Retraction at Option of Holder:

A holder of Fourth Preferred Shares shall be entitled at any time prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date to require the Corporation to redeem, not later than the fifth Business Day after the day on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation (the “Retraction Date”), any or all of the Fourth Preferred Shares registered in the name of such holder. The Corporation may fully satisfy its obligation to redeem such Fourth Preferred Shares by either (a) delivering to such holder a Laidlaw Share Unit in respect of each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed or (b) by payment of a cash amount equal to the Cash Retraction Amount in respect of each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed and, in either case, by payment of any unpaid Dividend Amount (collectively, the “Retraction Price”). To effect a redemption hereunder, the holder must present and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation the certificate representing the Fourth Preferred Shares that the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Fourth Preferred Shares under the Canada Business Corporations Act and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require, together with a duly executed statement (the “Retraction Request”) specifying that the holder desires to have all or any of the Fourth Preferred Shares represented by such certificate (the “Retracted Shares”) redeemed by the Corporation.

In the case of a redemption of Fourth Preferred Shares under this clause (j), upon receipt by the Corporation in the manner specified herein of a certificate representing the number of Fourth Preferred Shares which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with a Retraction Request, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified herein, the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date. On the Retraction Date, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the relevant

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 its proportionate part of the aggregate Retraction Price for such Retracted Shares, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the aggregate Retraction Price payable to such holder shall not be made, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such aggregate Retraction Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (j), 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, the Corporation shall only be obligated to 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 and more than one holder has delivered a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with clause (j)(ii) on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each such holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to clause (j)(ii) hereof.

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.

Mandatory Redemption by the Corporation:

Subject to applicable law, the Corporation shall on the Mandatory Redemption Date redeem all of the then outstanding Fourth Preferred Shares. The Corporation may fully satisfy its obligation to redeem such Fourth Preferred Shares by either (a) delivering to such holder a Laidlaw Share Unit in respect of each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed or (b) by payment of a cash amount equal to the Cash Redemption Amount in respect of each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed and, in either case, by payment of any unpaid Dividend Amount (collectively, the “Redemption Price”).

In case of a redemption of Fourth Preferred Shares under this clause (k), the Corporation shall, at least five Business Days before the Mandatory Redemption Date, send or cause to be sent to each holder of Fourth Preferred Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Corporation of the Fourth Preferred Shares held by such holder. Such notice shall set out the formula for determining the Redemption Price.

On or after the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to holders of the Fourth Preferred Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Price for each such Fourth Preferred Share upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation of the certificates representing such Fourth Preferred Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Fourth Preferred Shares under the Canada Business Corporations Act, and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require. Payment of the aggregate Redemption Price for the Fourth Preferred Shares held by a holder shall be made either (a) if the Corporation has elected to satisfy its obligation to pay the Redemption Price by delivery of a Laidlaw Share Unit for each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed, by delivery to such holder, at the address of such holder recorded in the securities register of the Corporation or by holding for pick up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation, of certificates representing such Laidlaw Shares (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim) duly endorsed for transfer in the name of the holder or in such other name as the holder may request or (b) if the Corporation has elected to satisfy its obligation to pay the Redemption Price by payment of the Cash Redemption Amount for each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed, a cheque of the Corporation in the amount of the Cash Redemption Amount for each Fourth Preferred Share payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation and (c) in either case, a cheque of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation in payment of the remaining portion, if any, of the aggregate Redemption Price for each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed.

On and after the Mandatory Redemption Date, the holders of the Fourth Preferred Shares called for redemption 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, unless payment of the aggregate Redemption Price deliverable to a holder for Fourth Preferred 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 holder shall remain unaffected until the aggregate Redemption Price deliverable to such

Adjustment Provisions

The dividend, retraction, redemption or other relevant provisions of the Fourth Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment or modification from time to time in the event that: Laidlaw shall divide either class of the Laidlaw Shares into a greater number of shares or shall consolidate the Laidlaw Shares into a lesser number of shares; there is a capital reorganization of Laidlaw or a consolidation or merger or amalgamation of Laidlaw with or into any other company or body corporate, including by way of sale whereby all or substantially all of Laidlaw’s undertaking and assets would become the property of any other company or body corporate; Laidlaw shall issue options, rights or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of either class of the Laidlaw Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into additional shares) at a subscription, purchase, exchange of conversion price per share less than 95% of the market price in effect on the record date for such issue; Laidlaw shall issue or distribute to the holders of the Laidlaw Shares shares of any class other than Laidlaw Class A or Laidlaw Class B Shares, or options, rights or warrants, or evidences of indebtedness or any other assets (apart from cash dividends paid in the ordinary course); Laidlaw shall either declare (i) a cash dividend on one class of Laidlaw Shares without contemporaneously declaring a cash dividend on the other

In any of the foregoing events, the adjustment shall be such as is determined to be appropriate in the circumstances by the board of directors of the Corporation so that the holder of each Fourth Preferred Share continues to be in a position in respect of dividends and the effect of a retraction or redemption which is economically equivalent to that resulting for a holder of a Laidlaw Share Unit.

