Inc. ("Residential") and Edge on Triangle Park Inc. ("Triangle") (Bosvest, Residential, and
Triangle are together referred to as the "Edge Companies"), and as such I have personal
knowledge of the matters set out below. Where the source of my information or belief is other
than my own personal knowledge, I have identified the source of that information and I verily
believe the information to be true.
2. Each of Cumberland 2 GP, Cumberland 2 LP, Bosvest, Residential, and Triangle
(collectively referred to as the "Cumberland Group") have filed Notices of Intention to Make a
Proposal ("NOi") under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, RSC 1985, c B-3, as amended (the
"BIA"). The Fuller Landau Group Inc. ("Fuller Landau") was appointed as the proposal trustee
(the "Proposal Trustee") of the Cumberland Group.

I. RELIEF SOUGHT
4. I am swearing this Affidavit in support of an application by the Applicants for an Order,
among other things,
(a) taking up and continuing the BIA proposal proceedings of the Cumberland Group
under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, as
amended (the "CCAA") and the proceeding thereunder (the "CCAA
Proceeding");
(b) granting an Initial Order (the "Initial Order") under the CCAA in respect of the
Cumberland Group;
(c) appointing Fuller Landau as monitor under the CCAA Proceeding with "enhanced"
powers as set out in the Initial Order (the "Monitor");
( d) authorizing the Cumberland Group, at the direction of the Monitor, to borrow
under the debtor-in-possession facility ("DIP Facility") from Davad Investments
Inc. on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Commitment Letter (as
hereinafter defined) dated July 15, 2016, and subject to the Order of Honourable
Mr. Justice Hainey dated August 24, 2016 in the BIA proposal proceedings and
continuing such DIP Facility in the CCAA Proceeding;
( e) declaring that the Co-Operation Protocol between the Proposal Trustee and the
Israeli Parentco Officer (as hereinafter defined) approved in the BIA proposal
proceedings will continue to apply in the CCAA Proceeding as between the
Monitor and the Israeli Parentco Officer;
(f) authorizing that the sales process (the "Sales Process") as described in the Third
Report of Fuller Landau, and approved by Order of Honourable Mr. Justice Hainey
dated August 24, 2016 in the proposal proceedings be taken up and continued in
the CCAA Proceeding, including the entitlement of Fuller Landau to execute and
Page ... 3 11
deliver the vesting certificates contemplated in the Vesting Order (as hereinafter
defined);
(g) authorizing the Monitor to conduct, supervise and direct the Sales Process; and
(h) approving the Administrative Charge and the Directors' Charge, and continuing in
the CCAA Proceeding the DIP Lender's Charge granted by the Order of
Honourable Mr. Justice Hainey dated August 24, 2016.
A. My role in these CCAA proceedings
5. Having consulted with Fuller Landau, in its capacity as Proposal Trustee under the
Cumberland Group's BIA proposal proceedings, I believe that a single consolidated CCAA
proceeding in respect of the Cumberland Group, overseen and substantially conducted by Fuller
Landau as Monitor, will allow the Cumberland Group the greatest opportunity to pursue the
available restructuring and value maximizing alternatives, continue the court-supervised Sales
Process, and continue on-going negotiations with third-parties and other stakeholders in order to
maximize value for all stakeholders.
6. Because I am currently the only officer and director of each of Cumberland 2 GP,
Cumberland 2 LP, Bosvest, Residential, and Triangle, and Fuller Landau was granted enhanced
powers as Proposal Trustee pursuant to the Order of Justice Newbould made on June 15, 2016, I
am of the view that Fuller Landau should be appointed as Monitor of the Cumberland Group
under the Initial Order with similar enhanced powers that would enable and authorize the Monitor
to make all material decisions in respect of the operation of the business and the conduct of the
Sales Process and other negotiations, in consultation with stakeholders, in place of the board of
directors (and management) of Cumberland 2 GP, Cumberland 2 LP, Bosvest, Residential, and
Triangle. In a further effort to build stakeholder confidence in this restructuring process, I have
agreed to limit my role in these restructuring proceedings in deference to the Monitor's proposed
enhanced role, just as I have previously done in connection with the BIA proposal proceedings. I
will remain available to the Monitor throughout the CCAA Proceeding as a consultant and an
information resource, but I will have no decision making power with respect to the business of the
Page .. .4 12
Cumberland Group or the conduct of any sale process, or the transactions or plans ultimately
brought by the Monitor before the Court for approval.
