(b) Parent will not without the prior approval of ExchangeCo and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 10.2 of the Share Provisions: (i) subdivide, redivide or change the then outstanding Parent Common Stock into a greater number of Parent Common Stock; or (ii) reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding Parent Common Stock into a lesser number of Parent Common Stock; or (iii) reclassify or otherwise change Parent Common Stock or effect an amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Common Stock, unless the same or an economically equivalent change (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo as contemplated by Section 2.7(d) hereof) shall simultaneously be made to, or in the rights of the holders of, the Exchangeable Shares. (c) Parent will ensure that the record date for any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) above, or (if no record date is applicable for such event) the effective date for any such event, is not less than five Business Days after the date on which such event is declared or announced by Parent (with contemporaneous notification thereof by Parent to ExchangeCo). (d) The Board of Directors of ExchangeCo shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion, economic equivalence for the purposes of any event referred to in Section 2.7(a) or 2.7(b) hereof and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on Parent. In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo to be relevant, be considered by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo: (i) in the case of any stock dividend or other distribution payable in Parent Common Stock, the number of such shares issued in proportion to the number of Parent Common Stock previously outstanding; (ii) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common Stock (or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Parent Common Stock), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo in the manner above contemplated) of a Parent Common Share; (iii) in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including without limitation any shares or securities of Parent of any class other than Parent Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 2.7(d)(ii) above, any evidences of indebtedness of Parent or any assets of Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo in the manner above contemplated) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding Parent Common Share and the current market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo in the manner above contemplated) of a Parent Common Share; (iv) in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding Parent Common Stock into a greater number of Parent Common Stock or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding Parent Common Stock into a lesser number of Parent Common Stock or any amalgamation, merger, reorganization or other transaction affecting Parent Common Stock, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Parent Common Stock; and (v) in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of Parent Common Stock as a result of differences between taxation laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares). For purposes of the foregoing determinations, the current market value of any security listed and traded or quoted on a securities exchange shall be the weighted average of the daily trading prices of such security during a period of not less than 20 consecutive trading days ending not more than three trading days before the date of determination on the principal securities exchange on which such securities are listed and traded or quoted; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo the public distribution or trading activity of such securities during such period does not create a market which reflects the fair market value of such securities, then the current market value thereof shall be determined by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo, in good faith and in its sole discretion, and provided further that any such determination by the Board of Directors of ExchangeCo shall be conclusive and binding on Parent. (e) ExchangeCo agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from Parent, ExchangeCo will use its best efforts to take or cause to be taken such steps as may be necessary for the purposes of ensuring that appropriate dividends are paid or other distributions are made by ExchangeCo, or subdivisions, redivisions or changes are made to the Exchangeable Shares, in order to implement the required economic equivalent with respect to the Parent Common Stock and Exchangeable Shares as provided for in this Section 2.7.
