ARTICLE
V: SHARES OF STOCK
Section 1
- - Certificate of Stock
a) The
shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates or shall be
uncertificated shares.
b) Certificated
shares of the Corporation shall be signed, either manually or by facsimile, by
officers or agents designated by the Corporation for such purposes, and shall
certify the number of shares owned by the shareholder in the
Corporation. Whenever any certificate is countersigned or otherwise
authenticated by a transfer agent or transfer clerk, and by a registrar, then a
facsimile of the signatures of the officers or agents, the transfer agent or
transfer clerk or the registrar of the Corporation may be printed or
lithographed upon the certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. If
the
Corporation uses facsimile signatures of its officers and agents on its stock
certificates, it cannot act as registrar of its own
stock, but its transfer agent and registrar may be identical if the
institution acting in those dual capacities countersigns or otherwise
authenticates any stock certificates in both capacities. If any
officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such
certificate, shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is
issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same
effect as if he were such officer at the date of its issue.
c) If
the Corporation issued uncertificated shares as provided for in these Bylaws,
within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such uncertificated
shares, and at least annually thereafter, the Corporation shall send the
shareholder a written statement certifying the number of shares owned by such
shareholder in the Corporation.
d) Except
as otherwise provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of
uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of
certificates representing shares of the same class and series shall be
identical.
e) If
a share certificate:
(i)
is worn out or defaced, the Directors shall, upon
production to them of the certificate and upon such
other terms, if any, as they may
think fit, order the certificate to
be cancelled and issue a new certificate;
(ii)
is lost, stolen or destroyed, then
upon proof being given to the
satisfaction of the Directors and upon
and indemnity, if any being given, as the
Directors think adequate, the Directors shall
issue a new certificate; or
(iii)
represents more than one share and the registered owner surrenders it
to the Corporation with a written request that the
Corporation issue in his or her name two or
more certificates, each representing a
specified number of shares and in the aggregate representing the same
number of shares as the certificate
so surrendered, the Corporation shall cancel the
certificate so surrendered and issue new certificates in accordance with such
request.
Section 2
- - Transfers of Shares
a) Transfers
or registration of transfers of shares of the Corporation shall be made on the
stock transfer books of the Corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by
his or her attorney duly authorized by a written power of attorney; and in the
case of shares represented by certificates, only after the surrender to the
Corporation of the certificates representing such shares with
such shares properly endorsed, with such evidence of the authenticity of such
endorsement, transfer, authorization and
other matters as
the Corporation may reasonably require, and
the payment of all stock transfer taxes due thereon.
b) The
Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or
shares as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and, accordingly, shall
not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable or other claim to, or interest
in, such share or shares on the part of any other person,
whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as
otherwise expressly provided by law.
Section 3
- - Record Date
a) The
Directors may fix in advance a date, which must not be more than 60 days
permitted by the preceding the date of a meeting of shareholders or a class of
shareholders, or of the payment of a dividend or of the proposed taking of any
other proper action requiring the determination of shareholders as the record
date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to
attend and vote at, a meeting and an adjournment of the meeting, or entitled to
receive payment of a dividend or for any other proper purpose and, in such case,
notwithstanding anything in
these Bylaws, only shareholders of
records on the date so fixed will be deemed to be the shareholders for the
purposes of this Bylaw.
b) Where
no record date is so fixed for the determination of shareholders as provided in
the preceding Bylaw, the date on which the notice is mailed or on which the
resolution declaring the dividend is adopted, as the case may be, is the record
date for such determination.
Section 4
- - Fractional Shares
Notwithstanding
anything else in these Bylaws, the Corporation, if the Director so resolve, will
not be required to issue fractional shares in connection with an amalgamation,
consolidation, exchange or conversion. At the discretion of the Directors,
fractional interests in shares may be rounded to the nearest whole number, with
fractions of 1/2 being rounded to the next highest whole number, or may be
purchased for cancellation by the Corporation for
such consideration as the Directors determine. The Directors may
determine the manner in which fractional interests in shares are to be
transferred and delivered to the Corporation in exchange for consideration and a
determination so made is binding upon all shareholders of the Corporation. In
case shareholders having fractional interests in shares fail to deliver them to
the Corporation in accordance with a determination made by the Directors, the
Corporation may deposit with the Corporation's Registrar and Transfer Agent a
sum sufficient to pay the consideration payable by the Corporation for the
fractional interests in shares, such deposit to be set aside in trust for such
shareholders. Such setting aside is deemed to be payment to such
shareholders for the fractional interests in shares not so delivered which will
thereupon not be considered as outstanding and such shareholders will not be
considered to be shareholders of the Corporation with respect thereto and will
have no right except to receive payment of
the money so set aside and deposited upon delivery of the
certificates for
the shares held prior to
the amalgamation, consolidation, exchange or conversion
which result in fractional interests in shares.

shareholders or to the shareholders of one or more classes or
series.
b) Shares
of one class or series may not be issued as a share dividend to shareholders of
another class or series unless such issuance is in accordance with the Articles
of Incorporation and:
(i)
a majority of the current shareholders of the class or series to be issued
approve the issue; or
(ii)
there are no outstanding shares of the class or series of shares that are
authorized to be issued as a dividend.

document.
