    ARTICLE II

    2.1 Board of Directors Nominees

    (a) Subject to Section 2.4, the Investors shall be entitled collectively to designate (i) two nominees (each an "Investor Nominee") for election to the Board of Directors, for so long as the As-Exchanged Ownership of the Investors is not less than 11.1% and (ii) one Investor Nominee for election to the Board of Directors, for so long as the As-Exchanged Ownership of the Investors is less than 11.1% but greater than 5%.  Each Investor Nominee must be an individual acceptable to the Parent, acting reasonably, and eligible to serve as a director of the Parent pursuant to applicable Law.

    
      13

    

    

    
    (b) The Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Investor Nominees are elected to the Board of Directors, including soliciting proxies in support of their election and taking the same actions taken by the Parent to ensure the election of the other nominees selected by the Board of Directors for election to the Board of Directors.

    (c) So long as the Investors are entitled collectively pursuant to Section 2.4 to designate Investor Nominees to the Board of Directors, the size of the Board of Directors shall not exceed nine directors.

    (d) The Investors shall advise the Parent of the identity of an Investor Nominee at least 60 days prior to any meeting of shareholders at which directors of the Parent are to be elected or within 10 days of being notified of the record date for such a meeting.  If the Investors do not advise the Parent of the identity of an Investor Nominee prior to such deadline, then the Investors will be deemed to have nominated their incumbent nominee.

    (e) The parties acknowledge that the initial Investor Nominees are: (i) Dean Hollis and (ii) Albert D. Bolles, and have been appointed to the Board of Directors as of the date hereof.

    (f) In the event that an Investor Nominee shall cease to serve as a director of the Parent, whether due to such Investor Nominee's death, disability, resignation or removal, the Parent shall cause the Board of Directors to promptly appoint a replacement Investor Nominee (who shall be a different person) designated by the Investors to fill the vacancy created by such death, disability, resignation or removal, provided that the Investors remain eligible to designate an Investor Nominee and that the replacement Investor Nominee is acceptable to the Parent, acting reasonably, and is an individual eligible to serve as a director pursuant to applicable Law.

    (g) Each Investor Nominee shall be compensated for his or her service and reimbursed for expenses related to such service consistent with the Parent's policies for director compensation and reimbursement; provided that an Investor Nominee that is a full-time employee of the Investors are not entitled to such compensation but are entitled to such expense reimbursement.

    (h) The Parent shall indemnify an Investor Nominee and provide the Investor Nominee with director and officer insurance to the same extent it indemnifies and provides insurance for the members of the Board of Directors pursuant to its organizational documents, applicable Law or otherwise.

    2.2 Board Committees

    So long as the Investors are collectively entitled pursuant to Section 2.4 to designate Investor Nominees, each Investor Nominee shall be eligible to serve on the committees of the Board of Directors and the Parent shall use reasonably commercial efforts to cause the Board of Directors to appoint one or both of the Investor Nominees, if applicable, to each such committee to ensure that the Investors have a proportionate representation on each such committee, provided that the Investor Nominees satisfy the eligibility criteria for such committee, including any requirements under applicable Laws, as determined by the Board of Directors.

    
      14

    

    

    
    2.3 Board Observer

    (a) Subject to Section 2.4, the Investors shall be entitled collectively to designate one individual (who may be an employee of the Investors or their Affiliates) who is acceptable to the Parent, acting reasonably, (the "Board Observer") to attend meetings of the Board of Directors, committee meetings of the Board of Directors and any executive sessions, as a non-voting observer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the following committees of the Board of Directors shall be entitled to exclude the Board Observer from attending any meeting, or portion thereof, of such committee in its discretion: the Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee.  The Board Observer shall not have the right to vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors or be counted towards determining whether there is quorum for such meeting, but shall be entitled to participate in the discussions of the Board of Directors, committee meetings of the Board of Directors and any executive sessions.

    (b) Subject to Section 2.3(e), the Parent shall:

    (i) provide the Board Observer with notice, if any, of each meeting of the Board of Directors (telephonic or otherwise), in the same manner and at the same time as provided to the Board of Directors;

    (ii) provide to the Board Observer copies of all materials provided to the Board of Directors, in the same manner and at the same time as provided to the Board of Directors;

    (iii) provide to the Board Observer drafts of all resolutions proposed for signature by the Board of Directors (in lieu of a meeting) before such resolutions are so signed, in the same manner and at the same time as provided to the Board of Directors; and

    (iv) permit the Board Observer to attend each meeting of the Board of Directors (telephonic or otherwise), including, without limitation, any committee meeting of the Board of Directors or executive sessions, as an observer,

    except with respect to materials or resolutions, or attendance at such portions of any such meeting, in which (A) the subject matter relates to a transaction, proceeding or matter in which the Investors or their Affiliates or investee entities (other than the Parent) are or may be interested parties, and where the participation in such portion of any such meeting by the Board Observer or access to Confidential Information relating to the Parent would, upon the advice of counsel, give rise to a conflict of interest between the Investors and the Parent, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, (B) the Board of Directors determines, upon the advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve solicitor-client privilege or (C) the Board of Directors determines, upon the advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary for the Parent or its subsidiaries to comply with their respective confidentiality obligations.

    
      15

    

    

    
    (c) The Investors shall advise the Parent of the identity of the Board Observer that it has designated, from time to time.  The parties acknowledge that the initial Board Observer is: Zachary Serebrenik.

    (d) From the date on which the Parent provides notice to the Investors or the Board Observer of a bona fide claim or possible claim for a breach or threatened breach by the Board Observer of  the Observer Agreement, the Parent shall not be required to comply with Section 2.3(b) unless and until such claim is abandoned or resolved substantially in the Board Observer's favour.

    (e) The Board Observer will be required to execute the Observer Agreement before being permitted to attend any meetings of the Board of Directors and/or being provided with any materials provided to the Board of Directors.

    (f) The Investors shall be entitled to designate one alternate Board Observer, who shall be acceptable to the Parent, acting reasonably, to attend meetings of the Board of Directors, committee meetings of the Board of Directors and any executive session, in the place of the Board Observer, provided that (i) the Investors provide written notice of the identity of such alternate Board Observer to the Board of Directors as soon as practicable prior to the meeting at which such alternate Board Observer will attend, and (ii) such alternate Board Observer shall have executed an Observer Agreement before being permitted to attend any meetings of the Board of Directors and/or being provided with any materials provided to the Board of Directors.  For greater certainty, the Parent shall not be required to comply with the timing requirements of Section 2.3(b).

    (g) The Parent shall not be required to (i) pay any compensation to the Board Observer or any alternate Board Observer or (ii) provide any indemnification, or maintain coverage under any policies of directors' and officers' insurance, in favour of the Board Observer or any alternate Board Observer; provided, however, that the Parent shall reimburse any reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Board Observer or any alternate Board Observer in connection with his or her attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors, committee meetings of the Board of Directors or any executive sessions.

    (a) Subject to Section 4.2, the Parent agrees that if the Parent issues for cash consideration any Common Shares or other securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (such securities other than Common Shares, collectively, "Subject Securities"), other than pursuant to an Exempt Issuance (any such issuance, a "Subsequent Offering"), then the Parent shall, promptly following the announcement of such Subsequent Offering, provide a written notice (the "Subsequent Offering Notice") to the Investors setting out: (i) the number of Common Shares or Subject Securities issued or to be issued; (ii) the material terms and conditions of any Subject Securities issued or to be issued; (iii) the subscription price per Common Share or Subject Security issued or to be issued by the Parent under such Subsequent Offering, as applicable; and (iv) the proposed closing date for the issuance of Common Shares or Subject Securities to the Investors, assuming exercise of the Participation Right by the Investors, which closing date shall be at least 10 days following the date of such notice, or such other date as the Parent and the Investors may agree.

    ARTICLE V 

        REGISTRATION RIGHTS

    5.1 Meaning of "Investors"

    For purposes of this Article V, "Investors" shall mean the Investors and their permitted assigns of the Registrable Shares pursuant to Section 7.4(b) and any Demand Registration Request or Piggyback Request shall only be accepted by the Parent if such Demand Registration Request or Piggyback Request has been provided on behalf of holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Shares. To the extent that the Engaged Capital Investors elect to include shares in a Demand Registration hereunder, the Parent's and the Engaged Capital Investors' respective obligations, rights and remedies with respect to any such registration with respect to each other (including with respect to indemnification and contribution) will be governed by the applicable provisions of the Engaged Capital Investor Rights Agreement, to the extent such provisions are not in conflict or inconsistent with the corresponding provisions herein.

    5.2 Demand Registrations

    (a) The Investors may request the Parent to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect a Registration of all or part of their Registrable Shares (such Registration being hereinafter referred to as a "Demand Registration") by filing a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act and a prospectus under Canadian Securities Acts (including, if eligible, a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the U.S. Securities Act and a shelf prospectus under National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions).  Any such request shall be made by notice in writing (a "Demand Registration Request") to the Parent. To the extent such Demand Registration Request seeks to register Common Shares that the Investors have acquired or have the right to acquire upon exchange or conversion of the Purchased Series B Preferred Shares (such Common Shares, "Investor Series B Demand Shares"), within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Demand Registration Request, the Parent will give written notice of such request to the Engaged Capital Investors and, subject to Section 5.2(b), will include in such registration all Common Shares that the Engaged Capital Investors have acquired or have the right to acquire upon exchange or conversion of the Series B-1 Preferred Shares and Series B-2 Preferred Shares purchased by the Engaged Capital Investors on the date hereof and purchased by the Engaged Capital Investors on the exercise of the Series B-2 Sale Option, respectively, that have not been registered pursuant to a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act (such Common Shares, the "Engaged Capital Series B Demand Shares")  with respect to which the Parent has received from the Engaged Capital Investors written requests for inclusion within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Parent's notice to the Engaged Capital Investors, specifying the number of Engaged Capital Series B Demand Shares intended to be registered, provided that such number requested to be registered by the Engaged Capital Investors may not exceed the Engaged Capital Pro Rata Percentage of the number of Investor Series B Demand Shares requested to be registered by the Investors in the Demand Registration Request.  Subject to Section 5.2(b), the Parent shall be entitled to include for sale in any prospectus or registration statement filed pursuant to a Demand Registration any securities of the Parent to be sold by the Parent for its own account.

    (b) If the lead underwriter or underwriters in any underwritten Demand Registration advise the Parent in writing that the inclusion of all the securities requested to be included in a Demand Registration, including securities offered by the Parent for its own account, as applicable,  may have a material adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the securities being offered by the Parent unless the number of such securities is reduced (such reduced offering size, the "Maximum Offering Size"), the Parent will include in such registration, in the priority listed below, in the aggregate up to the Maximum Offering Size: first, all Registrable Shares requested to be registered in the Demand Registration by the Investors, second, the Engaged Capital Series B Demand Shares requested to be registered by the Engaged Capital Investors, and third, securities offered by the Parent for its own account. The Parent shall as soon as practical, and in any event within 65 days, in the case of a registration statement to be filed on Form S-1, and 45 days, in the case of a registration statement to be filed on Form S-3 or a prospectus to be filed under Canadian Securities Acts, of receipt of a Demand Registration Request, file a registration statement covering all of the Registrable Shares that the Investors requested to be registered and, as applicable, the Engaged Capital Series B Demand Shares requested to be registered, and, as applicable, any securities offered by the Parent for its own account, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable.

    
      21

    

    

    
    (c) The Parent shall not be obliged to effect:

    (i) more than an aggregate of two Demand Registrations in any one 12-month period (provided, however, that a registration shall not be deemed "effected" for purposes of this section until such time as the applicable registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC and the applicable final prospectus has been receipted by the relevant Canadian Securities Commission);

    (ii) a Demand Registration in the event the Parent determines in good faith that either (A) the effect of the filing of a prospectus or registration statement could impede the ability of the Parent to consummate a significant transaction (including, without limitation, a financing, an acquisition, a restructuring or a merger) or proceed with negotiations or discussions in relation thereto, or (B) there exists at the time material non-public information relating to the Parent or its subsidiaries the disclosure of which the Parent believes would be materially adverse to the Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; in which case the Parent's obligations under this Section 5.2 shall be deferred for a period of not more than 90 days from the date of receipt of the Demand Registration Request of the Investors, provided that the Parent shall not be permitted to defer the filing of a prospectus under this Section 5.2 more than two times in any 12-month period;

    (iii) a Demand Registration in respect of a number of Registrable Shares that is expected to result in gross proceeds of less than $20 million; or

    
      22

    

    

    
    (iv) a Demand Registration before the 90th day following the date on which (A) a receipt was issued to the Parent with respect to any final prospectus filed by the Parent or (B) a registration statement filed by the Parent became effective.

    (d) The Investors may request the Parent to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect a shelf registration statement or file and obtain a receipt for a shelf prospectus, which registration statement or prospectus contemplates sales or distributions of Registrable Shares, provided that any such request shall not constitute a Demand Registration, unless accompanied by a Demand Registration Request.

    (e) The lead underwriter or underwriters for any offering in connection with a Demand Registration shall be selected by the Investors and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Parent.

    5.3 Demand Registration Request

    Any Demand Registration Request delivered by the Investors pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof shall:

    (a) specify the number of Registrable Shares which they intend to offer and sell;

    (b) express the intention of the Investors to offer or cause the offering of such Registrable Shares;

    (c) describe the nature or methods of the proposed offer and sale thereof and whether the Registration is to be effected in Canada and/or the United States;

    (d) contain the undertaking of the Investors and any applicable Affiliate thereof to provide all such information regarding their Common Share holdings and the proposed manner of distribution thereof, as may be required in order to permit the Parent to comply with all Securities Laws; and

    (e) specify whether such offer and sale shall be made by an underwritten public offering.

    5.4 Piggyback Registrations

    (a) If the Parent proceeds with the preparation and filing of a prospectus in Canada or a registration statement in the United States in connection with a proposed distribution by Parent of any of its securities for its own account, or for the account of any other securityholder whether pursuant to the exercise of registration rights by such other securityholder or otherwise, the Parent shall give written notice thereof to the Investors as soon as practicable (the "Piggyback Notice").  In such event, the Investors shall be entitled, by notice (the "Piggyback Request") in writing given to the Parent within three Business Days after the receipt of the Piggyback Notice, to request that the Parent cause any or all of the Registrable Shares held by the Investors to be included in such prospectus or registration statement (such qualification being hereinafter referred to as a "Piggyback Registration").  The Investors shall specify in the Piggyback Request the number of Registrable Shares which the Investors intend to offer and sell and include the undertaking of the Investors and any applicable Affiliate thereof to provide all such information regarding their Common Share holdings and the proposed manner of distribution of the Registrable Shares, as may be required in order to permit the Parent to comply with all Securities Laws.

    (b) The Parent shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all such Registrable Shares as directed by the Investors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent shall not be required to include all such Registrable Shares in (i) any such distribution by the Parent for its own account if the Parent is advised in writing by its lead underwriter or underwriters that the inclusion of all such Registrable Shares and securities of any other securityholder may have a material adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the securities being offered by the Parent, in which case, the number of Registrable Shares and the securities of the other securityholder to be included in such registration statement or prospectus shall each be reduced, as necessary, on a pro rata basis, or (ii) any such distribution by any other securityholders, if the other securityholders are advised by their lead underwriter or underwriters that the inclusion of all such Registrable Shares may have a material adverse effect on the distribution or sales price of the securities being offered by such other securityholders, in which case, the number of Registrable Shares and securities of any other securityholders shall be reduced, as necessary, on a pro rata basis.

    (c) The Parent may, at any time prior to the issuance of a receipt for a final prospectus or the effectiveness of any registration statement in connection with a Piggyback Registration, at its sole discretion and without the consent of the Investors, withdraw such prospectus and registration statement, as applicable, and abandon the proposed distribution in which the Investors have requested to participate pursuant to the Piggyback Request.

    5.5 Registration Expenses

    All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, and the offering of Registrable Shares related thereto, shall be paid by the Parent; provided, however, that the Investors shall pay all fees, discounts and commissions payable to any underwriter, investment bank, manager or agent and the fees and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter, investment bank, manager or agent in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Shares of the Investors to the extent that such fees and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter, investment bank, manager or agent are not assumed by such underwriter, investment bank, manager or agent in connection with such distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, all fees, discounts and commissions payable to any underwriter, investment bank, manager or agent and the fees and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter, investment bank, manager or agent in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Shares of the Investors shall be paid by the Investors and the Parent pro rata according to the dollar value of Registrable Shares, on the one hand, and other securities, on the other hand, is of the total dollar value of the securities that are registered or qualified for distribution.

    
      24

    

    

    
    5.6 Registration Procedures

    The procedures in Schedule 5.6 shall apply to each Demand Registration and Piggyback Registration, as applicable.

    5.7 Indemnification

    (a) By the Parent.  Parent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Shares, such holder's officers and directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act) (collectively, the "Investor Indemnified Parties") against all losses (other than loss of profit in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Shares), claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or related to any of the following statements, omissions or violations by the Parent: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in respect of a Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Parent of the Securities Laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Parent and relating to action or inaction required of the Parent in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance.  In addition, the Parent will reimburse such Investor Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Parent by such Investor Indemnified Party expressly for use therein or by such Investor Indemnified Party's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Parent has furnished such Investor Indemnified Party with a sufficient number of copies of the same.

