2.   Securities Act Exemption Applicable.
In connection with certain transactions (collectively, the “Transactions”) to be implemented by way of an arrangement (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to a plan of arrangement (the “Plan”) under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act, all of the Parent Guarantor’s outstanding 12.5% Senior Secured Notes due December 10, 2024 of (the “Existing Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $243.25 million, will be exchanged on the implementation date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”) for (a) the Issuer’s 13.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2026, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $243.25 million (the “New 2026 Exchange Notes”) pursuant to that certain amended and restated indenture, the form of which is filed hereto as Exhibit T3C (the “A&R Indenture”), among the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and Odyssey Trust Company, as trustee, and (b) a total of 29,040,140 Subordinate Voting, Limited Voting and Restricted Voting Shares of the Parent Guarantor, in each case, to holders of the Existing Notes (“Senior Noteholders”).
The New 2026 Exchange Notes will be issued by the Issuer and guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor and the Guarantors, all as further described in the Company’s Management Information Circular (the “Information Circular”), attached hereto as Exhibit T3E-3. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Information Circular. Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts contained herein are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Registration of the New 2026 Exchange Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is not required by reason of Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (“Section 3(a)(10)”). Section 3(a)(10) exempts from the general requirement of registration under the Securities Act securities issued in exchange for one or more bona fide outstanding securities, claims or property interests, or partly in such
2

 
exchange and partly for cash, where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange are approved by a court or other governmental authority that is expressly authorized by law to grant such approval, after a hearing upon the fairness of such terms and conditions of such issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued in such exchange have the right to appear.
The three main elements of the Section 3(a)(10) exemption are (a) an exchange of outstanding securities, claims or property interests, (b) a fairness hearing and (c) court approval of the issuances of securities in exchange for securities, claims or property interests. As described below and in the Information Circular, each of these elements will be satisfied in connection with the issuance of the New 2026 Exchange Notes.
(a) Exchange
Pursuant to the Arrangement, the New 2026 Exchange Notes will be issued in exchange for the Existing Notes as more fully described in the Information Circular, filed hereto as Exhibit T3E-3.
(b) Fairness Hearing
On November 15, 2023, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Court”) granted an Interim Order (the “Interim Order”), which, among other things, authorized: (a) the Parent Guarantor to send the Information Circular to, among others, the holders of the Existing Notes and (b) the calling and holding of the Special Meeting of Senior Noteholders in order for the Senior Noteholders to consider and vote upon the Arrangement to implement the Transactions. The Interim Order is attached hereto as Exhibit T3D-2. The Special Meeting of Senior Noteholders is scheduled to take place on December 15, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time). A hearing to seek the Court’s approval of the Arrangement, including that the terms and conditions of the Arrangement are fair to those to whom securities will be issued, is scheduled to be held by the Court, which is expressly authorized by law to hold the hearing on December 19, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time), or such other time and/or date as may be approved by the Court. The hearing will be open to all persons holding the Existing Notes. Such persons have the right to appear at the hearing and to present evidence or testimony with respect to the fairness of the Arrangement. Measures will be taken pursuant to the Interim Order to provide relevant information and adequate and timely notice of the right to appear to the holders of the Existing Notes, including circulation of the Information Circular, and there will be no improper impediments to appearance by those persons at the hearing.
(c) Court Approval
The Issuer anticipates that on December 19, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time), or such other time and/or date as may be approved by the Court, it will seek Court approval of the Arrangement and the issuance of a final order (the “Final Order”) by the Court, among other things, approving the Arrangement as fair and reasonable. The Court has been advised in connection with seeking the Interim Order and will be advised in connection with seeking the Final Order that its ruling will be the basis for claiming an exemption from registration under the Securities Act by reason of the exemption afforded by Section 3(a)(10) thereof.

(a)
default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes;

10

 
(d)
failure by the Issuer for 30 days to comply with the provisions of Section 6.14 of the A&R Indenture or Section 6.15 of the A&R Indenture to the extent not described in Section 7.1(b) of the A&R Indenture;

failure by AYR Wellness or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days (or 90 days in the case of a Reporting Failure) after written notice by the Trustee or Holders representing 51% or more of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding to comply with any of the other agreements in the A&R Indenture;
(f)
default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by AYR Wellness or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is Guaranteed by AYR Wellness or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:
(A) (i) is caused by a failure to make any payment on such Indebtedness when due and after giving to the expiration of the grace period, if any, provided in such Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”); or (ii) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default, aggregates $5.0 million or more, or
(B) is caused by a breach or default of any other covenant other than a Payment Default (“Non-Payment Default”), after giving effect to the expiration of the grace period, if any, provided that the principal amount of any such Indebtedness individually, or when taken together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Non-Payment Default, aggregates to $10.0 million or more;
provided that, in each case (a) if any such Payment Default or Non-Payment Default is cured or waived or any such acceleration is rescinded, as the case may be, such Event of Default under the A&R Indenture and any consequential acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgement or decree and (b) any Non-Payment Default arising from any valid assertion made by a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Issuer that the granting of Liens to the Trustee in collateral securing the those certain Vendor Takeback Notes specified on Schedule B-2 of the A&R Indenture (“Specified Seller Notes”) breaches a prohibition (if any) on granting such Liens contained in the definitive documentation governing such Specified Seller Notes shall not constitute an Event of Default;
(g)
failure by AYR Wellness or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final non-appealable judgments (to the extent such judgments are not paid or covered by in-force insurance provided by a reputable carrier that has the ability to perform and has acknowledged coverage in writing) aggregating in excess of $25.0 million, which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
(h)
except as permitted by the A&R Indenture, any Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any such Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee;
(i)
AYR Wellness or any Restricted Subsidiary, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(i)
commences a voluntary case or proceeding;
(ii)
applies for or consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;
(iii)
applies for or consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its assets; or
(iv)
makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
(j)
a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
11

 
(i)
is for relief against AYR Wellness or any Restricted Subsidiary debtor in an involuntary case or proceeding;
(ii)
appoints a custodian of AYR Wellness or any Restricted Subsidiary or a custodian for all or substantially all of the assets of AYR Wellness or any Restricted Subsidiary; or
(iii)
orders the liquidation of AYR Wellness or any Restricted Subsidiary;
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days and, in the case of the insolvency of a Restricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary remains a Restricted Subsidiary on such 60th day;
(k)
the Security Documents shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby and the Issuer or the applicable Guarantor does not take all steps required to provide the Collateral Trustee with a valid and perfected Lien against such Collateral within five (5) days of request therefor by the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee; and
(l)
either
(i)
a default (after the expiry of any grace period or cure period provided by applicable law or regulations) under the terms of one or more Material Permits that, individually or in the aggregate, has a Material Adverse Effect, or
(ii)
any agreement by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary to surrender or terminate one or more Material Permits prior to the expiry date set out in such applicable Material Permit(s) that, individually or in the aggregate, has a Material Adverse Effect,
unless such Material Permit(s) are replaced within 60 days by substantially similar Material Permit(s) on terms and conditions no more onerous or restrictive than the Material Permit(s) forfeited or terminated under subsections (i) or (ii) or such Material Permit(s) are to be renewed or replaced by the applicable regulatory authority in accordance with applicable law.
For greater certainty, for the purposes of Section 7.1 of the A&R Indenture, an Event of Default shall occur with respect to a series of Notes if such Event of Default relates to a Default in the payment of principal, premium (if any), or interest on such series of Notes, in which case references to “Notes” in Section 7.1 of the A&R Indenture shall refer to Notes of that particular series.
For the purposes of Article 7 of the A&R Indenture, where the Event of Default refers to an Event of Default with respect to a particular series of Notes as described in Section 7.1 of the A&R Indenture, then Article 7 of the A&R Indenture shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Notes of such series and references in Article 7 of the A&R Indenture to the “Notes” shall be deemed to be references to Notes of such particular series, as applicable.
Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission, Annulment and Waiver
(a)
If an Event of Default (other than as specified in Section 7.1(i) of the A&R Indenture or 7.1(j) of the A&R Indenture) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 51% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare by notice in writing to the Issuer and (if given by the Holders) to the Trustee, the principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of acceleration on, all of the outstanding Notes immediately due and payable and, upon any such declaration, all such amounts will become due and payable immediately.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(i) of the A&R Indenture or 7.1(j) of the A&R Indenture occurs and is continuing, then the principal of (and premium, if any) and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the outstanding Notes will thereupon become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. However, the effect of such provision may be limited by applicable laws.
(b)
The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 10 days after the occurrence thereof, notice of any
12

 
Payment Default or acceleration referred to in Section 7.1(f)(ii) of the A&R Indenture. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, if an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(b) of the A&R Indenture occurs in relation to a failure by the Issuer to comply with the provisions of Section 6.14 of the A&R Indenture, “premium” shall include, without duplication to any other amounts included in “premium” for these purposes, the excess of:
(i)
the Change of Control Payment that was required to be offered in accordance with Section 6.14 of the A&R Indenture, in the event such offer was not made, or, in the event such offer was made, the Change of Control Payment that was required to be paid in accordance with Section 6.14 of the A&R Indenture; over
(ii)
the principal amount of the Notes that were required to be subject to such offer or payment, as applicable.
(c)
At any time after a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee:
(i)
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Issuer, the Holders and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(A) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived; and
(B) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction,
provided that if the Event of Default has occurred by reason of the nonobservance or non-performance by the Issuer of any covenant applicable only to one or more series of Notes, then the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes of that series shall be entitled to exercise the foregoing power of rescission and the Trustee shall so act and it shall not be necessary to obtain a waiver from the Holders of any other series of Notes; and (ii) the Trustee, so long as it has not become bound to declare the principal and interest on the Notes (or any of them) to be due and payable, or to obtain or enforce payment of the same, shall have the power to waive any Event of Default if, in the Trustee’s opinion, the same shall have been cured or adequate satisfaction made therefor, and in such event to rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences,
provided that no such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
(d)
Notwithstanding Section 7.2(a) of the A&R Indenture, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(f) of the A&R Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically annulled if the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been discharged or the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness, and written notice of such discharge or rescission, as the case may be, shall have been given to the Trustee by the Issuer and countersigned by the holders of such Indebtedness or a trustee, fiduciary or agent for such holders, within 30 days after such declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes, and no other Event of Default has occurred during such 30 day period which has not been cured or waived during such period.
(e)
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the A&R Indenture, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on, or principal (or premium, if any) of, Notes; provided that if the Default or Event of Default has occurred by reason of the non-observance or non-performance by the Issuer of any covenant applicable only to one or more series of Notes, then the Holders of a majority of the
13

