    •  
  • Certain conditions precedent under the heading "Conditions Precedent" in the Restructuring Term Sheet shall be required to be satisfied or consummated on the Restructuring Effective Date rather than the Voting Deadline, including (i) receipt of executed copies in respect of certain shareholder arrangements; (ii) delivery of certain certifications by directors of Stoneway and its subsidiaries; (iii) consummation of the restructuring of certain local revolving credit facilities at the subsidiary level; and (iv) delivery of a draft term sheet (or range of terms) with respect to an EPC Contract between the Company and Siemens.

  •  
  • certain changes to the milestones and other provisions relating to the Approved EPC Contract; and
  •  
  • certain changes with respect to contracts with qualified operators.
  •  

The Second Circular Supplement will contain a complete description of the amendments described herein and amend certain statements made in the Circular in order to conform the Circular with the Restructuring Support Agreement Amendment and the Amended Description of Notes .

Banks, brokers or other intermediaries (each, an " Intermediary ") that hold the Existing Notes on a Noteholder's behalf may have internal deadlines that require Noteholders to submit their votes by an earlier date in advance of the New Voting Instructions Deadline, as applicable, and may have internal requirements for the submission of voting instructions.  Noteholders are encouraged to contact their Intermediaries directly to confirm any such internal deadline or voting instruction requirements.