    (b) By the Investors.  In connection with any registration statement or prospectus in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor shall furnish to the Parent in writing such information as the Parent reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus.  Each Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Parent, its directors and officers, employees, agents and representatives and each Person who controls the Parent (within the meaning of the U.S. Securities Act) (collectively, the "Parent Indemnified Parties") against all losses (other than loss of profit in connection with the distribution of the Registrable Shares), claims, actions, damages, liabilities and expenses (including with respect to actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, and including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon or related to any of the following statements, omissions or violations by the Investors: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor; or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Investor of the Securities Laws or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Investor and relating to action or inaction required of the Investor in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance.  In addition, the Investors will reimburse such Parent Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Investors to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each Investor and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration statement.

    
      25

    

    

    
    (c) Claim Procedure.  Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person's right to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the opinion of outside counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares included in the registration if such holders are indemnified parties, at the expense of the indemnifying party.

    (d) Non-exclusive Remedy; Survival.  The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Shares and the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

    (e) Contribution.  The Parent and the Investors also agree to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Parent's or the Investors', as applicable, indemnification is unavailable for any reason.  Such provisions shall provide that the liability amongst the various Persons shall be allocated in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of such Persons in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in losses (the relative fault being determined by reference to, among other things, which Person supplied the information giving rise to the untrue statement or omission and each Person's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission) and, only if such allocation is not respected at law, would other equitable considerations, such as the relative benefit received by each Person from the sale of the securities, be taken into consideration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Investor shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the proceeds received by such Investor in the transaction at issue and (ii) no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the U.S. Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

    
      26

    

    

    
    (f) Release.  No indemnifying party shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

    5.8 Expiry of Registration Rights

    The Demand Registration rights and Piggyback Registration rights granted to the Investors pursuant to this Article V shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the first day following the date on which the As-Exchanged Ownership of the Investors is less than 5%.

    5.9 Grant of Registration Rights to Others

    The Parent covenants and agrees that, so long as the Demand Registration rights and Piggyback Registration rights granted to the Investors pursuant to this Article V have not expired, the Parent will not grant to any Person rights of registration that are on terms and conditions, taken as a whole, more favourable than the Demand Registration rights and Piggyback Registration rights granted to the Investors pursuant to this Article V, taken as a whole, unless the Parent offers such rights of registration to the Investors.  Parent, the Issuer and the Investors acknowledge that Parent's and Issuer's entry into the Engaged Capital Investor Rights Agreement is not prohibited by this Section 5.9.

    ARTICLE VI 

        COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

    6.1 Excluded Matters

    During the Standstill Period, each Investor covenants and agrees with the Parent that it shall not exercise any voting rights attached to Common Shares beneficially owned or controlled by the Investors and its Affiliates in connection with any proposal submitted to the shareholders of the Parent in respect of any amendment, waiver, renewal or replacement of the Parent's Shareholder Rights Plan. 

    6.2 Regulatory Approval

    The Parent and the Investors agree that, at the request of the other party, from time to time, they shall cooperate with and assist each other to determine whether a Regulatory Approval is applicable or would be required in connection with the exercise of voting rights pursuant to the Series 2 Special Voting Shares or the exercise of Beneficiary Votes (as defined in the Voting Trust Agreement) by the Investors and their Affiliates pursuant to the Voting Trust Agreement, and whether the exercise of such voting rights must be limited in accordance with the terms of the Voting Trust Agreement pending receipt of such Regulatory Approval, including in each case cooperation from the Parent and the Investors in providing each other with such financial and other information as is required to assess whether the size of the transaction, size of the parties or other thresholds applicable to the determination of whether a Regulatory Approval is required are attained.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed by the parties that the Investors and their Affiliates shall not be required to apply for a Regulatory Approval in connection with the exercise of Beneficiary Votes if such Beneficiary Votes are limited to the Regulatory Voting Cap (as defined in the Voting Trust Agreement).

    
      27

    (iv) propose or seek to influence, change or control the management, the board of directors, governing instruments or policies or affairs of the Parent or its Affiliates, or seek or obtain representation on the board of directors of the Parent or its Affiliates, other than through Investor Nominees acting in such capacity in the bona fide best interests of the Parent or in connection with PMO initiatives, including in each case, without limitation, by means of a "solicitation" of "proxies" (as such terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 of Regulation 14A promulgated pursuant to Section 14 of the U.S. Exchange Act, disregarding clause (iv) of Rule 14a-1(l)(2) and including any otherwise exempt solicitation pursuant to Rule 14a-2(b)), contacting any Person relating to any of the matters set forth in this clause (iv) or seeking to influence, advise or direct the vote of any holder of voting securities of the Parent or its Affiliates or publicly making a request of the Parent or its Affiliates; or

    (v) knowingly advise, assist or encourage any other Person in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 6.3(a).

    (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Investor and its Affiliates shall not be limited in any way from acquiring or offering to acquire, directly or indirectly, any company or business unit thereof that beneficially owns securities of the Parent or its Affiliates so long as (i) such entity's prior acquisition of such securities was not made directly or indirectly on behalf of the Investor and (ii) such entity's ownership of such securities was not a primary factor in the decision to consummate such transaction.

    (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Investors and their Affiliates shall not be restricted from (i) acquiring securities with the prior written consent of the Parent, (ii) acquiring securities in accordance with the Series B-1 Preferred Share Terms, the Series B-2 Preferred Share Terms or the Series A Preferred Shares or pursuant to Section 4.1, (iii) participating in rights offerings conducted by the Parent, (iv) receiving stock dividends or similar distributions made by the Parent, (v) pursuant to an agreement with the Parent and with the consent of the Board of Directors, acquiring Common Shares pursuant to a formal tender offer or take-over bid in accordance with applicable Laws and the requirements of the Shareholder Rights Plan for additional Common Shares which when aggregated with the Common Shares and existing Exchange Common Shares beneficially held and controlled by the Investors (including the number of Exchange Common Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Purchased Series B Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred Shares at such time plus the number of Exchange Common Shares that may become deliverable upon exchange from such time until April 1, 2029 (assuming all dividends are paid until April 1, 2029 in kind and using the Exchange Rate with respect to the Purchased Series B Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred Shares  in effect on the date of such agreement with the Parent, but without giving effect to any applicable Exchange Cap or Rights Plan Exchange Cap) does not exceed 27% of the outstanding Common Shares (on a partially diluted basis after taking into account the number of Exchange Common Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Purchased Series B Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred Shares at such time plus the number of Exchange Common Shares that may become deliverable upon exchange from such time until April 1, 2029 (assuming all dividends are paid until April 1, 2029  in kind and using the Exchange Rate with respect to the Purchased Series B Preferred Shares and the Series A Preferred Shares in effect on the date of such agreement with the Parent), (vi) tendering Common Shares to a formal take-over bid for the Common Shares that the Board of Directors has affirmatively recommended that holders of Common Shares accept, (vii) disposing of Common Shares by operation of a statutory amalgamation, statutory arrangement or other statutory procedure involving the Parent, or (viii) acquiring any Additional Market Shares on or before the date that is 12-months following the date hereof.

    6.4 Lock-Up

    The Investors will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, directly or indirectly transfer, sell, assign, gift, pledge, encumber, hypothecate, mortgage, or otherwise dispose of (collectively, "Transfer") (including through the sale or purchase of options or other derivative instruments with respect to any Series B Preferred Shares or Series B Exchange Common Shares or otherwise) all or any portion of any Purchased Series B Preferred Shares and Series B Exchange Common Shares, beneficially owned or controlled by them, prior to the date that is 18 months from the date hereof, except:

    6.6 Prohibition on Tendering or Locking-up

    Unless and until an Investor and its Affiliates beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the U.S. Exchange Act) less than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares (including any Common Shares issuable on an as-exchanged basis to such Investor and its Affiliates), neither such Investor nor any of its Affiliates shall enter into or offer to enter into or otherwise agree to be bound by a lockup, voting, support or other similar agreement with respect to any Common Shares (or any right or option to acquire Common Shares (whether upon the exchange of the Preferred Shares or pursuant to the terms of a convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security or otherwise)) beneficially owned by such Investor or Affiliate, or over which it exercises control or direction, or tender or vote in favour any such securities, in connection with any Change of Control Transaction unless such Change of Control Transaction is an Approved Change of Control Transaction.

    
      30

    

    

    
    6.7 Prohibition on Private Sale of Control

    In event the Shareholder Rights Plan has been terminated and no similar Shareholder Rights Plan is in force and effect, no Investor shall directly or indirectly (including by way of the Transfer of securities of any holding company or other Affiliate of such Investor), Transfer any Common Shares (or any right or option to acquire Common Shares (whether upon the exchange of the Preferred Shares or pursuant to the terms of a convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security or otherwise)) to or for the benefit of any Person where that other Person would, immediately following such Transfer and based on the written representations to such effect made by such Person, which the Investors reasonably believe are true, either alone or together with other Persons acting jointly or in concert with such Person, beneficially own (as defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the U.S. Exchange Act), or exercise control or direction over, 20% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on the date of such Transfer (or, if such information is not publicly available, the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares determined based on the information most recently provided by the Parent in a material change report or its management's discussion and analysis immediately preceding the date of such Transfer), unless such Transfer is approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Parent or is in connection with an Approved Change of Control Transaction.

    6.8 Ownership Certificate

    (a) The Investors agree to deliver to the Parent a written certificate signed by a senior officer of each Investor (the "Ownership Certificate"), certifying the Ownership of the Investors, as at the date of such certificate, such Ownership Certificate to be delivered to the Parent as reasonably requested from time to time.

    (b) The Investors shall promptly notify the Parent in writing if the Ownership of the Investors is less than 50%, if the As-Exchanged Ownership of the Investors is less than 11.1% and if the As-Exchanged Ownership of the Investors is less than 5%.

    6.9 Reporting Covenant

    As long as the Investors own Registrable Shares, the Parent, at all times while it shall be reporting under the U.S. Exchange Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Parent pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act.

    6.10 Confidentiality

    (a) The Investors will, and will cause their Representatives to, keep confidential and will treat confidentially all Confidential Information. Each of the Investors agrees that it will, and will cause their Representatives to, not disclose or use, for itself or for the benefit of any other Person, any Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, during the Standstill Period, the Investors shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to their Representatives for the purpose of allowing the Investors to provide advice and assistance to the Parent and its subsidiaries in respect of the operations of the Parent and its subsidiaries and for no other purpose. During the period that Investor Nominees serve on the Board of Directors, the Investor Nominees shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to the Investors solely for the purpose of allowing the Investors and their Representatives to advise the Investor Nominees in their capacity as directors of the Parent for the purpose of advancing the best interests of the Parent and for no other purpose, provided that the Investors and the Investor Nominees shall first be required to execute a confidentiality agreement with the Parent, substantially in the form of the Nominee Confidentiality Agreement.

    
      31

    

    

    
    (b) As a condition to the furnishing of Confidential Information to a Representative of the Investors, the Investors shall advise such Representative of the confidential nature of the information disclosed and ensure that the Representative is bound by an obligation of confidentiality sufficient to ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Investors agree that they will be fully responsible for any breach or non-compliance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by their Representatives.  In addition, the Investors will take all commercially reasonable steps including the obtaining of suitable undertakings, to ensure that Confidential Information is not disclosed to any other Person or used in a manner contrary to this Agreement, and promptly notify the Parent of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information or breach of this Agreement.

    (c) The Investors hereby acknowledge that Securities Laws impose restrictions on their ability to purchase, sell, trade or otherwise transfer securities of the Parent until such time as material, non-public information received by the Investors becomes publicly available or is no longer material and the Investors further hereby agree to comply with all such restrictions and to inform those of its Representatives provided with any Confidential Information of such restrictions.

    (d) The term Confidential Information shall exclude: (i) any information that was generally available to the public prior to the date hereof, and (ii) any information that becomes generally available to the public (through no violation hereof by the Investors, their Representatives or by any other Person of its obligations to keep confidential any Confidential Information); provided that a combination of information shall not be considered public merely because individual elements thereof are in the public domain, unless the actual combination of all the elements is in the public domain.

    (e) Nothing in this Section 6.10 is to be construed as granting the Investors any title, ownership, license or other right of interest with respect to the Confidential Information.  The Parent retains all right, title and interest in and to the Confidential Information.

    (f) If the Investors are requested or required to disclose any Confidential Information in connection with any legal or administrative proceeding or investigation, or are required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Investors will provide the Parent with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement, unless prohibited by Law, so that the Parent has an opportunity to seek a protective Order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.10.  If timely notice cannot be given, the Investors agree to make reasonable efforts to seek a protective Order or confidential treatment from the applicable Governmental Entity for such information.  If the Parent waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.10 with respect to a specific request or requirement, the Investors shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is covered by such waiver and which is necessary to disclose in order to comply with such request or requirement.  If (in the absence of a waiver by the Parent) the Parent has not secured a protective Order or other appropriate remedy, and the Investors are nonetheless then legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, the Investors may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is necessary to be disclosed.

    
      32

    

    

    
    (g) At any time upon written request by the Parent, the Investors shall, and shall cause their Representatives to, promptly return to the Parent or promptly destroy all Confidential Information (including, electronic copies) supplied by the Parent to the Investors and their Representatives, without retaining any copy thereof, other than pursuant to standard back-up and emergency recovery procedures, and the Investors shall promptly destroy all Confidential Information prepared by or on behalf of the Investors or their Representatives, together with copies thereof (including, without limitation, electronic copies), except that the Investors shall be entitled to retain copies of the Confidential Information as necessary to comply with applicable Law or with standard back-up or emergency recovery procedures.

    (h) Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information as contemplated hereby or the termination of this Agreement, the Investors will continue to be bound by the terms of this Section 6.10 with respect thereto, including all obligations of confidentiality.

    7.3 Amendments and Waivers

    No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding on any party unless consented to in writing by such party, provided that the prior written consent of the Engaged Capital Investors will be required to the extent such amendment or waiver materially adversely affects any Engaged Capital Investor's rights as a holder of Series B-1 Preferred Shares or Series B-2 Preferred Shares (other than amendments or waivers to Section 6.3 and Section 6.4, as to which the Engaged Capital Investors' consent will not be required).

For greater certainty, no assignment by an Investor or any assignee (each, an "Assignee") of its rights hereunder shall relieve such Assignee of its obligations hereunder.

    (b) The rights of the Investors pursuant to Article V may be transferred or assigned by an Investor to one or more transferees or assignees of Registrable Shares, subject to the transfer restrictions contained in Section 6.4 and Section 6.7, provided however that (i) the Parent is provided written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each transferee or assignee and identifying the Registrable Shares with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned and (ii) each such transferee or assignee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of the Investor under Article V.

    7.7 Other Registration Rights; Engagement Letters

    (a) The Parent represents and warrants that, other than pursuant to the Engaged Capital Investor Rights Agreement, no person, other than holders of Registrable Shares, has any rights to require the Parent to register any securities of the Parent for sale or to include such securities of the Parent in any Registration filed by the Parent for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person.

    (b) The Parent represents and warrants that it has not entered into any engagement letter or arrangement providing any underwriter with the right to participate in offering of equity securities of the Parent, including the Registrations contemplated by this Agreement.

    7.8 Right to Injunctive Relief

    Each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of its covenants hereunder, the harm suffered would not be compensable by monetary damages alone and, accordingly, in addition to other available legal or equitable remedies available to such party, the Investors (in respect of any breach of this Agreement by the Parent or the Issuer) and the Parent and the Issuer (in respect of any breach of this Agreement by an Investor) shall be entitled to apply for an injunction or specific performance with respect to such breach or threatened breach, without proof of actual damages (and without the requirement of posting a bond, undertaking or other security in connection with such action), and each of the parties hereby agrees not to plead sufficiency of damages as a defence in such circumstances.  From the date on which the Parent provides notice to the Investors of a claim or possible claim for a material breach or threatened material breach hereunder, the Investors shall have no further rights under Section 3.1 unless and until such claim is abandoned or resolved substantially in the Investors' favour.

    7.9 Counterparts

    This Agreement and all documents contemplated by or delivered under or in connection with this Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties had signed and delivered the same document, and all counterparts shall be construed together to be an original and will constitute one and the same agreement.

    (b) promptly prepare and file such amendments and supplements to such preliminary prospectus and prospectus or registration statement, as applicable, as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable Securities Laws with respect to the distribution of the Registrable Shares, and to take such steps as are reasonably necessary to maintain the qualification of such prospectus or the effectiveness of such registration statement until the time at which the distribution of the Registrable Shares sought to be sold is completed;

    (c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Shares under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests (provided that the Parent shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iv) register or qualify any Registrable Shares in any jurisdiction outside of Canada and the United States);

    (e) immediately notify the Investors and underwriters of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement, prospectus or registration statement, as then in effect, might include an untrue statement of material fact or might omit any fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made (other than facts or statements provided by the Investors or underwriters);

    (f) promptly notify the Investors (i) of receipt of any comment letters received from the SEC or the Canadian Securities Commission with respect to a registration statement, prospectus or any documents incorporated therein and (ii) any other request by the SEC, the Canadian Securities Commission or any state securities authority for amendments or supplements to a registration statement or prospectus or for additional information with respect to the registration statement and prospectus;

    (g) comply with Securities Laws and the rules, regulations and policies of the TSX, NASDAQ and of any other stock exchange or over the counter market on which the Common Shares are then listed and/or traded;

    (h) use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information as is required for any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority; and

    (i) in respect of any Demand Registration, enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters for the offering containing such representations and warranties by the Parent and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions.

