Dividends: Holders of Series 1 Shares will be entitled to receive quarterly fixed cumulative preferential distributions equal to $0.390625 per Series 1 Share to yield 6.25% per annum on the original issue price of the Series 1 Shares. Such quarterly distributions are expected to be paid by the Company to holders of record on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December in each year with payments being made on or before the 15th day of the following month.

Retraction: The Series 1 Shares may be surrendered for retraction at any time. A holder retracting Series 1 Shares may not receive cash but may instead receive debentures (the “Debentures”) issued by the Company. The Company will enter into a remarketing agreement (the “Remarketing Agreement”) with a registered dealer that will provide that the registered dealer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to find purchasers for any Series 1 Shares tendered for retraction at a price that is not less than (after expenses) the Series 1 Share Retraction Price (as defined in the Prospectus), provided that the retracting holder has not withheld consent to the sale of such Series 1 Shares. If a purchaser cannot be found, or if the retracting holder has withheld its consent, the retracting holder will receive, per Series 1 Share retracted, an unsecured debenture of the Company (a “Debenture”) with a principal amount equal to $25.00, provided that certain financial tests as described in the Prospectus are satisfied. If the Company is not permitted to issue Debentures at any time pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and a purchaser cannot be found pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement or the retracting holder has withheld its consent, holders who surrender Series 1 Shares for retraction will receive cash in an amount equal to the Series 1 Share Retraction Price. The Series 1 Share Retraction Price will be equal to the least of (i) 95% of the Net Asset Value per Unit on the Retraction Valuation Date, (ii) 95% of the VWAP of the Series 1 Shares for the three Business Days ending on the Deposit Date and (iii) $23.75.
