(2) The licence expires on December 31, 2004. The authorized reproduction must therefore be completed by that date.

(3) The licence is non-exclusive and valid only in Canada. For other countries, it is the law of that country that applies.

(4) The applicant will pay the sum of $25 to any person who establishes, before December 31, 2009, ownership of the copyright in the work covered by this licence.
