Following each exercise or deemed exercise of the Conversion Right in accordance with Section 3.1(a) or 3.1(b), the Corporation shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the Trust Fund corresponding to the number of Special Warrants in respect of which the Conversion Right is exercised or deemed to have been exercised, which shall be paid to the Corporation in accordance with Trust Account Agreement.
(i)
In the event of a Deemed Conversion Event by reason of (b), (c), (d), or (e) of the definition of Deemed Conversion Event, Profound shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to redeem all or any portion of the Special Warrants then outstanding instead of issuing Common Shares on conversion of the Special Warrants in which case the Special Warrants to be redeemed will be redeemed in accordance with Section 3.3 (disregarding Subsection 3.3(c)) as if PET had delivered a Redemption Notice with respect to such Special Warrants.
3.2
No Fractional Shares
The Corporation shall not be required, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of a Conversion Right, or upon any adjustment in accordance with ARTICLE 4, to issue fractions of Common Shares to any person or to issue certificates which evidence a fractional Common Share. To the extent that PET or such other person would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction or fractions of a Common Share on the conversion or partial conversion of its Special Warrants, or upon any adjustment in accordance with ARTICLE 4, PET or such other person shall only be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall only be required to issue, the next lowest whole number of Common Shares. The Corporation shall not pay any amounts to the holder in satisfaction of the right to otherwise have received a fraction of a Common Share.
3.3
Redemption
(a)
In the event of a Redemption Event or the occurrence of any event or circumstance that may reasonably be expected to constitute a Redemption Event the Corporation shall forthwith notify PET thereof, provided that if Profound is uncertain as to whether a Redemption Event has occurred, Profound shall promptly inform PET of the full particulars of the occurrence giving rise to the uncertainty and shall consult with PET as to whether the occurrence is of such nature as may constitute a Redemption Event.
(b)
In the event of a Redemption Event:
(i)
PET shall be entitled, at any time after the occurrence of the Redemption Event, at its option, to exercise its Redemption Right with respect to all or any part of the Special Warrants then outstanding by delivering to the Corporation a Redemption Notice specifying the number of Special Warrants in respect of which it is exercising the Redemption Right and indicating the Redemption Event giving rise to the Redemption Right; and
(ii)
following the delivery of such Redemption Notice, unless the Redemption Event in respect of which the notice is given shall have been cured to the satisfaction of PET, acting reasonably, and PET shall have delivered a notice to that effect to the
- 13 -
Corporation and the Trustee within three (3) Business Days of the delivery of the Redemption Notice, PET shall be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of the Trust Fund corresponding to the number of Special Warrants in respect of which the Redemption Right is exercised, which shall be paid to PET in accordance with the Trust Account Agreement.
(c)
For greater certainty, and notwithstanding Section 3.3(b), in the event of a Redemption Event, PET shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to exercise its Conversion Right in respect of any Special Warrants then outstanding, instead of its Redemption Right in respect thereof.
(d)
Effective after the exercise of the Redemption Right and payment of the pro rata portion of the Trust Fund as contemplated in Section 3.3(b), the Special Warrants in respect of which the Redemption Right has been so exercised shall be void and of no further value or effect.
(e)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Trust Account Agreement, nothing herein or therein shall restrict or limit the ability of the Parties to mutually agree at any time and from time to time that all or any part of the Special Warrants shall be redeemed and repurchased by the Corporation on such terms and conditions as the Parties may agree.
4.1
Adjustment to Number of Common Shares
The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in the following circumstances and manner:
(a)
Subject to Section 4.2, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date to the Outside Date, the Corporation shall:
(i)
subdivide, redivide or change its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares;
(ii)
reduce, combine or consolidate its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares; or
(iii)
issue Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares to the holders of all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or make a distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares on its outstanding Common Shares payable in Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares;
then, in each such event, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, redivision, change, reduction, combination or consolidation, or the record date for such issue of Common Shares by way of a stock dividend or distribution, as the case may be, by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on such effective date or record date by a fraction:
- 14 -
(A)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such date; and
(B)
the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such date.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event referred to in this Section 4.1(a) shall occur. Any such issue or distribution of Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares shall be deemed to have been made on the record date for such issue or distribution for the purpose of calculating the number of outstanding Common Shares under Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.1(c).
