officers,  partners,  employees
         and agents  appointed  and  acting in  accordance  with this  Agreement
         (collectively,  the "Indemnified  Parties") against all claims, losses,
         damages,  costs,  penalties,  fines and reasonable  expenses (including
         reasonable  expenses of the Trustee's  legal  counsel)  which,  without
         fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of
         such  Indemnified  Party,  may be paid,  incurred  or  suffered  by the
         Indemnified  Party  by  reason  of  or as a  result  of  the  Trustee's
         acceptance or  administration  of the Trust,  its  compliance  with its
         duties set forth in this Agreement, or any written or oral instructions
         delivered  to the Trustee by the Parent or Purchaser  pursuant  hereto.
         Subject to (ii),  below,  the Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to
         participate  at their own expense in the defence and, if the Parent and
         Purchaser so elect at any time after receipt of such notice,  either of
         them may assume the  defence  of any suit  brought to enforce  any such
         claim. In the event the Parent and/or  Purchaser  assume the defence of
         the Trustee,  no  settlement of any claim shall be entered into without
         the prior approval of the Trustee; and the Trustee shall have the right
         to re-assume the defence of any suit if the Parent or Purchaser fail to
         actively  continue such defence so assumed.  The Trustee shall have the
         right to employ  separate  counsel in any such suit and  participate in
         the defence  thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be
         at the  expense  of the  Trustee  unless:  (i) the  employment  of such
         counsel has been  authorized  by the Parent or  Purchaser;  or (ii) the
         named parties to any such suit include both the Trustee and the Parent;
         or (iii) Purchaser

<PAGE>

                                                                              23

         and the Trustee  shall have been advised by counsel  acceptable  to the
         Parent  or  Purchaser  that  there  may be one or more  legal  defences
         available  to the Trustee  which are  different  from or in addition to
         those  available  to the Parent or Purchaser  (in which case  Purchaser
         shall not have the right to assume  the  defence of such suit on behalf
         of the  Trustee  but  shall be liable  to pay the  reasonable  fees and
         expenses of counsel for the Trustee).

9.2      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Trustee shall not be liable for any act or
         omission by it except where such act or omission  occurs as a result of
         the Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall
         not be liable for any losses or damages due to the acts or omissions of
         third parties,  including without limitation, the failure by the Parent
         and/or  Purchaser to comply with its obligations  under this Agreement,
         as the case may be. Under no circumstances  shall the Trustee be liable
         for any special, indirect or consequential losses or damages (including
         without limitation loss of profits and penalties) whether caused by the
         Trustee's negligence or that of its employees, agents or otherwise. The
         Trustee shall not be held liable for any loss which may occur by reason
         of  depreciation  of the value of any part of the  Trust  Estate or any
         loss  incurred on any  investment of funds  pursuant to this  Agreement
         except to the extent that such loss is attributable to the fraud, gross
         negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Trustee.

                                CHANGE OF TRUSTEE

10.1     RESIGNATION.  The Trustee, or any trustee hereafter  appointed,  may at
         any time resign by giving  written  notice of such  resignation  to the
         Parent and Purchaser specifying the date on which it desires to resign,
         provided  that such  notice  shall never be given less than thirty (30)
         days  before  such  desired  resignation  date  unless  the  Parent and
         Purchaser  otherwise agree and provided  further that such  resignation
         shall not take effect until the date of the  appointment of a successor
         trustee  and  the  acceptance  of  such  appointment  by the  successor
         trustee.  Upon  receiving  such notice of  resignation,  the Parent and
         Purchaser  shall  promptly  appoint  a  successor  trustee  by  written
         instrument  in  duplicate,  one copy of which shall be delivered to the
         resigning trustee and one copy to the successor trustee.