The board of directors of the Corporation shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion what is an appropriate adjustment for the purposes of any event referred to in this clause (I) and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding.

If the board of directors of the Corporation does not take action to provide for an adjustment, this shall be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Corporation has determined that it is appropriate to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

Restrictions on Dividends and Redemptions, etc.: No dividend shall at any time be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the Ordinary Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to Fourth Preferred Shares unless all dividends (if any) up to and including the last dividend payable on the Fourth Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment at the date of such declaration or payment or setting apart for payment on the Ordinary Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Fourth Preferred Shares; nor shall the Corporation call for redemption, redeem, purchase for cancellation, acquire for value or reduce or otherwise pay off any of the Ordinary Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Fourth Preferred Shares unless and until all dividends up to and including the last dividend payable on the Fourth Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment at the date of such call for redemption, purchase, acquisition, reduction or other payment.

After payment to the holders of the Fourth Preferred Shares of the amount so payable to them they shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the property or assets of the Corporation.

Retraction at Option of Holder:

A holder of Fourth Preferred Shares shall be entitled at any time prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date to require the Corporation to redeem, not later than the fifth Business Day after the day on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation (the “Retraction Date”), any or all of the Fourth Preferred Shares registered in the name of such holder. The Corporation may fully satisfy its obligation to redeem such Fourth Preferred Shares by either (a) delivering to such holder a Laidlaw Share Unit in respect of each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed or (b) by payment of a cash amount equal to the Cash Retraction Amount in respect of each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed and, in either case, by payment of any unpaid Dividend Amount (collectively, the “Retraction Price”). To effect a redemption hereunder, the holder must present and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation the certificate representing the Fourth Preferred Shares that the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Fourth Preferred Shares under the Canada Business Corporations Act and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require, together with a duly executed statement (the “Retraction Request”) specifying that the holder desires to have all or any of the Fourth Preferred Shares represented by such certificate (the “Retracted Shares”) redeemed by the Corporation.

In the case of a redemption of Fourth Preferred Shares under this clause (j), upon receipt by the Corporation in the manner specified herein of a certificate representing the number of Fourth Preferred Shares which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem, together with a Retraction Request, and provided that the Retraction

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 its proportionate part of the aggregate Retraction Price for such Retracted Shares, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the aggregate Retraction Price payable to such holder shall not be made, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until such aggregate Retraction Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (j), 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, the Corporation shall only be obligated to 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 and more than one holder has delivered a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with clause (j)(ii) on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each such holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to clause (j)(ii) hereof.

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.

Mandatory Redemption by the Corporation:

Subject to applicable law, the Corporation shall on the Mandatory Redemption Date redeem all of the then outstanding Fourth Preferred Shares. The Corporation may fully satisfy its obligation to redeem such Fourth Preferred Shares by either (a) delivering to such holder a Laidlaw Share Unit in respect of each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed or (b) by payment of a cash amount equal to the Cash Redemption Amount in respect of each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed and, in either case, by payment of any unpaid Dividend Amount (collectively, the “Redemption Price”).

In case of a redemption of Fourth Preferred Shares under this clause (k), the Corporation shall, at least five Business Days before the Mandatory Redemption Date, send or cause to be sent to each holder of Fourth Preferred Shares a notice in writing of the redemption by the Corporation of the Fourth Preferred Shares held by such holder. Such notice shall set out the formula for determining the Redemption Price.

On or after the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deliver or cause to be delivered to holders of the Fourth Preferred Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Price for each such Fourth Preferred Share upon presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation of the certificates representing such Fourth Preferred Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be required to effect a transfer of Fourth Preferred Shares under the Canada Business Corporations Act, and such additional documents and instruments as the Corporation may reasonably require. Payment of the aggregate Redemption Price for the Fourth Preferred Shares held by a holder shall be made either (a) if the Corporation has elected to satisfy its obligation to pay the Redemption Price by delivery of a Laidlaw Share Unit for each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed, by delivery to such holder, at the address of such holder recorded in the securities register of the Corporation or by holding for pick up by the holder at the registered office of the Corporation, of certificates representing such Laidlaw Shares (which shares shall be duly issued as fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim) duly endorsed for transfer in the name of the holder or in such other name as the holder may request or (b) if the Corporation has elected to satisfy its obligation to pay the Redemption Price by payment of the Cash Redemption Amount for each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed, a cheque of the Corporation in the amount of the Cash Redemption Amount for each Fourth Preferred Share payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation and (c) in either case, a cheque of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation in payment of the remaining portion, if any, of the aggregate Redemption Price for each Fourth Preferred Share to be redeemed.

