(i) declare or pay a dividend on the Common Stock Shares payable in Common Stock, Shares or other capital stock of the Company (or other securities exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Common Shares or other capital stock of the Company) other than pursuant to any optional stock dividend program;
(ii) subdivide or change the then outstanding Common Stock or Shares into a greater number of Common Shares;
(iii) combine consolidate or change the then outstanding Common Stock Shares into a smaller number of shares Common Shares; or
(iv) issue any Common Shares or other capital stock of the Company (or other securities exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Common StockShares or other capital stock of the Company) in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange for existing Common Shares except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03, the Exercise Price and the number of Rights outstanding, or, if the payment or effective date therefor shall occur after the Separation Time, the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights shall be adjusted in the manner set forth below. If the Exercise Price and number of Rights outstanding are to be adjusted:
(xA) the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment will be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the number of shares of Common Stock Shares (or other capital stock) (the "“Expansion Factor"”) that a holder of one share of Common Stock Share immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision subdivision, change, combination or combination issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof and (yassuming the exercise of all such exchange or conversion rights, if any); and
(B) each Right held prior to such adjustment will become that number of Rights equal to the Expansion Factor, and the adjusted number of Rights will be deemed to be distributed among the shares of Common Stock Shares with respect to which the original Rights were associated (if they remain outstanding) and the shares issued in respect of such dividend, subdivision subdivision, change, combination or combinationissuance, so that each such share of Common Stock Share (or other capital stock) will have exactly one Right associated with it. If the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights are to be adjusted, the securities purchasable upon exercise of each Right after such adjustment will be the securities that a holder of the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision, change, combination or issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof. To the extent that such rights of exchange, conversion or acquisition are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights. If, after the Record Time but prior to the Separation Time, the Company issues any securities in a transaction of a type similar to any of the transactions relating to Common Shares described in subparagraphs 2.03(b)(i) or (iv) which are exchangeable for or convertible into or give a right to purchase or subscribe for Common Shares, such securities shall be treated herein as nearly equivalent to Common Shares as may be practicable and appropriate under the circumstances and the Company and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement in order to effect such treatment; provided that no such amendment may materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Rights generally. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 2.03 and Section 3.01, the adjustment provided for in this Section 2.03 shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required under Section 3.01.
(c) In the event the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Shares of rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common. Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to purchase or subscribe for Common Shares) at a price per Common Share (or, if a security convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to purchase or subscribe for Common Shares, having a conversion, exchange or exercise price (including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable security or right) per share less than the Market Price per Common Share on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted. The Exercise Price in effect after such record date will equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion, exchange or exercise price of the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered (including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable securities or rights)) would purchase at such Market Price and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered are initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable). In case such subscription price may be paid by delivery of consideration, part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. To the extent that such rights of exchange, conversion or acquisition are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect based on the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights. For purposes of this Agreement, the granting of the right to purchase Common Shares (whether from treasury shares or otherwise) pursuant to any (i) dividend or interest reinvestment plan or (ii) any Common Share purchase plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company or the investment of periodic optional payments or (iii) employee benefit or similar plans (so long as such right to purchase is in no case evidenced by the delivery of rights or warrants) shall not be deemed to constitute an issue of rights or warrants by the Company; provided, however, that, in the case of any dividend or interest reinvestment plan, the right to purchase Common Shares is at a price per share of not less than 90 percent of the then current Market Price per share (determined as provided in such plans) of the Common Shares.
(d) In the event the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (other than a regular periodic cash dividend or a dividend paid in Common Shares) or rights or warrants (excluding those referred to in paragraph 2.03(c)), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted. The Exercise Price in effect after such record date will equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants so to be distributed applicable to the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right.
(e) Each adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph Section 2.03 shall be made as of of:
(i) the payment or effective date for the applicable dividend, subdivision subdivision, change, combination or combination. In issuance, in the case of an adjustment made pursuant to paragraph 2.03(a); and
(ii) the record date for the applicable dividend or distribution, in the case of an adjustment made pursuant to paragraph 2.03(c) or (d).
