Schedule B-10
8.2 | The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been advised to consult its own legal advisors with respect to applicable resale restrictions and that it is solely responsible (and the Issuer is not in any manner responsible) for complying with such restrictions. |
9.0 | participation right |
9.1 | In the event that the Issuer commences a public offering or private placement (each, a “Proposed Offering”) of Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into Common Shares (“Equity Securities”), the Investor shall have the right (the “Participation Right”) to subscribe for such number of Equity Securities under the Proposed Offering that would allow the Purchaser to maintain the Purchaser’s Percentage at the time of the Proposed Offering all on the same terms and conditions as offered to other potential subscribers and in compliance with Section 9.2, to maintain the Purchaser’s Percentage, on a partially-diluted basis (taking into account any share purchase warrants and other convertible securities issued to the Purchaser as part of any Proposed Offering). For greater certainty, the term “Proposed Offering” shall exclude (i) the granting of stock options, deferred share units, restricted share units, bonus shares, or other Equity Securities under any security based compensation arrangement of the Issuer, and (ii) the issuance of any Common Shares on the exercise of any convertible securities of the Issuer that are outstanding as of the date hereof. |
9.2 | For so long as the Participation Right continues to be in effect, and in the event that the Issuer proposes a Proposed Offering, the Issuer shall deliver copies of all documents and other materials delivered by the Issuer (or any agent of the Issuer) to potential subscribers or purchasers and a notice to the Purchaser in writing (the “Financing Notice”) specifying: |
(a) | as of the date thereof, the total number of outstanding Common Shares; |
(b) | the total number and type of Equity Securities which are being offered; |
(c) | the rights, privileges, restrictions, terms and conditions of such Equity Securities; |
(d) | the consideration for which such Equity Securities are being offered under the Proposed Offering; and |
(e) | the proposed closing date of the Proposed Offering. |
9.3 | The Purchaser shall have the option by written notice given to the Issuer (a “Financing Subscription Notice”), to subscribe for up to that number of Equity Securities being offered for sale (as described in the Financing Notice) for the consideration set forth in the Financing Notice such that its Pro Rata Interest after giving effect to the Proposed Offering and the Purchaser’s participation therein shall be no less than its Pro Rata Interest immediately prior to the Proposed Offering. In the Financing Subscription Notice, the Purchaser shall specify the number of Equity Securities actually beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by it as at the date of the Financing Notice and the number of Equity Securities for which the Purchaser is subscribing. The right to subscribe is exercisable by the Purchaser for a period of five Business Days from the date the Financing Notice is delivered, provided that such period shall be reduced to 48 hours in the case of a ‘bought deal’ financing proposal by the Issuer where the Issuer has entered into a binding commitment with one or more underwriters to purchase Equity Securities for resale by means of a short form prospectus to be filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities and, in such event, any Equity Securities subscribed for by the Purchaser shall be issued by the Company on a private placement basis. |
9.4 | If the Purchaser fails to deliver a Financing Subscription Notice within the period identified in Section 9.3 or waives its rights hereunder following receipt of a Financing Notice, then any rights which the Purchaser may have had to subscribe for any of the Equity Securities covered by that specific Financing Notice shall be extinguished, provided that the Issuer shall not then complete a Proposed Offering for less consideration per Equity Security or otherwise on more favourable terms to the subscribers or purchasers without first providing the Purchaser with an amended Financing Notice, in which case Sections 9.2 and 9.3 shall apply again. |
Schedule B-11
9.5 | The Purchaser agrees that, if required by Applicable Securities Laws, securities regulatory authorities or stock exchanges, the Purchaser shall execute and deliver any report, undertaking or other documents with respect to the issue of Equity Securities to it contemplated hereunder as may be required. |
9.6 | If, in the case of a Proposed Offering, the Purchaser does not exercise its associated Participation Right in full and the Pro Rata Interest of the Purchaser falls below 1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, the Purchaser shall cease to have any rights and obligations under this Section 9.0 from such point forward and this Agreement shall terminate at such time. |
10.0 | USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION |
