the authorized share capital of the Company will be changed by:

EXHIBIT II - 4

(f)
the name of each holder of Arris Class A Preferred Shares will be removed as such from the central securities register of the Company, and all of the issued Arris Class A Preferred Shares will be cancelled with the appropriate entries being made in the central securities register of the Company;

Dealing with Dissenting Shares: Arris Shareholders who duly exercise Dissent Rights with respect to their Arris Shares ("Dissenting Shares") and who:

are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their Dissenting Shares, shall be deemed to have transferred their Dissenting Shares to Arris for cancellation immediately before the Effective Date; or
(b)
for any reason are ultimately not entitled to be paid fair value for their Dissenting Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting Arris Shareholder and shall receive New Shares and InCana Shares on the same basis as every other non-dissenting Arris Shareholder, and in no case shall Arris be required to recognize such persons as holding Arris Shares on or after the Effective Date.