 
principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series shall be entitled to waive such Default or Event of Default and it shall not be necessary to obtain a waiver from the Holders of any other series of Notes.
Notice of Event of Default
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Trustee shall, within 30 days after it receives written notice of the occurrence of such Event of Default, give notice of such Event of Default to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 14.2 of the A&R Indenture, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Trustee shall have been requested to do so by the Holders of at least 51% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, the Trustee shall not be required to give such notice if and the Trustee in good faith shall have determined that the withholding of such notice is in the best interests of the Holders and shall have so advised the Issuer in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notice relating to a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest shall not in any circumstances be withheld.
Statement by Officers
(a)
The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each of its fiscal years, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of compliance by the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries with all conditions and covenants in the A&R Indenture. For purposes of Section 7.20(a) of the A&R Indenture, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under the A&R Indenture.
(b)
Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Issuer shall promptly deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officers’ Certificate, specifying such event, notice or other action giving rise to such Default or Event of Default and the action that the Issuer or Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.
Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes
(a)
All Notes shall be signed (either manually or by electronic or facsimile signature) by any two authorized directors or officers of the Issuer, holding office at the time of signing. An electronic or facsimile signature upon a Note shall for all purposes of the A&R Indenture be deemed to be the signature of the individual whose signature it purports to be. Notwithstanding that any individual whose signature, either manual or in facsimile or other electronic means, appears on a Note as a director or officer may no longer hold such office at the date of the Note or at the date of the authentication and delivery thereof, such Note shall be valid and binding upon the Issuer and the Holder thereof shall be entitled to the benefits of the A&R Indenture.
(b)
No Notes will be entitled to any right or benefit under the A&R Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless such Notes have been authenticated by manual signature by or on behalf of the Trustee substantially in the form provided for herein or in the relevant Supplemental Indenture. Such authentication upon any Notes will be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Notes have been duly authenticated, issued and delivered and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits hereof.
(c)
Subject to the terms of the A&R Indenture, the Trustee shall from time to time authenticate one or more Notes (including Global Notes) for original issue on the issue date for any series of Notes upon and in accordance with an Issuer Order (an “Authentication Order”), without the Trustee receiving any consideration therefor. Each such Authentication Order shall specify the principal amount of such Notes to be authenticated and the date on which such Notes are to be authenticated. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount specified in the Authentication Orders except as provided in Section 2.10 of the A&R Indenture. Except as provided in Section 6.10 of the A&R Indenture, there is no limit on the amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.
(d)
The certificate by or on behalf of the Trustee authenticating Notes will not be construed as a
14

 
representation or warranty of the Trustee as to the validity of the A&R Indenture or of any Notes or their issuance (except the due authentication thereof by the Trustee) or as to the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under of the A&R Indenture or any Notes and the Trustee will be in no respect liable or answerable for the use made of the proceeds of such Notes. The certificate by or on behalf of the Trustee on Notes issued under the A&R Indenture will constitute a representation and warranty by the Trustee that such Notes have been duly authenticated by and on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of the A&R Indenture.
Release of Guarantees
(a)
The Guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically released:
(i)
in connection with any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise), in one or more related transactions, to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of AYR Wellness, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 6.15 of the A&R Indenture;
(ii)
in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary of AYR Wellness after which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Issuer, if the sale of such Capital Stock of that Guarantor complies with Section 6.15 of the A&R Indenture;
(iii)
[reserved];
(iv)
upon payment in full in cash of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium (if any) on, the Notes; or
(v)
upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the A&R Indenture as provided above under Article 8 of the A&R Indenture.
(b)
The Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver a release together with all instruments and other documents reasonably requested by the Issuer or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to evidence the release and termination of any Guarantee upon receipt of a request by the Issuer accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate certifying as to compliance with Section 13.2 of the A&R Indenture.
Release of Security
(a)
The Liens on the Collateral will be released in whole with respect to the Notes and the Security Documents, as applicable, upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(i)
payment in full in cash of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest and premium (if any) on, the Notes;
(ii)
satisfaction and discharge of the A&R Indenture; or
(iii)
legal defeasance or covenant defeasance as set forth under Sections 8.3 of the A&R Indenture or 8.4 of the A&R Indenture,
provided that in each case, all amounts owing to the Trustee under the A&R Indenture and the Notes and to the Collateral Trustee under the Security Documents have been paid or otherwise provided for to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and the Collateral Trustee, as applicable.
(b)
The Liens on the Collateral will automatically be released with respect to any asset constituting Collateral upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(i)
in connection with any disposition of such Collateral to any Person other than the Issuer (but excluding any transaction subject to the covenant described under Section 10.1 of the A&R Indenture if such other Person is required to become the obligor on the Notes) that is permitted by the A&R Indenture; or
15

 
(ii)
upon the sale or disposition of such Collateral pursuant to the exercise of any rights and remedies by the Collateral Trustee with respect to any Collateral, subject to the Security Documents.
To the extent required by the A&R Indenture (other than in relation to (ii) above), the Issuer will furnish to the Trustee, prior to each proposed release of Collateral under the A&R Indenture, an Officer’s Certificate and/or an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions to the release of the Liens on the Collateral have been satisfied.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The A&R Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued thereunder (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes expressly provided for therein), when
(a)
either:
(i)
all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(ii)
all Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, including by redemption, by reason of the mailing of a Redemption Notice or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;
(b)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);
(c)
such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the A&R Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;
(d)
the Issuer or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by the Issuer under the A&R Indenture; and
(e)
the Issuer has delivered irrevocable written instructions to the Trustee under the A&R Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the A&R Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(ii) of the A&R Indenture, the provisions of Sections 8.7 and 8.8 A&R Indenture will survive.
Evidence and Authority to Trustee, Opinions, etc.
(a)
The Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee evidence of compliance with the conditions precedent provided for in the A&R Indenture relating to any action or step required or permitted to be taken by the Issuer or the Trustee under the A&R Indenture or as a result of any obligation imposed under the A&R Indenture, including without limitation, the authentication and delivery of Notes thereunder, the satisfaction and discharge of the A&R and the taking of any other action to be taken by the Trustee at the request of or on the application of the Issuer, forthwith if and when (a) such evidence is required by any other Section of the A&R Indenture to be furnished to the Trustee in accordance
16

 
with the terms of Section 11.6 of the A&R Indenture, or (b) the Trustee, in the exercise of its rights and duties under the A&R Indenture, gives the Issuer written notice requiring it to furnish such evidence in relation to any particular action or obligation specified in such notice. Such evidence shall consist of:
(i)
an Officers’ Certificate, stating that any such condition precedent has been complied with in accordance with the terms of the A&R Indenture;
(ii)
in the case of a condition precedent the satisfaction of which is, by the terms of the A&R Indenture, made subject to review or examination by a solicitor, an Opinion of Counsel that such condition precedent has been complied with in accordance with the terms of the A&R Indenture; and
(iii)
in the case of any such condition precedent the satisfaction of which is subject to review or examination by auditors or accountants, an opinion or report of the Issuer’s Auditors whom the Trustee for such purposes hereby approves, that such condition precedent has been complied with in accordance with the terms of the A&R Indenture.
(b)
Whenever such evidence relates to a matter other than the authentication and delivery of Notes and the satisfaction and discharge of the A&R Indenture, and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such evidence may consist of a report or opinion of any solicitor, auditor, accountant, engineer or appraiser or any other appraiser or any other individual whose qualifications give authority to a statement made by such individual, provided that if such report or opinion is furnished by a director, officer or employee of the Issuer it shall be in the form of a statutory declaration. Such evidence shall be, so far as appropriate, in accordance with Section 11.6(a) of the A&R Indenture.
(c)
Each statutory declaration, certificate, opinion or report with respect to compliance with a condition precedent provided for in the A&R Indenture shall include (i) a statement by the individual giving the evidence that he or she has read and is familiar with those provisions of the A&R Indenture relating to the condition precedent in question, (ii) a brief statement of the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such evidence are based, (iii) a statement that, in the belief of the individual giving such evidence, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to make the statements or give the opinions contained or expressed therein, and (iv) a statement whether in the opinion of such individual the conditions precedent in question have been complied with or satisfied.
(d)
In addition to its obligations under Section 7.20 of the A&R Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee at any time if the Trustee reasonably so requires, an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Issuer has complied with all covenants, conditions or other requirements contained in the A&R Indenture, the non-compliance with which would constitute a Default or an Event of Default, or if such is not the case, specifying the covenant, condition or other requirement which has not been complied with and giving particulars of such non-compliance. The Issuer shall, whenever the Trustee so requires, furnish the Trustee with evidence by way of statutory declaration, opinion, report or certificate as specified by the Trustee as to any action or step required or permitted to be taken by the Issuer or as a result of any obligation imposed by the A&R Indenture.
9.   Other Obligors.
No person, other than the Applicants, will be an obligor of the New Notes.

Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of a Class B Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Class B Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class B Shares contemplated by Section 3.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Class B Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class B Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1(c) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Class B Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby.

The record date for the determination of the holders of Class B Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1 shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable. 3.4 Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class B Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly applicable to the payment of such dividend or distribution. 3.5 Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2, and shall provide the Class B Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested.

If the Dispute Notice is so given, the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Board of Directors, on the other hand, shall jointly select an appraiser which shall be an independent, nationally recognized firm of chartered professional accountants (the “Appraiser”) who shall determine the economic equivalence; provided, however, that if the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors cannot agree upon a single appraiser, KPMG shall be the Appraiser for purposes of this Section 3.5. The Appraiser shall conduct such independent procedures and investigations as the Appraiser shall deem necessary in order to form an opinion as to the economic equivalence and shall give written notice within thirty (30) days of its appointment as Appraiser of its determination to the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the Class B Shareholders and the Corporation, absent manifest error. The fees of the Appraiser shall be borne by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand, in such amount(s) as will be determined by the Appraiser based on the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted to the Appraiser that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, or the Corporation, on the other hand, as determined by the appraiser, bears to the total amount of such disputed items so referred to the Appraiser for resolution. ARTICLE 4 CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS 4.1 Certain Restrictions.

Payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Class B Shares shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 5. On and after the Liquidation Date, the holders of the Class B Shares shall cease to be holders of such Class B Shares and 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 Liquidation Amount, unless payment of the total Liquidation Amount for such Class B 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 holders all remain unaffected until the total Liquidation Amount has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. Upon delivery of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, the holders of the Class B Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be holders of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares delivered to them or the custodian on their behalf. 6.3 Rights after Liquidation.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, 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.

References to Sections made in this Part II are to Sections in this Part II, unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise specified or required by context, the terms “these share provisions”, “hereof’, “herein” and “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to these Class A Share provisions and the Class B share provisions and not to any particular Article, Section other portion hereof and include any agreement or instrument supplementary or ancillary hereto. ARTICLE 2 DIVIDENDS 2.1 A holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class B Share. Without limiting the foregoing, a holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share: (a) in the case of an Extraordinary Dividend of cash declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Class A Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Parent Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication; (b) in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date (for the avoidance of doubt, whether or not in connection with an Extraordinary Transaction) to be paid in Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), by the payment by the Corporation of cash in an amount that is economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors) to the number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent) to be paid on each Parent Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication; or DocuSign Envelope ID: F5A07CB5-F074-40AA-9805-DD40E7C45B78

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class A Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1 (i) shall be applied to ensure that holders of Class A Shares are treated in a manner economically equivalent to treatment of holders of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares with respect to those categories of dividends and other distributions described in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, and (ii) in no such event shall be applied to confer a benefit on any other Person. 2.2 Payment of Dividends.

Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Class A Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class A Shares contemplated by Section 2.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Class A Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class A Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Class A Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid. 2.3 Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Class A Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 shall be the same dates as the record and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares, as applicable.

27 ME1 35352122v.4 088209.00021 Business 20815996v1 PART III GENERAL Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles of Incorporation or the Exchange Rights Agreement to the contrary, no shareholder shall receive duplicate rights and privileges upon the occurrence of the same event. For example, if an Extraordinary Dividend of cash is declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares after the Closing Date, then the holders of Class B Shares shall receive a comparable cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I. They shall not receive a second cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I because a cash dividend was also triggered on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 of Part II arising from the same cash dividend declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares. This prohibition on duplication applies to both the Class B Shares and Class A Shares and with respect to all dividends, distributions, rights offerings, stock splits, consolidations, recapitalization, reorganizations and any other right or privilege applicable to them.

A holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class B Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class A Share. Without limiting the foregoing, a holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Class B Share e (each, a “Corresponding Dividend”):

 

(a)in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Class B Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or (only if payable to a holder of Class B Shares who is a Canadian resident) the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Parent Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

 

(b)in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date to be paid in Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), by the issue or transfer by the Corporation of such number of Class B Shares for each Class B Share as is economically equal to the number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent) to be paid on each Parent Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication unless in lieu of such stock dividend or distribution the Corporation elects to effect a corresponding and contemporaneous and economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3.5) subdivision of the outstanding Class B Shares; or

 

(c)in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid in property other than (i) cash, (ii) Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, (iii) other equity securities of Parent or (iv) securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent, in such type and amount of property for each Class B Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3.5) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class B Shares pursuant to this Section 3.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these share provisions, no dividend shall be paid by the Corporation on the Class B Shares unless an equal per share dividend is paid by Parent on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares and vice versa, and if a dividend is paid by the Corporation on the Class A Shares an equal per share dividend, must also be paid by the Corporation on the Class B Shares and by the Parent on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares with no entitlement of the Class B Shares to a Corresponding Dividend in respect of the latter.

 

3.2          Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of a Class B Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Class B Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class B Shares contemplated by Section 3.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Class B Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class B Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1(c) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Class B Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

 

3.3          Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Class B Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1 shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable.

 

3.4          Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1 due to solvency requirement of the provisions of applicable law, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class B Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly to make payment of such dividend or distribution in satisfaction of such solvency requirements and in compliance with such applicable law.

 

10

 

 

3.5          Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2, and shall provide the holders of Class B Shares with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these share provisions, within (10) Business Days following the delivery of the written determination of economic equivalence to the holders of Class B Shares, the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Class B Shares (the “Majority Holders”) may dispute such determination by written notice to the Board of Directors (the “Dispute Notice”). If the Dispute Notice is so given, the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Board of Directors, on the other hand, shall jointly select an appraiser which shall be an independent, nationally recognized firm of chartered professional accountants (the “Appraiser”) who shall determine the economic equivalence; provided, however, that if the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors cannot agree upon a single appraiser, KPMG shall be the Appraiser for purposes of this Section 3.5. The Appraiser shall conduct such independent procedures and investigations as the Appraiser shall deem necessary in order to form an opinion as to the economic equivalence and shall give written notice within thirty (30) days of its appointment as Appraiser of its determination to the holders of Class B Shares and the Board of Directors. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the Class B Shareholders and the Corporation, absent manifest error. The fees of the Appraiser shall be borne by the holders of Class B Shares, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand, in such amount(s) as will be determined by the Appraiser based on the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted to the Appraiser that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, or the Corporation, on the other hand, as determined by the Appraiser, bears to the total amount of such disputed items so referred to the Appraiser for resolution.

7.5 Limitation on Retraction Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, 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 Board of Directors determines that on any Retraction Date the Corporation 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 the next 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 duly delivered a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 7.2 on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.2.

References to Sections made in this Part II are to Sections in this Part II, unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise specified or required by context, the terms “these share provisions”, “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to these Class A Share provisions and the Class B Share provisions and not to any particular Article, Section or other portion hereof and include any agreement or instrument supplementary or ancillary hereto.

 

ARTICLE 2

DIVIDENDS

 

2.1          A holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class B Share. Without limiting the foregoing, a holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share:

 

(a)in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Class A Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Parent Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

 

(b)in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date to be paid in Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), by the payment by the Corporation of cash in an amount that is economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors) to the number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent) to be paid on each Parent Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication; or

 

21

 

 

(c)in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid in property other than (i) cash, (ii) Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, (iii) other equity securities of Parent or (iv) securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent, in such type and amount of property for each Class A Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.5) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class A Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law.

 

2.2          Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of a Class A Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Class A Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class A Shares contemplated by Section 2.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Class A Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class A Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Class A Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

 

2.3          Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Class A Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 shall be the same dates as the record and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares, as applicable.

 

 

2.4          Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class A Shares then outstanding due to solvency requirements or the provisions of applicable law, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property to make payment of such dividend or distribution n in satisfaction of such solvency requirements and in compliance with such applicable law.

 

22

 

 

2.5          Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2, and shall provide the Class A Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2.

 

ARTICLE 3

VOTING RIGHTS

 

3.1          The holders of the Class A Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Class A Share held at such meetings, except a meeting of holders of a particular class or series of shares other than the Class A Shares who are entitled to vote separately as a class or series at such meeting.

 

ARTICLE 4

LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING-UP

 

4.1          In the event of Liquidation Event, the holders of the Class A Shares shall, subject to the rights of the holders of the Class B Shares under Section 6.1 of Part I of these share provisions in respect of any such distribution on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or other distribution of its property or assets among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary (any such event, “Liquidation Event”), be entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation, except that the holders of Class A Shares shall first be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with respect to that portion of the Liquidation Amount payable to the holders of Class B Shares under subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of Class B Share Consideration, the following amounts:

 

(a)the sum of (i) unless corresponding equivalent dividends or distributions have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(a) of this Part II prior to or at the effective time of any such Liquidation Event, the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends or other cash distributions declared and paid by Parent on a Parent Subordinate Voting Share prior to or at the effective time of such Liquidation Event, over (B) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends or other cash distributions declared and paid by the Corporation on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(a) of this Part II prior to or at the effective time of such Liquidation Event; plus (ii) the amount of any cash dividends or other cash distributions on the Class A Share which have been declared but not yet paid as of the effective time of such Liquidation Event (determined without duplication of amounts taken into account under clause (i), above), such sum payable in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent by means of a check payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor; plus

 

23

 

 

(b)the sum of (i) unless corresponding equivalent dividends or distributions have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(c) of this Part II prior to or at the effective time of any such Liquidation Event, the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all declared and paid non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions by Parent on a Parent Subordinate Voting Share prior to or at the effective time of such Liquidation Event, over (B) the aggregate fair market value of all non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions declared and paid by the Corporation on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(c) of this Part II prior to or at the effective time of such Liquidation Event, plus (ii) the aggregate fair market value of any non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions on the Class A Share which have been declared but not yet paid as of the effective time of such Liquidation Event (determined without duplication of amounts taken into account under clause (i), above), such sum payable by means of a check payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or, at the option of the Board of Directors, payable by the delivery of non-cash items having a fair market value equal to the amount of such sum.

 

The rights of holders of Class A Shares under this Section 4.1 to receive unpaid dividends and distributions shall rank pari passu with the rights of the holders of Class B Shares to receive unpaid dividends and distributions (as provided for in subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of Class B Share Consideration) under Section 6.1 of Part I of these share provisions.

 

ARTICLE 5

RECIPROCAL CHANGES, ETC. IN RESPECT OF

PARENT SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES

 

5.1          Except for the issuance of employee incentive stock-based compensation in accordance with the terms of any employee stock option plan of the Corporation or Parent then in effect, in the event that Parent, without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Class A Shares,

 

(a)issues or distributes Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) to the holders of the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication, by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than:

 

(i)             an issue of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to a distribution to which Section 2.1(b) applies, or

 

24

 

 

(ii)             an issue of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) to holders of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares who exercise an option to receive dividends of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends, provided that the holders of Class A Shares shall receive the same option to either receive cash dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or receive dividends or distributions of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) or have their Class A Shares adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(b);

 

(b)issues or distributes rights, options or warrants to the holders of the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares entitling them to subscribe for or to purchase Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, all as applicable and without duplication); or

 

(c)issues or distributes to the holders of the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (other than an issuance or distribution pursuant to which Section 2.1(c) applies):

 

(i)             shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Subordinate Voting Shares;

 

(ii)            rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 5.1(b); or

 

(iii)           evidences of indebtedness of Parent,

 

the Corporation will provide at least five Business Days prior notice to the holders of Class A Shares and will ensure that the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares), rights, options, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets is issued or distributed simultaneously to holders of the Class A Shares, all as applicable and without duplication. For the avoidance of doubt, no stock, securities or other assets shall be issued or distributed to the holders of Class A Shares under this Section 5.1 unless an equivalent amount on a per share basis is issued or distributed to the holders of Class B Shares under Section 12.1 of Part I.

