Schedule A
To By-law No. 1

Rights, Privileges, Restrictions and Conditions Applying to Each Series of Class A First Preferred Shares as a Class.

1.
Interpretation

        The term "Preferred Shares" shall mean the Class A first preferred shares as a class.

2.
Issue in Series

        The Preferred Shares may at any time and from time to time be issuable in one or more series, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Bank Act as now existing or hereafter amended (herein referred to as the "Bank Act"). The Board shall, subject to the provisions of the Bank Act, the provisions herein contained and to any conditions attaching to any outstanding series of Preferred Shares, by resolution duly passed before the issue of any Preferred Shares of any series, fix the number of Preferred Shares to be comprised in such series, fix the rights, privileges, restrictions, and conditions to be attached to the Preferred Shares of such series, including, but without in any way limiting or restricting the generality of the foregoing, the designation thereof, the rate or method of calculation or amount of preferential dividends, and whether such rate, amount or method or calculation shall be subject to change or adjustment in the future, the date or dates and place or places of payment thereof, the consideration for which the Preferred Shares of any series are to be issued, the consideration and the terms and conditions of any purchase for cancellation or redemption thereof, conversion rights (if any), voting rights (if any), the terms and conditions of any purchase fund or sinking fund, the restrictions (if any) respecting payment of dividends on or any repayment of capital in respect of any shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares, rights or retraction (if any) vested in the holders thereof, and constraints on the transfer of the Preferred Shares.

3.
Priority

        The Preferred Shares of each series shall, with respect to priority in payment of dividends and, as more particularly set forth in paragraph 6 hereof, with respect to distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Bank among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, be entitled to a preference over the common shares of the Bank and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares, and the Preferred Shares of each series may also be given such other preferences over the common shares and any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares as may be determined as to the respective series authorized to be issued. The priority, in the case of cumulative dividends, shall be with respect to all prior completed periods in respect of which such dividends were payable and, in the case of non-cumulative dividends, shall be with respect to all dividends declared and unpaid, plus such further amounts, if any, as may be specified in the provisions attaching to a particular series.

9


4.
Series to Rank Equally

        The Preferred Shares of each series shall rank on a parity with the Preferred Shares of every other series with respect to priority in payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Bank among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up of its affairs.

5.
Dividends

        The holders of the Preferred Shares of each series shall be entitled to receive and the Bank shall pay thereon as and when declared by the Board, subject to the provisions of the Bank Act, dividends in the amounts specified or determinable in accordance with the provisions of such series and such dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative and payable in cash (including a foreign currency) or by way of a stock dividend or in any other lawful manner. Dividends which are cumulative, shall accrue from the date of issue of the Preferred Shares on the amount paid up thereon. In the case of dividends payable in cash, drafts of the Bank payable at par at any branch of the Bank for the time being in Canada shall be issued for the amount of such dividends less any tax required to be deducted. Dividend drafts shall be forwarded to each holder of Preferred Shares in accordance with the by-laws of the Bank. In the case of a dividend payable in cash, the forwarding of such a draft to a holder of Preferred Shares or payment to the credit of a holder on the direction of such holder shall be a full and complete discharge of the Bank's obligation to pay such dividend to such holder. If on any date for the payment of any dividend on the Preferred Shares of any series, the dividend payable on such date is not paid in full on all the Preferred Shares of such series then issued and outstanding, such dividend or the unpaid part thereof shall be paid on a subsequent date or dates determined by the Board on which the Bank shall have sufficient moneys or property properly applicable to the payment of the same. The holders of the Preferred Shares of any series shall not be entitled to any dividends other than or in excess of those expressly provided for in the preferences, rights, conditions, restrictions, limitations or prohibitions attached to the Preferred Shares of such series.

6.
Priority on Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-up

        In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Bank among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, before any amount shall be paid to or any assets distributed among the holders of the common shares or shares of any other class of the Bank ranking junior to the Preferred Shares, the holder of a Preferred Share of a series shall be entitled to receive to the extent provided for with respect to such Preferred Share by such series, (i) an amount equal to the amount paid up thereon (ii) such premium, if any, as has been provided for with respect to the Preferred Shares of such series and (iii) all unpaid cumulative dividends, if any, on such Preferred Share (which for such purpose shall be calculated as if such cumulative dividends were accruing daily for the period from the expiration of the last period for which cumulative dividends have been paid up to and including the date of distribution) and, in the case of non-cumulative Preferred Shares, all declared and unpaid non-cumulative dividends. After payment to the holders of the Preferred Shares of the amounts so payable to them, they shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the property or assets of the Bank.

10


7.
Voting Rights

        Subject to the provisions of the Bank Act and except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the holders of the Preferred Shares of each series shall not, as such, have any voting rights for the election of directors of the Bank or for any other purpose, nor shall they be entitled to receive any notice of or attend shareholders' meetings, except to the extent provided in any series.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of meetings of shareholders called for the purpose of authorizing the dissolution of the Bank or the sale of its business or assets.

8.
Creation and Issue of Additional Preferred Shares

        The Bank shall not, without the prior approval of the holders of the Preferred Shares given as hereinafter specified,

unless at the date of such creation or issuance all cumulative dividends up to and including the last completed period for which such cumulative dividends shall be payable, shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment in respect of each series of cumulative Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding and any declared and unpaid non-cumulative dividends shall have been paid or set apart for payment in respect of each series of non-cumulative Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding.

9.
Approval of Preferred Shareholders

        The approval of the holders of Preferred Shares required as to any and all matters referred to herein (in addition to or as distinct from any vote, authorization, confirmation or approval required by the Bank Act) may be given by an instrument or instruments in writing signed by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued and outstanding Preferred Shares or by a resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a general meeting of the holders of Preferred Shares duly called for that purpose.

11


10.
Amendment

        Any by-law to amend, delete or vary any preferences, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Preferred Shares shall, in addition to the requirements of the Bank Act, not be effective until it has been confirmed either in writing by the holders of all of the Preferred Shares for the time being outstanding or by at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting of the holders of the Preferred Shares duly called for that purpose at which the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares are present or represented by proxy. If at any such meeting the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred Shares are not present or represented by proxy within one-half an hour after the time appointed for such meeting, such meeting shall be adjourned to such date being not less than 15 days later and to such time and place as may be appointed by the chairman and not less than 7 days' notice shall be given of such adjourned meeting but it shall not be necessary in such notice to specify the purpose for which the meeting was originally called.

        At such adjourned meeting, the holders of Preferred Shares present or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at such adjourned meeting shall constitute the confirmation of the holders of the Preferred Shares referred to above.

        The formalities to be observed in respect of the giving of notice of any such meeting or adjourned meeting and the conduct thereof shall be those from time to time prescribed by the Bank Act and the by-laws of the Bank with respect to meetings of shareholders. On every poll taken at a meeting or adjourned meeting of holders of Preferred Shares every holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Preferred Share held by such shareholder.