(f) Subject to the prior consent of the holders of Voting Shares or Rights obtained as set forth in paragraph 5.05 (b) or 5.05 (c), as applicable, in the event the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time issue any shares of capital stock (other than Common Stock Shares), or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any such capital stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such capital stock in a transaction referred to in subparagraphs 2.03(b) (i) or (iv), if the Board of Directors acting in good faith determines that the adjustments contemplated by paragraphs 2.03(b), (c) and (d) in connection with such transaction will not appropriately protect the interests of the holders of Rights, the Board of Directors may from time to time determine what other adjustments to the Exercise Price, number of Rights or securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights would be appropriate and, notwithstanding paragraphs 2.03(b), (c) and (d), such adjustments, rather than the adjustments contemplated by paragraphs 2.03(b), (c) and (d), shall be made. The Company and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement as appropriate to provide for such adjustments.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment (including any prior adjustments which have been carried forward and not given effect to) would require an increase or a decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price, provided that any adjustment which is not made as a result of this paragraph 2.03(g) shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Each adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be calculated to the nearest cent. Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price is made pursuant to this Section 2.03 the Company shall:
(i) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, and
(ii) promptly file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares a copy of such certificate and mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of Rights.
(h) If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any securities other than Common Shares, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right and the applicable Exercise Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in subsections 2.03 (b),(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (i), (j) and (k), and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Common Shares and shall apply on like terms to any such other securities.
(i) All Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to an Exercise Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Common Shares purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(j) In any case in which this Section 2.03 shall require that an adjustment in an Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the relevant Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares (fractional or otherwise) or other securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(k) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03 to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 2.03, as and to the extent that in their good faith judgment the Board of Directors shall determine to be advisable, in order that any subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares, issuance (wholly or in part for cash) of Common Shares or securities that by their terms are exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Common Shares, stock dividends or issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 2.03, hereafter made by the Company to holders of its Common Shares, subject to applicable taxation laws, shall not be taxable to such shareholders.
(l) The Company covenants and agrees that, after the Separation Time, it will not, except as permitted by Section 5.01 or 5.05 take (or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to take) any action if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.
(m) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the securities so purchasable which were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder.
(n) If the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the earlier of the Separation Time and the Expiration Time issue any Common Shares otherwise than in a transaction referred to in the preceding paragraph, paragraph 2.03(b) each such share of Common Stock Share so issued shall automatically have one new Right associated with it, which Right shall be evidenced by the certificate representing such share. To the extent provided in Section 5.3, Rights shall be issued by the Company in respect of shares of Common Stock that are issued or sold by the Company after the Separation Time.
(b) In the event the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time issue or distribute any securities or assets in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange for Common Stock (other than pursuant to a regular periodic cash dividend or a dividend paid solely in Common Stock) whether by dividend, in a reclassification or recapitalization (including any such transaction involving a merger, consolidation or share exchange), or otherwise, the Company shall make such adjustments, if any, in the Exercise Price, number of Rights and/or securities or other property purchasable upon exercise of Rights as the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion, may deem to be appropriate under the circumstances in order to adequately protect the interests of the holders of Rights generally, and the Company and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement as necessary to provide for such adjustments.
(c) Each adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be calculated to the nearest cent. Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price is made pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment and (ii) promptly file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate.
(d) Rights certificates shall represent the securities purchasable under the terms of this Agreement, including any adjustment or change in the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, even though such certificates may continue to express the securities purchasable at the time of issuance of the initial Rights Certificates.

Adjustments to Exercise Price; Number of Rights. (a) The Exercise Price, the number and kind of securities subject to purchase upon exercise of each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2.3 and in Subsection 3.1(a).
(b) In the event the Company Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time Expiration Time:
(i) declare or pay a dividend on Common Stock Shares payable in Common Stock, Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Common Shares) other than pursuant to any regular dividend reinvestment plan of the Corporation providing for the acquisition of Common Shares;
(ii) subdivide or change the then outstanding Common Stock or Shares into a greater number of Common Shares;
(iii) combine consolidate or change the then outstanding Common Stock Shares into a smaller number of shares Common Shares; or
(iv) issue any Common Shares (or other securities exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Common Shares) in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange for existing Common StockShares except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.3, the Exercise Price and the number of Rights outstanding or, if the payment or effective date therefor shall occur after the Separation Time, the securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights, in each case at the relevant time, shall be adjusted as of the payment or effective date in the manner set forth below. If the Exercise Price and number of Rights outstanding are to be adjusted:
(x1) the Exercise Price in effect after such adjustment will be equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment divided by the number of shares of Common Stock Shares (the "“Expansion Factor"”) that a holder of one share of Common Stock Share immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision subdivision, change, consolidation or combination issuance would hold thereafter as a result thereof and thereof; and
(y2) each Right held prior to such adjustment will become that number of Rights equal to the Expansion Factor, and the adjusted number of Rights will be deemed to be distributed among the shares of Common Stock Shares with respect to which the original Rights were associated (if they remain outstanding) and the shares Common Shares issued in respect of such dividend, subdivision subdivision, change, consolidation or combinationissuance, so that each such share of Common Stock Share will have exactly one Right associated with it. Each adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall be made as of it following the payment or effective date for of the applicable event referred to in this Section 2.3. For greater certainty, if the securities purchasable upon the exercise of Rights are to be adjusted, the securities purchasable upon the exercise of each Right after such adjustment will be the securities that a holder of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of one Right immediately prior to such dividend, subdivision subdivision, change, consolidation or combinationissuance would hold thereafter as a result of such dividend, subdivision, change, consolidation or issuance. If, after the Record Time and prior to the Expiration Time, the Corporation shall issue any shares of capital stock other than Common Shares in a transaction of a type described in Clause 2.3(b)(i) or (iv), shares of such capital stock shall be treated herein as nearly equivalent to Common Shares as may be practicable and appropriate under the circumstances and the Corporation and the Rights Agent agree to amend this Agreement in order to effect such treatment.