10.2     REMOVAL. The Trustee, or any trustee hereafter appointed at any time on
         thirty (30) days' prior  notice by written  instrument  executed by the
         Parent  and  Purchaser,  in  duplicate,  one  copy of  which  shall  be
         delivered  to the  trustee  so  removed  and one copy to the  successor
         trustee.  Any successor trustee to be appointed upon the removal of the
         Trustee  shall  be  appointed  in  accordance  with the  provisions  as
         provided under Section 10.3 of this Agreement.

10.3     SUCCESSOR  TRUSTEE.  Any successor  trustee appointed as provided under
         this Agreement shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Parent and
         Purchaser and to its predecessor  trustee an instrument  accepting such
         appointment. Thereupon the resignation

                                                                              24

         or removal of the predecessor  trustee shall become  effective and such
         successor trustee,  without any further act, deed or conveyance,  shall
         become vested with all the rights,  powers,  duties and  obligations of
         its predecessor  under this Agreement with like effect as if originally
         named as trustee in this Agreement.  However, on the written request of
         the Parent and  Purchaser  or of the  successor  trustee,  the  trustee
         ceasing to act shall,  upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant
         to the provisions of this Agreement,  execute and deliver an instrument
         transferring to such successor  trustee all of the rights and powers of
         the trustee so ceasing to act.  Upon the request of any such  successor
         trustee,  the Parent and Purchaser and such  predecessor  trustee shall
         execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly
         vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and
         powers.

10.4     NOTICE OF  SUCCESSOR  TRUSTEE.  Upon  acceptance  of  appointment  by a
         successor  trustee as provided  herein the Parent and  Purchaser  shall
         cause to be mailed notice of the  succession of such trustee  hereunder
         to each  Shareholder  at the address of such  Shareholder  shown on the
         register  of  Shareholders  of  Exchangeable  Shares.  If the Parent or
         Purchaser  shall fail to cause such notice to be mailed within ten (10)
         days after  acceptance of  appointment  by the successor  trustee,  the
         successor  trustee  shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense
         of the Parent and Purchaser.

                              THE PARENT SUCCESSORS

11.1     CERTAIN  REQUIREMENTS IN RESPECT OF COMBINATION,  ETC. The Parent shall

         reorganization,   consolidation,   merger,  transfer,  sale,  lease  or
         otherwise)  whereby  all  or  substantially  all  of  its  undertaking,
         property  and assets  would become the property of any other person or,
         in the  case  of a  merger,  of the  continuing  corporation  resulting
         therefrom unless:

         (a)      such other person or continuing  corporation  is a corporation
                  (herein called the "Parent Successor")  incorporated under the
                  laws of any state of the  United  States or the laws of Canada
                  or any province thereof; and

         (b)      the Parent Successor,  by operation of law,  becomes,  without
                  more,  bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement or,
                  if not so bound, executes,  prior to or contemporaneously with
                  the consummation of such transaction a Agreement  supplemental
                  hereto and such other instruments (if any) as are satisfactory
                  to the  Trustee  and in the  opinion  of legal  counsel to the
                  Trustee are necessary or advisable to evidence the  assumption
                  by the Parent  Successor of liability  for all moneys  payable
                  and property  deliverable  hereunder  and the covenant of such

         execute and deliver the supplemental  Agreement provided for in Article
         12 and  thereupon the Parent  Successor  shall possess and from time to
         time may  exercise  each and every right and power of the Parent  under

         Parent  may be done and  performed  with like  force and  effect by the
         directors or officers of such the Parent Successor.

11.3     WHOLLY-OWNED  SUBSIDIARIES.   Nothing  herein  shall  be  construed  as
         preventing  the  share  exchange,  merger  or sale of any  wholly-owned
         subsidiary  of the Parent with or into the Parent,  the  winding-up  or
         merger of any  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Parent with or into the

         transferred  to the Parent or another  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the
         Parent.

of the  liquidation,  dissolution  or  winding-up  of the  Corporation,  whether
voluntary  or  involuntary,  or any  other  distribution  of the  assets  of the
Corporation, among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs.

