1.3

Rank. The Class S-1 Common Shares shall, with respect to distribution and redemption rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank (a) pari passu with all other classes or series of Common Shares; and (b) junior to all other shares of stock and equity securities issued by the Corporation the terms of which provide that such shares of stock or equity securities rank senior to Class S-1 Common Shares.