(c) In the event the Company Corporation shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Expiration Time issue any shares fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock otherwise Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares, shares having the same rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions as Common Shares (“equivalent common shares”), or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to purchase Common Shares or equivalent common shares at a price per Common Share or per equivalent common share (or, if a security convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to purchase or subscribe for Common Shares or equivalent common shares, having a conversion, exchange or exercise price, including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable security or right per share) less than the Market Price per Common Share on such record date, the Exercise Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction:
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date, plus the number of Common Shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares and/or equivalent common shares so to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion, exchange or exercise price of the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered, including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable securities or rights) would purchase at such Market Price per Common Share. For the purposes of this transaction, Market Price means the average of the daily closing prices per Common Share on each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending five days prior to such date on the principal Canadian stock exchange on which such securities are listed; and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date, plus the number of additional Common Shares and/or equivalent common shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered are initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable).

(j) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in an Exercise Price or the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the relevant Exercise Price per Common Share and the number of Common Shares which were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder.
(k) In any case in which this section 3.2 shall require that an adjustment in an Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Corporation may elect to defer, until the occurrence of such event, the issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of the number of Common Shares and other securities purchasable of the Corporation, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Corporation, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the relevant Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to such holder a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional Common Shares (fractional or otherwise) or other securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(l) Notwithstanding anything in this section 3.2 to the contrary, the Corporation shall be entitled to make such reductions in each Exercise Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this section 3.2, as and to the extent that in its good faith judgment the Board of Directors shall determine to be advisable in order that any: (i) consolidation or subdivision of Common Shares; (ii) issuance wholly for cash of any Common Share or securities that by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares; (iii) stock dividends; or (iv) issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this section 3.2, hereafter made by the Corporation to holders of its Common Shares, shall not be taxable to such shareholders.

If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 2.03 and Section 3.01, the adjustment provided for in this Section 2.03 shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required under Section 3.01.
(c) In the event the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Shares of rights or warrants entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Common. Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to purchase or subscribe for Common Shares) at a price per Common Share (or, if a security convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying a right to purchase or subscribe for Common Shares, having a conversion, exchange or exercise price (including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable security or right) per share less than the Market Price per Common Share on such record date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted. The Exercise Price in effect after such record date will equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date multiplied by a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so to be offered (or the aggregate initial conversion, exchange or exercise price of the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered (including the price required to be paid to purchase such convertible or exchangeable securities or rights)) would purchase at such Market Price; and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities or rights so to be offered are initially convertible, exchangeable or exercisable). In case such subscription price may be paid by delivery of consideration, part or all of which may be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of Rights. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed, and in the event that such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, or if issued, are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed, or to the Exercise Price which would be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement, the granting of the right to purchase Common Shares (whether from treasury shares or otherwise) pursuant to any (i) dividend or interest reinvestment plan or (ii) any Common Share purchase plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company or the investment of periodic optional payments or (iii) employee benefit or similar plans (so long as such right to purchase is in no case evidenced by the delivery of rights or warrants) shall not be deemed to constitute an issue of rights or warrants by the Company; provided, however, that, in the case of any dividend or interest reinvestment plan, the right to purchase Common Shares is at a price per share of not less than 90% of the then current Market Price per share (determined as provided in such plans) of the Common Shares.
(d) In the event the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of Common Shares (including any such distribution made in connection with a merger or amalgamation) of evidences of indebtedness, cash or assets (other than a regular periodic cash dividend or a dividend referred to in paragraph 2.03(b) but including any dividend payable in securities other than Common Shares), assets or rights, options or warrants (excluding those referred to in paragraph 2.03(c)), the Exercise Price shall be adjusted. The Exercise Price in effect after such record date will equal the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of the portion of the assets, evidences of indebtedness, rights or warrants so to be distributed applicable to the securities purchasable upon exercise of one Right.
