ARTICLE 1
AMENDMENT

The following amendments be made to the Plan of Arrangement, which is appended as Schedule 1 to the Arrangement Agreement:

“Exchange Ratio” means 0.089 of a Parent Share for each Target Share;

(d) immediately thereafter, each issued and outstanding Target Share (other than any Target Share in respect of which the Target Shareholder has validly exercised Dissent Rights) will be transferred to, and acquired by Purchaser, without any act or formality on the part of the holder of such Target Share or Purchaser, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, in exchange for 0.089 of a Parent Share, provided that the aggregate number of Parent Shares payable to any Target Shareholder, if calculated to include a fraction of a Parent Share, will be rounded down to the nearest whole Parent Share, with no consideration being paid for the fractional share, and:

(i)          the registered holders of such Target Shares shall cease to be the registered holders thereof and to have any rights as holders of such Target Shares other than the right to receive the Consideration from the Purchaser in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement;

(ii)         such holders’ names shall be removed from the register of the Target Shares maintained by or on behalf of the Target;

(iii)        the Purchaser shall be deemed to be the transferee and the legal and beneficial holder of such Target Shares (free and clear of all Liens) and shall be entered as the registered holder of such Target Shares in the register of the Target Shares maintained by or on behalf of the Target; and

(iv)        the Purchaser shall cause to be issued and delivered the Consideration issuable and deliverable to such Target Shareholder (other than Dissenting Target Shareholders) and such Target Shareholder’s name shall be added to the applicable register of holders of Parent Shares maintained by or on behalf of the Parent in respect of such Parent Shares;

All of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, remain unchanged and will remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE 2
GENERAL