On and after the Mandatory Redemption Date, the holders of the Fourth Preferred Shares called for redemption 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, unless payment of the aggregate Redemption Price deliverable to a holder for Fourth Preferred 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 holder shall remain unaffected until the aggregate Redemption Price deliverable to such holder has 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 Fourth Preferred Shares as aforesaid to deposit or cause to be deposited the aggregate Redemption Price of the Fourth Preferred Shares so called for redemption, or of such of the said Fourth Preferred 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 company in Canada named in such notice and any interest allowed on such deposit shall belong to the Corporation. Provided that the total Redemption Price has been so deposited prior to the Mandatory Redemption Date, on and after the Mandatory Redemption Date, the Fourth Preferred Shares shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders thereof after the Mandatory Redemption Date shall be limited to receiving their proportionate part of the total Redemption Price for such Fourth Preferred Shares so deposited, against presentation and surrender of the said certificates held by them, respectively, in accordance with the foregoing provisions.

The dividend, retraction, redemption or other relevant provisions of the Fourth Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment or modification from time to time in the event that: Laidlaw shall divide either class of the Laidlaw Shares into a greater number of shares or shall consolidate the Laidlaw Shares into a lesser number of shares; there is a capital reorganization of Laidlaw or a consolidation or merger or amalgamation of Laidlaw with or into any other company or body corporate, including by way of sale whereby all or substantially all of Laidlaw’s undertaking and assets would become the property of any other company or body corporate; Laidlaw shall issue options, rights or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of either class of the Laidlaw Shares under which such holders are entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into additional shares) at a subscription, purchase, exchange of conversion price per share less than 95% of the market price in effect on the record date for such issue; Laidlaw shall issue or distribute to the holders of the Laidlaw Shares shares of any class

In any of the foregoing events, the adjustment shall be such as is determined to be appropriate in the circumstances by the board of directors of the Corporation so that the holder of each Fourth Preferred Share continues to be in a position in respect of dividends and the effect of a retraction or redemption which is economically equivalent to that resulting for a holder of a Laidlaw Share Unit.

The board of directors of the Corporation shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion what is an appropriate adjustment for the purposes of any event referred to in this clause (l) and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding.

If the board of directors of the Corporation does not take action to provide for an adjustment, this shall be conclusive evidence that the board of directors of the Corporation has determined that it is appropriate to make no adjustment in the circumstances.

Approval of Holders of Fourth Preferred Shares: The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Fourth Preferred Shares may be added to, changed or removed only with the approval of the holders of the Fourth Preferred Shares given as hereinafter specified, in addition to any other approval required by the Canada Business Corporations Act.

Restriction on Transfer: No Fourth Preferred Share shall be transferred without the approval of the board of directors of the Corporation.

SPECIAL SHARES

Payment of Dividends: The holders of the Special Shares shall be entitled to receive non-cumulative cash dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Corporation out of the assets of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends in such amounts and payable in such manner as the board of directors of the Corporation may from time to time determine. Subject to the rights of the holders of any other class of shares of the Corporation entitled to receive dividends in priority to or concurrently with the holders of the Special Shares, the board of directors of the Corporation may in its sole discretion declare dividends on the Special Shares to the exclusion of any other class of shares of the Corporation.

Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up: In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or other distribution of assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of the Special Shares shall be entitled to receive from the assets of the Corporation a sum equivalent to the aggregate Redemption Amount (as hereinafter defined) of all Special Shares held by them respectively before any amount is paid or assets of the Corporation distributed to holders of any shares of any other class of the Corporation.

Redemption by Corporation: The Corporation may redeem at any time the whole or from time to time any part of the then outstanding Special Shares from the holders thereof on payment of an amount for each share, such amount being herein referred to as the “Redemption Price” (being equal to the aggregate fair market value of the consideration paid to the Corporation for the issuance of all Special Shares divided by the number of Special Shares so issued), plus all declared and unpaid dividends thereon, the whole constituting and being referred to as the “Redemption Amount”.

Retraction by Holder: A holder of Special Shares shall be entitled to require the Corporation to redeem, subject to requirements of the Canada Business Corporations Act, at any time all or any of the Special Shares held by such holder by tendering to the Corporation at its registered office a share certificate or certificates representing the Special Shares that the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem together with a written request specifying the number of Special Shares to be redeemed and the business day (herein referred to as the “Redemption Date”) on which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem the Special Shares. Upon receipt of such share certificate or certificates and written request the Corporation shall on the Redemption Date redeem such Special Shares by paying to the holder the Redemption Amount for each Special Share being redeemed.

Cancellation: Any Special Shares that are redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to any provision hereof shall for all purposes be considered to have been redeemed on, and shall be cancelled concurrently with, the payment by the Corporation to or for the benefit of the holder thereof of the Redemption Amount.

No Dilution: In no event shall either (i) any dividend be declared or paid on the shares of any other class of the Corporation or (ii) the Corporation redeem or purchase for cancellation or otherwise any of the shares of any other class of the Corporation if, in the opinion of the board of directors of the Corporation, the payment of such dividend or the making of such redemption or purchase, as the case may be, would reduce the realizable value of the assets minus all the liabilities of the Corporation (determined in accordance with what the board of directors of the Corporation considers to be generally accepted accounting and valuation principles) to an amount that is less than the product of the Redemption Amount of each Special Share multiplied by the number of Special Shares outstanding immediately before the time of payment of such dividend, redemption or purchase, as the case may be.

Voting Rights: The holders of the Special Shares shall not be entitled to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall not be entitled to vote at any such meeting.