                                    DIVIDENDS

3.1 A holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to receive and the Board
of  Directors  shall,  subject  to  applicable  law,  on  each  Parent  Dividend
Declaration Date, declare a dividend on each Exchangeable Share:

         (a)      in the case of a cash  dividend  declared on the Parent Common
                  Shares,  in an amount in cash for each  Exchangeable  Share in
                  U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the
                  Parent Dividend Declaration Date, in each case,  corresponding
                  to the cash dividend declared on each Parent Common Share;

         (b)      in the case of a stock dividend  declared on the Parent Common
                  Shares  to be paid in  Parent  Common  Shares  by the issue or
                  transfer by the  Corporation  of such  number of  Exchangeable
                  Shares for each  Exchangeable  Share as is equal to the number
                  of  Parent  Common  Shares  to be paid on each  Parent  Common
                  Share; or

         (c)      in the case of a dividend declared on the Parent Common Shares
                  in property other than cash or Parent Common  Shares,  in such
                  type and amount of property for each Exchangeable  Share as is
                  the same as or economically equivalent to (to be determined by
                  the Board of Directors as contemplated by

<PAGE>

                                                                               7

                  Section 3.5  hereof) the type and amount of property  declared
                  as a dividend on each Parent Common Share.

3.2 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, as applicable.

3.3  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
Section  3.1 (a)  hereof and the  sending of such a cheque to each  holder of an
Exchangeable  Share shall satisfy the cash dividend  represented  thereby unless
the cheque is not paid on presentation.  Certificates  registered in the name of
the registered  holder of Exchangeable  Shares shall be issued or transferred in
respect of any stock  dividends  contemplated  by Section 3.1 (b) hereof and the
sending of such a  certificate  to each  holder of an  Exchangeable  Share shall
satisfy the stock dividend  represented  thereby.  Such other type and amount of
property  in respect of any  dividends  contemplated  by Section  3.1 (c) hereof
shall be issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as
it shall  determine and the issuance,  distribution  or transfer  thereof by the
Corporation to each holder of an  Exchangeable  Share shall satisfy the dividend
represented  thereby.  No holder of an  Exchangeable  Share shall be entitled to
recover by action or other legal process  against the  Corporation  any dividend
that is  represented  by a  cheque  that  has not  been  duly  presented  to the
Corporation's  bankers for payment or that  otherwise  remains  unclaimed  for a
period of six years from the date on which such dividend was payable.

3.4 The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable  Shares
entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend  declared
on the  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 Parent Common Shares.

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

3.6 The  Board of  Directors  shall  determine,  in good  faith  and in its sole
discretion,  economic  equivalence  for the purposes of Section 3.1 hereof,  and
each such  determination  shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation and
its  shareholders.  In making each such  determination,  the  following  factors
shall,  without excluding other factors  determined by the Board of Directors to
be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors:

                                                                               8

         (a)      in the  case  of any  stock  dividend  or  other  distribution
                  payable in Parent  Common  Shares,  the number of such  shares
                  issued in  proportion  to the number of Parent  Common  Shares
                  previously outstanding;

         (b)      in the case of the  issuance  or  distribution  of any rights,
                  options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common
                  Shares (or securities  exchangeable for or convertible into or
                  carrying  rights  to  acquire  Parent  Common   Shares),   the
                  relationship  between the  exercise  price of each such right,
                  option or warrant and the Current Market Price;

         (c)      in the case of the issuance or  distribution of any other form
                  of  property  (including  without  limitation  any  shares  or
                  securities  of Parent of any class  other than  Parent  Common
                  Shares,  any  rights,  options  or  warrants  other than those
                  referred  to  in  Section  3.5(b)  above,   any  evidences  of
                  indebtedness  of or any  assets of  Parent)  the  relationship
                  between the fair market value (as  determined  by the Board of
                  Directors in the manner above  contemplated)  of such property
                  to be issued or distributed  with respect to each  outstanding
                  Parent Common Share and the Current Market Price; and

         d)       in all such cases,  the general  taxation  consequences of the
                  relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent
                  that  such   consequences   may  differ   from  the   taxation
                  consequences to holders of Parent Common Shares as a result of
                  differences  between  taxation  laws of Canada  and the United
                  States  (except for any  differing  consequences  arising as a
                  result of differing marginal taxation rates and without regard
                  to the  individual  circumstances  of holders of  Exchangeable
                  Shares).