    2. Due Diligence

    In connection with the preparation and filing of any preliminary prospectus, prospectus supplement, prospectus or registration statement as herein contemplated, the Parent shall give the Investors, the underwriters, and their respective counsel and other representatives, the opportunity to participate in the preparation of such documents and each amendment thereof or supplement thereto.  The Parent shall give the Investors and the underwriters such reasonable and customary access to the books and records of the Parent and its subsidiaries and such reasonable and customary opportunities to discuss the business of the Parent with its officers and auditors as shall be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Investors, such underwriters and their respective counsel without undue disruption to the business of the Parent.  The Parent shall cooperate with the Investors and the underwriters in the conduct of all reasonable and customary due diligence which the Investors, such underwriters and their respective counsel may require.

    

    
    3. Indemnification

    The Observer will keep confidential and will treat confidentially all Confidential Information.

    5.2 Permitted Use

    The Observer agrees that he/she will not disclose or use, for himself/herself or for the benefit of any other Person, any Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, during the Term the Observer shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to the Investors and their Representatives for the purpose of allowing the Investors to provide advice and assistance to the Parent and its subsidiaries in respect of the operations of the Parent and its subsidiaries and for no other purpose, provided that such Investors and their Representatives are bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Parent.

    5.3 Exclusions

    The term Confidential Information shall exclude: (a) any information that was generally available to the public prior to the date hereof, and (b) any information that becomes generally available to the public (through no violation hereof by the Observer or by any other Person of its obligations to keep confidential any Confidential Information); provided that a combination of information shall not be considered public merely because individual elements thereof are in the public domain, unless the actual combination of all the elements is in the public domain.

    5.4 Ownership

    Nothing in this Agreement is to be construed as granting the Observer any title, ownership, license or other right of interest with respect to the Confidential Information. The Parent retains all right, title and interest in and to the Confidential Information.

    5.5 Disclosures by Legal Process

    If the Observer is requested or required to disclose any Confidential Information in connection with any legal or administrative proceeding or investigation, or is required by Law to disclose any Confidential Information, the Observer will provide the Parent with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement, unless prohibited by Law, so that the Parent has an opportunity to seek a protective Order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If timely notice cannot be given, the Observer agrees to make reasonable efforts to seek a protective Order or confidential treatment from the applicable Governmental Entity for such information. If the Parent waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement with respect to a specific request or requirement, the Observer shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is covered by such waiver and which is necessary to disclose in order to comply with such request or requirement. If (in the absence of a waiver by the Parent) the Parent has not secured a protective Order or other appropriate remedy, and the Observer is nonetheless then legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, the Observer may, without liability hereunder, disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that is necessary to be disclosed.

    5.6 Return and Destruction of Confidential Information

    At the end of the Term or at any time upon written request by the Parent, the Observer shall promptly return to the Parent or promptly destroy all Confidential Information (including, electronic copies) supplied by the Parent to the Observer, without retaining any copy thereof, and the Observer shall promptly destroy all Confidential Information prepared by or on behalf of him or her, together with copies thereof (including, without limitation, electronic copies), except that the Observer shall be entitled to retain copies of the Confidential Information as necessary to comply with applicable Law.

    5.7 Survival

    Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information as contemplated hereby or the termination of the Term, the Observer will continue to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect thereto, including all obligations of confidentiality.

    2.3 If the Company fails to declare or pay a Cash Dividend in respect of any fiscal quarter ending after the Dividend Change Date or declares and pays a Cash Dividend for such quarter in an amount less than the amount of Accrued Dividends on the last day of such quarter, then the amount of Cash Dividend that is unpaid in respect of such quarter shall be deemed to be Accumulated Cash Dividends.

    2.4 The Board of Directors may from time to time declare and pay additional dividends on such date or dates as the Board of Directors may determine, from all or any part of the Accumulated Cash Dividends out of the moneys of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends, and the payment of any such dividends shall reduce the Accumulated Cash Dividends.

    2.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any shares of Preferred Stock are exchanged into Parent Common Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to an Optional Parent Put Right during the period between the close of business on any Dividend Record Date and the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date:

        11

    

    

    2.5.2 in respect of a fiscal quarter ending after the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the applicable Exchange Date shall be paid in cash on or prior to the date of such Dividend Payment Date;

    For the avoidance of doubt, such Accrued Dividends shall include dividends accruing from the last day of the most recently preceding fiscal quarter to, but not including, the applicable Exchange Date.  The Holders at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive any dividend paid as a Cash Dividend on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

    2.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed by the Company in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation during the period between the close of business on any Dividend Record Date and the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date,

    2.6.1 in respect of a fiscal quarter ending prior to the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the date of redemption with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be Accumulated PIK Dividends and shall be added to the Liquidation Preference for purposes of such redemption;

    2.6.2 in respect of a fiscal quarter ending after the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the date of redemption with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall be paid in cash on or prior to the such Dividend Payment Date.

    For the avoidance of doubt, such Accrued Dividends shall include dividends accruing from the last day of the most recently preceding fiscal quarter to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Redemption Date, as applicable.  The Holders at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive any dividend paid as a Cash Dividend on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

    3.3.2 to make any provision with respect to matters or questions relating to the Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder; or

    3.3.3 to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder (other than any Holder that consents to such change).

    3.4 Prior to the actual delivery of such Parent Common Shares on the applicable Exchange Date, the Parent Common Shares due upon exchange of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be delivered and Holders shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares of Parent Common Shares solely by virtue of holding the Preferred Stock.

    4. Liquidation Rights. 

    4.1 In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each share of Preferred Stock, and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends, and (ii) the sum of (A) the product of the Exchange Rate multiplied by the Market Value as of the effective date of such liquidation, winding up or dissolution plus (B) the Accumulated Cash Dividends thereon.

    
        13

    

    

    4.2 In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Parent, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of such shares of Preferred Stock, and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends thereon and (ii) the amount such Holder would have received had such Holder, immediately prior to such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Parent, exchanged such Preferred Stock for Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 5.1.  Such payment shall be made regardless of whether there is a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company.

    4.3 Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Company (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding up or dissolution of its business), nor the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 4.

    4.4 After the payment in full to the Holders of the amounts provided for in this Section 4, the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company in respect of their ownership of such Preferred Stock.

    5. Exchange.

    5.1 The Holders shall have the right, subject to the Exchange Cap, to exchange their shares of Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference then in effect divided by (ii) the Exchange Price then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 9 (such quotient, the "Exchange Rate").  To exchange shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Parent Common Shares pursuant to this Section 5.1, such Holder shall give written notice (the "Optional Exchange Notice") to the Company, signed by such Holder or its duly authorized attorney or agent, stating that such Holder elects to so exchange shares of Preferred Stock and shall state therein:  (A) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged, (B) a representation by such Holder that the exchange of such number of shares will not cause such Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap, if applicable, (C) the name or names in which such Holder wishes the Parent Common Shares to be delivered, (D) the Holder's computation of the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be received by such Holder, (E) the exchange date (the "Optional Exchange Date"), being a Business Day not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days after the date upon which the Optional Exchange Notice is received by the Company (the "Optional Exchange Notice Date"), (F) the Exchange Price on the Optional Exchange Date and (G) the Securities Representations.  If no Optional Exchange Date is specified in the Optional Exchange Notice, the Optional Exchange Date shall be deemed to be the fifth Business Day after the Optional Exchange Notice Date.  If a Holder validly delivers the Optional Exchange Notice in accordance with this Section 5.1, the Company shall deliver the shares of Parent Common Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five (5) Business Days after the Optional Exchange Date.

    
        14

    

    

    5.2 The Company shall have the right to cause all but not less than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, except those shares of Preferred Stock subject to the Exchange Cap, to be exchanged into that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Exchange Rate then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 9; provided, however that in order for the Company to exercise such right, either (i) on or after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Average VWAP per share of the Parent Common Shares during a 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Forced Exchange Notice Date shall be greater than 200% of the Exchange Price then in effect or (ii) fewer than 10% of the shares of Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date remain outstanding.  To exchange shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Parent Common Shares pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Company shall give not less than thirty (30) days' written notice (the "Forced Exchange Notice" and the date of such notice, the "Forced Exchange Notice Date") to each Holder stating that the Company elects to force exchange of such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 5.2 and shall state therein (A) the exchange date (the "Forced Exchange Date" ), (B) the number of such Holder's shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged, if known, (C) the Exchange Price on the Forced Exchange Date, (D) the Company's computation of the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be received by the Holder, (E) the basis of such forced exchange (being (i) or (ii) above) and (F) the surrender locations specified in Section 5.3.  Each Holder shall deliver to the Company written notice of the number Parent Common Shares held by such Holder for the purpose of the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap within three Business Days of the Forced Exchange Notice, and again upon each change in such number of shares preceding the Forced Exchange Date.  If the Company validly delivers a Forced Exchange Notice to a Holder in accordance with this Section 5.2, the Company shall deliver the shares of Parent Common Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ten Business Days after the Forced Exchange Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2, a Holder may exercise an Optional Parent Put Right after receipt of a Forced Exchange Notice, provided the Optional Parent Put Exchange Date precedes the Forced Exchange Date by at least five Business Days.  Upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to such Optional Parent Put Right, such Forced Exchange Notice shall be rendered void in respect of such shares.  The Company may not exercise its rights under this Section 5.2 unless the Parent Common Shares delivered to the Holders under this Section 5.2 are freely tradable by the Holders under the OSA, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  In the event the Exchange Cap prevents the issuance of all or any part of the Parent Common Shares otherwise required to be delivered to a Holder pursuant to this Section 5.2, the Company shall delay delivery of such Parent Common Shares until the Exchange Cap no longer prevents such delivery, provided that if after 90 days the Exchange Cap still prevents such deliver, the Company shall cause such shares to be sold to a third party and deliver the proceeds of such sale to the applicable Holder.

    
        15

    

    

    5.3 Upon exchange, each Holder shall surrender to the Company the certificates representing any shares of Preferred Stock held in certificated form to be exchanged during usual business hours at its principal place of business or the offices of its duly appointed Transfer Agent maintained by it, accompanied by (i) (if so required by the Company or its duly appointed Transfer Agent) a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or its duly appointed Transfer Agent duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized legal representative and (ii) transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to Section 5.9.

    5.4 Except to the extent that a Holder is not able to exchange its shares of Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares as a result of the Exchange Cap, on the applicable Exchange Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares of Preferred Stock so exchanged and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock so exchanged, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the number of whole Parent Common Shares into which such shares of Preferred Stock have been exchanged (with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 9).  As promptly as practical after the exchange of any shares of Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Holder an ownership notice identifying the number of full shares of Parent Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled, a cash payment in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 9 and a cash payment in respect of the Accumulated Cash Dividends in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock exchanged.  If less than all the shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate or certificates surrendered by a Holder pursuant to Section 5.3 are to be exchanged, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate representing the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate or certificates that are not to be exchanged.

    5.5 The Exchange Price shall be subject to the following adjustments (except as provided in Section 5.6):

    5.5.1 If the Parent pays a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Parent Common Shares to holders of the Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the record date for such dividend (or distribution) shall be divided by the following fraction:

    OS1
OS0

    where

    
        16

    

    

    OS0  =  the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution; and

    OS1  =  the sum of (A) the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution and (B) the total number of Parent Common Shares constituting such dividend.

    5.5.2 If the Parent issues to holders of Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Parent Common Shares at less than the Market Value determined on the Ex-Date for such issuance, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the close of business on the Ex-Date for such issuance shall be divided by the following fraction:

    OS0 + X
OS0 + Y

    where

    OS0  = the number of shares of Parent Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the record date for such issuance;

    X      =  the total number of shares of Parent Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

    Y      = the number of shares of Parent Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Market Value determined as of the Ex-Date for such issuance.

    To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or Parent Common Shares are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to such Exchange Price that would have then been in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Parent Common Shares actually delivered.  If such rights, options or warrants are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Exchange Price shall not be adjusted until such triggering events occur.  In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Parent Common Shares, the exchange agent shall take into account any consideration received for such rights, options or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors).

    5.5.3 If the Parent subdivides, combines or reclassifies the shares of Parent Common Shares into a greater or lesser number of shares of Parent Common Shares, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be divided by the following fraction:

    OS1
OS0

    
        17

    

    

    where

    OS0  =  the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

    OS1  =  the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification.

    5.5.4 Except for any Excluded Issuances, if the Parent issues any Parent Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares for a consideration per share that is less than the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

    

    where

    EP2 = new Exchange Price after giving effect to issuance of additional Parent Common Shares or securities exchangeable or convertible into Parent Common Shares ("New Issue");

    EP1  =  Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the New Issue;

    OS0 = number of Parent Common Shares deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to the New Issue on a fully diluted basis, including on the conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities;

    X    = aggregate consideration received by the Parent with respect to the New Issue divided by EP1; and

    Y    =  number of Parent Common Shares issued, or issuable on exchange or conversion, in the New Issue;

    provided that no such adjustment to the Exchange Price shall cause the Exchange Price to be adjusted below the Exchange Price Floor.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event such adjustment would cause the Exchange Price to be lower than the Exchange Price Floor but for the immediately preceding proviso, then the Exchange Price shall be equal to the Exchange Price Floor.

    5.5.5 In the case of:  (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Parent Common Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), (B) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Parent, (C) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or (D) any statutory share exchange, as a result of which the Parent Common Shares are converted into, or exchanged for, shares, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such transaction or event, a "Capital Reorganization"), then, at and after the effective time of such Capital Reorganization, the right to exchange each share of Preferred Stock shall be changed into a right to exchange such share into the kind and amount of shares, other securities or other property or assets (or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Capital Reorganization (such shares, securities or other property or assets, the "Reference Property").  If the Capital Reorganization causes the Parent Common Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Preferred Stock will be exchangeable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Parent Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election.  The Parent shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.  None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Preferred Stock to exchange its Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 5.1 prior to the effective time of such Capital Reorganization.  Notwithstanding Sections 5.5.1 to 5.5.4, no adjustment to the Exchange Price shall be made for any Capital Reorganization to the extent shares, securities or other property or assets become the Reference Property receivable upon exchange of Preferred Stock.

    
        18

    

    

    5.5.6 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 5.5 need be made to the Exchange Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01.  Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 of the Exchange Price.

    5.5.7 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.5, rights or warrants distributed by the Parent to holders of Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Parent's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"):  (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Parent Common Shares; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Parent Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.5 (and no adjustment to the Exchange Price under this Section 5.5 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exchange Price shall be made under Section 5.5.2.  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to an Exchange Price under this Section 5.5 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, such Exchange Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Parent Common Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Parent Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise thereof, such Exchange Price shall be readjusted as if such expired or terminated rights and warrants had not been issued.  To the extent that the Parent has a rights plan or agreement in effect upon exchange of the Preferred Stock, which rights plan provides for rights or warrants of the type described in this clause, then upon exchange of Preferred Stock the Holder will receive, in addition to the Parent Common Shares to which he is entitled, a corresponding number of rights in accordance with the rights plan, unless a Trigger Event has occurred and the adjustments to the Exchange Price with respect thereto have been made in accordance with the foregoing.  In lieu of any such adjustment, the Parent may amend such applicable stockholder rights plan or agreement to provide that upon exchange of the Preferred Stock the Holders will receive, in addition to the Parent Common Shares issuable upon such exchange, the rights that would have attached to such Parent Common Shares if the Trigger Event had not occurred under such applicable stockholder rights plan or agreement.

    
        19

    

    

    5.5.8 The Company reserves the right to make such reductions in the Exchange Price in addition to those required in the foregoing provisions as it considers advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the recipients.  In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Exchange Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Exchange Price.

    5.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.5, if the Holders are (i) entitled to participate in a distribution or transaction to which Section 5.5.2 applies as if they held a number of shares of Parent Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Preferred Stock immediately prior to such event, without having to exchange their shares of Preferred Stock, or (ii) entitled to participate in a distribution or transaction to which Section 5.5.4 applies in proportion to their holdings of Parent Common Shares on an as exchanged basis, then for purposes of determining the Exchange Price pursuant to Section 5.5.2 or Section 5.5.4 both the number of Parent Common Shares issued or issuable in such transaction or distribution and the aggregate price or consideration received by the Company shall be reduced by multiplying such number, price or consideration by a fraction equal to (A) the aggregate amount of consideration paid by those Holders of Preferred Stock who actually elect to exercise any rights, options, or warrants, distributed to them in such distribution or transaction or to purchase Parent Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares, divided by (B) the aggregate consideration that would have been paid by all Holders of Preferred Stock if such Holders had elected to fully participate in such distribution or transaction.

    5.7 If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Parent Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to stockholders) abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in any Exchange Price then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

    5.8 Upon any increase or decrease in the Exchange Price, then, and in each such case, the Company promptly shall deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an Officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Exchange Price then in effect following such adjustment.

