Adjustment of Conversion Price (1) The Conversion Price in effect at any date will be subject to adjustment from time to time in the events and in the manner provided in this Article 5.
(2) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation:
(a) issues Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares as a stock dividend or otherwise;
(b) makes a distribution on its outstanding Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (other than an issue of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares pursuant to a right granted to such holders to receive such Common Shares in lieu of Dividends Paid in the Ordinary Course);
(c) subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares; or
(d) reduces, combines or consolidates its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, (any of such events in subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) being called a “Common Share Reorganization”), then the Conversion Price then in effect will be adjusted effective immediately on the effective date or record date for the happening of a Common Share Reorganization, as the case may be, at which the holders of Common Shares are determined for the purpose of the Common Share Reorganization, so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date or record date by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such effective date or record date before giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization and the denominator of which will be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Common Share Reorganization (including, in the case where securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged for or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date).
(3) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue of rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date for such issue (the “Rights Period”), to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares at a price per share to the holder (or at an exchange price or conversion price per share during the Rights Period to the holder in the case of securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares) which is less than 95% of the Current Market Price for the Common Shares on such record date (any of such events being called a “Rights Offering”), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after the end of the Rights Period so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of the Rights Period by a fraction:
(a) the numerator of which will be the aggregate of:
(i) the total number of Common Shares outstanding as of the record date for the commencement of the Rights Offering, and
(ii) a number determined by dividing (I) either (x) the product of the number of Common Shares issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon the exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering and the price at which such Common Shares are offered for such issue or subscription, or, as the case may be, (y) the product of the exchange price or conversion price of such securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares and the number of Common Shares for or into which the securities so offered pursuant to the Rights Offering could have been exchanged or converted during the Rights Period, by (II) the Current Market Price of the Common Shares as of the record date for the commencement of the Rights Offering, and
(b) the denominator of which will be the number of Common Shares outstanding, or the number of Common Shares which would be outstanding if all the exchangeable or convertible securities were exchanged for or converted into Common Shares during the Rights Period, after giving effect to the Rights Offering and including the number of Common Shares actually issued or subscribed for during the Rights Period upon exercise of the rights, warrants or options under the Rights Offering. Any Debentureholder who has exercised the right to convert to Common Shares in accordance with Article 4 during the period beginning immediately after the record date for a Rights Offering and ending on the last day of the Rights Period for the Rights Offering will, in addition to the Common Shares to which that holder would otherwise be entitled upon such conversion, be entitled to that number of additional Common Shares equal to the result obtained when the difference, if any, between the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the end of such Rights Offering and the Conversion Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this Section 5.01(3) is multiplied by the number of Common Shares received upon the conversion of the Debentures held by such Holder during such period, and the resulting product is divided by the Conversion Price as adjusted for such Rights Offering pursuant to this Section 5.01(3); provided that the provisions of Section 4.03 will be applicable to any fractional interest in a Common Share to which such Holder might otherwise be entitled under the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01(3). Such additional Common Shares will be deemed to have been issued to the Debentureholder immediately following the end of the Rights Period and a certificate for such additional Common Shares will be delivered to such Holder within 15 Business Days following the end of the Rights Period. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not so exercised on or before the expiry thereof, the Conversion Price will be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or the securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually delivered on the exercise of such rights, options or warrants.
(4) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, the Corporation fixes a record date for the issue or the distribution to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares of (i) securities of the Corporation, including rights, options or warrants to acquire securities of the Corporation or any of its property or assets and including cash and evidences of indebtedness; or (ii) any property or other assets, including cash and evidences of indebtedness, and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Dividend Paid in the Ordinary Course, a Common Share Reorganization, a Rights Offering or a distribution contemplated by Section 5.01(3) (any of such non-excluded events being called a “Special Distribution”), then the Conversion Price will be adjusted effective immediately after such record date so that it will equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(a) the numerator of which will be:
(i) the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date; less
(ii) the fair market value, as determined by action by the Board of Directors (whose determination, subject to the consent of a Recognized Stock Exchange, will be conclusive), to the holders of Common Shares of such securities or property or other assets so issued or distributed in the Special Distribution; and
(b) the denominator of which will be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price of the Common Shares on such record date. To the extent that any Special Distribution is not so made, the Conversion Price will be readjusted effective immediately to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect based upon such securities or property or other assets as actually distributed.
(5) If and whenever at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares at any time outstanding or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities or other capital reorganization (other than a Common Share Reorganization), or a consolidation, amalgamation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a vertical short-form amalgamation with one or more of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act), or a transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or other entity in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or other property (any of such events being called a “Capital Reorganization”), any Holder of Debentures who exercises the right to convert Debentures into Common Shares pursuant to Debentures then held after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization will be entitled to receive, and will accept for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which such Holder was previously entitled upon such conversion, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property that such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, the holder had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which such holder was previously entitled upon conversion subject, however, to any requirements necessary to ensure that the interest payable on the Debentures will be and will remain exempt from Canadian withholding tax including the requirement in effect on the date hereof for so long as such requirement is in effect that a Holder of Debentures will not be entitled to receive shares, other securities or property other than securities that are “prescribed securities” as defined in Regulation 6208 to the Income Tax Act (Canada) on or prior to five years after the date of issue of the Debentures. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Corporation will take all steps necessary to ensure that, on a Capital Reorganization, the Holders of Debentures will receive the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property to which they are entitled as a result of the Capital Reorganization. Appropriate adjustments will be made as a result of any such Capital Reorganization in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article 5 with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of Holders of Debentures to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 5 will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares, other securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of any Debenture. Prior to or concurrent with effecting a Capital Reorganization, the Corporation will enter into an indenture supplemental hereto approved by action of the Board of Directors and by the Trustee, relying on advice of counsel, that will set forth an appropriate adjustment to give effect to this Section 5.01(5), in which event such adjustment will for all purposes be conclusively deemed to be an appropriate adjustment, subject to any required prior consent of a Recognized Stock Exchange.
(6) If the purchase price provided for in any rights, options or warrants (the “Rights Offering Price”) referred to in Sections 5.01(3) or (4) is decreased, the Conversion Price will forthwith be changed so as to decrease the Conversion Price to the Conversion Price that would have been obtained if the adjustment to the Conversion Price made under Section 5.01(3) or (4), as the case may be, with respect to such rights, options or warrants had been made on the basis of the Rights Offering Price as so decreased, provided that the terms of this Section 5.01(6) will not apply to any decrease in the Rights Offering Price resulting from terms in any such rights, options or warrants designed to prevent dilution except to the extent that the resulting decrease in the Conversion Price under this Section 5.01(6) would be greater than the decrease, if any, in the Conversion Price to be made under the terms of this Section 5.01(6) by virtue of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such decrease in the Rights Offering Price.
(7) In any case in which this Section 5.01 requires that an adjustment will become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder of any Debenture converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event, provided, however, that the Corporation will deliver to such Holder evidence of such Holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of such event and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares on and after the date of conversion or such later date on which such Holder would, but for the provisions of this Section 5.01(7), have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares.