                              CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS

4.1 So long as any of the Exchangeable  Shares are outstanding,  the Corporation
shall not at any time  without,  but may at any time with,  the  approval of the
holders of the  Exchangeable  Shares given as specified in Section 10.2 of these
share provisions:

         (a)      pay any  dividends  on the Common  Shares or any other  shares
                  ranking junior to the  Exchangeable  Shares,  other than stock
                  dividends  payable in Common  Shares or any such other  shares
                  ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, as the case may be;

<PAGE>

                                                                               9

         (b)      redeem or purchase or make any capital distribution in respect
                  of Common  Shares or any other  shares  ranking  junior to the
                  Exchangeable Shares;

         (c)      redeem or purchase any other shares of the Corporation ranking
                  equally  with the  Exchangeable  Shares  with  respect  to the
                  payment of dividends or on any liquidation distribution; or

         (d)      except  pursuant  to and in  accordance  with the terms of Bio
                  Syntech Options,  issue any  Exchangeable  Shares or any other
                  shares of the  Corporation  ranking  equally with, or superior
                  to,  the  Exchangeable  Shares  other  than  by way  of  stock
                  dividends to the holders of such Exchangeable Shares.

4.2 The restrictions in Sections 4.1(a),  (b), (c) and (d) above shall not apply
if all  dividends  on  the  outstanding  Exchangeable  Shares  corresponding  to
dividends  declared and paid to date on the Parent Common Shares shall have been
declared and paid on the Exchangeable Shares.

                                    ARTICLE 5

                           DISTRIBUTION ON LIQUIDATION

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 Exchangeable
Shares shall be entitled,  subject to applicable law, to receive from the assets
of the Corporation in respect of each Exchangeable  Share held by such holder on
the effective date (the "Liquidation Date") of such liquidation,  dissolution or
winding-up, before any distribution of any part of the assets of the Corporation
among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the
Exchangeable Shares, an amount per share (the "Liquidation Amount") equal to the
Current  Market Price of a Parent Common Share on the last Business Day prior to
the  Liquidation  Date,  which  shall be  satisfied  in full by the  Corporation
causing  to be  delivered  to such  holder  one Parent  Common  Share,  plus the
Dividend Amount.

5.2 On or promptly  after the  Liquidation  Date, and subject to the exercise by
Parent of the Call Right,  the  Corporation  shall cause to be  delivered to the
holders  of the  Exchangeable  Shares  the  Liquidation  Amount  for  each  such
Exchangeable   Share  upon   presentation  and  surrender  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 Articles of the Corporation and such