II. INTRODUCTION
7. The Cumberland 2 Companies are indirect subsidiaries of Urbancorp Inc. ("UCI"). UCI is
a real estate development company that has developed, constructed, and sold numerous residential
projects. UCI is the 100% shareholder of Cumberland 2 GP, which in turn is the general partner of
Cumberland 2 LP.
8. Cumberland 2 LP is the sole shareholder and beneficial owner of the assets of Bosvest and
an indirect shareholder of Residential and Triangle. A copy of UCI's basic organizational chart
showing the Edge Companies and their relationship to UCI is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
9. On April 29, 2016, each ofBosvest, Residential and Triangle filed NOis with the Office of
the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada. Fuller Landau was named as proposal trustee under
those NOis. Background information with respect to the proposal proceedings of the Edge
Companies is contained in my affidavit sworn May 20, 2016 (the "First Sask.in Affidavit"). A
copy of the First Saskin Affidavit (without exhibits) is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
10. On May 18, 2016, the Court issued the following Orders in respect of UCI and certain of
its subsidiaries, excluding the Cumberland Group:
(a) an Initial Recognition Order (Foreign Main Proceeding), recognizing proceedings
(the "Israeli Proceedings") commenced in the District Court of Tel Aviv-Yafo,
Israel (the "Israeli Court") on April 25, 2016 as the foreign main proceeding in
respect of UCI pursuant to Part IV of the CCAA and recognizing Guy Gissin, the
Functionary Officer and foreign representative of UCI appointed by the Israeli
Court as the "Foreign Representative";
(b) a Supplemental Order (Foreign Main Proceeding), which inter alia, appointed
KSV Kofman Inc. ("KSV") as the "Information Officer" of the Court in respect
of the Israeli Proceedings and set out the powers of the Information Officer; and
Page ... 5 13
( c) an Initial Order pursuant to the CCAA in respect of most of the direct and indirect
subsidiaries of UCI (the "UCI CCAA Companies"), but not including any of the
entities in the Cumberland Group. Pursuant to the CCAA Initial Order, KSV was
appointed as monitor in respect of the UCI CCAA Companies with enhanced
powers to oversee and manage the business and operations of the UCI CCAA
Companies, and a protocol was approved for cooperation between KSV and the
Foreign Representative.
11. As noted above, the entities comprising the Cumberland Group are not debtors in either
the aforementioned UCI Companies' CCAA proceedings or the Israeli Proceedings. The NOI
proceedings in respect of the Cumberland Group have been kept separate from the CCAA
proceedings in respect of UCI's other subsidiaries as the Cumberland Group is dealing primarily
with claims of direct trade creditors and construction lien claimants as opposed to the Israeli
bondholder claims and other claims being dealt with by UCI and the UCI CCAA Companies.
However, since UCI is the parent of the Cumberland Group and there are intercompany claims
between UCI, some of the UCI CCAA Companies and the entities in the Cumberland Group,
Fuller Landau has kept Canadian counsel for the UCI Foreign Representative and KSV, in its
capacity as monitor of the UCI CCAA Companies, apprised of the Cumberland Group's NOi
proceedings and has consulted with them in connection with their respective interests in the
Cumberland Group.
12. On May 20, 2016, each of Cumberland 2 LP and Cumberland 2 GP filed NOis, naming
Fuller Landau as proposal trustee.
13. On May 26, 2016, the Court granted an Order (the "May 26th Order"), among other
things:
(a) administratively consolidating the proposal proceedings of Bosvest, Residential
and Triangle under one joint title of proceedings and one estate and court file
number: 31-2117551;
(b) granting an Administrative Charge in favour of Fuller Landau, counsel to Fuller
Landau, and counsel for Bosvest, Residential and Triangle;
Page ... 6 14
( c) authorizing Fuller Landau to open and manage bank accounts for Bosvest,
Residential and Triangle; and
( d) extending the time within which a proposal must be filed by Bosvest, Residential
and Triangle with the Official Receiver to and including July 12, 2015.
A copy of the May 26th Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "C".