(b)
Subject to Section 4.2, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date to the Outside Date, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all of the holders of its outstanding Common Shares entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 45 days after such record date, to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion or exchange price per share) less than 98% of the Current Market Price on such record date, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(i)
the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase or into which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered are convertible or exchangeable; and
(ii)
the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus a number of Common Shares equal to the number arrived at by dividing the aggregate price of the total number of additional Common Shares offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion or exchange price of the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered) by such Current Market Price.
Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that any such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect based upon the number of Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) actually issued upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, as the case may be.
(c)
Subject to Section 4.2, if and whenever at any time from the Closing and prior to the Outside Date, the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a distribution to all or substantially all the holders of its outstanding Common Shares of:
(i)
shares of the Corporation of any class other than Common Shares or other securities of the Corporation;
- 15 -
(ii)
rights, options or warrants to acquire Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) or other securities of the Corporation;
(iii)
evidences of its indebtedness; or
(iv)
any property or other assets;
(excluding, in each case, any distribution referred to in Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b)) then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted immediately after such record date so that it shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date by a fraction:
(i)
the numerator of which will be the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price on such record date; and
(ii)
the denominator of which will be:
(A)
the product of the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date and the Current Market Price on such record date; less
(B)
the aggregate fair market value, as determined by the directors of the Corporation, acting reasonably (whose determination will be conclusive), to the holders of Common Shares, of such shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets so distributed.
Any Common Shares owned by or held for the account of the Corporation or any subsidiary shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. To the extent that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect based upon such shares, other securities, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets actually distributed, as the case may be.
(d)
Subject to Section 4.2, if and whenever at any time from the Closing Date and prior to the Outside Date, there is a reclassification of the Common Shares or a capital reorganization of the Corporation (other than as described in Section 4.1(a), Section 4.1(b) or Section 4.1(c)) or an amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Corporation with or into any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, or a sale or conveyance of the property and assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any other body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity, PET shall, upon exercise or deemed exercise of such Conversion Right, be entitled to receive and shall accept, in lieu of the number of Common Shares to which PET was prior thereto entitled upon any such exercise or deemed exercise, the number of shares or other securities or property of the Corporation or of the body corporate, trust, partnership or other entity resulting from such amalgamation, arrangement or merger or to which such sale or conveyance may be made, as the case may be, that PET would have been entitled to receive on such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance, if on the record date or the effective date thereof, as the case may be, PET had been the registered holder of the number of Common Shares to which immediately before the transaction he
- 16 -
was entitled upon exercise or deemed exercise of the Conversion Right. To give effect to or to evidence the provisions of this Section 4.1(d), the Corporation, its successor, or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity, as the case may be, shall, prior to or contemporaneously with any such reclassification, capital reorganization, amalgamation, arrangement, merger, sale or conveyance, enter into an agreement which shall provide, to the extent possible, for the application of the provisions set out in this Agreement with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of PET to the effect that the provisions set out in this Agreement shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be possible, with respect to any shares, other securities or property to which PET is entitled on the exercise or deemed exercise of the Conversion Right thereafter. Any agreement entered into between the Corporation, any successor to the Corporation or such purchasing body corporate, partnership, trust or other entity and the Corporation shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided in this Section 4.1 and which shall apply to successive reclassifications, capital reorganizations, amalgamations, arrangements, mergers, sales or conveyances.
(e)
In any case in which this Section 4.1 shall require that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event referred to herein the Corporation may defer, until the occurrence of such event, issuing to PET, the additional Common Shares or other securities or property issuable upon such exercise or deemed exercise as the case may be, by reason of the adjustment required by such event before giving effect to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Corporation shall deliver to PET, as soon as reasonably practicable after such record date, an appropriate instrument evidencing PET's right to receive such additional Common Shares or other securities or property upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment and the right to receive any distributions made on such additional Common Shares or other securities or property declared in favour of holders of record of Common Shares or securities or property on and after the relevant date of exercise or deemed exercise, as the case may be, or such later date as PET would, but for the provisions of this Section 4.2(e), have become the holder of record of such additional Common Shares or other securities or property pursuant to this Section 4.1, provided that if the other securities are not securities of the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to any holder should the issuer thereof not pay any distribution declared thereon.