(e) Each adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph Section 2.03 shall be made as of of:
(i) the payment or effective date for the applicable dividend, subdivision subdivision, change, combination or combination. In issuance, in the case of an adjustment made pursuant to paragraph 2.03(a); and
(ii) the record date for the applicable dividend or distribution, in the case of an adjustment made pursuant to paragraphs 2.03(c) or (d).
(f) Subject to the prior consent of the holders of Voting Shares or Rights obtained as set forth in paragraphs 5.05(b) or 5.05(c), as applicable, in the event the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time issue any shares of capital stock (other than Common Stock Shares), or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any such capital stock, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for any such capital stock in a transaction referred to in subparagraphs 2.03(b)(i) or (iv), if the Board of Directors acting in good faith determines that the adjustments contemplated by paragraphs 2.03(b), (c) and (d) in connection with such transaction will not appropriately protect the interests of the holders of Rights, the Board of Directors may from time to time determine what other adjustments to the Exercise Price, number of Rights or securities purchasable upon exercise of Rights would be appropriate and, notwithstanding paragraphs 2.03(b), (c) and (d), such adjustments, rather than the adjustments contemplated by paragraphs 2.03(b), (c) and (d), shall be made. The Company and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement as appropriate to provide for such adjustments.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment to the Exercise Price shall be required unless such adjustment (including any prior adjustments which have been carried forward and not given effect to) would require an increase or a decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price, provided that any adjustment which is not made as a result of this paragraph 2.03(g) shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. Each adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be calculated to the nearest cent or to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share. Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price is made pursuant to this Section 2.03 the Company shall:
(i) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, and
(ii) promptly file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Shares a copy of such certificate and mail a brief summary thereof to each holder of Rights.
(h) If as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 3.01, the holder of any Right thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any securities other than Common Shares, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Right and the applicable Exercise Price thereof shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Common Shares contained in paragraphs 2.03(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (i), (j) and (k), and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Common Shares and shall apply on like terms to any such other securities.
(i) All Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to an Exercise Price hereunder shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of Common Shares purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(j) In any case in which this Section 2.03 shall require that an adjustment in an Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the holder of any Right exercised after such record date of the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Common Shares and other securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the relevant Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder’s right to receive such additional Common Shares (fractional or otherwise) or other securities upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(k) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03 to the contrary, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Exercise Price, in addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 2.03, as and to the extent that in their good faith judgment the Board of Directors shall determine to be advisable, in order that any subdivision or consolidation of the Common Shares, issuance (wholly or in part for cash) of Common Shares or securities that by their terms are exchangeable for or convertible into or giving a right to acquire Common Shares, stock dividends or issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 2.03, hereafter made by the Company to holders of its Common Shares, subject to applicable taxation laws, shall not be taxable to such shareholders.
(l) The Company covenants and agrees that, after the Separation Time, it will not, except as permitted by Sections 5.01 or 5.05 take (or permit any Subsidiary of the Company to take) any action if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights.
(m) Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights, the Rights Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the securities so purchasable which were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates issued hereunder.
(n) If the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the earlier of the Separation Time and the Expiration Time issue any Common Shares otherwise than in a transaction referred to in the preceding paragraph, paragraph 2.03(b) each such share of Common Stock Share so issued shall automatically have one new Right associated with it, which Right shall be evidenced by the certificate representing such share. To the extent provided in Section 5.3, Rights shall be issued by the Company in respect of shares of Common Stock that are issued or sold by the Company after the Separation Time.
(b) In the event the Company shall at any time after the Record Time and prior to the Separation Time issue or distribute any securities or assets in respect of, in lieu of or in exchange for Common Stock (other than pursuant to a regular periodic cash dividend or a dividend paid solely in Common Stock) whether by dividend, in a reclassification or recapitalization (including any such transaction involving a merger, consolidation or share exchange), or otherwise, the Company shall make such adjustments, if any, in the Exercise Price, number of Rights and/or securities or other property purchasable upon exercise of Rights as the Board of Directors of the Company, in its sole discretion, may deem to be appropriate under the circumstances in order to adequately protect the interests of the holders of Rights generally, and the Company and the Rights Agent shall amend this Agreement as necessary to provide for such adjustments.
(c) Each adjustment to the Exercise Price made pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be calculated to the nearest cent. Whenever an adjustment to the Exercise Price is made pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment and (ii) promptly file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate.