14. On June 15, 2016, the Court granted an Order (the "June 15th Order"), among other
things,
(a) administratively consolidating the proposal proceedings of the Edge Companies
and the Cumberland 2 Companies;
(b) ordering that the Administrative Charge extends to the Property of the Cumberland
2 Companies;
( c) approving the "Protocol for Co-Operation Among Canadian Court Officer and
Israeli Functionary" dated June 8, 2016 (the "Co-operation Protocol");
( d) granting certain additional powers to Fuller Landau with respect to the Edge
Companies and their property, to assist in the management and administration
thereof;
( e) directing Harris Sheaffer LLP to release approximately $2. 7 million, held in its
trust accounts relating to realty taxes owed to the City of Toronto, to Fuller
Landau; and
(f) extending the time for filing a proposal by the Cumberland 2 Companies until July
12, 2016.
Background information with respect to the proposal proceedings of the Cumberland 2
Companies is contained in my affidavit sworn June 10, 2016 (the "Second Saskin Affidavit"). A
copy of the Second Saskin Affidavit (without exhibits) is attached hereto as Exhibit "D". A copy
of the June 15th Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "E".
Page ... 7 15
15. On July 11, 2016, the Court granted an Order (the "July 11th Order") extending the time
for filing a proposal by the Cumberland Group until August 26, 2016. A copy of the July 11th
Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "F".
16. On August 24, 2016, the Court granted an Order (the "August 24th Order"), among other
things,
(a) approving the Sales Process, including the engagement of Brad J. Lamb Realty Inc.
("BL") as listing agent under the Sales Process and granting a prospective vesting
order in respect of certain sales contemplated therein;
(b) approving the DIP Facility from Davad Investments Inc. ("Davad" or the "DIP
Lender");
(c) approving the DIP Lender's Charge;
( d) approving the activities of Fuller Landau;
(e) approving the fees and disbursements of Fuller Landau and its counsel; and
(f) extending the time for the Cumberland Group to file a proposal pursuant to section
50.4(9) of the BIA to and including October 10, 2016.
A copy of the August 24th Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "G".
17. Also on August 24, 2016, the Court issued an Approval and Vesting Order (the "Vesting
Order") in respect of the sale of one or more Vacant Units (as defined in the Vesting Order). A
copy of the Vesting Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "H".
18. After a comprehensive review of the current operations of the Cumberland Group with
Fuller Landau as Proposal Trustee, I am of the view that a broad court-supervised restructuring of
the Cumberland Group as a whole is required in order to preserve the most value for stakeholders
and complete the Sales Process. I believe that a CCAA proceeding is the appropriate forum for
effecting such a restructuring, particularly since it will provide the Monitor with the additional
time needed to complete the Sales Process and address claims and other matters to maximize
Page ... 8 16
recoveries for creditors and other stakeholders. Fuller Landau has provided its consent to act as
Monitor of the Cumberland Group and its signed consent is attached hereto as Exhibit "I".
III. OVERVIEW OF THE CUMBERLAND GROUP
A. Cumberland 2 GP
19. Cumberland 2 GP is an indirect subsidiary of UCL As previously noted, UCI is a 100%
shareholder of Cumberland 2 GP, which in tum is the general partner of Cumberland 2 LP
(discussed below). As at the date of Cumberland 2 GP's NOI filing, Cumberland 2 GP had
creditors who were owed $3 7 .9 million according to its books and records.
B. Cumberland 2 LP
20. Cumberland 2 LP is the sole shareholder and beneficial owner of the assets of Bosvest and
an indirect shareholder of Residential and Triangle. As at the date of Cumberland 2 LP's NOI
filing, Cumberland 2 LP had creditors who were owed approximately $37.9 million according to
its books and records.
C. Bosvest
21. Bosvest was incorporated on December 31, 2004 and is a holding company which
currently owns 100% of the shares of Triangle and Residential. In 2010, Bosvest, entered into a
co-tenancy agreement with 994697 Ontario Inc. (an arms-length entity) to construct the Edge
Triangle project (the "Edge Triangle Project") and held a 66.67% interest in Triangle. On June
22, 2015, the co-tenancy agreement was terminated and the remaining unsold units in the project
were divided between the partners.