 

5.2          In the event that Parent, without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Class A Shares,

Notwithstanding any other provision in these share provisions, this Article 5 shall not be changed without the approval of the holders of the Class B Shares given in accordance with Section 11.2 of Part I.

 

26

 

 

PART III

 

GENERAL

 

Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles of Incorporation or the Exchange Rights Agreement to the contrary, no shareholder shall receive duplicate rights and privileges upon the occurrence of the same event. For example, if a cash dividend is declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, then the holders of Class B Shares shall receive a comparable cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I. They shall not receive a second cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I because a cash dividend was also triggered on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 of Part II arising from the same cash dividend declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares. This prohibition on duplication applies to both the Class B Shares and Class A Shares and with respect to all dividends, distributions, rights offerings, stock splits, consolidations, recapitalization, reorganizations and any other right or privilege applicable to them.

DIVIDENDS

3.1            Dividends. A holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Exchangeable Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Common Share. A holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each CSAC Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Exchangeable Share:

(a)in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Exchangeable Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the CSAC Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

(b)in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid in CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, by the issue or transfer by the Corporation of such number of Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share as is economically equal to the number of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid on each CSAC Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication unless in lieu of such stock dividend the Corporation elects to effect a corresponding and contemporaneous and economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3.5) subdivision of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares; or

(c)in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid in property other than cash or CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, in such type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3.5) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

- 7 -

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Exchangeable Shares pursuant to this Section 3.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 3.1(b) shall be applied to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares are treated in a manner economically equivalent to the treatment of holders of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares and shall not be applied to confer a benefit on any other Person.

3.2            Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Subsection 3.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of an Exchangeable Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Exchangeable Shares contemplated by Subsection 3.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of an Exchangeable Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Exchangeable Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Subsection 3.1(c) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of an Exchangeable Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

3.3            Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1 shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable.

3.4            Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly applicable to the payment of such dividend or distribution.

- 8 -

 

3.5            Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2, and shall provide the Exchangeable Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these share terms, within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of the written determination of economic equivalence to the Exchangeable Shareholders, the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding Exchangeable Shares (the “Majority Holders”) may dispute such determination by written notice to the Board of Directors (the “Dispute Notice”). If the Dispute Notice is so given, the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Board of Directors, on the other hand, shall jointly select an appraiser which shall be an independent, nationally recognized firm of chartered professional accountants (the “Appraiser”) who shall determine the economic equivalence; provided, however, that if the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors cannot agree upon a single appraiser, KPMG shall be the Appraiser for purposes of this Section 3.5. The Appraiser shall conduct such independent procedures and investigations as the Appraiser shall deem necessary in order to form an opinion as to the economic equivalence and shall give written notice within thirty (30) days of its appointment as Appraiser of its determination to the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the Exchangeable Shareholders and the Corporation, absent manifest error. The fees of the Appraiser shall be borne by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand, in such amount(s) as will be determined by the Appraiser based on the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted to the Appraiser that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, or the Corporation, on the other hand, as determined by the Appraiser, bears to the total amount of such disputed items so referred to the Appraiser for resolution.

(c)acknowledging the overriding right (the “Retraction Call Right”) of CSAC, pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement, to purchase all but not less than all of the Retracted Shares directly from the holder and that the Retraction Request shall be deemed to be a revocable offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to CSAC in accordance with the Retraction Call Right on the terms and conditions set out in Article 5 of the Exchange Rights Agreement; and

- 11 -

 

(d)in the case of a holder who is a Resident, representing and warranting that the holder is a Resident.

7.5            Limitation on Retraction Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, 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 the next 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 duly delivered a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 7.2 on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.2.

ARTICLE 13

LEGEND, WITHHOLDING RIGHTS; SPECIFIED AMOUNT

13.1         Legend. The certificates evidencing the Exchangeable Shares shall contain or have affixed thereto a legend in form and on terms approved by the Board of Directors with respect to the provisions of the Support Agreement and the Exchange Rights Agreement.

13.2         Acknowledgement. Each holder of an Exchangeable Share, whether of record or beneficial, by virtue of becoming and being such a holder shall be deemed to acknowledge each of the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right and the Redemption Call Right, in each case, in favor of CSAC, and the overriding nature thereof in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or the retraction or redemption of Exchangeable Shares, as the case may be, and to be bound thereby in favor of CSAC as therein provided.

13.3         Withholding Rights. Each of the Corporation, CSAC and their Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend or other amount otherwise payable to any holder of Exchangeable Shares such amounts as the Corporation, CSAC or such Affiliate is required or permitted (to the extent that absent such permitted withholding, the payor would be liable for, or for amounts on account of, taxes, interest and/or penalties in connection with the payment) to deduct or withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (including without limitation section 116 and Part XIII thereof), the Code or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the Exchangeable Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted when done to the appropriate taxing authority and reasonable documentation respecting such payment is provided to the holder of the Exchangeable Shares. To the extent that the amount so required or permitted to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, subject to right of the holder of Exchangeable Shares as provided for below to provide such additional cash as is necessary to satisfy the tax obligations set out above, the Corporation, CSAC and their Affiliates are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the non-cash consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Corporation, CSAC or such of their Affiliates, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement and the Corporation, CSAC or such of their Affiliates shall notify the holder thereof and remit to the holder any portion of the net proceeds of such sale not required or permitted to be deducted or withheld. All payments to be made hereunder shall be made without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and if commercially reasonable, prior to selling any non-cash consideration to satisfy tax obligations as provided for above, the Corporation, CSAC or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall notify the Exchangeable Shareholder that it shall be making the deductions or withholdings noted above and the Exchangeable Shareholder shall have the option to provide cash to the Corporation, CSAC or its Affiliates, as applicable, in an amount equal to the amounts to be withheld or deducted within three Business Days of delivery of the notice, in which case the Corporation, CSAC or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall not sell any non-cash consideration until such three (3) Business Day period had passed.

PART II

COMMON SHARE TERMS

The Common Shares, as a class, shall have attached thereto the following rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions:

ARTICLE 1

INTERPRETATION

1.1            The defined terms and other provisions in Article 1 of Part I of these share terms shall also apply to this Part II. References to Sections made in this Part II are to Sections in this Part II, unless otherwise indicated.

ARTICLE 2
DIVIDENDS

2.1            A holder of a Common Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of a Common Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Common Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Exchangeable Share. A holder of a Common Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall declare a dividend or other distribution on each Common Share:

(a)in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Common Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the CSAC Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the cash dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

(b)in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid in CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, by the payment by the Corporation of cash in an amount that is economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors) to the number of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid on each CSAC Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication;

(c)In the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid in property other than cash or CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, in such type and amount of property for each Common Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

- 19 -

 

 Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Common Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.1(b) shall be applied to ensure that holders of Common Shares are treated in a manner economically equivalent to the treatment of holders of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares and shall not be applied to confer a benefit on any other Person.

2.2            Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Subsection 2.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of a Common Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Common Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Exchangeable Shares contemplated by Subsection 2.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Common Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Exchangeable Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Subsection 2.1(a) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Common Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of a Common Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

2.3            Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Common Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Common Shares under Section 2.1 shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Exchangeable Shares, as applicable.

2.4            Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Common Shares under Section 2.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Common Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly applicable to the payment of such dividend or distribution.

2.5            Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2, and shall provide the Common Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 5.1 and 5.2.

ARTICLE 3

VOTING RIGHTS

3.1            The holders of the Common Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Common Share held at such meetings, except a meeting of holders of a particular class or series of shares other than the Common Shares who are entitled to vote separately as a class or series at such meeting.

ARTICLE 4

LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING-UP

  In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or any other distribution of the property or assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Common Shares shall, subject to the rights of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares under Section 6.1 of Part I of these share terms in respect of any such distribution on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of its property or assets among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, be entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation, except that the holders of Common Shares shall first be entitled to receive:

(a)unless corresponding equivalent dividends have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Common Shares, the aggregate amount of all cash dividends or other cash distributions declared and paid by CSAC on a CSAC Subordinate Voting Share from the time that the Common Shares were first issued to the effective time of any such action, payable in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent by means of a cheque payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor; plus

(b)unless corresponding equivalent dividends have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Common Shares, the aggregate amount of all declared and paid non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions by CSAC on a CSAC Subordinate Voting Share from the time that the Common Shares were first issued to the effective time of any such action, payable by means of a cheque payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor in an amount equal to the fair market value of the property distributed in payment of such non-cash dividends by CSAC on the effective date of the relevant action in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or, at the option of the Board of Directors, payable by the delivery of such non-cash items.

The rights of holders of Common Shares under this Section 4.1 to receive unpaid dividends and distributions shall rank pari passu with the rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares to receive unpaid dividends and distributions (as defined in subsections (a) and (b) of the definition of Exchangeable Share Consideration) under Section 6.1 of Part I of these share terms.

ARTICLE 5

RECIPROCAL CHANGES, ETC. IN RESPECT OF

CSAC SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES

5.1            Except for the issuance of employee incentive stock-based compensation in accordance with the terms of any employee stock option plan, in the event that CSAC, without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Common Shares,

(a)issues or distributes CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares) to the holders of the then outstanding CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication, by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than:

(i)            an issue of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to a distribution to which Section 2.1(b) applies, or

(ii)           an issue of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares) to holders of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares who exercise an option to receive dividends of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends, provided that the holders of Common Shares shall receive the same option to either receive such cash dividends pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or receive dividends of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares) or have their Common Shares adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(b);

(b)issues or distributes rights, options or warrants to the holders of the then outstanding CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares entitling them to subscribe for or to purchase CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares, all as applicable and without duplication); or

(c)issues or distributes to the holders of the then outstanding CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares:

(i)shares or securities of CSAC of any class other than CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares;

(ii)rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Subsection 5.1(b);

(iii)evidences of indebtedness of CSAC; or

(iv)assets of CSAC,

- 22 -

 

the Corporation will provide at least five Business Days prior notice to the holders of Common Shares and will ensure that the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares), rights, options, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets is issued or distributed simultaneously to holders of the Common Shares, all as applicable and without duplication.

