ONTARIO SUPERIOR COURT OF JUSTICE
(COMMERCIAL LIST)
IN THE MATTER OF THE COMPANIES' CREDITORS ARRANGEMENT ACT, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, AS AMENDED
AND IN THE MATTER OF A PLAN OF COMPROMISE OR ARRANGEMENT OF URBAN CORP CUMBERLAND 2 GP INC., URBAN CORP CUMBERLAND 2 L.P.,
BOSVEST INC., EDGE ON TRIANGLE PARK INC., AND EDGE RESIDENTIAL INC.
NOTICE OF MOTION (returnable January 22, 2018)
THE MOVING PARTY, Guy Gissin, the Israeli Court-appointed functionary officer and
foreign representative ("Functionary") of Urbancorp Inc. ("UCI"), will make a motion to a
judge presiding over the Commercial List on Monday, January 22, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., or as
soon after that as the motion can be heard, at 330 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario.
THE PROPOSED METHOD OF HEARING: The motion is to be heard orally.
THE MOTION IS FOR an Order:
1. That Fuller Landau Group Inc., in its capacity as monitor ("Monitor") of the Applicants,
deliver its report on the account review of Bennett Jones LLP ("Bennett Jones");
2. That the Monitor produce the underlying accounts of Bennett Jones to the Functionary;
and,
3. Such further and other relief that the moving party may request and this Honourable
Court may consider just.
THE GROUNDS FOR THE MOTION ARE:
1. On April 25, 2016, pursuant to an application under Israel's insolvency regime
brought by the indenture trustee of certain notes issued by UCI on the Israeli Stock
Exchange ("Bond Issuance"), the District Court in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel ("Israeli
31326060_3fNATDOCS
1
Court") granted an order appointing Guy Gissin as functionary officer of UCI and
giving him certain management powers, authorities and responsibilities over UCI
("Israeli Proceedings").
2. On April 29, 2016, Bosvest Inc. ("Bosvest"), Edge Residential Inc. ("Residential"),
and Edge on Triangle Park ("Triangle", and collectively with Bosvest and Residential,
the "Edge Companies") each filed a notice of intention to make a proposal ("NOi")
pursuant to section 50.4(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. B-3
("BIA").
3. On May 18, 2016, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) ("Ontario
Court") granted an initial recognition order under Part IV of the Companies'
Creditors Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36 ("CCAA") which order declared the
Israeli Proceedings in respect of UCI as a "foreign main proceeding" and recognized
the Functionary as foreign representative of UCL
4. On May 20, 2016, Urbancorp Cumberland 2 GP Inc. ("Cumberland 2 GP") and
Urbancorp Cumberland 2 L.P. ("Cumberland 2 LP", and together with Cumberland 2
GP, the "Cumberland Companies") both filed NOis (the Edge Companies and the
Cumberland Companies are, collectively, the "Applicants").
5. The Fuller Landau Group Inc. was appointed as proposal trustee ("Proposal Trustee")
in respect of the Applicants' NO Is.
6. On June 8, 2016, the Functionary and the Proposal Trustee entered into a "Protocol for
Co-operation Among Canadian Court Officer and Israeli Functionary" ("Protocol").
7. On June 15, 2016, the Ontario Court approved the entering into of the Protocol.
8. On October 6, 2016, the Ontario Court granted various orders that among other things:
(a) continued the NOI proceedings of the Applicants under the CCAA; (b) appointed
the Proposal Trustee as the monitor of the Applicants; and ( c) continued the Protocol.
9. On September 22, 2017, the Monitor issued its Eighth Report to the Ontario Court
("Monitor's Eighth Report") in support of a motion returnable September 27, 2017.
31326060_3INATDOCS
2
The Monitor's Eighth Report and the related motion sought various forms of relief
including seeking orders approving: (a) the Monitor's activities as described in the
Monitor's Eighth Report; and (b) fees and disbursements of the Monitor and its legal
counsel.
10. On September 26, 2017, the Israeli Court approved a creditors' arrangement plan in
respect of UCI ("Plan Approval Order"). The Plan Approval Order appoints the
Functionary as trustee of the UCI estate.
11. At the September 27, 2017 motion date, the Functionary opposed certain of the relief
that was being sought in relation to the approval of the Monitor's activities and fees
due to concerns over the potential use of funds from the Applicants to pay for legal
expenses incurred in Israel either directly or through work performed by Bennett
Jones, counsel to the Applicants and to Alan Saskin, in opposing the Plan Approval
Order (the "Fee Issues"). The Fee Issues were first raised with the Monitor in the
spring of 2017, some 5-6 months earlier.
12. Ahead of the September 27, 2017 hearing, the Functionary advised the Monitor's
counsel of its concerns.
13. At the attendance the next day, the Functionary advised the Ontario Court of its
concerns. The Monitor advised the Ontario Co mt that Bennett Jones had agreed to
produce their accounts and that a report should be ready in the next week or so.
14. At the September 27, 2017 hearing, the Ontario Court endorsed the records as follows
on the Fee Issues: "The issues of the Monitor's fees & its counsel is to be dealt with by
the parties at 9:30 before me on Oct. 12, 2017 (if necessary)."
15. Despite the statement from the Monitor's counsel, there was no report delivered and
the parties re-attended on October l21h.
16. At the October 12th attendance, the Monitor advised orally that they had reviewed the
accounts of Bennett Jones and had some follow up questions related to a very small
number of docket entries which they have asked Bennett Jones to clarify. They were
31326060_3[NATDOCS
3
otherwise satisfied that the time related to activity properly spent solely on account of
the Applicants.
17. The Ontario Court advised that the fees and activities of the Monitor were being
approved but that such approval was without prejudice to the Functionary's rights to
seek a review of the Bennett Jones' fees and any issue as to the Monitor's activities
that might arise from such a review.
18. The Ontario Court further noted that the Functionary has the right to seek information
and that if the information sought is not produced then the Functionary can seek
directions from the Ontario Court pursuant to the Protocol. The Ontario Court also
noted that any right to production would be subject to any confidentiality or privilege
claims as provided for in the Protocol.
19. The Functionary returned to Toronto after this hearing to meet with various parties
including meeting with the Monitor at their offices on November 21, 2017. At that
meeting, the Functionary repeated the request for the report and the copies of the
underlying Bennett Jones accounts noting that nothing had yet been produced.
20. Counsel to the Monitor again indicated, in a manner similar to that set out in the
September 27, 2017 attendance, that there were just a few outstanding questions
requiring clarification.
21. As at the end of 2017, over 3 months have passed since the September motion date,
and over 8 months since the Fee Issues were first raised, and the Monitor has neither
produced its report nor the underlying Bennett Jones accounts.
22. Therefore, the Functionary brings forward this motion, as provided for in the Protocol,
requiring the Monitor to report on its review of the Bennett Jones accounts and to
produce them for the Functionary to review.