22. At the time of Bosvest's NOI filing, Bosvest's assets consisted of its investment in
Triangle and certain limited accounts receivable. As at the date of Bostvest's NOI filing,
according to Bosvest's books and records, it owed $5,412,303.12, comprising of intercompany
indebtedness to various Urbancorp Group entities and a secured loan to Terra Firma Capital
Corporation in the amount of $486,292.07.
Page ... 9 17
D. Triangle
23. Triangle was incorporated on February 9, 2010 and was the developer of the Edge
Triangle Project which is a mixed-use project consisting of rental and development portions. The
Edge Triangle Project consists of two towers of 21 and 22 stories built on top of a 7 story podium
with a total above grade buildable floor area of 690,678 sq. ft, consisting of 666 residential units,
38,958 sq. ft. of office space, and commercial space with a total area of 3,700 sq. ft. Construction
was substantially completed in May, 2015.
24. At the time of Triangle's NOI filing, Triangle owned 5 residential condominium units, 5
retail condominium units, and the 38,958 sq. ft. of office space, the latter being subject to section
37 Planning Act and related agreements with the City of Toronto.
25. At the time of Triangle's NOI filing, Triangle's assets consisted of the real estate assets set
out in the paragraph above and also included an amount due from Residential related to the
transferred condominium units (as described below), amounts that were held in trust by Harris
Sheaffer LLP (the Edge Companies' real estate counsel), a loan receivable from the Edge
Triangle Project condominium corporation, and amounts due from other Urbancorp Group
entities. As at the date of Triangle's NOI filing, according to Triangle's books and records it
owed $27,532,415.09 comprising of amounts due to trade creditors including lien claimants,
government agencies, real estate brokers, and significant intercompany indebtedness to various
Urbancorp Group entities.
E. Residential
26. Residential was incorporated on April 10, 2015 and owns 32 condominum units that were
transferred to Residential from Triangle on or about July 2015. At the time of Residential's NOI
filing, 19 units were being rented and the remaining 13 units were vacant with limited
construction remaining on certain units (i.e. installation of appliances, countertops, etc.).
27. Residential's assets consist of the real estate assets set out in the paragraph above and
amounts due from other Urbancorp Group entities. As at the date of the NOI filing, according to
Residential's books and records it owed $7,203,299.88 which is comprised of amounts due to
trade creditors and government agencies, lien claimants, and intercompany indebtedness to
Page ... 10 18
vanous Urbancorp Group entities including to Edge Triangle in respect of the transferred
condominium units. It was intended that units held by Residential would be entirely for rental
purposes generating what was effectively investment income.
IV. SALES PROCESS
28. Between July 8, 2016 and July 11, 2016, Fuller Landau in its capacity as Proposal Trustee,
solicited proposals from 13 real estate brokers regarding a sales process in respect of the retail and
residential condominium units, parking spots, and lockers legally owned by Triangle and
Residential.
29. As part of this solicitation process, the Proposal Trustee set a bid deadline of July 15, and
12 of the 13 brokers submitted proposals. The Proposal Trustee, with input from the Israeli
Functionary and the Cumberland Group, selected six realtors to meet with the Proposal Trustee
and the Cumberland Group to discuss their proposals.
30. After holding discussions and/or meetings with the six realtors, the Proposal Trustee and
Management selected the proposal of BL dated August 2, 2016, subject to the approval of this
Court.
31. BL's recommended sale process is to divide the condominium units into three categories:
(a) Parcel A: 23 leased residential condominium units including certain of the parking
spaces and lockers that are to be sold as a bulk package;
(b) Parcel B: 5 retail condominium units, two of which are subject to lease agreements,
that are to be sold as a bulk package; and
(c) Parcel C: 14 vacant residential condominium units including certain of the parking
spaces and lockers that are to be sold on an individual unit basis.
BL's proposed sale process was detailed in the Third Report to the Court of Fuller Landau
dated August 18, 2016 (the "Third Report"). A copy of the Third Report (without appendices) is
attached hereto as Exhibit "J".
Page ... 11 19
32. The Sales Process was approved by the Court in the August 24th Order. The Court also
approved a Sale Agreement that was to be used for the Vacant Units and issued the Vesting Order
to allow the Proposal Trustee to close certain transactions.