    
        20

    

    

    5.9 The delivery of certificates for Parent Common Shares upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock and the delivery of any Ownership Notice, whether at the request of a Holder or upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock, shall each be made without charge to the Holder or recipient of shares of Preferred Stock for such certificates or Ownership Notice or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby or such Ownership Notice or the securities identified therein, and such certificates or Ownership Notice shall be delivered in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the applicable Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of the relevant Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to deliver any such certificate or Ownership Notice unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the delivery thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

    5.10 Exchange Caps

    5.10.1 No shares of Preferred Stock may be exchanged pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 if and to the extent that, as a result of the delivery to the Holder of Parent Common Shares upon such exchange such Holder would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exchange (such limit, the "Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap").  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Parent Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of Parent Common Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Parent Common Shares which would be deliverable upon (i) exchange of the remaining, unexchanged portion of the Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and (ii) exercise, conversion or exchange of the unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged portion of any other securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, any exchangeable notes or exchangeable preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion, exercise or exchange analogous to the limitation contained herein.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 5.10.1, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  Any purported delivery of Parent Common Shares upon exchange of Preferred Stock shall be void and have no effect if such delivery would result in the applicable Holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap.  This Section 5.10.1 shall cease to be operative and shall be of no further force and effect in the event the shareholders of Parent approve a resolution in accordance with the applicable stockholder approval rules of the Securities Exchange on which the Parent Common Shares are then listed to remove the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap.

    5.10.2 If the number of Parent Common Shares into which shares of Preferred Stock have been exchanged in accordance with both the Certificate of Incorporation and any Optional Parent Put Right (the "Issued Amount") exceed the Make Whole Issuable Maximum, then the Change of Control Redemption Premium shall thereafter be zero dollars ($0.00).

    
        21

    

    

    5.10.3 If any shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed pursuant to Section 7.2 at a Change of Control Redemption Price in which the Change of Control Redemption Premium is greater than zero dollars ($0.00), in the event that any shares of Preferred Stock are subsequently exchanged into Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, the number of Parent Common Shares into which such shares of Preferred Stock may be exchanged shall not exceed the amount equal to (i) the Make Whole Issuable Maximum less (ii) the Issued Amount (such limit, the "Post CoC Exchange Cap", together with the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap, the "Exchange Cap").  For the avoidance of doubt, the Post CoC Exchange Cap may not be removed with shareholder approval.

    5.11 Any shares of Parent Common Shares delivered pursuant to this Section 5 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by matters of any provincial, state or federal law), free and clear of any liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under by law or the Certificate of Incorporation or created by the Holders thereof.

    6. Redemption.

    6.1 On or after the first Business Day that is five years after the Issue Date, the Company shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to redeem all but not less than all shares of Preferred Stock from any source of funds legally available for such purpose.  Any redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreements and any other agreements governing the Company's and the Parent's future or existing outstanding indebtedness.  Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the Company on not less than thirty (30) days' notice to the Holders (the "Optional Redemption Date").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1, a Holder may exercise an Optional Parent Put Right after receipt of an Optional Redemption Notice, provided the Optional Parent Put Exchange Date precedes the Optional Redemption Date by at least three (3) Business Days.  Upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to such Optional Parent Put Right, such Optional Redemption Notice shall be rendered void in respect of such shares.

    6.2 Subject to applicable law, the Company shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 6 by paying cash for each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed in an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Accrued Dividends added to the Liquidation Preference in accordance with Section 2.6.1) plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends (if any) (such amount, the "Optional Redemption Price").

    6.3 The Company shall give notice of its election to redeem the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6 to the Holders of Preferred Stock as such Holders' names appear (as of the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) on the books of the Transfer Agent at the address of such Holders shown therein.  Such notice (the "Optional Redemption Notice") shall state:  (i) the Optional Redemption Date, (ii) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such Holder, (iii) the Optional Redemption Price, and (iv) the place where any shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Optional Redemption Price therefor.

    
        22

    

    

    6.4 If the Company gives the Optional Redemption Notice, the Company shall deposit with or otherwise involve available to the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Preferred Stock, no later than the open of business on the Optional Redemption Date, and the Company shall give the Paying Agent instructions and authority to pay the Optional Redemption Price to the Holders to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Optional Redemption Notice.  If the Optional Redemption Notice shall have been given, then from and after the Optional Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Optional Redemption Notice, all dividends on such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the Optional Redemption Price.  The Company shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on any such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Optional Redemption Price of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed), and the holders of any shares of Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income.  Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Company for any reason, including redemption of shares of Preferred Stock, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the Optional Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, repaid to the Company upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Company.

    7. Change of Control. 

    7.1 In the event of a Change of Control, or other merger, amalgamation, consolidation or similar transaction in which all or any material portion of the consideration to be paid to the holders of the Parent Common Shares is equity in the surviving or successor entity, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to structure the transaction so the Holders have the option to exchange their outstanding shares of Preferred Stock upon such Change of Control, for securities in the surviving or successor entity that have the same rights, preferences and privileges as the Preferred Stock, as appropriately adjusted to account for the Change of Control or other merger, amalgamation, consolidation or similar transaction.

    7.2 The Company shall give notice to the Holders of a Change of Control no later than ten Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date (as determined in good faith by the Company) of such Change of Control or, if not practicable, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than five Business Days after the Company becomes aware of such Change of Control.  In the event of a Change of Control, the Company or a third party with the prior written consent of the Company (such party, as applicable, the "Redeeming Party") shall, in compliance with applicable law and within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of a Change of Control, make an offer to each Holder to redeem all of such Holder's outstanding Preferred Stock.  Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the Redeeming Party in its sole discretion, but no later than thirty (30) days after consummation of the Change of Control (the "Change of Control Redemption Date").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Change of Control Redemption Date may be on the date of the Change of Control, and any redemption pursuant to this Section 8 may be made simultaneously with the Change of Control.  Holders acknowledge and agree that under the terms of the Credit Agreements (as such credit agreement may be amended, restated, refinanced, replaced, converted, exchanged or otherwise modified from time to time) and any other debt instruments of the Company or the Parent that restrict, limit or condition the ability of the Company to redeem stock, and for so long as such restrictive terms continue or have not been waived by the applicable lenders thereunder, upon any redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7, the loans and other loan obligations that are accrued and payable under any such credit agreements or debt instruments will, in each case, be repaid (and any commitments and any outstanding letters of credit thereunder will be terminated) prior to such redemption of the Preferred Stock.  For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be deemed to be a waiver by any Holder of its right to receive from the Company and/or its successor the cash associated with such redemption.

    
        23

    

    

    7.3 Subject to applicable law, the Redeeming Party shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 7 by paying cash for each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed in an amount (such amount, the "Change of Control Redemption Price") equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Liquidation Preference as at the Change of Control Redemption Date plus the Change of Control Redemption Premium plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends as at the Change of Control Redemption Date, and (ii) either (A) in the case of a Change of Control that constitutes a Capital Reorganization in which the Parent Common Shares are not converted or exchanged solely for cash, the cash amount equal to the product of the Exchange Rate as at the Change of Control Redemption Date multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of the Parent Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such Capital Reorganization or, (B) in any other case, the cash amount that a holder of a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Exchange Rate as at the Change of Control Redemption Date would have received in such Change of Control.

    7.4 The Redeeming Party shall give notice of such redemption offer to the Holders as such Holders' names appear (as of the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) on the books of the Transfer Agent at the address of such Holders shown therein.  Such notice (the "Change of Control Redemption Notice") shall state:  (i) the Change of Control Redemption Date, (ii) the Change of Control Redemption Price and (iii) the place where any shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price therefor.

    7.5 If the Redeeming Party gives a Change of Control Redemption Notice, the Redeeming Party shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Preferred Stock as to which such Change of Control Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than the open of business on the Change of Control Redemption Date, and the Redeeming Party shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holders to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Change of Control Redemption Notice.

    8. Events of Noncompliance. 

    
        24

    

    

    8.1 If an Event of Noncompliance has occurred and is continuing, the Dividend Rate shall increase immediately by an increment of 1 percentage point.  Thereafter, until such time as no Event of Noncompliance exists, the Dividend Rate shall increase automatically at the end of each succeeding 90-day period by an additional increment of 1 percentage point(s) (but in no event shall the Dividend Rate increase more than 5 percentage points hereby).  Any increase of the Dividend Rate resulting from the operation of this subparagraph shall terminate as of the close of business on the date on which no Event of Noncompliance exists, subject to subsequent increases pursuant to this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dividend Rate will only be subject to an increase as contemplated by this Section 8.1 if the Parent or Company, as applicable, fails to cure such Event of Noncompliance within thirty (30) days of (i) in the case of an Event of Noncompliance arising from clause (c) of the definition thereof, the first date on which the Parent or Company acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of such event or receives written notice from Holders representing a majority of the Preferred Stock outstanding of such occurrence, or (ii) in all other cases, the date of occurrence of the Event of Noncompliance.

    8.2 If any Event of Noncompliance exists, each Holder shall also have any other rights which such Holder is entitled to under any contract or agreement at any time and any other rights which such holder may have pursuant to applicable law.

    9. No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Parent Common Shares or securities representing fractional shares of Parent Common Shares shall be delivered upon exchange, whether voluntary or mandatory, or in respect of dividend payments made in Parent Common Shares on the Preferred Stock.  Instead, the Company may elect to either make a cash payment to each Holder that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share (based on the Closing Sale Price of such fractional share determined as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the payment thereof) or, in lieu of such cash payment, round up to the next whole share the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be delivered to any particular Holder upon exchange.

    10. Uncertificated Shares; Certificated Shares. 

    10.1 Uncertificated Shares. 

    10.1.1 Form.  The shares of Preferred Stock may be in uncertificated, book entry form as permitted by the bylaws of the Company and applicable law.  Within a reasonable time after the delivery or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Company shall send to the registered owner thereof an Ownership Notice.

    10.1.2 Transfer.  Transfers of Preferred Stock held in uncertificated, book-entry form shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Company kept at an office of the Transfer Agent upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the stock.  The Company may refuse any requested transfer until furnished evidence satisfactory to it that such transfer is proper.

    10.1.3 Legends.

    
        25

    

    

    (A) Each Ownership Notice issued with respect to a share of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the form included in Exhibit A hereto.

    (B) Each Ownership Notice delivered with respect to a Parent Common Share delivered upon the exchange of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend substantially in the form:

    	"THE SECURITIES IDENTIFIED HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION."


    10.2 Certificated Shares. 

    10.2.1 Form and Dating.  Unless requested in writing by a Holder to the Company, Preferred Stock shall be in certificated form ("Certificated Preferred Stock"), and the Preferred Stock certificate and the Transfer Agent's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of the Certificate of Incorporation.  The Preferred Stock certificate may have notations, legends or endorsements required by applicable law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage; provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company.  Each Preferred Stock certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

    10.2.2 Execution and Authentication.  Two Officers shall sign each Preferred Stock certificate for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

    If an Officer whose signature is on a Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent authenticates the Preferred Stock certificate, the Preferred Stock certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

    A Preferred Stock certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually or by facsimile signs the certificate of authentication on the Preferred Stock certificate.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Stock certificate has been authenticated under the Certificate of Incorporation.

    The Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver certificates for shares of Preferred Stock for original issue upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Company.  Such order shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of the Preferred Stock is to be authenticated.

    
        26

    

    

    The Transfer Agent may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the certificates for the Preferred Stock.  Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate certificates for the Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent may do so.  Each reference in the Certificate of Incorporation to authentication by the Transfer Agent includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Transfer Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

    10.2.3 Transfer and Exchange.  When Certificated Preferred Stock is presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer of such Certificated Preferred Stock or to exchange such Certificated Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Certificated Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Preferred Stock surrendered for transfer or exchange:

    (A) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

    (B) is being transferred or exchanged pursuant to subclause (I) or (II) below, and is accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

    (I) if such Certificated Preferred Stock is being delivered to the Transfer Agent by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto; or

    (II) if such Certificated Preferred Stock is being transferred to the Company or to a "qualified institutional buyer" in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 10.2.4.

    10.2.4 Legends.

    (A) Each certificate evidencing Certificated Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form included in Exhibit A hereto.

    (B) Each certification evidencing Common Stock delivered upon the exchange of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

    	"THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAYBE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION."


     

    
        27

    

    

    (C) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security held in certificated form pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Transfer Agent shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for Certificated Preferred Stock or certificated Parent Common Shares that does not bear a restrictive legend and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security.

    10.2.5 Replacement Certificates.  If any of the Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent amount of shares of Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent.

    10.2.6 Cancellation.  In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Certificated Preferred Stock, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation.  The Transfer Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Preferred Stock certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Transfer Agent to deliver canceled Preferred Stock certificates to the Company.  The Company may not issue new Preferred Stock certificates to replace Preferred Stock certificates to the extent they evidence Preferred Stock which the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired.

    10.3 Certain Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Preferred Stock.

    3. Dividends.

    3.1 Holders shall be entitled to receive, with respect to each share of Preferred Stock prior to any distributions made in respect of any Junior Stock in respect of the same fiscal quarter, out of funds legally available for payment, cash dividends ("Cash Dividends") on the sum of the Liquidation Preference plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends in each case in effect immediately after the last day of the immediately prior fiscal quarter (or if there has been no prior full fiscal quarter, the Issue Date), computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the applicable Dividend Rate.  To the extent the Board of Directors so declares, Cash Dividends shall be payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date for the fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to such Dividend Payment Date (or with respect to the first Dividend Payment Date, for the period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter following the Issue Date), to the Holders as they appear on the Company's stock register at the close of business on the relevant Dividend Record Date.  Dividends on the Preferred Stock shall accrue and become Accrued Dividends on a day-to-day basis from the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter, or if there has been no prior full fiscal quarter, from the Issue Date, until Cash Dividends are paid pursuant to this Section 3.1 in respect of such accrued amounts or the Liquidation Preference is increased in respect of such accrued amounts pursuant to Sections 3.2, 3.5 or 3.6.

    3.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.1, the Company may, at the sole election of the Board of Directors, with respect to any dividend declared in respect of any fiscal quarter ending prior to the Dividend Change Date, elect (a "Non-Cash Dividend Election") to have the amount equal to the applicable Dividend Rate multiplied by the Liquidation Preference in effect immediately after the last day of the immediately prior fiscal quarter (or if there has been no prior full fiscal quarter, the Issue Date), computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months to be added, for each share of Preferred Stock, to the Liquidation Preference in lieu of paying Cash Dividends.  If the Company fails to declare or pay a Cash Dividend in respect of any fiscal quarter ending prior to the Dividend Change Date or declares and pays a Cash Dividend for such quarter in an amount less than the amount of Accrued Dividends on the last day of such quarter, and the Company does not make a Non-Cash Dividend Election in respect thereof, then the Company shall be deemed to have made, for each share of Preferred Stock, a Non-Cash Dividend Election for the portion of the Liquidation Preference in respect of which the Cash Dividend is unpaid.

    3.3 If the Company fails to declare or pay a Cash Dividend in respect of any fiscal quarter ending after the Dividend Change Date or declares and pays a Cash Dividend for such quarter in an amount less than the amount of Accrued Dividends on the last day of such quarter, then the amount of Cash Dividend that is unpaid in respect of such quarter shall be deemed to be Accumulated Cash Dividends.

    
        40

    

    

    3.4 The Board of Directors may from time to time declare and pay additional dividends on such date or dates as the Board of Directors may determine, from all or any part of the Accumulated Cash Dividends out of the moneys of the Company properly applicable to the payment of dividends, and the payment of any such dividends shall reduce the Accumulated Cash Dividends. 

    3.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any shares of Preferred Stock are exchanged into Parent Common Shares in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation or pursuant to an Optional Parent Put Right during the period between the close of business on any Dividend Record Date and the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date:

    3.5.1.  in respect of a fiscal quarter ending prior to the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the applicable Exchange Date, at the Company's option, shall either (x) be paid in cash on or prior to the date of such Dividend Payment Date or (y) not be paid in cash, be deemed to be Accumulated PIK Dividends and be added to the Liquidation Preference for purposes of such exchange;

    3.5.2. in respect of a fiscal quarter ending after the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the applicable Exchange Date shall be paid in cash on or prior to the date of such Dividend Payment Date; 

    For the avoidance of doubt, such Accrued Dividends shall include dividends accruing from the last day of the most recently preceding fiscal quarter to, but not including, the applicable Exchange Date.  The Holders at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive any dividend paid as a Cash Dividend on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

    3.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed by the Company in accordance with this this Part C of this Article Fourth during the period between the close of business on any Dividend Record Date and the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

    3.6.1. in respect of a fiscal quarter ending prior to the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the date of redemption with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be Accumulated PIK Dividends and shall be added to the Liquidation Preference for purposes of such redemption;

    3.6.2. in respect of a fiscal quarter ending after the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the date of redemption with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall be paid in cash on or prior to the such Dividend Payment Date.

    For the avoidance of doubt, such Accrued Dividends shall include dividends accruing from the last day of the most recently preceding fiscal quarter to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Redemption Date, as applicable.  The Holders at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive any dividend paid as a Cash Dividend on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

    
        41

    

    

    4. Voting and Protective Provisions.

    4.1 Holders shall not have any rights to notice of, to attend at or to vote at any meetings of the shareholders of the Company except as set forth in this Section 4 or as otherwise from time to time specifically required by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation.