A. BACKGROUND
!. On April 25, 2016, pursuant to an application under Israel's insolvency regime brought by
the indenture trustee of certain notes issued by Urbancorp Inc. ("UCI") on the Israeli
Stock Exchange ("Bond Issuance"), the District Court in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel ("Israeli

Urbancorp Cumberland 2 L.P. ("Cumberland 2 LP", and together with Cumberland 2
GP, the "Cumberland Companies") both filed NOis (hereinafter, the Edge Companies
and the Cumberland Companies are, collectively, the "Applicants".)
5. The Fuller Landau Group Inc. was appointed as proposal trustee ("Proposal Trustee") in
respect of the Applicants' NOis.
6. On June 8, 2016, the Functionary and the Proposal Trustee entered into a "Protocol for
Co-operation Among Canadian Court Officer and Israeli Functionary" ("Protocol") which
the Ontario Court approved on June 15, 2016. A copy of the Protocol is attached as
Appendix "A".
7. On October 6, 2016, the Ontario Court granted various orders that among other things: (a)
continued the NOI proceedings of the Applicants under the CCAA; (b) appointed the
Proposal Trustee as the monitor of the Applicants ("Monitor"); and (c) continued the
Protocol.
8. On September 22, 2017, the Monitor issued its Eighth Report to the Ontario Court
("Monitor's Eighth Report") in support of a motion returnable September 27, 2017. The
Monitor's Eighth Report and the related motion sought various forms of relief including
seeking orders approving: (a) the Monitor's activities as described in the Monitor's Eighth