V. DIP FACILITY
33. Fuller Landau in its capacity as Proposal Trustee of the Cumberland Group advised the
Court in its Second Report that on June 27, 2016 that it had commenced a DIP solicitation
process. The DIP Facility was required until the Sales Process for the real property commenced
under the NOI proceedings was completed in order to fund ongoing operating costs for payroll
and overhead, consultant fees, Tarion related warranty repairs or settlements, including
completion or repairs to common elements, the payment of professional fees and other matters
related to the insolvency proceedings of the Cumberland Group.
34. In the August 24th Order, the Court approved the DIP Facility between the Cumberland
Group and Davad subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the commitment letter (the
"Commitment Letter") dated July 15, 2016. The terms of the DIP Facility between the
Cumberland Group and Davad were summarized in the Third Report. A copy of the Commitment
Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit "K".
35. Fuller Landau has discussed the proposed CCAA Proceeding with Davad and it is
prepared to continue the DIP Facility in the CCAA Proceeding, subject to approval by the Court
and the requested continuance of the DIP Lender's Charge.
VI. THE APPLICANTS MEET THE CCAA STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
36. Each of the Applicants is a "company" to which the CCAA applies as they are each
incorporated pursuant to the OBCA. The Applicants have claims against them in the aggregate in
excess of $5 million. Each of the Applicants is insolvent as it is subject to NOI proceedings and is
unable to meet its obligations generally as they come due.
Page ... 12 20
VII. RELIEF BEING SOUGHT
A. Continuance of NOi proceedings under the CCAA
37. As noted herein, the entities within the Cumberland Group have commenced the NOI
proceedings in order to maintain the status quo and preserve value for their respective
stakeholders. The conversion from the five (5) separate NOI proceedings into one CCAA
proceeding will provide administrative efficiencies and additional time, and allow the
Cumberland Group to streamline their restructuring efforts. A CCAA proceeding will also afford
a stable and yet flexible framework within which to restructure the Cumberland Group in order to
maximize value for their respective stakeholders. As the NOI proceedings have already been
administratively consolidated pursuant to the June 15th Order, there will be no prejudice to any
party from their continued administration on a consolidated basis under the CCAA.
B. Stay of Proceedings
38. The Cumberland Group requires a stay of proceedings in order to preserve the status quo
and bring stability to the business operations, and to implement a broad based restructuring
strategy. In the interim, current and potential actions and other enforcement steps against the
Cumberland Group and its assets and property need to be stayed so that the Cumberland Group,
its stakeholders, with the assistance of Fuller Landau, can focus on a restructuring plan that will
preserve and maximize value for stakeholders.
39. The current stay of proceedings under the NOI proceedings expires on October 10, 2016,
which does not provide the Cumberland Group and the Proposal Trustee sufficient time to
complete the Sales Process and address claims and other matters in the proposal proceedings to be
able to formulate proposals to their creditors. I am advised by counsel that if a viable proposal is
not filed by the entities comprising the Cumberland Group by October 10, 2016, then the entities
comprising the Cumberland Group will likely become bankrupt. If that happens, it will be to the
detriment of the creditors of the entities comprising the Cumberland Group. By continuing the
proceedings under the CCAA, the Cumberland Group and the Monitor will have additional time,
which is needed to complete these matters for the benefit of creditors and other stakeholders.
Page ... 13 21
C. Sales Process
40. As previously discussed, the Court approved the Sales Process in the August 24th Order.
The Court also authorized and directed the Proposal Trustee and the listing agent to perform their
obligations under and in accordance with the Sales Process and to take such further steps as they
consider necessary or desirable in carrying out the Sales Process.
41. As detailed in the Third Report, the Proposal Trustee had requested that the Sales Process
be approved for the following reasons:
(a) the Sales Process timelines for divesting the Real Property allow BL to obtain
maximum exposure and provides sufficient time for due diligence;
(b) the Sales Process strategy of offering for sale individual units and a bulk offering
of the Leased Units and the Retail Units increases the number of potentially
interested parties to include end users and investors with the goal of maximizing
realizations; and
( c) the Sales Process is an efficient and cost-effective strategy for running the sale of
the Real Property and avoiding the requirement for the Proposal Trustee to attend
in Court for approval to close each Transaction and thereby reduce professional
fees associated therewith.
42. For the reasons outlined above, the Applicants request that Fuller Landau, in its capacity
as Monitor and on behalf of the Cumberland Group, be authorized to continue the Sales Process,
perform its obligations under and in accordance with the Sales Process, and continue to execute
and deliver vesting certificates in its capacity as Proposal Trustee pursuant to the Vesting Order.