    4.2 So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders representing at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating the actions set forth below, whether by amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, by merger, consolidation or otherwise:

    4.2.1. any issuance, authorization or creation of, or any increase by the Company in the issued or authorized amount of, any specific class or series of Parity Stock or Senior Stock, including the issuance of any Series B-2 Preferred Stock other than pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement;

    4.2.2. any increase in the number of issued or authorized amount of Preferred Stock, or any reissuance thereof;

    4.2.3. any exchange, reclassification or cancellation of the Preferred Stock, other than as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation including Section 6; or

    4.2.4. any amendment, modification or alteration of, or supplement to, the Certificate of Incorporation that would materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder.

    4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the consent of the Holders, the Company, acting in good faith, may amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Preferred Stock by amending or supplementing the Certificate of Incorporation or any stock certificate representing shares of the Preferred Stock:

    4.3.1. to cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or mistake in any such instrument in a manner that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder;

    4.3.2. to make any provision with respect to matters or questions relating to the Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder; or

    
        42

    

    

    4.3.3. to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder (other than any Holder that consents to such change).

    4.4 Prior to the actual delivery of such Parent Common Shares on the applicable Exchange Date, the Parent Common Shares due upon exchange of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be delivered and Holders shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares of Parent Common Shares solely by virtue of holding the Preferred Stock.

    4.5 In exercising the voting rights set forth in Section 4.2, each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote.

    4.6 The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the Holders (including the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other procedural aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Company and applicable law.

    5. Liquidation Rights.

    5.1 In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each share of Preferred Stock, and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to holders of shares of Senior Stock, if any, in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends, and (ii) the sum of (A) the product of the Exchange Rate multiplied by the Market Value as of the effective date of such liquidation, winding up or dissolution  plus (B) the Accumulated Cash Dividends thereon.

    5.2 In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Parent, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of such shares of Preferred Stock, and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends thereon and (ii) the amount such Holder would have received had such Holder, immediately prior to such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Parent, exchanged such Preferred Stock for Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 6.1.  Such payment shall be made regardless of whether there is a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company. 

    5.3 Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Company (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding up or dissolution of its business), nor the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 5.

    
        43

    

    

    5.4 After the payment in full to the Holders of the amounts provided for in this Section 5, the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company in respect of their ownership of such Preferred Stock.

    5.5 In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to the Holders upon any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5.1 and 5.2, no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of Parity Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Preferred Stock, equally and ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which Holders of all Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

    6. Exchange.

    6.1 The Holders shall have the right (the "Holder Exchange Right"), subject to the Exchange Cap and the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, to exchange their shares of Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference then in effect divided by (ii) the Exchange Price then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 10 (such quotient, the "Exchange Rate").  To exchange shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Parent Common Shares pursuant to this Section 6.1, such Holder shall give written notice (the "Optional Exchange Notice") to the Company, signed by such Holder or its duly authorized attorney or agent, stating that such Holder elects to so exchange shares of Preferred Stock and shall state therein: (A) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged, (B) a representation by such Holder that the exchange of such number of shares will not cause such Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, if applicable, (C) the name or names in which such Holder wishes the Parent Common Shares to be delivered, (D) the Holder's computation of the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be received by such Holder, (E) the exchange date (the "Optional Exchange Date"), being a Business Day not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days after the date upon which the Optional Exchange Notice is received by the Company (the "Optional Exchange Notice Date"), (F) the Exchange Price on the Optional Exchange Date, (G) the Securities Representations, (H) in the case of the Engaged Capital Investors, shall include a certification of the Holder that the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX, and (I) in the case of the Engaged Capital Investors, shall include a reply certification to be made by a senior officer of the Parent that the Parent has made reasonable inquiries to verify that, and to the best of the Parent's knowledge it is accurate that, the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX. If no Optional Exchange Date is specified in the Optional Exchange Notice, the Optional Exchange Date shall be deemed to be the fifth Business Day after the Optional Exchange Notice Date.  If a Holder validly delivers the Optional Exchange Notice in accordance with this Section 6.1, the Company shall deliver the shares of Parent Common Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five (5) Business Days after the Optional Exchange Date; and in the case of an exchange by the Engaged Capital Investors, a senior officer of the Parent shall certify that the Parent has made reasonable inquiries to verify that, and to the best of the Parent's knowledge it is accurate that, the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any shares of Preferred Stock subject to the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, the Optional Exchange Date may be no sooner than sixty-one days following the Optional Exchange Notice Date and no shares of Parent Common Shares will be delivered in respect of such Preferred Stock at any time prior to sixty-one days following the Optional Exchange Notice Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Engaged Capital Investors may not deliver an Optional Exchange Notice under this Section 6.1, and the Company shall not deliver Parent Common Shares to the Engaged Capital Investors under this Section 6.1, prior to such date on which the TSX has confirmed to the Parent, the Company and the Engaged Capital Investors that the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX. 

    
        44

    

    

    6.2 To the extent of any shares of Preferred Stock that could be exchanged for Parent Common Shares pursuant to a Holder Exchange Right where, as a result, such Holder would be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of in excess of 19.99% of the number of Parent Common Shares or any other shares in the capital stock of the Parent entitled to vote generally for the election of directors ("Voting Shares") outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exchange under the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan (such limit, the "Rights Plan Exchange Cap"), the Holder may not become the Beneficial Owner of such Parent Common Shares until the lapse of sixty-one days following the date of the exercise of a Holder Exchange Right for such shares of Preferred Stock.  For the purposes of this Section 6.2, the determination of percentage ownership of Voting Shares Beneficially Owned by any Holder shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Shareholder Rights Plan.

    6.3 The Company shall have the right to cause all but not less than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, except those shares of Preferred Stock subject to the Exchange Cap and the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, to be exchanged into that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Exchange Rate then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 10; provided, however that in order for the Company to exercise such right, either (i) on or after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Average VWAP per share of the Parent Common Shares during a 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Forced Exchange Notice Date shall be greater than 200% of the Exchange Price then in effect or (ii) fewer than 10% of the shares of Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date remain outstanding.  To exchange shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Parent Common Shares pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Company shall give not less than thirty (30) days' written notice (the "Forced Exchange Notice" and the date of such notice, the "Forced Exchange Notice Date") to each Holder stating that the Company elects to force exchange of such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6.3 and shall state therein (A) the exchange date (the "Forced Exchange Date" ), (B) the number of such Holder's shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged, if known, (C) the Exchange Price on the Forced Exchange Date, (D) the Company's computation of the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be received by the Holder, (E) the basis of such forced exchange (being (i) or (ii) above), (F) the surrender locations specified in Section 6.4 and (G) in the case of the Engaged Capital Investors, shall include a certification to be made by a senior officer of the Parent that the Parent has made reasonable inquiries to verify that, and to the best of the Parent's knowledge it is accurate that, the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX.  Each Holder shall deliver to the Company written notice of the number Parent Common Shares held by such Holder for the purpose of the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap and the Rights Plan Exchange Cap within three Business Days of the Forced Exchange Notice, and again upon each change in such number of shares preceding the Forced Exchange Date, and in the case of the Engaged Capital Investors, such first notice shall include a certification of the Holder that the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX. If the Company validly delivers a Forced Exchange Notice to a Holder in accordance with this Section 6.3, the Company shall deliver the shares of Parent Common Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ten Business Days after the Forced Exchange Date, and in the case of an exchange with respect to the Engaged Capital Investors, a senior officer of the Parent shall certify that the Parent has made reasonable inquiries to verify that, and to the best of the Parent's knowledge it is accurate that, the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, a Holder may exercise an Optional Parent Put Right after receipt of a Forced Exchange Notice, provided the Optional Parent Put Exchange Date precedes the Forced Exchange Date by at least five Business Days.  Upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to such Optional Parent Put Right, such Forced Exchange Notice shall be rendered void in respect of such shares. The Company may not exercise its rights under this Section 6.3 unless the Parent Common Shares delivered to the Holders under this Section 6.3 are freely tradable by the Holders under the OSA, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  In the event the Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap prevents the issuance of all or any part of the Parent Common Shares otherwise required to be delivered to a Holder pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Company shall delay delivery of such Parent Common Shares until the Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, as applicable, no longer prevents such delivery, provided that if after 90 days the Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, as applicable, still prevents such deliver, the Company shall cause such shares to be sold to a third party and deliver the proceeds of such sale to the applicable Holder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not deliver a Forced Exchange Notice under this Section 6.3 to the Engaged Capital Investors, and the Company shall not deliver Parent Common Shares to the Engaged Capital Investors under this Section 6.3, prior to such date on which the TSX has confirmed to the Parent, the Company and the Engaged Capital Investors that the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX. 

    
        45

    

    

    6.4 Upon exchange, each Holder shall surrender to the Company the certificates representing any shares of Preferred Stock held in certificated form to be exchanged during usual business hours at its principal place of business or the offices of its duly appointed Transfer Agent maintained by it, accompanied by (i) (if so required by the Company or its duly appointed Transfer Agent) a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or its duly appointed Transfer Agent duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized legal representative and (ii) transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to Section 6.10.

    
        46

    

    

    6.5 Except to the extent that a Holder is not able to exchange its shares of Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares as a result of the Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, on the applicable Exchange Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares of Preferred Stock so exchanged and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock so exchanged, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the number of whole Parent Common Shares into which such shares of Preferred Stock have been exchanged (with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 10).  As promptly as practical after the exchange of any shares of Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Holder an ownership notice identifying the number of full shares of Parent Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled, a cash payment in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 10 and a cash payment in respect of the Accumulated Cash Dividends in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock exchanged.  If less than all the shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate or certificates surrendered by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.4 are to be exchanged, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate representing the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate or certificates that are not to be exchanged.

    6.6 The Exchange Price shall be subject to the following adjustments (except as provided in Section 6.7):

    6.6.1. If the Parent pays a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Parent Common Shares to holders of the Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the record date for such dividend (or distribution) shall be divided by the following fraction:

    


    where

    OS0 = the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution; and

    OS1 = the sum of (A) the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution and (B) the total number of Parent Common Shares constituting such dividend.

    6.6.2. If the Parent issues to holders of Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Parent Common Shares at less than the Market Value determined on the Ex-Date for such issuance, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the close of business on the Ex-Date for such issuance shall be divided by the following fraction:

    
        47

    

    

    

    where

    OS0 = the number of shares of Parent Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the record date for such issuance;

    X = the total number of shares of Parent Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

    Y = the number of shares of Parent Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Market Value determined as of the Ex-Date for such issuance.

    To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or Parent Common Shares are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to such Exchange Price that would have then been in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Parent Common Shares actually delivered.  If such rights, options or warrants are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Exchange Price shall not be adjusted until such triggering events occur.  In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Parent Common Shares, the exchange agent shall take into account any consideration received for such rights, options or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors).

    6.6.3. If the Parent subdivides, combines or reclassifies the shares of Parent Common Shares into a greater or lesser number of shares of Parent Common Shares, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be divided by the following fraction:

    

    where

    OS0 = the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

    OS1 = the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification.

    6.6.4. Except for any Excluded Issuances, if the Parent issues any Parent Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares for a consideration per share that is less than the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

    
        48

    

    

    

    where

    EP2 = new Exchange Price after giving effect to issuance of additional Parent Common Shares or securities exchangeable or convertible into Parent Common Shares ("New Issue");

    EP1 = Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the New Issue;

    OS0 = number of Parent Common Shares deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to the New Issue on a fully diluted basis, including on the conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities;

    X = aggregate consideration received by the Parent with respect to the New Issue divided by EP1; and

    Y = number of Parent Common Shares issued, or issuable on exchange or conversion, in the New Issue;

    provided that no such adjustment to the Exchange Price shall cause the Exchange Price to be adjusted below the Exchange Price Floor.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event such adjustment would cause the Exchange Price to be lower than the Exchange Price Floor but for the immediately preceding proviso, then the Exchange Price shall be equal to the Exchange Price Floor.

    6.6.5. In the case of: (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Parent Common Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), (B) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Parent, (C) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or (D) any statutory share exchange, as a result of which the Parent Common Shares are converted into, or exchanged for, shares, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such transaction or event, a "Capital Reorganization"), then, at and after the effective time of such Capital Reorganization, the right to exchange each share of Preferred Stock shall be changed into a right to exchange such share into the kind and amount of shares, other securities or other property or assets (or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Capital Reorganization (such shares, securities or other property or assets, the "Reference Property").  If the Capital Reorganization causes the Parent Common Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Preferred Stock will be exchangeable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Parent Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election. The Parent shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Preferred Stock to exchange its Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 6.1 prior to the effective time of such Capital Reorganization.  Notwithstanding Sections 6.6.1 to 6.6.4, no adjustment to the Exchange Price shall be made for any Capital Reorganization to the extent shares, securities or other property or assets become the Reference Property receivable upon exchange of Preferred Stock.

    
        49

    

    

    6.6.6. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 6.6 need be made to the Exchange Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01.  Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 of the Exchange Price.

    6.6.7. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 6.6, rights or warrants distributed by the Parent to holders of Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Parent's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Parent Common Shares; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Parent Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 6.6 (and no adjustment to the Exchange Price under this Section 6.6 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exchange Price shall be made under Section 6.6.2.  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to an Exchange Price under this Section 6.6 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, such Exchange Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Parent Common Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Parent Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise thereof, such Exchange Price shall be readjusted as if such expired or terminated rights and warrants had not been issued.  To the extent that the Parent has a rights plan or agreement in effect upon exchange of the Preferred Stock, which rights plan provides for rights or warrants of the type described in this clause, then upon exchange of Preferred Stock the Holder will receive, in addition to the Parent Common Shares to which he is entitled, a corresponding number of rights in accordance with the rights plan, unless a Trigger Event has occurred and the adjustments to the Exchange Price with respect thereto have been made in accordance with the foregoing.  In lieu of any such adjustment, the Parent may amend such applicable stockholder rights plan or agreement to provide that upon exchange of the Preferred Stock the Holders will receive, in addition to the Parent Common Shares issuable upon such exchange, the rights that would have attached to such Parent Common Shares if the Trigger Event had not occurred under such applicable stockholder rights plan or agreement.

    
        50

    

    

    6.6.8. The Company reserves the right to make such reductions in the Exchange Price in addition to those required in the foregoing provisions as it considers advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the recipients.  In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Exchange Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Exchange Price.

    6.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.6, if the Holders are (i) entitled to participate in a distribution or transaction to which Section 6.6.2 applies as if they held a number of shares of Parent Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Preferred Stock immediately prior to such event, without having to exchange their shares of Preferred Stock, or (ii) entitled to participate in a distribution or transaction to which Section 6.6.4 applies in proportion to their holdings of Parent Common Shares on an as exchanged basis, then for purposes of determining the Exchange Price pursuant to Section 6.6.2 or Section 6.6.4 both the number of Parent Common Shares issued or issuable in such transaction or distribution and the aggregate price or consideration received by the Company shall be reduced by multiplying such number, price or consideration by a fraction equal to (A) the aggregate amount of consideration paid by those Holders of Preferred Stock who actually elect to exercise any rights, options, or warrants, distributed to them in such distribution or transaction or to purchase Parent Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares, divided by (B) the aggregate consideration that would have been paid by all Holders of Preferred Stock if such Holders had elected to fully participate in such distribution or transaction.

    6.8 If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Parent Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to stockholders) abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in any Exchange Price then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

    6.9 Upon any increase or decrease in the Exchange Price, then, and in each such case, the Company promptly shall deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an Officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Exchange Price then in effect following such adjustment.

    6.10 The delivery of certificates for Parent Common Shares upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock and the delivery of any Ownership Notice, whether at the request of a Holder or upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock, shall each be made without charge to the Holder or recipient of shares of Preferred Stock for such certificates or Ownership Notice or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby or such Ownership Notice or the securities identified therein, and such certificates or Ownership Notice shall be delivered in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the applicable Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of the relevant Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to deliver any such certificate or Ownership Notice unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the delivery thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

    6.11 Exchange Caps

    6.11.1. No shares of Preferred Stock may be exchanged pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 if and to the extent that, as a result of the delivery to the Holder of Parent Common Shares upon such exchange such Holder would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exchange (such limit, the "Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap").  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Parent Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder shall include, in addition to Common Shares beneficially owned, the number of Parent Common Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Parent Common Shares which would be deliverable upon (i) exchange of the remaining, unexchanged portion of the Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and (ii) exercise, conversion or exchange of the unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged portion of any other securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder (including, without limitation, any exchangeable notes or exchangeable preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion, exercise or exchange analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6.11.1, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 (without giving any effect to paragraph (b) of Rule 13d-3) and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.  Any purported delivery of Parent Common Shares upon exchange of Preferred Stock shall be void and have no effect if such delivery would result in the applicable Holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap.

    6.11.2. No shares of Preferred Stock may be exchanged pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 if and to the extent that, as a result of the delivery to the Holder of Parent Common Shares upon such exchange such Holder would become the Beneficial Owner of the number of Voting Shares in excess of the Rights Plan Exchange Cap.

    6.11.3. If the number of Parent Common Shares into which shares of Preferred Stock have been exchanged in accordance with both the Certificate of Incorporation and any Optional Parent Put Right (the "Issued Amount") exceed the Make Whole Issuable Maximum, then the Change of Control Redemption Premium shall thereafter be zero dollars ($0.00). 

    6.11.4. If any shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed pursuant to Section 8.2 at a Change of Control Redemption Price in which the Change of Control Redemption Premium is greater than zero dollars ($0.00), in the event that any shares of Preferred Stock are subsequently exchanged into Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.3, the number of Parent Common Shares into which such shares of Preferred Stock may be exchanged shall not exceed the amount equal to (i) the Make Whole Issuable Maximum less (ii) the Issued Amount (such limit, the "Post CoC Exchange Cap", together with the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap, the "Exchange Cap"). 

