Schedule A - Terms for Amalco Redeemable Preferred Shares
(A) Dividends: To the extent permitted under the Act and before the participation rights of the holders of Common Shares but subject to the prior participation rights of the holders of Class A Preferred Shares, the holders of Class B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board, out of the assets and funds of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends in such amounts and payable in such manner as the Board may from time to time determine.
(B) Notice and Voting: The holders of Class B Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to receive notice of or to attend meetings of shareholders of the Corporation and shall not be entitled to vote at such meetings;
(C) Liquidation: In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or other distribution of property of the Corporation among shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, the holders of Class B Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive from the property of the Corporation a sum equivalent to the aggregate Redemption Amount (as hereinafter defined) of all the Class B Preferred Shares held by them respectively before any amount shall be paid or any property of the Corporation distributed to the holders of Common Shares but after all amounts shall be paid by the Corporation to holders of Class A Preferred Shares. After payment to the holders of Class B Preferred Shares of the amount so payable to them as above provided they shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the property of the Corporation;
(D) Redemption: The Corporation may, subject to the requirements of the Act, upon the giving of such notice, if any, and following of such procedures as the Board may determine from time to time redeem at any time the whole or from time to time any part of the then outstanding Class B Preferred Shares, either on a pro rata basis or otherwise, on payment of an amount for each share to be redeemed equal to (i) the fair market value of that number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock equal to the Share Exchange Ratio plus all declared and unpaid cash dividends thereon and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing the Residual Cash Amount by the total number of Class B Preferred Shares on the date of redemption, the whole constituting and being hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption Amount”.
On or after the date specified for redemption, the Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to or to the order of the registered holders of the Class B Preferred Shares to be redeemed the Redemption Amount thereof on presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation or any other place designated by the Corporation in the notice of redemption of the certificates representing the Class B Preferred Shares called for redemption. In the alternative, the Corporation at its sole option may satisfy the portion of the Redemption Amount equal to the fair market value of that number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock equal to the Share Exchange Ratio by delivering or arranging for Acquiror or Acquiror Sub 2 to deliver to registered holders of Class B Preferred Shares for each Class B Preferred Share to be redeemed, that number of shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock. In addition, in the event that all of the issued and outstanding Class B Preferred Shares are held by one holder, the Corporation at its sole option may satisfy the payment of the aggregate Redemption Amount for all of the issued and outstanding Class B Preferred Shares by issuing to the holder a promissory note in the
principal amount equal to such aggregate Redemption Amount, such promissory note being convertible at the option of the holder for that number of Common Shares equal to the number of issued and outstanding Class B Preferred Shares prior to their redemption. Such Class B Preferred Shares shall thereupon be redeemed. If less than all the Class B Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate for that number of Class B Preferred Shares represented by the original certificate which are not redeemed. From and after the date specified for redemption, the holders of the Class B Preferred Shares called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to dividends and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of shareholders in respect thereof unless payment of the Redemption Amount shall not be made upon presentation of certificates in accordance with the foregoing provisions, in which case the rights of the holders shall remain unaffected.
(E) Conversion: The Corporation may, upon the giving of such notice, if any, and following of such procedures as the Board may determine from time to time convert at any time the whole or from time to time each Class B Preferred Share for a Common Share.
On or after the date specified for conversion, the Corporation shall issue to registered holders of the Class B Preferred Shares to be converted certificates representing the applicable number of Common Shares on presentation and surrender at the registered office of the Corporation of the certificates representing the Class B Preferred Shares being converted. If less than all of the Class B Preferred Shares represented by any certificate are converted, the holder shall be entitled to receive a new certificate for that number of Class B Preferred Shares represented by the original certificate which are not converted.