concerns over the potential use of funds from the Applicants to pay for legal expenses
incurred in Israel either directly or through work performed by Bennett Jones LLP
("Bennett Jones"), counsel to the Applicants and to Alan Saskin, in opposing the Plan
Approval Order ("Fee Issues"). The Fee Issues had been raised with the Monitor several
times back in the spring of 2017, at least 5-6 months before the September hearing date,
both orally and in e-mail correspondence.
PURPOSE OF THE REPORT
The purpose of this Eighth Report is to update the Ontario Court on the Fee Issues and to
request that the Ontario Court grant an order requiring the Monitor to:
(A) Report to the Ontario Court on the Fee Issues; and
(B) Provide to the Functionary copies of the underlying Bennett Jones accounts.
THE FEE ISSUES
Ahead of the September 27, 2017 hearing, the Functionary advised the Monitor's counsel
of its concerns. In an e-mail sent the day before the hearing, the Functionary's counsel
advised:
" ... we have concerns over certain of the relief that is being requested in tomorrow's
motion. As the motion material was served during the Rosh Hashana holiday the
Functionary and its counsel had limited opportunity to review the material ... The
Functionary does take issue with the requests to approve the activities in the gth report
and on the legal proceedings in Israel and the materials are silent on the steps that
have been taken in Israel, who is paying for it and why this would benefit the
creditors of the Cumberland Two estates (the Functionary, on behalf of UCI being,
we believe, one of the largest creditors in the Cumberland Two groups). As such we
are going to ask the court to adjourn that portion of the relief to a date to be set.
In addition, we still await information on the payments that have been made to
Bennett Jones and will raise this issue with the Court at the same time as we address
the issues raised around this report."

A copy of this e-mail is attached as Appendix "B".
13. In response, the Monitor's counsel advised:
"As to your client's concern about the Monitor's involvement on the proceedings in
Israel, we note that it is not the Monitor, but the Proposal Trustee who has retained
counsel in the Israeli proceedings. Thus, there is nothing for the Monitor to report
upon as relates to the Israeli proceedings.
As to the payments to Bennett Jones, based on our last conversation with Bennett
Jones they may soon be releasing un-redacted copies of their invoices. We will
confirm this with them. Once they are released they can be produced in the proper
manner.
A copy of this e-mail is attached as Appendix "C".
14. At the attendance the next day, the Functionary advised the Ontario Court of its concerns.
The Monitor advised the Ontario Court that Bennett Jones had agreed to produce their
accounts and that a report should be ready in the next week or so.
15. At the September 27, 2017 hearing, the Ontario Court endorsed the records as follows on
the Fee Issues: "The issues of the Monitor's fees & its counsel is to be dealt with by the
parties at 9:30 before me on Oct. 12, 2017 (if necessary)." A copy of the September 27,
2017 endorsement is attached as Appendix "D".
16. Despite the statement from the Monitor's counsel, there was no report delivered and the
parties re-attended on October 12'h.
17. At that attendance, the Monitor advised orally that they had reviewed the accounts of
Bennett Jones and had some follow up questions related to a very small number of docket
entries which they have asked Bennett Jones to clarify. They were otherwise satisfied that
the time related to activity properly spent solely on account of the Applicants.
18. The Ontario Court advised that the fees and activities of the Monitor were being approved
but that such approval was without prejudice to the Functionary's rights to seek a review
31326223_ 4JNATDOCS
10
-5-
of the Bennett Jones' fees and any issue as to the Monitor's activities that might arise from
such a review.
19. The Ontario Court further noted that the Functionary has the right to seek information and
that if the information sought is not produced then the Functionary can seek directions
from the Ontario Court pursuant to the Protocol. The Ontario Court also noted that any
right to production would be subject to any confidentiality or privilege claims as provided
for in the Protocol. A copy of the October 12, 2017 endorsement is attached as Appendix
"E".
20. The Functionary returned to Toronto after this hearing to meet with various parties
including meeting with the Monitor at their offices on November 21, 2017. At that
meeting, the Functionary repeated the request for the report and the copies of the
underlying Bennett Jones accounts noting that nothing had yet been produced.
21. Counsel to the Monitor again indicated in a manner similar to that set out in the September
27, 2017 attendance, that there were just a few outstanding questions requiring
clarification.
22. As at the end of 2017, over 3 months have passed since the September hearing date, and
over 8 months since the Fee Issues were first raised, and the Monitor has neither produced
its report nor the underlying Bennett Jones accounts.
23. Therefore, the Functionary brings forward this motion, as provided for in the Protocol,
requiring the Monitor to report on its review of the Bennett Jones accounts and to produce
them for the Functionary to review.
D. RECOMMENDATIONS
24. The Functionary respectfully requests that this Honourable Court grant Orders requiring
that the Monitor:
(a) Deliver its report on the Bennett Jones' account review; and
(b) Produce the Bennett Jones accounts for the Functionary to review itself.

