5. REMOVING the Corporation’s ability to, upon the conversion of the Amended Debentures by a holder thereof, elect to pay the holder cash in an amount and at such time as determined in accordance with the Indenture; and
6. REMOVING the Corporation’s ability to undertake any rights offering, issuance of securities, subdivision of the common shares of the Corporation, dividend or other distribution on the common shares of the Corporation or any other securities, capital reorganization, reclassification or any similar type of transaction in which (i) the number of securities to be issued, (ii) the price at which securities are to be issued, converted or exchanged, or (iii) any property or cash that is to be distributed or allocated, is in whole or in part based upon, determined in reference to, related to or a function of, directly or indirectly, (x) the exercise or potential exercise of the Common Share Redemption Right (as defined in the trust indenture governing the Debentures) or the Common Share Repayment Right (as defined in the trust indenture governing the Debentures), or (y) the Current Market Price (as defined in the trust indenture governing the Debentures) determined in connection with the exercise or potential exercise of the Common Share Redemption Right or the Common Share Repayment Right.

The Corporation will redeem on a pro rata basis $3,500,000 of the principal amount of Amended Debentures outstanding as at the close of business on October 31, 2017 (the “Partial Redemption“).