    
        52

    

    

    6.12 Any shares of Parent Common Shares delivered pursuant to this Section 6 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by matters of any provincial, state or federal law), free and clear of any liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under by law or the Certificate of Incorporation or created by the Holders thereof.

    7. Redemption.

    7.1 On or after the first Business Day that is five years after the Issue Date, the Company shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to redeem all but not less than all shares of Preferred Stock from any source of funds legally available for such purpose.  Any redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of the Senior Debt Agreements and any other agreements governing the Company's and the Parent's future or existing outstanding indebtedness.  Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the Company on not less than thirty (30) days' notice to the Holders (the "Optional Redemption Date").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1, a Holder may exercise an Optional Parent Put Right after receipt of an Optional Redemption Notice, provided the Optional Parent Put Exchange Date precedes the Optional Redemption Date by at least three (3) Business Days.  Upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to such Optional Parent Put Right, such Optional Redemption Notice shall be rendered void in respect of such shares.

    7.2 Subject to applicable law, the Company shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 7 by paying cash for each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed in an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Accrued Dividends added to the Liquidation Preference in accordance with Section 3.6.1) plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends (if any) (such amount, the "Optional Redemption Price"). 

    7.3 The Company shall give notice of its election to redeem the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 to the Holders of Preferred Stock as such Holders' names appear (as of the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) on the books of the Transfer Agent at the address of such Holders shown therein.  Such notice (the "Optional Redemption Notice") shall state: (i) the Optional Redemption Date, (ii) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such Holder, (iii) the Optional Redemption Price, and (iv) the place where any shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Optional Redemption Price therefor.

    7.4 If the Company gives the Optional Redemption Notice, the Company shall deposit with or otherwise make available to the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Preferred Stock, no later than the open of business on the Optional Redemption Date, and the Company shall give the Paying Agent instructions and authority to pay the Optional Redemption Price to the Holders to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Optional Redemption Notice.  If the Optional Redemption Notice shall have been given, then from and after the Optional Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Optional Redemption Notice, all dividends on such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the Optional Redemption Price.  The Company shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on any such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Optional Redemption Price of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed), and the holders of any shares of Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income.  Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Company for any reason, including redemption of shares of Preferred Stock, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the Optional Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, repaid to the Company upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Company.

    
        53

    

    

    8. Change of Control.

    8.1 In the event of a Change of Control, or other merger, amalgamation, consolidation or similar transaction in which all or any material portion of the consideration to be paid to the holders of the Parent Common Shares is equity in the surviving or successor entity, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to structure the transaction so the Holders have the option to exchange their outstanding shares of Preferred Stock upon such Change of Control, for securities in the surviving or successor entity that have the same rights, preferences and privileges as the Preferred Stock, as appropriately adjusted to account for the Change of Control or other merger, amalgamation, consolidation or similar transaction.

    8.2 The Company shall give notice to the Holders of a Change of Control no later than ten Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date (as determined in good faith by the Company) of such Change of Control or, if not practicable, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than five Business Days after the Company becomes aware of such Change of Control.  In the event of a Change of Control, the Company or a third party with the prior written consent of the Company (such party, as applicable, the "Redeeming Party") shall, in compliance with applicable law and within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of a Change of Control, make an offer to each Holder to redeem all of such Holder's outstanding Preferred Stock.  Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the Redeeming Party in its sole discretion, but no later than thirty (30) days after consummation of the Change of Control (the "Change of Control Redemption Date").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Change of Control Redemption Date may be on the date of the Change of Control, and any redemption pursuant to this Section 8 may be made simultaneously with the Change of Control.  Holders acknowledge and agree that under the terms of the Senior Debt Agreements (as such senior debt agreement may be amended, restated, refinanced, replaced, converted, exchanged or otherwise modified from time to time) and any other debt instruments of the Company or the Parent that restrict, limit or condition the ability of the Company to redeem stock and for so long as such restrictive terms continue or have not been waived by the applicable lenders or holders thereunder, upon any redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8, the loans and other debt obligations that are accrued and payable under any such credit agreements or debt instruments will, in each case, to the extent required to be repaid prior to such redemption of the Preferred Stock, be repaid (and any commitments and any outstanding letters of credit thereunder will be terminated) prior to such redemption of the Preferred Stock and the restrictions on the redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock and the obligations of the Company under the Second Lien Indenture will apply, including, without limitation, any Change of Control Offer (as defined in the Second Lien Indenture) required by the terms of the Second Lien Indenture.  For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be deemed to be a waiver by any Holder of its right to receive from the Company and/or its successor the cash associated with such redemption.

    
        54

    

    

    8.3 Subject to applicable law, the Redeeming Party shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 8 by paying cash for each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed in an amount (such amount, the "Change of Control Redemption Price") equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Liquidation Preference as at the Change of Control Redemption Date plus the Change of Control Redemption Premium plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends as at the Change of Control Redemption Date, and (ii) either (A) in the case of a Change of Control that constitutes a Capital Reorganization in which the Parent Common Shares are not converted or exchanged solely for cash, the cash amount equal to the product of the Exchange Rate as at the Change of Control Redemption Date multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of the Parent Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such Capital Reorganization or, (B) in any other case, the cash amount that a holder of a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Exchange Rate as at the Change of Control Redemption Date would have received in such Change of Control.

    8.4 The Redeeming Party shall give notice of such redemption offer to the Holders as such Holders' names appear (as of the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) on the books of the Transfer Agent at the address of such Holders shown therein.  Such notice (the "Change of Control Redemption Notice") shall state: (i) the Change of Control Redemption Date, (ii) the Change of Control Redemption Price and (iii) the place where any shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price therefor. 

    8.5 If the Redeeming Party gives a Change of Control Redemption Notice, the Redeeming Party shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Preferred Stock as to which such Change of Control Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than the open of business on the Change of Control Redemption Date, and the Redeeming Party shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holders to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Change of Control Redemption Notice.

    9. Events of Noncompliance.

    9.1 If an Event of Noncompliance has occurred and is continuing, the Dividend Rate shall increase immediately by an increment of 1 percentage point. Thereafter, until such time as no Event of Noncompliance exists, the Dividend Rate shall increase automatically at the end of each succeeding 90-day period by an additional increment of 1 percentage point(s) (but in no event shall the Dividend Rate increase more than 5 percentage points hereby). Any increase of the Dividend Rate resulting from the operation of this subparagraph shall terminate as of the close of business on the date on which no Event of Noncompliance exists, subject to subsequent increases pursuant to this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dividend Rate will only be subject to an increase as contemplated by this Section 9.1 if the Parent or Company, as applicable, fails to cure such Event of Noncompliance within thirty (30) days of (i) in the case of an Event of Noncompliance arising from clause (c) of the definition thereof, the first date on which the Parent or Company acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of such event or receives written notice from Holders representing a majority of the Preferred Stock outstanding of such occurrence, or (ii) in all other cases, the date of occurrence of the Event of Noncompliance.

    
        55

    

    

    9.2 If any Event of Noncompliance exists, each Holder shall also have any other rights which such Holder is entitled to under any contract or agreement at any time and any other rights which such holder may have pursuant to applicable law.

    10. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Shares or securities representing fractional shares of Parent Common Shares shall be delivered upon exchange, whether voluntary or mandatory, or in respect of dividend payments made in Parent Common Shares on the Preferred Stock.  Instead, the Company may elect to either make a cash payment to each Holder that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share (based on the Closing Sale Price of such fractional share determined as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the payment thereof) or, in lieu of such cash payment, round up to the next whole share the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be delivered to any particular Holder upon exchange.

    11. Uncertificated Shares; Certificated Shares.

    11.1 Uncertificated Shares.

    11.1.1. Form. The shares of Preferred Stock may be in uncertificated, book entry form as permitted by the bylaws of the Company and applicable law.  Within a reasonable time after the delivery or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Company shall send to the registered owner thereof an Ownership Notice.

    11.1.2. Transfer. Transfers of Preferred Stock held in uncertificated, book-entry form shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Company kept at an office of the Transfer Agent upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the stock.  The Company may refuse any requested transfer until furnished evidence satisfactory to it that such transfer is proper.

    11.1.3. Legends.

    (A) Each Ownership Notice issued with respect to a share of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the form included in Exhibit D hereto.

    (B) Each Ownership Notice delivered with respect to a Parent Common Share delivered upon the exchange of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend substantially in the form:

    "THE SECURITIES IDENTIFIED HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION."

    
        56

    

    

    11.2 Certificated Shares.

    11.2.1. Form and Dating. Unless requested in writing by a Holder to the Company, Preferred Stock shall be in certificated form ("Certificated Preferred Stock"), and the Preferred Stock certificate and the Transfer Agent's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit D, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of the Certificate of Incorporation.  The Preferred Stock certificate may have notations, legends or endorsements required by applicable law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage; provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company.  Each Preferred Stock certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

    11.2.2. Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign each Preferred Stock certificate for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

    If an Officer whose signature is on a Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent authenticates the Preferred Stock certificate, the Preferred Stock certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

    A Preferred Stock certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually or by facsimile signs the certificate of authentication on the Preferred Stock certificate.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Stock certificate has been authenticated under the Certificate of Incorporation.

    The Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver certificates for shares of Preferred Stock for original issue upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Company.  Such order shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of the Preferred Stock is to be authenticated.

    The Transfer Agent may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the certificates for the Preferred Stock.  Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate certificates for the Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent may do so.  Each reference in the Certificate of Incorporation to authentication by the Transfer Agent includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Transfer Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

    11.2.3. Transfer and Exchange. When Certificated Preferred Stock is presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer of such Certificated Preferred Stock or to exchange such Certificated Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Certificated Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Preferred Stock surrendered for transfer or exchange:

    
        57

    

    

    (A) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

    (B) is being transferred or exchanged pursuant to subclause (I) or (II) below, and is accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

    (I) if such Certificated Preferred Stock is being delivered to the Transfer Agent by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto; or

    (II) if such Certificated Preferred Stock is being transferred to the Company or to a "qualified institutional buyer" in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 11.2.4.

    11.2.4. Legends.

    (A) Each certificate evidencing Certificated Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form included in Exhibit D hereto.

    (B) Each certificate evidencing Parent Common Shares delivered upon the exchange of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

    "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAYBE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION."

    (C) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security held in certificated form pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Transfer Agent shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for Certificated Preferred Stock or certificated Parent Common Shares that does not bear a restrictive legend and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security.

    11.2.5. Replacement Certificates. If any of the Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent amount of shares of Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent.

    
        58

    

    

    11.2.6. Cancellation. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Certificated Preferred Stock, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation.  The Transfer Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Preferred Stock certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Transfer Agent to deliver canceled Preferred Stock certificates to the Company.  The Company may not issue new Preferred Stock certificates to replace Preferred Stock certificates to the extent they evidence Preferred Stock which the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired.

    11.3 Certain Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Preferred Stock.

    11.3.1. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate Certificated Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.

    11.3.2. All shares of Preferred Stock, whether or not Certificated Preferred Stock, issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of such shares of Preferred Stock shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under the Certificate of Incorporation as the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

    11.3.3. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any shares of Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name such shares of Preferred Stock are registered as the absolute owner of such Preferred Stock and neither the Transfer Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

    11.3.4. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Preferred Stock or Parent Common Shares delivered upon the exchange thereof on the transfer books of the Company or the Transfer Agent or upon surrender of any Preferred Stock certificate or Parent Common Shares certificate at the office of the Transfer Agent maintained for that purpose.  However, the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Stock or Parent Common Shares if the Person receiving shares in connection with such transfer or exchange is not the holder thereof.

    11.3.5. No Obligation of the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Certificate of Incorporation or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Preferred Stock other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

    
        59

    

    

    12. Miscellaneous.

    12.1 With respect to any notice to a Holder required to be provided hereunder, neither failure to mail such notice, nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other Holders or affect the legality or validity of any vote upon any such action (assuming due and proper notice to such other Holders).  Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

    12.2 Shares of Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired by the Company in any manner, including shares of Preferred Stock purchased or redeemed or exchanged or converted, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of Delaware) upon such reacquisition be automatically cancelled by the Company and shall not be reissued.

    12.3 The shares of Preferred Stock shall be issuable only in whole shares.

Notice to any Holder shall be given to the registered address set forth in the Company's records for such Holder.

    12.5 Any payments required to be made hereunder on any day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without interest or additional payment for such delay.  All payments required hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in United States Dollars to the Holders in accordance with the payment instructions as such Holders may deliver by written notice to the Company from time to time.

    12.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, whenever the Board of Directors is permitted or required to determine fair market value, such determination shall be made in good faith.

    12.7 Except as set forth in Section 4.2.2 and in the Engaged Capital Investor Rights Agreement and the Oaktree Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, the Holders shall have no preemptive or preferential rights to purchase or subscribe to any stock, obligations, warrants or other securities of the Company of any class.

    3.6.1. in respect of a fiscal quarter ending prior to the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the date of redemption with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be Accumulated PIK Dividends and shall be added to the Liquidation Preference for purposes of such redemption;

    3.6.2. in respect of a fiscal quarter ending after the Dividend Change Date, the Accrued Dividends on the date of redemption with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock shall be paid in cash on or prior to the such Dividend Payment Date.

    For the avoidance of doubt, such Accrued Dividends shall include dividends accruing from the last day of the most recently preceding fiscal quarter to, but not including, the Optional Redemption Date or the Change of Control Redemption Date, as applicable.  The Holders at the close of business on a Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to receive any dividend paid as a Cash Dividend on those shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

    4. Voting and Protective Provisions.

    4.1 Holders shall not have any rights to notice of, to attend at or to vote at any meetings of the shareholders of the Company except as set forth in this Section 4 or as otherwise from time to time specifically required by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation.

    4.2 So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders representing at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, voting together as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating the actions set forth below, whether by amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, by merger, consolidation or otherwise:

    
        72

    

    

    4.2.1. any issuance, authorization or creation of, or any increase by the Company in the issued or authorized amount of, any specific class or series of Parity Stock or Senior Stock;

    4.2.2. any increase in the number of issued or authorized amount of Preferred Stock, or any reissuance thereof;

    4.2.3. any exchange, reclassification or cancellation of the Preferred Stock, other than as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation including Section 6; or

    4.2.4. any amendment, modification or alteration of, or supplement to, the Certificate of Incorporation that would materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder.

    4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, without the consent of the Holders, the Company, acting in good faith, may amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Preferred Stock by amending or supplementing the Certificate of Incorporation or any stock certificate representing shares of the Preferred Stock:

    4.3.1. to cure any ambiguity, omission, inconsistency or mistake in any such instrument in a manner that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder;

    4.3.2. to make any provision with respect to matters or questions relating to the Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder; or

    4.3.3. to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Preferred Stock or any Holder (other than any Holder that consents to such change).

    4.4 Prior to the actual delivery of such Parent Common Shares on the applicable Exchange Date, the Parent Common Shares due upon exchange of the Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to be delivered and Holders shall have no voting rights with respect to such shares of Parent Common Shares solely by virtue of holding the Preferred Stock.

    4.5 In exercising the voting rights set forth in Section 4.2, each share of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote.

    4.6 The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the Holders (including the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other procedural aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, the bylaws of the Company and applicable law.

    
        73

    

    

    5. Liquidation Rights.

    5.1 In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each share of Preferred Stock, and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, after satisfaction of liabilities to holders of shares of Senior Stock, if any, in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends, and (ii) the sum of (A) the product of the Exchange Rate multiplied by the Market Value as of the effective date of such liquidation, winding up or dissolution  plus (B) the Accumulated Cash Dividends thereon.

    5.2 In the event of any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Parent, whether voluntary or involuntary, each Holder shall be entitled to receive, in respect of such shares of Preferred Stock, and to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, in preference to the holders of, and before any payment or distribution is made on, any Junior Stock, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends thereon and (ii) the amount such Holder would have received had such Holder, immediately prior to such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Parent, exchanged such Preferred Stock for Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 6.1.  Such payment shall be made regardless of whether there is a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company. 

    5.3 Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all the assets or business of the Company (other than in connection with the liquidation, winding up or dissolution of its business), nor the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other Person shall be deemed to be a liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 5.

    5.4 After the payment in full to the Holders of the amounts provided for in this Section 5, the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Company in respect of their ownership of such Preferred Stock.

    5.5 In the event the assets of the Company available for distribution to the Holders upon any liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5.1 and 5.2, no such distribution shall be made on account of any shares of Parity Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up unless proportionate distributable amounts shall be paid on account of the shares of Preferred Stock, equally and ratably, in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which Holders of all Preferred Stock and of any Parity Stock are entitled upon such liquidation, winding-up or dissolution.