5.2            In the event that CSAC, without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Common Shares,

(a)subdivides, redivides or changes the then outstanding CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares into a greater number of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares;

(b)reduces, combines, consolidates or changes the then outstanding CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares into a lesser number of CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares; or

  (c) reclassifies or otherwise changes the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares or effects an amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other similar transaction affecting the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares,

 

the Corporation will ensure that the same or an economically equivalent change as effected in respect of the CSAC Subordinate Voting Shares shall simultaneously be made to, or in, the rights of the holders of the Common Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision in these share provisions, this Article 4 shall not be changed without the approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares.

PART III

 

GENERAL

Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles of Incorporation, the Exchange Rights Agreement and the Support Agreement to the contrary, no shareholder shall receive duplicate rights and privileges upon the occurrence of the same event. For example, if a cash dividend is declared on the CSAC Subordinated Voting Shares, then the holders of Exchangeable Shares shall receive a comparable cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I. They shall not receive a second cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I because a cash dividend was also triggered on the Common Shares under Section 2.1 of Part II arising from the same cash dividend declared on the CSAC Subordinated Voting Shares. This prohibition on duplication applies to both the Exchangeable Shares and Common Shares and with respect to all dividends, distributions, rights offerings, stock splits, consolidations, recapitalization, reorganizations and any other right or privilege applicable to them.

For the avoidance of doubt, and for purposes of illustration only, the daily exchange rate as published by the Bank of Canada as on September 1, 2021 with respect to the US Dollar was 1.2607 such that, if the US Dollar amount is $10,000,000, the Canadian Dollar Equivalent as of September 1, 2021 would equal $10,000,000 x 1.2607, thus: C$12,607,000.

ARTICLE 3
DIVIDENDS

 

3.1           Dividends. A Class B Shareholder shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A Class B Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class B Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class A Share other than dividends or distributions declared on Class A Shares as a corresponding dividend from dividends or distributions declared on Parent Subordinate Voting Shares. No dividend shall be paid by the Corporation on the Class B Shares unless an equal per share dividend is paid by Parent on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class B Shares pursuant to this Section 3.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law.

3.2           Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1, if any, and the sending of such a check to each Class B Shareholder, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. No Class B Shareholder shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

 

3.3           Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the Class B Shareholders entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1 shall be determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Bylaws.

 

3.4           Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1 due to solvency requirement of the provisions of applicable law, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class B Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly to make payment of such dividend or distribution n in satisfaction of such solvency requirements and in compliance with such applicable law.

 

3.5           Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2, and shall provide the Class B Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these share provisions, within (10) Business Days following the delivery of the written determination of economic equivalence to the Class B Shareholders, the Sellers’ Representative may dispute such determination by written notice to the Board of Directors (the “Dispute Notice”). If the Dispute Notice is so given, the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, and the Board of Directors, on the other hand, shall jointly select an appraiser which shall be an independent, nationally recognized firm of chartered professional accountants (the “Appraiser”) who shall determine the economic equivalence; provided, however, that if the Sellers’ Representative and the Board of Directors cannot agree upon a single appraiser, MGO LLP shall be the Appraiser for purposes of this Section 3.5. The Appraiser shall conduct such independent procedures and investigations as the Appraiser shall deem necessary in order to form an opinion as to the economic equivalence and shall give written notice within thirty (30) days of its appointment as Appraiser of its determination to the Sellers’ Representative and the Board of Directors. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the Class B Shareholders and the Corporation, absent manifest error. The fees of the Appraiser shall be borne by the Class B Shareholders, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand, in such amount(s) as will be determined by the Appraiser based on the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted to the Appraiser that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers’ Representative, on the one hand, or the Corporation, on the other hand, as determined by the Appraiser, bears to the total amount of such disputed items so referred to the Appraiser for resolution.

(a)specifying that the holder desires to have all or a specified portion of the Class B Shares represented by such certificate or certificates (or a lost stock certificate affidavit in lieu thereof) (the “retracted Shares”) redeemed by the Corporation;

 

11

 

 

(b)stating the Business Day on which the holder desires to have the Corporation redeem the Retracted Shares (the “Retraction Date”), provided that the Retraction Date shall be not less than five (5) Business Days nor more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation, and further provided that, in the event that no such Business Day is specified by the holder in the Retraction Request, the Retraction Date shall be deemed to be the 20th Business Day after the date on which the Retraction Request is received by the Corporation;

 

(c)acknowledging the overriding right (the “Retraction Call Right”) of Parent, pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement, to purchase all but not less than all of the Retracted Shares directly from the holder and that the Retraction Request shall be deemed to be a revocable offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to Parent in accordance with the Retraction Call Right on the terms and conditions set out in Article 5 of the Exchange Rights Agreement; and

 

(d)in the case of a holder who is a Resident, representing and warranting that the holder is a Resident.

 

7.2           Purchase by the Corporation. Subject to the exercise by Parent of the Retraction Call Right, upon receipt by the Corporation in the manner specified in Section 7.1 of a certificate or certificates representing the number of Retracted Shares (or a lost stock certificate affidavit in lieu thereof), together with a Retraction Request, and provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 7.6, the Corporation shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date and shall cause to be delivered to such holder the Retraction Price. If only part of the Class B Shares represented by any certificate is redeemed (or purchased by Parent or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the Retraction Call Right), a new certificate for the balance of such Class B Shares to be retained by the Class B Shareholders shall be issued to the holder by the Corporation at the expense of the Corporation.

 

7.3           Payment of Retraction Price. The Corporation shall deliver the Retraction Price in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 and such delivery by the Corporation shall be deemed to be payment of and shall satisfy and discharge all liability for the total Retraction Price.

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 the Retraction Price per Class B Share, less any amounts on account of tax properly withheld accordance with applicable law and Section 13.3, unless upon presentation and surrender of certificates (or a lost stock certificate affidavit in lieu thereof) in accordance with the foregoing provisions, payment of the total Retraction Price payable to such holder shall not be made as provided in Section 7.3, in which case the rights of such holder shall remain unaffected until the total Retraction Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. Concurrently with such Class B Shareholder ceasing to be a holder of such Class B Shares, such Class B Shareholder shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares comprising part of the Class B Share Consideration regardless of the date of delivery of the certificates or DRS confirmation to them or a custodian on their behalf.

 

12

 

 

7.5           Limitation on Retraction Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, 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 Board of Directors determines that on any Retraction Date the Corporation 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 the next whole number of shares) as would not be contrary to such provisions and shall notify the holder at least two (2) 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 duly delivered a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 7.2 on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.2. Provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 7.6, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.2 as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law shall be redeemed by giving the Retraction Request to require Parent to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by Parent to such holder of the Retraction Price for each such Retracted Share pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement.

 

7.6           Withdrawal of Retraction Request. A Class B Shareholder who has submitted a Retraction Request 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 such holder’s Retraction Request, in which event such Retraction Request shall be null and void and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to Parent shall be deemed to have been revoked.

 

ARTICLE 8

8.1           Redemption Rights. Subject to applicable law, and provided Parent has not exercised the Redemption Call Right and the applicable Class B Shareholders have not exercised the Class B Shareholders’ Put Right, upon the occurrence of a Redemption Event the Corporation shall have the right to redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Class B Shares for an amount per Class B Share equal to the Class B Share Consideration on the last Business Day prior to the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”).

In the case of a Redemption Date established in connection with a Control Transaction, the Redemption Notice and the Shareholder Redemption Notice will be sent on or before the Redemption Date, on as many days prior written notice as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances (provided that at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice is given). In any such case, such notice shall set out the Redemption Date.

 

8.3           Payment and Delivery of Redemption Price. On the Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by Parent of the Redemption Call Right or the exercise of the Class B Shareholders’ Put Right, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the Class B Shares to be redeemed the Class B Share Consideration representing the full Redemption Price for each such Class B Share, upon presentation and surrender at the principal executive office of the Corporation of the certificates representing such Class B Shares (or a lost stock certificate affidavit in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation), together with such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to effect a transfer of Class B Shares under the applicable law and the Constating Documents and (in the case of a holder who is a Resident) a representation and warranty by such Class B Shareholder to be redeemed that such holder is a Resident. Payment of the total Redemption Price for such Class B Shares shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 5. On and after the Redemption Date, the holders of the Class B Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such Class B Shares and 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, less any amounts on account of tax properly withheld in accordance with applicable law and Section 13.3, unless payment of the total Redemption Price delivered to a holder for such Class B Shares shall not be made upon presentation and surrender of share certificates (or lost stock certificate affidavit in lieu thereof) in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected until the total Redemption Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. Concurrently with such Class B Shareholder ceasing to be a holder of such Class B Shares, such Class B Shareholder shall be considered and deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares comprising part of the Class B Share Consideration regardless of the date of delivery of the certificates or DRS confirmation to them or a custodian on their behalf.

PART II

 

CLASS A SHARE PROVISIONS

 

The Class A Shares, as a class, shall have attached thereto the following rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions:

 

ARTICLE 1

INTERPRETATION

 

1.1           The defined terms and other provisions in Article 1 of Part I of these share provisions shall also apply to this Part II. References to Sections made in this Part II are to Sections in this Part II, unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise specified or required by context, the terms “these share provisions”, “hereof’, “herein” and “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to these Class A Share provisions and the Class B Share provisions and not to any particular Article, Section or other portion hereof and include any agreement or instrument supplementary or ancillary hereto.

 

ARTICLE 2
DIVIDENDS

 

2.1           A Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class B Share. Without limiting the foregoing, a Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share:

 

(a)in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Class A Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Parent Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

 

(b)in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date to be paid in Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), by the payment by the Corporation of cash in an amount that is economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors) to the number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent) to be paid on each Parent Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication; or

 

20

 

 

(c)in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares to be paid in property other than (i) cash, (ii) Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, (iii) other equity securities of Parent or (iv) securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent, in such type and amount of property for each Class A Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.5) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class A Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law.

 

2.2           Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each Class A Shareholder, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the Class A Shareholder shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class A Shares contemplated by Section 2.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each Class A Shareholder, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class A Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each Class A Shareholder shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No Class A Shareholder shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

 

2.3           Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the Class A Shareholders entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 shall be the same dates as the record and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares, as applicable.

