ARTICLE 5

COVENANTS OF THE INVESTORS

5.1 Notice of Drop of Debt Exchange Common Share Percentage below 5%

If any Investor’s Debt Exchange Common Share Percentage falls below 5%, such Investor will provide notice in writing to that effect to each of the other Investors and the Corporation as soon as possible after such Investor becomes aware. In addition, Gotham shall provide notice in writing to the other Investors and the Corporation when its Debt Exchange Common Share Percentage falls below a threshold set out in Section 3.1(a).

5.2 Gotham Voting Restriction

(a) Subject to Section 5.2(b) and Section 5.2(c), on the record date in respect of any meeting of the Shareholders, if:

(i) the number of Debt Exchange Common Shares held by Gotham at such time; plus

(ii) the number of Non-Participating Secured Lender Shares at such time

would represent more than 35.78% of the votes attached to all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, then, unless Supermajority Board Approval is obtained, Gotham shall not vote at such meeting of the Shareholders such number of its Debt Exchange Common Shares (the “Non-Votable Gotham Debt Exchange Common Shares”) that would otherwise result in the Secured Lenders being able to vote more than 35.78% of the votes attached to all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (for purposes of calculating the number of Non-Votable Gotham Debt Exchange Common Shares, such shares shall be excluded from the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares).

Execution Version

5.3 Gotham Standstill

Until the date that is three years from the Effective Date, unless Supermajority Board Approval is obtained, Gotham shall not, directly or indirectly, acquire Common Shares that will cause Gotham’s Common Share Percentage to exceed the percentage calculated as follows:

5.4 Additional Representations and Covenants of the Investors

(a) Subject to Section 5.4(b):

(ii) each Investor agrees, and agrees to cause each of its Affiliates, not to 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 Equity Securities held by such Investor or Affiliate in connection with any Change of Control Transaction.

ARTICLE 6

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

6.1 Arbitration

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, interpretation, termination or validity thereof (a “Dispute”) will be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the Arbitration Act, 1991 (Ontario) in accordance with the following:

(a) The arbitration tribunal will consist of one arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement of the Parties to the Dispute, or in the event of failure to agree within 10 Business Days following delivery of the written notice to arbitrate, any Parties to the Dispute may apply to a judge sitting in Toronto, Ontario to appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator must be qualified by education and training to rule upon the particular matter to be decided.

(b) The arbitrator will be instructed that time is of the essence in the arbitration proceeding and that, in any event, the arbitration award must be made within 30 days of the submission of the Dispute to arbitration.

(c) After written notice is given to refer any Dispute to arbitration, the Parties to the Dispute will meet within 10 Business Days of delivery of the notice and negotiate in good faith any changes in these arbitration provisions or the rules of arbitration which are adopted by this Section 6.1, in an effort to expedite the process and otherwise ensure that the process is appropriate given the nature of the Dispute and the values at risk.

(d) The seat of the arbitration shall be Toronto.

(e) The arbitration award will be given in writing and will be final and binding on the Parties, not subject to any appeal. Subject to the provision of this Section 6.1(e), the arbitration award will deal with the question of costs of arbitration and all related matters. A Party to a Dispute may, at any time, make an offer to the other Parties to the Dispute to settle all or any part of the Dispute. Any offer to settle is deemed to be an offer of compromise made in confidence and without prejudice. The fact that an offer to settle has been made may not be communicated to the arbitrator until the arbitrator has made a final determination of all aspects of the Dispute other than costs. If an offer to settle is not accepted and the arbitration award is no more favourable to the Party to which the offer was made, the Party making the offer is entitled to all of its costs in connection with the arbitration in respect of the period from the date the offer to settle was made to the making of the arbitration award. The costs of arbitration include the arbitrators’ fees and expenses, the provision of a reporter and transcripts, reasonable legal fees and reasonable costs of preparations.

(f) Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to the court for a judicial recognition of the award or an order of enforcement, as the case may be.

19

Execution Version

(g) All Disputes referred to arbitration (including the scope of the agreement to arbitrate, any statute of limitations, set-off claims, conflict of laws, rules, tort claims and interest claims) are governed by the law of Ontario and the federal law of Canada applicable therein.

(h) Despite the submission of a Dispute to arbitration, each Party shall continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement until the final disposition of the arbitration. Each Party shall only cease or curtail such performance if the Party is expressly permitted to do so by a final award of the arbitral tribunal that has not been appealed, by a final court judgment, or otherwise by court order. The Parties agree that the breach of this term requiring continued performance of the Agreement will cause serious and irreparable damage and harm to the affected Party and that remedies at law may be inadequate to compensate for such a breach. Each Party agrees that an injunction or order for specific performance, or both, is an appropriate remedy to enforce this term, without proof of factual damages, in addition to any other remedy to which the affected Party may be entitled.

(i) In addition to any other confidentiality obligations that may apply, the Parties shall keep confidential and not disclose to any person the existence of the arbitration and any element of the arbitration (including submissions and any evidence of or documents presented or exchanged and any awards thereunder), except to the arbitral tribunal, the Parties’ auditors and insurers, legal counsel to the Parties and any other person necessary to the conduct of the arbitration and except to the extent required by law, the rules of a stock exchange or securities regulatory authority having jurisdiction over a Party, or as required for any court application to set aside or enforce any award or decision made pursuant thereto. No individual shall be appointed as an arbitrator unless he or she agrees in writing to be bound by a confidentiality provision similar in form and substance to this paragraph.

(j) By agreeing to arbitration and negotiating in good faith, the Parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment or other order in aid of the arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a legal court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies, statutory remedies and to award damages for the failure of the disputing Parties to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect.

ARTICLE 7

(b) Upon any termination of this Agreement (including termination in respect of a Party in accordance with Section 7.3(a)), the obligations in Article 6, Article 8 and Article 9 and such other provisions necessary to give effect thereto shall continue to apply.

SCHEDULE 5.2

SAMPLE VOTING RESTRICTION CALCULATION

For example, as of the Effective Date, assuming:

(i) Gotham receives 2,568,047,190 Debt Exchange Common Shares;

(ii) the Non-Participating Secured Lenders receive 468,242,662 Debt Exchange Common Shares; and

(iii) there are 6,244,297,897 Common Shares issued and outstanding;

Gotham would not be permitted to vote in aggregate 1,248,956,812 of its Debt Exchange Common Shares (in this example, the “Non-Votable Gotham Debt Exchange Common Shares”) because:

(a) the number of Debt Exchange Common Shares held by Gotham (2,568,047,190) plus the Non-Participating Secured Lender Shares (468,242,662) less the Non-Votable Gotham Debt Exchange Common Shares (1,248,956,812);

(b) divided by the total outstanding Common Shares (6,244,297,897) less the Non-Votable Gotham Debt Exchange Common Shares (1,248,956,812)

is equal to 35.78%. Therefore, Gotham would be able to vote 1,319,090,378 of its Debt Exchange Common Shares and also vote any other Common Shares it holds or acquires, but it would not be able to vote the 1,248,956,812 Non-Votable Gotham Debt Exchange Common Shares.

The number of Non-Votable Gotham Debt Exchange Common Shares will decrease over time (and therefore the number of Debt Exchange Common Shares that Gotham will be able to vote will increase) as the number of Non-Participating Secured Lender Shares decreases and as the number of outstanding Common Shares increases.

5.2-1

SCHEDULE 9.6