2. The Israeli Parentco Officer and FL agree that, with respect to the Edge Proposal Proceedings:

Alternatively, should the sale process continue to the point of the submission of bids, subject to section 3(b) below, copies of all bids will be provided to the Israeli Parentco Officer by FL, and FL shall discuss same with the Israeli Parentco Officer with the objective, but not the obligation, of hopefully concurring on the course of action to be followed in terms of which bids to continue negotiating or which bid(s) to select, as the successful bidder(s).

15

In the event that such paragraph is not included in the order, then any such disbursements or other material activity or transaction shall not be made without the order of the Canadian Court.
3. The Israeli Parentco Officer and FL further agree to cooperate as follows:
(a) to the extent practicable, each shall share with the other copies of materials to be filed with their respective courts (but not drafts of any such materials), prior to the public filing of same.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to grant any additional claims, rights or priority of claims to, or in respect of, Parentco, the Parentco Bonds or to the trustee under the Parentco Bond Indenture or to the Israeli Parentco Officer as against the Edge Companies. In the event of any restriction or termination of the Israeli Parentco Officer's powers by the Israeli Court, this Protocol shall be deemed to be modified accordingly such that the Israeli Parentco Officer's powers and authority hereunder are no greater that those given to him by the Israeli Court.
5.

Subject: RE: In the Matter of a Plan of Compromise or Arrangement of Urbancorp Cumberland 2 GP Inc., et al., Court File No. CV-16-11541-00CL
Messrs. Forte and Drake
As counsel to the Israeli Functionary we have concerns over certain of the relief that is being requested in tomorrow's motion. As the motion material was served during the Rosh Hashana holiday the Functionary and its counsel had limited opportunity to review the material so this raises only overall concerns at this point. Please note that the Functionary has no objection to the request to the extension of the stay period nor to the appointment of Mr. Polika as a claims officer. The Functionary does take issue with the requests to approve the activities in the 81
h report and on the approval of the fees and disbursements of the Monitor and its counsel. The Monitor has been extensively involved in the legal proceedings in Israel and the materials are silent on the steps that have been taken in Israel, who is paying for it and why this would benefit the creditors of the Cumberland Two estates (the Functionary, on behalf of UCI being, we believe, one of the largest creditors in the Cumberland Two groups). As such we are going to ask the court to adjourn that portion of the relief to a date to be set. 1.n addition, we still await information on the payments that have been made to Bennett Jones and will raise this with the Court at ~he same time as we address the issues raised around this report.

Mr. Kraft,
Thank you for your email below. As to your client's concern about the Monitor's involvement on the proceedings in Israel, we note that it is not the Monitor, but the Proposal Trustee who has retained counsel in the Israeli proceedings. Thus, there is nothing for the Monitor to report upon as relates to the Israeli proceedings.
As to the payments to Bennett Jones, based on our last conversation with Bennett Jones they may soon be releasing unredacted copies of their invoices. We will confirm this with them. Once they are released they can be produced in the proper manner.
We believe the above allays any concerns that the Israeli Functionary has about tomorrow's motion. As it appears that everyone is content to have the CCAA process move forward (as signified by the lack of opposition to the stay extension and appointment of a Claims Officer), we would like to continue that process without additional costs to the creditors caused by further attendances in court. However, if those attendances are inevitable, we would like to schedule them sooner rather than later so all issues can be addressed while fresh in people's minds.
Please let us know what your instructions are for tomorrow morning.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