<PAGE>

                                                                              10

additional  documents and  instruments as the Transfer Agent and the Corporation
may reasonably  require,  at the registered  office of the Corporation or at any
office of the Transfer Agent as may be specified by the Corporation by notice to
the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.  Payment of the total Liquidation Amount
for such  Exchangeable  Shares shall be made by delivery to each holder,  at the
address of the holder recorded in the register of members 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 any office of the Transfer Agent as
may be specified  by the  Corporation  by notice to the holders of  Exchangeable
Shares, on behalf of the Corporation of certificates  representing Parent Common
Shares (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and  non-assessable  and
shall be free and clear of any lien,  claim or encumbrance)  and a cheque of the
Corporation  payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the  Corporation  in
respect of the remaining  portion,  if any, of the total Liquidation  Amount (in
each case less any amounts  withheld  on account of tax  required to be deducted
and withheld  therefrom).  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  proportionate part of the total
Liquidation  Amount,  unless  payment of 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 total Liquidation Amount
has been paid in the manner  hereinbefore  provided.  The Corporation shall have
the  right at any time  after the  Liquidation  Date to  deposit  or cause to be
deposited the total  Liquidation  Amount 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 with any  chartered
bank or trust Corporation 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 part of the total Liquidation Amount (in each case
less any amounts withheld on account of tax required to be deducted and withheld
therefrom) for such Exchangeable Shares 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 the total
Liquidation  Amount, the holders of the Exchangeable  Shares shall thereafter be
considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of the Parent Common Shares
delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf.

5.3 After the  Corporation  has satisfied its  obligations to pay the holders of
the Exchangeable  Shares the Liquidation  Amount per Exchangeable Share pursuant
to Section 5.1 of these share provisions,  such holders shall not be entitled to
share in any further distribution of the assets of the Corporation.

                                    ARTICLE 6
                   RETRACTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY HOLDER

6.1 A holder of  Exchangeable  Shares shall be entitled at any time,  subject to
the exercise by Parent of the Call Right 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 an amount per
share equal to the Current  Market  Price of a Parent  Common  Share on the last
Business Day prior to the Retraction Date (the "Retraction Price"),  which shall
be satisfied in full by the  Corporation  causing to be delivered to such holder
one Parent Common Share for each Exchangeable Share presented and surrendered by
the holder. To effect such redemption, the holder shall present and surrender at
the registered  office of the Corporation or at any office of the Transfer Agent
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 Articles of the  Corporation and such
additional  documents and  instruments as the Transfer Agent and 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:

         (a)      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;

         (b)      stating the Business  Day on which the holder  desires to have
                  the Corporation  redeem the Retracted  Shares (the "Retraction
                  Date"),  provided that the  Retraction  Date shall be not less
                  than 10 Business Days nor more than 15 Business Days 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 15th
                  Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is
                  received by the Corporation; and

         (c)      acknowledging,  as the case may be, the overriding  right (the
                  "Call  Right") of Parent to purchase all but not less than all
                  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  to  Parent  in
                  accordance with the Call Right on the terms and conditions set
                  out in Section 6.3 below.

<PAGE>

                                                                              12

6.2 Subject to the  exercise by Parent of the Call  Right,  upon  receipt by the
Corporation or the Transfer Agent in the manner  specified in Section 6.1 hereof
of a certificate or certificates  representing  the number of Retracted  Shares,
together with a Retraction Request,  and provided that the Retraction Request is
not  revoked  by  the  holder  in the  manner  specified  in  Section  6.7,  the
Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business
on the Retraction  Date and shall cause to be delivered to such holder the total
Retraction Price. If only a part of the Exchangeable  Shares  represented by any
certificate is redeemed (or purchased by Parent  pursuant to the Call Right),  a
new certificate for the balance of such  Exchangeable  Shares shall be issued to
the holder at the expense of the Corporation.

6.3 Upon receipt by the  Corporation of a Retraction  Request,  the  Corporation
shall  immediately  notify Parent  thereof and shall provide to Parent a copy of
the Retraction  Request. In order to exercise the Call Right, Parent must notify
the Corporation of its  determination to do so (the "Parent Call Notice") within
five Business Days of  notification  to Parent by the Corporation of the receipt
by the Corporation of the Retraction  Request.  If Parent does not so notify the
Corporation  within such five Business Day period,  the Corporation  will notify
the holder as soon as possible thereafter that Parent will not exercise the Call
Right.  If Parent  delivers the Parent Call Notice within such five Business Day
period, 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
Parent in accordance with the Call Right. In such event,  the Corporation  shall
not redeem the Retracted  Shares and Parent shall  purchase from such holder and
such holder shall sell to Parent on the Retraction Date the Retracted Shares for
a purchase price (the "Purchase  Price") per share equal to the Retraction Price
per share, plus on the designated payment date therefor,  to the extent not paid
by the Corporation on the designated payment date therefor, any Dividend Amount.
To the extent that Parent pays the Dividend  Amount in respect of the  Retracted
Shares,  the  Corporation  shall no longer be  obligated to pay any declared and
unpaid  dividends on such  Retracted  Shares.  Provided that Parent has complied
with Section 6.4, the closing of the purchase and sale of the  Retracted  Shares
pursuant to the 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 Parent  does not  deliver a Parent  Call Notice  within such five
Business Day period,  and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by
the holder in the manner specified in Section 6.7, the Corporation  shall redeem
the  Retracted  Shares  on the  Retraction  Date  and in  the  manner  otherwise
contemplated in this Article 6.

6.4 The  Corporation  or Parent,  as the case may be, shall deliver or cause the
Trustee to deliver to the relevant holder, at the address of the holder recorded
in the register of

<PAGE>

                                                                              13

members  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 any  office of the
Transfer  Agent as may be specified by the  Corporation by notice to the holders
of  Exchangeable  Shares,  certificates  representing  the Parent  Common Shares
(which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be
free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance)  registered in the name of the
holder or in such other name as the holder may request,  and, if applicable  and
on or before the payment date therefor, a cheque payable at par at any branch of
the  bankers of the  Corporation  or Parent,  as  applicable,  representing  the
aggregate Dividend Amount, in payment of the total Retraction Price or the total
Purchase Price,  as the case may be, in each case, less any amounts  withheld on
account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom, and such delivery
of such  certificates and cheques on behalf of the Corporation or by Parent,  as
the case may be, or by the  Transfer  Agent shall be deemed to be payment of and
shall satisfy and discharge  all  liability  for the total  Retraction  Price or
total  Purchase  Price,  as the  case  may be,  to the  extent  that the same is
represented  by such share  certificates  and cheques (plus any tax deducted and
withheld therefrom and remitted to the proper tax authority).

6.5 On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, the holder of the
Retracted  Shares shall cease to be a holder of such Retracted  Shares and shall
not be entitled to  exercise  any of the rights of a holder in respect  thereof,
other than the right to receive his  proportionate  part of 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 total  Retraction  Price or the total Purchase Price, as the case may be,
shall not be made as provided  in Section  6.4, in which case the rights of such
holder shall remain  unaffected  until 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 Parent  shall  thereafter  be
considered  and deemed  for all  purposes  to be a holder of the  Parent  Common
Shares delivered to it.

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 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 Parent shall not have  exercised the Call Right
with respect to the Retracted Shares, the Corporation shall only be obligated to

<PAGE>

                                                                              14

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 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 and shall  issue 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, 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  solvency  requirements  or  other  provisions  of
applicable  law shall be deemed by giving  the  Retraction  Request  to  require
Parent to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date
or as soon as practicable  thereafter on payment by Parent to such holder of the
Purchase Price for each such Retracted Share, all as more specifically  provided
in the Exchange and Voting Agreement.

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 Parent shall be deemed to have been revoked.

                                    ARTICLE 7
              REDEMPTION OF EXCHANGEABLE SHARES BY THE CORPORATION

7.1 Subject to  applicable  law, and provided  Parent has not exercised the Call
Right, the Corporation shall on the Redemption Date redeem all but not less than
all of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares for an amount per share equal to
the Current Market Price of a Parent Common Share on the last Business Day prior
to the Redemption  Date (the  "Redemption  Price"),  which shall be satisfied in
full by the  Corporation  causing to be delivered to each holder of Exchangeable
Shares one Parent Common Share for each Exchangeable  Share held by such holder,
together with the Dividend Amount.

