Warrant Price Duration and Exercise of Warrants Section 2.1.
Delivery of Warrant ADSs Upon Exercise Within 1 Trading day of the date that a Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company, the Company shall deposit the Warrant Shares subject to such exercise with The Bank of New York Mellon, the Depositary for the ADSs (the “Depositary”) and instruct the Depositary to credit the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Depositary is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement registering for resale of the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and the Warrant ADSs have been sold by the Holder prior to the Warrant ADS Delivery Date (as defined below), and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, by the date that is the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant ADS Delivery Date”). If the Warrant ADSs can be delivered via DWAC, then in addition to the delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Depositary, within one (1) Trading Day of the applicable exercise, the Depositary shall have received from the Company any legal opinions or other documentation required by the Depositary to deliver such ADSs without legend and, if applicable and requested by the Company prior to the Warrant ADS Delivery Date, the Depositary shall have received from the Holder a confirmation of sale of the Warrant ADSs (provided the requirement of the Holder to provide a confirmation as to the sale of Warrant ADSs shall not be applicable to the issuance of unlegended Warrant ADS’s upon a cashless exercise of this Warrant if the Warrant ADSs are then eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)). The Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become the beneficial owner of such Warrant Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price (or by cashless exercise, if permitted) and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such Warrant ADSs having been paid. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the ADSs as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares (a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:
(i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that no action will be recommended to the Commission with respect to the proposed disposition;
(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or
(iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the shares to be issued to the Holder may bear the following legend: THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Terms and Exercise of Warrants (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Warrants shall be exercisable and each Holder shall have the right, which may be exercised at any time from and including October 1, 2009 and prior to or on November 30, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended or accelerated per Section 2(c) below, to purchase from the Bank the number of Shares which the Holder may at the time be entitled to purchase on exercise of such Warrants, as identified on the Master Warrant Certificate. The Bank shall provide each Holder with a warrant exercise form (the "Exercise Form") prior to or contemporaneous with the commencement of the warrant exercise period.
(b) Warrants may only be exercised for the purchase of whole Shares. Warrants may be exercised upon delivery to the Bank of a completed Exercise Form and upon payment to the Bank of the Warrant Exercise Price (as defined herein), for the number of Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then exercised. Payment of the aggregate Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by certified or official bank check, wire transfer or debit from an account at the Bank. Upon such delivery of the Exercise Form and payment of the Warrant Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Bank shall issue and cause to be delivered as promptly as possible to or upon the written order of the Holder, and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate or certificates for the number of full Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants. Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such Shares as of the date of the delivery of the Exercise Form and payment of the Warrant Exercise Price, as aforesaid.
(c) The Bank may accelerate or extend the Expiration Date at any time, in its discretion to a date not earlier than 60 days following mailing of notice. Notice of the acceleration or extension, as applicable, shall contain the accelerated Expiration Date (the “Accelerated Expiration Date”) or the extended Expiration date (the "Extended Expiration Date"), as applicable.
Duration and Exercise of Warrants (a) This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder on any business day before 5:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) at any time and from time to time on or after January 27, 2006 to and including the Expiration Date. At 5:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall expire and become void and of no value. Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company may not call or otherwise redeem this Warrant.
(b) Subject to Section 10, upon delivery of an executed Form of Election to Purchase, together with the grid attached hereto as Annex A duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address for notice set forth in Section 12 and upon payment of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder intends to purchase hereunder, in the manner provided hereunder, all as specified by the Holder in the Form of Election to Purchase, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 5 business days after the Date of Exercise (as defined herein)) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, which may bear a restrictive legend as set forth in Section 7. To effect an exercise hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless all the Warrant Shares have been exercised. Exercises hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the number of Warrant Shares in an amount equal to the applicable exercise, which shall be evidenced by entries set forth on the attached Annex A. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares exercised and the date of such exercises. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following exercise of a portion of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
Conversion and Exercise Procedures The form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Debentures set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Debentures. No additional legal opinion or other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchasers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Debentures. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Debentures and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.
Method of Exercise of Warrants (1) The registered holder of any Warrant may exercise the rights thereby conferred on him to acquire all or any part of the Warrant Shares to which such Warrant entitles the holder, by surrendering the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrants to the Warrant Agent at any time prior to the Time of Expiry at its principal office in the City of Vancouver, British Columbia (or at such additional place or places as may be decided by the Company from time to time with the approval of the Warrant Agent), with a duly completed and executed exercise form (the “Exercise Form”) of the registered holder or his executors, administrators or other legal representative or his attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in the form and manner satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, substantially in the form endorsed on the Warrant Certificate as Schedule “B”, specifying the number of Warrant Shares subscribed for together with a certified cheque, bank draft or money order in lawful money of Canada, payable to or to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares subscribed for. A Warrant Certificate with the duly completed and executed Exercise Form and payment of the Exercise Price shall be deemed to be surrendered only upon personal delivery thereof to or, if sent by mail or other means of transmission, upon actual receipt thereof by the Warrant Agent.
(2) The Exercise Form shall be signed by the Warrantholder, or his executors, or administrators or other legal representative or his attorney duly appointed by an instrument in writing in the form and manner satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, shall specify the person(s) in whose name such Warrant Shares are to be issued, the address(es) of such person(s) and the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to each person, if more than one is so specified. If any of the Warrant Shares subscribed for are to be issued to (a) person(s) other than the Warrantholder, the signatures set out in the Exercise Form shall be guaranteed by a Canadian Schedule I chartered bank or a medallion signature guarantee from a member of a recognized Signature Medallion Guarantee Program and (b) the Warrantholder shall pay to the Company or the Warrant Agent all applicable transfer or similar taxes and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver certificates evidencing Warrant Shares unless or until such Warrantholder shall have paid to the Company or the Warrant Agent on behalf of the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or that no tax is due.