    6. Exchange.

    6.1 The Holders shall have the right (the "Holder Exchange Right"), subject to the Exchange Cap and the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, to exchange their shares of Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the Liquidation Preference then in effect divided by (ii) the Exchange Price then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 10 (such quotient, the "Exchange Rate").  To exchange shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Parent Common Shares pursuant to this Section 6.1, such Holder shall give written notice (the "Optional Exchange Notice") to the Company, signed by such Holder or its duly authorized attorney or agent, stating that such Holder elects to so exchange shares of Preferred Stock and shall state therein: (A) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged, (B) a representation by such Holder that the exchange of such number of shares will not cause such Holder to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, if applicable, (C) the name or names in which such Holder wishes the Parent Common Shares to be delivered, (D) the Holder's computation of the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be received by such Holder, (E) the exchange date (the "Optional Exchange Date"), being a Business Day not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days after the date upon which the Optional Exchange Notice is received by the Company (the "Optional Exchange Notice Date"), (F) the Exchange Price on the Optional Exchange Date, (G) the Securities Representations, (H) in the case of the Engaged Capital Investors, shall include a certification of the Holder that the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX, and (I) in the case of the Engaged Capital Investors, shall include a reply certification to be made by a senior officer of the Parent that the Parent has made reasonable inquiries to verify that, and to the best of the Parent's knowledge it is accurate that, the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement has been cleared by the TSX. If no Optional Exchange Date is specified in the Optional Exchange Notice, the Optional Exchange Date shall be deemed to be the fifth Business Day after the Optional Exchange Notice Date.  If a Holder validly delivers the Optional Exchange Notice in accordance with this Section 6.1, the Company shall deliver the shares of Parent Common Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five (5) Business Days after the Optional Exchange Date, and in the case of an exchange by the Engaged Capital Investors, a senior officer of the Parent shall certify that the Parent has made reasonable inquiries to verify that, and to the best of the Parent's knowledge it is accurate that, the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any shares of Preferred Stock subject to the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, the Optional Exchange Date may be no sooner than sixty-one days following the Optional Exchange Notice Date and no shares of Parent Common Shares will be delivered in respect of such Preferred Stock at any time prior to sixty-one days following the Optional Exchange Notice Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Engaged Capital Investors may not deliver an Optional Exchange Notice under this Section 6.1, and the Company shall not deliver Parent Common Shares to the Engaged Capital Investors under this Section 6.1, prior to such date on which the TSX has confirmed to the Parent, the Company and the Engaged Capital Investors that the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX.

    
        74

    

    

    6.2 To the extent of any shares of Preferred Stock that could be exchanged for Parent Common Shares pursuant to a Holder Exchange Right where, as a result, such Holder would be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of in excess of 19.99% of the number of Parent Common Shares or any other shares in the capital stock of the Parent entitled to vote generally for the election of directors ("Voting Shares") outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exchange under the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan (such limit, the "Rights Plan Exchange Cap"), the Holder may not become the Beneficial Owner of such Parent Common Shares until the lapse of sixty-one days following the date of the exercise of a Holder Exchange Right for such shares of Preferred Stock.  For the purposes of this Section 6.2, the determination of percentage ownership of Voting Shares Beneficially Owned by any Holder shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Shareholder Rights Plan.

    
        75

    

    

    6.3 The Company shall have the right to cause all but not less than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, except those shares of Preferred Stock subject to the Exchange Cap and the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, to be exchanged into that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Exchange Rate then in effect, with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 10; provided, however that in order for the Company to exercise such right, either (i) on or after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Average VWAP per share of the Parent Common Shares during a 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Forced Exchange Notice Date shall be greater than 200% of the Exchange Price then in effect or (ii) fewer than 10% of the shares of Preferred Stock issued on the Issue Date remain outstanding.  To exchange shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Parent Common Shares pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Company shall give not less than thirty (30) days' written notice (the "Forced Exchange Notice" and the date of such notice, the "Forced Exchange Notice Date") to each Holder stating that the Company elects to force exchange of such shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 6.3 and shall state therein (A) the exchange date (the "Forced Exchange Date" ), (B) the number of such Holder's shares of Preferred Stock to be exchanged, if known, (C) the Exchange Price on the Forced Exchange Date, (D) the Company's computation of the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be received by the Holder, (E) the basis of such forced exchange (being (i) or (ii) above), (F) the surrender locations specified in Section 6.4 and (G) in the case of the Engaged Capital Investors, shall include a certification to be made by a senior officer of the Parent that the Parent has made reasonable inquiries to verify that, and to the best of the Parent's knowledge it is accurate that, the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX.  Each Holder shall deliver to the Company written notice of the number Parent Common Shares held by such Holder for the purpose of the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap and the Rights Plan Exchange Cap within three Business Days of the Forced Exchange Notice, and again upon each change in such number of shares preceding the Forced Exchange Date, and in the case of the Engaged Capital Investors, such first notice shall include a certification of the Holder that the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX. If the Company validly delivers a Forced Exchange Notice to a Holder in accordance with this Section 6.3, the Company shall deliver the shares of Parent Common Shares as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ten Business Days after the Forced Exchange Date, and in the case of an exchange with respect to the Engaged Capital Investors, a senior officer of the Parent shall certify that the Parent has made reasonable inquiries to verify that, and to the best of the Parent's knowledge it is accurate that, the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, a Holder may exercise an Optional Parent Put Right after receipt of a Forced Exchange Notice, provided the Optional Parent Put Exchange Date precedes the Forced Exchange Date by at least five Business Days.  Upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to such Optional Parent Put Right, such Forced Exchange Notice shall be rendered void in respect of such shares. The Company may not exercise its rights under this Section 6.3 unless the Parent Common Shares delivered to the Holders under this Section 6.3 are freely tradable by the Holders under the OSA, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.  In the event the Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap prevents the issuance of all or any part of the Parent Common Shares otherwise required to be delivered to a Holder pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Company shall delay delivery of such Parent Common Shares until the Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, as applicable, no longer prevents such delivery, provided that if after 90 days the Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, as applicable, still prevents such deliver, the Company shall cause such shares to be sold to a third party and deliver the proceeds of such sale to the applicable Holder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not deliver a Forced Exchange Notice under this Section 6.3 to the Engaged Capital Investors, and the Company shall not deliver Parent Common Shares to the Engaged Capital Investors under this Section 6.3, prior to such date on which the TSX has confirmed to the Parent, the Company and the Engaged Capital Investors that the PIFs required by the TSX to be filed by the Engaged Capital Investors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement have been cleared by the TSX.

    
        76

    

    

    6.4 Upon exchange, each Holder shall surrender to the Company the certificates representing any shares of Preferred Stock held in certificated form to be exchanged during usual business hours at its principal place of business or the offices of its duly appointed Transfer Agent maintained by it, accompanied by (i) (if so required by the Company or its duly appointed Transfer Agent) a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company or its duly appointed Transfer Agent duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized legal representative and (ii) transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if required pursuant to Section 6.10.

    6.5 Except to the extent that a Holder is not able to exchange its shares of Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares as a result of the Exchange Cap or the Rights Plan Exchange Cap, on the applicable Exchange Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the shares of Preferred Stock so exchanged and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock so exchanged, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the number of whole Parent Common Shares into which such shares of Preferred Stock have been exchanged (with such adjustment or cash payment for fractional shares as the Company may elect pursuant to Section 10).  As promptly as practical after the exchange of any shares of Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the applicable Holder an ownership notice identifying the number of full shares of Parent Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled, a cash payment in respect of fractional shares in accordance with Section 10 and a cash payment in respect of the Accumulated Cash Dividends in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock exchanged.  If less than all the shares of Preferred Stock represented by a certificate or certificates surrendered by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.4 are to be exchanged, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate representing the shares of Preferred Stock represented by the surrendered certificate or certificates that are not to be exchanged.

    
        77

    

    

    6.6 The Exchange Price shall be subject to the following adjustments (except as provided in Section 6.7):

    6.6.1. If the Parent pays a dividend (or other distribution) in shares of Parent Common Shares to holders of the Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the record date for such dividend (or distribution) shall be divided by the following fraction:

    

    where

    OS0 = the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution; and

    OS1 = the sum of (A) the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution and (B) the total number of Parent Common Shares constituting such dividend.

    6.6.2. If the Parent issues to holders of Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Parent Common Shares at less than the Market Value determined on the Ex-Date for such issuance, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the close of business on the Ex-Date for such issuance shall be divided by the following fraction:

    

    where

    OS0 = the number of shares of Parent Common Shares outstanding at the close of business on the record date for such issuance;

    X = the total number of shares of Parent Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

    Y = the number of shares of Parent Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the Market Value determined as of the Ex-Date for such issuance.

    To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or Parent Common Shares are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Exchange Price shall be readjusted to such Exchange Price that would have then been in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Parent Common Shares actually delivered.  If such rights, options or warrants are only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the Exchange Price shall not be adjusted until such triggering events occur.  In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Parent Common Shares, the exchange agent shall take into account any consideration received for such rights, options or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors).

    
        78

    

    

    6.6.3. If the Parent subdivides, combines or reclassifies the shares of Parent Common Shares into a greater or lesser number of shares of Parent Common Shares, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately following the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be divided by the following fraction:

    

    where

    OS0 = the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification; and

    OS1 = the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, combination or reclassification.

    6.6.4. Except for any Excluded Issuances, if the Parent issues any Parent Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares for a consideration per share that is less than the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance, then the Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance shall be adjusted in accordance with the following formula:

    

    where

    EP2 = new Exchange Price after giving effect to issuance of additional Parent Common Shares or securities exchangeable or convertible into Parent Common Shares ("New Issue");

    EP1 = Exchange Price in effect immediately prior to the New Issue;

    OS0 = number of Parent Common Shares deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to the New Issue on a fully diluted basis, including on the conversion, exercise or exchange of any convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities;

    X = aggregate consideration received by the Parent with respect to the New Issue divided by EP1; and

    
        79

    

    

    Y = number of Parent Common Shares issued, or issuable on exchange or conversion, in the New Issue;

    provided that no such adjustment to the Exchange Price shall cause the Exchange Price to be adjusted below the Exchange Price Floor.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event such adjustment would cause the Exchange Price to be lower than the Exchange Price Floor but for the immediately preceding proviso, then the Exchange Price shall be equal to the Exchange Price Floor.

    6.6.5. In the case of: (A) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Parent Common Shares (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination), (B) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Parent, (C) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or (D) any statutory share exchange, as a result of which the Parent Common Shares are converted into, or exchanged for, shares, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such transaction or event, a "Capital Reorganization"), then, at and after the effective time of such Capital Reorganization, the right to exchange each share of Preferred Stock shall be changed into a right to exchange such share into the kind and amount of shares, other securities or other property or assets (or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such Capital Reorganization would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Capital Reorganization (such shares, securities or other property or assets, the "Reference Property").  If the Capital Reorganization causes the Parent Common Shares to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then the Reference Property into which the Preferred Stock will be exchangeable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Parent Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election. The Parent shall notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Preferred Stock to exchange its Preferred Stock into Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 6.1 prior to the effective time of such Capital Reorganization.  Notwithstanding Sections 6.6.1 to 6.6.4, no adjustment to the Exchange Price shall be made for any Capital Reorganization to the extent shares, securities or other property or assets become the Reference Property receivable upon exchange of Preferred Stock.

    6.6.6. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 6.6 need be made to the Exchange Price unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.01.  Any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next subsequent adjustment, if any, which, together with any adjustment or adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease of at least $0.01 of the Exchange Price.

    6.6.7. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 6.6, rights or warrants distributed by the Parent to holders of Parent Common Shares, in their capacity as holders of Parent Common Shares, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Parent's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (A) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Parent Common Shares; (B) are not exercisable; and (C) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Parent Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 6.6 (and no adjustment to the Exchange Price under this Section 6.6 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exchange Price shall be made under Section 6.6.2.  In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to an Exchange Price under this Section 6.6 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, such Exchange Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Parent Common Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Parent Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise thereof, such Exchange Price shall be readjusted as if such expired or terminated rights and warrants had not been issued.  To the extent that the Parent has a rights plan or agreement in effect upon exchange of the Preferred Stock, which rights plan provides for rights or warrants of the type described in this clause, then upon exchange of Preferred Stock the Holder will receive, in addition to the Parent Common Shares to which he is entitled, a corresponding number of rights in accordance with the rights plan, unless a Trigger Event has occurred and the adjustments to the Exchange Price with respect thereto have been made in accordance with the foregoing.  In lieu of any such adjustment, the Parent may amend such applicable stockholder rights plan or agreement to provide that upon exchange of the Preferred Stock the Holders will receive, in addition to the Parent Common Shares issuable upon such exchange, the rights that would have attached to such Parent Common Shares if the Trigger Event had not occurred under such applicable stockholder rights plan or agreement.

    
        80

    

    

    6.6.8. The Company reserves the right to make such reductions in the Exchange Price in addition to those required in the foregoing provisions as it considers advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the recipients.  In the event the Company elects to make such a reduction in the Exchange Price, the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder if and to the extent that such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the reduction of the Exchange Price.

    6.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.6, if the Holders are (i) entitled to participate in a distribution or transaction to which Section 6.6.2 applies as if they held a number of shares of Parent Common Shares issuable upon exchange of the Preferred Stock immediately prior to such event, without having to exchange their shares of Preferred Stock, or (ii) entitled to participate in a distribution or transaction to which Section 6.6.4 applies in proportion to their holdings of Parent Common Shares on an as exchanged basis, then for purposes of determining the Exchange Price pursuant to Section 6.6.2 or Section 6.6.4 both the number of Parent Common Shares issued or issuable in such transaction or distribution and the aggregate price or consideration received by the Company shall be reduced by multiplying such number, price or consideration by a fraction equal to (A) the aggregate amount of consideration paid by those Holders of Preferred Stock who actually elect to exercise any rights, options, or warrants, distributed to them in such distribution or transaction or to purchase Parent Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares, divided by (B) the aggregate consideration that would have been paid by all Holders of Preferred Stock if such Holders had elected to fully participate in such distribution or transaction.

    
        81

    

    

    6.8 If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Parent Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, and shall thereafter (and before the dividend or distribution has been paid or delivered to stockholders) abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment in any Exchange Price then in effect shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

    6.9 Upon any increase or decrease in the Exchange Price, then, and in each such case, the Company promptly shall deliver to each Holder a certificate signed by an Officer, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated and specifying the increased or decreased Exchange Price then in effect following such adjustment.

    6.10 The delivery of certificates for Parent Common Shares upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock and the delivery of any Ownership Notice, whether at the request of a Holder or upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock, shall each be made without charge to the Holder or recipient of shares of Preferred Stock for such certificates or Ownership Notice or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby or such Ownership Notice or the securities identified therein, and such certificates or Ownership Notice shall be delivered in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the applicable Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the shares of the relevant Preferred Stock and the Company shall not be required to deliver any such certificate or Ownership Notice unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the delivery thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

    6.11 Exchange Caps

    6.11.1. No shares of Preferred Stock may be exchanged pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 if and to the extent that, as a result of the delivery to the Holder of Parent Common Shares upon such exchange such Holder would beneficially own in excess of 19.99% of the number of Parent Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exchange (such limit, the "Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap").  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Parent Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder shall include, in addition to Common Shares beneficially owned, the number of Parent Common Shares deliverable upon exchange of the Preferred Stock with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude Parent Common Shares which would be deliverable upon (i) exchange of the remaining, unexchanged portion of the Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and (ii) exercise, conversion or exchange of the unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged portion of any other securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable into Parent Common Shares beneficially owned by such Holder (including, without limitation, any exchangeable notes or exchangeable preferred stock or warrants) subject to a limitation on conversion, exercise or exchange analogous to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6.11.1, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 (without giving any effect to paragraph (b) of Rule 13d-3) and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.  Any purported delivery of Parent Common Shares upon exchange of Preferred Stock shall be void and have no effect if such delivery would result in the applicable Holder becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap.

    
        82

    

    

    6.11.2. No shares of Preferred Stock may be exchanged pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 if and to the extent that, as a result of the delivery to the Holder of Parent Common Shares upon such exchange such Holder would become the Beneficial Owner of the number of Voting Shares in excess of the Rights Plan Exchange Cap.

    6.11.3. If the number of Parent Common Shares into which shares of Preferred Stock have been exchanged in accordance with both the Certificate of Incorporation and any Optional Parent Put Right (the "Issued Amount") exceed the Make Whole Issuable Maximum, then the Change of Control Redemption Premium shall thereafter be zero dollars ($0.00). 

    6.11.4. If any shares of Preferred Stock are redeemed pursuant to Section 8.2 at a Change of Control Redemption Price in which the Change of Control Redemption Premium is greater than zero dollars ($0.00), in the event that any shares of Preferred Stock are subsequently exchanged into Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 6.1 or Section 6.3, the number of Parent Common Shares into which such shares of Preferred Stock may be exchanged shall not exceed the amount equal to (i) the Make Whole Issuable Maximum less (ii) the Issued Amount (such limit, the "Post CoC Exchange Cap", together with the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap, the "Exchange Cap").

    6.12 Any shares of Parent Common Shares delivered pursuant to this Section 6 shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except as such non-assessability may be affected by matters of any provincial, state or federal law), free and clear of any liens, claims, rights or encumbrances other than those arising under by law or the Certificate of Incorporation or created by the Holders thereof.

    7. Redemption.

    7.1 On or after the first Business Day that is five years after the Issue Date, the Company shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to redeem all but not less than all shares of Preferred Stock from any source of funds legally available for such purpose.  Any redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of the Senior Debt Agreements and any other agreements governing the Company's and the Parent's future or existing outstanding indebtedness.  Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the Company on not less than thirty (30) days' notice to the Holders (the "Optional Redemption Date").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1, a Holder may exercise an Optional Parent Put Right after receipt of an Optional Redemption Notice, provided the Optional Parent Put Exchange Date precedes the Optional Redemption Date by at least three (3) Business Days.  Upon the exchange of shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to such Optional Parent Put Right, such Optional Redemption Notice shall be rendered void in respect of such shares.