7.2 In any case of a redemption of Exchangeable Shares under this Article 7, the
Corporation  shall,  at least 60 days before the  Redemption  Date (other than a
Redemption  Date  established in connection  with a Parent Control  Transaction,
send or cause to be sent

<PAGE>

                                                                              15

to each holder of  Exchangeable  Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by
the  Corporation or the purchase by Parent under the Call Right, as the case may
be, of the Exchangeable  Shares held by such holder. In the case of a Redemption
Date  established in connection with a Parent Control  Transaction,  the written
notice of redemption by the Corporation or the purchase by Parent under the Call
Right  will be sent on or before  the  Redemption  Date,  on as many days  prior
written notice as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation
to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances. In any such case, such notice
shall set out the  formula  for  determining  the  Redemption  Price or the Call
Purchase  Price,  as the case may be, the  Redemption  Date and, if  applicable,
particulars of the Call Right.

7.3 On or after the Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by Parent of the
Call Right,  the  Corporation  shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the
Exchangeable   Shares  to  be  redeemed  the  Redemption  Price  for  each  such
Exchangeable  Share,  together with the Dividend  Amount upon  presentation  and
surrender at the  registered  office of the  Corporation or at any office of the
Trustee  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 Articles of the  Corporation and such
additional  documents and  instruments as the Transfer Agent and the Corporation
may  reasonably  require.  Payment  of  the  total  Redemption  Price  for  such
Exchangeable Shares, together with payment of the Dividend Amount, shall be made
by  delivery  to each  holder,  at the  address  of the holder  recorded  in the
register of members of the  Corporation  or by holding for pick-up by the holder
at the  registered  office of the  Corporation  or at any office of the Transfer
Agent as may be specified by the  Corporation  in such notice,  on behalf of the
Corporation  of  certificates  representing  Parent  Common Shares (which shares
shall be duly  issued as fully  paid and non-  assessable  and shall be free and
clear of any lien,  claim or  encumbrance)  and, if applicable,  a cheque of the
Corporation  payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the  Corporation  in
payment of any  Dividend  Amounts,  in each case,  less any amounts  withheld on
account of tax required to be deducted and withheld therefrom.  On and after the
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  proportionate part of the total Redemption Price and any
Dividend  Amount,  unless payment of the total Redemption Price and any Dividend
Amount 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  the  total
Redemption  Price and any  Dividend  Amount  shall  have been paid in the manner
hereinbefore  provided.  The Corporation  shall have the right at any time after
the  sending of notice of its  intention  to redeem the  Exchangeable  Shares as
aforesaid to deposit or cause to

                                                                              16

be deposited the total  Redemption Price for and the full amount of the Dividend
Amount on (except as otherwise  provided in this  Section 7.3) 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 with any chartered bank or trust  Corporation in Canada named
in such  notice,  less any  amounts  withheld  on account of tax  required to be
deducted and withheld  therefrom.  Upon the later of such deposit being made and
the 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  Redemption  Date, as the case may be, shall be limited to
receiving  their  proportionate  part  of the  total  Redemption  Price  and the
Dividend 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.  Upon  such  payment  or  deposit  of the total
Redemption Price and the full Dividend  Amount,  the holders of the Exchangeable
Shares shall  thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders
of the Parent Common Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf.

                            PURCHASE FOR CANCELLATION

8.1 Subject to applicable  law, the Corporation may at any time and from time to
time purchase for cancellation  all or any part of the outstanding  Exchangeable
Shares  at any  price by tender  to all the  holders  of record of  Exchangeable
Shares then outstanding or through the facilities of any stock exchange on which
the  Exchangeable  Shares  are  listed or quoted at any price per  share.  If in
response to an invitation  for tenders under the provisions of this Section 8.1,
more  Exchangeable  Shares are tendered at a price or prices  acceptable  to the
Corporation  than the  Corporation  is prepared to  purchase,  the  Exchangeable
Shares to be purchased by the Corporation shall be purchased as nearly as may be
pro rata according to the number of shares tendered by each holder who submits a
tender to the  Corporation,  provided that when shares are tendered at different
prices,  the pro rating  shall be effected  (disregarding  fractions)  only with
respect to the shares  tendered at the price at which more shares were  tendered
than the Corporation is prepared to purchase after the Corporation has purchased
all the shares tendered at lower prices. If part only of the Exchangeable Shares
represented by any  certificate  shall be purchased,  a new  certificate for the
balance of such shares shall be issued at the expense of the Corporation.

