11.1.1
For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Formula Fair Market Value” of any number of Securities being sold at any time (except the period from the date of this Agreement until August 31, 1998, during which period the Formula Fair Market Value of any Securities will be deemed to be the aggregate price paid for such Securities upon the issue of such Securities by the Corporation in connection with the plan of arrangement completed concurrently with the execution of this Agreement) will be determined by the Board, acting reasonably and in good faith.”

If in the reasonable opinion of the Shareholder the Formula Fair Market Value as determined by the Board is inappropriate and the Shareholder holds Securities with an approximate fair market value in excess of $150,000:
(i)
the Corporation and the Shareholder will meet to negotiate and attempt to agree upon the fair market value of the Securities held by the Shareholder, in which case the amount agreed to will be deemed to be the Formula Fair Market Value:

if the Corporation and the Shareholder cannot agree pursuant to section 11.1.2(i), the Corporation will propose a fair market value for the Securities, and the Shareholder, upon learning of the proposed price, may either:

request a valuation (which valuation will be prepared by a qualified business valuator agreed to in writing by each of the Corporation and Shareholder or, failing such agreement, by a qualified business valuator independent of each of the Shareholders selected by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants) of the Corporation in order to determine the fair market value of the Securities (the “Valuation Price”), in which case the Valuation Price will be deemed to be the Formula Fair Market Value; and
(iii)
if a valuation is prepared pursuant to section 11.1.2, the Corporation will be liable for the cost of the valuation unless the Valuation Price is less than or equal to 110% of the price for the Securities that was proposed by the Corporation pursuant to section 11.1.2(ii), and otherwise the Shareholder will be liable for the cost of the valuation, with the cost of the valuation being deducted from the proceeds of the sale of the Securities.”
