(f) | at the same time as the step contemplated by Subsection 3.2(e) above, with respect to each Two Lions Technologies Share held by a Dissenting Shareholder: |
(i) | the Dissenting Shareholder who was the registered holder of such Share immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to be the holder of such Share and the name of such Dissenting Shareholder will be removed from the securities register of Two Lions Technologies with respect to such Two Lions Technologies Share; and |

4.1 | Exchange of Share Certificates. Each Two Lions Technologies Shareholder shall be entitled to receive the DCS Share Consideration issuable pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement in the manner set out in Subsection 3.2(b) above on the Effective Date and the shareholders of Two Lions Technologies (except for any shareholders which have exercised their Rights of Dissent as defined in Section 5.1 below) shall be deemed to have transferred their certificated or uncertificated shares, as the case may be, to Direct Communication Solutions without any executed writing, instrument or other formality. |
4 | P a g e
4.2 | Transfer of Ownership. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Two Lions Technologies Shares that is not registered in the records of Two Lions Technologies, certificates representing the proper numbers of Direct Communication Solutions Common Shares may be issued to the transferee if the certificate representing such Two Lions Technologies Shares is presented to Two Lions Technologies together any documents required by Two Lions Technologies to evidence and effect such transfer. |

4.4 | Unsurrendered Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by Article 4.1, each certificate or agreement which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more outstanding Two Lions Technologies Share shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the securities contemplated by Article 4.1. |
4.5 | Distributions with respect to Unsurrendered Share Certificates. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Direct Communication Solutions Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Two Lions Technologies Shares that were exchanged pursuant to Article 4.1, unless and until the holder of record of such certificate shall surrender such certificate in accordance with Article 4.1. |

In such circumstances, the person ultimately entitled to any certificate hereunder shall be deemed to have surrendered such entitlement to Direct Communication Solutions, together with all entitlement to dividends and distributions thereon held for such person for no consideration. |