 

2.4           Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class A Shares then outstanding due to solvency requirements or the provisions of applicable law, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property to make payment of such dividend or distribution n in satisfaction of such solvency requirements and in compliance with such applicable law.

21

 

 

 

2.5           Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2, and shall provide the Class A Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2.

 

ARTICLE 3

VOTING RIGHTS

 

3.1           The holders of the Class A Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Class A Share held at such meetings, except a meeting of holders of a particular class or series of shares other than the Class A Shares who are entitled to vote separately as a class or series at such meeting.

 

ARTICLE 4

LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING-UP

 

4.1           In the event of Liquidation Event, the holders of the Class A Shares shall, subject to the rights of the holders of the Class B Shares under Section 6.1 of Part 1 of these share provisions in respect of any such distribution on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation or other distribution of its property or assets among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary (any such event, “Liquidation Event”), be entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation, except that the Class A Shareholders shall first be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with respect to that portion of the Liquidation Amount payable to the Class B Shareholders under subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of Class B Share Consideration, the following amounts:

 

(a)the sum of (i) unless corresponding equivalent dividends or distributions have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(a) of this Part II prior to or at the effective time of any such Liquidation Event, the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends or other cash distributions declared and paid by Parent on a Parent Subordinate Voting Share prior to or at the effective time of such Liquidation Event, over (B) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends or other cash distributions declared and paid by the Corporation on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(a) of this Part II prior to or at the effective time of such Liquidation Event; plus (ii) the amount of any cash dividends or other cash distributions on the Class A Share which have been declared but not yet paid as of the effective time of such Liquidation Event (determined without duplication of amounts taken into account under clause (i), above), such sum payable in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent by means of a check payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor; plus

 

22

 

 

(b)the sum of (i) unless corresponding equivalent dividends or distributions have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(c) of this Part II prior to or at the effective time of any such Liquidation Event, the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all declared and paid non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions by Parent on a Parent Subordinate Voting Share prior to or at the effective time of such Liquidation Event, over (B) the aggregate fair market value of all non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions declared and paid by the Corporation on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(c) of this Part II prior to or at the effective time of such Liquidation Event, plus (ii) the aggregate fair market value of any non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions on the Class A Share which have been declared but not yet paid as of the effective time of such Liquidation Event (determined without duplication of amounts taken into account under clause (i), above), such sum payable by means of a check payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or, at the option of the Board of Directors, payable by the delivery of non-cash items having a fair market value equal to the amount of such sum.

 

The rights of Class A Shareholders under this Section 4.1 to receive unpaid dividends and distributions shall rank pari passu with the rights of the Class B Shareholders to receive unpaid dividends and distributions (as provided for in subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of Class B Share Consideration) under Section 6.1 of Part I of these share provisions.

 

ARTICLE 5

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF

CSAC Acquisition NJ Corp. (the “Corporation”), a Nevada corporation, hereby amends and restates its Articles of Incorporation to embody in one document its original articles and the subsequent amendments thereto, pursuant to Sections 78.390 and 78.403 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”).

Upon the recommendation of the Board, the sole shareholder of the Corporation, holding all of the voting power, approved and adopted these Articles of Incorporation by written consent on September 13, 2021. As a result, these Articles of Incorporation were authorized and adopted in accordance with the NRS.

1.2           Registered Office and Registered Agent.

The Corporation may also maintain an office or offices for the conduct of its business, either within or without the State of Nevada.

 

1.3           Purposes. The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the laws of the State of Nevada.

ARTICLE 3
DIVIDENDS

 

3.1           Dividends. A holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class B Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class A Share. Without limiting the foregoing, a holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Class B Share:

 

(a)in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Dividend Effective Date, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Class B Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Parent Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

 

8

 

 

(b)in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date to be paid in Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), by the issue or transfer by the Corporation of such number of Class B Shares for each Class B Share as is economically equal to the number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent) to be paid on each Parent Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication unless in lieu of such stock dividend or distribution the Corporation elects to effect a corresponding and contemporaneous and economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3.5) subdivision of the outstanding Class B Shares; or

 

(c)in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Dividend Effective Date to be paid in property other than (i) cash, (ii) Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, (iii) other equity securities of Parent or (iv) securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent, in such type and amount of property for each Class B Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3.5) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class B Shares pursuant to this Section 3.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the provisions of this Section 3.1 and Article XII shall be applied to ensure that holders of Class B Shares are treated in a manner economically equivalent to treatment of holders of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (A) with respect to stock dividends and other distributions described in Section 3.1(b), from and after the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to dividends and other distributions described in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(c), from and after the Dividend Effective Date, and in no such event shall such provisions be applied to confer a benefit on any other Person, and (ii) in no event shall any holder of a Class B Share be entitled to receive any dividend or distribution on such Class B Share pursuant to Sections 3.1(a) or 3.1(c) unless the applicable Parent Distribution Declaration Date falls on or after the Dividend Effective Date.

 

3.2           Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of a Class B Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Class B Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class B Shares contemplated by Section 3.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Class B Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class B Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1(c) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Class B Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

3.3           Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Class B Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1 shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable.

 

3.4           Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class B Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly applicable to the payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

3.5           Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2, and shall provide the Class B Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these share provisions, within (10) Business Days following the delivery of the written determination of economic equivalence to the Class B Shareholders, the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Class B Shares (the “Majority Holders”) may dispute such determination by written notice to the Board of Directors (the “Dispute Notice”). If the Dispute Notice is so given, the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Board of Directors, on the other hand, shall jointly select an appraiser which shall be an independent, nationally recognized firm of chartered professional accountants (the “Appraiser”) who shall determine the economic equivalence; provided, however, that if the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors cannot agree upon a single appraiser, KPMG shall be the Appraiser for purposes of this Section 3.5. The Appraiser shall conduct such independent procedures and investigations as the Appraiser shall deem necessary in order to form an opinion as to the economic equivalence and shall give written notice within thirty (30) days of its appointment as Appraiser of its determination to the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the Class B Shareholders and the Corporation, absent manifest error. The fees of the Appraiser shall be borne by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand, in such amount(s) as will be determined by the Appraiser based on the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted to the Appraiser that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, or the Corporation, on the other hand, as determined by the appraiser, bears to the total amount of such disputed items so referred to the Appraiser for resolution.

On and after the close of business on the Retraction Date, provided that presentation and surrender of certificates and payment of the total Retraction Price has been made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the holder of the Retracted Shares so redeemed by the Corporation shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes to be a holder of the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares delivered to such holder.

7.5           Limitation on Retraction Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, 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 the next 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 duly delivered a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 7.2 on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.2. Provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 7.6, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.2 as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law shall be redeemed by giving the Retraction Request to require Parent to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by Parent to such holder of the Retraction Price for each such Retracted Share pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement.

 

7.6           Withdrawal of Retraction Request. 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 and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to Parent shall be deemed to have been revoked.

ARTICLE 2
DIVIDENDS

 

2.1           A holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class B Share. Without limiting the foregoing, a holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share:

 

(a)in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Dividend Effective Date, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Class A Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Parent Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

 

(b)in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date to be paid in Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), by the payment by the Corporation of cash in an amount that is economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors) to the number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent) to be paid on each Parent Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication; or

 

20

 

 

(c)in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Dividend Effective Date to be paid in property other than (i) cash, (ii) Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, (iii) other equity securities of Parent or (iv) securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent, in such type and amount of property for each Class A Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.5) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class A Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the provisions of this Section 2.1 and Article V shall be applied to ensure that holders of Class A Shares are treated in a manner economically equivalent to the treatment of holders of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (A) with respect to stock dividends and other distributions described in Section 2.1(b), from and after the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to dividends and other distributions described in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(c), from and after the Dividend Effective Date, and in no such event shall such provisions be applied to confer a benefit on any other Person, and (ii) in no event shall any holder of a Class A Share be entitled to receive any dividend or distribution on such Class A Share pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) or 2.1(c) unless the applicable Parent Distribution Declaration Date falls on or after the Dividend Effective Date.

 

2.2           Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of a Class A Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Class A Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class A Shares contemplated by Section 2.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Class A Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class A Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Class A Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

 

21

 

 

2.3           Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Class A Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 shall be the same dates as the record and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares, as applicable.

 

2.4           Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class A Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly applicable to the payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

2.5           Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2, and shall provide the Class A Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2.

(b)the sum of (i) unless corresponding equivalent dividends or distributions have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(c) of this Part II from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of any such Liquidation Event, the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all declared and paid non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions by Parent on a Parent Subordinate Voting Share from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of such Liquidation Event, over (B) the aggregate fair market value of all non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions declared and paid by the Corporation on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(c) of this Part II from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of such Liquidation Event, plus (ii) the aggregate fair market value of any non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions on the Class A Share which have been declared but not yet paid as of the effective time of such Liquidation Event (determined without duplication of amounts taken into account under clause (i), above), such sum payable by means of a check payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or, at the option of the Board of Directors, payable by the delivery of non-cash items having a fair market value equal to the amount of such sum.

 

The rights of holders of Class A Shares under this Section 4.1 to receive unpaid dividends and distributions shall rank pari passu with the rights of the holders of Class B Shares to receive unpaid dividends and distributions (as provided for in subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of Class B Share Consideration) under Section 6.1 of Part I of these share provisions.

For the avoidance of doubt, no stock, securities or other assets shall be issued or distributed to the holders of Class A Shares under this Section 5.1 unless an equivalent amount on a per share basis is issued or distributed to the holders of Class B Shares under Section 12.1 of Part I.

Notwithstanding any other provision in these share provisions, this Article 5 shall not be changed without the approval of the holders of the Class B Shares given in accordance with Section 11.2 of Part I.

 

25

 

 

PART III

 

GENERAL

 

Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles of Incorporation or the Exchange Rights Agreement to the contrary, no shareholder shall receive duplicate rights and privileges upon the occurrence of the same event. For example, if a cash dividend is declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares after the Dividend Effective Date, then the holders of Class B Shares shall receive a comparable cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I. They shall not receive a second cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I because a cash dividend was also triggered on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 of Part II arising from the same cash dividend declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares. This prohibition on duplication applies to both the Class B Shares and Class A Shares and with respect to all dividends, distributions, rights offerings, stock splits, consolidations, recapitalization, reorganizations and any other right or privilege applicable to them.