    
        83

    

    

    7.2 Subject to applicable law, the Company shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 7 by paying cash for each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed in an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Accrued Dividends added to the Liquidation Preference in accordance with Section 3.6.1) plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends (if any) (such amount, the "Optional Redemption Price"). 

    7.3 The Company shall give notice of its election to redeem the Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 to the Holders of Preferred Stock as such Holders' names appear (as of the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) on the books of the Transfer Agent at the address of such Holders shown therein.  Such notice (the "Optional Redemption Notice") shall state: (i) the Optional Redemption Date, (ii) the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such Holder, (iii) the Optional Redemption Price, and (iv) the place where any shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Optional Redemption Price therefor.

    7.4 If the Company gives the Optional Redemption Notice, the Company shall deposit with or otherwise make available to the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Preferred Stock, no later than the open of business on the Optional Redemption Date, and the Company shall give the Paying Agent instructions and authority to pay the Optional Redemption Price to the Holders to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Optional Redemption Notice.  If the Optional Redemption Notice shall have been given, then from and after the Optional Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in providing funds sufficient for such redemption at the time and place specified for payment pursuant to the Optional Redemption Notice, all dividends on such shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue and all other rights with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed, including the rights, if any, to receive notices, will terminate, except only the rights of Holders thereof to receive the Optional Redemption Price.  The Company shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent the interest income, if any, earned on any such funds deposited with the Paying Agent (to the extent that such interest income is not required to pay the Optional Redemption Price of the shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed), and the holders of any shares of Preferred Stock so redeemed shall have no claim to any such interest income.  Any funds deposited with the Paying Agent hereunder by the Company for any reason, including redemption of shares of Preferred Stock, that remain unclaimed or unpaid after two years after the Optional Redemption Date or other payment date, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law, repaid to the Company upon its written request, after which repayment the Holders entitled to such redemption or other payment shall have recourse only to the Company.

    8. Change of Control.

    8.1 In the event of a Change of Control, or other merger, amalgamation, consolidation or similar transaction in which all or any material portion of the consideration to be paid to the holders of the Parent Common Shares is equity in the surviving or successor entity, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to structure the transaction so the Holders have the option to exchange their outstanding shares of Preferred Stock upon such Change of Control, for securities in the surviving or successor entity that have the same rights, preferences and privileges as the Preferred Stock, as appropriately adjusted to account for the Change of Control or other merger, amalgamation, consolidation or similar transaction.

    
        84

    

    

    8.2 The Company shall give notice to the Holders of a Change of Control no later than ten Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date (as determined in good faith by the Company) of such Change of Control or, if not practicable, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than five Business Days after the Company becomes aware of such Change of Control.  In the event of a Change of Control, the Company or a third party with the prior written consent of the Company (such party, as applicable, the "Redeeming Party") shall, in compliance with applicable law and within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of a Change of Control, make an offer to each Holder to redeem all of such Holder's outstanding Preferred Stock.  Any such redemption shall occur on a date set by the Redeeming Party in its sole discretion, but no later than thirty (30) days after consummation of the Change of Control (the "Change of Control Redemption Date").  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Change of Control Redemption Date may be on the date of the Change of Control, and any redemption pursuant to this Section 8 may be made simultaneously with the Change of Control.  Holders acknowledge and agree that under the terms of the Senior Debt Agreements (as such senior debt agreement may be amended, restated, refinanced, replaced, converted, exchanged or otherwise modified from time to time) and any other debt instruments of the Company or the Parent that restrict, limit or condition the ability of the Company to redeem stock and for so long as such restrictive terms continue or have not been waived by the applicable lenders or holders thereunder, upon any redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 8, the loans and other debt obligations that are accrued and payable under any such credit agreements or debt instruments will, in each case, to the extent required to be repaid prior to such redemption of the Preferred Stock, be repaid (and any commitments and any outstanding letters of credit thereunder will be terminated) prior to such redemption of the Preferred Stock and the restrictions on the redemption of the shares of Preferred Stock and the obligations of the Company under the Second Lien Indenture will apply, including, without limitation, any Change of Control Offer (as defined in the Second Lien Indenture) required by the terms of the Second Lien Indenture.  For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not be deemed to be a waiver by any Holder of its right to receive from the Company and/or its successor the cash associated with such redemption.

    8.3 Subject to applicable law, the Redeeming Party shall effect any such redemption pursuant to this Section 8 by paying cash for each share of Preferred Stock to be redeemed in an amount (such amount, the "Change of Control Redemption Price") equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Liquidation Preference as at the Change of Control Redemption Date plus the Change of Control Redemption Premium plus the Accumulated Cash Dividends as at the Change of Control Redemption Date, and (ii) either (A) in the case of a Change of Control that constitutes a Capital Reorganization in which the Parent Common Shares are not converted or exchanged solely for cash, the cash amount equal to the product of the Exchange Rate as at the Change of Control Redemption Date multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of the Parent Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately prior to the effective date of such Capital Reorganization or, (B) in any other case, the cash amount that a holder of a number of Parent Common Shares equal to the Exchange Rate as at the Change of Control Redemption Date would have received in such Change of Control.

    
        85

    

    

    8.4 The Redeeming Party shall give notice of such redemption offer to the Holders as such Holders' names appear (as of the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which notice is given) on the books of the Transfer Agent at the address of such Holders shown therein.  Such notice (the "Change of Control Redemption Notice") shall state: (i) the Change of Control Redemption Date, (ii) the Change of Control Redemption Price and (iii) the place where any shares of Preferred Stock in certificated form are to be redeemed and shall be presented and surrendered for payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price therefor. 

    8.5 If the Redeeming Party gives a Change of Control Redemption Notice, the Redeeming Party shall deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to redeem the shares of Preferred Stock as to which such Change of Control Redemption Notice shall have been given, no later than the open of business on the Change of Control Redemption Date, and the Redeeming Party shall give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holders to be redeemed upon surrender or deemed surrender of the Certificates therefor as set forth in the Change of Control Redemption Notice.

    9. Events of Noncompliance.

    9.1 If an Event of Noncompliance has occurred and is continuing, the Dividend Rate shall increase immediately by an increment of 1 percentage point. Thereafter, until such time as no Event of Noncompliance exists, the Dividend Rate shall increase automatically at the end of each succeeding 90-day period by an additional increment of 1 percentage point(s) (but in no event shall the Dividend Rate increase more than 5 percentage points hereby). Any increase of the Dividend Rate resulting from the operation of this subparagraph shall terminate as of the close of business on the date on which no Event of Noncompliance exists, subject to subsequent increases pursuant to this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Dividend Rate will only be subject to an increase as contemplated by this Section 9.1 if the Parent or Company, as applicable, fails to cure such Event of Noncompliance within thirty (30) days of (i) in the case of an Event of Noncompliance arising from clause (c) of the definition thereof, the first date on which the Parent or Company acquires actual knowledge of the occurrence of such event or receives written notice from Holders representing a majority of the Preferred Stock outstanding of such occurrence, or (ii) in all other cases, the date of occurrence of the Event of Noncompliance.

    9.2 If any Event of Noncompliance exists, each Holder shall also have any other rights which such Holder is entitled to under any contract or agreement at any time and any other rights which such holder may have pursuant to applicable law.

    10. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Shares or securities representing fractional shares of Parent Common Shares shall be delivered upon exchange, whether voluntary or mandatory, or in respect of dividend payments made in Parent Common Shares on the Preferred Stock.  Instead, the Company may elect to either make a cash payment to each Holder that would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share (based on the Closing Sale Price of such fractional share determined as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the payment thereof) or, in lieu of such cash payment, round up to the next whole share the number of shares of Parent Common Shares to be delivered to any particular Holder upon exchange.

    
        86

    

    

    11. Uncertificated Shares; Certificated Shares.

    11.1 Uncertificated Shares.

    11.1.1. Form. The shares of Preferred Stock may be in uncertificated, book entry form as permitted by the bylaws of the Company and applicable law.  Within a reasonable time after the delivery or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Company shall send to the registered owner thereof an Ownership Notice.

    11.1.2. Transfer. Transfers of Preferred Stock held in uncertificated, book-entry form shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Company kept at an office of the Transfer Agent upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the stock.  The Company may refuse any requested transfer until furnished evidence satisfactory to it that such transfer is proper.

    11.1.3. Legends.

    (A) Each Ownership Notice issued with respect to a share of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the form included in Exhibit G hereto.

    (B) Each Ownership Notice delivered with respect to a Parent Common Share delivered upon the exchange of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend substantially in the form:

    "THE SECURITIES IDENTIFIED HEREIN HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION."

    11.2 Certificated Shares.

    11.2.1. Form and Dating. Unless requested in writing by a Holder to the Company, Preferred Stock shall be in certificated form ("Certificated Preferred Stock"), and the Preferred Stock certificate and the Transfer Agent's certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit G, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of the Certificate of Incorporation.  The Preferred Stock certificate may have notations, legends or endorsements required by applicable law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage; provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company.  Each Preferred Stock certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

    11.2.2. Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign each Preferred Stock certificate for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

    
        87

    

    

    If an Officer whose signature is on a Preferred Stock certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Transfer Agent authenticates the Preferred Stock certificate, the Preferred Stock certificate shall be valid nevertheless.

    A Preferred Stock certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Transfer Agent manually or by facsimile signs the certificate of authentication on the Preferred Stock certificate.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Preferred Stock certificate has been authenticated under the Certificate of Incorporation.

    The Transfer Agent shall authenticate and deliver certificates for shares of Preferred Stock for original issue upon a written order of the Company signed by two Officers or by an Officer and an Assistant Treasurer of the Company.  Such order shall specify the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of the Preferred Stock is to be authenticated.

    The Transfer Agent may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the certificates for the Preferred Stock.  Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate certificates for the Preferred Stock whenever the Transfer Agent may do so.  Each reference in the Certificate of Incorporation to authentication by the Transfer Agent includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Transfer Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

    11.2.3. Transfer and Exchange. When Certificated Preferred Stock is presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register the transfer of such Certificated Preferred Stock or to exchange such Certificated Preferred Stock for an equal number of shares of Certificated Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Certificated Preferred Stock surrendered for transfer or exchange:

    (A) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

    (B) is being transferred or exchanged pursuant to subclause (I) or (II) below, and is accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

    (I) if such Certificated Preferred Stock is being delivered to the Transfer Agent by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto; or

    (II) if such Certificated Preferred Stock is being transferred to the Company or to a "qualified institutional buyer" in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or pursuant to another exemption from registration under the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect (in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto) and (ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth in Section 11.2.4.

    
        88

    

    

    11.2.4. Legends.

    (A) Each certificate evidencing Certificated Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form included in Exhibit G hereto.

    (B) Each certificate evidencing Parent Common Shares delivered upon the exchange of Preferred Stock shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

    "THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAYBE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS THE COMPANY RECEIVES EVIDENCE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION."

    (C) Upon any sale or transfer of a Transfer Restricted Security held in certificated form pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act or an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, the Transfer Agent shall permit the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for Certificated Preferred Stock or certificated Parent Common Shares that does not bear a restrictive legend and rescind any restriction on the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security.

    11.2.5. Replacement Certificates. If any of the Preferred Stock certificates shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue, in exchange and in substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Preferred Stock certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Preferred Stock certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Preferred Stock certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent amount of shares of Preferred Stock, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such Preferred Stock certificate and indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent.

    11.2.6. Cancellation. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Certificated Preferred Stock, the same shall thereupon be delivered to the Transfer Agent for cancellation.  The Transfer Agent and no one else shall cancel and destroy all Preferred Stock certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement or cancellation and deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Company unless the Company directs the Transfer Agent to deliver canceled Preferred Stock certificates to the Company.  The Company may not issue new Preferred Stock certificates to replace Preferred Stock certificates to the extent they evidence Preferred Stock which the Company has purchased or otherwise acquired.

    11.3 Certain Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Preferred Stock.

    11.3.1. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Transfer Agent shall authenticate Certificated Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.

    
        89

    

    

    11.3.2. All shares of Preferred Stock, whether or not Certificated Preferred Stock, issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of such shares of Preferred Stock shall be the valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under the Certificate of Incorporation as the shares of Preferred Stock surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

    11.3.3. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any shares of Preferred Stock, the Transfer Agent and the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name such shares of Preferred Stock are registered as the absolute owner of such Preferred Stock and neither the Transfer Agent nor the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

    11.3.4. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of any Preferred Stock or Parent Common Shares delivered upon the exchange thereof on the transfer books of the Company or the Transfer Agent or upon surrender of any Preferred Stock certificate or Parent Common Shares certificate at the office of the Transfer Agent maintained for that purpose.  However, the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Preferred Stock or Parent Common Shares if the Person receiving shares in connection with such transfer or exchange is not the holder thereof.

    11.3.5. No Obligation of the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Certificate of Incorporation or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Preferred Stock other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

    12. Miscellaneous.

    12.1 With respect to any notice to a Holder required to be provided hereunder, neither failure to mail such notice, nor any defect therein or in the mailing thereof, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other Holders or affect the legality or validity of any vote upon any such action (assuming due and proper notice to such other Holders).  Any notice which was mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

    12.2 Shares of Preferred Stock that have been issued and reacquired by the Company in any manner, including shares of Preferred Stock purchased or redeemed or exchanged or converted, shall (upon compliance with any applicable provisions of the laws of Delaware) upon such reacquisition be automatically cancelled by the Company and shall not be reissued.

    12.3 The shares of Preferred Stock shall be issuable only in whole shares.

    
        90

    

    

    12.4 All notice periods referred to herein shall commence: (i) when made, if made by hand delivery, and upon confirmation of receipt, if made by facsimile; (ii) one Business Day after being deposited with a nationally recognized next-day courier, postage prepaid; or (iii) three Business Days after being by first-class mail, postage prepaid.  Notice to any Holder shall be given to the registered address set forth in the Company's records for such Holder.

    12.5 Any payments required to be made hereunder on any day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without interest or additional payment for such delay.  All payments required hereunder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in United States Dollars to the Holders in accordance with the payment instructions as such Holders may deliver by written notice to the Company from time to time.

    12.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, whenever the Board of Directors is permitted or required to determine fair market value, such determination shall be made in good faith.

    12.7 Except as set forth in Section 4.2.2 and in the Engaged Capital Investor Rights Agreement and the Oaktree Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, the Holders shall have no preemptive or preferential rights to purchase or subscribe to any stock, obligations, warrants or other securities of the Company of any class.

    FIFTH:  Subject to any additional vote required by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, in furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind any or all of the bylaws of the Company.

    SIXTH:  Subject to the certificate of incorporation of the Company, the number of directors of the Company shall be determined in the manner set forth in the bylaws of the Company.

    SEVENTH:  Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Company shall so provide. 

    EIGHTH:  Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the bylaws of the Company may provide.  The books of the Company may be kept outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the bylaws of the Company.

    NINTH:  To the fullest extent permitted by law, a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.  If the General Corporation Law or any other law of the State of Delaware is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article Ninth to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.

    Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Ninth by the stockholders of the Company shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Company existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of the Company with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

    
        91

    

    

    TENTH:  The following indemnification provisions shall apply to the persons enumerated below.

    1. Right to Indemnification of Directors and Officers.  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an "Indemnified Person") who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys" fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Article Tenth, the Company shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnified Person was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.

    2. Prepayment of Expenses of Directors and Officers.  The Company shall pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnified Person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article Tenth or otherwise.

    3. Claims by Directors and Officers.  If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article Tenth is not paid in full within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnified Person has been received by the Company, the Indemnified Person may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim.  In any such action the Company shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

    4. Indemnification of Employees and Agents.  The Company may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Company or, while an employee or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding.  The ultimate determination of entitlement to indemnification of persons who are non-director or officer employees or agents shall be made in such manner as is determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person if the Proceeding was not authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.

    
        92

    

    

    5. Advancement of Expenses of Employees and Agents.  The Company may pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an employee or agent in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board of Directors.

    6. Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights conferred on any person by this Article Tenth shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Company's certificate of incorporation, the Company's bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

    7. Other Indemnification.  The Company's obligation, if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer or employee of another Company, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification from such other Company, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, organization or other enterprise.

    8. Insurance.  The Board of Directors may, to the full extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists, or may hereafter be amended from time to time, authorize an appropriate officer or officers to purchase and maintain at the Company's expense insurance:  (a) to indemnify the Company for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors, officers and employees under the provisions of this Article Tenth; and (b) to indemnify or insure directors, officers and employees against liability in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article Tenth.

    9. Amendment or Repeal.  Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article Tenth shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.  The rights provided hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person and such person's heirs, executors and administrators.

    *    *    *

    
        93

    

    

    3. That the foregoing amendment and restatement was approved by the sole stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote on such action, representing all of the outstanding shares of the corporation voting in favor of the amendment, in accordance with Section 228 of the General Corporation Law.

    4. That this Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which restates and integrates and further amends the provisions of the Company's certificate of incorporation, has been duly adopted in accordance with Sections 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law.