10.1 The  rights,  privileges,  restrictions  and  conditions  attaching  to the
Exchangeable  Shares  may be added  to,  changed  or  removed  but only with the

specified.

change or remove any right, privilege, restriction or condition attaching to the
Exchangeable Shares or any other matter requiring the approval or consent of the
holders of the  Exchangeable  Shares  shall be deemed to have been  sufficiently
given if it shall have been given in accordance with applicable law subject to a
minimum  requirement that such approval be evidenced by resolution passed by not
less  than  two-thirds  of the votes  cast on such  resolution  at a meeting  of
holders of  Exchangeable  Shares duly called and held at which the holders of at
least 10% of the  outstanding  Exchangeable  Shares at that time are  present or
represented  by proxy;  provided  that if at any such  meeting the holders of at
least 10% of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares at that time are not present or
represented  by proxy within  one-half  hour after the time  appointed  for such
meeting,  then the meeting  shall be  adjourned  to such date not less than five
days  thereafter and to such time and place as may be designated by the Chairman
of such meeting.  At such adjourned  meeting the holders of Exchangeable  Shares
present or  represented by proxy thereat may transact the business for which the
meeting was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by the affirmative
vote of not less than  two-thirds  of the votes cast on such  resolution at such
meeting  shall  constitute  the  approval  or  consent  of  the  holders  of the
Exchangeable Shares.

                  Exchangeable Shares thereunder;

         (b)      making such provisions or modifications  not inconsistent with
                  such  agreement as may be necessary or desirable  with respect
                  to matters or questions arising  thereunder which, in the good
                  faith opinion of the Board of  Directors,  it may be expedient
                  to make,  provided that the Board of Directors shall be of the
                  good faith opinion, after consultation with counsel, that such

                     LEGEND; CALL RIGHTS; WITHHOLDING RIGHTS

who have  intervened to the Exchange and Voting  Agreement shall contain or have
affixed  thereto  a  legend  in form  and on  terms  approved  by the  Board  of

Exchange and Voting  Agreement  (including  the  provisions  with respect to the
voting rights, exchange right and automatic exchange thereunder).

12.2 The  Corporation,  Parent and the  Trustee  shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from any dividend or consideration  otherwise  payable to any holder of
Exchangeable  Shares such amounts as the  Corporation,  Parent or the Trustee is
required or permitted to deduct and withhold  with respect to such payment under
the Income Tax Act (Canada),  the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or
any provision of provincial,  state,  local or foreign tax law, in each case, as
amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall
be  treated  for all  purposes  hereof as having  been paid to the holder of the
shares in respect of which such  deduction and  withholding  was made,  provided
that such  withheld  amounts are  actually  remitted to the  appropriate  taxing
authority. To the extent that the amount so required or permitted to be deducted
or  withheld  from any  payment  to a holder  exceeds  the cash  portion  of the
consideration  otherwise payable to the holder, the Corporation,  Parent and the
Trustee are hereby  authorized  to sell or otherwise  dispose of such portion of
the   consideration  as  is  necessary  to  provide   sufficient  funds  to  the
Corporation,  Parent or the Trustee,  as the case may be, to enable it to comply
with such deduction or withholding  requirement and the  Corporation,  Parent or
the Trustee shall notify the holder  thereof and remit any unapplied  balance of
the net proceeds of such sale.