DIVIDENDS

 

3.1          Dividends. A holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment of dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class B Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class A Share. Without limiting the foregoing, a holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Class B Share:

 

  (a) in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Dividend Effective Date, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Class B Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Parent Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

 

8

 

 

  (b) in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date to be paid in Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), by the issue or transfer by the Corporation of such number of Class B Shares for each Class B Share as is economically equal to the number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent) to be paid on each Parent Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication unless in lieu of such stock dividend the Corporation elects to effect a corresponding and contemporaneous and economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3.5) subdivision of the outstanding Class B Shares; or

 

  (c) in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Dividend Effective Date to be paid in property other than cash or Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), in such type and amount of property for each Class B Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3.5) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class B Shares pursuant to this Section 3.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) this Section 3.1 shall be applied to ensure that holders of Class B Shares are treated in a manner economically equivalent to treatment of holders of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (A) with respect to stock dividends and other distributions described in Section 3.1(b), from and after the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to dividends and other distributions described in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(c), from and after the Dividend Effective Date, and in no such event shall be applied to confer a benefit on any other Person, and (ii) in no event shall any holder of a Class B Share be entitled to receive any dividend or distribution on such Class B Share pursuant to Sections 3.1(a) or 3.1(c) unless the applicable Parent Distribution Declaration Date falls on or after the Dividend Effective Date.

3.2          Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of a Class B Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Class B Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class B Shares contemplated by Section 3.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Class B Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class B Shares represented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 3.1(c) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Class B Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of a Class B Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

 

3.3          Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Class B Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1 shall be the same dates as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable.

 

3.4          Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class B Shares under Section 3.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class B Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly applicable to the payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

3.5          Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2, and shall provide the Class B Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 3.1, 12.1 and 12.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these share provisions, within (10) Business Days following the delivery of the written determination of economic equivalence to the Class B Shareholders, the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Class B Shares (the “Majority Holders”) may dispute such determination by written notice to the Board of Directors (the “Dispute Notice”). If the Dispute Notice is so given, the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Board of Directors, on the other hand, shall jointly select an appraiser which shall be an independent, nationally recognized firm of chartered professional accountants (the “Appraiser”) who shall determine the economic equivalence; provided, however, that if the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors cannot agree upon a single appraiser, KPMG shall be the Appraiser for purposes of this Section 3.5. The Appraiser shall conduct such independent procedures and investigations as the Appraiser shall deem necessary in order to form an opinion as to the economic equivalence and shall give written notice within thirty (30) days of its appointment as Appraiser of its determination to the Majority Holders and the Board of Directors. Such determination shall be final and binding upon the Class B Shareholders and the Corporation, absent manifest error. The fees of the Appraiser shall be borne by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand, in such amount(s) as will be determined by the Appraiser based on the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of disputed items submitted to the Appraiser that is unsuccessfully disputed by the Majority Holders, on the one hand, or the Corporation, on the other hand, as determined by the appraiser, bears to the total amount of such disputed items so referred to the Appraiser for resolution.

  (c) acknowledging the overriding right (the “Retraction Call Right”) of Parent, pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement, to purchase all but not less than all of the Retracted Shares directly from the holder and that the Retraction Request shall be deemed to be a revocable offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to Parent in accordance with the Retraction Call Right on the terms and conditions set out in Article 5 of the Exchange Rights Agreement; and

7.5          Limitation on Retraction Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, 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 the next 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 duly delivered a Retraction Request, the Corporation shall redeem Retracted Shares in accordance with Section 7.2 on a pro rata basis and shall issue to each holder of Retracted Shares a new certificate, at the expense of the Corporation, representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.2. Provided that the Retraction Request is not revoked by the holder in the manner specified in Section 7.6, the holder of any such Retracted Shares not redeemed by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7.2 as a result of solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable law shall be redeemed by giving the Retraction Request to require Parent to purchase such Retracted Shares from such holder on the Retraction Date or as soon as practicable thereafter on payment by Parent to such holder of the Retraction Price for each such Retracted Share pursuant to the Exchange Rights Agreement.

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 and, for greater certainty, the revocable offer constituted by the Retraction Request to sell the Retracted Shares to Parent shall be deemed to have been revoked.

  (b) at least 10 days before the Redemption Date (other than a Redemption Date established in connection with a Control Transaction), send or cause to be sent to Parent and each holder of Class B Shares a notice in writing (the “Shareholder Redemption Notice”) of the redemption by the Corporation of the Class B Shares held by such holder.

 

In the case of a Redemption Date established in connection with a Control Transaction, the Redemption Notice and the Shareholder Redemption Notice will be sent on or before the Redemption Date, on as many days prior written notice as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances (provided that at least ten Business Days’ notice is given). In any such case, such notice shall set out the Redemption Date.

 

8.3          Payment and Delivery of Redemption Price. On the Redemption Date and subject to the exercise by Parent of the Redemption Call Right or the exercise of the Class B Shareholders’ Put Right, the Corporation shall cause to be delivered to the holders of the Class B Shares to be redeemed the Class B Share Consideration representing the full Redemption Price for each such Class B Share, upon presentation and surrender at the principal executive office of the Corporation of the certificates representing such Class B Shares, together with such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required to effect a transfer of Class B Shares under the applicable law and the Constating Documents and (in the case of a holder who is a Resident) a representation and warranty by such holder of Class B Shares to be redeemed that such holder is a Resident. Payment of the total Redemption Price for such Class B Shares shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 5. On and after the Redemption Date, the holders of the Class B Shares called for redemption shall cease to be holders of such Class B Shares and 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, less any amounts on account of tax properly withheld in accordance with applicable law and Section 13.3, unless payment of the total Redemption Price delivered to a holder for such Class B 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 holders shall remain unaffected until the total Redemption Price has been paid in the manner hereinbefore provided. Upon such payment of the total Redemption Price, the holders of the Class B Shares shall thereafter be considered and deemed for all purposes be holders of the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares delivered to them.

PARENT SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES

 

12.1          Except for the issuance of employee incentive stock-based compensation in accordance with the terms of any employee stock option plan, in the event that Parent, without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Class B Shares given in accordance with Section 11.2,

 

  (a) issues or distributes Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) to the holders of the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication, by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than:

  (c) issues or distributes to the holders of the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (other than an issuance or distribution pursuant to which Section 3.1(c) applies, or would have applied if such issuance or distribution were made after the Dividend Effective Date):

For the avoidance of doubt, no stock, securities or other assets shall be issued or distributed to the holders of Class B Shares under this Section 12.1 unless an equivalent amount is issued or distributed to the holders of Class A Shares under Section 5.1 of Part II.

Notwithstanding any other provision in these share provisions, this Article 12 shall not be changed without the approval of the holders of the Class B Shares given in accordance with Section 11.2.

 

ARTICLE 13

13.1        Legend. The certificates evidencing the Class B Shares shall contain or have affixed thereto a legend in form and on terms approved by the Board of Directors with respect to the provisions of the Exchange Rights Agreement.

 

13.2        Acknowledgement. Each holder of a Class B Share, whether of record or beneficial, by virtue of becoming and being such a holder, shall be deemed to acknowledge each of the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right and the Redemption Call Right, in each case, in favor of Parent, and the overriding nature thereof in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, or the retraction or redemption of Class B Shares, as the case may be, and to be bound thereby in favor of Parent as therein provided.

 

13.3        Withholding Rights. Each of the Corporation, Parent and their Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend or other amount otherwise payable to any holder of Class B Shares such amounts as the Corporation, Parent or such Affiliate is required or permitted (to the extent that absent such permitted withholding, the payor would be liable for, or for amounts on account of, taxes, interest and/or penalties in connection with the payment) to deduct or withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (including without limitation Section 116 and Part XIII thereof), the Code or any provision of provincial, state, local or foreign tax law, in each case, as amended. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the holder of the Class B Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such withheld amounts are actually remitted when done to the appropriate taxing authority and reasonable documentation respecting such payment is provided to the holder of the Class B Shares. To the extent that the amount so required or permitted to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, subject to right of the holder of Class B Shares as provided for below to provide such additional cash as is necessary to satisfy the tax obligations set out above, the Corporation, Parent and their Affiliates are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the non-cash consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Corporation, Parent or such of their Affiliates, as the case may be, to enable it to comply with such deduction withholding requirement and the Corporation, Parent or such of their Affiliates shall notify the holder thereof and remit to the holder any portion of the net proceeds of such sale not required or permitted to be deducted or withheld. All payments to be made hereunder shall be made without interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and if commercially reasonable, prior to selling any non-cash consideration to satisfy tax obligations as provided for above, the Corporation, Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall notify the Class B Shareholder that it shall be making the deductions or withholdings noted above and the Class B Shareholder shall have the option to provide cash to the Corporation, Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable, in amount equal to the amounts to be withheld or deducted within three Business Days of delivery of the notice, in which case the Corporation, Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall not sell any non-cash consideration until such three (3) Business Day period had passed.

ARTICLE 1

INTERPRETATION

 

1.1          The defined terms and other provisions in Article 1 of Part I of these share provisions shall also apply to this Part II. References to Sections made in this Part II are to Sections in this Part II, unless otherwise indicated.

 

ARTICLE 2

DIVIDENDS

 

2.1          A holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the Corporation properly available for the payment dividends of such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. A holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, declare a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share equivalent to each dividend or other distribution declared on each Class B Share. Without limiting the foregoing, a holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Board of Directors shall, subject to applicable law, on each Parent Distribution Declaration Date declare, a dividend or other distribution on each Class A Share:

 

  (a) in the case of a cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Dividend Effective Date, in an aggregate amount in cash for each Class A Share as is equal in U.S. dollars, or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent thereof on the Parent Distribution Declaration Date, in each case, to the per share cash dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication;

 

  (b) in the case of a stock dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Closing Date to be paid in Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), by the payment by the Corporation of cash in an amount that is economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors) to the number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent) to be paid on each Parent Subordinate Voting Share, as applicable and without duplication; or

 

  (c) in the case of a dividend or distribution declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares from and after the Dividend Effective Date to be paid in property other than cash or Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or other equity securities of Parent, or securities convertible for or exchangeable into equity securities of Parent), in such type and amount of property for each Class A Share as is the same as or economically equivalent (as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.5) to the type and aggregate amount of property declared as a dividend or distribution on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication.