D. DIP Lender's Charge
43. As previously discussed, the DIP Facility is required until the Sales Process for the real
property is completed in order to fund ongoing operating costs and other matters related to the
insolvency proceedings of the Cumberland Group. The Court had granted the DIP Lender the
benefit of the DIP Lender's Charge in the August 24th Order. The Applicants request that the DIP
Lender's Charge granted by the Court in the August 24th Order be continued in the CCAA
Page ... 14 22
proceedings of the Cumberland Group. The granting of the DIP Lender's Charge by the Court is
required by the DIP Lender to continue the DIP Facility in the CCAA Proceeding with the same
scope and priority as set out in the August 24th Order.
E. Administration Charge
44. It is contemplated that the proposed Monitor, counsel to the proposed Monitor, and
counsel to the Cumberland Group would be granted a Court-ordered charge on the assets,
property and undertakings of each of the Cumberland Group up to the maximum amount of
$250,000 (the "Administration Charge") with respect to their respective fees and disbursements,
incurred at standard rates and charges. I am of the view that the Administration Charge is fair and
reasonable in the circumstances.
45. The nature of the Cumberland Group's business and operations requires the expertise,
knowledge and continuing participation of the proposed beneficiaries of the Administration
Charge in order to complete a successful restructuring. The professionals that are to be
beneficiaries of the Administration Charge have contributed, and continue to contribute, to the
restructuring of the Cumberland Group. I believe that the Administration Charge is necessary to
ensure their continued participation.
F. Directors' Charge
46. Notwithstanding my proposed reduced role in the day-to-day operations of the
Cumberland Group, I will remain as the sole director of each of Cumberland 2 GP, Cumberland 2
LP, Bosvest, Triangle and Residential. I believe I have specialized knowledge and relationships
with the Cumberland Group's suppliers, employees, major joint venture partners, and other
stakeholders, as well as knowledge gained throughout the growth of the Urbancorp Group that
cannot be replicated or easily replaced.
4 7. As the sole remaining director of the Cumberland 2 GP, Cumberland 2 LP, Bosvest,
Triangle and Residential, I believe that it is equitable on account of the risk for potential personal
liability that the Initial Order provides for a charge on the assets of the Cumberland Group
ranking behind the Administration Charge and the DIP Lender's Charge, as security for the
Cumberland Group's indemnification obligations for the potential obligations and liabilities I may
Page ... 15 23
incur during the pendency of these proceedings. It is proposed that a directors' charge in the
amount of $150,000 (the "Directors' Charge") be granted by the Court over all of the
Cumberland Group's assets and property.
48. At this time, there is no existing D&O insurance policy in place that would cover directors
and officers of any of the Cumberland Group, and, as such, it is even more important that I be
provided with the benefit of the Directors' Charge.
G. Priority of proposed charges
49. It is proposed that the priorities of the Charges (as defined below) be as follows:
(a) First-Administration Charge;
(b) Second - DIP Lender's Charge; and
( c) Third - Directors' Charge;
(collectively, the "Charges").
VIII. CONCLUSION
50. For the reasons set out herein, I believe that it is just and equitable, and in the best interests
of all stakeholders of the Cumberland Group, that the Initial Order be granted and that Fuller
Landau is appointed as Monitor under the CCAA with the powers described herein and as
contemplated in the form of Initial Order attached at Tab 3 of the Application Record.

Officer; and
,c·,. an Initial Order pursuant to the CCAA (the "CCAA Initial ·Order") in respect ()f
most of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of UCI (the "CCAA Companies"), btjt
not including any of the companies in the Cumberland 2 Group. Pursuant to the

Landau Group Inc. ("FL") as ,proposal trustee (the "Proposal Trustee"). The NOI proceedings in
respect of the Edge Companies have been kept separate from the CCAA proceedings 1n respect of
UCI's other subsidiaries as the Edge Companies are dealing primarily with claims of direct trade
creditors and construction lien claimants as opposed to the Israeli bondholder claims and other
claims being dealt with by UCI and the CCAA Companies. However, since UCI is the parent of
the Cumberland 2 Group , and there are intercompany claims between some of the CCAA