(f)
In any case in which Section 4.1(c) requires that an adjustment be made to the Conversion Rate, no such adjustment shall be made if PET receives the shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property referred to in Section 4.1(c), in such kind and number as PET would have received if it had been a holder of Common Shares on the applicable record date or effective date, as the case may be, by virtue of their Special Warrants having then been converted, to acquire Common Shares at the Conversion Rate in effect on the applicable record date or effective dates as the case may be.
(g)
The adjustments provided for in this Section 4.1 are cumulative and shall apply to successive subdivisions, redivisions, reductions, combinations, consolidations, distributions, issues or other events resulting in any adjustment under the provisions of this Section 4.1, provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1, no adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the Conversion Rate then in effect, provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 4.1(g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
- 17 -
(h)
If the Corporation sets a record date to determine the holders of Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or distribution or sets a record date to take any other action and, thereafter and before the distribution to such shareholders of any such dividend or distribution or the taking of any other action, legally abandons its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution or take such other action, then no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate.
(i)
After any adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.1, the term "Common Shares" where used in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean securities of any class or classes which as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.1, PET is entitled to receive upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Conversion Right and the number of Common Shares to be issued upon any exercise or deemed exercise of an Conversion Right, shall be interpreted to mean the number of Common Shares or other property or securities PET is entitled to receive, as a result of such adjustment and all prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.1, upon the full exercise of an Conversion Right comprising part of a Special Warrant, as the case may be.
4.2
No Adjustment for Stock Options, etc.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ARTICLE 4, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Agreement upon or in respect of the issue of Common Shares pursuant to any stock option or stock purchase plan in force from time to time for officers, directors or employees of the Corporation or pursuant to any stock option granted or other convertible security issued by the Corporation prior to the date of this Agreement.
4.3
Determination by Corporation's Auditors
In the event of any question arising with respect to the adjustments provided for in this ARTICLE 4, such question shall be conclusively determined by the Corporation's auditors, who shall have access to all necessary records of the Corporation, and such determination shall be binding upon the Corporation, PET and all other persons interested therein.
4.4
Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment
As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Right, including the Conversion Rate, the Corporation shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of Corporation's Counsel, be necessary to ensure that the Corporation has sufficient authorized capital and that the Corporation may validly and legally issue, as fully paid and non-assessable shares, all of the Common Shares which PET is entitled to receive on the exercise or deemed exercise of the Conversion Right, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
4.5
Action Requiring Adjustment
In case the Corporation, after the date hereof, shall take any action affecting the Common Shares other than the actions described in this ARTICLE 4 which, in the opinion of the directors of the Corporation would materially affect the rights of PET and/or the Conversion Right attached to the Special Warrants, then the number of Common Shares which are to be received upon the exercise or deemed exercise of Conversion Right comprising part of the Special Warrants shall be adjusted in such manner, if any, and at such time as the directors of the Corporation may, in their discretion, reasonably determine to be equitable to PET in such circumstances.
- 18 -
4.6
Certificate of Adjustment
The Corporation shall, immediately after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment or readjustment as provided in this ARTICLE 4, deliver a certificate of the Corporation to PET specifying the nature of the event requiring such adjustment or readjustment and the amount of the adjustment or readjustment necessitated thereby and setting out in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based, which certificate shall be supported by a certificate of the Corporation's auditors verifying such calculation.
4.7
Notice of Special Matters
The Corporation covenants with PET that, so long as any Special Warrants remain outstanding, it will give notice to PET of its intention to fix the record date for any event referred to in Section 4.1(a), Section 4.1(b) and Section 4.1(c) which may give rise to an adjustment in the Conversion Rate. Such notice shall specify the particulars of such event and the record date for such event, provided that the Corporation shall only be required to specify in the notice such particulars of the event as shall have been fixed and determined on the date on which the notice is given. The notice shall be given in each case not less than 14 days prior to such applicable record date.
