change or control of the Company (or similar transaction); incorporate mechanics for the cash payout of
dividend share units in certain circumstances; clarify that shareholder approval would be required for any
amendment of the LTIP that would amend any provisions related to termination, the extension of the term
of any insider options or the addition of new categories of participants under the LTIP; and make
consequential changes to certain defined terms to reflect the foregoing.