 

20

 

 

Such dividends or distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, or out of authorized but unissued shares of the Corporation, as applicable. Any dividend which should have been declared or paid on the Class A Shares pursuant to this Section 2.1 but was not so declared or paid due to the provisions of applicable law shall be declared and paid by the Corporation as soon as payment of such dividend is permitted by such law. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) this Section 2.1 shall be applied to ensure that holders of Class A Shares are treated in a manner economically equivalent to the treatment of holders of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (A) with respect to stock dividends and other distributions described in Section 2.1(b), from and after the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to dividends and other distributions described in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(c), from and after the Dividend Effective Date, and in no such event shall be applied to confer a benefit on any other Person, and (ii) in no event shall any holder of a Class A Share be entitled to receive any dividend or distribution on such Class A Share pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) or 2.1(c) unless the applicable Parent Distribution Declaration Date falls on or after the Dividend Effective Date.

 

2.2          Payment of Dividends. Checks of the Corporation payable at par at any branch of the bankers of the Corporation shall be issued in respect of any cash dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) and the sending of such a check to each holder of a Class A Share, and receipt by that holder of such check, shall satisfy the payment of the cash dividend or distribution represented thereby unless the check is not paid on presentation. Certificates registered in the name of the holder of Class A Shares shall be issued or transferred in respect of any stock dividends or distributions of Class B Shares contemplated by Section 2.1(b) and the sending of such a certificate to each holder of a Class A Share, and the receipt by that holder of such certificate, shall satisfy the stock dividend or distribution of Class B Shares presented thereby. Such other type and amount of property in respect of any dividends or distributions contemplated by Section 2.1(a) shall be paid, issued, distributed or transferred by the Corporation in such manner as it shall reasonably determine and the payment, issuance, distribution or transfer thereof by the Corporation to each holder of a Class A Share shall satisfy the dividend or distribution represented thereby. No holder of a Class A Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Corporation any dividend or distribution that is represented by a check that, if received by such holder, has not been duly presented to the Corporation’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such dividend or distribution was paid.

 

2.3          Record and Payment Dates. The record date for the determination of the holders of Class A Shares entitled to receive payment of, and the payment date for, any dividend or distribution declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 shall be the same dates as the record and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or distribution declared on the Class B Shares, as applicable.

 

21

 

 

2.4          Inability to Pay Dividends. If on any payment date for any dividends or distributions declared on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1, the dividends or distributions are not paid in full on all of the Class A Shares then outstanding, any such dividends or distributions that remain unpaid shall be paid on the first subsequent date or dates determined by the Board of Directors on which the Corporation shall have sufficient moneys, assets or other property properly applicable to the payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

2.5          Determination of Economic Equivalence. The Board of Directors shall determine, in good faith and acting reasonably (with the assistance of such reputable and qualified independent financial advisors and/or other experts as the Board of Directors may require), economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2, and shall provide the Class A Shareholders with a copy of a written determination of economic equivalence and the underlying calculations supporting such determination and the final version of any written report provided by such financial advisors and/or other experts supporting such determination, if requested. For greater certainty, the Board of Directors shall not be under any obligation to procure any such assistance in support of their determination of economic equivalence for the purposes of Sections 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2.

 

ARTICLE 3

VOTING RIGHTS

 

3.1          The holders of the Class A Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each Class A Share held at such meetings, except a meeting of holders of a particular class or series shares other than the Class A Shares who are entitled to vote separately as a class or series at such meeting.

 

ARTICLE 4

LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING-UP

 

4.1          In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or any other distribution of the property or assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of the Class A Shares shall, subject to the rights of the holders of the Class B Shares under Section 6.1 of Part 1 of these share provisions in respect of any such distribution on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of its property or assets among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary (any such event, “Liquidation Event”), be entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of the Corporation, except that the holders of Class A Shares shall first be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis with respect to that portion of the Liquidation Amount payable to the holders of Class B Shares under subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of Class B Share Consideration, the following amounts:

 

  (a) the sum of (i) unless corresponding equivalent dividends have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(a) of this Part II from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of any such Liquidation Event, the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends or other cash distributions declared and paid by Parent on a Parent Subordinate Voting Share from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of such Liquidation Event, over (B) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends or other cash distributions declared and paid by the Corporation on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(a) of this Part II from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of such Liquidation Event; plus (ii) the amount of any cash dividends or other cash distributions on the Class A Share which have been declared but not yet paid as of the effective time of such Liquidation Event (determined without duplication of amounts taken into account under clause (i), above), such sum payable in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent by means of a check payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor; plus

 

22

 

 

  (b) the sum of (i) unless corresponding equivalent dividends have already been declared and have been or will be paid on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(c) of this Part II from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of any such Liquidation Event, the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate fair market value of all declared and paid non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions by Parent on a Parent Subordinate Voting Share from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of such Liquidation Event, over (B) the aggregate fair market value of all non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions declared and paid by the Corporation on the Class A Share under Section 2.1(c) of this Part II from the Dividend Effective Date to the effective time of such Liquidation Event, plus (ii) the aggregate fair market value of any non-cash dividends or other non-cash distributions on the Class A Share which have been declared but not yet paid as of the effective time of such Liquidation Event (determined without duplication of amounts taken into account under clause (i), above), such sum payable by means of a check payable at any branch of the bankers of the payor in U.S. dollars or the Canadian Dollar Equivalent or, at the option of the Board of Directors, payable by the delivery of non-cash items having a fair market value equal to the amount of such sum.

 

The rights of holders of Class A Shares under this Section 4.1 to receive unpaid dividends and distributions shall rank pari passu with the rights of the holders of Class B Shares to receive unpaid dividends and distributions (as provided for in subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of Class B Share Consideration) under Section 6.1 of Part I of these share provisions.

 

ARTICLE 5

RECIPROCAL CHANGES, ETC. IN RESPECT OF

PARENT SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES

 

5.1          Except for the issuance of employee incentive stock-based compensation in accordance with the terms of any employee stock option plan, in the event that Parent, without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Class A Shares,

 

  (a) issues or distributes Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) to the holders of the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, as applicable and without duplication, by way of stock dividend or other distribution, other than:

 

23

 

 

(i)            an issue of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to a distribution to which Section 2.1(b) applies, or

 

(ii)           an issue of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) to holders of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares who exercise an option to receive dividends of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends, provided that the holders of Class A Shares shall receive the same option to either receive such cash dividends pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or receive dividends of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares) or have their Class A Shares adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1(b);

 

  (b) issues or distributes rights, options or warrants to the holders of the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares entitling them to subscribe for or to purchase Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, all as applicable and without duplication); or

 

  (c) issues or distributes to the holders of the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (other than an issuance or distribution pursuant to which Section 2.1(c) applies, or would have applied if such issuance or distribution were made after the Dividend Effective Date):

 

(i)            shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Subordinate Voting Shares;

 

(ii)           rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 5.1(b);

 

(iii)          evidences of indebtedness of Parent; or

 

(iv)         assets of Parent,

 

the Corporation will provide at least five Business Days prior notice to the holders of Class A Shares and will ensure that the economic equivalent on a per share basis of such Parent Subordinate Voting Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Subordinate Voting Shares), rights, options, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets is issued or distributed simultaneously to holders of the Class A Shares, all as applicable and without duplication. For the avoidance of doubt, no stock, securities or other assets shall be issued or distributed to the holders of Class A Shares under this Section 5.1 unless an equivalent amount is issued or distributed to the holders of Class B Shares under Section 12.1 of Part I.

 

24

 

 

5.2          In the event that Parent, without the prior approval of the Corporation and the prior approval of the holders of the Class A Shares,

 

  (a) subdivides, redivides or changes the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares into a greater number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares;

 

  (b) reduces, combines, consolidates or changes the then outstanding Parent Subordinate Voting Shares into a lesser number of Parent Subordinate Voting Shares; or

 

  (c) reclassifies or otherwise changes the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares or effects an amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other similar transaction affecting the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares,

 

the Corporation will ensure that the same or an economically equivalent change as effected in respect of the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares shall simultaneously be made to, or in, the rights the holders of the Class A Shares such that the economic equivalency of the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares and the Class A Shares is maintained (determined without regard to differences in rights to dividends under Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(c) of this Part II). For the avoidance of doubt, no such change shall be made under this Section 5.2 unless an equivalent change is made under Section 12.2 of Part I. Notwithstanding any other provision in these share provisions, this Article 5 shall not be changed without the approval of the holders of the Class B Shares given in accordance with Section 11.2 of Part I.

 

25

 

 

PART III

 

GENERAL

 

Notwithstanding any provisions in these Articles of Incorporation or the Exchange Rights Agreement to the contrary, no shareholder shall receive duplicate rights and privileges upon the occurrence of the same event. For example, if a cash dividend is declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares, then the holders of Class B Shares shall receive a comparable cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I. They shall not receive a second cash dividend under Section 3.1 of Part I because a cash dividend was also triggered on the Class A Shares under Section 2.1 of Part II arising from the same cash dividend declared on the Parent Subordinate Voting Shares. This prohibition on duplication applies to both the Class B Shares and Class A Shares and with respect to all dividends, distributions, rights offerings, stock splits, consolidations, recapitalization, reorganizations and any other right or privilege applicable to them.

RE: CSAC Acquisition TX Corp.

File Number: 805002734

 

It has been our pleasure to file the certificate of formation and issue the enclosed certificate of filing evidencing the existence of the newly created domestic for-profit corporation.

 

Unless exempted, the entity formed is subject to state tax laws, including franchise tax laws. Shortly, the Comptroller of Public Accounts will be contacting the entity at its registered office for information that will assist the Comptroller in setting up the franchise tax account for the entity. Information about franchise tax, and contact information for the Comptroller's office, is available on their web site at https ://window. state.tx.us/taxinfo/franchise/index. html.

 

The entity formed does not file annual reports with the Secretary of State. Documents will be filed with the Secretary of State if the entity needs to amend one of the provisions in its certificate of formation. It is important for the entity to continuously maintain a registered agent and office in Texas. Failure to maintain an agent or office or file a change to the information in Texas may result in the involuntary termination of the entity.

 

If we can be of further service at any time, please let us know.

 

Sincerely,

 

Corporations Section
