Adjustment of Exchange Price. The Exchange Price in effect at any date shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth below. (a) If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry the Corporation shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution (other than the issue of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares who have elected pursuant to any dividend reinvestment or share purchase plan or similar arrangement of the Corporation to receive dividends or distributions in the form of Common Shares in lieu of cash dividends or cash distributions paid in the ordinary course on the Common Shares), the Exchange Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution, as the case may be, shall in the case of any of the events referred to in (i) and (iii) above be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision, dividend or distribution (including, in the case where securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date), or shall, in the case of any of the events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 6.5 shall occur. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the dividend or distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 6.5. (b) If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of options, rights or warrants to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares) at a price per Common Share (or having an exchange or conversion price per Common Share) less than 95% of the Current Market Price of a Common Share on such record date, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exchange Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate exchange or conversion price of the exchangeable or convertible securities so offered) by the Current Market Price per Common Share, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the exchangeable or convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such options, rights or warrants are not so issued or any such options, rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exchange Price shall be re-adjusted to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such options, rights or warrants, as the case may be. (c) If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares and other than shares distributed to holders of Common Shares who have elected pursuant to any dividend reinvestment or share purchase plan or similar arrangement of the Corporation to receive dividends or distributions in the form of such shares in lieu of cash dividends or cash distributions paid in the ordinary course, (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding rights, options or warrants entitling the holders thereof for a period of not more than 45 days to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares), (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) other assets (excluding dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course) then, in each such case, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exchange Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, which determination shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences or indebtedness or assets so distributed, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price per Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be. In clause (iv) of this Section 6.5(c) the term “dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course” shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course at the option of holders of Common Shares. (d) If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation, other than as described in Section 6.5(a), or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other Person or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other Person or other entity or a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other similar transaction, any Holder of a Debenture who has not exercised its right of exchange prior to the effective date of such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other similar transaction shall, upon the exercise of such right thereafter, be entitled to receive and accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares then sought to be acquired by it, the kind and amount of securities or property which the Holder of such Debenture would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, consolidation, arrangement or merger, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other similar transaction, in each case if, on the effective date or record date thereof, the Holder of such Debenture had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares into which the Debenture was exchangeable. If determined appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Corporation to give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Section 6.5(d), the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing Person or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance or liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other similar transaction, enter into an indenture which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set forth in this Indenture with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder of Debentures to the end that the provisions set forth in this Indenture shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, with respect to any shares, partnership units, trust units or other securities or property to which a Holder of Debentures is entitled on the exercise of its acquisition rights thereafter. Any indenture entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation, the Issuer and the Debenture Trustees pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.5(d) shall be a Supplemental Indenture. Any indenture entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing Person or other entity, the Issuer and the Debenture Trustees shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 6.5(d) and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, amalgamations, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyances or other similar transactions. (e) In any case in which this Section 6.5 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein, the Corporation and the Issuer may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder of any Debenture exchanged after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares issuable upon such exchange by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Issuer shall deliver to such Holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment 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 Exchange or such later date as such Holder would, but for this Section 6.5(e), have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares pursuant to Section 6.4(b). (f) The adjustments provided for in this Section 6.5 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no adjustment of the Exchange Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exchange Price then in effect; provided however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 6.5(f) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. (g) For the purpose of calculating the number of Common Shares outstanding, Common Shares owned by or for the benefit of the Corporation, the Issuer or any Subsidiary of the Corporation shall not be counted. (h) In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided in this Section 6.5, such question shall be conclusively determined by a nationally recognized firm of chartered accountants appointed by the Issuer and acceptable to the Debenture Trustees (who may be the auditors of the Issuer or the Corporation); such accountants shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation and such determination shall be binding upon the Issuer, the Corporation, the Debenture Trustees, and the Holders absent manifest error. (i) In case the Corporation shall take any action affecting the Common Shares other than action described in this Section 6.5, which in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would materially adversely affect the rights of Holders, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time, by action of the Board of Directors, subject to, as required, the prior written consent of the TSX (or, if the Debentures are not listed thereon, such other exchange on which the Debentures are then listed), as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion may determine to be equitable in the circumstances. Failure of the Board of Directors to make such an adjustment shall be conclusive evidence that they have determined that it is equitable to make no adjustment in the circumstances. (j) Subject to, as required, the prior written consent of the TSX (or, if the Debentures are not listed thereon, such other exchange on which the Debentures are then listed), no adjustment in the Exchange Price shall be made in respect of any event described in Sections 6.5(a), 6.5(b) or 6.5(c) other than the events described in 6.5(a)(i) or 6.5(a)(ii) if the Holders of the Debentures are entitled to participate in such event on the same terms mutatis mutandis as though and with the same effect as if they had exchanged their Debentures prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of such event. (k) Except as stated above in this Section 6.5, no adjustment will be made in the Exchange Price for any Debentures as a result of the issuance of Common Shares (i) at less than the Current Market Price for such Common Shares on the date of issuance or (ii) at less than the then applicable Exchange Price.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such options, rights or warrants are not so issued or any such options, rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exchange Price shall be re-adjusted to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such options, rights or warrants, as the case may be.
(c) If and whenever at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of (i) shares of any class other than Common Shares and other than shares distributed to holders of Common Shares who have elected pursuant to any dividend reinvestment or share purchase plan or similar arrangement of the Corporation to receive dividends or distributions in the form of such shares in lieu of cash dividends or cash distributions paid in the ordinary course, (ii) rights, options or warrants (excluding rights, options or warrants entitling the holders thereof for a period of not more than 45 days to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares), (iii) evidences of its indebtedness, or (iv) other assets (excluding dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course) then, in each such case, the Exchange Price shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Exchange Price in effect on such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by the Current Market Price per Common Share on such record date, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, which determination shall be conclusive) of such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences or indebtedness or assets so distributed, and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market Price per Common Share. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness or assets actually distributed, as the case may be. In clause (iv) of this Section 6.5(c) the term “"dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course” " shall include the value of any securities or other property or assets distributed in lieu of cash dividends or distributions paid in the ordinary course at the option of holders of Common Shares.

(a2) If and whenever at any time prior to In case the Time of Expiry the Corporation REIT shall (i) subdivide or redivide the outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of Common Shares, (ii) reduce, combine or consolidate the outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, or (iii) issue Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution (other than the issue of Common Shares to holders of Common Shares who have elected pursuant to any dividend reinvestment or share purchase plan or similar arrangement of the Corporation to receive dividends or distributions in the form of Common Shares in lieu of cash dividends or cash distributions paid in the ordinary course on the Common Shares), the Exchange Price in effect on the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, reduction, combination or consolidation or on the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution, as the case may be, shall in the case of any of the events referred to in (i) and (iii) above be decreased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such subdivision, redivision, dividend or distribution (including, in the case where securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares are distributed, the number of Common Shares that would have been outstanding had all such securities been exchanged or converted into Common Shares on such effective date or record date), or shall, in the case of any of the events referred to in (ii) above, be increased in proportion to the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from such reduction, combination or consolidation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 6.5 shall occur. Any such issue of Common Shares by way of a dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for the dividend or distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 6.5.

In the event that all of the shares of Common Stock subject to such rights or warrants have not been issued when such rights or warrants expire, then the exchange price shall promptly be readjusted to the exchange price which would then be in effect had the adjustment upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such rights or warrants.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such options, rights or warrants are not so issued or any such options, rights or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exchange Price shall be re-adjusted to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities exchangeable or convertible into Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such options, rights or warrants, as the case may be.

Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Exchange Price which would then be in effect based upon such shares or rights, options or warrants or evidences of indebtedness so distributed allocable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the shares of Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