(3) If, at the time of exercise of the Warrants, in accordance with the provisions of subsections 4.1(1) or 4.1(4), there are any trading restrictions on the Warrant Shares pursuant to Securities Laws or stock exchange requirements, the Company shall, on the advice of counsel, endorse any certificates or book-entry positions representing the Warrant Shares to such effect. The Warrant Agent is entitled to assume compliance with all Securities Laws unless otherwise notified in writing by the Company.
(4) A Beneficial Owner of Uncertificated Warrant evidenced by a security entitlement in respect of Warrants in the Book-Based System who desires to exercise his Uncertificated Warrants, must do so by causing a CDS Participant to deliver to CDS (at its office in the City of Toronto), on behalf of the Beneficial Owner at any time prior to the Time of Expiry, a written notice of the Beneficial Owner’s intention to exercise Warrants (the “Exercise Notice”) in a manner acceptable to CDS. Forthwith upon receipt by CDS of such notice, as well as payment for the aggregate Exercise Price, CDS shall deliver to the Warrant Agent confirmation of its intention to exercise Warrants (the “Confirmation”) in a manner acceptable to the Warrant Agent, including by electronic means through the Book-Based System. The Beneficial Owner will initiate the electronic exercise through the Book-Based System, by way of the Confirmation and forward the aggregate Exercise Price electronically to the Warrant Agent and the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to CDS through the Book-Based System the Warrant Shares to which the exercising Beneficial Owner is entitled pursuant to the exercise. Any expense associated with the preparation and delivery of Exercise Notices will be for the account of the Beneficial Owner exercising the Warrants and the Warrant Agent will execute the exercise by issuing to CDS through the Book-Based System the Warrant Shares to which the exercising Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise. Any expense associated with the exercise process will be for the account of the entitlement holder exercising the Warrants and/or the CDS Participant exercising the Warrants on its behalf. By causing a CDS Participant to deliver notice to CDS, a Beneficial Owner shall be deemed to have irrevocably surrendered his Warrants so exercised and appointed such CDS Participant to act as his or her exclusive settlement agent with respect to the exercise and the receipt of Warrant Shares in connection with the obligations arising from such exercise. Any notice which CDS determines to be incomplete, not in proper form or not duly executed shall for all purposes be void and of no effect and the exercise to which it relates shall be considered for all purposes not to have been exercised thereby. A failure by a CDS Participant to exercise or to give effect to the settlement thereof in accordance with the Beneficial Owner’s instructions will not give rise to any obligations or liability on the part of the Company or Warrant Agent to the CDS Participant or the Beneficial Owner. If the Exercise Form set forth in the Warrant Certificate shall have been amended, the Company shall cause the amended Exercise Form to be forwarded to all registered Warrantholders. Exercise Forms and Confirmations must be delivered to the Warrant Agent at any time during the Warrant Agent’s actual business hours on any Business Day prior to the Expiry Time. Any Exercise Form or Confirmations received by the Warrant Agent after business hours on any Business Day other than the Expiry Date will be deemed to have been received by the Warrant Agent on the next following Business Day. Any Warrant with respect to which a Confirmation or Exercise Form is not received by the Warrant Agent before the Expiry Time shall be deemed to have expired and become void and all rights with respect to such Warrants shall terminate and be cancelled.
Effect of Exercise of Warrants (1) Upon compliance by the Warrantholder with the provisions of Section 3.1, the Warrant Shares subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and the person to whom such Warrant Shares are to be issued shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the Exercise Date unless the transfer registers of the Company for the Common Shares shall be closed on such date, in which case the Warrant Shares subscribed for shall be deemed to have been issued and such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares on the date on which such transfer registers are reopened.
(2) The Warrant Agent shall as soon as practicable account to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised, and shall as soon as practicable forward to the Company (or into an account or accounts of the Company with the bank or trust company designated by the Company for that purpose), all monies received by the Warrant Agent on the subscription of Warrant Shares through the exercise of Warrants. All such monies and any securities or other instruments, from time to time received by the Warrant Agent, shall be received in trust for the Warrantholders and the Company as their interests may appear and shall be segregated and kept apart by the Warrant Agent.
(3) Within five Business Days following the due exercise of a Warrant pursuant to Section 3.1, the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to issue and the Warrant Agent to deliver, within such five Business Day period, to CDS through the Book-Entry Only System the Warrant Shares to which the exercising Warrantholder is entitled pursuant to the exercise or mail to the person in whose name the Warrant Shares so subscribed for are to be issued, as specified in the exercise form completed on the Warrant Certificate, at the address specified in such exercise form, a certificate or certificates for the Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder is entitled or, if so specified in writing by the holder, cause to be delivered to such person or persons at the office of the Warrant Agent where the Warrant Certificate was surrendered, a certificate or certificates for the appropriate number of Warrant Shares subscribed for, or any other appropriate evidence of the issuance of Warrant Shares to such person or persons in respect of Warrant Shares issued under the Book-Entry Only System and, if applicable, shall cause the Warrant Agent to mail a Warrant Certificate representing any Warrants not then exercised.
Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares and Exercise Price The number and kind of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
